President's letter

August 15, 2016

Dear Shareholder,

The past year has seen global markets rise and recede in waves, as changing news flow has elicited varying responses from investors. Geopolitical events have been at the forefront. The United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union, continued weakness in China and actions by central banks all have heightened volatility. In an economic environment in which achieving even relatively low levels of growth has been dependent on the support of central banks, investor confidence has been tenuous and has changed quickly.

Amid uncertainty and volatility, some safety-seeking investors have turned to government bonds for wealth preservation and portfolio stability. The perceived attractiveness of some government bonds—including those issued by Germany, Japan and Switzerland—has pushed up their prices and pulled down their yields into negative territory. In fact, nearly one-third of global government bonds currently have negative yields, which we believe could lead to capital losses for investors who hold these assets to maturity.1 As such, for some investors, government bonds may not provide wealth preservation or portfolio stability, as negative yields erode wealth and record asset prices raise fears of a coming market dislocation.

On the other hand, income-seeking investors have a different set of challenges. In a climate in which traditional safety assets—such as government bonds—provide low or negative yield, some have turned to the equity market, where dividends provide greater income, but with the risk of greater price volatility.2 The shares of companies whose products include basic necessities—such as utilities, telecommunications and consumer staples—have attracted many investors. Often considered the most defensive of the defensive sectors, utilities in particular have attracted investor interest over the past 12 months. As income-focused investors have moved into utilities stocks, the MSCI USA Utilities Index (net) has gained 30.18% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, raising concerns that a bubble may be forming in this and other defensive sectors of the equities market.3 As the prices of shares in defensive sectors become increasingly overvalued, we believe it is worth remembering that over the long-run, valuation is the single best predictor of returns.4,5

So where is safety to be found in a world of volatile markets and geopolitical uncertainty? We continue to believe that a well-diversified portfolio is the best defense against uncertainty and the most likely strategy to help grow wealth over the long term. We believe diversification across asset classes acts as a ballast against waves of volatility. Flexibly allocating assets across a wide range of global markets and asset classes, including global and US equities, fixed income and currencies, helps provide better risk-adjusted returns across various market cycles.6 At UBS Asset Management, we provide solutions to your global investment challenges by offering a range of products and

The markets in review

Overall tepid global growth

The US economy was resilient and continued to expand during the reporting period. The US Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") expanded at a 2.0% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the third quarter of 2015. Economic activity in the US then moderated, as GDP growth was a revised 0.9% during the fourth quarter of 2015 and 0.8% for the first quarter of 2016. However, the pace of growth then slightly accelerated, as the Commerce Department's initial estimate for second-quarter 2016 GDP growth was 1.2%.1

After taking its first step toward normalizing monetary policy in late 2015, the US Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") has since been in a holding pattern. Looking back, in December 2015, the Fed raised the fed funds rates from a range of 0% to 0.25% to a range between 0.25% and 0.50%. This marked the Fed's first rate hike in almost a decade. However, the Fed remained on hold during its first four meetings in 2016. In its official statement following its June 2016 meeting, the Fed said: "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."

From a global perspective, International Monetary Fund ("IMF") forecasts paint a picture of overall modest growth, which could moderate further following the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union ("Brexit"). In the IMF's July 2016 World Economic Outlook Update, released after the reporting period ended, it said: "With 'Brexit' still very much unfolding, the extent of uncertainty complicates the already difficult task of macroeconomic forecasting. The baseline global growth forecast has been revised down modestly relative to the April 2016 World Economic Outlook." More specifically, the IMF estimates that 2016 growth in the eurozone will be 1.6%, slightly slower than its 1.7% expansion in 2015. Japan's economy is projected to grow a tepid 0.3% in 2016, versus 0.5% in 2015. Among emerging markets countries, the IMF believes that growth will be 4.1% in 2016, a slight improvement from 4.0% in 2015.

Global equities generate mixed results

The global equity market was highly volatile at times and produced mixed results during the reporting period. Investors in both the US and abroad were confronted with mixed economic data, questions regarding future monetary policy, fluctuating oil prices and, in June 2016, the Brexit vote. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, gained 3.99% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016.2 Meanwhile, international equities generated very weak results, as they were unable to overcome several bouts of investor risk aversion. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net), fell 10.16% during the period.3 Emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net), declined 12.05% over the same period.4

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

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

4  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) is a market-capitalization-weighted index composed of different emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Basin. 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

Overall strong period in the fixed income market

Many of the issues holding back equities triggered a number of "flights to quality" that supported global fixed income markets. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury fell from 2.35% to 1.49% during the reporting period (bond yields and prices move in the opposite direction). Demand for US Treasuries was generally strong from both domestic and international investors. In addition, at the Fed's June 2016 meeting they lowered their projections of how much they expect to raise rates in the coming years. The overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index, gained 6.00% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016.5 Returns of riskier fixed income securities were mixed. Despite a strong rally over the second half of the period, high yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index, gained a modest 1.73%.6 In contrast, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 gained 10.32% during the reporting period.

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

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

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

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance (unaudited)

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned -10.48% (Class A shares returned -15.35% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -10.17%. For purposes of comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned 2.43% during the same time period, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned -2.78%, and the Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 0.11%. (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 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 portfolio'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 portfolio'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 portfolio'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 portfolio'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 portfolio'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 portfolio'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 was 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 was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

Portfolio footnotes

1  Security was purchased pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside of the United States. Such a security cannot be sold in the United States without either an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant to an exemption from registration. At June 30, 2016, these securities amounted to $32,151,277 or 14.24% of net assets.

2  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2016, the value of these securities amounted to $7,098,950 or 3.14% of net assets.

3  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of June 30, 2016 and changes periodically.

4  Security matures in 3015.

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

6  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at June 30, 2016.

7  Amount represents less than 0.005%.

8  Illiquid investment as of June 30, 2016.

9  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.

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

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

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


23



UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio of investments

June 30, 2016

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

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

For comparison purposes, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) returned -3.73% and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) returned 8.84% 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 27. 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 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.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

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

  – 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 portfolio'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 benchmark 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 was 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 was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

Portfolio of investments

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at June 30, 2016.

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

3  Security was purchased pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside of the United States. Such a security cannot be sold in the United States without either an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant to an exemption from registration. At June 30, 2016, these securities amounted to $16,268,948 or 4.09% of net assets.

4  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2016, the value of these securities amounted to $2,216,911 or 0.56% of net assets.

c  Formerly known as UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund

6  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.

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

8  Payments received are based on the notional amount.

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

See accompanying notes to financial statements.

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

Portfolio performance (unaudited)

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, Class A shares of UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned -14.07% (Class A shares returned -18.79% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -13.83%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net) (the "Index"), returned -9.84%. The Fund's previous benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned -2.78%. (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 42; 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 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.

•  KDDI Corp., a Japanese telecommunications company, was the Fund's largest contributor to performance during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

•  Unilever NV CVA, a British-Dutch multinational consumer goods company specializing in nutrition, hygiene and personal care products, was the next largest contributor to performance. Investor sentiment for stable, defensive companies such as Unilever helped its share price. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

•  Carl Zeiss Meditec AG is a medical technology company offering products and solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, as well as systems for cataract, retinal and refractive surgery. Their systems and implants are used by hospitals and ophthalmologists in the field of ophthalmology and microsurgery. Its main products are diagnostic tools for eye diseases and ophthalmologic surgery microscopes, as well as eye lasers and intraocular lenses (IOLs) for the correction of vision defects. Better results in microsurgery and opthalmological systems earlier this year helped drive its results. Growing demand for refractive lasers in international markets and expansion of intraocular lenses for the correction of vision in the US supported better growth prospects for the company.

•  Shares of Ono Pharmaceutical Co., a Japanese pharmaceutical company, rallied as Opdivo, the first approved PD-1 inhibitor, gained traction in Japan and has been licensed outside of the country. Over the fiscal year, Opdivo continued to gain breakthrough therapy status for treating various types of cancer. Ono Pharmaceutical was sold during the reporting period as a result of pricing and regulatory uncertainty in the Japanese market.

•  From a sector allocation perspective, an average overweight to information technology contributed to the Fund's relative performance. An underweight to financials was also beneficial for results.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see pages 3-4.

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.

•  Next PLC, a British multinational clothing, footwear and home products retailer, was the largest detractor from the Fund's performance during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

•  Intesa Sanpaolo SpA is the largest domestic bank in Italy, with a strong brand and capital position in the Italian market. The stock underperformed during the reporting period given the macroeconomic issues in Europe and specific issues related to the Italian banking system, which remains undercapitalized. As loan losses have increased, weaker Italian banks are suffering deposit outflows which created anxiety around potential contagion. Intesa Sanpaolo is experiencing capital inflows, as it is viewed as a higher quality bank (well capitalized with lower loan losses) and should emerge stronger as the Italian banking system goes through a difficult period. With the recent pullback in the stock, the company remains attractively valued for investors with a multi-year time horizon.

•  Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Inc. is a Japanese bank holding/financial services company. Its shares performed poorly given several macro headwinds, including weak Japanese economic growth, negative interest rates and rising costs. As a result of the weak economy, the Bank of Japan continues to keep interest rates at negative levels, which is hurting the company's profits. With the pace of rate cuts likely to subside, a renewed focus on improving capital and expense efficiency should provide support to the stock price near term.

•  EasyJet is a low-cost UK-based airline carrier. Sentiment for the company weakened post-Brexit, given concerns over slower European growth, currency issues and less travel-related spending due to recent terrorist attacks. In our view, the company is well run and management will be disciplined as they reconfigure their fleet capacity plans during this difficult period. EasyJet is in the process of upgrading its fleet of aircraft to larger, more fuel efficient A320s, which has both financing and operational advantages.

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

Portfolio highlights

•  KDDI Corp. provides a full range of telecommunication services, from fixed-line to cellular. The thesis for owning KDDI has centered on softening competition and improved operation/financial performance leading to margin recovery. Expectations have largely been met, as the competitive landscape has changed and all three Japanese telecommunication companies have turned their focus away from gaining market share to growing profits. KDDI's shares were further supported by a share buyback program that was announced in February 2016.

•  Shares of consumer goods company Unilever NV CVA rallied sharply during the reporting period as it continues to execute well. In addition, Unilever benefited from strong investor demand for stable companies with attractive dividend yields, along with currency and commodity tailwinds. Investors are underestimating Unilever's potential for organic earnings growth, as 35% of revenues come from emerging markets where customers are moving up the income ladder, enabling increased frequency of Unilever products, new user acquisitions and users trading up in terms of brand. We also believe that Unilever will be able to improve its return on capital over time through capital allocation, which prioritizes segments with capacity to grow and earn returns that are higher than the company's current average.

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

•  We sold the Fund's position in Next PLC during the reporting period. We had become concerned that a significant growth driver of company earnings in recent years—namely store credit sales—would continue to decline in the future due to new consumer legislation. While the company has a good franchise, the apparel marketplace in the UK is a difficult space to operate in and Brexit is going to make it even more challenging for consumer-facing businesses.

•  Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA is a Spanish banking group that operates in Europe, Latin America, the US, China and Turkey. Its shares fell sharply given the macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns in many of the regions it operates. As a result, loan losses have risen and loan growth has weakened, as asset quality in Spain and Turkey have become an issue. We continue to maintain a modest position in the company, as we believe it is structurally well-positioned in longer term, higher growth markets with a very strong brand. The stock remains attractively valued for investors with a long time horizon and, with a modest improvement in the macroeconomic and political environment, we expect losses and profitability to improve accordingly.

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 was 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 was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

Portfolio performance (unaudited)

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned -6.13% (Class A shares returned -11.28% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -5.91%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 2.93% 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 51; 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 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:

•  Digital Realty Trust made the largest positive contribution during the 12-month period. The real estate investment trust (REIT) has enjoyed improved return on invested capital and is well-placed to benefit from the growing worldwide demand for data centers. Digital Realty has aggressively strengthened its portfolio through new developments and acquisitions, particularly in the higher-margin overseas markets. In addition, the REIT should benefit from increased occupancy levels as older contracts expire and are replaced with higher-rent leases.

•  Several health care stocks contributed positively 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.

  – Heartware International was a top contributor during the reporting period. The company was purchased by Medtronic at a large premium to its stock price. The Heartware Ventricular Assist Device (HVAD) System offered great strategic value to a large established company in the cardiology space. We sold the stock at a large premium following the purchase offer from Medtronic.

•  The Fund benefited from a slight overweight to the consumer staples sector, as well as successful stock selection within the sector.

  – Philip Morris posted strong returns as foreign currency exchange issues became less of a headwind and investors re-focused on the company's solid fundamentals. Philip Morris's underlying business continues to show strength, with the potential for additional upside following the launch of its new iQOS product, a smokeless cigarette that is being released in 20 global markets in 2016. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Other positive contributors in the staples sector included Mondelez International, PepsiCo and Walgreens. The Fund's position in this less-volatile sector serves as a complement to the higher-beta stocks that we hold elsewhere in the portfolio. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  The Fund's position in Amazon.com also made a positive contribution during the 12 months. The company continued to execute at the highest level both in retail and in the cloud. Amazon appears to be building a true barrier to entry in the retailing space. As the company gains an ever-larger share of retail spending, the ensuing network effect increases the value of Amazon's platform. We believe the company will be able to generate margins over the longer term.

What didn't work:

•  As the health care sector struggled during the 12 months, our slight overweight and stock selection hindered Fund returns. The sector came under pressure from uncertainty about potential future regulation of prices, lowering the multiples for health care stocks.

  – Chimerix, Inc. was the largest stock detractor for the 12-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. We sold out of the name.

  – Alnylam Pharmaceuticals detracted from relative performance as biotechnology stocks experienced an indiscriminate sell-off in the face of increasing risk aversion among investors. The company's Ribonucleic acid (RNA) interference (RNAi) technology has the potential to effectively silence disease-causing genes. While it is still in the early stages of development, there have been significant value-creating advances over the past two years. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Shares of Envision Healthcare Holdings traded lower during the reporting period. The healthcare 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.

•  Certain individual stock positions made a negative contribution to Fund returns.

  – While Cobalt International Energy detracted during the 12 months, we believe the company is well-positioned from an asset value perspective. Investors are concerned about whether the company's sale of assets in Angola will take place. As oil prices stabilize, that sale should be de-risked. The company should be able to meet near-term capital plans even without the Angola sale.

  – United Continental Holdings experienced price weakness following the company's decision to deploy cash toward the purchase of additional airplanes at an attractive price. While investors were looking for a quicker return of cash to shareholders, the purchase made sound economic sense. We believe the company's and industry's focus on return on invested capital will reduce capacity problems going forward.

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. Our research indicates that 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. We believe the value of Alnylam's platform technology will rise substantially as scientists continue to discover disease-causing genes at an increasing rate.

•  The Walt Disney Company is a diversified international family entertainment and media enterprise. The company has five business segments: Media Networks, Parks & Resorts, Studio Entertainment, Consumer Products and Interactive Media. Disney has spent considerable capital on strategic acquisitions and projects. While new projects will continue, the level of spending should decline as the company shifts to harvesting returns from prior investments and returning cash to shareholders. In addition, Disney owns ESPN, the crown jewel in its content assets. According to our research, the network should weather any potential disruption to viewing patterns due to the immediacy of sports viewing. Finally, we like Disney's ability to refresh and reinvent content for new generations, a legacy dating back to the company's founding in the 1920s.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2015 prospectuses, supplemented from time to time, were as follows: Class A—1.56% and 0.95%; Class C—2.31% and 1.70%; Class P—1.07% and 0.70%. 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, 2017, do not exceed 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.70% for Class C shares and 0.70% for Class P shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, 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 was 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 was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance (unaudited)

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned -17.58% (Class A shares returned -22.10% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -17.39%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned -10.75% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 60; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Stock selection within the information technology sector made a positive contribution to Fund returns during the 12 months ended June 30, 2016.

  – 8x8, Inc. was the Fund's top performing stock during the reporting period. The company, which provides cloud-based communication services to businesses, saw its shares rise due to accelerated user growth and earnings. Investors are optimistic about 8x8's move up-market into the enterprise segment of the universal communications as a service (UCaaS) market. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Shares of Gigamon, a manufacturer of networking products and solutions, traded higher during the 12 months. Investors are increasingly confident about the strong trends within the identity and access management market. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Wix.com offers solutions that enable businesses, organizations and individuals to develop custom websites and applications. The company's shares were up after reporting first quarter results that showed improvement across subscriptions, new registered users and retention rates. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The Fund's position in InContact contributed positively to performance. The company, a provider of cloud-based customer service solutions, agreed in May 2016 to be acquired by Nice Systems for approximately $877 million.

•  Energy stocks contributed to Fund returns over the 12-month period. We hold several exploration and production (E&P) companies that proved to be excellent operators in a low-oil-price environment and have benefited as oil has rebounded.

  – Callon Petroleum performed well after the company raised additional equity and reiterated plans to grow production 20% in 2016 while reaching cash flow neutrality in the second quarter.

  – Diamondback Energy, an exploration and production company focused in the Permian Basin in West Texas, saw its shares rise with support from improvements in oil prices.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see pages 3-4.


57



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

What didn't work:

•  Stock selection within the health care sector detracted from the Fund's relative returns during the 12 months.

  – LDR Holding Corp. is a medical device company that provides proprietary surgical technologies for the treatment of patients suffering from spine disorders. Shares fell after the company announced sales and earnings for the third quarter that disappointed investors and raised concerns that LDR's overall growth profile was slowing. We sold the stock during the reporting period.

  – Pacira Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development of extended release drug candidates, traded lower after monthly sales data showed slower-than-expected sales growth for Exparel, the company's post-surgical pain product.

  – Shares of Acadia Healthcare declined as investors worried about the coming Brexit vote, the final decision from the UK merger and acquisition commission about the company's Priory transaction, and Acadia's leveraged balance sheet. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Cepheid, a molecular diagnostics company, missed its third-quarter earnings estimate and reduced its guidance for the fourth quarter. We sold the stock after the end of the reporting period.

  – Endologix manufactures devices used in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The company's shares fell after it announced plans to acquire a competitor, TriVascular Technologies, for cash and stock. Subsequently, we sold the stock prior to the end of the reporting period.

•  Certain consumer discretionary and industrials stocks negatively affected Fund performance.

  – ClubCorp Holdings owns private golf and country clubs, as well as alumni clubs, in the US. The company's headquarters and the majority of its properties are located in Texas. The stock came under pressure due to concerns about the impact of declining oil prices on its customer base. We continue to hold the stock, and have added to the Fund's position.

  – Asbury Automotive, which owns a network of car dealerships, detracted from returns during the 12 months. The stock suffered from concerns that the operating environment would erode Asbury's margins, as well as fears that we are in the late stages of the automotive cycle. We sold the stock during the reporting period.

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.

•  Gigamon provides high-density networking traffic switches that replicate, filter, stream, monitor, analyze and record information. The company's customers include enterprises, data centers and service providers worldwide. Increasing data speeds, virtualization complexity and a growing number of security breaches are increasing demand for the improved visibility that Gigamon's solutions can provide. We believe the company will see additional growth from (1) enhancing the functionality and scalability of its solutions, (2) deepening existing relationships, and (3) investing in its global distribution network.

•  Wix.com is a web platform that is experiencing rapid growth from the continued move online by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). In today's world, web sites have become crucial for all businesses. Wix.com provides SMBs with an easy-to-use solution that incorporates not only web design but full e-commerce capabilities.

•  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. 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 was 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 was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

Portfolio performance (unaudited)

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, Class A shares of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 4.62% (Class A shares returned 0.73% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 4.87%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 6.00% 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 68; 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 index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a positive return during the reporting period but underperformed the benchmark, primarily due to its corporate credit allocation and securitized positioning.

The Fund used derivatives during the reporting period. Certain interest rate derivatives were utilized to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Credit derivatives (such as credit default swaps and options on credit default swaps) were used to implement specific credit-related investment strategies as part of the Fund's sector allocation and security selection. Throughout the period, the Fund engaged in foreign exchange forwards to help implement its active currency positions. While derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, they are just one of the tools we use to manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies.

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 reporting period, the Fund was long the US dollar versus short the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar, which benefited returns.

•  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 period, as shorter-term yields declined less than longer-term yields given strong overseas demand for the latter.

What didn't work:

•  The Fund's allocation to corporate credit detracted from performance during the reporting period. At various times during the reporting period the Fund was overweight credit as corporate spreads widened. The main detractors came from commodity-related sub-sectors.

•  The Fund's securitized positioning detracted from performance. Generally, sector allocation and security selection within the agency mortgage-backed security and commercial mortgage-backed security sectors 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  Effective June 1, 2016, maximum sales charge for Class A shares changed from 4.50% to 3.75%. All "after deducting maximum sales charge" returns shown above reflect the deduction of 3.75% sales charge. 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 was 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 was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.

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

a  In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of investments.

At June 30, 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Portfolio footnotes

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at June 30, 2016.

2  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2016, the value of these securities amounted to $3,899,086 or 10.22% of net assets.

3  Step bond—Coupon rate increases in increments to maturity. Rate disclosed is as of June 30, 2016. Maturity date disclosed is the ultimate maturity date.

4  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of June 30, 2016 and changes periodically.

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

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

Portfolio of investments

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

8  Illiquid investment as of June 30, 2016.

9  If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap agreement less the recovery value of the referenced obligation.

10  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.

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

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

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

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

UBS Total Return Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ending June 30, 2016, Class P shares of the UBS Total Return Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 0.95%. For comparison purposes, the Barclays US Aggregate Index (the "Index") returned 6.00%. (Please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares, while index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

Special Note

UBS Total Return Bond Fund is a newly organized open-end mutual fund. The Fund's Class P shares acquired the assets and liabilities of Fort Dearborn Income Securities, Inc., a closed-end fund (the "Predecessor Fund"), prior to the opening of business on May 23, 2016. The Predecessor Fund was also managed by the Advisor, and the day-to-day management of, and investment decisions for, the Fund and the Predecessor Fund are made by the same portfolio management team. The Funds had generally similar investment objectives and strategies. For the purpose of this report, we will comment on: (1) the performance of Fort Dearborn Income Securities, Inc. for the period July 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016, (2) the performance of Fort Dearborn Income Securities, Inc. for the month of May 2016 as it began transitioning its portfolio in anticipation of the reorganization into UBS Total Return Bond Fund and (3) key factors impacting the performance of UBS Total Return Bond Fund for the month of June 2016.

Portfolio performance summary (Predecessor Fund: July 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016)1

What worked:

•  Yield curve positioning contributed to results.

  • A yield curve flattening bias was beneficial as we had an overweight to the long end of the curve and an underweight to the short end of the curve.

•  Credit beta hedging also contributed to performance.

  • While the Fund's allocation to corporate debt generally detracted from performance, certain credit risk reducing positions mitigated the impact. During bouts of elevated risk aversion, these credit hedging strategies generated positive returns.

•  Allocations to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") and selection of foreign agency securities were positive for performance.

What didn't work:

•  Allocation and security selection within corporate credit were negative for results.

  • The Fund's allocation to both investment grade and high yield corporate debt was negative for performance as corporate spreads widened during the period. General security selection in commodity-related issuers detracted from performance, primarily in the second half of 2015 as a result of a steep decline in the price of oil.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see pages 3-4.

UBS Total Return Bond Fund

•  Duration positioning detracted from results.2

  • Duration was tactically adjusted, but was shorter than that of the Index during the period. Duration underweight was not rewarded as rates moved lower during the period.

•  The Fund's securitized exposure was a headwind for performance.

  • An overweight allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") contributed to returns, but was not enough to offset weakness in security selection. Additionally, the Fund's allocation to agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") was negative for results.

Use of derivatives

• Interest rate swaps, futures and options were utilized to more effectively manage duration and yield curve positioning. Overall, duration management strategies detracted from results during the period.

• Credit derivatives, such as credit default swaps and options on credit default swaps, were utilized to manage exposure across different fixed income sectors. These instruments were used to help reduce risk in the portfolio, but also to add exposure to areas we found attractive, and offered an opportunity to boost net investment income. Overall, the use of these instruments was generally positive for performance during the period.

• Use of currency instruments, such as foreign exchange forward positions, was quite limited during the period given that the Predecessor Fund sought to hedge its foreign currency-denominated bond positions back to US dollars.

Portfolio summary (Predecessor Fund: May 2016)

Following shareholder approval of the proposal to reorganize the Predecessor Fund into UBS Total Return Bond Fund, the portfolio underwent several changes in May to prepare for the conversion to an open-end fund structure:

• Reduced allocation to corporate debt.

• Added to its exposure in agency MBS.

• Increased allocation to asset-backed securities ("ABS") and TIPS.

• Bolstered its overall liquidity profile by adding to existing US Treasury and cash positions in anticipation of potential outflows.

Portfolio summary (the Fund: June 2016)

For the month of June, the Fund modestly lagged the Index:

• Overall duration underweight positioning was not rewarded as government bond yields continued to decline over the month.

• Spread management moderately detracted from results, largely stemming from CMBS and agency MBS allocations.

2  Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rates, or the change in the value of a security or portfolio that will result from a 1% change in interest rates.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios as in the May 23, 2016 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—0.81% and 0.50%. 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, 2017, do not exceed 0.50% for Class P shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, UBS AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  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.

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

For UBS Total Return Bond Fund, the Board of Trustees approved a temporary redemption fee of 2.00% following the reorganization of Fort Dearborn Income Securities, Inc. with the Fund. The temporary redemption fee will remain in effect for 90 days following the date of the reorganization (or until August 22, 2016).

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

Portfolio footnotes

1  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2016, the value of these securities amounted to $14,051,268 or 11.07% of net assets.

2  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of June 30, 2016 and changes periodically.

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

4  Security was purchased pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside of the United States. Such a security cannot be sold in the United States without either an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant to an exemption from registration. At June 30, 2016, the value of this security amounted to $431,363 or 0.34% 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.

6  Illiquid investment as of June 30, 2016.

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

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

UBS Municipal Bond Fund

Portfolio performance (unaudited)

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, Class A shares of UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") gained 7.74% (Class A shares returned 5.30% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 8.01%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), returned 7.65%, and the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1-17) Index advanced 7.61% 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 102; 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 index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a positive return during the reporting period and outperformed the benchmark, primarily due to its yield curve positioning.

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. In order of magnitude, the Fund's overweights to the 15–20 year, 7–10 year and 3–5 year portions of the municipal curve were the most 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.)

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

•  Security selection in the transportation and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue sectors were additive for results.

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.

•  An underweight to the hospital sector detracted from results as it outperformed 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 was 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 was 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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit www.ubs.com/us-mutualfundperformance.

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

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

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

Actual expenses

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

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

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

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

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

Notes to financial statements

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

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

The Trust has 8 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation 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 Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Total Return 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, except UBS Total Return Bond Fund, which currently only offers 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.

The Class P shares of UBS Total Return Bond Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of Fort Dearborn Income Securities, Inc., a closed-end management investment company organized as a Illinois corporation (the "Predecessor Fund"), prior to the opening of business on May 23, 2016 (the "Reorganization"). The Fund's investment advisor, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (formerly, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.) ("UBS AM", or the "Advisor"), was the advisor for the Predecessor Fund, and the day-to-day management of, and investment decisions for, the Fund and the Predecessor Fund are made by the same portfolio managers. The Funds have generally similar investment objectives and strategies. As such, the Predecessor Fund was designed as accounting survivor of the Reorganization. The Fund's Class P shares have adopted the historical performance of the Predecessor Fund.

In connection with the Reorganization, the fiscal year end for UBS Total Return Bond Fund has changed from September 30th to June 30th. As such, the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 for UBS Total Return Bond Fund reflects the nine month period from October 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

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.

Notes to financial statements

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.

In August 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"). The update provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the disclosures in the financial statements.

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.

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 AM, 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 invest-


147



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

ment'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 investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value. All investments quoted in foreign currencies are valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Funds' custodian.

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

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

The Board has delegated to the UBS 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.


148



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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.

In May 2015 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)" ("ASU 2015-07"). The modification removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. Early application is permitted and the Trust has elected to adopt ASU 2015-07 early. A separate column has been added to the fair value hierarchy table for investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient; this is intended to permit reconciliation to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of investments.

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

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


149



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of June 30, 2016 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2016, 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, except swap agreements for UBS Total Return Bond Fund for which the average volume during the period was higher than period end.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016 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 International Sustainable Equity Fund had net realized loss of $60,864 on forward foreign currency contracts related to foreign exchange risk.

UBS Municipal Bond Fund had net realized gain of $14,846 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 off-setting 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.

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


158



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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


159



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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.

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.

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


160



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 June 30, 2016 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swaps on corporate issues—sell protection" and "Credit default swaps on credit indices—sell protection" in the Notes to Portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

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

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

A Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements. 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


161



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Total Return Bond Fund was $1,457,400 and $2,415,120, respectively.

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

K. Short sales: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

L. Dividends and distributions: It is each Fund's (except UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Total Return Bond Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund) policy is to distribute its respective net investment income, if any, annually. It is the policy of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Total Return 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 predominately speculative with respect to an issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations. Lower-quality bonds are more likely to be subject to an issuer's default or downgrade than investment grade (higher-quality) bonds.

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 year ended June 30, 2016, 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: Effective August 3, 2015, the redemption fee of 1.00% imposed by each class of each series of The UBS Funds, with the exception of UBS Total Return Bond Fund, was eliminated. Prior to August 3, 2015 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 UBS Total Return Bond Fund, the Board of Trustees approved a temporary redemption fee of 2.00% following the reorganization of Fort Dearborn Income Securities, Inc. with the Fund. The temporary redemption fee will remain in effect for 90 days following the date of the reorganization (or until August 22, 2016). This amount was paid to the applicable Fund. The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the year ended June 30, 2016, redemption fees represent less than $0.005 per share.

2. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates

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

5. Securities lending

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


168



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

Each Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. 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.

Effective June 15, 2016, cash collateral received is invested in JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which is included in each Fund's Portfolio of investments. Prior to that, cash collateral received was invested in Private Money Market. At June 30, 2016, 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 June 30, 2016 was as follows:

7. Federal income taxes

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

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 were as follows:

The difference between book and tax basis net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments is primarily attributable to mark to market of passive foreign investment companies, mark to market on certain derivative instruments, nontaxable special dividends, return of capital from investments in real estate investment trusts and tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

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


171

Notes to financial statements

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, 2016, the following Funds had post-enactment net capital losses that will be carried forward indefinitely, as follows:

Fund   Short-term

These differences are primarily due to the tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, paydown gains and losses, tax character of distributions, the tax treatment of certain derivatives, non-taxable special dividends, passive foreign investment company gains and losses, net operating losses and partnership adjustments.

ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes—Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded, as of June 30, 2016, 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, 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 fiscal period ended June 30, 2016, 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. Effective October 22, 2015, commitment fees have been allocated among the Funds in the Committed Credit Facility as follows: 50% of the allocation is based on the relative asset size of Funds and the other 50% of the allocation is based on utilization. Prior to October 22, 2015, the Funds paid commitment fees,

which were allocated among the Funds in the Committed Credit Facility pro rata, based on the relative asset size of Funds. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the following Funds had borrowings as follows:

10. Contribution from Advisor

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Advisor reimbursed UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond for trading and operational errors in the amounts of $86,068, $5,471 and $774, 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, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund in the United Kingdom. As a result, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Advisor reimbursed the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund $128,212, $316,557 and $34,326, respectively, which was determined to be the value of the ineligible services paid for from the Funds' dealing commissions.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS 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 Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Total Return Bond Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund (eight of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2016, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS 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 Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Total Return Bond Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund at June 30, 2016, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), held on June 2 and 3, 2016 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Municipal Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on May 24, 2016, June 2, 2016 and June 3, 2016, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

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

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services.

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

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

vided to each Fund were consistent with the operational requirements of each Fund, and met the needs of the Fund's shareholders.

Performance.

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

In discussing the performance of the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor explained that the Fund's positions in European and Japanese equities were the primary reasons for the Fund's underperformance as compared to its peer universe. The Advisor noted that a sharp decline in risk sentiment over the past year had negatively impacted the Fund's positions. The Advisor then discussed recent changes in investment leadership that should help to address the performance issues of the Fund.

In explaining the performance of the UBS Global Allocation Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of the Fund over the past year. The Advisor noted that both market allocation and security selection detracted from the Fund's performance over the past year. The Advisor explained that the Fund's equity positions had the most negative effect on the Fund's returns. The Advisor discussed recent changes in investment leadership that should help to address the performance issues of the Fund.

The Advisor then discussed the performance of the UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund. The Advisor noted that there was a transition in strategy during the past year from global sustainable equity to international sustainable equity. The Advisor explained that the Fund's overweight to cyclical sectors, which underperform during an economic downturn, negatively impacted performance. The Advisor noted that as markets and investor sentiment improved, the Fund's performance improved as well. For the three months ended May 31, 2016, the UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund outperformed its Broadridge peer group average.

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund's weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was mainly attributable to stock selection in the healthcare and information technology sectors. The Advisor noted that the Fund was negatively affected by the flight from risk and that as investor sentiment improved, the performance of the Fund's holdings rebounded. For the three months ended May 31, 2016, the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund outperformed its Broadridge peer group average. The Advisor also noted that while the Fund underperformed its peers for the one-year performance period, its longer term performance was more in-line with its peers.

In discussing the performance of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor explained that the Fund's stock selection was the primary reason for the Fund's underperformance as compared to its peer universe. The Advisor noted that the positions that the Fund held in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors were the biggest detractors from performance. The Advisor noted that similar to the other equity strategies, as investor risk appetite returned, the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's performance improved. For the three months ended May 31, 2016, the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund outperformed its Broadridge peer group average.

The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund with respect to the Fund's peers for the one-year performance period. The Advisor explained that the Fund's selection in corporate debt securities, particularly commodities related issuers, was one of the primary detractors from performance. The Advisor noted that while the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund's performance lagged its peers for the one-year performance period, the Fund had better comparative performance for the three-year and five-year performance periods, ranking in the second quintile in each period.

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

Fund Fees and Expenses.

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

The Board first discussed the management fee and expenses of the UBS Global Allocation Fund. It was noted that the contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS Global Allocation Fund were each higher than the medians in its Broadridge expense group. The Advisor noted that the Board was being asked to approve a new fee waiver and expense cap arrangement for the Fund effective October 28, 2016, that provides for a higher level of fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Advisor. The Advisor reported that under this new arrangement, the total expenses for the UBS Global Allocation Fund are expected to be comparable or lower than, the median of the Broadridge expense group.

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund. It was noted that both the actual and contractual management fee of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund was higher than the medians of the Fund's Broadridge expense group. The Board noted that while the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Broadridge expense group, the Fund's total expenses were at the median of the Fund's Broadridge expense group, resulting in the total cost to investors being very competitive.

The Board next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the contractual management fee was higher than the median in its Broadridge expense group. The Advisor noted, however, that the actual management fee and total expenses for the Fund were each below the median of the Fund's Broadridge expense group.

The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

The Board next considered that the management fee of the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund was higher than the median of its Broadridge expense group on a contractual basis, but noted that the Fund's actual management fee compared favorably with the Fund's peers placing in the first quintile of the Broadridge expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund's total expenses were lower than the median of the Fund's expense group, placing in the first quintile of its expense group.

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

With respect to the fees and expenses of the UBS Municipal Bond Fund, the Advisor noted that the Fund was above the median of its Broadridge expense group with respect to contractual management fees. The Advisor, however, also noted that the Fund's actual management fee was lower than the median of its Broadridge expense group, placing in the first quintile of its expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Municipal Bond Fund had total expenses that were in the first quintile of its Broadridge expense group.

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

Costs and Profitability.

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

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

Economies of Scale.

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

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

(e)          (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 



 

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

 

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

 

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