President's letter

February 16, 2018

Dear Shareholder,

Investors in equities enjoyed another strong year in 2017 as the global recovery continued to pick up speed. The year was witness to an expanding global economic recovery, now in its ninth year and notable for its breadth and consistency. While stocks appear somewhat expensive by historical measures, we believe that a relatively benign economic environment, with subdued inflation and supportive central bank polices, bodes well for continued growth. Encouragingly, across asset classes there is a high level of conviction that attractive opportunities on a risk-adjusted basis still exist, and with a healthy awareness of potential threats to broader market calmness. With the potential for greater volatility ahead, the timeless challenge of building a genuinely diversified portfolio capable of delivering growth and the potential for downside protection takes on a new dimension. At UBS Asset Management, our teams have distinct viewpoints and philosophies, but they all share one goal—to provide you with access to the best ideas and superior investment performance.

In recent years, UBS Asset Management has committed to being an industry leader in sustainable investment strategies that screen potential opportunities based on their positive environmental, social and corporate governance impact, in addition to traditional investment analysis. We believe that the integration of material sustainability criteria often leads to better informed investment decisions and provides powerful diversification benefits to a portfolio. Research into the positive impact of sustainability on financial performance has been encouraging. Studies of the academic literature confirm that integrating sustainability information may lead to better risk-adjusted returns by reducing downside risks.1 Additionally, these benefits are most profound when examined over a whole market cycle, which would be optimal for long-term investors. However, it is important to bear in mind that sustainability factors will likely make a fund perform differently from a fund that relies solely or primarily on financial metrics. The sustainability factors may cause the Fund's industry allocation to deviate from that of funds without these considerations.

Our commitment to sustainable investing has resulted in the addition of the UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund to the UBS fund family. Both funds focus on the alignment of a traditional investment discipline with the concept of sustainability—the potential for long-term maintenance of environmental, economic and social well-being. Our stringent analysis evaluates a company as a whole, not just its financial statements, to build a portfolio of investments that have a positive impact, while providing the potential for downside risk mitigation. Having managed institutional sustainable equity strategies for more than 20 years, UBS Asset Management has emerged as a leader in sustainable and responsible investing, and we are proud to now offer these strategies to investors through the UBS fund family.

Our goal at UBS Asset Management is to be the world's leading sustainable investment asset manager; to be ahead of the curve and play a material role in the mainstreaming of this important new approach. As the global economic recovery continues, staying diversified remains imperative, and we believe that the addition of sustainable investments to a portfolio is a smart way to gain exposure to quality companies that may outperform over the long-term. We continue to believe that there are compelling opportunities across global asset classes and that the right strategies in the hands of skilled investment professionals have the potential to deliver better investment outcomes for our clients. 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

The global economic expansion accelerates

The US economy continued to expand during the reporting period. Looking back, the US Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") grew at a 1.2% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the first quarter of 2017. GDP growth then accelerated to 3.1% and 3.2% during the second and third quarters of 2017, respectively. The latter reading represented the strongest pace since the first quarter of 2015. Finally, fourth quarter 2017 GDP grew at a 2.6% rate based on the US Commerce Department's initial estimate.1

The US Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") continued to raise interest rates during the reporting period as it sought to gradually normalize monetary policy. After raising rates in both March and June 2017, the Fed again raised rates in December 2017, bringing the federal funds rate2 to a range between 1.25% and 1.50%. In addition, starting in October 2017, the Fed began reducing its sizable balance sheet. For 2018, the Fed currently anticipates making three additional 0.25% rate hikes and taking further actions to pare its balance sheet.

From a global perspective, in its October 2017 World Economic Outlook Update the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") said "The pickup in growth projected in the April 2017 World Economic Outlook is strengthening. The global growth forecast for 2017 and 2018—3.6 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively—is 0.1 percentage point higher in both years than in the April [2017] and July [2017] forecasts. Notable pickups in investment, trade, and industrial production, coupled with strengthening business and consumer confidence, are supporting the recovery." The IMF estimates that 2017 growth in the eurozone will be 2.1%, versus 1.8% in 2016. Japan's economy is estimated to have expanded 1.5% in 2017, compared with 1.0% in 2016. Finally, in the IMF's view, overall growth in emerging markets countries will have accelerated to 4.6% in 2017, versus 4.3% in 2016.

Global equities move sharply higher

The global equity market generated very strong results during the reporting period. US equities posted positive results during all six months of the period. Supporting the market were improving global growth, corporate profits that often exceeded expectations and, more recently, the December 2017 signing of a tax reform bill, in our view. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,3 gained 11.42% for the six months ended December 31, 2017. International equities also generated strong returns. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),4 rose 9.86% during the reporting period, while emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),5 gained 15.92%.

1  Based on the Commerce Department's initial estimate announced on January 26, 2018, after the reporting period had ended.

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

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

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

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

The markets in review

The fixed income market posts modest gains

The global fixed income market posted a small gain during the reporting period. In the US, both short- and long-term Treasury yields moved higher. Short-term rates rose in conjunction with Fed monetary policy tightening. Longer-term rates rose less dramatically, as inflation was generally well-contained. For the reporting period as a whole, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury moved from 2.31% to 2.40% (bond yields and prices move in the opposite direction). The overall US bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index,6 returned 1.24% for the six months ended December 31, 2017. Returns of riskier fixed income securities were somewhat better. High yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofAML US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index,7 gained 2.44% during the reporting period. Elsewhere, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),8 rose 2.94%.

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

7  The ICE BofAML 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.

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

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned 0.31% (Class A shares returned -5.22% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 0.45%. For purposes of comparison, the ICE BofAML US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned -0.10% during the same time period, the MSCI World Index (net) returned 10.61%, and the Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 0.50%. (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, with market allocations contributing positively to results, while currency allocations detracted from performance.

During the reporting period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our active currency strategy, utilizing currency forwards had a direct negative impact on Fund performance. We used a variety of equity and fixed income 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 market allocations were positive for returns.

  – In aggregate, our relative value trades added to performance.

  – The Fund's long China H-shares versus Taiwan equities trade contributed to performance, as Chinese equities benefited from a resurgence in economic activity.

  – The Fund benefited from its long MSCI EAFE versus US equities trade. In particular, an overweight to Japanese equities within the MSCI EAFE basket helped outpace the gains made by the S&P 500 Index.

  – Also contributing to performance was our long emerging markets and emerging markets minimum volatility equities versus US equities, long global investment grade credit versus sovereign bonds, and long EuroStoxx 50 versus Italian equities trades.

•  Certain currency trades were positive during the reporting period.

  – The strategy's long positions in the US dollar versus Swiss franc, Malaysian ringgit versus Singapore dollar, Colombian peso versus US dollar, and euro versus US dollar were the primary positive contributors to results.

  – The euro benefited from improving economic growth and a more hawkish tone from the European Central Bank, while the Colombian peso advanced on the strength of rising oil prices.

  – The US dollar versus Swiss franc trade continued to offer positive carry, as the Swiss National Bank continued its attempt to ward off deflation and fight currency strength with more negative interest rates.

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

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

What didn't work:

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

  – The largest detractor during the reporting period was our long Turkish lira versus South African rand position. We closed the position following South African elections as our original thesis for the trade was violated.

  – Other detractors included our long US dollar versus Canadian dollar, long Japanese yen versus euro, long Indian rupee versus Korean won, long US dollar versus Chinese yuan, and long Mexican peso versus US dollar positions.

  – The Fund's short position in the Canadian dollar detracted from results on the back of a rebound in oil and exceptionally strong employment data.

•  Certain market allocations detracted from results.

  – From a directional risk perspective, our long US duration and short US high yield spreads trades detracted from performance.

  – Negative contributors included our long Russell 1000 Value versus US equities and long Canadian 10-year versus US 10-year bonds trades.

  – US equities increased in value over the period, with the S&P 500 Index delivering exceptionally strong performance on the back of the new tax bill that was passed in Congress, outpacing the gains made by the Russell 1000 Value Index.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 27, 2017 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.52% and 1.38%; Class C—2.31% and 2.13%; Class P—1.30% and 1.13%. 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 29, 2018, 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 date on 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 the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement, or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. The fee waiver/ expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, UBS AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

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

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

4  The ICE BofAML 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 August 3, 2015, a 1% redemption fee was imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the Fund made during the specified holding period.

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.

The change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) relating to the Level 3 investments held at December 31, 2017 was $1,903.

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, linked to the referenced benchmark. 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  Value determined using significant unobservable inputs.

9  Variable or floating rate security for which the interest rate adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. The interest rate shown is the current rate at the period end.

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

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

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

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

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

UBS Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") increased 7.13% (Class A shares returned 1.24% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares increased 7.25%. In contrast, the Fund's benchmark, the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD), returned 7.17% during the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) returned 11.21% and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) returned 1.33%. (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 performed largely in line with the benchmark. Both market allocation strategy and security selection were additive for results, whereas currency positioning was a headwind for performance.

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 negative 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:

•  Certain active equity positions added to performance.

  – The Fund's long exposure to global equities (US, developed ex-US and emerging markets) contributed to results over the reporting period. Strong performance in equity markets was experienced worldwide. For example, in local currency terms the MSCI All Country World Index did not experience a single month of negative total returns in 2017.

  – The Fund benefited from certain relative value trades, particularly long emerging markets equities versus US equities. Emerging markets equities led global markets in 2017, supported by strong earnings growth, more favorable growth differentials and an overall better global growth backdrop.

•  Overall, active fixed income positions were positive for performance.

  – The Fund's exposure to global corporate bonds over sovereigns added value. Spreads further compressed during the reporting period as the search for yield continued amid an improving risk appetite environment.

  – The Fund benefited from certain relative value trades, such as long Australian government bonds versus US Treasuries. We closed the position in mid-December 2017 following a strong performance move and given the increasing risk of macro indicators in Australia to surprise on the upside.

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

  – The Fund maintained a preference for the euro relative to the Swiss franc, which added to performance. Following European Central Bank President Draghi's more hawkish tone on monetary policy at the end of June, the euro steadily appreciated against the Swiss franc in the second half of the year.

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


22



UBS Global Allocation Fund

  – The Fund maintained a preference for the Colombian peso relative to the US dollar. This contributed to performance on the back of rising oil prices and more attractive valuations.

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

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

What didn't work:

•  Overall, equity trades detracted from performance during the reporting period.

  – A preference for US value stocks over the broader US equity market detracted from performance. Negative sector rotation and momentum was experienced throughout 2017, with the outperformance of information technology stocks a particular drag on the trade.

  – The Fund's preference for developed ex-US equities over US equities negatively impacted performance. US equities enjoyed a strong boost from the passage of tax reform in the second half of the year.

•  Certain fixed income allocations detracted from results.

  – The Fund's long Canadian 10-year government bonds versus US Treasuries relative value trade detracted from performance. Economic data in Canada improved and the Bank of Canada raised rates twice in the second half of 2017.

  – The Fund's performance was negatively impacted by a bearish stance on US high yield fixed income. Risk appetite continued to improve and high yield spreads further compressed during the reporting period.

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

  – The Fund's preference for the Turkish lira over the South African rand detracted from performance. We closed the trade in December 2017 after the political outlook in South Africa improved more than we expected and energy prices rebounded.

  – The Fund's preference for the Mexican peso over the US dollar was a headwind for performance. The Mexican peso depreciated over the reporting period due to a confluence of factors. These included market sentiment relating to US tax reforms and possible renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a political corruption scandal ahead of forthcoming Presidential elections and signs of inflationary pressure being more persistent than expected.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 27, 2017 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.50% and 1.31%; Class C—2.27% and 2.06%; Class P—1.23% and 1.06%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS 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 29, 2018, do not exceed 1.20% for Class A shares, 1.95% for Class C shares and 0.95% for Class P shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the date on 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 the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement, or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, UBS AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

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

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

4  The MSCI All Country World Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

5  The Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of fixed-rate, local currency, investment-grade sovereign bonds with a one-year minimum maturity and is hedged back to the US dollar. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

6  The 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) is a unmanaged blended benchmark compiled by the Advisor. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

Prior to August 3, 2015, a 1% redemption fee was imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the Fund made during the specified holding period.

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

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security 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 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.

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

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

7  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.

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

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

UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, Class A shares of UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 13.16% (Class A shares returned 6.91% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 13.33%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net) (the "Index"), returned 10.09%. (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 36; 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 strong absolute return and outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. This was driven by a combination of strong stock selection and sector allocation.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

• Stock selection in the health care, energy and financials sectors contributed the most to performance.

Ping An Insurance is a China-based insurer and also a provider of financial services, such as wealth management and credit card services. The company is increasing its footprint in Asia and has recently posted strong earnings as China's property and casualty insurance market has improved following a temporary slowdown in 2016. We continue to hold Ping An Insurance, as we believe that the company will benefit from rising household income and demand for insurance in China.

Sino Biopharmaceutical is a Hong Kong-based manufacturer of biopharmaceutical products to the treatment of ophthalmia, hepatitis B (which affects 16% of the Chinese population), cardiovascular disease and diabetes, along with modern Chinese medicines. The company has a robust pipeline of 30-40 drugs that are likely to receive China Food & Drug Administration approval in 2018 and 2019. Several of these are potential blockbuster drugs, including HIV treatment and breast cancer biosimilars (Herceptin).

Santos Limited is a gas producer with operations in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. Santos Limited's shares rose sharply as the company increased domestic sales to address a significant gas shortage in South Australia. It also announced the start of new a off-shore exploration in Western Australia. The company shows strong efforts to manage its environmental impact and performs well on safety metrics.

• From a sector allocation perspective, an average overweight to the information technology and average underweight to the energy sectors contributed to performance.

What didn't work:

• Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and industrials 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 cuts in public sector spending. We continue to hold Capita, as we believe that the company is in the midst of a business turnaround that is focused on reducing costs.

A.P. Moeller Maersk is an integreated transport and logistics company that operates a fleet of container vessels, tankers, supply ships and specialty vessels. The company has an oil and gas exploration and production ("E&P") division and owns various terminals. It is a leading global port operator and is expanding its terminal footprint in emerging markets, such as Brazil and Liberia. The company missed its third quarter 2017 earnings target due to

low volumes. We continue to hold the company, as we believe that conditions for the industry should improve in 2018.

Nordea Bank is a universal pan-Nordic bank with a diversified business model allowing for low volatility in earnings. The company's share price was negatively impacted during the reporting period, as it moved its headquarters from Stockholm to Helsinki, which led to a significant loss of Swedish customers. We continue to hold the company, as the management team increased the company's dividend distribution rate and currently offers a 12% return on capital, which is expected to improve due to additional cost cutting.

• Sector allocations to industrials (average overweight) and consumer discretionary (average underweight) were modest detractors to performance.

Portfolio highlights

•  Koninklijke DSM N.V. (Royal DSM) is a specialty chemicals company involved in health, nutrition and materials. In 2016, it launched a corporate restructuring, which should result in a higher valuation as the company becomes more focused and transparent. As a result, their business mix has improved by moving out of their pharmaceutical and commodity chemicals businesses, which were lower return and slower growth units. Royal DSM's valuation is attractive as the company has exited its low return commodities business. In addition, during most of the past five year period, returns in the company's largest business, nutrition, were declining. However, this trend could reverse, due to a combination of internal restructuring under a new Chief Financial Officer and rising vitamin prices. Uplift from higher vitamin prices should become apparent, appearing first in animal and then in human nutrition. Royal DSM products play a role in improving nutrition and also reducing pollution in materials. The group targets 40-45% greenhouse gas efficiency improvements and to source half of its energy from renewables by 2025.

•  THK Co. LTD Is a Japanese manufacturer of industrial linear motion systems that are used in products such as robots, machine tools and semiconductor equipment. The company also produces feed screws, bearings, joints, actuators and other mechanical parts and equipment. The company has posted significant gains in the past six months, with estimated earnings per share growth of 23%. The firm is benefiting from rising demand in China for industrial equipment. The company is also expanding its production capacity in Japan, China and Vietnam to meet growing demand for automation, batteries and increased demand for electronics in automobiles.

•  During the reporting period, we initiated several new positions, notably in Takeda Pharmaceutical, Nabtesco and Mediobanca Spa. We sold the Fund's positions in Credit Agricole, Novartis, Roche and Schlumberger.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 27, 2017 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.25% and 1.25%; Class C—3.11% and 2.00%; Class P—2.06% 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 August 3, 2015, a 1% redemption fee was imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the Fund made during the specified holding period.

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, 2017, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned 9.44% (Class A shares returned 3.41% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 9.60%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned 11.09% 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 43; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Universal Display Corporation was the Fund's top-performing stock during the six months ended December 31, 2017.

  – Universal Display is a manufacturer of emitters and materials that support organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display technology. The company saw its shares rise on increased confidence in active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display capacity plans, and as OLED smartphone penetration continues to increase. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several healthcare stocks contributed positively to performance during the period.

  – Shares of Exact Sciences, a molecular diagnostics company, rose during the six months after the company reported second quarter revenues that exceeded expectations. The company also benefited from continued confidence regarding momentum in test volume for its Cologuard colon cancer screening test.

  – Nektar Therapeutics is a biotechnology company that uses its PEGylation and advanced polymer conjugate chemistry technology platform to develop novel therapies. The company's stock price rose after Nektar presented early data on NKTR-214 which showed favorable efficacy, in combination with Opdivo, in treating melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma.

•  Certain energy and industrial stocks were positive for performance during the six-month period.

  – ProPetro Holding Corporation, a provider of pressure pumping services to the energy sector, saw its shares rise as the pressure pumping market remained tight and price increases continued.

  – Generac Holdings manufactures automatic, stationary standby, and portable power generators. The company outperformed following 2017's severe weather events in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, which drove an increase in demand for the Generac's products. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

What didn't work:

•  Within the healthcare sector, several names detracted from relative performance during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017.

  – Evolent Health is a provider of a platform of services designed to help healthcare clients migrate to value-based payment models. Evolent saw its shares decline after announcing that it had acquired a health plan from a current customer. We continue to hold the Evolent Health as of the end of the reporting period. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

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


40



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

  – Acadia Healthcare, an operator of a network of behavioral health centers, underperformed after reporting disappointing third quarter earnings driven by softness in volumes in the UK market alongside increased labor costs. We closed our position in Acadia Healthcare prior to the end of the reporting period.

  – NuCana plc develops anti-cancer medicines for ovarian, biliary, pancreatic, colorectal, hematological and breast cancers. Shares of NuCana fell after the company's initial public offering due to a lack of liquidity. We continue to hold the stock.

•  Other stock selection decisions made a negative contribution to relative returns.

  – Information technology holding Wix.com, a web-platform operator and developer, saw its shares fall after the company provided disappointing preliminary fiscal 2018 guidance. Management expects to see higher operating expenses in the upcoming year due to higher spending on research and development (R&D) combined with a currency impact on costs. We continue to hold the position as of the end of the reporting period. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Underweights to the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors also detracted during the six months. As investors grew more confident about the passage of tax reform in the U.S., the market saw a rotation toward cyclical stocks and U.S.-based businesses. Anticipation about the impact of lower tax rates on U.S. corporations caused these stocks to outperform, and our underweight hindered relative performance.

Portfolio highlights

•  Universal Display Corporation is a leader in the research, development and commercialization of organic light-emitting diode technologies and materials. We remain positive regarding the company's expected industry shipments in 2018, and the Fund is overweight the stock.

•  Generac Holdings is a leading designer and manufacturer of a wide range of power generation equipment and other engine-powered products. The company serves a variety of end markets including residential, light commercial, industrial, oil and gas, and construction. We believe that growth in consumer power products will come from the aging and underinvested grid and favorable demographics. Only 3.5% of addressable households within the US currently have a home standby generator, and Generac has the largest share of the portable generator market at 20%.

•  Evolent Health's platform, which includes technology, proprietary processes and integrated services, allows healthcare providers to migrate from fee-for-service reimbursement to value-based payment models that reward quality and cost-effective care. The migration to value-based payment models is increasingly driven by price pressure in traditional fee-for-service healthcare. We believe Evolent's growth will come from several factors, including embedded extension of lives in existing covered populations, partners expanding into new lines of value-based care, and partners utilizing additional capabilities. The company should also benefit from its target growth of five to seven new clients per year. Evolent appears well-positioned to capitalize on the growth in Medicare and Medicaid. The company is expanding its platform offerings and considering potential acquisitions.

•  Wix.com is a web platform that offers solutions for developing customized websites and applications. The company is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the continued move online by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Websites are crucial for all businesses today, and Wix.com provides SMBs with an easy-to-use web design solution that also incorporates e-commerce capabilities.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 27, 2017 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.57% and 1.25%; Class C—2.30% and 2.00%; Class P—1.23% 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 29, 2018, 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 date on 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 the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement, or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, UBS AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

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

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

4  The 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 August 3, 2015, a 1% redemption fee was imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the Fund made during the specified holding period.

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

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

UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund
(formerly, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund)

Please note: On October 27, 2017, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund was renamed UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund, and the Fund's benchmark transitioned from the Russell 1000 Index to the S&P 500 Index. The Fund's investment objective and policies have transitioned to reflect a sustainable investment strategy that seeks to make investments in companies that offer both good fundamental value and positive environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics. The Fund continues to be managed by UBS Asset Management's US Intrinsic Value team, which has been led by Thomas Digenan since 2012.

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 6.16% (Class A shares returned 0.31% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 6.30%. The Fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (the "Index"), returned 11.42% over the same time period. For reference purposes, the Fund's previous benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, returned 11.36% over the period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 52; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund underperformed the Index primarily due to stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Voya Financial was the top contributor to performance during the six months ended December 31, 2017.

  – The company's share price rallied following an agreement to transfer the bulk of its ongoing and "closed-block" annuity operations to two financial sponsors. After the deal is completed, Voya's balance sheet and consolidated income statement should be more exposed to its higher-margin businesses that do not require the same level of ongoing capital support, such as group insurance, asset management and retirement planning services. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Stock selection decisions in the industrials sector contributed positively to Fund performance.

  – That the Fund did not hold General Electric, which is held by the Fund's benchmark, benefited relative performance during the six months. General Electric shares declined after it posted third quarter earnings figures that were below market expectations, casting additional doubts on the company's dividend. We do not hold General Electric as of the end of the reporting period.

•  The Fund benefited from other successful stock holdings across sectors.

  – Alnylam Pharmaceuticals made a positive contribution to Fund performance. The company's share price increased after Alnylam released new data on Patisiran, its lead RNA-silencing drug. The implications of the study go beyond the treatment of a rare form of amyloidosis, potentially impacting treatments for other diseases the company is attempting to cure.

  – Micron Technology's outperformance was driven by a continued recovery in both DRAM and NAND Flash memory pricing, fueled by rational industry supply and pricing practices and increased demand for memory across many information technology (IT) segments, including smartphones, PCs and cloud computing.

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

UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund
(formerly, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund)

What didn't work:

•  Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector detracted from Fund returns.

  – Newell Brands was the top detractor from Fund performance during the six months ended December 31, 2017. The market punished the company for overpromising on top-line growth and not properly communicating its issues with customer inventory management. Newell also assumed significant debt to finance its acquisition of Jarden, so its leverage is higher than historical norms. We continue to hold the company as of the end of the reporting period as we believe that Newell will be able to manage the transition online, return to normal levels of leverage and generate healthy cash flows. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several stocks made a negative contribution to performance.

  – Allergan's shares declined after management lowered expectations for several legacy brands (Restasis, Aczone, Namenda), which disappointed investors. We believe that given the short duration of these products, the impact on near-term earnings estimates is much greater than the impact on Allergan's fair value. Within pharmaceuticals/biotech, we expect continued sector-wide consolidation. Combined with major advances in science, this should drive substantial, idiosyncratic value creation for those investors willing to hold the stock through potential near-term volatility.

  – Western Digital was a detractor from performance during the six-month period. The company's underperformance was driven by investor fears late in November that the NAND flash memory industry may be overbuilding capacity, and that pricing could weaken faster than cost reductions in 2018. We believe these fears are overblown, and we continue to hold the stock.

Portfolio highlights

•  We believe that Costco will be one of the retailers that can co-exist and thrive in a changing retail landscape, as it continually focuses on delivering value to the customer that other retailers have difficulty matching. Costco makes 75% of its profit from membership fee income, with the belief that any savings from scale or a low-cost operating environment should be passed to the consumer. The company's renewal rates have held steady despite a credit card transition from American Express to Visa. Store performance has been very good, with strong positive comparables in stores, increased traffic from loyal customers and the introduction of an e-commerce strategy that complements the warehouse offering. We expect these trends to continue.

•  Voya Financial: Our favorable view is predicated on a belief that company's current valuation does not accurately reflect the margin improvements that are likely to emerge in coming years. We also believe the life insurer/retirement planning firm has a positive—and largely asymmetrical—exposure to a rising interest rate environment. Voya should be able to generate return on equity (ROE) improvement over the medium term through more efficient capital management, the implementation of a cost-savings program and stronger top-line growth. Improved levels of return on invested capital (ROIC) from Voya's ongoing operating businesses should emerge as a result of investments the company made over the past few years. Should recent macro trends continue to improve and the Federal Reserve continue to reduce the size of its balance sheet, we believe Voya will be particularly attractive relative to its financial sector peers, given the high correlation between rising interest rates, equity market appreciation and the company's long-term earnings growth and operating margin potential.

•  Newell Brands is a marketer of consumer and commercial products. We believe the company's investments in capabilities across consumer insights, innovation and go-to-market, as well as a substantial step-up in brand spending, will positively impact top-line growth. This should lead to profitable share gains, higher margins and


50



UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund
(formerly, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund)

higher return on invested capital (ROIC). We believe that Newell competes in highly fragmented categories where it has leading market share and the resources to spend on research and development (R&D) and advertising to gain additional share.

•  Johnson Controls International focuses on providing building products, energy solutions and next-generation transportation systems. The company was formed by the merger of JCI and Tyco. Forty percent of sales come from service and aftermarket, with the remaining 60% from product and installation. Johnson Controls International is currently pitching itself as a "one-stop solution" for the connected building, with a strategy to offer integrated solutions with both equipment and controls. This is, in our opinion, the largest differentiator, as the breadth of building systems under one roof is difficult to replicate. We believe that the company operates in a historically under-managed business, which is why the arrival of a new CEO provides additional opportunities. The company looks very attractive on our valuation and ESG screens.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 27, 2017 prospectuses, supplemented from time to time, were as follows: Class A—2.04% and 0.95%; Class C—2.81% and 1.70%; Class P—1.76% and 0.70%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc., 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 29, 2018, do not exceed 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.70% for Class C shares and 0.70% for Class P shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the date on 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 the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement, or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, UBS AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

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

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

4  The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged, weighted index comprising 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.

5  The Russell 1000 Index is designed to measure the performance of the large-cap segment of the US equity universe. It is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index and includes approximately 1,000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap segment and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

6  Effective October 27, 2017, the S&P 500 Index replaced the Russell 1000 Index as the Fund's primary benchmark because it more closely aligns with the Fund's investment strategy.

Prior to August 3, 2015, a 1% redemption fee was imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the Fund made during the specified holding period.

UBS Municipal Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, Class A shares of UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") gained 0.98% (Class A shares declined 1.34% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares gained 1.11%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), returned 1.82%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1-17) Index gained 1.16% 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 58; 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 positive return during the reporting period but underperformed its benchmark. This was primarily due to positioning on the municipal yield curve, as well as the Fund's quality biases.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Security selection, overall, contributed to the Fund's performance during the reporting period.

•  An underweight to AA-rated municipal bonds was additive for relative results.

•  An underweight to the short end of the municipal yield curve (1-3 years) was beneficial for relative performance.

•  Positioning in certain sectors detracted from performance. Underweights to the power and water sectors were positive for relative returns.

What didn't work

•  Yield curve positioning was the largest detractor from results. In particular, a significant underweight to the long end of the municipal yield curve (20+ years) was a headwind for relative results as the yield curve flattened over the period. (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 the seven year portion of the municipal yield curve was also a headwind for returns as it lagged the Index.

•  Underweighting BBB-rated and overweighting AAA-rated municipal bonds were not beneficial relative to the benchmark, as lower rated securities outperformed their higher quality counterparts during the reporting period.

•  Security selection of A-rated municipal securities was a negative for relative performance.

•  Positioning in certain sectors detracted from performance versus the benchmark. In particular, an overweight to industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue detracted, and an underweight to transportation was negative for results as it outperformed the Index.

•  Duration positioning detracted from results. Having a shorter duration than that of the benchmark was not rewarded.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 27, 2017 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.00% and 0.65%; Class C—1.52% and 1.15%; Class P—0.77% 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 29, 2018, 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 date on 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 the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement, or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. 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 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 August 3, 2015, a 1% redemption fee was imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the Fund made during the specified holding period.

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.

UBS Total Return Bond Fund

Portfolio Performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, Class A shares of UBS Total Return Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 1.71% (Class A shares returned -2.09% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 1.84%. For comparison purposes, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") returned 1.24%. (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 66; 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.)

Market Commentary1

The six months ended December 31, 2017 were marked by a flatter yield curve and perpetually tighter credit spreads. This was driven by the prospect for further improvement in economic fundamentals, the expectation for continued hikes in 2018 by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") and strong investor demand for higher-yielding fixed income.

For the reporting period, two-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields rose 0.51% and 0.11%, respectively, to close the reporting period at 1.89% and 2.41%, respectively. Meanwhile, 30-year U.S. Treasury yields fell 0.10% to close the reporting period at 2.74%. The Fed raised its policy rate 0.25% once during the reporting period to a range between 1.25% and 1.50%, marking its third such hike in 2017. In addition to the rate hike, the Fed commenced its program of balance sheet tapering in October 2017.

Strong investor optimism and global demand for yield caused nearly all fixed income 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 Mortgage-Backed Securities ("MBS") Index returned 1.11% over the reporting period, compared to the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index's return of 2.45%.

Despite another Fed rate hike, the US dollar weakened by 3.5% over the reporting period, as the prospect for future Fed rate hikes appears to be fully priced into the currency, while inflation data continues to come in well below the Fed's 2% target.

Lastly, oil prices surged 31% higher over the reporting period to close the year at just over $60 per barrel. This was driven by continued improvement in global economic growth (i.e., increased demand) and the possibility for a 2018 extension of the OPEC production freeze (i.e., decreased supply).

Portfolio Performance Summary

What Worked:

•  Duration management: Active duration management contributed to returns over the reporting period. The portfolio had a modest long duration bias in the US, which benefited performance as long-term yields fell during the reporting period. Throughout the period, the portfolio also had exposure to various cross-country relative value duration trades, such as long Australia versus short Germany and long US versus short UK positons, both of which were additive for returns.

•  Sector exposure: The Fund's general overweight to and security selection within various credit sectors (e.g., emerging markets debt, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and investment-grade and high-yield credit) were the primary contributors to returns over the reporting period. Spreads in nearly all fixed income sectors tightened during the reporting period, with higher-risk spread sectors (e.g., high-yield credit and emerging markets debt) outperforming lower-risk spread sectors (e.g., investment-grade credit and agency mortgage-backed securities ["MBS"]).

UBS Total Return Bond Fund

What Didn't Work:

•  Security Selection: The Fund's tactical positioning to agency MBS detracted from performance during the year, as rate volatility picked up in the second half of 2017, causing agency MBS to underperform.

•  Emerging Markets Currencies: The Fund's tactical long exposure to the Argentine peso detracted from performance, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2017, as the peso meaningfully underperformed amid expectations of lower interest rates.

Market Outlook

2017 was characterized by a flatter yield curve, tighter spreads and continued demand for yield, which more than offset continued geopolitical tensions and political uncertainties. 2018 may well be characterized by much of the same. While growth continues to trend higher in major developed markets, global inflation continues to stagnate. We believe that subdued inflation is largely due to slow wage growth, lack of business investment and sluggish productivity growth. Despite this weaker-than-expected inflation data, the Fed remains determined to continue its very gradual tightening policy—in the form of both rate hikes and balance sheet tapering. Meanwhile, monetary policy in the eurozone, UK and Japan is expected to remain ultra-accommodative into 2018, creating further divergence from US monetary policy. Despite all of these uncertainties and pockets of volatility, investor confidence and demand for yield remain strong. This is putting downward pressure on yields and grinding spreads even tighter. Given this backdrop, it is our view that interest rates are likely to trend only modestly higher over the medium-term, due to gradually improving fundamentals and moderately growing inflation.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios as in the October 27, 2017 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.77% and 0.78%; Class C—2.17% and 1.28%; Class P—1.32% and 0.53%. 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 29, 2018, 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 date on 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 the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement, or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. 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 29, 2016. 10 years fund performance is shown for Class P Shares, and the 10 years index performance of the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index is 4.01%. 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 "Reorganization"). 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 have generally similar investment objectives and strategies. Therefore, the information shown above reflects the historical performance of the Predecessor Fund for periods prior to the Reorganization. The performance information shown for periods prior to the Reorganization is for the Predecessor Fund and may not be representative of performance of the Fund.

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 Bond 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, assetbacked and commercial mortgage-backed sectors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

A temporary redemption fee of 2% was imposed on sales of Class P shares of the Fund between May 23, and 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.

Portfolio footnotes

1  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.

2  Variable or floating rate security, linked to the referenced benchmark. The interest rate shown is the current rate at the period end and changes periodically.

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

4  Variable or floating rate security for which the interest rate adjusts periodically based on changes in current interest rates and prepayments on the underlying pool of assets. The interest rate shown is the current rate at the period end.

5  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.

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

7  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.

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, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

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, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

2  Total investment return is calculated assuming a $10,000 investment on the 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 less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends/distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

3  Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

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.

6  Annualized.

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 less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends/distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

3  Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

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

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. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund), UBS Municipal Bond Fund and UBS Total Return 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 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.

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 October 2016, the SEC adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in the investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The amendments to Regulation S-X were applied to the Funds' financial statements as of December 31, 2017. The adoption had no effect on the Funds' net assets or results of operations.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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.

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.


111



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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


112



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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") 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 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.

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


114



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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.

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, 2017, 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.

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, 2017, none of the Funds held written put options.

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.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or US 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 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 or loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain or 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


117



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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 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


118



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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, 2017, except forward foreign currency contracts for UBS Total Return Bond Fund for which the volume during the period was higher than period end.

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, 2017 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities.

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. When loaning portfolio securities, each Fund will initially require the borrower to provide the Fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the loaned securities with respect to domestic securities or 105% of the market value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities, provided that loans of "Government Securities" as defined in the 1940 Act may be collateralized at 100%. Thereafter, collateral will generally be maintained in an amount at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities, 105% of the value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, or 100% of the value of the securities loaned with respect to "Government Securities." Occasionally, for certain securities, the market value of the collateral may fall below the collateral amount stated above by a de minimis amount for a period of time. However, at no time will the market value of the collateral fall below the market value of the loaned securities with respect to domestic securities or 102% of the value of the loaned securities with respect to foreign securities.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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:

1  For the period from September 29, 2016 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017.

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 June 30, 2017, 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 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, 2018.

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.

For federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments, including derivatives, held at December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Fund

  Cost of
investments
  Gross unrealized
appreciation
  Gross unrealized

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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017 or since inception in the case of UBS Municipal Bond Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
