President's letter

February 12, 2021

Dear Shareholder,

I write to you about the end of a year that will frankly go down in history on almost every level. The unabated spread of COVID-19 morphed into a global pandemic which had an unprecedented impact on human lives, global economies and financial markets. In the US, the contraction was the sharpest since the Great Depression, but it was also the shortest.

And that said, we ended the year in a very different place than where we were in the first half of 2020. Highly effective vaccines began to be successfully rolled out and that effort will only accelerate in the new year, hopefully leading to herd immunity and a return to normalcy sooner rather than later.

Major political events that were weighing on investors' minds and creating volatility were resolved, with the UK and European Union reaching a trade deal and a new president elected in the US.

After the massive sell-off in March and a sharp global economic contraction, markets have rebounded and despite the continued spread of COVID-19, additional outbreaks and further lockdowns around the world, with the distribution of vaccinations proceeding the global economy appears to be on a path toward healing.

Central banks globally have continued to support economies and markets with extremely easy monetary policy leading to very low interest rates and in some markets negative interest rates. This trend of lower yields we anticipate will persist for some time.

Ongoing economic stimulus, including a $900 billon second package in the US in December that provided another wave of checks to consumers, continues to support economic growth. US Gross Domestic Product ("GDP") expanded at an annualized pace of 33.4% in 3Q20, almost twice the previous record high. Europe enjoyed a stronger-than-expected rebound in 3Q20 before the pandemic began to weigh on economic activity once again.

Economic activity across emerging markets continued to improve through Q4, supported by accommodative monetary policy, a benign US election result alleviating political risk premia, easing financial conditions, and positive vaccine developments signalling an eventual end to COVID-19 induced disruption. China's economy continued its exceptional pace of recovery, with economic activity led by manufacturing and export demand surpassing pre-COVID-19 levels.

In the second half of the year, global equity markets continued to set all-time highs, with the S&P 500 having risen over 70% from the lows after the pandemic first struck and with the world equity markets (measured by MSCI All Country World Index) returning 16.25% during 2020. Emerging market equities (measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets NR USD Index) closed the year up 19.78%, with the weak US dollar partially contributing to the gains. Global bonds, measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond TR USD Index, advanced on the year up 7.51%.

With the potential for continued volatility ahead, the timeless challenge of building a genuinely diversified portfolio capable of delivering growth and downside protection takes on an added degree of difficulty given the low starting point for sovereign bond yields across advanced economies.

We believe that there are many diverse and 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.

The markets in review

A global recession and a bounce back

The COVID-19 pandemic drove the global economy during the reporting period, as governments around the world instituted lockdowns in an attempt to stem the spread of the virus. In the US, the full impact of the pandemic was felt in the second quarter, as gross domestic product ("GDP") declined by 31.4% as compared with the previous quarter—the steepest decline on record. With large portions of the economy reopening, third quarter GDP growth was 33.4%, the largest increase on record. Finally, the Commerce Department's initial estimate for fourth quarter annualized GDP growth—released after the reporting period ended—was 4.0%.

Amid the fallout from COVID-19, the US Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") took a number of aggressive actions to support the economy and maintain the proper functioning of the financial markets. Looking back, the Fed lowered interest rates twice in March 2020, to a range between 0.00% and 0.25%. Later in the month, the Fed announced it would make unlimited purchases of Treasury and mortgage securities. The Fed also expanded its credit facilities to include the purchase of individual corporate bonds. Finally, at its meeting in September, Fed officials projected that rates could stay anchored near zero through 2023. Central banks outside the US, including the European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan, also maintained highly accommodative monetary policies during the reporting period.

From a global perspective, in its October 2020 World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") said, "The global economy is climbing out from the depths to which it had plummeted during the Great Lockdown in April. But with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to spread, many countries have slowed reopening and some are reinstating partial lockdowns to protect susceptible populations. While recovery in China has been faster than expected, the global economy's long ascent back to pre-pandemic levels of activity remains prone to setbacks." From a regional perspective, the IMF projected the US economy would contract 4.3% in 2020, compared to the 2.2% GDP expansion in 2019. Elsewhere, the IMF anticipates that 2020 GDP growth in the eurozone, UK and Japan will be -8.3%, -9.8% and -5.3%, respectively. For comparison purposes, the GDP of these economies expanded 1.3%, 1.5% and 0.7%, respectively, in 2019.

Global equities post robust results

Despite the initial impact from the pandemic and a surge in new virus cases late in the reporting period, the global equity market produced outstanding results during the six-months ended December 31, 2020. US stocks initially moved higher, but then experienced a setback in September and October, partially driven by uncertainties surrounding the November presidential election. A similar dynamic also played out in stock markets overseas. However, global equities then sharply rallied over the last two months of the year. This turnaround occurred given the aggressive actions by global central banks, and, late in the period, news of several effective COVID-19 vaccines, the resolution of the US election and the long-awaited Brexit agreement. For the six-months ended December 31, 2020, the S&P 500 Index1 gained 22.16% and ended the year at an all-time high. Outside the US, international developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),2 returned 21.61% during the reporting period, while emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),3 gained 31.14%.

1  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.

2  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.

3  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.

The markets in review

Riskier fixed income securities outperform

After posting strong results over the first half of the year, the overall global fixed income market generated more modest returns over the six months ended December 31, 2020. In the US, long-term Treasury yields moved higher (bond yields and prices move in the opposite direction). For the six month reporting period as a whole, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury rose from 0.66% to 0.93%. Government bond yields outside the US were mixed over the period. The overall US bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index,4 returned 1.29% during the six-months ended December 31, 2020. Investors who took on more risk were rewarded with much stronger returns. High yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofAML US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index,5 returned 11.45%. Elsewhere, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),6 gained 7.89% during the reporting period.

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

5  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.

6  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, 2020, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned 9.87% (Class A shares returned 3.79% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 9.95%. For purposes of comparison, the ICE BofA US Treasury 1-5 Year Index retuned 0.14% during the same time period, the MSCI World Index (net) returned 23.00%, and the FTSE One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 0.05%. (Class P shares have lower expenses than the other share class 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.)

During the reporting period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our active currency strategy, utilizing currency forwards had a direct positive impact on performance. Derivatives were just one tool, among others, that we used to implement our market allocation strategy.

The revised structure of the Fund during the reporting period—in particular having a strategic allocation to equities—was beneficial, as they continued to rebound. The last six months of 2020 where divided in two very distinct parts. The beginning of this period was characterized by a macroeconomic environment which had anticipated an economic recovery, but then was disappointed by the resurgence of the pandemic. The second part of the period, essentially the fourth quarter, was dominated by positive news on vaccines and the anticipation of a stronger fiscal stimulus as a consequence of an increasingly probable change in government administration. These last effects lead to outperformance of cyclical themes in the portfolio, and value as an investment style staged a strong recovery. The Fund very much benefited from these trends. Furthermore, allocations to investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds contributed to the Fund's absolute performance. Additionally, both market allocation decisions and active currency allocation decisions contributed to performance. This was especially the case in the fourth quarter, all "three layers of DAS" contributed to results.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Overall, the portfolio's strategic allocations to equities and bonds contributed to performance.

  – Our strategic allocation to global equities proved successful over the reporting period, as the asset class recovered from the COVID-19 induced selloff and delivered positive returns.

  – Strategic exposure to fixed income was also additive for results, despite the increase in US rates. In particular, an allocation to high-yield corporate bonds was positive, due to narrowing credit spreads

•  Overall, market allocation decisions were additive for results.

  – The portfolio entered the reporting period with a cautious stance on equities. However, after our sentiment model signaled a positive environment for risky assets, which we were able to confirm qualitatively as described above, we increased exposure to equities and cyclicality in the Fund's relative trades.

  – Within equities, performance was positively impacted by equity relative value trades, including a preference for emerging market equities versus developed market equities. This contributed to performance, as the more cyclical exposure to semiconductor and hardware stocks in the emerging markets outperformed developed market stocks. Elsewhere, a long value versus world equities position contributed to results, as momentum turned in favor towards value and international stocks. Lastly, a long Stoxx600 Banks vs Eurostoxx50 position contributed to returns, as deep value sectors, such as banks, benefited from positive vaccine announcements.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

•  Overall, active currency positions contributed to results.

  – Most notably, long positions in the Colombian peso, Mexican peso, Chilean peso, and Brazilian real versus the US dollar were beneficial due to favorable global growth, commodity price developments and US dollar depreciation.

  – Additionally, the more cyclical European currencies, such as the Norwegian krone and Swedish krona, performed well in this environment.

What didn't work:

•  Certain market allocation decisions detracted from results.

  – Most notably within equities, performance was negatively impacted by a long emerging market small-cap versus US small-cap relative value trade. This was closed when the relative growth dynamics between the US and the Eurozone started to revert. Another small detractor from performance was a long UK versus EuroStoxx50 position. We were early in anticipating the full pricing of Brexit uncertainties, but continue to believe in the trade as valuation, relative growth and—we feel—excessive investment pessimism on the UK economy should revert.

  – Within fixed income, a long US two-year Treasury versus US 10-year Treasury trade was flat as the yield curve remained largely stable as neither the Pfizer vaccine announcement nor the US election had a material impact on the trade.

•  Certain active currency positions detracted from performance.

  – Most notably, short positions in the New Zealand dollar, Australian dollar, and Canadian dollar versus the US dollar detracted from performance. Continued improvement in global growth and trade improvements led to underperformance against the US dollar. Nevertheless, these shorts are useful diversifiers from the otherwise overall short US dollar position.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.03% and 1.38%; Class P—1.78% 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 and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 1.35% for Class A 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 fiscal 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  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.

3  The ICE BofA 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.

4  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.

5  The FTSE 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.

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 Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") returned 19.65% (Class A shares returned 13.05% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 19.75%. In contrast, the Fund's benchmark, the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD), returned 14.55% during the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) returned 24.01% and the FTSE World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) returned 0.98%. (Class P shares have lower expenses than the other share class of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 20; 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. Security selection, market allocation decisions, and currency strategy was all additive to 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 positive impact on 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, were additive to performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked:

•  Overall, bottom-up security selection contributed to performance.

  – All strategies contributed to performance over the reporting period. More specifically, performance in the US Large Cap Value, US Large Cap Growth, and Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity strategies were areas of strong security selection that contributed overall to performance. In addition, the International Equity strategy was beneficial for returns, mainly through strong stock selection.

•  Overall, market allocations were additive to returns.

  – Overall, an overweight to equities and underweight to fixed income contributed to relative performance.

  – Within equities, the Fund benefited from its preference for emerging market stocks over developed market stocks. In particular, we emphasized technology stocks and economically sensitive stocks, such as semiconductors. In both cases, they benefited from the pandemic-driven work-from-home trend. Furthermore, a preference for US small-cap over US large-cap stocks was positive for returns. Over the period, investors shifted focus away from US large-cap stocks due to improving profit margins and the likelihood of US domestic stimulus.

  – Within fixed income, an overweight to investment grade fixed income contributed to performance, as a positive environment for credit benefited from the explicit support for corporates from the US Federal Reserve. In addition, an overweight to emerging market fixed income benefited from the general trend of lower yields and abundant global cash supply.


18



UBS Global Allocation Fund

•  Overall, active currency positions contributed to performance.

  – Most notably, long positions in the Chilean peso, Colombian peso, Mexican peso, Brazilian real, and European FX versus the US dollar were beneficial over the period as favorable global growth, commodity price developments, and US dollar depreciation contributed to their performance.

What didn't work:

•  Bottom-up security selection detracted from performance in some areas.

  – Most notably, security selection within the US large-cap growth active strategy was a drag on performance, driven by negative stock selection in the portfolio.

•  Certain market allocations were a headwind for returns in some areas.

  – Within equities, the Fund's underweight to non-US developed market equities detracted from performance. Global equities rallied, supported by optimism over the rollout of vaccines, which offset concerns over rising COVID-19 cases in many parts of the world.

  – Within fixed income, the Fund's overweight to US government bonds detracted from performance. The US Treasury 2-year versus US Treasury 10-year was a headwind, as the yield curve remained mostly stable over the reporting period, as neither the Pfizer vaccine announcement nor the US election had a material impact on the trade. Furthermore, an overweight to Canadian and Australian fixed income detracted from performance on a relative basis.

•  Certain active currency positions detracted from performance in some areas.

  – Noteworthy, short positions in New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar, and Australian dollar versus the US dollar detracted from results, as cyclical global growth improvements alongside rising commodity prices contributed to the variance of the broader US dollar.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.50% and 1.28%; Class P—1.22% and 1.03%. 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 and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 1.20% for Class A 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 fiscal 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  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.

3  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.

4  The FTSE 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.

5  The 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% FTSE 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.

3  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. Securities exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A, in the amount of $16,427,356, represented 6.5% of the Fund's net assets at period end.

4  Variable or floating rate security. The interest rate shown is the current rate as of December 31, 2020 and changes periodically.

5  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. Rate shown is the rate in effect as of period end.

6  Step bond—coupon rate increases in increments to maturity. The rate disclosed is the rate at the period end; the maturity date disclosed is the ultimate maturity date.

7  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.

8  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.

9  Rates shown reflect yield at December 31, 2020.

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

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

UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Class P2 shares of UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") returned 33.94%, while Class P shares returned 33.32%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) (the "Index"), returned 31.14%. Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

The Fund posted a positive return and outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

• On a sector level, stock selection within information technology (IT) and financials added value.

• On a stock level, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) (Taiwan, IT) and MercadoLibre (US, consumer discretionary) were among the top contributors to performance over the reporting period.

• Shares of TSMC continued to rise, as it has arguably extended its industry leadership during 2020. In our view, the company is now an even more important partner in delivering leading edge semiconductor chips for its customers. MercadoLibre outperformed on the back of strong execution, which boosted its market share gains within e-commerce and financial technology, sectors that have been benefiting from secular trends of increasing digital adoption by consumers and merchants in Latin America. These trends were further boosted by COVID-19-related disruptions.

What didn't work:

• On a sector level, stock selection within consumer discretionary and real estate detracted from performance.

• On a stock level, China Jinmao and TAL Education were among the main headwinds for results over the reporting period

• Shares of China Jinmao fell as the company released results that were below expectations due to margin compression. We eliminated this position during the reporting period. TAL Education underperformed as its third quarter results came in below market expectations, particularly on margins. This occurred as TAL Education increased spending to secure its leading position in the more competitive online after-school tutorial market. We continue to hold TAL Education.

• The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.

This letter is intended to assist shareholders in understanding how the Fund performed during the period from the six months ended December 31, 2020.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class P2—1.17% and 0.22%; Class P—1.19% 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 and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 1.00% for Class P shares and 0.40% for Class P2 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 fiscal 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 Class P2 of UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund is June 4, 2018. Benchmark's inception return is based on Class P2 inception date.

2  Class P2 shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P2 shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

3  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 nonresident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

4  Inception date of Class P of UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund is January 31, 2019.

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 Engage For Impact Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Class P shares of UBS Engage For Impact Fund (the "Fund") returned 29.28%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) (the "Index"), returned 24.01% over the same time period. (Please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. This was driven predominantly by the strategy's bottom-up stock selection process.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  The Fund's positioning in the industrial sector, as well as stock selection within the sector, contributed positively to relative performance during the six months ended December 31, 2020. Stock selection within the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors also benefited relative performance for the period.

•  Montrose Environmental Group contributed positively to performance during the reporting period after the company's shares performed well following their IPO in July 2020.

•  AGCO Corp. contributed positively to performance after the company delivered strong second quarter results in July of 2020. AGCO's margins were particularly strong in North and South America, boosted by the continued adoption of precision planting technology by farmers.

•  Infineon Technologies' share price performed well in the second half of 2020, with the company reporting solid revenue growth. Primary drivers of revenue growth were the Automotive (ATV) and Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) divisions, as target markets like the automotive sector recovered faster than expected and the electrification of vehicles trend continued to accelerate. While the Cypress acquisition did stretch the company's balance sheet, the integration appears on track. We remain confident in Infineon's good mergers and acquisitions (M&A) track record, and expect this integration to accelerate sales growth and improved margins over time. In the longer term, we believe there should be significant revenue synergies as the group is able to provide customers with a broader platform-style offering. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

What didn't work:

•  Stock selection in materials and financials detracted the most from relative performance during the six-month reporting period ended December 31, 2020.

•  Incyte's share price declined during the six-month period due to disruptions to new patient starts. These resulted from lockdown restrictions and some delays on the pipeline front due to the pandemic. We continue to hold this stock.

•  The share price of VMware, like that of many other software companies, was impacted by the market rotation into more cyclical, or economically sensitive, names in the second half of 2020. The stock also struggled due to the ongoing uncertainty around the company, as investors wait to see whether there may be a Dell spin-off of the company. We continue to hold this stock.

UBS Engage For Impact Fund

•  The Fund did not own Apple which detracted from relative performance. We do not believe Apple qualifies for this Fund, as the technology giant does not derive revenues from impactful products and services.

Portfolio highlights

•  Aptiv Plc manufactures electrical and electronic vehicle (EV) components that enable safer, greener and smarter mobility. The company's segments include Power & Signal Solutions (SPS), and Advanced Safety & User Experience (ASUE). We believe Aptiv will benefit from a high level of original equipment manager (OEM) spend on active safety, infotainment and electrification, which should enable the company to outperform global production through fiscal year 2022. Moreover, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the key trends of EVs and autonomous vehicles (AVs), given its strong market position in connectors, high voltage harnesses and autonomy. Over the long-term, we believe the company's product offerings in hyper-growth areas offer a clear opportunity for continued growth throughout the next decade. Aptiv has a strong sustainability strategy with driver safety, reduction in CO2 emissions and greater fuel economy at the heart of its technologies' purpose.

•  Infineon Technologies provides semiconductor and system solutions, and operates through the following segments: Automotive, Industrial Power Control (IPC), Power & Sensor Systems (PSS), and Connected Secure Systems. We believe that Infineon is now a much higher quality business than it was in the 2000s. The company exited from the low-quality and volatile dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) business, together with the volatile and research & development (R&D)-intensive wireless and wireline businesses. Ninety percent of Infineon's sales now come from the far higher-quality Automotive, IPC and PSS divisions, which benefit from lower capital intensity and volatility of earnings. The company has a leading position in automotive and power semiconductors, which should benefit from the increasing focus on energy efficiency and increased automation in cars. Infineon has a strong sustainability strategy that includes well-integrated environmental targets and processes across the whole value chain.

•  Linde is the largest industrial gas company following the Praxair-Linde merger in 2018. We view Linde as a high-quality industrial gas company that is well-diversified across geographies and end markets. We believe Linde has several internal levers that can drive margin expansion and provide significant cash back to shareholders over the next three years. Linde has a focused approach for developing a sustainable product portfolio that provides environmental and social benefits, with a target of more than 50% revenue share by 2028. The company is focused on cleantech opportunities such as ultra-low-sulfur fuels, hydrogen filling stations and wastewater treatment. Linde's comprehensive carbon mitigation strategy includes an aggressive carbon reduction goal to reduce GHG emission intensity by 35% (million tons of CO2e /adjusted EBITDA) by 2028 from 2018. The company scores well from an environmental efficiency perspective in relation to peers, as measured by carbon emissions and other pollutant emissions.

•  The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—2.27% and 0.85%. 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 and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 0.85% 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 fiscal 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 Class P of UBS Engage For Impact Fund is October 24, 2018. Benchmark's inception return is based on Class P inception date.

2  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.

3  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.

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 International Sustainable Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Class A shares of UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 23.85% (Class A shares returned 17.03% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), Class P shares returned 23.95%, while Class P2 shares returned 17.84% from their inception date of October 30, 2020. The Fund's new benchmark, (MSCI ACWI ex-US Index) (the "Index"), returned 24.33%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's previous benchmark, the MSCI World ex USA Index (net), returned 21.55%.1 (Class P2 shares have lower expenses than the other share classes in the series. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 48; 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 underperformed the MSCI ACWI ex-US benchmark over the reporting period but outperformed the MSCI World ex USA benchmark.

Portfolio performance summary2

What worked:

•  Stock selection in the materials, energy and communication services sectors contributed to relative performance.

•  LG Chem's share price contributed to performance, given expectations for a recovery in demand as the global economy reopens and the company continues to benefit from electric vehicle (EV) momentum. Towards the end of September 2020, the company announced its intention to split off its Energy Solutions Company so that it may operate more independently and effectively.

•  Shares of Neste performed well following stronger than expected third quarter 2020 results, driven mainly by its Renewable Products' strong sales margins. We believe that recent developments in both Europe (the European Union Commission calling for greater emissions reductions by 2030) and the US (President Biden's) focus on climate change bode well for Neste's renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel.

•  Infineon Technologies' share price performed well in the second half of 2020, with the company reporting solid revenue growth. This was primarily driven by the company's Automotive (ATV) and Power & Sensor Systems (PSS) businesses, as target markets like the automotive sector recovered faster than expected and the electrification of vehicles trend continues to accelerate. While the company's Cypress acquisition stretched its balance sheet, the integration appears on track and we remain confident in Infineon Technologies' good merger and acquisition (M&A) track record and expect this integration to accelerate sales growth and improved margins over time. In the longer term, there should be significant revenue synergies as the company is able to provide customers with a broader platform-style offering.

What didn't work:

•  Stock selection in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors, along with the Fund's overall positioning in health care, detracted the most from relative performance during the reporting period.

•  Galapagos' share price declined after the receipt of complete response letter (CRL) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in late summer for their lead program, Filgotinib, an oral JAK-1 inhibitor. Following the FDA feedback suggesting the lack of a clear regulatory path forward in the US, Galapagos and Gilead announced in December 2020 a significant restructuring of their collaboration agreement. The companies will instead concentrate their efforts on IBD indications such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's. We continue to hold this stock.

1  Effective October 28, 2019, the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index replaced MSCI World ex USA Index (net) as the Fund's primary benchmark because it more closely aligns with the Fund's investment strategy.

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

UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund

•  Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company was not held in the portfolio, which detracted from relative performance during this reporting period.

•  H Lundbeck's share price suffered due to lack of near-term pipeline catalysts, as several high risk/reward early stage programs were terminated in 2020. We sold out of this stock prior to the ending of the reporting period.

Portfolio highlights

•  Sony is a conglomerate engaged in the production of various kinds of electronic equipment, production and licensing of music and films. Sony has transformed its business portfolio significantly over several years. We believe Sony will be able to grow its earnings in a sustainable way, at least for the next three to five years. Keys to achieving this are its game and network services segment and the successful launch of PS5. The restructuring of its Mobile Communication and Pictures businesses is also very important. There is clearly a positive sign in Pictures, as it has had higher hit rate in recent years—although the film industry is currently in standstill with the closure of cinemas. On the other hand, Sony's video game segment is benefiting from the lockdown. Sony has rated highly based on our sustainability model, lifted by its environmental efficiency.

•  Infineon Technologies engages in the provision of semiconductor and system solutions. It operates through the following segments: Automotive, Industrial Power Control, Power & Sensor systems, and Connected Secure Systems. Infineon Technologies is now a much higher quality business than in the 2000s. The company exited from the very low quality and volatile DRAM business, together with the volatile and R&D intensive wireless and wireline businesses. 90% of Infineon Technologies' sales now come from the far higher quality Automotive, IPC and PSS divisions, which benefit from lower capital intensity and volatility of earnings. The company has a leading position in automotive and power semiconductors, which should benefit from increased focus on energy efficiency and increased automation in cars. The company has a strong sustainability strategy, including well-integrated environmental targets and processes across the whole value chain.

•  Neste is an oil refiner focused on clean fuel solutions and applications based on renewable raw materials. Neste engages in the production of petroleum products and supply of renewable diesel. Its Renewable Products segment (20% of revenues) produces, markets, and sells renewable diesel, renewable jet fuels and solutions, renewable solvents as well as raw material for bioplastics. We believe the current share price doesn't reflect the potential growth of demand of the renewable fuels business, and that continued demand would justify the extra capacity investments coming on stream. In addition, Neste's net-cash position offers flexibility and we forecast solid free cash flow growth over the next five years. Neste's advanced pre-treatment technology gives a significant cost advantage on waste based renewable diesel. Neste has a strong sustainability strategy and is committed to reduce their customers' emissions by 20 million tons annually by 2030, and to reach carbon neutral production by 2035.

•  PT Bank Central Asia (BCA) is an Indonesian bank offering individual and business products and services. BCA continues to generate one of the highest returns in the Indonesian and regional banking sectors, driven by positive domestic structural macro momentum and better leverage of its depositor franchise. BCA's solid balance sheet strength comes from low loan deposit ratio, strong current and saving accounts offer and its transactional banking franchise. In the last five years, loan growth came from mortgages, high coverage buffer to absorb rising non-performing loans, high CET1 ratio and conservative management. We believe its valuation remains at a premium to the rest of sector, but is supported by leading balance sheet and management quality. The bank provides accessible saving solutions and life insurance to an underserved market. BCA also develops social programs in education and financial literacy.

UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund

•  Nintendo is an innovative global videogame company and is the publisher of seven of top 10 selling video games of all time. We believe Nintendo is well insulated from the disruption of streaming, as the company is content rich and owns 100% of their content. Moreover, Nintendo's successful switch platform could benefit from recent shifts to streaming, as it has a preferred lower-price-point console to access their games. The company is benefiting from secular earnings quality improvement in the software industry, including digital downloads, in-game purchases, subscription models, and IP monetization, which are expanding its margins and reducing its earnings volatility. In 2019, the company announced a partnership with Tencent to enter the Chinese market and also invested in mobile gaming for the first time, and we see upside in this additional fast-growth income stream. Corporate governance has improved over the years and in their last Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report, Nintendo acknowledged the need for ongoing ESG improvement, particularly in areas of waste reduction and the social impact of its games.

•  The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.41% and 1.25%; Class P—1.12% and 1.00%; Class P2—1.12% and 0.25%. 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 and administrator ("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, 1.00% for Class P shares and 0.25% for Class P2 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  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.

3  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.

4  Effective October 28, 2019, the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index replaced MSCI World ex USA Index (net) as the Fund's primary benchmark because it more closely aligns with the Fund's investment strategy

5  Inception date of Class P2 of UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund is October 30, 2020.

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 US Dividend Ruler Fund

Portfolio Performance

For the period from its inception on July 9, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the "reporting period"), Class P shares of UBS US Dividend Ruler Fund (the "Fund") returned 13.75%. For comparison purposes, the S&P 500 Index (the "Index") returned 20.08%. 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.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Sector allocation, overall, contributed to relative performance, led by an overweight to industrials, an underweight to real estate and an overweight to financials.

•  In terms of stock selection, holdings in the communication services, consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors were the most additive to results.

•  A number of individual holding were beneficial for performance, including:

  – Comcast Corp.'s stock strongly outperformed toward the end of the year, following positive COVID-19 vaccine developments. Comcast's Parks and TV advertising segments should benefit as the economy reopens.

  – Shares of Medtronic Plc. rebounded in the second half of the year. Medtronic has been pressured by the deferral of elective procedures given the need to free up hospital capacity to support COVID-19 patients. As a broader vaccine rollout helps alleviate capacity constraints, medical procedure volumes should resume as well.

  – V.F. Corp's. shares also recovered sharply following positive COVID-19 vaccine developments late in the year. Retailers such as V.F. Corp have been among the most adversely impacted during the pandemic given store closures and shifts in back-to-school demand.

What didn't work

•  Stock selection, overall, detracted from relative performance, with holdings in the information technology, consumer discretionary and real estate sectors being the largest negatives for results.

•  In terms of sector allocation, overweights to energy and consumer staples, along with an underweight to information technology, were the largest detractor from relative returns.

•  A number of individual holding were negative for performance, including:

  – Shares of Intel Corp. lagged following a disappointing second quarter earnings release where the company unexpectedly announced manufacturing delays in its transition from 10- to 7-nanometer processors. While disappointing, the introduction of a new, well-respected Chief Executive Officer, and continued strong demand for its personal computing and datacenter products should support an earnings and valuation rebound. We continue to hold the stock.

  – Amgen, Inc. saw its shares underperform following disappointing late stage clinical results for its heart failure drug in October 2020. Despite the disappointment, our thesis for Amgen appears intact, supported by a diversified portfolio of blockbuster and biosimilar products, as well as two other promising late stage assets for various cancers and severe asthma. We continue to hold the stock.

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


54



UBS US Dividend Ruler Fund

  – Cisco Systems, Inc.'s. stock has been an underperformer, especially relative to the technology sector, given the company's exposure to on-premise campus networking equipment and small- and medium-enterprises. An eventual return-to-office environment, continued datacenter growth, and continued shift to recurring revenues support our long-term thesis for the company. We continue to hold the stock.

•  The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—0.78% and 0.50%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 0.50% for Class P shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three fiscal 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.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  In terms of stock selection, holdings in the health care, industrials and financials sectors were the most additive for relative performance.

•  Looking at sector allocation, an overweight to consumer discretionary was the only meaningful contributor to performance.

•  A number of individual holding were beneficial for performance, including:

  – Apple, Inc. benefited from a combination of a growing contribution of service revenues and optimism of a strong iPhone 12 replacement cycle.

  – Honeywell International, Inc. While Honeywell was adversely impacted from the downturn given its exposure to aerospace and energy end-markets, the company posted better-than-expected third quarter 2020 results, Management also provided optimistic guidance on returning to growth as the global economy begins to normalize in 2021. Expectations of increased stimulus and infrastructure spending under a Biden administration and positive COVID-19 vaccine data further supported Honeywell International's shares.

  – UnitedHealth Group, Inc.'s shares rallied following the 2020 election on the expectations that a split government/narrow Democratic majority likely hampers the government's ability to enact onerous healthcare insurance reform.

What didn't work

•  Stock selection, overall, detracted from relative performance, with holdings in the information technology, consumer discretionary and real estate sectors being the largest negatives for performance.

•  Sector allocation, overall, was also a headwind for relative returns, driven by an underweight to information technology, along with overweights to communications services and financials.

•  A number of individual holding were negative for performance, including:

  – Shares of American Tower Corp. lagged in 2020, due to instability in the Indian telecom market and a lack of clarity regarding the terms of its long-term lease with T-Mobile. Both issues have since been resolved and our positive fundamental view for the company remains unchanged, supported by continued global mobile data consumption and 5G rollouts. We continue to hold the stock.

  – Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.'s shares underperformed given reduced economic activity during the pandemic leading to lower transaction payment volumes for the company. As economic activity, consumer spending, and cross-border mobility normalize in a post-vaccine world, we believe the company should benefit. We continue to hold the stock.

  – Amazon.com, Inc. was a key beneficiary during the outset of the pandemic with its dominant e-commerce and cloud computing platforms. As investors began to look towards an economic recovery in the second-half of 2020, Amazon.com's shares stagnated as investors gravitated away from growth stocks towards value stocks. We continue to hold the stock.

•  The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—0.78% and 0.50%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 0.50% for Class P shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three fiscal 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 Class P of UBS US Quality Growth at Reasonable Price Fund is July 09, 2020.

2  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.

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned 48.14% (Class A shares returned 39.98% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 48.24%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned 38.88% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than the other share class of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 69; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund's outperformance was driven primarily by successful stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Several stock selection decisions made a positive contribution to Fund performance during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

  – Enphase Energy, a manufacturer of solar power solutions, outperformed based on optimism about the continued recovery of solar installations from the sharp pandemic-related decline. In addition, the attachment rate, or pace of add-on sales, of the company's Encharge storage system was attractive to investors. We sold the stock during the reporting period.

  – Magnite's share price rose after reporting solid third-quarter results. Magnite also benefited from increased investor enthusiasm around ad-tech solutions for connected TV (CTV).

  – Livongo Health, a developer of applied health signals for the treatment of chronic health conditions, outperformed during the period after agreeing to be acquired by Teladoc Health. The transaction, which gave each Livongo shareholder $11.33 in cash and 0.592 shares of Teladoc, closed in late October 2020. We sold our position in Teladoc soon after the merger.

  – Shares of NanoString Technologies, a provider of life science tools for translational research and molecular diagnostics, outperformed after the company hosted an analyst day and introduced a new Spatial Molecular Imager platform.

  – Chart Industries, a manufacturer of specialized capital equipment used throughout the industrial gas and energy industries, outperformed based on investor enthusiasm for the company's hydrogen-related equipment and infrastructure opportunity.

What didn't work:

•  Certain stock selection decisions detracted from relative returns during the six-month period ended December 31, 2020.

  – Alteryx, a leader in data science and self-service analytics, declined after reporting second quarter results that included flat year-over-year bookings. Company management cited longer sales cycles, slower expansions, smaller deal sizes, and difficulty onboarding and ramping up new sales representatives to explain the underperformance. We continue to hold this stock.

  – Plug Power designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes fuel cell systems for electric lift trucks and material handling systems. The Fund did not hold the company's shares during the reporting period, which hindered returns relative to the benchmark.

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


67



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

  – Grocery Outlet, a grocery retailer, underperformed during the period despite reporting better-than-expected sales and earnings. Investors grew concerned about decelerating same-store sales trends during the fourth quarter. We continue to hold this stock

  – Shares of Adverum Biotechnologies, a biotechnology company focused on serious ocular and rare diseases, underperformed for the six months. The disclosure that a competitor had received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA concerning a new drug to treat wet age-related macular degeneration made investors wary about the potential implications for Adverum's development programs. We continue to hold this stock.

  – Ollie's Bargain Outlet, a discount and closeout retailer, underperformed after the company reported a deceleration in fourth quarter sales. We sold out of this stock after the reporting period.

Portfolio highlights

•  Magnite is a provider of a technology solution to automate the purchase and sale of digital advertising inventory for buyers and sellers. We believe the long-term growth drivers, which include cord-cutting, ad-driven connected TV (CTV) growth and CTV upside, remain intact for the company, which is beginning to execute well on the opportunity in front of it.

•  Chegg is a leading student-first connected learning platform designed to improve student outcomes. The company operates an integrated platform of educational services that are connected, online, on-demand, personalized, adaptive and affordable. Chegg has successfully transformed itself from a capital-intensive textbook rental company into a student services platform with strong sales and earnings growth momentum. The company continues to invest in expanding the breadth of its offering and growing its international footprint.

•  Generac is a manufacturer of backup power generation products for residential, light commercial and industrial markets. The company is executing well with a favorable backdrop for sales. Opportunities for upside include a recovery in the energy sector; interest from the telecom market, whose national account customers are interested in protecting the uptime of their networks; as well as power outages ahead of current baseline expectations.

•  Chart Industries is a leading manufacturer and provider of cryogenic equipment used to produce, distribute and store liquefied natural gas (LNG). The company offers turnkey LNG solutions with a global geographic footprint. We expect it to continue to benefit from the transition to natural gas and away from coal for power generation. We believe that Chart has multiple growth drivers, including large-scale LNG projects, uptake of its hydrogen-related equipment and infrastructure, and accelerating growth in its aftermarket Repair, Service & Leasing and Specialty Products businesses.

• The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.61% and 1.25%; Class P—1.30% 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 and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 1.24% for Class A 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 fiscal 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  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.

3  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.

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.

UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 33.24% (Class A shares returned 25.90% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 33.44%. The Fund's benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (the "Index"), returned 22.16% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than the other share class in the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 77; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. This was driven predominantly by stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  The Fund's allocation to and stock selection within the industrial sector contributed positively to performance during the six-month period. Stock selection in consumer discretionary also added value.

•  Several stock selection decisions benefited relative performance during the reporting period.

  – AGCO Corp. contributed positively to performance after the company delivered strong second quarter results in July of 2020. AGCO's margins were particularly strong in North and South America, boosted by the continued adoption of precision planting technology by farmers.

  – LiveRamp Holdings outperformed during the reporting period after reporting strong results. We believe that the increasing drive toward privacy by Google and Apple can be well-managed and in fact turned into a business opportunity for LiveRamp. The company is building an online advertising alternative to third-party cookies, which Google is in the process of banning. We sold out of this stock after the reporting period.

  – Shares of Aptiv traded higher after the company delivered solid third quarter results and as the automotive sector began to see improvement following a multi-year recession. Looking ahead, we believe Aptiv is well-positioned to capture the expected sharp electric vehicle (EV) sales growth in Europe and China.

What didn't work:

•  The Fund's overweight positions in the health care and financial sectors detracted the most during the six-month period.

  – The Fund suffered from a lack of exposure to Apple, one of the largest names in the benchmark, which posted strong performance and was not held in the Fund.

  – The share price of VMware, like that of many other software companies, was impacted by the market rotation into more cyclical, or economically sensitive, names in the second half of 2020. We continue to hold this stock. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Incyte's share price declined during the six-month period due to disruptions to new patient starts due to ongoing lockdown restrictions. We continute to hold this stock.

UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund

Portfolio highlights

•  MSA Safety develops, manufactures, and sells innovative products that enhance the safety and health of workers and protect facility infrastructures. These include hard hats, safety harnesses and gas detectors (energy). Fifty percent of the company's revenue is sensitive to employment levels. Management indicated that short-cycle industrial and energy orders declined sharply, but noted that overall orders were up 10% year-over-year in April 2020 as orders for respirators grew 60% to account for eight percent of sales. Respirator orders continue to accelerate because the product is useful for pandemic-related applications, for example, workers disinfecting planes wear these masks.

•  Starbucks engages in the production, marketing and retailing of specialty coffee. The company is rapidly expanding in China, with over 4,000 stores today and a runway to more than 10,000. In the US, the company is gaining share with its mobile platform innovations, loyalty enhancements and to-go-only stores. While COVID-19 has impacted sales in the short term, management anticipates margin recovery to pre-COVID levels two quarters after sales volume recovery. This would indicate June of 2021 in China and September of 2021 in the US. Nevertheless, we believe that Starbucks' streamlined business allows it to focus more resources on expanding in China. We expect the company's strategy to grow mobile transactions, loyalty reliance and to-go-only stores should drive market share and productivity gains in the US.

•  Take-Two Interactive develops, publishes and markets interactive software games. The videogame market is a growing entertainment content industry, more similar to the movie and television industries than to the enterprise or PC/Mac software industries. We believe that videogame companies including Take-Two should grow faster than the core due to digital downloads, which are more profitable; increased genres, especially action; studios and platforms, including virtual reality, mobile and streaming; new engagement models, such as subscriptions and competitive gaming/esports; geographic growth, particularly in Asia and South America; portfolio growth; and multiplayer networked gaming. Take-Two's revenue growth and margin expansion have exceeded our initial expectations. The trends toward the digitization of games, micro transactions and e-sports have all played out as anticipated.

•  The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses, supplemented from time to time, were as follows: Class A—1.97% and 0.95%; Class P—1.68% 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 and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 0.95% for Class A 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 fiscal 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  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.

3  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.

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

UBS Municipal Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Class A shares of UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 2.63% (Class A shares returned 0.32% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 2.67%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), returned 3.07%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1-17) Index returned -0.20% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than the other share class of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 82; 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 partially due to yield curve positioning and its positioning in a number of sectors.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Yield curve positioning along some portions of the curve contributed to performance. In particular, overweights to the 10 and 20 year portions of the curve were beneficial for performance. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.)

•  Our quality biases were positive in certain ratings categories. An overweight to relatively higher quality A-rated securities was positive for results

•  An underweight to the housing sector and an overweight to the leasing sector were beneficial for relative results.

•  Security selection, overall, was a modest contributor for performance.

What didn't work:

•  Allocations to certain portions of the yield curve detracted from performance. Having an underweight to the 22+ year portion of the curve was negative for relative results.

•  Underweights in the hospital and industrial development revenue/polution control revenue sectors detracted from performance relative to the benchmark.

•  An underweight to lower quality BBB-rated securities was a headwind for relative returns. An overweight to AA-rated securities was also a drag on returns.

•  The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.00% and 0.65%; Class P—0.74% 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 28, 2021, do not exceed 0.65% for Class A 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 fiscal 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  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 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.

5  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.

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 Sustainable Development Bank Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2020 (the "reporting period"), Class P shares of UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 0.08%, while Class P2 shares returned 0.27% from their inception date of October 30, 2020. For comparison purposes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index (the "Index") returned -0.66% during the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the Solactive Global Multilateral Development Bank Bond USD 40% 1-5 Year 60% 5-10 Year Total Return Index, retuned 0.09% during the reporting period. 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.

Fund overview

The Fund seeks current income. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds and/or instruments that provide exposure to bonds issued by development banks. Development banks are financial organizations formed by government entities to promote economic and social development.

The development bank bond market typically follows high-quality US government bonds. As each of the global Multilateral Development Banks ("MDB") are supranational entities backed by multiple member governments, MDBs historically have a similar credit profile to major sovereign issuers, such as the US government. Consequently, MDB bonds have generally delivered comparable returns to US Treasurys.

Market review

After a very volatile first half of 2020, financial markets calmed down as the reporting period progressed. With countries coming out of their lockdowns, global economies started to recover. Financial markets continued their recovery as well. Against this backdrop, both the equity and corporate bond markets generated good performance.

This positive sentiment kept on and markets ended 2020 on a high note, boosted by the start of vaccination programs in the US and UK, along with optimism over the broader global rollout. That more than offset concerns over rising COVID-19 infections, stricter restrictions in many parts of the world, and the emergence of a new faster-spreading strain of the virus.

In this risk friendly environment, US Treasurys underperformed riskier parts of the US fixed income markets. Ten-year US Treasury yields rose from 0.66% at the start of the reporting period to 0.91%.

Sustainable development banks (SDB) were able to outperform US Treasurys during the reporting period. The risk-on sentiment led to a tightening of credit spreads of SDB bonds versus Treasurys.

UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bond Fund

Portfolio performance summary

The Fund is passively managed and seeks to minimize tracking error relative to its secondary benchmark (before fees and expenses), which is constructed from a blend of two market indexes designed to measure the performance of the US dollar-denominated multilateral development bank bond market. During the reporting period, the Fund generated flat performance relative to its secondary benchmark. Transaction costs associated with the management of the Fund's portfolio, as well as fees and expenses were covered by an outperformance of some out of benchmark holdings. Additionally, the performance deviation between the Fund and the primary index is explained by the longer duration of the Index, as well as a slightly higher credit-quality.

•  The Fund did not invest in derivatives during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—1.07% and 0.25%; Class P2—1.07% and 0.15%. 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 and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 0.25% for Class P shares and 0.15% for Class P2 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 fiscal 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 Class P of UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bond Fund is October 24, 2018. Benchmark's inception return is based on Class P inception date.

2  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.

3  The Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Index measures US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, nominal debt issued by the US Treasury. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

4  The Solactive UBS Global Multilateral Development Bank Bond USD 40% 1-5 Year 60% 5-10 Year Total Return Index is a composite index, constructed from a blend of two market indexes designed to measure the performance of the US dollar denominated multilateral development bank bond market. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

5  Inception date of Class P2 of UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bond Fund is October 30, 2020.

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

UBS Total Return Bond Fund

Portfolio performance:

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Class A shares of UBS Total Return Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 2.87% (Class A shares returned -0.99% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 3.00%. For comparison purposes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index") returned 1.29%. (Class P shares have lower expenses than the other share class of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 96; 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.)

During the reporting period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. A number of credit derivatives, including credit-default swaps and index (CDX) options, were used to manage the Fund's credit exposure. For active currency management, we utilized foreign exchange (FX) forwards. For managing interest rate exposure, we utilized interest rate futures during the reporting period. Derivatives were just one tool, among others, that we used to implement our overall strategy. Looking at the impact of derivatives in isolation is not very meaningful and could potentially be misleading, as often times they are used as a complement or risk mitigant to other existing positions in the portfolio.

Portfolio performance summary:

What Worked:

•  Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS): Exposure to CMBS was a positive driver of performance during the reporting period.

•  Asset-backed securities (ABS): Exposure to ABS was additive for results during the reporting period.

•  Sector allocation—emerging markets: Exposure to emerging markets in both hard currency and emerging market FX contributed.

•  Security selection: corporates—Security selection within corporate debt contributed to performance.

What Didn't Work:

•  Duration management: The Fund's duration exposure and yield curve positioning relative to the index detracted from performance during the reporting period.

•  Sector allocation—MBS : The Fund's relative exposure to mortgage-backed securities detracted from performance.

•  Derivatives—Credit derivatives detracted from performance over the period, particularly when used as a hedge to existing credit exposures given the consistent rally in spreads.

UBS Total Return Bond Fund

Market outlook

In financial markets, risk assets and reflationary measures appear well supported. This is buoyed by the better than anticipated economic data in general, as well as pent-up demand from the prior quarters. The near term economic outlook is less certain, as "shut downs" are again being implemented by entire countries and economically important areas such as California in the U.S. We believe this will reinforce the ongoing support by the Federal Reserve, along with the addition of fiscal policy measures. This theme appears further supported with the Georgia senate elections, as the Democrats picked up two more seats in the Senate, giving the tie breaking vote to the democrat Vice President Harris. We thus remain upbeat as policymakers now appear set to be working in concert to mitigate the downside risks in this uncertain economic time.

We remain generally upbeat on risk assets and expect continued outperformance, but at a slower pace. We maintain our view that monetary policy will remain accommodative, thus supporting securitized credit, corporate credit, and equities. Although we have favored Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) in some strategies, we are close to flat and look to reengage at slightly lower levels from the current 10-year break-even rate of 2.00%. We have incrementally increased risk over the past month and are set to take advantage of anticipated volatility. We are encouraged that the US dollar has shown clear signs of weakness, as this may further support emerging debt markets and currencies. Financial conditions are easy and will likely further benefit from the very strong demand verses supply dynamics that are also supporting risk assets. Our bias in risk assets continues to favor higher credit quality sectors, as we fear some industries and credits may ultimately face the stress of extended below trend growth, high leverage and stretched valuations looking forward into the first quarter of 2021.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios as in the October 28, 2020 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.60% and 0.76%; Class P—1.39% and 0.51%. 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 and administrator ("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 28, 2021, do not exceed 0.75% for Class A 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 fiscal 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 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 Index is 3.84%. 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  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 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.

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, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (unless otherwise noted).

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 hypo- thetical 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.

1  Calculated using the average share method.

2  Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

3  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.

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  Annualized.

6  Includes interest expense representing less than 0.005%.

3  During the period, the Fund recorded a gain of $263,116 from affiliated funds that were previously liquidated. If this gain had been excluded, the total return of Class A and Class P would have been 3.89% and 4.13%, respectively.

4  During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Advisor reimbursed the Fund $316,557 which was determined to be the value of the ineligibleservices paid for from the Fund's dealing commissions. If payment from Advisor was not made, the estimated total return would havebeen -4.90% for A shares, -5.59% for C shares, and -4.59% for P shares.

2  Calculated using the average share method.

3  Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

4  The amount of net realized and unrealized gain per share does not correspond with the net realized and unrealized gain reported within the Statement of Changes due to the timing of purchases and redemptions of Fund shares and fluctuating market values.

5  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.

1  Calculated using the average share method.

2  The amount of net realized and unrealized gain per share does not correspond with the net realized and unrealized gain reported within the Statement of Changes due to the timing of purchases and redemptions of Fund shares and fluctuating market values.

3  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.

4  Annualized.

5  Includes interest expense representing less than 0.005%.

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 twelve Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS Engage For Impact Fund, UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS US Dividend Ruler Fund, UBS US Quality Growth at Reasonable Price Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS Municipal Bond Fund, UBS Sustainable Development Bank 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, UBS Municipal Bond Fund, and the UBS Sustainable Development Bank 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 and Class P shares, with the exception of UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund and UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bond Fund, which currently offers Class P2 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 and Class P2 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.

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 net of withholding taxes 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 Portfolio, 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 the 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.

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 predominantly 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.

Many financial instruments, financings or other transactions to which a Fund may be a party use or may use a floating rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). LIBOR is widely used in financial markets. In July 2017, the United Kingdom's financial regulatory body announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. That announcement suggests that LIBOR may cease to be published or utilized after that time. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for that transition, but the effect of the transition process and its ultimate success cannot yet be determined. The transition process may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments the terms of which are based on LIBOR. It could also lead to a reduction in the value of some LIBOR-based investments and reduce the effectiveness of new hedges placed against existing LIBOR-based investments. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021. The willingness and ability of issuers to include enhanced provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments also remains uncertain. Any of these factors may adversely affect the Fund's performance or NAV.

Certain impacts to public health conditions particular to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak that occurred may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the issuers of the Funds' investments. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Funds will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Valuation of investments

Each Fund generally calculates its net asset value on days that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. The Fund calculates net asset value 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 Fund does not price its shares, on most national holidays and Good Friday. To the extent that the Fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is not open, the value of the 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, the 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 the 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 Fund normally obtains market values for its 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.


145



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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 U.S. 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 Fund invests are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, will not be reflected in the Fund's net asset value. However, if the Fund determines that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund's investments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what is believed to be the fair value of these investments as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.

Certain Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value investments principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. The systematic fair valuation model may use calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. If an investment is valued at a "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the investment. The use of the fair valuation model may result in securities being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair valuation hierarchy at the end of the reporting period.

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 Fund's 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 U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Fund's 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 Fund's 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


146



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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 risks.

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

In accordance with the requirements of US GAAP, a fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Investments

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.

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

Company 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 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.

Real estate investment trusts: Certain Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Distributions from a REIT are initially recorded as dividend income and may subsequently be recharacterized by the REIT at the end of its tax year as a return of capital and/or capital gains. The Fund estimates the character of dividends received from REITs for financial reporting purposes based on the distribution history of each REIT. Once actual distribution characterizations are made available by the REITs, typically after calendar year end, the Fund updates its accounting and/or tax books and records.

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 expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in each Fund's portfolio footnotes.

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 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, U.S. gov-


148



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

ernment 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.

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. The Fund segregates collateral, consisting of cash or liquid assets, sufficient to collateralize the market value of the investments sold short. The 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, 2020, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund and UBS Total Return Bond Fund did not engage in short sale transactions.

Treasury inflation protected securities: The Funds may purchase Treasury inflation protected securities ("TIPS") which are debt securities issued by the US Treasury. TIPS adjust for inflation based on changes in the published Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). During periods of inflation when the CPI index increases, the principal amount of the debt to which the rate of interest is applied increases, which in turn increases the yield. During periods of deflation when the CPI index decreases, the principal amount of the debt to which the rate of interest is applied decreases, which in turn lowers the yield. At maturity, TIPS return the higher of the principal amount at maturity or the initial face amount of the debt.

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, options on futures contracts 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 Funds pay a premium which is included on 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 Fund of investments and are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities in investments, at value. At December 31, 2020, the Funds did not hold any purchased options.


149



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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, options on futures contracts 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 on 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 the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or 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 Fund trades and holds certain fair valued derivative contracts that constitute guarantees. Such contracts include written put options, where the Fund will be obligated to purchase securities at specified prices (i.e. the options are exercised by the counterparties). It also includes written swaptions, where the Fund will be obligated to enter into a swap agreement. 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.

Written options, if any, are shown as portfolio holdings within the Portfolio of investments and are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities in options and swaptions written, at value.

Futures contracts: Certain Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to increase or reduce their exposure to an asset class without purchasing or selling the underlying securities, either as a hedge or to enhance income or realized gains. Generally, a futures contract is a standard binding agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying reference asset, such as a specific security or currency, at a specified price at a specified later date.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or 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, except that in the case of certain futures contracts that are held through swap 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 risks, including market, interest rate and equity risks. 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

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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.

Futures contracts, if any, are shown as portfolio holdings within the Portfolio of investments. Variation margin, if applicable, is shown in Variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 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 compo-


151

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

sition 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 credit indices—sell protection" in the Portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swap agreements are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Total return swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and the risk that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.

The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques, risks, and transaction costs different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions, including assumptions about market conditions, interest rates, and other applicable factors. As a result, the performance of the Fund will be different than if it had used ordinary portfolio security transactions. 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, the 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


152



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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.

Swap agreements, if any, are shown as portfolio holdings within the Portfolio of investments.

Forward foreign currency contracts: Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as part of their investment objective, for purposes of risk management or to hedge the US dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular 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.

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 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 December 31, 2020.

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 Fund's Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of December 31, 2020 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities.

Offsetting of certain derivatives: The Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements") or similar master agreements with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination. The Statement of assets and liabilities is presented gross of any netting.

At December 31, 2020, derivative assets and liabilities (by type) on a gross basis and derivatives subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement ("MNA") or similar were as follows:

Securities lending

Each Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are initially secured by cash, U.S. government securities and irrevocable letters of credit in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities. In the event that the market value of the cash, U.S. government securities, and irrevocable letters of credit securing the loan falls below 100% of the market value for domestic securities, and 103% for foreign securities, the borrower must provide additional cash, U.S. government securities, and irrevocable letters of credit so that the total securing the loan is at least 102% of the market value for domestic securities and 105% of the market value for foreign securities.

Each Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, each Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, U.S. government securities and irrevocable 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 State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Fund, which is included in the Fund's Portfolio of investments. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Fund's lending agent.

At December 31, 2020, the following Funds had securities on loan at value, cash collateral and non-cash collateral as follows:

Bank line of credit

The Fund participates with other funds managed by UBS AM in a $185 million committed credit facility (the "Committed Credit Facility") with State Street Bank and Trust Company. 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. The Funds covered by the Committed Credit Facility have 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, 2020, the following Funds had borrowings as follows:

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, 2020, there were no recaptured commissions on the Funds.

ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes-Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded, as of December 31, 2020, 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, 2020, 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 December 31, 2020 or since inception in the case of UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS Engage For Impact Fund, UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bond Fund, UBS US Dividend Ruler Fund and UBS US Quality Growth at Reasonable Price Fund remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Subsequent event

On or about March 1, 2021, UBS U.S. Sustainable Equity Fund is expected to be liquidated; it was closed to new investments on January 6, 2021. Subsequent to the semi-annual report period, an additional series of the Trust that had been inactive commenced operations. The UBS All China Equity Fund commenced operations on February 23, 2021.

Board approval of investment advisory agreements

At a meeting (the "Meeting") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust") held on June 4-5, 2020, the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates, considered the initial approval of the investment advisory agreements (each, an "Advisory Agreement" and together, the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for each of UBS US Dividend Ruler Fund and UBS US Quality Growth At Reasonable Price Fund (the "Funds").

At the Meeting, the Board considered a number of factors in connection with its deliberations concerning the approval of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, including: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor to the Funds; (ii) the Funds' expenses, costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds; and (iii) whether economies of scale will be realized by the Advisor with respect to the Funds, as they grow larger, and the extent to which the economies of scale are reflected in the level of the proposed management fees to be charged. As part of the Board's review of these factors, the Board received and considered information on the potential impact of COVID-19 on the Funds and the Funds' operations.

Nature, extent, and quality of services.

In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor to the Funds, the Board reviewed the materials presented by the Advisor describing the various services to be provided to the Funds. The Board noted that in addition to investment management services, the Advisor would provide the Funds with operational, legal, and compliance support. The Board also considered the scope and depth of the Advisor's organization and the experience and expertise of the professionals that will be providing investment management and other services to the Funds. The Board considered that the Advisor was a well-established investment management organization, employing investment personnel with significant experience in the investment management industry. The Board also considered the Advisor's in-house research capabilities, as well as other research services available to it, including research services available to the Advisor as a result of securities transactions effected for other series of the Trust and the Advisor's other investment management clients, and noted that the Advisor had extensive global research capabilities. The Board also evaluated the Advisor's proposed portfolio management process for each Fund.

The Board also noted and discussed the services that the Advisor and its affiliates would provide to the Funds under other agreements with the Trust including administration services to be provided by the Advisor, underwriting services to be provided by UBS Asset Management (US) Inc., and sub-transfer agency services to be provided by UBS Financial Services Inc. In connection with the non-investment management services, the Board also considered the quarterly reports that the Advisor provides to the Board throughout the year pertaining to brokerage commissions, soft dollars, portfolio valuations, and Rule 12b-1 fees, among others, to the existing series of the Trust. The Board also discussed the compliance program for the Advisor. In addition, the Board noted management's continuing endeavors and expenditures to address areas of heightened concern in the mutual fund industry, such as liquidity risk management. After analyzing the services to be provided by the Advisor to the Funds, both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the likely impact of these services on investment performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services expected to be provided to the Funds were consistent with the operational requirements of the Funds, and would meet the needs of the Funds' shareholders.

Performance.

The Board also noted that, as the Funds had not yet commenced investment operations, there was no investment performance for either the Funds or the Advisor in managing the Funds for the Board to evaluate. The Board reviewed the performance of model portfolios on which the Funds' strategies are based, as well as the performance calculation methodology of the model portfolios.

The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (concluded)

Fund fees and expenses.

When considering the fees and expenses to be borne by each Fund, and the reasonableness of the management fees to be paid to the Advisor in light of the services to be provided to each Fund, the Board compared the fees to be charged by the Advisor to each Fund to the fees charged to the funds in its peer group. In examining these materials, and in reviewing comparative costs, it was noted that the results of such expense comparisons showed that the contractual management fee rate and estimated total expenses for each Fund were comparable to similar funds. The Board also considered that the Advisor had agreed to an expense limit arrangement through October 28, 2021. The Board determined that the fees to be charged by the Advisor to the Funds were within a reasonable range. The Board, after reviewing all pertinent material, concluded that the management fee payable under each Fund's Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable, both on an absolute basis and in comparison with the fees of other funds identified in its peer group.

Costs and profitability.

The Board noted that the Advisor could not report any financial results from its relationship with the Funds because the Funds had not yet commenced investment operations, and thus, the Board could not evaluate the profitability of the Funds. The Board considered the expected "fall-out" or ancillary benefits to the Advisor and its affiliates as the result of their relationship with the Funds; for example, the ability to attract other clients due to the Advisor's role as investment advisor to the Funds. The Board then concluded that the level of profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to the Funds, if any, were expected to be reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services that were to be provided.

Economies of scale.

The Board also discussed whether economies of scale will be realized by the Advisor with respect to the Funds, as they grow larger, and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of advisory fees to be charged. The Board noted that, because the Funds had not yet commenced investment operations, economies of scale were not likely to be realized in the near future.

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