Expense Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock

These tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may qualify for a sales charge waiver or discount if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Fund. More information about these and other discounts and waivers, as well as eligibility requirements for each share class, is available from your financial advisor and in "Managing your fund account" beginning on page 123 of this prospectus and in "Reduced sales charges, additional purchase, exchange and redemption information and other services" beginning on page 103 of the Fund's statement of additional information ("SAI"). In addition to the fees and expenses described below, you may also be required to pay commissions or other fees to your broker for transactions in Class P shares. Shares of the Fund are available in classes other than Class P that have different fees and expenses.

Different intermediaries and financial professionals may make available different sales charge waivers or discounts. These variations are described in Appendix A beginning on page A-1 of this prospectus.

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 78% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal investments

To achieve its investment objective, the Fund invests in or seeks exposure to companies based on various financial factors, fundamental sustainability factors such as environmental, social and governance performance along with assessing the current and potential ability of such companies to have a measurable impact on society and the environment.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests a substantial portion of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in equity securities. Investments in equity securities may include, but are not limited to, dividend-paying securities, common stock and preferred stock of issuers located throughout the world; Global, European and American Depositary Receipts; equity securities of real estate investment trusts ("REITs"); as well as investment companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"). The Fund may invest in issuers from both developed markets (including the United States) and emerging markets. The Fund's investments may include investments in China A-shares (shares of companies based in mainland China that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange).

The Advisor, on behalf of the Fund, intends to diversify broadly among countries, but reserves the right to invest a substantial portion of the Fund's assets in one or more countries if economic and business conditions warrant such investments. The Fund may invest in stocks of companies of any size.

The Fund may, but is not required to, use exchange traded or over-the-counter ("OTC") derivative instruments for risk management purposes or as part of the Fund's investment strategies. Generally, derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends upon, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate, index or other market factor and may relate to stocks, bonds, interest rates, credit, currencies or currency exchange rates, commodities and related indexes. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include futures, forward currency agreements and equity participation notes. All of these derivatives may be used for risk management purposes to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund. Futures on currencies and forward currency agreements may also be used to hedge against a specific currency. In addition, all of the derivative instruments listed above may be used for investment (non-hedging) purposes to earn income; to enhance returns; to replace more traditional direct investments (except for forward currency agreements); or to obtain exposure to certain markets (except for forward currency agreements). The Fund also may use futures contracts on equity securities and indices to gain market exposure on its uninvested cash.

Under certain market conditions, the Fund may invest in companies at the time of their initial public offering ("IPO").

Management process

The Advisor seeks to invest in companies that the Advisor believes are attractively valued, that integrate sustainability factors into the business model to build a competitive advantage, whose products and services can create meaningful, intentional, verifiable and measurable impact on society and the environment (e.g., products and services with a primary or intended focus on consequential impact); and which have a clearly identified potential for additional positive impact that the Advisor intends to drive through engagement with the companies. In selecting individual securities for investment, the Advisor considers, among other factors:

•  Its assessment of fundamental valuation (price/intrinsic value) to seek attractively valued companies with strong financial performance;

•  Quantitative and qualitative environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors;

•  Quantitative and qualitative assessment of a company's current and potential impact on society and the environment; and

•  Advisor's ability to drive positive change in a company's impact profile through engagement.

The Fund's ESG criteria are applied to each equity security.

The Advisor aims to identify the best investment ideas with additional impact potential across the market capitalization spectrum, sectors and geographies within the eligible investment universe ("the impact universe").

The impact universe is comprised of companies whose products and services can create measurable, verifiable impact within specific impact categories (such as climate change, air pollution, clean water and water scarcity, treatment of disease and food security and others) that are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Advisor's assessment of the ability of public companies to generate impact is based upon impact measurement methodologies the Advisor has developed in partnership with academics from the fields of earth sciences and public health science. The impact of portfolio holdings is measured in changes in human well-being and changes in environmental quality (e.g. reduction in air pollution, hospitalizations and biodiversity loss).

Engagement with portfolio companies is a key aspect of the Fund's strategy. Companies have the potential to create additional impact through improving or optimizing the use of their products and services throughout society as well as indirectly through changes to their operations and supply chain. The Advisor's Global Sustainable Equities team and the Sustainable Research staff will seek to increase impact at each portfolio company through engagement on both fronts through communication with company management and continuous monitoring of the company's ESG impact. The Advisor will establish specific impact goals, and measure and evaluate progress regularly in order to assess the impact of its engagement efforts. The purpose of engagement with companies is to:

•  Improve the Advisor's ability to independently measure impact;

•  Engage the company to help it inform its strategy with regard to societal goals;

•  Engage the company to help increase its product and service impact by identifying target markets, cus-

tomers and business partners that create additional impact over time; and

•  Engage the company to identify business model risks and opportunities linked to the ESG component of operations, supply chains and other aspects of the company that can help increase positive impact over time.

The Advisor will employ both a positive and negative screening process with regard to securities selection for the Fund. The negative screening process will exclude from the Fund's portfolio securities or sectors that manufacture products or engage in business activities viewed as having a negative social or environmental impact. Such products or business activities include certain controversial weapons, natural resource extraction activities, thermal coal power generation, and certain controversial behavior and business activities as well as the failure of a portfolio company to meet certain engagement objectives identified by the Advisor. The Advisor may modify this list of negative screens at any time, without shareholder approval or notice. The positive screening process seeks to identify securities of companies that provide solutions to significant global challenges through the impact of their products and services, that are attractive based on their fundamental and valuation profile in addition to evaluating specific sustainability (ESG) factors as well as the ability of the Advisor to engage with the company's management on impact-related issues.

The Advisor uses an ESG Material Issues Framework to identify 3 to 5 of the most financially relevant factors, per sector, that can impact the investment thesis across different industry sectors. The universe of sustainability issues includes environmental factors such as global greenhouse gas emissions and wastewater management; social factors such as customer privacy and product safety; and governance factors such as critical and systemic risk management.

The Advisor uses a proprietary risk tool to combine scores and data points from a number of reputable external research providers together with the UBS internal ESG model to flag companies with elevated sustainability risks. In addition, absolute ESG risks such as poor corporate governance and high ESG controversy levels are included in the Advisor's risk tool. Collectively, these inputs lead to an ESG Risk Signal which flags companies with high ESG risks. Once outliers are identified, the Advisor conducts more in-depth analysis to assess the material impact of the ESG risks.
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Main risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

All investments carry a certain amount of risk, and the Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a

bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Below are some of the specific risks of investing in the Fund.

Foreign investing risk: The value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. Also, foreign securities are sometimes less liquid and more difficult to sell and to value than securities of US issuers. These risks are greater for investments in emerging market issuers.

Sustainability factor risk and risk of impact investing: Because the Fund uses sustainability factors to assess and exclude certain investments for non-financial reasons, the Fund may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these factors. As a result, the Fund's sustainability factors used in its investment process and the Advisor's impact investing approach will likely make the Fund perform differently from a fund that relies solely or primarily on financial metrics, and the Fund's sustainability factors may be linked to long-term rather than short-term returns. The sustainability factors and the Advisor's impact investing approach may cause the Fund's industry allocation to deviate from that of funds without these considerations.

Small- and mid-capitalization risk: The risk that securities of smaller capitalization companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of larger capitalization companies. This can have a disproportionate effect on the market price of smaller capitalization companies and affect the Fund's ability to purchase or sell these securities. In general, smaller capitalization companies are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources.

Geographic concentration risk: The risk that if the Fund has most of its investments in a single country or region, its portfolio will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers located in that country or region than would a more geographically diverse portfolio of securities.

Emerging market risk: There are additional risks inherent in investing in less developed countries that are applicable to the Fund. Compared to the United States and other developed countries, investments in emerging market issuers may decline in value because of unfavorable foreign government actions, greater risks of political instability or the absence of accurate information about emerging market issuers. Further, emerging countries may have economies based on only a few industries and securities markets that trade only a small number of securities and employ settlement procedures different from those used in the United States. Prices on

these exchanges tend to be volatile and, in the past, securities in these countries have offered greater potential for gain (as well as loss) than securities of companies located in developed countries. Issuers may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and there may be less publicly available financial and other information about such issuers, comparable to US issuers. Further, investments by foreign investors are subject to a variety of restrictions in many emerging countries. Countries such as those in which the Fund may invest may experience, high rates of inflation, high interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations or currency depreciation, large amounts of external debt, balance of payments and trade difficulties and extreme poverty and unemployment.

China risk: There are special risks associated with investments in China (including Chinese companies listed on US and Hong Kong exchanges), Hong Kong and Taiwan, including exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization and exchange control regulations (including currency blockage). Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation and interest rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economy and securities markets of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In addition, investments in Taiwan and Hong Kong could be adversely affected by their respective political and economic relationship with China. China, Hong Kong and Taiwan are deemed by the investment manager to be emerging markets countries, which means an investment in these countries has more heightened risks than general foreign investing due to a lack of established legal, political, business and social frameworks and accounting standards or auditor oversight in these countries to support securities markets as well as the possibility for more widespread corruption and fraud. In addition, the standards for environmental, social and corporate governance matters in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan tend to be lower than such standards in more developed economies.

Certain securities issued by companies located or operating in China, such as China A-shares, are subject to trading restrictions, quota limitations and less market liquidity. Additionally, the Chinese economy is highly dependent on the property sector and exportation of products and services, and could experience a significant slowdown or be otherwise adversely impacted due to a slowdown in the housing construction and development markets, a reduction in global demand for Chinese exports, contraction in spending on domestic goods by Chinese consumers, the institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, trade or political disputes with China's major trading partners, natural disasters, or public health threats.

Additionally, emerging market countries, such as China, may subject the Fund's investments to a number of tax

rules, and the application of many of those rules may be uncertain. Changes in applicable Chinese tax law could reduce the after-tax profits of the Fund, directly or indirectly, including by reducing the after-tax profits of companies in China in which the Fund invests. Uncertainties in Chinese tax rules could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund.

China A-shares and Stock Connect investing risk: China A-shares are subject to a number of restrictions imposed by Chinese securities regulations and listing rules. Investments by foreign investors in A-shares are subject to various restrictions, regulations and limits. The A-share market is volatile and can have a higher risk of suspension of trading in a particular security or multiple securities or government intervention than many other global equity markets. Trading suspensions could lead to greater market execution risk, valuation risks, liquidity risks, and costs for the Fund.

Investing in A-shares through Stock Connect is subject to trading, clearance, settlement, and other procedures, which could pose risks to the Fund. Trading through the Stock Connect program is subject to daily quotas that limit the maximum daily net purchases on any particular day, each of which may restrict or preclude the Fund's ability to invest in A-shares through the Stock Connect program. The Fund's investments in Stock Connect A-shares are generally subject to PRC securities regulations and listing rules, among other restrictions. Any changes in laws, regulations and policies of the China A-shares market or rules in relation to Stock Connect may affect China A-share prices and tax treatment. These risks are heightened by the developing state of the PRC's investment and banking systems in general. The Shanghai and Shenzhen markets may be open at a time when the Stock Connect Program is not trading, with the result that prices of China A-shares may fluctuate at times when the Fund is unable to add to or exit its position.

IPOs risk: The purchase of shares issued in IPOs may expose the Fund to the risks associated with issuers that have no operating history as public companies, as well as to the risks associated with the sectors of the market in which the issuer operates. The market for IPO shares may be volatile, and share prices of newly-public companies may fluctuate significantly over a short period of time.

Market risk: The market value of the Fund's investments may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as the stock and bond markets fluctuate. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, or sector of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole.

Focus risk: To the extent the Fund's investment strategy leads to sizable allocations to a particular market, sector or industry, the Fund may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political, regulatory, or

other event that occurs in that market, sector or industry. As a result, there may be more fluctuation in the price of the Fund's shares.

Leverage risk associated with financial instruments: The use of financial instruments to increase potential returns, including derivatives used for investment (non-hedging) purposes, may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. The use of leverage may also accelerate the velocity of losses and can result in losses to the Fund that exceed the amount originally invested.

Derivatives risk: The value of "derivatives"—so called because their value "derives" from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index—may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. It is possible for the Fund to lose more than the amount it invested in the derivative. The risks of investing in derivative instruments also include market risk, management risk, counterparty risk (which is the risk that a counterparty to a derivative contract is unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations) and the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, index or overall market securities. In addition, non-exchange traded derivatives may be subject to liquidity risk, credit risk and mispricing or valuation complexity. These derivatives risks are different from, and may be greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other instruments.

Investing in ETFs risk: The Fund's investment in ETFs may subject the Fund to additional risks than if the Fund would have invested directly in the ETF's underlying securities. These risks include the possibility that an ETF may experience a lack of liquidity that can result in greater volatility than its underlying securities; an ETF may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value; an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the benchmark index it seeks to track; trading an ETF's shares may be halted if the listing exchange's officials deem such action appropriate; and a passively managed ETF would not necessarily sell a security because the issuer of the security was in financial trouble unless the security is removed from the index that the ETF seeks to track. In addition, investing in an ETF may also be more costly than if a Fund had owned the underlying securities directly. The Fund, and indirectly, shareholders of the Fund, bear a proportionate share of the ETF's expenses, which include management and advisory fees and other expenses. In addition, the Fund will pay brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of the ETF.

Real estate securities and REITs risk: The risk that the Fund's performance will be affected by adverse developments in the real estate industry. Real estate values may be affected by a variety of factors, including: local, national or global economic conditions; changes

in zoning or other property-related laws; environmental regulations; interest rates; tax and insurance considerations; overbuilding; property taxes and operating expenses; or declining values in a neighborhood. Similarly, a REIT's performance depends on the types, values, locations and management of the properties it owns. In addition, a REIT may be more susceptible to adverse developments affecting a single project or market segment than a more diversified investment. Loss of status as a qualified REIT under the US federal tax laws could adversely affect the value of a particular REIT or the market for REITs as a whole.

Management risk: The risk that the investment strategies, techniques and risk analyses employed by the Advisor may not produce the desired results.

[3] 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, dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short and extraordinary expenses, such as proxy-related 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, dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short and extraordinary expenses, such as proxy-related expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, do not exceed 1.10% for Class A shares and 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 years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed 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.
