President's letter

February 12, 2016

Dear Shareholder,

In my last correspondence, I wrote about some of the problems challenging the global recovery. In recent months, the slowing of the Chinese economy has taken center stage, commodity prices have continued to decline and global markets remain volatile. In this letter, I would like to take a closer look at some of the changes happening in the global markets—a China in transition, our high hopes for the Eurozone and concerns about Japan, and the relative strength of the US economy—and their subsequent impact on the investment landscape.

In 2015, signs that China could be slowing faster than anticipated gave investors heightened concern. The slowing of China's economy comes as President Xi Jinping seeks to transition the country from a reliance on exports to a more balanced consumption-oriented economy, and from an economy dominated by state-sponsored firms to one that is increasingly driven by the free market. The slowdown put pressure on the prospects of commodity-producing economies such as Brazil and Russia. For years, commodity-producing countries thrived by providing the natural resources—iron ore, copper, aluminum, coal and oil—that powered China's economic boom. Many of these economies are now contracting as a result of China's transition from a manufacturing to a consumption-led economic growth model.

The Eurozone and Japanese equity markets have seen relatively strong performance in the past year, with riskier assets in both being supported by fairly similar conditions—continued monetary easing, currency weakness providing a boost to exporters, as well as the low price of oil, which has left consumers with more disposable income. On the economic front, however, there are tentative signs of divergence: Eurozone economic growth in the coming quarters could surprise on the upside, while Japan's growth prospects look likely to remain broadly stagnant. While there have been no major changes in the fortunes of either economy, investor sentiment on the Eurozone is likely to have taken a turn for the better due to clearer signs of improvement in underlying fundamentals. In particular, the convergence in economic conditions between the peripheral and core Eurozone countries represents a positive trend that has recently strengthened. The influx of migrants to the currency bloc—while bringing with it new risks—also has the potential to boost GDP, if new workers can be successfully integrated into the Eurozone labor force.

Turning to the United States, in December the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") raised interest rates for the first time in almost 10 years. The market widely expected the increase, so the focus was on the language of the announcement and the projections for future rate increases. Both of these were more dovish than expected, with the Fed using the term "gradual" to describe the likely path of monetary policy. This tightening of monetary policy is a positive move since it signals the Fed's confidence in the domestic economic recovery. The effects of the Fed tightening will also reverberate through the global economy and financial markets. Emerging markets economies are likely to be negatively impacted, particularly those with US dollar-denominated debt loads that stand to become more expensive to finance as their currencies depreciate against a strengthening US dollar.

While many changes are impacting the global economy—and much of the news flow over the past few months has struck a negative tone—you can be confident that as a shareholder of a UBS Fund with UBS Asset Management, our team of investment professionals around the world is constantly monitoring changes in the investment landscape to seek to produce successful long-term outcomes for you. As changes in the global markets continue to evolve, we believe it benefits investors to work with a knowledgeable and trusted partner. At UBS

The markets in review

Generally moderate global growth

The US economy continued to expand, but the pace was uneven during the six months ended December 31, 2015. The US Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") expanded at a 3.9% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the second quarter of 2015. GDP growth then slowed to a 2.0% rate for the third quarter of the year. Finally, the Commerce Department's initial estimate for fourth-quarter GDP growth was 0.7%.1

The US Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") took its initial step toward normalizing monetary policy during the reporting period. In December 2015, the Fed raised the fed funds rates for the first time in nearly a decade. The US central bank boosted the fed funds rate from a range of 0% to 0.25% to a range between 0.25% and 0.50%.2 In its official statement the Fed said, "The stance of monetary policy remains accommodative after this increase, thereby supporting further improvement in labor market conditions and a return to 2% inflation...The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run."

Growth outside the US was mixed during the reporting period. In its January 2016 World Economic Outlook Update—released after the reporting period had ended—the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") said, "In advanced economies, a modest and uneven recovery is expected to continue, with a gradual further narrowing of output gaps. The picture for emerging market and developing economies is diverse but in many cases challenging." From a regional perspective, the IMF estimated that 2015 growth in the eurozone was 1.5%, versus 0.9% in 2014. Japan's economy was believed to have expanded 0.6% in 2015, versus 0.0% in 2014. Elsewhere, the IMF estimated that overall growth in emerging market countries moderated in 2015, with growth of 4.0% versus 4.6% in 2014.

Global equities post overall weak results

The global equity market experienced several periods of heightened volatility during the reporting period. Investor sentiment fluctuated given mixed economic data and corporate earnings reports, uncertainties regarding future monetary policy and numerous geopolitical issues. Risk aversion peaked during the third quarter of 2015, as the global equity market experienced its first correction (a decline of at least 10%) since 2011. The market then rallied sharply in October 2015, but ended the year on a weak note. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, gained 0.15% for the six months ended December 31, 2015.3 International equities produced very poor results, as they were negatively impacted by moderating growth, fears of a "hard landing" for China's economy and sharply falling commodity prices. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net), declined 6.01% during the period.4 Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), fell 17.35% over the same period.5

1  Based on the Commerce Department's initial estimate announced on January 29, 2016, after the reporting period had ended.

2  The federal funds rate or the "fed funds rate," is the rate banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.

3  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.

4  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.

5  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 were not immune from periodic bouts of risk aversion during the reporting period. Mixed signals from the Fed regarding the timing for interest rate "liftoff" was just one of the factors impacting fixed income prices. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury fell from 2.35% to 2.27% during the reporting period, and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index, gained 0.65%.6 Returns of riskier fixed income securities were even weaker for the six months ended December 31, 2015. High yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index, declined 6.84%, while emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global), fell 0.52% during the reporting period.7,8

6  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.

7  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 issue is restricted to a maximum of 2% of the total index. The index is not leveraged. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned -6.99% (Class A shares returned -12.05% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -6.74%. For purposes of comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned 0.03% during the same time period, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned -3.41% and the Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 0.01%. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund.

Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 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 absolute return during the reporting period. Performance was due to asset allocation decisions.

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Certain equity positions added value over the reporting period.

  – The Fund's relative value trade of long German equities versus Swedish equities contributed to results after a sustained performance gap between the two markets narrowed.

  – The Fund's relative value trade of long North Asian equities versus emerging markets contributed to performance. North Asian countries are net importers of oil and are experiencing healthier current account balances.

•  Certain fixed income positions were positive for performance.

  – The Fund benefited from a sustained long position in Australian government bonds, which served as a source of yield pick-up within the fixed income holdings.

  – The Fund's long positions in Italian and Spanish government bonds added value, as yields in these periphery countries declined during the reporting period.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

•  Overall, the Fund's active currency strategy was beneficial for results.

  – The Fund's long position in the euro over the Swiss franc contributed to results. The removal of the 1.20 euro/Swiss franc floor earlier in the year resulted in an immediate appreciation of the Swiss franc and the currency appearing significantly overvalued, which had negative consequences for the Swiss economy.

  – The Fund's trade of long Mexican peso versus the Malaysian ringgit added to performance. Chinese trading partners such as Malaysia suffered amid heightened growth concerns.

What didn't work:

•  Overall, the Fund's equity positioning was negative for returns.

  – The Fund's long exposure to developed ex-US equities—particularly the eurozone and Japan—detracted from performance given concerns surrounding a global growth slowdown and economic linkages with China.

  – The Fund's relative value trade of long US small cap equities versus US large cap equities detracted from performance. Third-quarter earnings were disappointing and merger and acquisition (M&A) activity remained concentrated in the large cap space.

•  Overall, the Fund's fixed income positioning slightly detracted from results.

  – The Fund's long position in investment grade bonds versus global sovereigns was negative for results, as spreads widened on corporate debt during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's performance was negatively impacted by a short US duration position as US yields were flat to slightly down across the curve during the reporting period.

•  Certain currency trades performed poorly during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's overweight in the Swedish krona over the euro was negative for results. The Swedish Riksbank cut rates and expanded their quantitative easing program, and the euro rebounded from its lows, causing this trade to detract from results.

  – The Fund's trade of long New Zealand dollar versus the US dollar detracted from performance. Even though the Reserve Bank of New Zealand reduced interest rates late in the year, the market interpreted this move as hawkish given the lack of additional forward guidance around future monetary policy easing.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.44% and 1.36%; Class C—2.20% and 2.11%; Class P—1.21% and 1.11%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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 1.35% 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, the UBS 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

12  Payments 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.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") returned -2.99% (Class A shares returned -8.36% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -2.81%. In contrast, the Fund's benchmark, the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD), returned -2.05% during the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) returned -4.90% and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) returned 1.99% 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 26. Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund produced a negative absolute return during the reporting period and underperformed the benchmark. Negative performance was primarily due to our active market allocation strategy.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our active currency strategy, utilizing currency forwards had a direct 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, detracted from performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Certain active equity positions added to performance.

  – The Fund's overweight to North Asian equities relative to broader emerging markets contributed to results over the reporting period. North Asian countries are net importers of oil and are experiencing healthier current account balances.

  – The Fund benefited from a relative value trade of long German equities versus Swedish equities, which outperformed after a sustained dislocation between the two markets.

•  Certain active fixed income positions were positive for results.

  – The Fund's allocation to global corporate bonds added value on a relative basis.

  – The Fund held an overweight position in UK government bonds, which served as a source of yield pick-up within the fixed income holdings.

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

  – The Fund maintained an overweight to the Japanese yen relative to the euro and US dollar. The yen benefited during this volatile time for its perceived safe haven status.

  – The Fund maintained an overweight to the Mexican peso relative to the Malaysian ringgit. Chinese trading partners such as Malaysia suffered amid heightened growth concerns.

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

  – Positive security selection came from within US equities and emerging market equities.

What didn't work:

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

  – An overweight to non-US developed equities—particularly the eurozone and Japan—detracted from performance given concerns surrounding a global growth slowdown and economic linkages with China.

  – The Fund's relative value trade of long Dutch versus UK equities detracted from performance.

•  Certain fixed income allocations were headwinds for results.

  – The Fund's overall underweight to global ex-US bonds detracted from performance. In particular, the Fund's underweight to European bonds and Japanese bonds detracted from returns as global sovereign bonds benefited from heightened risk aversion and underwhelming global economic developments.

  – The Fund's performance was negatively impacted by a short US duration position, as US yields were flat to slightly down across the curve during the reporting period.

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

  – The biggest detractor from performance was the Fund's overweight in the Swedish krona over the euro. The Swedish Riksbank cut rates and expanded their quantitative easing program and the euro rebounded from its lows, causing this trade to detract from results.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.39% and 1.39%; Class C—2.17% and 2.17%; Class P—1.11% and 1.11%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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, 2016, 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 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at December 31, 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 December 31, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $10,929,114 or 2.44% of net assets.

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

4  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At December 31, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $3,000,617 or 0.67% of net assets.

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

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

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 Asset Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Asset Growth Fund returned -12.84% (Class A shares fell -17.66% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -12.83%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) (the "Index") returned -3.41%. (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 39; 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 detracted from performance relative to the benchmark during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Certain currency positions generated positive absolute returns.

  – The Fund's short position in the British pound was positive for performance, as the currency depreciated over the reporting period due to soft UK economic data.

  – The Fund's long position in the Japanese yen was additive to performance as the currency benefited from a perceived safe haven currency status during volatile markets over the reporting period.

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.

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

UBS Asset Growth Fund

•  Certain equity positions detracted from performance.

  – The Fund was hurt by a long position in emerging market equities, which underperformed during the period driven primarily by investor fear concerning a slowdown in Chinese growth.

  – The Fund's long exposure to developed ex-US equities—particularly the eurozone, UK and Japan—detracted from performance given concerns surrounding a global growth slowdown and economic linkages with China.

•  Leverage detracted from the Fund's performance.

  – The Fund maintains a volatility target of 15% or less annually. During the reporting period, market volatility and Fund realized volatility was relatively heightened and, therefore, the Fund's leverage was adjusted throughout the period in an attempt to maintain the Fund's target volatility of 15%. The Fund's leverage ranged from unlevered to 170%. 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, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.49% and 1.61%; Class C—3.27% and 2.36%; Class P—2.26% and 1.36%. 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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 1.40% 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, the UBS 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. 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. For month-end performance figures, please visit www.ubs.com/us-mutualfundperformance.

UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund)

Please note: Effective on October 28, 2015, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund was renamed UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund, with the fund's benchmark changing from the MSCI World Free Index (net) to the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net). The fund's investment objective and policies as stated in the fund's prospectus remained the same, as did the portfolio management team and the investment process used for security selection.

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned -8.84% (Class A shares returned -13.85% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -8.71%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net) (the "Index"), returned -7.07%. The Fund's previous benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned -3.41%. (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 46; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a negative absolute return and underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection. Sector allocation was also a drag on results, albeit to a lesser extent.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Several individual stocks had a positive impact on performance.

  – Ono Pharmaceutical Co., a Japanese pharmaceutical company, was among the Fund's largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. Its shares rallied sharply as a number of its new products performed well, including Opdivo, a treatment for liver cancer. Against this backdrop, a number of analysts upgraded their outlook for the company.

  – Olympus Corp., headquartered in Japan, has a variety of products, including cameras, medical endoscopes and other medical devices. Its shares had been negatively impacted by a corporate scandal, but its new management team has helped to regain confidence in the company. In particular, Olympus has benefited from continued strong results from its endoscopy business and several of its newer cameras have performed well.

  – SAP SE is a German multinational software company that makes enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations. The company offers a full range of cloud computing solutions that have performed well and helped to boost its share price.

  – KDDI Corp., one of three of Japan's telecommunications companies, was the Fund's largest contributor to performance during the reporting period. Its shares moved higher, driven by increased profit growth due to a decline in competition and, therefore, diminishing marketing costs and increased pricing power. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

•  From a sector allocation perspective, an underweight to energy and an overweight to information technology 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.

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

UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund)

What didn't work

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

  – A.P. Moeller-Maersk is a Danish business conglomerate with activities in a variety of business sectors, primarily within the transportation and energy sectors. It was the Fund's largest detractor from results during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Alnylam Pharmaceutical is a US-based biopharmaceutical company that specializes in RNAi therapeutics and gene silencing technology. Its shares were dragged down by negative investor sentiment for the overall biotechnology industry, and we eliminated the Fund's position during the reporting period.

  – Mallinckrodt Pub Ltd Co. is a global specialty biopharmaceutical company. Investor sentiment for the firm was weak given concerns regarding its product line and news stories regarding excessive drug prices. Given these issues and its less attractive new product pipeline, we eliminated the position from the portfolio.

  – Statoil Asa 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 negatively impacted by falling oil prices, which subsequently resulted in Statoil cancelling a number of projects.

•  Sector allocation, overall, was negative for results during the reporting period. An overweight to materials, along with underweights to consumer staples and utilities, were the largest detractors from the Fund's relative performance.

Portfolio highlights

•  KDDI Corp., one of three of Japan's telecommunications companies, was among the Fund's largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. The company provides a full range of services, from fixed-line to cellular, primarily in its domestic market. The company has previously grown its market share through competitive measures, such as product differentiation, and was successful in doing so. However, the competitive landscape has changed, as all three Japanese telecommunication companies have turned their focus away from gaining market share to growing profits. As a result, all three now have virtually undifferentiated offerings. Among the three companies, KDDI is currently trading at the most attractive valuation. Furthermore, as the Japanese telecommunication market becomes less competitive and more oligopolistic, we believe KDDI should see the biggest share price gains as its profitability increases.

•  A.P. Moeller-Maersk operates primarily in transportation and energy. The company's share price has been weak, as it has been adversely affected by falling oil prices, and its container shipping business is currently suffering from oversupply. Trade demand has been weaker than expected, particularly over the last six months. We continue to hold the stock, as we believe it has many opportunities to improve its efficiency in the long term. However, in light of recent market headwinds we trimmed the position.


44



UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund)

•  Toward the end of the reporting period, we started a new position in Roche, a major pharmaceutical company listed in Switzerland. The company has strong franchises in cancer and diagnostics and has recently started to develop drugs in the area of immune-oncology. Together with Bristol-Myers and Merck, Roche has become the leader in this promising field. Outside of oncology, the company has several promising drugs in development for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis and Hemophilia, the potential of which we believe is undervalued by the market.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.47% and 1.25%; Class C—3.23% and 2.00%; Class P—2.21% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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 ex USA Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets excluding the United States. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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  Effective October 28, 2015, the MSCI World ex USA Index (net) replaced the MSCI World Free Index (net) as the Fund's primary benchmark index because it more closely aligns with the Fund's investment strategy.

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

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned -6.50% (Class A shares returned -11.63% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -6.39%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "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 54; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund underperformed the Index primarily due to stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Amazon.com was the largest positive contributor for the six months ended December 31, 2015, with a gain of 56%. Since the company began disclosing the financial results of its Amazon Web Services segment, it has become clear that Amazon is much more than a web retailer. Amazon dominates the rapidly growing cloud services market. This segment is already profitable for the company and should realize increasing profit margins as it reaches scale.

•  Several stock selection decisions made a significant contribution to Fund performance.

  – Shares of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company, traded higher after Lexicon inked a licensing and collaboration deal with Sanofi for its experimental drug developed for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This news followed Lexicon's announcement that another experimental drug met its primary endpoint in a pivotal late-stage trial as a potential treatment for cancer patients with carcinoid syndrome.

  – The Fund was underweight to Apple during the six months. As the stock dropped on concerns over weakness in iPhone orders, it benefited the Fund's relative returns. We gradually reduced the Fund's position in Apple over the course of 2015, fully selling out of the name in the fourth quarter. We believe that exposure to semiconductor component companies is a more attractive way to play the long-term bet on smartphones.

•  An overweight to the consumer staples sector, as well as successful stock selection within the sector, contributed positively to Fund returns.

  – Philip Morris raised its full-year earnings outlook after reporting third-quarter 2015 results that topped Wall Street estimates. Despite weaker-than-expected sales in the European Union, the cigarette company's organic volume, market share and pricing trends remain robust against the background of an improved macroeconomic environment in the region. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The stock price of Mondelez International was up during the six-month period. The snack food giant, which has benefitted from strong category growth in cookies and chocolate worldwide, announced positive progress on its cost reduction initiative and unveiled its strategy to accelerate growth. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, including expanding profit margins and notable return on equity. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

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

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

•  The Fund's overweight to the information technology sector also benefited relative returns.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's overweight to health care stocks, as well as certain names within the sector, negatively impacted relative returns. The sector was down overall following a period of heightened volatility, indiscriminate selling and concerns stemming from populist presidential campaign rhetoric.

  – Chimerix, Inc. was the largest stock detractor during the six-month period. The development-stage biotechnology company is working to advance an antiviral treatment for double-stranded DNA viruses. Its stock price plunged in the last week of December 2015 on news that a key Phase 3 trial did not meet its primary endpoint. Though our risk models had fully considered the possibility, it was a major setback for the stock. Despite that, we believe there is great value in the franchise, and that the company now presents a potentially attractive takeover target.

  – Shares of Envision Healthcare Holdings traded lower during the reporting period. The health-care company, which provides physician-led, outsourced medical services, executed poorly on new emergency department contracts. However, the issues appear to be contained and should be fixable over the next several quarters. In addition, we believe the stock was unfairly penalized by a broader sector-wide rotation away from companies that benefit from improving utilization.

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

  – Colfax Corporation, an industrial manufacturing and engineering firm, traded lower on concerns about emerging market growth, foreign currency exchange and energy/ infrastructure demand. We expect near-term conditions to remain challenging, but are confident that Colfax has a robust long-term opportunity set for margins to improve. In addition, our research indicates that potential merger and acquisition activity could add value to the company.

  – The decision not to hold Microsoft Corporation was a top detractor, as the stock rose during the fourth quarter of 2015 on stronger-than-expected earnings. Although the market responded positively when the business software and services giant unveiled a suite of new products and opened its first flagship store in New York City, we believe more attractive long-term price/value opportunities exist elsewhere in the technology sector.

  – The stock price of YUM! Brands, the quick-service restaurant company, declined 18% during the six months. We believe the market is undervaluing the long-term franchise value of KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in China, where unit growth has accelerated in recent years. We continue to hold the stock.

•  The decision not to hold any utilities names detracted from Fund performance, as the sector was up 6% within the benchmark during the six months.

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio highlights

•  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. The company has proven its ability to accurately model demand for its products in spite of the complexities surrounding regulation, taxation and demographics.

•  Mondelez International manufactures and markets snack food and beverages including cookies, crackers, chocolate, gum, candy, coffee, powdered beverages, and various cheese and grocery products. Cookies and chocolate are experiencing strong category growth in developing markets. We believe Mondelez is well-positioned to benefit from its geographic exposure and strong operations in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and in next wave markets like Indonesia and the Middle East. In addition, we see potential for restructuring in the company's developed markets business, which represents an attractive opportunity to improve profit margins.

•  PepsiCo is a worldwide food and beverage company with a product portfolio that includes more than 20 billion-dollar brands. We believe the market is mispricing the relative attractiveness of PepsiCo's Frito-Lay business in developed and developing countries, and we see potential for improved pricing in the carbonated soft drink category to offer further upside on the stock.

•  Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company developing a unique platform technology based on RNA interference (RNAi) science. This technology has the potential to effectively silence disease-causing genes, and while it is still early in development, there have been significant value-creating advances over the past two years. We believe the value of Alnylam's platform technology will rise substantially as scientists continue to discover disease-causing genes at an increasing rate.

•  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, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.56% and 1.20%; Class C—2.31% and 1.95%; Class P—1.07% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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, 2016, 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, the UBS 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned -11.92% (Class A shares returned -16.75% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -11.84%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned -9.31% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 62; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Several information technology stocks made a positive contribution to Fund returns during the six months ended December 31, 2015.

  – Ultimate Software Group is a leading developer of unified human capital management software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for global businesses. The company posted record sales and earnings during the period, sending its shares higher. Ultimate is benefiting from the transformation of its business from a license model to a subscription model that includes a higher percentage of visible recurring revenues.

  – Shares of Integrated Device Technology, a designer, developer and manufacturer of semiconductor products and modules, rose after the company reported earnings that exceeded investor expectations. The announcement that the company would acquire ZDMI, a German component manufacturer, also boosted performance.

  – Heartland Payment Systems, a provider of bank card-based payment processing services to small and medium-sized merchants, outperformed following the announcement that Global Payments would acquire the company for a combination of cash and stock valued at $100 per share.

  – The Fund's position in Proofpoint contributed to relative returns. The company, a global provider of enterprise software solutions focused on e-mail security, data protection, archiving and governance, is taking advantage of a large market opportunity and a benign competitive landscape. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Other individual stock positions were additive for performance over the six-month period.

  – 8x8, Inc. was the Fund's strongest performer during the six months. The provider of voice over internet protocol (VoIP) platforms and hosted internet PBX solutions saw its shares rise after reporting better-than-expected quarterly sales and earnings. The company is successfully shifting its focus toward the enterprise market and away from small to mid-sized businesses. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

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


59



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

  – DexCom is a leading provider of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for individuals with diabetes. The company saw its shares rise after reporting quarterly revenue that beat consensus estimates by about 10%. In addition, during August 2015, DexCom received FDA approval for its mobile CGM system, which works directly with smartphones. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

What didn't work

•  Several health care names detracted from the Fund's relative returns. Stock selection was particularly challenging within the biotechnology industry, which was one of the worst performing industry groups during the reporting period.

  – LDR Holding Corp. was the Fund's largest negative contributor for the six months. The medical device company focuses on novel and proprietary surgical technologies for the treatment of patients suffering from spine disorders. Shares fell after the company pre-announced sales and earnings for the third quarter that disappointed investors and raised concerns that the company's overall growth profile was slowing.

  – The stock price of Exact Sciences, a molecular diagnostics company focused on the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer, traded lower during the period. The decline occurred after the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued draft recommendations on colon cancer screening that failed to include the company's DNA test.

  – Endologix manufactures endovascular aneurism repair (EVAR) devices used in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The company's shares fell after it announced plans to acquire TriVascular Technologies for cash and stock. We sold our position in the stock before the end of the reporting period.

•  Certain consumer discretionary stocks had a negative impact on Fund performance.

  – La Quinta Holdings operates and owns hotels across the US. The company revised its earnings guidance downward during the six-month period. This was followed by the unexpected resignation of La Quinta's CEO. The uncertainty of these developments weighed on the share price, causing the stock to trade lower.

  – The Fund's position in Asbury Automotive, an automotive retailer, detracted from returns. The stock suffered from concerns about Asbury's declining gross profit per new vehicle sold.

•  An overweight to energy stocks hindered the Fund as the sector was punished by declines in the price of crude oil.

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio highlights

•  8x8, Inc. is one of the leading providers of unified communications as a service. The company's cloud-based solutions provide communications and collaboration on a unified platform that includes voice, video, contact center and desktop. 8x8's solutions allow enterprises to easily deploy and scale their communications platforms as needed without large upfront expenses.

•  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.

•  Acadia Health Care is one of the country's leading operators of behavioral health centers. The company operates 52 facilities in 21 states, up from just six facilities when the current management team took over the company in early 2011. Pricing trends remain favorable, with increases expected across the company's payer sources. Acadia is benefitting from several demographic trends including the aging population and an increased focus on care for adolescents. Acadia's experienced management team has demonstrated an ability to grow through acquisitions, as well as by adding beds to existing facilities. We expect the company to continue to grow revenues at rates in the high single digits.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.52% and 1.25%; Class C—2.25% and 2.00%; Class P—1.11% 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. Effective March 27, 2015, the Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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; 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. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, the UBS 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") returned -6.40% (Class A shares returned -11.56% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -6.29%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "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 70; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Amazon.com was the largest positive contributor for the six months ended December 31, 2015, with a gain of 53%. Since the company began disclosing the financial results of its Amazon Web Services segment, it has become clear that Amazon is much more than a web retailer. Amazon dominates the rapidly growing cloud services market. This segment is already profitable for the company and should realize increasing profit margins as it reaches scale. We continue to have a favorable view of the company, but sold the stock in December to focus on companies that we find more attractive.

•  Several stock selection decisions made a significant contribution to Fund performance.

  – Holding Digital Realty Trust, a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in technology-related properties, was positive for performance. The company has been aggressively improving its global datacenter portfolio through new developments and acquisitions, particularly in higher-margin overseas markets. We believe Digital Realty Trust will benefit from improved occupancy levels at higher rents as existing contracts expire and are replaced with more profitable leases.

  – Shares of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company, traded higher after Lexicon inked a licensing and collaboration deal with Sanofi for its experimental drug developed for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This news followed Lexicon's announcement that another experimental drug met its primary endpoint in a pivotal late-stage trial as a potential treatment for cancer patients with carcinoid syndrome.

•  An overweight to the consumer staples sector, as well as successful stock selection within the sector, contributed positively to Fund returns.

  – The stock price of Mondelez International was up during the six-month period. The snack food giant, which has benefitted from strong category growth in cookies and chocolate worldwide, announced positive progress on its cost reduction initiative and unveiled its strategy to accelerate growth. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, including expanding profit margins and notable return on equity. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Philip Morris raised its full-year earnings outlook after reporting third-quarter 2015 results that topped Wall Street estimates. Despite weaker-than-expected sales in the European Union, the cigarette company's organic volume, market share and pricing trends remain robust against the background of an improved macroeconomic environment in the region. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

•  The Fund's overweight to the information technology sector also benefited relative returns.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's overweight to health care stocks, as well as certain names within the sector, negatively impacted relative returns. The sector was down overall following a period of heightened volatility, indiscriminate selling and concerns stemming from populist presidential campaign rhetoric.

  – Chimerix, Inc. was the largest stock detractor during the six-month period. The development-stage biotechnology company is working to advance an antiviral treatment for double-stranded DNA viruses. Its stock price plunged in the last week of December 2015 on news that a key Phase 3 trial did not meet its primary endpoint. Though our risk models had fully considered the possibility, it was a major setback for the stock. Despite that, we believe there is great value in the franchise, and that the company now presents a potentially attractive takeover target.

  – Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is the leader in RNA interference (RNAi) science. The company's shares declined 21% during the six-month period, detracting from Fund returns. We believe the field of gene therapy shows considerable promise for treating a wide array of diseases, and that Alnylam is well-positioned within the space. We continue to hold the stock.

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

  – Colfax Corporation, an industrial manufacturing and engineering firm, traded lower on concerns about emerging market growth, foreign currency exchange and energy/ infrastructure demand. We expect near-term conditions to remain challenging, but are confident that Colfax has a robust long-term opportunity set for margins to improve. In addition, our research indicates that potential merger and acquisition activity could add value to the company.

  – pdvWireless began as a private placement that was intended to fund the potential acquisition of Sprint's wireless spectrum. The goal of the acquisition was to build a nationwide push-to-talk type wireless network and ultimately consolidate non-contiguous spectrum to allow for 4G usage. The original investment was contingent on the deal closing and receiving approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). We continue to hold the stock following the company's IPO.

  – Shares of Laredo Petroleum were down 36% as the energy sector suffered from collapsing oil prices. We believe the long-term outlook for Laredo is strong, as the company is completing excellent wells in the core of the Midland basin and operating in largely contiguous acreage that fits the footprint of larger players in the oil and gas space.

•  The decision not to hold any utilities names detracted from Fund performance, as the sector was up 6% within the benchmark during the six months.

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

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.

•  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.

•  PepsiCo is a worldwide food and beverage company with a product portfolio that includes more than 20 billion-dollar brands. We believe the market is mispricing the relative attractiveness of PepsiCo's Frito-Lay business in developed and developing countries, and we see potential for improved pricing in the carbonated soft drink category to offer further upside on the stock.

•  Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company developing a unique platform technology based on RNA interference (RNAi) science. This technology has the potential to effectively silence disease-causing genes, and while it is still early in development, there have been significant value-creating advances over the past two years. We believe the value of Alnylam's platform technology will rise substantially as scientists continue to discover disease-causing genes at an increasing rate.

•  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, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.73% and 1.21%; Class C—2.51% and 1.96%; Class P—1.53% and 0.96%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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, 2016, 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, the UBS 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") returned -4.33% (Class A shares returned -8.65% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -4.21%. For comparison purposes, The BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month Deposit Offered Rate Constant Maturity Index (the "Index") returned 0.10% 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 77; 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, emerging markets debt and duration positioning. These negatives more than offset the positive impact of the Fund's active currency exposure and allocation to collateralized loan obligations ("CLO").

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, swaps and options 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 detracted from performance during the reporting period. Spread management was negative overall for performance, but some spread products contributed to results. "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 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 active currency positioning for both developed market currencies and emerging market currencies added to performance. The Fund generally held a long exposure to the US dollar but diversified both long and short currency exposures during the reporting period. Other long exposures included the Swedish krona, Norwegian krone, Japanese yen and Indian rupee. Short currency exposures held at times during the reporting period included the Australian dollar, Singapore dollar, euro, Swiss franc, Chinese yuan, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen.

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

•  Collateralized debt contributed to performance.

  • The Fund's holdings of CLOs was beneficial for results as they outperformed other spread products.

•  Credit beta hedging also contributed to performance.

  • Credit spreads in most sectors widened during the reporting period. Against this backdrop, the Fund's utilization of beta hedging for spread management was additive to performance.

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 of commodity-related credit detracted from results as the continued decline in commodity prices led to weak results. Security selection in high yield corporate credit, in particular, underperformed due to the further declines 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.

  • Security selection in emerging market debt was also a negative for performance during the reporting period, driven by the declines in commodity prices and concerns over global growth.

•  Interest rate strategies were negative for performance during the reporting period.

  • The Fund was generally positioned for higher US interest rates and higher volatility in US interest rate markets. The Fund also at times had long exposures to the Australian and New Zealand interest rate markets, which were headwinds for performance.

  • Interest rate strategies were negative for results for the first half of the reporting period as interest rates in the US declined. However, interest rate strategies were additive to performance during the second half of the period as interest rates in the US increased leading up to the December US Federal Reserve meeting and the first rate hike by the US central bank since 2006.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.90% and 1.01%; Class C—2.48% and 1.51%; Class P—1.70% and 0.76%. 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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 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, the UBS 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Portfolio footnotes

1  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $4,873,268 or 18.39% of net assets.

2  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of December 31, 2015 and changes periodically.

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

4  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At December 31, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $1,881,771 or 7.10% of net assets.

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.

7  All or a portion of these securities have been designated as collateral for open swap agreements.

8  Step bond—Coupon rate increases in increments to maturity. Rate disclosed is as of December 31, 2015. Maturity date disclosed is the ultimate maturity date.

9  Security exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless otherwise noted, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2015, the value of these securities amounted to $119,985, or 0.45% of net assets.

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

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

17  Transfers out of Level 3 represent the value at the end of period. At December 31, 2015, securities were also transferred from Level 3 to level 2 as the valuations are based primarily an observable inputs from an established pricing source.

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 0.05% (Class A shares returned -4.49% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 0.16%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 0.65% 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 94; 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 return was about flat during the reporting period and underperformed the Barclays Aggregate, primarily due to its 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 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 period, the Fund was long the US dollar versus short the New Zealand dollar, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar, which benefited returns as all three currencies underperformed the US dollar during the period.

•  Yield curve positioning was additive to performance. The Fund was positioned to benefit from a flattening of the yield curve during the reporting period. (When the yield curve flattens, yields on shorter maturity bonds rise more than yields on longer maturity bonds.) This played out during the reporting period, as shorter-term yields increased as investors started to price in the likelihood of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board, while longer-term yields declined given strong overseas demand.

What didn't work:

•  The Fund's allocation to corporate credit detracted from performance during the reporting period. 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 of commodity-related credit detracted from performance, as the continued declines in commodity prices led to weak results. Security selection in high yield corporate credit, in particular, underperformed due to the further declines in the price of oil. The negative performance from security selection was partially offset by beta index hedging.

•  The Fund's mortgage-backed securities positioning detracted from performance. Both sector allocation and security selection within the agency mortgage-backed security sector detracted from results during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.75% and 0.66%; Class C—2.38% and 1.16%; Class P—1.45% and 0.41%. 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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, 2016, 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, the UBS 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. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

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

a  The Advisor earns a management fee from this affiliated fund. Please see the Notes to financial statements for further information.

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 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  Payments made or received are based on the notional amount.

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

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

UBS Municipal Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2015, Class A shares of UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") gained 3.53% (Class A shares returned 1.18% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 3.56%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), returned 3.18%, and the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1-17) Index advanced 3.40% 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 111; 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 detracted from performance.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Positioning in several parts of the municipal yield curve was additive for performance. The Fund's overweights to the 7-10 year and 15-20 year portions of the municipal curve were beneficial given their outperformance versus 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 sector positioning, overall, was positive for performance. Security selection drove the Fund's outperformance among sectors, overall. In addition, an underweight to the housing sector was additive for results.

•  An underweight to AAA-rated municipal bonds was beneficial as they lagged the Index.

What didn't work

•  An underweight to the long end of the municipal yield curve was detrimental to results as it outperformed the Index.

•  An underweight to BBB-rated municipal securities was not rewarded as they outperformed the Index.

•  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 transportation detracted from results as this was the top performing sector in the Index.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2015 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.46% and 0.65%; Class C—1.98% and 1.15%; Class P—1.23% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.), the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS 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, 2016, 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, the UBS 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 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. For month-end performance figures, please visit www.ubs.com/us-mutualfundperformance.

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.

PO  Principal only security—This security entitles the holder to receive principal payments from an underlying pool of assetsor 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.

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

Explanation of expense disclosure

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2015 to December 31, 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 July 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

3  Annualized.

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

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 10 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund), UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds").

Each of the Funds is classified as a "diversified" investment company with the exception of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund which are 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 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.

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 generally 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). The NYSE normally is not open, and the Funds do not price their shares, on most national holidays and Good Friday. To the extent that a Fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is not open, the value of a Fund's assets may be affected on those days. 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 generally will still be calculated as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The time at which a Fund calculates its net asset value and until which purchase, sale or exchange orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the SEC.


161



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas), Inc.) ("UBS AM" or the "Advisor"), the investment advisor of the Funds. UBS 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 a 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.


162



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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, securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; investments whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed income securities that are in default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The need to fair value a Fund's portfolio investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic investments, and when a security that is subject to a trading limit or collar on the exchange or market on which it is primarily traded reaches the "limit up" or "limit down" price and no trading has taken place at that price. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of an investment's fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is purchased and sold. Valuing investments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing investments that have readily available market quotations. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by a fair value pricing service.

US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

In 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


163



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 this change 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 December 31, 2015 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 2015, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. Certain Funds may be sellers of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements). The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the period ended December 31, 2015.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk for each Fund as of and for the period ended December 31, 2015 is as follows:

3  Statement of operations location: Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts, options written, swap agreements and forward foreign currency contracts, unless otherwise noted.

UBS Municipal Bond Fund had net realized loss of $18,391 on futures contracts related to interest rate risk and net change in unrealized depreciation of $93,722 on futures contracts 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 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 transactions and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income and expense 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.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

D. Foreign currency translation: The Funds use the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of a 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 a Fund's portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of a Fund's fiscal period, a Fund does 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 the 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 the 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 net unrealized gains or losses on foreign forward currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by the Funds 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 realized 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


174



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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, 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 short sell, securities on a to-be-announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying securities. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations are segregated in the 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. At December 31, 2015, the Funds did not hold any TBA 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. A Fund expects 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 the 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 themselves 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 in order to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates to protect themselves 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.


175

Notes to financial statements

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, a Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and 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 swap agreements 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 swap agreements 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 the 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, which may exceed the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 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 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


176

Notes to financial statements

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. 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 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 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 these contracts is limited to the number of put option contracts written and the related strike prices, respectively. Maximum payout amounts could be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the execution of a payout event. The maximum payout for UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was $3,826,749 and $2,377,539, respectively, at December 31, 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.

Notes to financial statements

k. Short sales: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund may each enter into short sales whereby a Fund 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. There were no short sale transactions for UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund during the period ended December 31, 2015.

L. Dividends and distributions: It is each Fund's (except UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund) policy is to distribute its respective net investment income, if any, annually. Prior to December 31, 2015, it was UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund's policy to distribute its net investment income, if any, quarterly. Effective December 31, 2015, it is UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund's policy to distribute its net investment income, if any, annually. It is the policy of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund to distribute its respective net investment income, if any, monthly. It is each Fund's policy to distribute net realized 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.

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 some Funds in the Trust invest.

Small capitalization ("small cap") companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization ("large cap") companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of large cap companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in 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 its 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 predom-


178

Notes to financial statements

inately 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.

N. Commission recapture program: Certain Funds participate in a brokerage commission recapture program. Certain Funds have established commission recapture arrangements with certain participating brokers or dealers. If a Fund's investment manager chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker subject to best price and execution, the broker will rebate a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. For the period ended December 31, 2015, 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:

O. Redemption fees: Prior to August 3, 2015, each class of each series of The UBS Funds imposed a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exceptions. For purchases of shares on or after February 17, 2015, the redemption fee was calculated as a percentage of the amount redeemed within 30 days of purchase, if applicable. For purchases of shares on or after August 3, 2015, the redemption fee was eliminated.

This amount is paid to the applicable Fund, not the Advisor or UBS Asset Management (US) Inc., ("UBS AM (US)"). The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the period ended December 31, 2015, redemption fees for each Fund amounted to less than $0.01 per share and less than 0.01% of average net assets.

2. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates

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

For UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, 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 International 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 period ended December 31, 2015 are subject to repayment through June 30, 2019.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Funds could invest in UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund ("Cash Prime"). Cash Prime was offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts. On November 20, 2015, the Board of Trustees approved changing the Funds' sweep option for uninvested balances from Cash Prime to JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund; the change went into effect on December 10, 2015. Distributions received from Cash Prime are reflected as affiliated income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments for the six months ended December 31, 2015 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 only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. UBS AM acts as managing member of Private Money Market 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. UBS AM 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 included in securities lending income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments for the year ended December 31, 2015 have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

The following Funds have incurred brokerage commissions with UBS AG, an affiliated broker-dealer. Amounts relating to those transactions for the period ended December 31, 2015, were as follows:

3. Distribution and service plans

UBS AM (US) is the principal underwriter of each Fund's shares.

Notes to financial statements

5. Securities lending

Each Fund may lend securities up to 33 1/3% 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.

Cash collateral received is invested in Private Money Market, which is included in each Fund's Portfolio of investments. At December 31, 2015, the following Funds loaned securities to certain qualified broker-dealers, with the Funds' custodian acting as the Funds' lending agent. The value of loaned securities and related collateral at December 31, 2015 was as follows:

7. Federal income taxes

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

The tax character of distributions paid and components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis current fiscal year will be determined after the Trust's fiscal year ending June 30, 2016.

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

Fund   Short-term
losses

losses

ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes—Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded, as of December 31, 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 period ended December 31, 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 Municipal Bond Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

8. Line of credit

The Trust and certain other funds managed by UBS AM have entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to provide a $50 million committed line of credit to the Funds and certain other funds managed by UBS AM ("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. For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the following Funds had borrowings as follows:

10. Contribution from Advisor

During the period ended December 31, 2015, the Advisor reimbursed UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund for trading errors in the amounts of $86,068 and $5,471, respectively.

During a review, the Financial Conduct Authority, a UK regulator, and the Advisor agreed that the Advisor paid for ineligible services, namely index data and certain market data services, out of equity dealing commissions for trades effected on behalf of the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS Global Allocation Fund in the United Kingdom. As a result, during the period ended December 31, 2015, the Advisor reimbursed the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS Global Allocation Fund $128,212 and $316,557, respectively, which was determined to be the value of the ineligible services paid for from the Funds' dealing commissions.

11. Subsequent event

On December 3, 2015 the Board of Trustees of The UBS Funds determined that it is in the best interests of the UBS US Equity Opportunity 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 March 16, 2016 (the "Liquidation Date"). On 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 January 14, 2016, 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 January 14, 2016, 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 exchange or redeem their shares in accordance with the policies in the Prospectus.

Also in connection with the liquidation, effective January 14, 2016, (a) the investment advisory fee of 0.70% 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; and (c) 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 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 Family Fund acquired in the exchange.
