President's letter

February 17, 2017

Dear Shareholder,

After Donald Trump's surprise victory in the US presidential election, many investors may wonder about the implications for financial markets. We believe that political developments in Washington, D.C. will likely have two distinct implications for investors over the coming year. The first relates to how markets will react to new government policies, especially budget and protectionist trade policies that may influence interest rate and inflation expectations. The second pertains to federal regulatory changes that will likely continue to shape the way we invest. In light of the likely policy developments ahead, we continue to believe in the importance of investment planning that is oriented around long-term goals.

The push-and-pull relationship between central bank interest rate policy and government spending is likely to define the challenge for markets in 2017. For most of 2016, market participants did not regard low interest rates, slow demand growth or low inflation as likely to change any time soon. But with his campaign commitment to use government spending and lower tax rates to spur demand growth, President Trump's administration appears to have altered the policy balance, and the "lower interest rates for longer" narrative. Even prior to recent political developments, the structural imbalances and unintended consequences caused by low interest rates and quantitative easing were starting to be seen by some market observers as outweighing the benefits. Consequently, we see increased government spending on the horizon—perhaps in the form of fiscal stimulus aimed at infrastructure development. Combined with protectionist trade policies, we believe that increased fiscal stimulus is potentially inflationary and that this developing trend could have a significant impact on financial markets over the coming year.

It is often the case that incoming Presidential administrations move to halt or delay a predecessor's unfinished regulatory projects—particularly when there is a shift in the party that controls the executive branch. This theme may prove especially relevant as the Trump administration settles in. President Trump has stated his commitment to deregulation across vast and varying sectors of the economy. Some deregulation may focus on the financial industry, so investors should watch for notices about regulatory changes. We encourage you to carefully read any mail that you receive pertaining to your investments, and to reach-out to your financial advisor with any questions that you may have.

As we embark on 2017, it may be helpful to remember the axiom that changes also bring opportunities. For investors, this is doubly true. While government policies may influence financial markets, they may also create opportunities for active asset managers to exploit on shareholders' behalf. And, as regulatory changes to the investment environment may cause some confusion, they may also create an opportunity to engage with your advisor on your long-term investment plan. We believe that there are compelling opportunities across global asset classes and that the right strategies in the hands of skilled investment professionals have the power to deliver better investment outcomes. At UBS Asset Management, we embrace the responsibility of helping our clients meet their financial objectives and thank you for your continued trust in our skill and commitment to serve you.

The markets in review

A continued modest economic expansion

The US economy faced a number of headwinds but overcame these challenges and continued to expand during the reporting period. That being said, the overall pace was fairly tepid. The US Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") grew at a 0.8% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016. GDP growth then improved to 3.5% during the third quarter—the strongest reading since the third quarter of 2014. Finally, the Commerce Department's initial reading showed that fourth-quarter 2016 GDP grew 1.9%.1

After taking its first step to normalizing monetary policy in late 2015, the US Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") kept rates unchanged during its first seven meetings in 2016. Then, as widely anticipated, the Fed raised interest rates 0.25% in December 2016 to a range between 0.50% and 0.75%. In its statement following the December 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. However, the actual path of the federal funds rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data."

From a global perspective, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") maintained its forecast for generally modest growth. In the IMF's October 2016 World Economic Outlook Update it said, "The forces shaping the global outlook—both those operating over the short term and those operating over the long term—point to subdued growth for 2016 and a gradual recovery thereafter, as well as to downside risks." From a regional perspective, the IMF estimates 2017 growth in the eurozone will be 1.5%, versus 1.7% in 2016. Japan's economy is expected to expand 0.6% in 2017, compared to 0.5% in 2016. Elsewhere, the IMF projects that overall growth in emerging market countries will be 4.6% in 2017, versus 4.2% in 2016.

Global equities generate positive results

The global equity market was highly volatile at times but produced positive results during the reporting period. Global equities rallied sharply over the first half of the period as commodity prices rose and global central banks continued to pursue their highly accommodative monetary policies. After a period of weakness in October 2016, US equities rallied sharply following the November elections given expectations for improving growth due to increased infrastructure spending in the Trump administration. However, international equities posted mixed results over the last two months of the year. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 7.82% for the six months ended December 31, 2016. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 rose 5.67% during the period, while emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 returned 4.49% for the same period.

1  Based on the Commerce Department's initial estimate announced on January 27, 2017, after the reporting period had ended.

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

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

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

The markets in review

The overall fixed income market produced weak results

The global fixed income market produced generally weak results during the reporting period. In the US, Treasury yields moved sharply higher after the November elections as investors anticipated an uptick in growth and inflation. Additionally, in December the Fed increased its projection for the number of rate hikes it would make in 2017. For the six-month period, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury rose from 1.49% to 2.45% (bond yields and prices move in the opposite direction). The overall US bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 declined 2.53% for the six months ended December 31, 2016. Returns of riskier fixed income securities were mixed. High yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index,6 gained 7.46% during the reporting period. In contrast, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 declined 0.64% during the same period.

5  The Bloomberg 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

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned 1.95% (Class A shares returned -3.68% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 2.07%. For purposes of comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned -1.27% during the same time period, the MSCI World Index (net) returned 6.81%, and the Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 0.12%. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 7; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund produced a positive absolute return during the reporting period, driven by both market and currency 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, added to performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

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

  – The Fund's long exposure to global equities (US, developed ex-US and emerging markets) contributed to performance over the reporting period. A number of equity markets ended 2016 at all-time highs amid improving economic data and resurgent investor confidence.

  – The Fund benefited from certain relative value trades, such as being long developed ex-US equities versus US equities and long Russell 1000 Value versus S&P 500. Long-forgotten value stocks performed strongly following the outcome of the US Presidential election, and developed ex-US equities strengthened amid a reduction in geopolitical risks and further commitments to accommodative monetary policy.

•  Overall, the Fund's fixed income positions were positive for performance.

  – The Fund's preference for global corporate bonds and European high yield bonds added value. Global yields rose and spreads compressed during the reporting period.

  – The Fund benefited from certain relative value trades, such as long German bunds versus French government bonds and long U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") versus U.S. Treasuries.

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

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

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

  – The Fund's long positions in the US dollar relative to the euro and the New Zealand dollar contributed to performance. Both positions benefited from a stronger US dollar amid US reflation, better economic growth expectations and a Federal Reserve Board (Fed) rate hike in December 2016.

  – The Fund's long position in the Indian rupee relative to the Korean won proved beneficial for performance. The rupee was more resilient during this volatile time period amid Reserve Bank of India interventions and strong macro fundamentals.

What didn't work:

•  Certain equity positions detracted from results.

  – A preference for emerging market equities over US equities and emerging market minimum volatility equities over broad emerging market equities detracted from performance. Relative to other global markets, emerging market equities came under pressure amid increased uncertainty surrounding the results of the US presidential election.

  – The Fund's relative value trade of long US versus Canadian equities detracted from performance. Canadian energy and financial stocks performed particularly well in the wake of rising interest rates and a rebound in crude oil prices from earlier year lows.

•  Certain fixed income positions detracted from results.

  – The Fund's long exposure to Australian duration detracted from results as the economy fared better than expected given lower commodity prices. This resulted in fewer rate cuts than expected.

  – The Fund's performance was negatively impacted by certain relative value trades, such as long positions in U.S. Treasuries versus both Italian and German government bonds. U.S. Treasury yields rose sharply in the last two months of the year amid greater inflation expectations and a revision in anticipated moves by the US Fed.

•  Certain currency trades performed poorly during the reporting period.

  – The largest detractor from performance was the Fund's overweight in the Mexican peso relative to the Canadian dollar. Despite solid fundamentals, the peso struggled amid protectionist and trade concerns upon the result of the US presidential election.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2016 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.46% and 1.36%; Class C—2.24% and 2.11%; Class P—1.23% 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., 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, 2017, 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 to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the 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 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Portfolio footnotes

1  Security 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.

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.

3  Variable or floating rate security. The interest rate shown is the current rate at the period end and changes periodically.

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

5  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at the period end.

6  Amount represents less than 0.005%.

7  Illiquid investment at the period end.

8  Rate shown is the discount rate at the date of purchase unless otherwise noted.

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

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

11  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 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 obligation.

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

UBS Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") increased 3.33% (Class A shares returned -2.37% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares increased 3.37%. In contrast, the Fund's benchmark, the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD), returned 2.75% during the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) returned 6.55% and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) returned -2.78%. (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 24; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund produced a positive absolute return during the reporting period and outperformed the benchmark. Positive performance was primarily due to our active market and currency 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, added to performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Overall active equity positions added to performance.

  – The Fund's long exposure to global equities (US, developed ex-US and emerging markets) contributed to performance over the reporting period. A number of equity markets ended 2016 at all-time highs amid improving economic data and resurgent investor confidence.

  – The Fund also benefited from certain relative value trades, such as being long developed ex-US equities versus US equities and long Russell 1000 Value versus S&P 500. Long-forgotten value stocks performed strongly following the outcome of the US Presidential election and developed ex-US equities strengthened amid a reduction in geopolitical risks and further commitments to accommodative monetary policy.

•  Certain active fixed income positions were positive for performance.

  – The Fund's preference for global corporate bonds over sovereigns added value. Global yields rose and credit spreads compressed during the reporting period.

  – The Fund benefited from certain relative value trades, such as long German bunds versus French government bonds.

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

UBS Global Allocation Fund

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

  – The Fund maintained a preference for the US dollar relative to the euro and the New Zealand dollar. Both positions benefited from a stronger US dollar amid US reflation, better economic growth expectations and a Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") rate hike in December 2016.

  – The Fund maintained an overweight to the Indian rupee relative to the Taiwanese dollar. This was beneficial for performance as the rupee was more resilient during this volatile time period amid Reserve Bank of India interventions and strong macro fundamentals.

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

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

What didn't work:

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

  – A preference for emerging market equities over US equities and emerging market minimum volatility equities over broad emerging market equities detracted from performance. Relative to other global markets, emerging market equities came under pressure amid increased uncertainty surrounding the results of the US presidential election.

  – The Fund's relative value trade of long Spanish versus Italian equities detracted from performance. We expected the Spanish market to outperform on the back of relative political and economic momentum. We decided to close the position after Mariano Rajoy was re-elected Prime Minister of Spain, and Prime Minister Mateo Renzi of Italy resigned after a national referendum in that country.

•  Certain fixed income allocations detracted from results.

  – The Fund's long exposure to Australian duration detracted from results as the economy fared better than expected given lower commodity prices. This resulted in fewer rate cuts than expected.

  – The Fund's performance was negatively impacted by an allocation to emerging market debt and certain relative value trades, such as long US Treasuries versus Italian government bonds.

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

  – The largest detractor from performance was the Fund's overweight in the Mexican peso relative to the Canadian dollar. Despite solid fundamentals, the peso struggled amid protectionist and trade concerns upon the result of the US presidential election.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2016 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.46% and 1.30%; Class C—2.25% and 2.05%; Class P—1.19% and 1.05%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. Effective October 28, 2016, the Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS 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 1.20% for Class A shares, 1.95% for Class C shares and 0.95% for Class P shares; Prior to October 28, 2016 UBS Global Allocation Fund's expense caps were 1.35%, 2.10% and 1.10% for Class A, C, and P shares, respectively. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the 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 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

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.

2  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at the period end.

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.

4  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  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 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 obligation.

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

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

UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, Class A shares of UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 4.95% (Class A shares returned -0.84% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 5.09%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World ex USA Index (net) (the "Index"), returned 5.91%. (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 37; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a positive absolute return and underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to sector allocation. Stock selection was a drag on results, albeit to a small extent.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

  • Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and financials sectors contributed to performance.

  • Norsk Hydro is an aluminum manufacturer and renewable energy producer. The company benefited from higher growth expectations, as well as expectations of increased US infrastructure investments following Donald Trump's election in the US.

  • Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group is a Japanese bank holding/financial services company. The company presented a new medium-term plan, including improvements in governance, capital allocation policy and headcount reduction.

  • Ashtead Group is a construction and industrial equipment rental company with networks in the US and UK. Ashtead Group has a strong financial position and, compared with smaller competitors, benefits from better buying power and fleet availability. We expect the non-residential construction market to continue to grow in the US, and Ashtead Group is expected to benefit with its dominant position in the tool rental market.

  • Nordea Bank is a universal pan-Nordic bank with a diversified business model. The management team increased the company's dividend distribution rate and currently offers a 12% return on equity, which is expected to improve due to additional cost cutting. A higher-than-expected capital ratio for the third quarter of 2016 improved investors' confidence in the dividend policy.

  • From a sector allocation perspective, average underweights to consumer staples and utilities contributed to the Fund's performance. On average, overweights to information technology and financials were also beneficial for results.

What didn't work:

  • Stock selection in the energy, information technology and consumer staples sectors detracted from performance during the reporting period.

  • Capita provides technology and back-office support solutions for businesses and public services. The UK-based company suffered from the "Brexit" vote and expectations of further cuts in public spending. We met with the new Chairman in October 2016 to understand the Board's view on its current challenges and its strategic position, which reaffirmed our positive longer-term outlook for the company.

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

UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund

  • Santos Limited is a gas producer with operations in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. Highly leveraged, the company suffered from the recent low oil-price environment but delivered on cost cutting and divestment initiatives in 2016. The company shows strong efforts to manage its environmental impact and performs well on safety metrics.

  • KDDI Corp. provides a full range of telecommunication services in Japan, from fixed line to cellular. The company presented mixed results during the reporting period as the number of subscribers declined. Despite lower revenue due to pressure for lower tariff plans, we expect lower operating expenditures that lead to higher margins. We also expect a continued increase in its dividend pay-out.

  • Average overweights to the healthcare and real estate sectors, as well as underweights to the consumer discretionary and energy sectors, detracted from the Fund's performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio highlights

•  Zurich Insurance provides a full range of insurance services, as well as non-insurance financial products such as mutual funds. The thesis for owning Zurich Insurance is that we expect operating improvement in general insurance and cost reduction results. Zurich Insurance is a cash-driven company, with more than 2.4 billion Swiss francs in cash remittance in 2016.

•  Weir Group is an engineering company providing solutions to customers in the minerals, oil and gas, and power markets. Despite short-term trading conditions, Weir Group remains a high-quality business exposed to attractive long-term structural trends. We expect its return on equity and margins to recover in the upcoming years. The company is well-managed, and profitability remained reasonable during the downturn in oil prices.

•  During the reporting period, we initiated new positions in Nintendo, Tullow, SK Hynix, Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize, Bank Central Asia and Cia de Saneamento Basico do Estado de Sao Paulo. We sold the Fund's positions in NXP Semiconductor, Olympus, Mahindra & Mahindra, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, ARM and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2016 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.37% and 1.25%; Class C—3.15% and 2.00%; Class P—2.12% 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., 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.

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

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 10.46% (Class A shares returned 4.40% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 10.55%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 8.01% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 44; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund outperformed the Index primarily due to stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Stock selection within the information technology sector was the largest driver of outperformance during the six months ended December 31, 2016.

  – Micron Technology was the top stock contributor for the reporting period. The company's outperformance was driven by a continued recovery in both DRAM and NAND Flash memory pricing. This in turn resulted from more rational supply and pricing practices in the industry, as well as increased demand for memory. Micron raised earnings guidance during the period after experiencing stronger-than-expected demand in several segments.

  – Western Digital outperformed on the basis of a positive pre-earnings announcement for the September 2016 quarter. The company raised guidance on revenues, gross margins and earnings per share. It also repriced some of its debt at a lower interest rate, further boosting long-term earnings power. Western Digital also benefited from improving demand and pricing power in the NAND Flash memory market, as smartphone companies continue to offer larger configurations to their customers.

•  Several financial stocks made a positive contribution to Fund performance. The sector benefited from the rise in interest rates that followed the US presidential election.

  – Lincoln National rallied following a strong quarterly earnings report in which the life insurer reported solid results across its four main operating segments and indicated a greater-than-expected excess capital position. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – MetLife performed well based on the market's anticipation of potential deregulation, which should benefit insurance companies as a whole.

  – US Bancorp rallied following a quarterly earnings report that indicated strong deposit growth and continued best-in-class operating margins for the company.

•  In addition, stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector, as well as an underweight to utilities, contributed positively to Fund performance.

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


41



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

What didn't work:

•  Philip Morris was the largest detractor from Fund performance during the six months. The company's stock experienced a pullback after the results of the presidential election led to a strengthening of the US dollar. Investors are concerned that currency headwinds could affect the company going forward. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Stock selection in the real estate sector made a negative contribution to Fund returns.

  – Simon Property Group detracted from relative performance. Like many real estate investment trusts (REITs), Simon underperformed over the six months due to a "risk-on" market environment that left defensive stocks out of favor. We continue to find this name attractive. While there is downward pressure, in general, around mall traffic in the US, Simon has exposure to higher-end malls, which we believe will survive and thrive in this environment.

  – Digital Realty Trust also lagged during the period. We sold out of the position before year-end 2016.

•  Although the Fund benefited from strong stock selection within the energy sector, Gulfport Energy was a rare detractor for the reporting period. The company underperformed after announcing its acquisition of Vitruvian, which was not well-received by investors. The market was also concerned about the sudden shift from Gulfport's Utica core basin to a new basin, which seemed to indicate a loss of focus and overdiversification.

•  The Fund's position in Alnylam Pharmaceuticals was negative for performance. The company's novel treatment for amyloidosis, an RNA-silencing platform known as Revusiran, was discontinued based on safety concerns. However, Alnylam has seven other programs in mid- to late-stage clinical trials, all of which use newer generation technologies. We continue to believe in Alnylam's platform, and we anticipate that good results will support higher stock prices.

•  An overweight to consumer staples stocks and stock selection within the financial sector were negative contributors, as well.

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 beverage products worldwide. The company's cookies and chocolate products 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), as well as 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.


42



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Lincoln National continues to operate effectively despite the challenging low-interest-rate environment. Price increases in the group insurance business should improve margins, as should the fee-based accumulation businesses. We believe the market is overlooking the stable returns from the company's variable annuity business, which has never offered the more lucrative guarantees that are now causing headaches and weak results for competitors. We expect that Lincoln National will continue to use free cash flow to repurchase shares, which is accretive to book value given the stock's significant discount to book value per share.

• The fundamentally improved competitive position of General Motors allows the company to earn a return close to its cost of capital in what is still a structurally challenged industry. This is an asset-heavy company that has attractive opportunities to optimize its balance sheet, deploy capital strategically and increase operating efficiency. The demand cycle for autos appears to have room to run for several years, barring a significant decline in global growth. GM's product refresh cycle should boost medium-term demand, pricing and brand image.

The Walt Disney Company has spent considerable capital recently on strategic acquisitions like Lucasfilm and Marvel, as well as capital projects like new cruise ships and theme park expansions at the Magic Kingdom and Disney California Adventure. 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. Disney has superior content in a changing media distributions model. ESPN is the crown jewel in its content assets and should be able to weather any potential disruption to viewing patterns because of 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, 2016 prospectuses, supplemented from time to time, were as follows: Class A—1.93% and 0.95%; Class C—2.68% and 1.70%; Class P—1.64% 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. Effective March 23, 2016, the Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS 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; prior to March 23, 2016, the fees were not to exceed 1.20% for Class A shares, 1.95% for Class C shares and 0.95% for Class P shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the 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.

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

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned 13.68% (Class A shares returned 7.45% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 13.85%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned 13.12% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 52; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Wix.com was the Fund's top performing stock during the six months ended December 31, 2016.

  – Wix.com is an operator and developer of a web platform that allows businesses and individuals to develop customized websites and applications. The company's share price was up sharply after Wix.com reported sales and earnings ahead of expectations and raised guidance for the year. The quality and value of Wix.com's offering was evidenced by strong conversions of the user base to paid subscribers despite limited promotional activity and price increases.

•  Stock selection within the financial sector was positive for performance during the period. The rising interest rate environment represents a potentially positive change in the fundamental backdrop for this industry.

  – Webster Financial provides a wide range of financial services to individuals and businesses across southern New England and eastern New York State. The company's shares outperformed as 10-year U.S. Treasury rates rose dramatically after the presidential election. We believe that a sustained upward movement in rates will allow the bank to expand its net interest margin and drive earnings growth. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Rising rates also drove shares of Columbia Banking System higher for the six-month period. The full-service commercial bank serves small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and other individuals through offices in Washington State.

  – National Bank Holdings Corporation, a provider of services through community banking franchises, was another strong post-election performer. The company serves retail and business customers in Colorado, the greater Kansas City region and Texas.

•  An overweight to energy stocks—as well as stock selection within the sector—made a positive contribution to Fund returns.

  – Shares of US Silica Holdings, a producer and distributor of industrial silica and sand proppants, traded higher for the six months. Investors expect the company to benefit from the consistent increase in active horizontal drilling oil rigs along with the higher volume of proppants being utilized on a per-well basis. These trends may allow the company to raise prices and drive additional growth in EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization).

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


49



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

•  The Fund benefited from holding several names that rose on investors' anticipation of potential infrastructure spending and faster economic growth.

  – EMCOR contributed to relative returns during the six-month period. The company provides mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services to a broad range of commercial, industrial, utility and institutional customers. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

What didn't work:

•  Stock selection within the healthcare sector was the largest negative contributor during the reporting period.

  – Acadia Healthcare, which operates behavioral health centers, underperformed after reporting disappointing same-facility sales growth for the third quarter of 2016. The share price also suffered from a negative article about Acadia's largest competitor that cast a pall on the entire behavioral health industry. UK regulatory concerns about Acadia's acquisition of the Priory Group were a further drag on performance.

  – DexCom, a medical device company, focuses on the design and development of continuous glucose monitoring systems for people with diabetes. The company's shares fell during the period on concerns over the potential for a loss of market share. Medtronic, a competitor, announced a potentially disruptive launch of a hybrid closed loop insulin pump and sensor system.

  – Seres Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, failed its Phase 2 endpoint for a drug designed to treat bacterial infections. The stock was down sharply on the unexpected news, and we sold the name during the reporting period.

•  The Fund held certain information technology names that detracted from performance.

  – Rapid7 is a provider of security and network data analytics solutions. The company saw its shares fall during the period due to lower-than-expected sales and earnings guidance for the fourth quarter of 2016, as well as concerns about trends in cybersecurity spending.

  – Callidus Software made a negative contribution to performance. The company provides software solutions that focus on incentive compensation management. Shares declined despite Callidus posting better-than-expected quarterly results. Investors were concerned when the company lowered the top end of its fiscal year earnings guidance.

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 designs and markets networking products and solutions. The company provides high-density networking traffic switches that replicate, filter, stream, monitor, analyze and record information. Gigamon'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.

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

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

•  Burlington Stores is an off-price retailer that operates roughly 540 locations across the US. We believe the company has the opportunity to improve its productivity and margins while sustaining a low single-digit rate of comparable sales (comps). Burlington's sales productivity per square foot is 65% below that of its peers, and its margin of earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) is 500 basis points lower than its peers'. The company anticipates growing square footage by 3% to 4% per year on the back of 25 new store openings, and we believe it could conceivably approach 1,000 stores. We also think Burlington will pursue enhanced merchandising by moving toward better brands and more profitable categories, such as women's sportswear and home.

•  Webster Financial has one of the largest deposit market shares in Connecticut, as well as a desirable retail footprint ranging from Westchester County, NY to Boston. The company's capital position is strong, and its asset quality is stable to improving. We believe growth will be fueled by several factors over the next couple of years, including: (1) growing transaction account balances in all lines of business, (2) growing core business banking loans, (3) expediting the reduction of nonperforming assets, (4) increasing non-interest income and (5) optimizing expenses across the business. We expect Webster to realize efficiencies through branch consolidations and closures, as well as by optimizing its ATM network. The company is a potential takeover target.

•  EMCOR specializes in the design, integration, installation, start-up, operation and maintenance of systems for multiple needs. These include the generation and distribution of electrical power; lighting; low-voltage systems such as security and fire alarms; voice and data communications; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); and plumbing and piping systems. EMCOR also supports the operation of customers' facilities unrelated to their construction programs. The company continues to capitalize on strong growth opportunities in the higher margin commercial, health care, and gaming and hospitality markets. It is seeing continued strong demand for mobile and site-based facilities services.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2016 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.54% and 1.25%; Class C—2.29% and 2.00%; Class P—1.18% and 1.00%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS 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, 2017, 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 to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the 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.

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

UBS Total Return Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, Class P shares of the UBS Total Return Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned -1.55%. For comparison purposes, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") returned -2.53%. (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 the performance of the UBS Total Return Bond Fund for the six-month period ending December 31, 2016.

Market commentary

The second half of 2016 was marked by a sharp increase in US interest rates due to the surprise election of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President, whose fiscal policies are expected to be both expansionary and inflationary. For the period, two-year, 10-year, and 30-year U.S. Treasury yields rose 61 basis points (bps), 94 bps and 74 bps, respectively, to close 2016 at 1.20%, 2.43% and 3.05%, respectively. The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") raised its policy rate at its December meeting by 0.25% to a range of 0.50% to 0.75%. In particular, the Fed cited improvement in the labor market, a continued decrease in the unemployment rate and an uptick in inflation. The Fed's updated projections are calling for three more 0.25% rate hikes in 2017. Investor demand globally for higher yields caused most spread sectors to outperform Treasuries over the reporting period, with the more rate-sensitive sectors underperforming the more credit-sensitive sectors. For example, the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index returned -1.46% over the reporting period, compared to the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index return of 7.40%. The US dollar benefited from the December Fed hike and the expectation for higher inflation in 2017 and appreciated 6.5% in the second half of 2016. Finally, oil prices ended the second half of the year 11% higher to close the year at nearly $54 per barrel. This increase was partially driven by hopes that a deal between OPEC and other major oil exporters to cut production in 2017 will be delivered as promised.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Corporate exposure was additive to performance. The Fund was overweight lower-quality corporates versus higher-quality corporates during the reported period. This positioning was based on our belief that higher-yielding, lower-quality bonds would attract investors' demand for yield. This benefited performance, as lower-quality corporates outperformed higher-quality corporates for the reporting period.

•  Commercial mortgage-backed security ("CMBS") exposure was additive to performance. The Fund was overweight CMBS on the back of strong fundamentals and attractive valuations. This positioning benefited performance as the sector experienced strong investor demand.

UBS Total Return Bond Fund

What didn't work:

•  Agency residential mortgage-backed security ("RMBS") exposure detracted from performance. The Fund's tactical positioning to agency RMBS throughout the reporting period detracted from performance, particularly in the fourth quarter, when rates rose significantly and agency RMBS underperformed.

•  Emerging market currency exposure was a headwind for performance. The Fund's tactical long exposure to the Mexican peso detracted from performance, particularly in the fourth quarter, when the peso depreciated due to the surprise election of Donald Trump as President.

A number of derivatives were used during the reporting period. Interest rate futures and options were utilized for the management of duration and yield curve positioning. Overall, these derivatives detracted from performance. Credit derivatives—such as total return swaps, credit default swaps and options on credit default swaps—were utilized to manage exposure across different fixed income sectors. These instruments were utilized in an effort to reduce the Fund's risk, but also to increase net investment income. Overall, the use of these instruments was slightly negative for performance during the period. Currency instruments, such as foreign exchange forward positions and options, were utilized as part of the fund's currency management strategy. Overall, the use of currency instruments was additive for performance during the period.

Market outlook

With 2016 behind us, we look ahead to 2017 for potential areas of risk and return, where political uncertainty remains a dominant theme. President Trump's proposed policies, while still vague in detail, appear to be both pro-growth and inflationary. This, coupled with a Fed that appears to be growing more hawkish, may portend higher rates in the US in 2017. Meanwhile, a potential break-up of the European Union simply cannot escape the headlines following the surprise "Brexit" results in June 2016, the Italian "no" vote in December 2016, and Presidential elections in France and Germany in 2017. Given these concerns, as well as continued economic uncertainty in China and recent agreements by oil producers to curtail production in 2017, the fundamental backdrop for high-conviction investing in the new year and beyond appears opaque at best. Yet investors' insatiable demand for yield continues to support markets, putting downward pressure on yields and grinding spreads even tighter. Meanwhile, monetary policy for the time being remains quite accommodative. We continue to look for areas of opportunity and dislocation, searching for high conviction risk-adjusted returns globally. Within rates, we expect lower yields predominantly outside the US; within currencies, a stronger US dollar; and within credit, modest overweight allocations to various spread sectors (e.g., US high yield bonds, US securitized product), while remaining wary of potential spikes in volatility.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios as in the October 28, 2016 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.21% and 0.75%; Class C—1.71% and 1.25%; Class P—1.21% 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., 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 0.75% for Class A shares, 1.25% for Class C shares and 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 to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the 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  Inception date of A and C shares of UBS Total Return Bond Fund and the index is September 26, 2016. 10 years fund performance is shown for Class P Shares, and the 10 years index performance of the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index is 4.34%.

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 3.75%. 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 Bloomberg 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.

The Board of Trustees approved a temporary redemption fee of 2% following the reorganization of Fort Dearborn Income Securities Inc. with the class P shares of the Fund. The temporary redemption fee was 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS Municipal Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2016, Class A shares of UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") declined 4.00% (Class A shares returned -6.14% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares fell 3.88%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), returned -3.91%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1-17) Index declined 4.16% 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 71; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a negative return during the reporting period and modestly underperformed its benchmark. This was primarily due to an overall underweight to the 5 to 20-year portion of the municipal yield curve and a slight overweight to AAA-rated municipal securities.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Positioning in several parts of the municipal yield curve was additive for performance. In particular, an overweight to the one-year portion of the curve was beneficial, as was an underweight to the three-year portion of the curve. The Fund's strategic cash position was also rewarded. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality but differing maturity dates.)

•  An overweight to A-rated municipal bonds was beneficial, as were slight underweights to AA-rated and BBB-rated municipal bonds.

•  An underweight to pre-refunded bonds was additive for results. The Fund's strategic overweight cash position was also rewarded.

What didn't work:

•  An overall underweight to the 5 to 20-year portion of the municipal yield curve was detrimental to results.

•  A slight overweight to AAA-rated municipal securities was not rewarded as they underperformed the Index.

•  Underweights to the hospital and transportation sectors detracted from results as they outperformed the Index. Positioning in the local general obligation ("GO") bond sector was also a headwind for returns.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2016 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.15% and 0.65%; Class C—1.65% and 1.15%; Class P—0.89% 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., 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 0.65% 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 to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the 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 Bloomberg 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 Bloomberg 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

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

Explanation of expense disclosure

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2016 to December 31, 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 July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.

*  Expenses are equal to each Fund's annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1  UBS Total Return Bond Fund Class A and Class C commenced operations on September 30, 2016. Actual expense is equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratios from the commencement of investment operations date, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 92 divided by 365 (to reflect the actual days in the period). For comparability purposes, hypothetical expense assumes that the Fund was in operation for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2016. Thus, the hypothetical expense is equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

4  During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Advisor reimbursed the Fund $128,212, which was determined to be the value of the ineligible services paid for from the Fund's dealing commissions, and $86,068 for a trading error, both reimbursements had no impact on the Fund's total return.

5  During the year ended June 30, 2015 the Advisor reimbursed the Fund for a trading error in the amount of $2,068, which had no impact on the Fund's total return.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, 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 authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at par value of $0.001 per share.

The Trust has seven 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, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth 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.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM" or the "Advisor") serves as the investment advisor and administrator for the Funds. UBS Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS AM (US)") serves as principal underwriter for the Funds. UBS AM and UBS AM (US) are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries 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.

The Funds currently offer Class A, Class C and Class P shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Fund and the classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing service and distribution 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 service and/or distribution plan, if any. Class P shares have no service or distribution plan.

The Class P shares of the 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 UBS Total Return Bond Fund's investment advisor, UBS AM, was the advisor for the Predecessor Fund, and the day-to-day management of, and investment decisions for, the UBS Total Return Bond 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 UBS Total Return Bond 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.

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

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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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, the 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:

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.

Dividends and distributions: Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital are 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.

Foreign currency translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of operations.

The Funds do not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Net realized foreign currency transaction gain (loss) is treated as ordinary income (loss) for income tax reporting purposes.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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 moderate growth prospects.

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

Investments in bonds with ratings of BB (Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC or Fitch Ratings, Inc.) 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.

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 investments. 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. 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"). 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 a "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, Fair Value Measurement, 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. 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 Equities, Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee ("VC") (formerly UBS AM Global Valuation Committee or GVC) the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Funds' portfolio holdings. The VC is comprised of representatives of management. The VC 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 VC, 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 VC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions, processes, and controls over fair value

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews and periodic internal audit reviews.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Investments

Securities traded on to-be-announced basis: Certain Funds may from time to time purchase, or short sell, securities on a to-be-announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying securities. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid securities are segregated 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.

Mortgage-backed securities: Certain Funds may invest in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), representing direct or indirect interests in pools of underlying mortgage loans that are secured by real property. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid.

The timely payment of principal and interest (but not the market value) on MBS issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (formally known as the Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA) is backed by Ginnie Mae and the full faith and credit of the US government. Obligations issued by Fannie Mae (formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association or FNMA) and Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or FHLMC) are historically supported only by the credit of the issuer, but currently are guaranteed by the US government in connection with such agencies being placed temporarily into conservatorship by the US government.


116



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Some MBS are sponsored or issued by private entities. Payments of principal and interest (but not the market value) of such private MBS may be supported by pools of mortgage loans or other MBS that are guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the US government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any government guarantee of the underlying mortgage assets but with some form of non-government credit enhancement.

Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO") are a type of MBS. A CMO is a debt security that may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. The mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities are divided into classes or tranches with each class having its own characteristics. Investors typically receive payments out of the interest and principal on the underlying mortgages. The portions of these payments that investors receive, as well as the priority of their rights to receive payments, are determined by the specific terms of the CMO class.

The yield characteristics of MBS differ from those of traditional debt securities. Among the major differences are that interest and principal payments are made more frequently, usually monthly, and that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying mortgage loans or other obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. Prepayments on a pool of mortgage loans are influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors. Generally, prepayments on fixed-rate mortgage loans will increase during a period of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. Certain classes of CMOs and other MBS are structured in a manner that makes them extremely sensitive to changes in prepayment rates. Such classes include interest-only ("IO") and principal-only ("PO") classes. IOs are entitled to receive all or a portion of the interest, but none (or only a nominal amount) of the principal payments, from the underlying mortgage assets. If the mortgage assets underlying an IO experience greater than anticipated principal prepayments, then the total amount of interest payments allocable to the IO class, and therefore the yield to investors, generally will be reduced. Conversely, PO classes are entitled to receive all or a portion of the principal payments, but none of the interest, from the underlying mortgage assets. PO classes are purchased at substantial discounts from par, and the yield to investors will be reduced if principal payments are slower than expected.

Asset-backed securities: Certain Funds may invest in asset-backed securities ("ABS"), representing interests in pools of certain types of underlying installment loans, home equity loans, leases of various types of real and personal property and receivables from revolving lines of credit (credit cards). Such assets are securitized through the use of trusts or special purpose corporations. The yield characteristics of ABS differ from those of traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. ABS may decrease in value as a result of increases in interest rates and may benefit less than other fixed-income securities from declining interest rates because of the risk of prepayment.

Short sales: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund and UBS Total Return Bond Fund may engage in short sale transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own (or does not have the right to acquire at no added cost), in anticipation of a decline in the security's price.

The Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. 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 appreciation or depreciation on the Statement of operations. The Fund will realize a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security, and the Fund will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those same dates. Each Fund segregates collateral, consisting of cash or liquid assets, sufficient to collateralize the market value of the investments sold short. Each Fund incurs transaction costs, including dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expenses in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales. These dividends and interest are booked as an expense or liability to the Fund.


117



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Because a Fund's loss on a short sale arises from increases in the value of the investment sold short, such loss, like the potential increase in price of the security sold short, is theoretically unlimited. The Fund's investments held long could also decline in value at the same time the value of the investment sold short increases, thereby increasing the Fund's potential for loss. There is also the risk that the counterparty to a short sale transaction may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund.

For the period ended December 31, 2016, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund and UBS Total Return Bond Fund did not engage in short sale transactions.

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 footnotes.

Derivative instruments

Purchased options: Certain Funds may purchase put and call options, including, but not limited to, options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and options on swap agreements (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. 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. Purchased options are shown as portfolio holdings within the Portfolio of investments and are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities in investments of unaffiliated issuers, at value.

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 future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Option writing: Certain Funds may write (sell) put and call options, including, but not limited to, options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and options on swap agreements (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 a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which a Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option, which a Fund has written, is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option, which a Fund has written, is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.


118



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

In writing an option, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, 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 the Funds 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. At December 31, 2016, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Total Return Bond Fund had maximum payout amounts of approximately $31,205,000 and $5,360,580, respectively, relating to written put option contracts.

Futures contracts: Certain 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. Generally, a futures contract is a standard binding agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying reference asset, such as a specific security or currency, at a specified price at a specified later date.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or U.S. government securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin", generally 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 appreciation or depreciation 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.

Using 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.

Forward foreign currency contracts: Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts 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. Generally, a forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency contracts are settled with the counterparty in US dollars, or another fully convertible currency, without the physical delivery of foreign currency.

Fluctuations in the value of open forward foreign currency contracts are recorded daily for book purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on forward foreign currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have been sold or matured.

Risks may arise upon entering into forward foreign currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the US dollar or each other.

Swap agreements: Certain Funds may engage in swap agreements, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit default and total return swap agreements. A Fund expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a


119



The UBS Funds

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.

The Funds accrue for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation or 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 on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements.

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.

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

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices 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 write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list of a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of referenced credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name's weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. A Fund may use credit default swap agreements on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit default swap agreements on credit indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.

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


120



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection'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 the value reflected on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of the period end for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues—sell protection" in the 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.

Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swap agreements 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 rate risk, credit risk and the risk that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.

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 the Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. OTC 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, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

Certain clearinghouses offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, such as interest rate and credit default swap agreements. Centrally cleared swap agreements must be transacted through a futures commission merchant ("FCM") and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. The performance of a centrally cleared swap transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing 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. Centrally cleared swap agreements, if any, are reported on the Statement of assets and liabilities based on variation margin receivable or payable, if any.

Derivatives by underlying risk: Investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations. Under US GAAP, investment companies do not qualify for hedge accounting. 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 US GAAP.

The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the period ended December 31, 2016.

Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, swaptions and options written entered into by the Funds may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of December 31, 2016 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities.

1  In the Statement of assets and liabilities, options purchased are shown within investments of unaffiliated issuers, at value, swap agreements (except centrally cleared swap agreements) are shown within outstanding swap agreements, at value, while forward foreign currency contracts are shown within unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency contracts. Futures contracts are reported in the table above using cumulative appreciation of futures contracts and centrally cleared swap agreements are reported at value, as reported in the futures contracts and centrally cleared swap agreements tables at the end of the Portfolio of investments, respectively, but only the variation margin to be received, if any, is reported within the Statement of assets and liabilities.

2  In the Statement of assets and liabilities, options written are shown within options written, at value, swap agreements (except centrally cleared swap agreements) are shown within outstanding swap agreements, at value, while forward foreign currency contracts are shown within unrealized depreciation on forward foreign currency contracts. Futures contracts are reported in the table above using cumulative depreciation of futures contracts and centrally cleared swap agreements are reported at value, as reported in the futures contracts and centrally cleared swap agreements tables at the end of the Portfolio of investments, respectively, but only the variation margin to be paid, if any, is reported within the Statement of assets and liabilities.

3  The net realized gain (loss) is shown in the Statement of operations in net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts, options written, swap agreements and forward foreign currency contracts, unless otherwise noted. The net realized gain (loss) of options purchased is shown in the Statement of operations in net realized gain (loss) on investments in unaffiliated issuers.

4  The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is shown in the Statement of operations in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, options written, swap agreements and forward foreign currency contracts, unless otherwise noted. The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of options purchased is shown in the Statement of operations on change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

Offsetting of certain derivatives: The Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements") or similar 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 Statement of assets and liabilities is presented gross of any netting.

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, US government or government agency securities or, under certain conditions, bank letters of credit in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly.

Each Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, US government or government agency securities or, under certain conditions, bank letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. Cash collateral received is invested in JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which is included in each Fund's Portfolio of investments. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as the Funds' lending agent.

At December 31, 2016, the following Funds had securities on loan at value, cash collateral and non-cash collateral as follows:

Bank line of credit

The Funds participate with other funds managed by UBS AM in a $50 million committed credit facility (the "Committed Credit Facility") with JPMorgan Chase Bank. The Committed Credit Facility is to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of a participating 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. Each Fund covered by the Committed Credit Facility has agreed to pay commitment fees on the average daily balance of the Committed Credit Facility not utilized. 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. For the period ended December 31, 2016, the Funds had no borrowings under the Committed Credit Facility.

Commission recapture program

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

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.

The Board of Trustees approved a temporary redemption fee of 2.00% following the reorganization of Fort Dearborn Income Securities, Inc. with UBS Total Return Bond Fund. The temporary redemption fee was paid to the UBS Total Return Bond Fund and was in effect until August 22, 2016.

The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the period ended December 31, 2016, redemption fee represented less than $0.005 per share.

Federal tax status

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

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

The tax character of distributions paid and components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis current fiscal year will be determined after the Trust's fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after December 22, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. These carryforwards are available as a reduction, to the extent provided in regulations, of future realized capital gains. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

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 period ended December 31, 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.

Contribution from Advisor

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, the Advisor reimbursed UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund for trading and operational errors in the amounts of $86,068 and $5,471, respectively.

During a review, the Financial Conduct Authority, a United Kingdom 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
