President's letter

August 14, 2015

Dear Shareholder,

In my last letter, I wrote about the building forward momentum of the US economy against a backdrop of economic weakness outside the United States. Since I last wrote to you, the rise of two economic themes has begun to cast a shadow on the global growth story. The first of these, the continuing Greek debt crisis, appears to be on the road to resolution after an agreement was reached in July between the Greek government and its creditors. Although the risk of Greece's exit from the eurozone is somewhat reduced, substantial political and economic challenges remain. While the news of an agreement has brought relief to global markets, it is disconcerting to consider that the future of the European project has not been in such peril since the introduction of the euro in 1999.

Turning to a development that is decidedly less settled, Chinese equity markets have seen some spectacular declines in recent months, raising questions about the durability of the world's second-largest economy. The Shanghai composite index hit a high of 5,166 on June 12, before falling 30% in just three weeks. Taken together, over $3 trillion of value has been wiped away from the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges in a matter of weeks. China's economy grew at its slowest pace since 1990 last year, and early indicators suggest that the economy has weakened further so far into 2015. While investor confidence in China has been understandably shaken, it remains to be seen what effect these headwinds may have outside of the country.

In this global investment landscape of debt crises and shaken confidence, partnering with a knowledgeable asset manager, such as UBS Global Asset Management, can help investors avoid potential pitfalls on the path to reaching their long-term financial goals. As we continue to review the UBS family of funds with an eye toward an ever-changing investment landscape, we remain committed to providing a diverse range of solutions that can be used to create a comprehensive investment plan. Core funds—such as UBS US Large Cap Equity Fund—are the foundation on which many investors build their portfolios. Driven by fundamental research and long-term perspective, these funds used disciplined approaches that time and experience have shown can lead to successful outcomes, despite shorter-term market fluctuations and shocks.

Furthermore, we believe that flexible investment solutions can strengthen an investment plan against market shocks and declines. In this spirit, UBS Global Asset Management provides flexibly managed funds to help create well-balanced, globally diversified portfolios. In our view, flexible funds that may be less correlated to market trends and have multiple sources of revenue are an important component of a comprehensive investment plan. Many of the funds in the UBS family—such as UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund—are designed to achieve consistent returns with less reliance on favorable market conditions. When included in a comprehensive investment plan, these funds act as ballast during volatile market conditions and may have the effect of smoothing a portfolio's performance over time. As we have seen in the first half of 2015, market shocks can take any number of forms and can originate in any corner of the world. In today's market environment, we believe it is crucial that investors diversify their holdings within the context of a carefully considered plan. When combined in the context of such a plan, UBS Global Asset Management's foundational and flexible funds can assist investors in obtaining peace of mind while looking toward the future.

President's letter

In my correspondence over the years, I have written at considerable length about the importance of having a sound investment plan. Creating an investment plan with a knowledgeable financial advisor is an opportunity to envision the future that you would like to have, while being cognizant of the potential challenges that lie ahead. At UBS Global Asset Management, we believe that in managing our funds we create more than investment returns: we help our clients achieve their goals. As we continue to evolve our funds to provide stable returns in a variety of market conditions, we rely on our firm's client-oriented culture to guide everything we do. With over 30 years of experience in active investment management, UBS Global Asset Management is ready to serve you with our family of funds and knowledgeable professionals as we look toward the future, a future we create together.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver
President

The markets in review

Global growth generally improves

Growth in the US fluctuated during the reporting period. The US Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") expanded at a 4.3% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the third quarter of 2014. GDP growth then moderated to 2.1% during the fourth quarter and 0.6% for the first quarter of 2015, partially due to severe winter weather in parts of the country. However, the economy then improved, as the Commerce Department's initial estimate for second quarter GDP was 2.3%.1

The US Federal Reserve Board largely maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the reporting period. The central bank continued to hold the fed 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.) However, at the Fed's meeting in October 2014, it said that it had concluded its asset purchase program, also known as quantitative easing. At its March 2015 meeting, the Fed said that it "... anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate when it has seen further improvement in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2% objective over the medium term." Finally, at the central bank's meeting that concluded in June 2015, the Fed said that it "...currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run."

In terms of the global economy, the International Monetary Fund's ("IMF") July 2015 World Economic Outlook Update, released after the reporting period ended, said "A setback to activity in the first quarter of 2015, mostly in North America, has resulted in a small downward revision to global growth for 2015 relative to the April 2015 World Economic Outlook. Nevertheless, the underlying drivers for a gradual acceleration in economic activity in advanced economies—easy financial conditions, more neutral fiscal policy in the euro area, lower fuel prices, and improving confidence and labor market conditions—remain intact." The IMF projects that 2015 growth in the eurozone will be 1.5%, versus 0.8% in 2014. Japan's economy is expected to expand 0.8% in 2015, an improvement from the 0.1% contraction in 2014. In contrast, the IMF sees growth in emerging market countries decelerating in 2015, with GDP of 4.2% compared to 4.6% in 2014.

US equities post superior results

While it experienced several setbacks, the US equity market generated solid results during the reporting period. Investor sentiment was challenged at times given some mixed global economic data and corporate profit figures, as well as numerous geopolitical issues. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 7.42% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015. In contrast, international equities produced weak results, as they were dragged down by growth concerns, fluctuating oil prices and, most recently, the escalating crisis in Greece. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 fell 4.22% during the period. Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 declined 5.12% over the same period.

1  Based on the Commerce Department's initial estimate announced on July 30, 2015, after the reporting period had ended.

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

3  The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

4  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of different emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Basin. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

The markets in review

Mixed returns in the fixed income market

The global fixed income markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This was triggered by incoming economic data, uncertainties surrounding future monetary policy and—as was the case for the equity market—unfolding geopolitical events. Against this backdrop, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell from 2.53% to 2.35% during the reporting period and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 gained 1.86%. A sharp sell-off late in the reporting period pushed the returns of riskier fixed income securities into negative territory for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015. High yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index6 declined 0.52% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 fell 1.57%.

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

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

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

UBS Asset Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Asset Growth Fund declined 1.18% (Class A shares fell 6.58% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares declined 0.96%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) (the "Index") gained 1.43%. (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 a negative return during the reporting 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 utilization of currency futures had a direct negative impact on Fund performance. Various equity and fixed income futures and exchange traded funds (ETFs) were used to implement our market allocation strategy. Derivatives were just one tool, among others, that we used to implement our market allocation strategy. In aggregate, these derivatives added to performance relative to the benchmark during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

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

  – The Fund's position in Japanese equities was the biggest contributor to performance. Japan continued to be a top performing equity market, as monetary stimulus by the Bank of Japan has had a positive effect on equity markets.

  – The Fund also maintained an overweight position in European equities, which had a strong run of performance following the European Central Bank's decision to enact quantitative easing in January 2015.

What didn't work:

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

  – The Fund held positions in US credit, both investment grade and high yield, which negatively impacted performance. Credit spreads widened during the reporting period, creating negative price action on corporate credit.

•  Certain equity positions were negative for performance.

  – The Fund was hurt by a long position in emerging market equities which underperformed during the period. Volatility was high, as the Chinese stock market had a significant rally and subsequent fall.

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, both market volatility and Fund-realized volatility remained mostly subdued and, therefore, the Fund maintained leverage throughout the period. However, during October and December 2014, 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 some of 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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") gained 2.03% (Class A shares declined 3.56% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 2.29%. For purposes of comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned 1.38% during the same time period, the MSCI World Free Index (net) gained 1.43%, and the Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 0.02%. (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 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, 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 were the biggest drivers of returns during the reporting period.

  – Net long positions in developed-market equities were additive for results. Strong performance was achieved from the Fund's long position in Japanese equities, which rallied on the back of monetary stimulus. A long position in European equities was also beneficial. They generated strong performance following the European Central Bank's decision to enact quantitative easing.

  – The Fund's positioning within Chinese equities was beneficial to performance. The Fund took advantage of mispricing in the China A-share market and China H-share market through the use of futures.

•  Certain fixed income positions added value over the reporting period.

  – The Fund held a long position in Australian government bonds, which added significant value, as the Reserve Bank of Australia cut interest rates in early 2015.

  – The Fund's relative value trade of long German government bonds versus French government bonds added value, as the spread between these two sovereigns widened.

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

  – The Fund's short position in commodity currencies such as the New Zealand dollar and Australian dollar relative to the US dollar were the biggest contributors to currency results, as commodity prices declined during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's trade of long Mexican peso versus Canadian dollar added to performance.

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


12



UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

What didn't work:

•  Certain equity positions were negative during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's pair trade of long US industrials versus US consumer staples was a headwind for results. Historically, consumer staples have underperformed industrials during the growth phase of the business cycle, but this did not occur as expected during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's positioning in emerging market equities was negative for performance. While there appears to be a general weakness in the broad emerging market, strong returns in December, January and February did not favor our short emerging market position.

•  Overall, the Fund's fixed income positioning was slightly negative for results.

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

  – The Fund was hurt by its positioning in US government bonds, particularly since the Fund was positioned for a flattening of the US yield curve, which did not occur.

•  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, as the yen significantly depreciated due to the Bank of Japan's actions during the reporting period.

  – The position of long Mexican peso versus Malaysian ringgit was negative for performance, as the peso depreciated, primarily due to falling oil prices.

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  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 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.

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.

6  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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

11  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.

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

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

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

UBS Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") gained 2.08% (Class A shares declined 3.51% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 2.31%. In contrast, the Fund's benchmark, the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD), returned 1.95% during the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) returned 0.71% and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) returned 3.54% 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 35; 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 slightly outperformed the benchmark. Positive performance was primarily due to our active currency strategy and bottom-up security selection.

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, 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:

•  Certain active equity positions added to performance.

  – The Fund's overweight to Japanese equities significantly added to performance over the reporting period. Japanese equities rallied amid monetary policy easing by the Bank of Japan.

  – The Fund also benefited from a relative value trade of long German equities versus Swedish equities, as European equities stand to benefit from easing by the European Central Bank and a weakening currency.

•  Certain active fixed income positions were positive for performance.

  – Throughout the period, the Fund maintained a significant underweight to US bonds, which was the correct asset allocation decision, as US bonds underperformed other asset classes.

  – The Fund held an overweight position in UK government bonds, which was additive for results.

  – The Fund's underweight to Japanese bonds was beneficial, as yields on Japanese government bonds rose during the period, resulting in falling bond prices.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

•  Overall, the Fund'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.

•  Overall, the Fund's bottom-up security selection was positive for results.

  – Strong security selection came within US equities and emerging market equities.

What didn't work:

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

  – An underweight to US equities negatively impacted performance as periods of weak global growth outside of the US caused a flight to quality.

  – The Fund's relative value trade of long Canadian equities versus Australian equities detracted from performance, as falling oil prices caused Canadian equity markets to underperform Australian markets.

•  Certain fixed income allocations detracted from results.

  – The Fund was positioned with the expectation that the yield curve in the US was going to flatten as the Federal Reserve Board approaches normalization of their interest rate policy. Instead, the US central bank was rather dovish in their June meeting, causing the yield curve to steepen, and we closed the trade.

  – Performance was also negatively impacted by a long position in Australian bonds, which gave back some of their gains from earlier periods.

•  Certain active currency positions were negative for results relative to the benchmark.

  – The Fund's trade of long Japanese yen versus the US dollar and euro detracted from performance, as the yen significantly depreciated after Bank of Japan action during the reporting period.

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 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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at June 30, 2015.

2  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $825,504 or 0.16% 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 June 30, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $8,287,832 or 1.64% of net assets.

4  Amount represents less than 0.005%.

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

6  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  If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap agreement less the recovery value of the underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

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

10  Payments received are based on the notional amount.

11  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 Multi-Asset Income Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (the "Fund") declined 0.31% (Class A shares fell 4.82% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares declined 0.07%. For comparison purposes, the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (the "Index") gained 0.75% 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 50; 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.)

We managed the portfolio in accordance with our low to moderate risk profile for the Fund. We continued to place a strong emphasis on minimizing interest rate risk and protecting capital during the reporting period. During the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund paid out income in line with its objective and additionally distributed capital gains earned by the Fund. As such, the yield for the period is well above its stated target of 3% to 6%. For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund's yield was 10.38% and 10.61% for Class A and Class P shares, respectively.

During the reporting period, we used derivatives, including writing covered calls, to increase cash flow and implement our market allocations. 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 performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  The Fund's allocation to US equities contributed to performance.

  – The Fund maintained a long position of approximately 14% to US equities, which had strong performance throughout the period, particularly in the second half of 2014. Within US equities, we maintained a preference for high-dividend stocks, which yield on average 3.1%.

•  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 reporting period. Real estate provides a source of income while adding diversification to the portfolio.

•  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 performed well, while also offering attractive yield of 5.0%–5.5%, delivered through the combination of secure, long-term and operational contracts with intrinsic inflation protection, which provided an attractive prospect for yield seeking investors.

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

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

•  Certain duration management positions contributed to results.

  – The Fund held a trade of long German government bonds versus French government bonds, which contributed positively to the Fund's results. This was predicated on the fact that the spread between these two sovereigns was too wide based on historical standards and was set to narrow.

What didn't work:

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

  – The Fund held approximately 7% of its assets in non-US developed equities. Due to concerns regarding global growth and political uncertainty, markets such as European equities struggled during the reporting period. International equities do have a higher dividend yield than US equities, however, which helped us meet our income objective.

  – The Fund maintained a position of approximately 5% in emerging market equities. As the price in oil rapidly declined toward the end of 2014 and concerns grew over growth and inflation in emerging market economies, the equity markets were negatively impacted. Emerging market equities pay out a high dividend yield of 4.8% and, therefore, do provide a yield cushion.

* 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 their attractive yield levels and the environment of strong fundamentals. However, during the reporting period concern grew in the energy sector, which comprises roughly 15% of the US high yield index, due to the falling price of oil. While spreads in the energy sector have begun to temper since the end of 2014, they are still well above levels seen a year ago.

•  The Fund's yield curve allocation within US government bonds detracted from performance.

  – During the reporting period, the Fund was positioned with the expectation that the US yield curve would flatten as the Federal Reserve Board was set to raise interest rates. This did not play out as expected, however, given the accommodative tone of the US central bank.

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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  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 June 30, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $398,682 or 2.22% of net assets.

3  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of June 30, 2015 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  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.

EURIBOR  Euro Interbank Offered Rate

GDR  Global depositary receipt

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.

REIT  Real estate investment trust

REMIC  Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit

SPDR  Standard & Poor's Depository Receipts

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

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

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

Explanation of expense disclosure

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.

Actual expenses

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

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

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

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.

1  For UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS Global Allocation Fund, Class A, the maximum sales charge is 5.50%. Classes C and P have no front-end sales charges. For Class A, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the shares' offering price or the net asset value at the time of sale by the shareholder, whichever is less, is charged on sales of shares on original purchases of $1 million or more that were not subject to a front-end sales charge made within one year of the purchase date. Class C maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Class 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 is 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. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated.

2  For UBS Multi Asset Income Fund Class A, the maximum sales charge is 4.50%. Classes C and P have no front-end sales charges.

Class C maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 0.75%. Class P has no 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 is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

3  Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

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

The Trust has 13 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following 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

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. Investments listed on foreign stock exchanges may be fair valued based on significant events that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign markets. 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 Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of an investment's fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is purchased and sold. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the 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.

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.

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.

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): "Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures" ("ASU 2014-11") to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. ASU 2014-11 includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)" ("ASU 2015-07"). The modification removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective

for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC Topic 815") require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, swaptions and options written entered into by a Fund may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of June 30, 2015 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2015, a Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. The Funds may be sellers of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements). The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the year ended June 30, 2015, except forward foreign currency contracts for UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund for which average volume during the year was lower than year end.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 is as follows:

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.

Notes to financial statements

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. Tables are not presented below for any funds which only hold derivatives which are not subject to offsetting under ASC Topic 210.

B. Restricted securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in each Fund's Portfolio of investments footnotes.

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

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

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

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

E. Forward foreign currency contracts: A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include move-

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

ment 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 a 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 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, a 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 a 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, a 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 a Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date a Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations are segregated in the Fund's 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

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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.

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

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

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2015 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swaps on corporate issues—buy protection" and "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.


94



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of a Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, a Fund's risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, a Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

A Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements 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.

In the normal course of trading activities, the Funds trade and hold certain fair valued derivative contracts that constitute guarantees. Such contracts include written put options, where a Fund would be obligated to purchase securities at specified prices (i.e. the options are exercised by the counterparties). The maximum payout for these


95



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

contracts is limited to the number of put option contracts written and the related strike prices, respectively. The maximum payout for UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund's written put options is $57,615,426 at June 30, 2015.

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.

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


96

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 a Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2015, 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 year ended June 30, 2015, 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. Effective August 3, 2015, for purchases of shares on or after that date, the redemption fee will be eliminated.

2. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates

The Advisor, a registered investment advisor, provides the Funds with investment management services.

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.

The Advisor may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are reflected as securities lending income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at June 30, 2015 and for the year 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. A 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 Asset Growth Fund, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS Global Allocation 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 a Fund's Portfolio of investments. In addition, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS Global Allocation Fund received US government agency securities as collateral with a market

7. Federal income taxes

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

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after December 22, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. These carryforwards are available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of future realized capital gains. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses. At June 30, 2015, the Funds had no post-enactment net capital losses.

At June 30, 2015, the following Funds had pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

of June 30, 2015, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. It is each Fund's policy to record any significant foreign tax exposures in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, gains on certain securities held in certain foreign countries may be subject to taxes that will be paid by the Funds.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

8. Line of credit

The Trust has entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to provide a $50 million committed line of credit to the Funds ("Committed Credit Facility") to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of each Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Interest on amounts borrowed is calculated based on the prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowing. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, each Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the Funds in the Committed Credit Facility. There were no borrowings from the Committed Credit Facility outstanding as of or during the year ended June 30, 2015.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (four of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2015, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund at June 30, 2015, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), held on June 4 and 5, 2015 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on May 26, 2015, June 4, 2015 and June 5, 2015, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services.

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

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


108



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

After analyzing the services provided by the Advisor to each Fund, both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the impact of these services on investment performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each Fund were consistent with the operational requirements of each Fund, and met the needs of the Fund's shareholders.

Performance.

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

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

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund's weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was attributable to its corporate credit exposure in both investment grade and high yield debt, where overall hedging strategies and security selection within the energy sector detracted from results. The Advisor also noted that the Fund's net short duration positioning was not rewarded as yield generally declined over the period. The Advisor did note that the Fund continued to deliver returns with minimal correlation to traditional fixed income markets, as well as many of its unconstrained fixed income peer funds.

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

Fund fees and expenses.

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


109



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

each Fund and noted that each Fund had total expenses that were comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group, except for UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund.

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

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund. It was noted that the actual management fee of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group. The Board noted that while the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund's actual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's total expenses were less than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, resulting in the total cost to investors being very competitive. The Advisor also noted that the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund was included in a brand new Lipper peer group category. The Advisor stated that as the new category matures, the rankings of the Fund will become more conclusive.

The Advisor next addressed the management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund. The Advisor noted that while the contractual management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund compared very favorable to its Lipper peers with respect to its actual management fee and total expenses. The UBS Core Plus Bond Fund placed in the first quintile of its Lipper expense group for both its actual management fee and total expenses.

The Board next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund were each higher than the medians in its Lipper expense group. The Advisor noted that a new fee waiver and expense cap arrangement was approved for the Fund effective March 27, 2015, that provides for a higher level of fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Advisor. The Advisor reported that under this new arrangement, the actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund are each expected to be lower than the medians of the Lipper expense group.

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

Costs and profitability.

The Board considered the costs of providing services to the Funds and the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates by reviewing the profitability analysis provided by the Advisor, including information about its fee revenues and expenses. The Board reviewed the profitability of each Fund to the Advisor and its affiliates, and the compensation that was received for providing services to each Fund. The profitability analysis, which provided


110



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

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

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

Economies of scale.

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

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

President's letter

August 14, 2015

Dear Shareholder,

In my last letter, I wrote about the building forward momentum of the US economy against a backdrop of economic weakness outside the United States. Since I last wrote to you, the rise of two economic themes has begun to cast a shadow on the global growth story. The first of these, the continuing Greek debt crisis, appears to be on the road to resolution after an agreement was reached in July between the Greek government and its creditors. Although the risk of Greece's exit from the eurozone is somewhat reduced, substantial political and economic challenges remain. While the news of an agreement has brought relief to global markets, it is disconcerting to consider that the future of the European project has not been in such peril since the introduction of the euro in 1999.

Turning to a development that is decidedly less settled, Chinese equity markets have seen some spectacular declines in recent months, raising questions about the durability of the world's second-largest economy. The Shanghai composite index hit a high of 5,166 on June 12, before falling 30% in just three weeks. Taken together, over $3 trillion of value has been wiped away from the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges in a matter of weeks. China's economy grew at its slowest pace since 1990 last year, and early indicators suggest that the economy has weakened further so far into 2015. While investor confidence in China has been understandably shaken, it remains to be seen what effect these headwinds may have outside of the country.

In this global investment landscape of debt crises and shaken confidence, partnering with a knowledgeable asset manager, such as UBS Global Asset Management, can help investors avoid potential pitfalls on the path to reaching their long-term financial goals. As we continue to review the UBS family of funds with an eye toward an ever-changing investment landscape, we remain committed to providing a diverse range of solutions that can be used to create a comprehensive investment plan. Core funds—such as UBS US Large Cap Equity Fund—are the foundation on which many investors build their portfolios. Driven by fundamental research and long-term perspective, these funds used disciplined approaches that time and experience have shown can lead to successful outcomes, despite shorter-term market fluctuations and shocks.

Furthermore, we believe that flexible investment solutions can strengthen an investment plan against market shocks and declines. In this spirit, UBS Global Asset Management provides flexibly managed funds to help create well-balanced, globally diversified portfolios. In our view, flexible funds that may be less correlated to market trends and have multiple sources of revenue are an important component of a comprehensive investment plan. Many of the funds in the UBS family—such as UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund—are designed to achieve consistent returns with less reliance on favorable market conditions. When included in a comprehensive investment plan, these funds act as ballast during volatile market conditions and may have the effect of smoothing a portfolio's performance over time. As we have seen in the first half of 2015, market shocks can take any number of forms and can originate in any corner of the world. In today's market environment, we believe it is crucial that investors diversify their holdings within the context of a carefully considered plan. When combined in the context of such a plan, UBS Global Asset Management's foundational and flexible funds can assist investors in obtaining peace of mind while looking toward the future.

President's letter

In my correspondence over the years, I have written at considerable length about the importance of having a sound investment plan. Creating an investment plan with a knowledgeable financial advisor is an opportunity to envision the future that you would like to have, while being cognizant of the potential challenges that lie ahead. At UBS Global Asset Management, we believe that in managing our funds we create more than investment returns: we help our clients achieve their goals. As we continue to evolve our funds to provide stable returns in a variety of market conditions, we rely on our firm's client-oriented culture to guide everything we do. With over 30 years of experience in active investment management, UBS Global Asset Management is ready to serve you with our family of funds and knowledgeable professionals as we look toward the future, a future we create together.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver

The markets in review

Global growth generally improves

Growth in the US fluctuated during the reporting period. The US Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") expanded at a 4.3% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the third quarter of 2014. GDP growth then moderated to 2.1% during the fourth quarter and 0.6% for the first quarter of 2015, partially due to severe winter weather in parts of the country. However, the economy then improved, as the Commerce Department's initial estimate for second quarter GDP was 2.3%.1

The US Federal Reserve Board largely maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the reporting period. The central bank continued to hold the fed 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.) However, at the Fed's meeting in October 2014, it said that it had concluded its asset purchase program, also known as quantitative easing. At its March 2015 meeting, the Fed said that it "... anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate when it has seen further improvement in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2% objective over the medium term." Finally, at the central bank's meeting that concluded in June 2015, the Fed said that it "...currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run."

In terms of the global economy, the International Monetary Fund's ("IMF") July 2015 World Economic Outlook Update, released after the reporting period ended, said "A setback to activity in the first quarter of 2015, mostly in North America, has resulted in a small downward revision to global growth for 2015 relative to the April 2015 World Economic Outlook. Nevertheless, the underlying drivers for a gradual acceleration in economic activity in advanced economies—easy financial conditions, more neutral fiscal policy in the euro area, lower fuel prices, and improving confidence and labor market conditions—remain intact." The IMF projects that 2015 growth in the eurozone will be 1.5%, versus 0.8% in 2014. Japan's economy is expected to expand 0.8% in 2015, an improvement from the 0.1% contraction in 2014. In contrast, the IMF sees growth in emerging market countries decelerating in 2015, with GDP of 4.2% compared to 4.6% in 2014.

US equities post superior results

While it experienced several setbacks, the US equity market generated solid results during the reporting period. Investor sentiment was challenged at times given some mixed global economic data and corporate profit figures, as well as numerous geopolitical issues. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 7.42% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015. In contrast, international equities produced weak results, as they were dragged down by growth concerns, fluctuating oil prices and, most recently, the escalating crisis in Greece. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 fell 4.22% during the period. Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 declined 5.12% over the same period.

1  Based on the Commerce Department's initial estimate announced on July 30, 2015, after the reporting period had ended.

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

3  The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

4  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of different emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Basin. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") gained 8.46% (Class A shares gained 2.53% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares gained 8.76%. The Fund's benchmark, the Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "Index"), returned 0.02% 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 7; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund generated a positive return and outperformed the Index during the 12 months ended June 30, 2015. The Fund invested in three distinct investment "sleeves" during the reporting period: US fundamental long-short, global equity opportunity long-short and global equity long-short. All three sleeves contributed to the Fund's performance during the reporting period.

During the 12-month period, the sleeves in which the Fund invests used derivative instruments for efficient portfolio and risk management purposes. Currency forwards were used to hedge the Fund's currency exposure. Swaps were used on individual stocks to gain exposure to 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 position in Chimerix, a biopharmaceutical company that develops antiviral therapeutics; Freescale Semiconductor, a producer of embedded processing semiconductors and related solutions; and Hospira, a pharmaceutical and medication delivery company. Hospira was up strongly in early February following a take-over bid by Pfizer. The Fund no longer holds Freescale Semiconductor and Hospira.

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

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

  – The sleeve's long positions in HCA, Aetna and Anthem added the most value during the reporting period. HCA operates hospitals in the US and the UK, while Aetna and Anthem are providers of health care benefits.

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

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

UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund

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

  – The sleeve's short positions in energy companies Pacific Rubiales Energy, a firm that explores, develops and produces oil, and Athabasca Oil Corp., a developer of oil sands in Canada, added the most value. A former long position in Frontline, an owner of a fleet of large crude carriers, contributed to results as well.

  – 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, Italy and the UK 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 Micron, a producer of semiconductor devices, and Hertz, an operator of car and equipment rental centers, detracted from performance. A short position in Electronic Arts, a developer and distributor of branded interactive entertainment software, was negative for results as well.

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

•  Several positions in the global 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 Royal Dutch Shell, an oil company, were the largest individual detractors from results. We no longer hold Royal Dutch Shell.

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

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

•  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 position in Lightstream Resources was sold before the end of the reporting period.

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

  – In terms of countries, the sleeve's allocations to Turkey, France 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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") gained 7.14% (Class A shares returned 1.26% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares advanced 7.32%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) (the "Index") returned 1.43%. (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 26; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a positive absolute return and significantly outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection. Sector allocation was also beneficial, albeit to a lesser extent.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

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

•  NXP Semiconductors is a leading semiconductor chip manufacturer headquartered in the Netherlands. Its share price rose sharply during the reporting period and it was the leading contributor to the Fund's performance. The company's Near Field Communication (NFC) chip enables smartphones and other devices to establish radio communication with each other. During the reporting period, Apple introduced its extremely successful iPhone 6 with Apple Pay that uses NXP Semiconductors' NFC technology.

•  Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is a US-based biopharmaceutical company that specializes in RNAi therapeutics and gene silencing technology. A number of developments helped its shares rally during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

•  Eli Lilly and Co. is an American global pharmaceutical company. As was the case with Alnylam Pharmaceutical, it benefited from the development of several new drugs that have helped to lift its share price.

•  UnitedHealth Group is a diversified managed health care company headquartered in the US. The company offers a spectrum of products and services through two operating businesses: UnitedHealthcare and Optum. Its shares rallied as the Supreme Court upheld key provisions associated with the Affordable Care Act. This eliminated an overhang on the stock and should help the company as it benefits by having more patients in the population.

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

What didn't work

•  Several individual stocks had a negative impact on performance.

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


24



UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund

•  Premier Oil saw its share price decline sharply, and it was the largest detractor from the Fund performance during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

•  Statoil is a multinational oil and gas company headquartered in Norway. It is a fully integrated petroleum company with operations in 36 countries. Its shares were also negatively impacted by falling oil prices, which subsequently resulted in Statoil canceling a number of projects.

•  Schneider Electric is a European multinational corporation that specializes in electricity distribution and automation management. It also produces installation components for energy management. Its shares declined during the reporting period given concerns about the overall European economy. Nevertheless, we believe the company is extremely well-positioned.

•  Teck Resources is a Canadian company that primarily mines metallurgical coal that is used for steel production. It was hurt by weakening steel production given overcapacity and moderating demand from China.

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

Portfolio highlights

•  Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is a US-based 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 products, many of which received promising results in clinical tests during the reporting period. One such drug seeks to diminish and control the production of cholesterol in the liver.

•  Chimerix is a development-stage biotechnology company advancing an antiviral treatment for double-stranded DNA viruses. The first indication is to treat cytomegalovirus in adult stem cell transplant patients, with data coming in 2015 and a handful of additional indications to follow. We believe the drug has greater market potential than Wall Street is currently recognizing. The use of the drug to treat Ebola could result in stockpiling and/or more rapid regulatory approval timelines to facilitate treatment of patients.

•  Premier Oil is an independent UK oil company with gas and oil interests in the UK, Asia and Africa. The company's shares were negatively impacted by the overall decline in oil prices during the reporting period. We continue to believe the company is well-positioned.

•  Micron Technology is one the largest manufacturers of chip memory in the world. Its shares came under pressure, as PC demand was weaker than expected. However, Micron Technology continues to generate positive cash flow, and we believe the company is structurally well-positioned and that our investment thesis remains intact.

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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 8.33% (Class A shares returned 2.36% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 8.55%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 7.37% 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 35; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  An overweight to the health care sector, along with strong stock selection within the sector, made a significant contribution to Fund performance. While health care was the best-performing sector in the benchmark index, the Fund benefitted from holding several names in particular.

  – Shares of Hospira, Inc. were up 70% during the reporting period. The generic drug company, which provides injectables and infusion technologies, saw its share price rally after Pfizer announced plans to acquire Hospira at a significant premium. We sold the position after that announcement, as the stock reached what we consider fair value.

  – Impax Laboratories was a top contributor to relative returns for the 12-month period. The generic drug company has been attempting to develop a branded business for several years. The news that the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) had approved the company's first branded drug RYTARY, an extended-release capsule for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, led the stock to trade higher.

  – Chimerix made a strong contribution to Fund performance. The development-stage biotech company boasts a promising drug pipeline that includes an antiviral treatment recently used to treat Ebola.

•  The Fund's information technology stocks, particularly the semiconductor names, were positive for performance during the reporting period.

  – Freescale Semiconductor was the Fund's top-performing stock during the 12 months. Shares climbed 80% after the company reported strong fourth quarter earnings and a revenue outlook that exceeded market expectations. News of Freescale's acquisition by NXP Semiconductors gave the stock an additional boost, as the deal will create the largest supplier of microchips in the automotive industry. We realized our investment thesis and sold the stock before the end of the period.

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


32



UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

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

  – Shares of Pacific DataVision rose 111% during the 12-month period. Pacific DataVision 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's position was contingent on the Sprint spectrum acquisition closing and receiving FCC approval. Now that those milestones have passed, an initial public offering (IPO) is imminent.

•  The Fund benefited from the decision not to hold utilities stocks. The sector posted negative returns during the 12 months, which helped the Fund's relative performance.

What didn't work

•  Several energy stocks detracted from Fund returns during the 12 months. We believe the market is overreacting to the decline in oil prices, as we have identified attractive opportunities within the exploration and production (E&P) sector.

  – Shares of Noble Corporation declined 43% for the 12-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.

  – EOG Resources saw its share price struggle as a result of oil price volatility. We remain confident in our long-term thesis and consider EOG Resources best of breed among E&P companies.

  – McDermott International also detracted from relative returns. The company 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.

•  Several individual stock positions in various industries made a negative contribution to the Fund's returns. Industry weightings did not have any noteworthy negative effects.

  – Micron Technology was a top detractor, declining 43% during the period. The semiconductor company indicated an outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter that was worse than expected. While Micron is wrestling with increased costs for product line transitions, we believe the company and its industry are better positioned than at any time in the past. We maintain high conviction in our thesis for Micron, and continue to hold the position.

  – Shares of Hertz Global Holdings traded lower during the 12-month period. The car rental company's stock price declined following accounting issues and recent board changes. Given consolidation within the rental car industry, we believe Hertz can realize cost efficiencies and better buying and selling of car inventory, which should lead to margin improvement over the long run.

Portfolio highlights

•  Mondelez International manufactures and markets snack food and beverages including cookies, crackers, chocolate, gum, candy, coffee, powdered beverages, and various cheese and grocery products. We believe Mondelez 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.


33



UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

•  Yum! Brands is the leading multi-concept global restaurant company. Its three main concepts are KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Our research indicates that the market is undervaluing the long-term value of the KFC and Pizza Hut franchises in China. Unit growth in China has accelerated in recent years as a result of prior investment in infrastructure. This should allow for more rapid growth in smaller cities. We expect Yum! to continue to grow earnings per share by double digits for the next several years through a combination of strong international growth and return of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

•  Laboratory Corp. of America is a global independent clinical laboratory company. It has significantly underperformed the S&P 500 Index due to a weak utilization environment combined with overhang from government reimbursement pressures. Longer-term, we believe national labs such as Laboratory Corp. stand to grow market share at the expense of higher-cost independent and hospital-owned labs. This trend, combined with the company's cost reduction efforts, should allow Laboratory Corp. to return to operating margins near 20%.

•  Philip Morris is a leading player in the global cigarette and tobacco market. We believe the market underappreciates the persistence and predictability of the company's cash flows and its returns to shareholders. Philip Morris's regulatory and consumption risk is well-diversified across 180 markets around the globe. While governments have an interest in reducing tobacco consumption, they have become reliant on steady tobacco tax flows. Many governments are working with Philip Morris to encourage steady but slow declines in consumption while growing taxation and price revenues.

•  Praxair produces, sells and distributes atmospheric, process and specialty gases, as well as surface coatings. We believe the company has a high-quality franchise with local scale and density-based competitive advantages in attractive markets such as North America and Brazil. Praxair's strong management team and culture drive best-in-class operating efficiency and strategic capital deployment. In addition, the company's stable cash flow profile allows Praxair to issue large amounts of debt cheaply, creating capital deployment arbitrage opportunities.

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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") returned 8.33% (Class A shares returned 2.39% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 8.65%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 7.37% 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 48; 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

•  Strong stock selection within the health care sector made a significant contribution to Fund performance.

  – Hospira, Inc. was the Fund's top-performing stock during the reporting period. The generic drug company, which provides injectables and infusion technologies, saw its share price rise 70% after Pfizer announced plans to acquire Hospira at a significant premium. We sold the position after that announcement, as the stock reached what we consider fair value.

  – Alnylam was a top contributor during the 12 months. The biotech company, which specializes in RNAi therapeutics, saw its stock price climb steadily based on positive earnings estimate revision activity and favorable news on both the clinical trial and intellectual property front.

  – The stock price of Bluebird Bio soared on the company's announcement that its experimental gene therapy had ended the need for regular blood transfusions in four patients with beta thalassemia major, an inherited blood disorder.

  – Chimerix made a strong contribution to Fund performance. The development-stage biotech company boasts a promising drug pipeline that includes an antiviral treatment recently used to treat Ebola.

•  The Fund's information technology stocks, particularly the semiconductor names, were positive for performance during the reporting period.

  – Shares of Freescale Semiconductor climbed 80% after the company reported strong fourth quarter earnings and a revenue outlook that exceeded market expectations. News of Freescale's acquisition by NXP Semiconductors gave the stock an additional boost, as the deal will create the largest supplier of microchips in the automotive industry. We realized our investment thesis and sold the stock after the end of the reporting period.

•  The Fund benefited from underweight positions in the energy and industrials sectors. Falling oil prices led the energy sector to post the worst performance in the benchmark index during the 12 months. Minimizing exposure to these stocks helped the Fund's relative performance.

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


45



UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

What didn't work

•  The few energy stocks we did hold detracted from Fund returns during the 12 months. We have identified attractive opportunities within the exploration and production (E&P) sector that we believe will add value despite the decline in energy prices.

  – EOG Resources saw its share price struggle as a result of oil price volatility. We remain confident in our long-term thesis and consider EOG Resources best of breed among E&P companies.

  – Shares of Noble Corporation declined 43% for the 12-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.

•  Several individual stock positions in various industries made a negative contribution to the Fund's returns.

  – Micron Technology was a top detractor, declining 43% during the period. The semiconductor company indicated an outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter that was worse than expected. While Micron is wrestling with increased costs for product line transitions, we believe the company and its industry are better positioned than at any time in the past. We maintain high conviction in our thesis for Micron and continue to hold the position.

  – The share price of ServiceSource International, which provides business software and services for technology-enabled healthcare and life sciences companies, declined during the period. We believe its shares are undervalued due to near-term pressure on margins from investments in sales headcount growth and a new Software as a Service offering. Fears of weak European technology spending and global macro risk have also hurt the stock. However, we see multiple avenues of growth for ServiceSource and believe the company makes an attractive acquisition target for software or information technology services companies. ServiceSource International was sold prior to the end of the reporting period to fund a more compelling price/value opportunity.

  – Luxury apparel company Ralph Lauren detracted from relative returns after reporting weak results, especially for its outlet business. Ralph Lauren faces additional headwinds from the impact of US dollar appreciation on its foreign revenues. We sold the position because we identified a violation of our investment thesis.

•  Certain sector underweights made a negative contribution to Fund returns. The health care sector was up significantly within the benchmark, and though our stock selection made a positive contribution, the Fund's underweight to the sector as a whole detracted. The Fund's underweight to consumer discretionary stocks also hindered relative returns, as the sector performed strongly during the period.

Portfolio highlights

•  Mondelez International manufactures and markets snack food and beverages including cookies, crackers, chocolate, gum, candy, coffee, powdered beverages, and various cheese and grocery products. We believe Mondelez 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.

•  We believe US Bancorp, a financial services firm, is well-positioned to experience above-peer earnings growth over the next several years as a result of solid revenue growth, strong expense discipline, stable-to-improving


46



UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

credit quality and aggressive capital management. The growth in revenues will likely be driven by a superior business mix that features strong fee-based revenues and solid loan growth accompanied by a fairly stable net interest margin. The company is already Basel III compliant at 8.8% and continues to generate a return on equity (ROE) of greater than 15%.

•  Philip Morris is a leading player in the global cigarette and tobacco market. We believe the market underappreciates the persistence and predictability of the company's cash flows and its returns to shareholders. Philip Morris's regulatory and consumption risk is well-diversified across 180 markets around the globe. While governments have an interest in reducing tobacco consumption, they have become reliant on steady tobacco tax flows. Many governments are working with Philip Morris to encourage steady but slow declines in consumption while growing taxation and price revenues.

•  Digital Realty Trust is a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in technology-related properties. Digital Realty 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 contracts signed at what are now below-market rents expire and are replaced with higher-rent leases. We believe the REIT's discount to the industry's average implied cap rate will narrow in time as investors recognize its ability to generate above-average earnings growth in most economic scenarios.

• We believe credit services firm American Express is in a strong position to take advantage of improving consumer spending volume and credit card loan growth over the next several years. Positive factors include solid global economic growth, improving business travel expenditures, increasing merchant acceptance and increasing share of the underserved market. As a result, American Express should experience strong profitability, earnings growth and cash flow generation, which will be driven by solid revenue growth, improving operating leverage, manageable credit quality and aggressive capital management.

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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 10.61% (Class A shares returned 4.52% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 10.90%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 7.37% 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 56; 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.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  An overweight to the health care sector, along with strong stock selection within the sector, made a significant contribution to Fund performance. While health care was the best-performing sector in the benchmark index, the Fund benefitted from holding several names in particular.

  – Hospira, Inc. was the Fund's top-performing stock during the reporting period. The generic drug company, which provides injectables and infusion technologies, saw its share price rise 70% after Pfizer announced plans to acquire Hospira at a significant premium. We sold the position after that announcement, as the stock reached what we consider fair value.

  – Alnylam was a top contributor during the 12 months. The biotech company, which specializes in RNAi therapeutics, saw its stock price climb steadily based on positive earnings estimate revision activity and favorable news on both the clinical trial and intellectual property front.

  – Chimerix made a strong contribution to Fund performance. The development-stage biotech company boasts a promising drug pipeline that includes an antiviral treatment recently used to treat Ebola. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The stock price of Bluebird Bio soared on the company's announcement that its experimental gene therapy had ended the need for regular blood transfusions in four patients with beta thalassemia major, an inherited blood disorder.

•  The Fund's information technology stocks, particularly the semiconductor names, were positive for performance during the reporting period.

  – Shares of Freescale Semiconductor climbed 80% after the company reported strong fourth quarter earnings and a revenue outlook that exceeded market expectations. News of Freescale's acquisition by NXP Semiconductors gave the stock an additional boost, as the deal will create the largest supplier of microchips in the automotive industry. We realized our investment thesis and sold the stock before the end of the period.

•  The Fund benefited from the decision not to hold utilities stocks. The sector posted negative returns during the 12 months, which helped the Fund's relative performance.

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


53



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

What didn't work

•  Several energy stocks detracted from Fund returns during the 12 months. We believe the market is overreacting to the decline in oil prices, as we have identified attractive opportunities within the exploration and production (E&P) sector.

  – EOG Resources saw its share price struggle as a result of oil price volatility. We remain confident in our long-term thesis and consider EOG Resources best of breed among E&P companies.

  – Shares of Noble Corporation declined 43% for the 12-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.

  – McDermott International also detracted from relative returns. The company 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.

•  Several individual stock positions in various industries made a negative contribution to the Fund's returns. Industry weightings did not have any noteworthy negative effects.

  – Micron Technology was a top detractor, declining 43% during the period. The semiconductor company indicated an outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter that was worse than expected. While Micron is wrestling with increased costs for product line transitions, we believe the company and its industry are better positioned than at any time in the past. We maintain high conviction in our thesis for Micron and continue to hold the position.

  – Shares of Hertz Global Holdings traded lower during the 12-month period. The car rental company's stock price declined following accounting issues and recent board changes. Given consolidation within the rental car industry, we believe Hertz can realize cost efficiencies and better buying and selling of car inventory, which should lead to margin improvement over the long run.

Portfolio highlights

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

•  Yum! Brands is the leading multi-concept global restaurant company. Its three main concepts are KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Our research indicates that the market is undervaluing the long-term value of the KFC and Pizza Hut franchises in China. Unit growth in China has accelerated in recent years as a result of prior investment in infrastructure. This should allow for more rapid growth in smaller cities. We expect Yum! to continue to grow earnings per share by double digits for the next several years through a combination of strong international growth and return of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

•  Philip Morris is a leading player in the global cigarette and tobacco market. We believe the market underappreciates the persistence and predictability of the company's cash flows and its returns to shareholders. Philip Morris's regulatory and consumption risk is well-diversified across 180 markets around the globe. While govern-


54



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

ments have an interest in reducing tobacco consumption, they have become reliant on steady tobacco tax flows. Many governments are working with Philip Morris to encourage steady but slow declines in consumption while growing taxation and price revenues.

•  Pepsico is a worldwide beverage, snack and food business with 22 brands, each worth $1 billion. The stock has underperformed the market on a relative basis as carbonated beverage volume has declined. We believe Pepsico will grow the share of its revenue from foods, driven by its powerful brands and innovations in the salty snacks category. In addition, the company is emphasizing non-carbonated beverages such as energy drinks and bottled waters.

•  Chimerix is a biotechnology company that is advancing an antiviral treatment for double-stranded DNA viruses. The product is being tested for treating cytomegalovirus in adult stem cell transplant patients, with data due to be released in mid-2015. A handful of additional indications for the treatment should follow. We believe the drug has greater market potential than Wall Street currently recognizes. The recent use of the drug to treat Ebola could result in stockpiling and/or more rapid regulatory approval timelines to facilitate treatment of patients.

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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned 15.61% (Class A shares returned 9.25% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 15.93%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned 12.34% 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 65; 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 a significant contribution to Fund returns during the 12 months ended June 30, 2015. Though the Fund was slightly underweight to the biotechnology sector, the biotech names that we held posted strong performance.

  – Receptos, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, was one of the Fund's top performers during the 12-month period. The company is focused on the development of a drug with potential use for multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The stock traded higher as investor optimism increased around the potential for Receptos to partner its lead program or be acquired by a large pharmaceutical company.

  – The Fund's position in Bluebird Bio made a strong contribution to relative returns. The biotechnology company focuses on gene therapy. The stock price was up after bluebird reported data showing that its LentiGlobin product was able to free certain patients from monthly blood transfusions. We sold the stock after the strong period of outperformance.

  – DexCom is a leading provider of continuous glucose monitoring systems. The company saw its shares trade higher during the reporting period, based on the potential for continuous glucose monitoring to become the standard of care for Type 1 diabetics. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Shares of Exact Sciences, a molecular diagnostics company, rose after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services finalized its National Coverage Decision and issued higher-than-expected preliminary reimbursement for Cologuard, the company's non-invasive stool-based DNA screening assay.

•  Stock selection in the information technology sector also drove the Fund's outperformance. An overweight to the software sector, as well as the specific names we held, made positive contributions to relative returns.

  – Imperva was the Fund's top performer during the 12 months. The company develops protection software and services for databases and business applications. Imperva's shares rose based on investor confidence that the demand for data security is increasing while the industry's sales cycles are becoming more predictable. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – A position in Proofpoint, a global provider of an integrated suite of on-demand protection solutions, made a positive contribution to relative returns. Investors appreciate the company's large market opportunity, as well as the continuing tailwind from a benign competitive landscape. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

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


62



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

  – Infoblox, a manufacturer of a device that allows users to create and manage dynamic computer networks, saw its shares rise during the 12 months. The company reported fiscal second quarter revenue and earnings that beat consensus expectations. Infoblox has continued to improve sales execution over the last few quarters.

•  Hardware manufacturer Fitbit had a successful initial public offering in June of 2015, and the Fund participated in the gains. The maker of wearable fitness devices sees multiple avenues for growth that include introducing new products, adding new features and services, expanding brand awareness, driving international sales, and penetrating the corporate wellness market. We sold the Fund's position in Fitbit at the end of the reporting period.

What didn't work

•  Several individual positions made a negative contribution to Fund returns during the 12 months.

  – Forex Capital Markets (FXCM) was the largest detractor in the Fund during the reporting period. The provider of foreign exchange trading services underperformed after a sharp move in the Swiss exchange rate generated a negative equity balance owed to the company by its clients. In order to satisfy regulatory capital requirements and stabilize its business, FXCM entered into a $300 million financing agreement with Leucadia National Corporation. The market viewed the terms as unfavorable to equity shareholders, and the stock price declined. We sold our position in FXCM prior to the end of the reporting period.

  – The Fund's position in Constellium detracted from relative returns. The company is a downstream aluminum producer whose shares fell based on investor concern over a more challenging environment for the company's aerospace and transportation segment.

  – Shares of Abercrombie & Fitch, a specialty retailer of casual apparel for men, women and kids, underperformed for the 12-month period. The company has been hurt due to slowing same-store sales, a general slowdown in teen retailing and a pushback on its traditional logoed apparel. We believe the company is near an inflection point in inventories and that same-store sales growth is poised to rebound. Furthermore, given the overly pessimistic expectations, we believe valuations are attractive.

  – Del Frisco's Restaurant Group saw its shares fall on investor concern that two underperforming locations will weigh on same-store sales results for longer than originally anticipated. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  An overweight to the energy sector detracted from relative performance.

  – We held several stocks in the energy sector during the reporting period, such as Bonanza Creek Energy and Kodiak Oil & Gas. These stocks underperformed during the period based on what we believe is an overreaction to falling oil prices. Bonanza Creek Energy was sold prior to the end of the reporting period, as we sought to reduce our exposure to the energy sector. Kodiak Oil & Gas was acquired by Whiting Petroleum during the period in a transaction in which we received both cash and shares. In June, prior to the end of the reporting period, we sold our remaining position in Whiting petroleum to reduce our exposure to the energy sector.

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.


63



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

•  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.

•  DexCom is the leader in the move to switch diabetic patients from episodic finger-stick measurements to continuous glucose sensors. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides alerts, alarms and trend information to help people better manage their diabetes. There are 400 million people worldwide with diabetes, and over 29 million in the US alone. The market is estimated to grow to approximately 600 million people by 2030. We believe there is considerable room for growth, as CGM is used by less than 10% of Type 1 diabetics and less than 1% of Type 2 diabetics.

•  Del Frisco's Restaurant Group develops, owns and operates steakhouse restaurants in the US. It is one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in the category, with over 40 locations and the potential to add five per year. We believe the company is well-positioned to continue adding restaurants while also growing same-store sales through high average checks, private dining and remodeling to increase capacity in existing locations. Del Frisco's is trading at a level that we believe does not reflect its future potential growth, and we remain overweight in the stock.

Net expenses reflect fee waivers, as supplemented on March 27, 2015 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, 2016, do not exceed 1.24% for Class A shares, 1.99% for Class C shares and 0.99% 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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

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

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

The following two graphs depict the performance of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund Class A and Class P versus the Russell 2000 Growth Index over the 10 years ended June 30, 2015. The performance of Class C shares will vary based upon the different class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption.

Explanation of expense disclosure

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.

Actual expenses

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

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

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

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.

1  For Class A, the maximum sales charge is 5.50%. Classes C and P have no front-end sales charges. For Class A, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the shares' offering price or the net asset value at the time of sales by the shareholder, whichever is less, is charged on sales of shares on original purchases of $1,000,000 or more that were not subject to a front-end sales charge made within one year of the purchase date. Class C maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Class 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 is 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 prospectus. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holdings periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

3  Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

Organization and significant accounting policies

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

The Trust has 13 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following six funds are covered in this report: UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, 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.

Under certain circumstances, shareholders of the Funds may receive payment for redemptions in securities rather than in cash.

On January 5, 2015, a shareholder of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund,which is a pension plan affiliated with the Advisor, received redemption proceeds of $71,312,188, consisting of portfolio securities valued at $70,260,945 and cash of $1,051,243. The Fund realized a gain of $18,810,041 as a result of the redemption, which is included in the Net realized gain (loss) on: Investments in unaffiliated issuers, within the Statement of operations.

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


100



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, a Fund's net asset value per share will be calculated as of the time trading was halted.

Each Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Funds normally obtain market values for their investments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized "evaluation" systems that derive values based on comparable investments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio investments. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the investment or similar investments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Investments traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available 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. Investments listed on foreign stock exchanges may be fair valued based on significant events that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign markets. 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 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


101



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

quoted in foreign currencies are valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Funds' custodian.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.

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

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

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.

Notes to financial statements

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): "Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures" ("ASU 2014-11") to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. ASU 2014-11 includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)" ("ASU 2015-07"). The modification removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC Topic 815") require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Forward foreign currency contracts entered into by a Fund may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of June 30, 2015 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2015, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the year ended June 30, 2015.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 is as follows:

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. Tables are not presented below for any funds which only hold derivatives which are not subject to offsetting under ASC Topic 210.

B. Restricted securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in each Fund's Portfolio of investments footnotes.

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

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

D. Foreign currency translation: The Funds use the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each


105



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

Fund's fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

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

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

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

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

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


106



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 a 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: 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, a 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 a 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 a 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 a 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


107



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

In the normal course of trading activities, the Funds trade and hold certain fair valued derivative contracts that constitute guarantees. Such contracts include written put options, where a Fund would be obligated to purchase securities at specified prices (i.e. the options are exercised by the counterparties). The maximum payout for UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund's written put options is $14,141,000 at June 30, 2015.

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 year ended June 30, 2015.

J. Dividends and distributions: It is each Fund's policy to distribute its respective net investment income and net capital gains, if any, annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-distribution date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

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

Small capitalization ("small cap") companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization ("large cap") companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of


108



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 year ended June 30, 2015, 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. Effective August 3, 2015, for purchases of shares on or after that date, the redemption fee will be eliminated.

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:

For U.S. Small Cap Growth, the Advisor has agreed to waive its fees and/or 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 the Fund's operating expenses do not exceed the amounts above. Prior to March 27, 2015, the fees were not to exceed 1.40% for Class A shares, 2.15% for Class C shares and 1.15% for Class P shares

Each Fund, except for UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, will reimburse the Advisor for expenses it waives or reimburses for a period of three years following such expense waivers or reimbursements, provided that the reimbursement by a Fund of the Advisor will not cause the total operating expense ratio to exceed the contractual limit as then may be in effect for the Fund. The expenses waived or reimbursed for the year ended June 30, 2015 are subject to repayment through June 30, 2018.

The Funds may invest in certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by the Advisor. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the year ended June 30, 2015 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.

Amounts relating to those investments at June 30, 2015 and for the year ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Under normal conditions, the Funds invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. UBS Global AM acts as managing member and receives a management fee from Private Money Market payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.10% of Private Money Market's average daily members' equity, minus the aggregate operating expenses of, and incurred by, Private Money Market during each such related month, not including investment expenses (including brokerage commissions, taxes, interest charges and other costs with respect to transactions in securities) and extraordinary expenses including litigation expenses, if any. The Advisor may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are reflected as securities lending income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at June 30, 2015 and for the year 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.

UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund loaned securities to certain qualified broker dealers, with the Funds' custodian acting as the Funds' lending agent. Cash collateral received is invested in Private Money Market, which is included in the Fund's Portfolio of investments. The value of loaned securities and related collateral at June 30, 2015 were as follows:

7. Federal income taxes

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

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 were as follows:

Notes to financial statements

Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains/losses under US GAAP and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences between book and tax basis reporting for the current fiscal year have been identified and appropriately reclassified. Reclassifications for the year ended June 30, 2015 were as follows:

Fund   Undistributed
net investment
income
  Accumulated
net realized
gain/(loss)
  Beneficial

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. These carryforwards are available as a reduction, to the extent provided in regulations, of future realized capital gains. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

At June 30, 2015, 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:

To the extent that such losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed.

ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes—Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded, as of June 30, 2015, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. It is each Fund's policy to record any significant foreign tax exposures in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, gains on certain securities held in certain foreign countries may be subject to taxes that will be paid by the Funds.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2015, 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 year ended June 30, 2015.

10. Subsequent event

On July 6, 2015, the Board of Trustees of The UBS Funds determined that it is in the best interests of the UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") and its shareholders to liquidate and dissolve the Fund pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation (the "Plan"). The Plan provides that: (a) all the Fund's assets be converted into cash or cash equivalents or be otherwise liquidated and (b) the Fund distribute pro rata to its shareholders all of its existing assets, in a complete liquidation of the Fund. The liquidation is expected to be completed on or about September 24, 2015 (the "Liquidation Date"). On the Liquidation Date, all shareholders will have their accounts liquidated and the proceeds will be delivered to them.

In connection with the liquidation, the Board approved, effective July 27, 2015, 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 July 27, 2015, 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.

Also in connection with the liquidation, effective July 27, 2015, (a) the investment advisory fee of 1.25% of average net assets is waived; (b) the annual Rule 12b-1 distribution fee of 0.75% of average net assets that is charged to the shareholders of Class C shares is waived; (c) until August 3, 2015, after when the redemption fee is eliminated, the 1.00% redemption fee that is charged on sales or exchanges of any Class of shares of the Fund less than 30 days after purchase is waived; and (d) all contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) assessed on redemptions that are charged on Class A shares (on purchases of $1,000,000 or more) and Class C shares are eliminated. The annual service fee of 0.25% of average net assets that is charged on Class A shares and Class C shares will not be waived. With respect to exchanges of shares of the Fund for shares of another UBS Family Fund, the length of time you held your shares of the Fund will still be considered when determining whether you must pay a CDSC when you sell the shares of the UBS Family Fund acquired in the exchange.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (six of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2015, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of cash flows of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund and UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund at June 30, 2015, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the statements of cash flows of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund and UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), held on June 4 and 5, 2015 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on May 26, 2015, June 4, 2015 and June 5, 2015, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

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

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services.

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

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

(unaudited)

After analyzing the services provided by the Advisor to each Fund, both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the impact of these services on investment performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each Fund were consistent with the operational requirements of each Fund, and met the needs of the Fund's shareholders.

Performance.

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

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

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund's weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was attributable to its corporate credit exposure in both investment grade and high yield debt, where overall hedging strategies and security selection within the energy sector detracted from results. The Advisor also noted that the Fund's net short duration positioning was not rewarded as yield generally declined over the period. The Advisor did note that the Fund continued to deliver returns with minimal correlation to traditional fixed income markets, as well as many of its unconstrained fixed income peer funds.

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

Fund Fees and Expenses.

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


123



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

each Fund and noted that each Fund had total expenses that were comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group, except for UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund.

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

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund. It was noted that the actual management fee of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group. The Board noted that while the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund's actual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's total expenses were less than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, resulting in the total cost to investors being very competitive. The Advisor also noted that the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund was included in a brand new Lipper peer group category. The Advisor stated that as the new category matures, the rankings of the Fund will become more conclusive.

The Advisor next addressed the management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund. The Advisor noted that while the contractual management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund compared very favorably to its Lipper peers with respect to its actual management fee and total expenses. The UBS Core Plus Bond Fund placed in the first quintile of its Lipper expense group for both its actual management fee and total expenses.

The Board next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund were each higher than the medians in its Lipper expense group. The Advisor noted that a new fee waiver and expense cap arrangement was approved for the Fund effective March 27, 2015, that provides for a higher level of fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Advisor. The Advisor reported that under this new arrangement, the actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund are each expected to be lower than the medians of the Lipper expense group.

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

Costs and Profitability.

The Board considered the costs of providing services to the Funds and the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates by reviewing the profitability analysis provided by the Advisor, including information about its fee revenues and expenses. The Board reviewed the profitability of each Fund to the Advisor and its affiliates, and the compensation that was received for providing services to each Fund. The profitability analysis, which provided


124



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

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

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

Economies of Scale.

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

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

President's letter

August 14, 2015

Dear Shareholder,

In my last letter, I wrote about the building forward momentum of the US economy against a backdrop of economic weakness outside the United States. Since I last wrote to you, the rise of two economic themes has begun to cast a shadow on the global growth story. The first of these, the continuing Greek debt crisis, appears to be on the road to resolution after an agreement was reached in July between the Greek government and its creditors. Although the risk of Greece's exit from the eurozone is somewhat reduced, substantial political and economic challenges remain. While the news of an agreement has brought relief to global markets, it is disconcerting to consider that the future of the European project has not been in such peril since the introduction of the euro in 1999.

Turning to a development that is decidedly less settled, Chinese equity markets have seen some spectacular declines in recent months, raising questions about the durability of the world's second-largest economy. The Shanghai composite index hit a high of 5,166 on June 12, before falling 30% in just three weeks. Taken together, over $3 trillion of value has been wiped away from the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges in a matter of weeks. China's economy grew at its slowest pace since 1990 last year, and early indicators suggest that the economy has weakened further so far into 2015. While investor confidence in China has been understandably shaken, it remains to be seen what effect these headwinds may have outside of the country.

In this global investment landscape of debt crises and shaken confidence, partnering with a knowledgeable asset manager, such as UBS Global Asset Management, can help investors avoid potential pitfalls on the path to reaching their long-term financial goals. As we continue to review the UBS family of funds with an eye toward an ever-changing investment landscape, we remain committed to providing a diverse range of solutions that can be used to create a comprehensive investment plan. Core funds—such as UBS US Large Cap Equity Fund—are the foundation on which many investors build their portfolios. Driven by fundamental research and long-term perspective, these funds used disciplined approaches that time and experience have shown can lead to successful outcomes, despite shorter-term market fluctuations and shocks.

Furthermore, we believe that flexible investment solutions can strengthen an investment plan against market shocks and declines. In this spirit, UBS Global Asset Management provides flexibly managed funds to help create well-balanced, globally diversified portfolios. In our view, flexible funds that may be less correlated to market trends and have multiple sources of revenue are an important component of a comprehensive investment plan. Many of the funds in the UBS family—such as UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund—are designed to achieve consistent returns with less reliance on favorable market conditions. When included in a comprehensive investment plan, these funds act as ballast during volatile market conditions and may have the effect of smoothing a portfolio's performance over time. As we have seen in the first half of 2015, market shocks can take any number of forms and can originate in any corner of the world. In today's market environment, we believe it is crucial that investors diversify their holdings within the context of a carefully considered plan. When combined in the context of such a plan, UBS Global Asset Management's foundational and flexible funds can assist investors in obtaining peace of mind while looking toward the future.

In my correspondence over the years, I have written at considerable length about the importance of having a sound investment plan. Creating an investment plan with a knowledgeable financial advisor is an opportunity to envision the future that you would like to have, while being cognizant of the potential challenges that lie ahead. At UBS Global Asset Management, we believe that in managing our funds we create more than investment returns: we help our clients achieve their goals. As we continue to evolve our funds to provide stable returns in a variety of market conditions, we rely on our firm's client-oriented culture to guide everything we do. With over 30 years of

The markets in review

Global growth generally improves

Growth in the US fluctuated during the reporting period. The US Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") expanded at a 4.3% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the third quarter of 2014. GDP growth then moderated to 2.1% during the fourth quarter and 0.6% for the first quarter of 2015, partially due to severe winter weather in parts of the country. However, the economy then improved, as the Commerce Department's initial estimate for second quarter GDP was 2.3%.1

The US Federal Reserve Board largely maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the reporting period. The central bank continued to hold the fed 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.) However, at the Fed's meeting in October 2014, it said that it had concluded its asset purchase program, also known as quantitative easing. At its March 2015 meeting, the Fed said that it "anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate when it has seen further improvement in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2% objective over the medium term." Finally, at the central bank's meeting that concluded in June 2015, the Fed said that it "currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run."

In terms of the global economy, the International Monetary Fund's ("IMF") July 2015 World Economic Outlook Update, released after the reporting period ended, said that "a setback to activity in the first quarter of 2015, mostly in North America, has resulted in a small downward revision to global growth for 2015 relative to the April 2015 World Economic Outlook. Nevertheless, the underlying drivers for a gradual acceleration in economic activity in advanced economies—easy financial conditions, more neutral fiscal policy in the euro area, lower fuel prices, and improving confidence and labor market conditions—remain intact." The IMF projects that 2015 growth in the eurozone will be 1.5%, versus 0.8% in 2014. Japan's economy is expected to expand 0.8% in 2015, an improvement from the 0.1% contraction in 2014. In contrast, the IMF sees growth in emerging market countries decelerating in 2015, with GDP of 4.2% compared to 4.6% in 2014.

Mixed returns in the fixed income market

The global fixed income markets experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. This was triggered by incoming economic data, uncertainties surrounding future monetary policy and geopolitical events, including the escalating crisis in Greece. Against this backdrop, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell from 2.53% to 2.35% during the reporting period and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,2 gained 1.86%. A sharp sell-off late in the reporting period pushed the returns of riskier fixed income securities into negative territory for the 12 months ended June 30, 2015. High yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index3 declined 0.52% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),4 fell 1.57%.

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.

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

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

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Fund") gained 1.69% (Class A shares returned -2.86% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 1.84%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 1.86% 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 but modestly underperformed the benchmark, primarily due to duration positioning and exposure to energy-related companies.

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.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Currency positioning was additive to performance. The Fund's exposure to the US dollar against a basket of developed market currencies contributed to performance. At various times during the reporting 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 index appreciated during the period for nine consecutive months and reached a 12-year high against the euro during the reporting period.

•  Yield curve positioning was additive to performance. The Fund was positioned to benefit from a flattening of the yield curve in the first half of the reporting period. (When the yield curve flattens, yields on longer maturity bonds decline more than those of shorter maturity instruments, so that the spread between the two narrows.) This played out during the first half of the reporting period, as shorter-term yields modestly increased as investors started to price in the likelihood of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board ("Fed"), while longer-term yields declined given strong overseas demand.

•  The Fund's securitized exposure was additive to performance. Sector exposure and security selection within commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and agency pass-throughs contributed to performance during the reporting period. The Fund was generally overweight mortgages given strong market technicals (e.g., Fed quantitative easing purchases) that were supportive to spreads. Within CMBS, the Fund favored select AA-rated and A-rated tranches as well as single asset/single borrower (SASB) deals, all of which performed well during the reporting period due to continued improvement in fundamentals.

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

What didn't work:

•  The Fund's allocation to corporate credit detracted from performance. The Fund's allocation to both investment grade and high yield corporate debt was negative for performance, as corporate spreads widened during the reporting period. Security selection in the energy sector also 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.

•  The Fund's overall duration positioning detracted from performance. During the reporting period, the Fund was generally underweight duration relative to the benchmark on the belief that interest rates would rise given an expectation of continued improvement in the US economy. Interest rates, however, fell during the first half of the reporting period due to increasing overseas demand for US Treasuries and a slowdown in the US economic recovery.

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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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.

Portfolio footnotes

1  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $3,632,731 or 11.35% of net assets.

2  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at June 30, 2015.

3  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of June 30, 2015 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 June 30, 2015. 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.

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") declined 0.91% (Class A shares fell 5.34% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares declined 0.68%. For comparison purposes, The BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month Deposit Offered Rate Constant Maturity Index (the "Index") gained 0.24% 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.)

The Fund's negative return during the reporting period was driven by a number of factors, including corporate credit, government-related debt and emerging markets debt. These negatives more than offset the positive impact of the Fund's active currency exposure, interest rate strategies 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. The Fund's active interest rate strategies added to performance during the period. Spread management was overall negative for performance, but some spread products contributed positively. "Spread" is the difference between yields paid on a government bond (such as US Treasuries) and a security of a different quality, but with the same or similar maturity. When spreads widen, it implies that the market is factoring in greater risk of default for the lower rated security; conversely, when spreads tighten, the market is factoring in less risk. Such movements in spreads generally result in changes in market prices for such securities. Currency positioning positively contributed to results during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

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

  – The Fund's exposure to the US dollar against a basket of developed market currencies contributed to performance. At various times during the reporting 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 index appreciated during the period for nine consecutive months and reached a 12-year high against the euro during the reporting period.

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

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

•  Interests rate strategies added to performance during the reporting period.

  – The Fund was generally positioned for higher US interest rates and higher volatility in interest rate markets. The Fund was also at times positioned for higher German bund yields. The Fund favored long exposure to interest rates in New Zealand and Australia.

  – Interest rate strategies contributed to performance, particularly toward the end of the reporting period as US and German interest rates increased rapidly, while interest rate volatility remained elevated.

•  Certain securitized assets and collateralized debt contributed to performance.

  – The Fund's holdings of commercial mortgage-backed securities outperformed other spread products.

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

What didn't work:

•  The Fund's allocation to corporate credit was negative for performance.

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

•  The Fund's allocation to emerging markets debt 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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

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

12  If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index/obligation, 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/obligation.

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/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 or underlying securities comprising the referenced index/obligation.

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

16  Transfers out of Level 3 represent the value at the end of the period. At June 30, 2015, 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 June 30, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") gained 0.30% (Class A shares declined 1.96% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 0.45%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), gained 1.06%, and the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1-17) Index returned 0.78% 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 38; 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 US Treasury futures during the reporting period to adjust its duration positioning. Overall, the use of Treasury futures contributed to performance.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Positioning in several parts of the municipal yield curve was additive for performance. The Fund's underweight to the five-year portion of the municipal curve was beneficial given its underperformance versus the Index. In addition, an overweight to the seven-year portion of the curve was additive for results, as it outperformed the Index. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.)

•  The Fund's positioning in a number of sectors was positive for performance. Security selection in the transportation, local general obligation and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sectors contributed to performance.

•  An overweight to AAA-rated municipal bonds was additive for results, as they outperformed the Index.

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


36



UBS Municipal Bond Fund

What didn't work

•  Positioning in certain portions of the municipal yield curve was detrimental to results. In particular, security selection in the 15-year portion of the curve was negative for performance, as was the Fund's underweight and security selection in the 10-year portion of the curve. Elsewhere, an underweight to securities with maturities of 20+ years, as well as security selection within that group, were drags on results.

•  Several of our quality biases detracted from performance. A modest overweight to AA-rated securities, along with an underweight to BBB-rated securities, was not rewarded.

•  The Fund's positioning in certain sectors was negative for results. In particular, an overweight to state general obligation bonds was negative for returns, as they lagged the Index. An underweight to the hospital sector detracted from returns as they outperformed the Index.

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 sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was 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 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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.

The following two graphs depict the performance of UBS Municipal Bond Fund Class A and Class P shares versus the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1-17) Index from November 10, 2014, which is the inception date of the two classes, through June 30, 2015. The performance of Class C shares will vary based upon the different class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption.

Portfolio acronym

CLO  Collateralized loan obligations

COP  Certificate of Participation

FGIC  Financial Guaranty Insurance Co.

GO  General Obligation

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

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 a published Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the TIPS are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the TIPS principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the TIPS generally pay lower interest rates than typical US Treasury securities. Only if inflation occurs will TIPS offer a higher real yield than a conventional Treasury security of the same maturity.

Explanation of expense disclosure

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.

Actual expenses

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

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

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

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.

1  For Class A, the maximum sales charge is 4.50% for UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, and 2.25% for UBS Municipal Bond 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 sale 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 is 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. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the funds made during the holdings periods specified in the prospectus will be eliminated.

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

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

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

Each of the Funds covered by this report is 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 holdings. Investments traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.


61



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

("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. Investments listed on foreign stock exchanges may be fair valued based on significant events that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign markets. 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 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 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.


62



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.

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.

In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-11, Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): "Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures" ("ASU 2014-11") to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. ASU 2014-11 includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

In May 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)" ("ASU 2015-07"). The modification removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for annual

reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC Topic 815") require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, swaptions and options written entered into by a Fund may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of June 30, 2015 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2015, a Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. The Funds may be sellers of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements). The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the year ended June 30, 2015.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015 is as follows:

UBS Municipal Bond Fund had net realized gain of $37,365 on futures contracts related to interest rate risk and change in net unrealized appreciation of $93,722 related to interest rate risk.

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 con-

tract 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. Tables are not presented below for any funds which only hold derivatives which are not subject to offsetting under ASC Topic 210.

*  In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the amount shown.

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


68



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 a 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


69



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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, a 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 a Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date a Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations are segregated in the Fund's 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. A 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, a Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Total return swap agreements are subject to general market

risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, interest risk, credit risk and the risk that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.

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

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

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2015 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


71



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, a Fund's risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, a Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

A Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements 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.

In the normal course of trading activities, the Funds trade and hold certain fair valued derivative contracts that constitute guarantees. Such contracts include written put options, where a Fund would be obligated to purchase securities at specified prices (i.e. the options are exercised by the counterparties). The maximum payout for these contracts is limited to the number of put option contracts written and the related strike prices, respectively. The maximum payout for UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund was $478,688 and $1,355,671, respectively, at June 30, 2015.

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.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

K. Dividends and distributions: It is each Fund's policy to distribute its respective net investment income monthly except UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund which will distribute its net investment income, if any, quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-distribution date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

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

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

M. Redemption fees: Each class of each series of The UBS Funds will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exceptions. This amount is paid to the applicable Fund, not the Advisor or UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc., ("UBS Global AM (US)"). The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the year ended June 30, 2015, 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 is calculated as a percentage of the amount redeemed within 30 days of purchase, if applicable. Effective August 3, 2015, for purchases of shares on or after that date, the redemption fee will be eliminated.

2. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates

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

The Funds may invest in certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by the Advisor. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the year ended June 30, 2015 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 June 30, 2015 and for the year ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Under normal conditions, the Funds invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. UBS Global AM acts as managing member and receives a management fee from Private Money Market payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.10% of Private Money Market's average daily members' equity, minus the aggregate operating expenses of, and incurred by, Private Money Market during each such related month, not including investment expenses (including brokerage commissions, taxes, interest charges and other costs with respect to transactions in securities) and extraordinary expenses including litigation expenses, if any. The Advisor may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are reflected as securities lending income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at June 30, 2015 and for the year 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:

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 fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 were as follows:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after December 22, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. These carryforwards are available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of future realized capital gains. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

At June 30, 2015, the following Funds had post-enactment net capital losses that will be carried forward indefinitely, as follows:

ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes—Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded as of June 30, 2014 that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. It is each Fund's policy to record any significant foreign tax exposures in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, gains on certain securities held in foreign countries may be subject to taxes that will be paid by the Fund.

Each of the tax years in the four year ended June 30, 2015, or since inception in the case of 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

The UBS Funds

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund (three of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2015, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund at June 30, 2015, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), held on June 4 and 5, 2015 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on May 26, 2015, June 4, 2015 and June 5, 2015, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services.

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

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


84

(unaudited)

analyzing the services provided by the Advisor to each Fund, both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the impact of these services on investment performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each Fund were consistent with the operational requirements of each Fund, and met the needs of the Fund's shareholders.

Performance.

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

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

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund's weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was attributable to its corporate credit exposure in both investment grade and high yield debt, where overall hedging strategies and security selection within the energy sector detracted from results. The Advisor also noted that the Fund's net short duration positioning was not rewarded as yield generally declined over the period. The Advisor did note that the Fund continued to deliver returns with minimal correlation to traditional fixed income markets, as well as many of its unconstrained fixed income peer funds.

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

Fund fees and expenses.

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


85



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

each Fund and noted that each Fund had total expenses that were comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group, except for UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund.

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

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund. It was noted that the actual management fee of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group. The Board noted that while the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund's actual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's total expenses were less than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, resulting in the total cost to investors being very competitive. The Advisor also noted that the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund was included in a brand new Lipper peer group category. The Advisor stated that as the new category matures, the rankings of the Fund will become more conclusive.

The Advisor next addressed the management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund. The Advisor noted that while the contractual management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund compared very favorably to its Lipper peers with respect to its actual management fee and total expenses. The UBS Core Plus Bond Fund placed in the first quintile of its Lipper expense group for both its actual management fee and total expenses.

The Board next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund were each higher than the medians in its Lipper expense group. The Advisor noted that a new fee waiver and expense cap arrangement was approved for the Fund effective March 27, 2015, that provides for a higher level of fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Advisor. The Advisor reported that under this new arrangement, the actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund are each expected to be lower than the medians of the Lipper expense group.

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

Costs and profitability.

The Board considered the costs of providing services to the Funds and the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates by reviewing the profitability analysis provided by the Advisor, including information about its fee revenues and expenses. The Board reviewed the profitability of each Fund to the Advisor and its affiliates, and the


86



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

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

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

Economies of scale.

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

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(c)          To pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the UBS Funds’ independent auditors to the UBS Funds’ investment advisor or to any entity, that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the UBS Funds investment advisor (“advisor affiliate”) and that provides ongoing services to the UBS Funds when, without such pre-approval by the Committee, the auditors would not be independent of the UBS Funds under applicable federal securities laws, rules or auditing standards.

 

(d)         To establish, if deemed necessary or appropriate as an alternative to Committee pre-approval of services to be provided by the independent auditors as required by paragraphs (b) 

 


 

and (c) above, policies and procedures to permit such services to be pre-approved by other means, such as by action of a designated member or members of the Committee, subject to subsequent Committee review or oversight.

 

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

 

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