President's letter

February 10, 2022

Dear Shareholder,

When I last wrote you after the first half of 2021, the world was experiencing continued economic recovery, reopening around the world and optimism in the markets. The second half of 2021 was more characterized by volatility and uncertainty due to new COVID-19 variants, inflation expectations and other world events.

US President Joe Biden and Congress passed a $1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill which promises to pump additional fiscal stimulus, supporting investors' economic outlook and markets. Vaccines continued to facilitate a sustainable recovery, with roughly 60% of the world's population having received at least one dose by the end of the year. But while growth exceeded expectations so did inflation, and while many stock markets continued to move higher so did bond yields.

Ongoing fallout from the COVID-19 Delta variant and the emergence of the fast-spreading Omicron variant also temporarily drove markets lower as pandemic-related outbreaks in critical links of global supply chains resulted in longer-than-expected supply disruptions, further feeding inflation and stymying growth in many countries.

And geopolitical events, such as the tense US—China relationship and the Russian aggression against Ukraine continued to provide headline risk that injected volatility into markets. Meanwhile, the global rates backdrop that had been supporting the economic recovery since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic shifted.

In the second half, after a string of US CPI (consumer price index) readings that were the highest since the '80s, the Fed turned markedly more hawkish on inflation and began tapering its quantitative easing (QE) bond purchases and telegraphed ending the program and raising rates in 2022. As the Fed's stance evolved over time, it both roiled markets while calming many investors concerned about continued economic expansion over the longer term. The Bank of England raised rates in December for the first time since the pandemic began.

On the China growth and policy front, Beijing announced a slew of market-supportive, pro-growth policies in December 2021 to counter some of the economic pain from restructuring policies it implemented earlier in the year, which many had feared would derail China growth and help to slow the global economic expansion. And, the Peoples Bank of China turned policy 180°, abandoning its tightening cycle, aimed in part at curbing bubbly credit and housing markets, and lowered its key policy rates for the first time since April 2020.

Despite continued headwinds from COVID-19 and its variants, rising inflation, higher interest rates and supply chain challenges, the global economic recovery continued but momentum weakened.

Equity returns for the past six months were mixed globally with the US posting solid gains, international developed equities less so and emerging markets falling in the second half of 2021. Fixed Income market returns globally were generally weak, with a few bright spots, notably, US high yield, where investors sought out the additional spread, and China government bonds which saw a flight to quality, as other credits sectors came under duress. And strong demand, low inventories and supply challenges were a 'trifecta' pushing commodity markets higher in the second half of 2021.

So it appears volatility is likely back with us for the longer-term as markets and investors continue to digest potential threats to growth, rising inflation and interest rates against a backdrop of uncertainty around geopolitics and developments in the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has turned from a sprint into a marathon.

President's letter

Building a genuinely diversified portfolio capable of delivering growth amid uncertainty and volatility is as challenging as ever. That said, we believe that there are many unique 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.

As always, we thank you for being a part of the UBS family of funds.

Sincerely,

Igor Lasun

The markets in review

The economic expansion continues

Despite continued headwinds from COVID-19 and its variants, rising inflation, higher interest rates, and supply chain challenges, the US economy continued to expand at a healthy pace overall. A number of factors supported the economy, including continued fiscal spending, monetary policy accommodation by the US Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") and robust job growth. Looking back, first quarter 2021 US annualized gross domestic product ("GDP") rose by 6.3%. GDP then grew 6.7% and 2.3% over the second and third quarters of the year, respectively. Finally, the Commerce Department's initial estimate for fourth quarter annualized GDP growth—released after the reporting period ended—was 6.9%.

While the Fed maintained the federal funds rate in a record-low range between 0.00% and 0.25% in 2021, toward the end of the year it signaled a shift in its monetary policy. With inflation remaining elevated and no longer viewed as being "transitory," in November the Fed announced that it would start tapering its monthly purchase of Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities. At its next meeting in December, the central bank further reduced its bond purchases, which are currently set to end in March 2022. The Fed may then start raising rates, and it anticipates three rate hikes in 2022. Overseas, the Bank of England raised rates for the first time since the pandemic began in December. However, both the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan have hinted that they may not raise rates in 2022.

From a global perspective, in its October 2021 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") said, "The global recovery continues but the momentum has weakened, hobbled by the pandemic. Fueled by the highly transmissible Delta variant, the recorded global COVID-19 death toll has risen close to 5 million and health risks abound, holding back a full return to normalcy. Pandemic outbreaks in critical links of global supply chains have resulted in longer-than-expected supply disruptions, further feeding inflation in many countries." Overall, risks to economic prospects have increased, and policy trade-offs have become more complex. The IMF expects 2021 GDP growth in the Eurozone, UK and Japan will be 5.0%, 6.8% and 2.4%, respectively. For comparison purposes, the GDP of these economies declined -6.3%, -9.8% and -4.6%, respectively, in 2020.

Developed country equities move higher

Equities in developed countries generated positive returns during the six-months ended December 31, 2021. Supporting the market were the ongoing COVID-19 vaccine rollout, monetary and fiscal policy initiatives and corporate profits that often exceeded expectations. While there were some setbacks, they proved to be temporary and investor demand for equities was solid. For the six-months ended December 31, 2021, the S&P 500 Index1 gained 11.67% and ended the year near an all-time high. Outside the US, international developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),2 returned 2.24%. However, emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),3 fell 9.30%.

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. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

The markets in review

The overall fixed income market was weak

The overall global fixed income market generated weak results over the reporting period. As mentioned, with inflation moving higher the Fed and Bank of England, along with a number of emerging market central banks, started removing monetary policy accommodation. In the US, both short- and long-term Treasury yields moved higher (bond yields and prices move in the opposite direction). For the year as a whole, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury rose from 1.45% to 1.52%. 10-year government bond yields outside the US generally moved higher as well. The overall US bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index,4 returned 0.06% during the six-months ended December 31, 2021. Returns of riskier fixed income securities were mixed. High yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofAML US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index,5 gained 1.63%. Elsewhere, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),6 returned -0.52%.

4  The Bloomberg 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 All China Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, the UBS All China Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned -18.86%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI China All Shares Index (net) (the "Index"), returned -15.53% 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's performance was driven primarily by stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Within stock selection, Kweichow Moutai was the top contributor to Fund performance for the six-month period.

  – Moutai's share price rose after the company raised the prices of some of its products. This increased investor anticipation that the core product line would see price hikes, as well. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

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

  – NetEase, a gaming company, outperformed after the company's third quarter results showed that its top line and deferred revenue growth, a good indication of fourth quarter revenue, outperformed market expectations. We expect NetEase to have a strong product cycle next year, including the release of its Naraka Bladepoint and Harry Potter games. These new games should help with the company's expansion beyond Japan, its current key overseas market, to Europe and the US. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Shandong Pharmaceutical Glass, Shandong Pharmaceutical rose as a vaccine beneficiary amid concerns over the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron. Price increases were implemented in November to mitigate the rising cost of raw materials.

  – Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing outperformed on the back of expectations for a stronger pipeline of initial public offerings (IPOs). The company also benefited from being viewed as relatively more immune to local policy changes.

  – The decision not to hold Pinduoduo contributed to relative performance during the reporting period. The stock underperformed as competition among e-commerce platforms has intensified. Further, a rise in US bond yields triggered risk aversion among investors, which hurt stocks with high valuations. In addition, Pinduoduo was negatively impacted by concerns over ADR de-listing risks related to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA). We believe it is not yet clear whether Pinduoduo would be able to sustain its growth without user discounts.

What didn't work:

•  Certain stock selection decisions made a negative contribution to Fund returns during the reporting period.

  – Shares of Chinasoft International outperformed earlier, but pulled back after reporting weaker-than-expected 2021 earnings due to short-term margin pressures. Increasing labor input costs, higher research & development (R&D) expenses, and the resurgence of Covid-19 cases in China all caused delays in projects. We continue to hold this stock.

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

UBS All China Equity Fund

  – We added to the Fund's position in Ping An Insurance after the stock price fell to attractive levels based on weaker sentiment and concerns that Evergrande's missed interest payments may negatively impact Ping An Insurance. However, the company publicly disclosed that it does not have any direct exposure to Evergrande, and we believe the company's real estate exposure is manageable. We also added to Ping An Insurance as we believe it offers the best exposure to structural growth in China's life insurance and long-term financial planning markets. We continue to hold this stock. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Jinke Smart Services fell along with negative sentiment regarding the Chinese property sector. The market has concerns about whether the property management business will continue to receive new projects from its related developers. Jinke has historically relied more on third-party development instead, and has improved its independence by introducing Boyu Capital as a strategic investor to the company. We continue to hold this stock.

  – Shares of Alibaba Group fell on concerns of weaker-than-expected growth in core commerce in China, partly due to macroeconomic weakness and increased competition. Alibaba also lowered its earnings guidance for fiscal year 2022. The stock is trading at attractive valuations, and the company is investing in growing its e-commerce business such as Taobao Deals. We believe Alibaba's investment in other businesses such as cloud and logistics may contribute more over time. We continue to hold this stock. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Ping An Healthcare fell on weak market sentiment about internet healthcare in China lacking a positive catalyst. The market is waiting for the final version of detailed regulations on internet healthcare. The company guided earnings expectations lower in October. We continue to hold this stock.

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

Portfolio highlights

•  Tencent is the leading company in China's PC/mobile internet market, and provides services such as instant messaging, online gaming, social community, news and online music. Tencent has established several powerful online service platforms and accumulated a huge number of loyal customers. With its current strong position, we expect the company to ride on the mature business models and consistently grow its business going forward. Fast-growing online games—along with newly emerging mobile games, which is one of the largest revenue-generating segments—will likely contribute most to the company going forward.

•  Alibaba is a large e-commerce company. We believe that e-commerce penetration will continue to grow in China, even in the midst of a retail slowdown. Thus, we consider it a more defensive part of retail sales, and in our view Alibaba has the strongest position in China's e-commerce space.

•  Kweichow Moutai engages in the manufacture and distribution of Moutai liquor series products. Moutai is a Chinese premium liquor brand with strong pricing power and growth visibility. The share price is attractively valued, and the company offers the potential to benefit from state-owned enterprise (SOE) reform.

•  Netease is a leading online game company in China. It has a good track record for delivering blockbuster games, and has posted healthy growth for more than 10 years. We believe that Netease continues to have a strong game pipeline and will be able to deliver new revenue streams. The company is well-positioned as a leading player in China's online entertainment sectors, particularly online games and music.

UBS All China Equity Fund

•  We believe Ping An Insurance is well-placed to benefit from the structural growth in the investment and retirement needs of the aging Chinese population. Premium penetration remains low compared to more developed Asian economies. The company's valuation looks attractive at current levels.

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.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned 0.12% (Class A shares returned -5.42% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 0.26%. For purposes of comparison, the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index retuned -0.69% during the same time period, the MSCI World Index (net) returned 7.76%, and the FTSE One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 0.03%. (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 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.

Overall, the Fund delivered strong risk-adjusted and absolute returns over the reporting period and comfortably outperformed its benchmark and return objective. 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 Fund generated strong performance over the first half of the period, with most of our trades and directional exposures contributing to results. It was a period of reflation, reopening and optimism. Global growth accelerated, yield curves steepened early in the period, and inflation expectations rose. Against this backdrop, equites meaningfully outperformed bonds and our cyclicals value trades added value. Finally, attractively valued emerging market currencies benefited from a weaker US dollar and gradually improving global financial conditions. The Fund was exposed to all those factors.

The following two months were less constructive and represented more of a mixed bag for the Fund on an absolute basis. While our equity exposure continued to perform well overall, we observed a countertrend, with a move back to pandemic winners and away from reflation exposures. This was driven by investors becoming more cautious due to a peak in global growth momentum. In addition, investor sentiment was impacted by the new Omicron variant which was several times more contagious than previous variants. In turn, investors turned more cautious, bond yields began to decline, and the US dollar strengthened in anticipation of weaker near-term global growth. December, however, was again an exceptionally good month for the Fund, significantly outperforming other unconstrained strategies (e.g., as measured by the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index), closing out the year on strong footing.

We remain positioned for a strong growth environment given financial and monetary conditions remain accommodative, vaccines continue to work and protect against severe disease and should allow for a gradual ongoing reopening of additional parts of the global economy.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  The portfolio's strategic allocation to equities and credit contributed to performance.

  – Our strategic allocation to global equities delivered strong positive returns over the reporting period as the global economy continued to recover.

  – Fixed income was a slight detractor overall as yields rose by almost 80 basis points (i.e., 0.80%) over the reporting period. An exception was high-yield corporate bonds, which were additive for returns due to narrowing credit spreads.

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


12


UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

•  Overall, market allocation decisions were additive for results.

  – We maintained an equity overweight for most of the reporting period, but decided to assume a more neutral stance (at least from a risk [beta] point of view), as we transitioned into second quarter of 2021 (prior to the beginning of the reporting period), as several of our key risk indicators turned more negative. First, economic momentum was peaking and markets historically struggle during such an adjustment period. Second, our behavioral sentiment indicators were softening, as the media increasingly focused on the aforementioned peak in global growth. Lastly, we were concerned that a quick rise in yields could pressure lofty equity valuations.

  – Within equities, we maintained a pro-cyclical value positioning for most of the reporting period, with the rational of further earnings upside from a reopening of the global economy. Most of the trades within this category contributed to performance, such as long Stoxx600 Banks versus Eurostoxx50, long FTSE MIB Italy versus Stoxx50 and long emerging versus developed market equities.

•  Overall, active currency positions contributed to results.

  – The largest contributor to performance was a short US dollar Norwegian krone trade. This was beneficial given hawkish rhetoric from the Norges Bank and a procyclical growth improvement which similarly helped long emerging market positions, such as the Brazilian real and Mexican peso against the US dollar, which were additive to performance.

What didn't work:

•  Certain market allocation decisions detracted from results.

  – Within equities, the trades that detracted were generally more defensively minded, such as a long UK versus EuroStoxx50 position and a long Topix versus MSCI World trade. Both underperformed slightly more than we anticipated, driven by some idiosyncratic developments in their respective markets. For example, flows and sentiment remained weak for the Topix, largely due to slow progress on vaccine distribution and approval which delayed the reopening and increased the vulnerability to COVID-19 variants. However, we anticipated Japanese equities to underperform less given their fundamental strength, cheapness and the ongoing Bank of Japan buying during stress periods. UK equities also underperformed for several reasons, but probably the most important were: 1) the pound's strength relative to other major trading currencies, 2) increasing instead of falling risk premium on UK stocks following the "skinny" Brexit deal and 3) the strength of broader eurozone equities during the first half of 2021. However, we retained both trades as they continued to improve the risk-adjusted return of the overall portfolio given our other positions.

  – There were no meaningful detractors on the relative value fixed income side, as our yield curve steepener position and our short US duration stance thereafter added to overall performance.

•  Certain active currency positions detracted from performance.

  – The Fund's short positions in developed commodity currencies, such as the Canadian dollar and New Zealand dollar against the US dollar, were the largest detractors over the period amidst the improved global growth outlook and a rebound in commodity prices.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.32% and 1.38%; Class P—2.09% 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, 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 1.35% 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, 2021, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") returned 2.84% (Class A shares returned -2.81% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 2.96%. In contrast, the Fund's primary benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) returned 5.55%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's secondary benchmarks, the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% FTSE World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD), returned 3.93% and the FTSE World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) returned 0.07% during 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 25; 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 total return during the reporting period. Security selection and tactical asset allocation contributed to performance. Within tactical asset allocation, equity positioning contributed to results. Whereas currency allocation detracted from performance.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns in the portfolio. 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 tactical asset allocation strategy.

Portfolio performance summary

•  Bottom-up security selection contributed to performance.

  – All strategies, except for the Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity strategy, contributed to performance. More specifically, performance in the US Large Cap Value and US Large Cap Growth strategies were areas of strong security selection that were beneficial for performance.

•  Active asset allocation decisions were additive to returns.

  – An overweight to equities relative to fixed income contributed to performance.

  – Within equities, overweights to Brazil, Mexico, India and South Africa relative to broader emerging markets boosted returns. Exposure to European banks also added to performance. In contrast, overweights to Japanese stocks and small-cap stocks weighed on returns.

  – Within fixed income, the various credit tilts in the portfolio across high yield, investment grade and emerging market debt modestly contributed to performance. This was a positive environment for credit given the supportive backdrop of accommodative policy, robust fundamentals and improving global growth.

•  Active currency positions detracted from performance.

  – Long positions in the Brazilian real and European currencies detracted from performance. Short positioning in the Australian and New Zealand dollars offset some of this weakness. In general, the US dollar strengthened over this period as a result of US economic outperformance and rising interest rates.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.51% and 1.30%; Class P—1.24% and 1.05%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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, such as proxy-related expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, 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.

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.

UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, Class P2 shares of UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") returned -11.00%, while Class P shares returned -11.43%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) (the "Index"), returned -9.30%. 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 negative return and underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  On a sector level, stock selection in consumer discretionary and information technology (IT) were key contributors.

•  On a stock level, our overweight in MediaTek (Taiwan, IT) and our underweight in Alibaba (China, consumer discretionary) were among the top contributors to performance over the reporting period. Shares of MediaTek rebounded with investor interest returning to tech stocks in Taiwan. In addition, the launch of its high-end chipset that would target the flagship models of its handset customers in 2022 is keenly awaited. Our underweight position in Alibaba also contributed to returns. Shares of Alibaba fell alongside the China internet companies on heightened regulatory concerns, weaker consumption, tougher competition in the ecommerce space, as well as its lowered fiscal year 2022 guidance. We believe Alibaba will ride through this market softness. The stock is trading at attractive valuations and the company is investing in growing its e-commerce business such as Taobao Deals. Furthermore its investment in other businesses such as cloud and logistics may contribute more over time.

What didn't work:

•  On a sector level, stock selection within communication services and materials detracted from performance.

•  On a stock level, our overweights in Bilibili and Vale were among the main headwinds for results over the reporting period.

•  Shares of Bilibili underperformed on concerns of further regulations impacting online games' content. The company gave a conservative guidance on the back of a pause in gaming license approvals and concerns over the macro-outlook, as well as challenges with monetization of its gaming business. However, the underlying operating matrix including user growth, time spent, video views and user interaction remain solid. Vale's underperformance was related to the steep correction in iron ore prices in the period, coming from above $200/ton to below $100/ton. Prices were negatively impacted by large scale steel production controls in China, increased risks surrounding the Chinese property sector (including the potential debt default by Evergrande), and a general slowdown of economic growth in the region. We continue to hold Bilibili while we have sold out of Vale during the reporting period.

•  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, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—1.08% and 1.00%; Class P2—1.06% and 0.12%. 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, such as proxy-related expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, 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, 2021, Class P shares of UBS Engage For Impact Fund (the "Fund") returned 6.04%, while the Class P2 shares returned 6.43%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) (the "Index"), returned 5.55% 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's outperformance relative to the benchmark was driven primarily by positive stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Stock selection within the industrials and materials sectors was the largest positive contributor to Fund performance during the reporting period.

•  Several individual stock positions were positive for relative performance during the six-month period. The largest contributors were:

  – JTOWER, a developer of telecommunications infrastructure in both Japan and overseas, performed well following the release of third quarter results that showed a pickup in commercial and micro lending activity. Overall, we believe the telecom tower sharing business has good growth prospects in Japan and abroad.

  – Erste Group Bank's share price performed well following the release of its last quarter-end results that were ahead of market expectations. The company's positive 2021 guidance update included: mid-single-digit loan growth, high single-digit fee growth, and return to double-digit return on tangible equity. As Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) economies are recovering quickly, interest rate hikes are expected sooner, as well.

  – Evoqua Water Tech traded higher based on expectations that the company will benefit from the new infrastructure bill in the US. The announced acquisition of two subsidiaries of STERIS completes its water solutions for healthcare application, and was well received by the market.

  – Regal Rexnord's share price was boosted after the company achieved its "300 in 3" plan—aimed at expanding margins by 300 basis points (bps) over the next three years—ahead of schedule, with organic sales growth year over year approaching 40%. The predecessor company—Regal Beloit—also successfully completed its merger with Rexnord's Process & Motion Control (PMC) business to form Regal Rexnord.

  – Montrose Environmental Group announced strong earnings and raised its fiscal year 2021 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) guidance during the fourth quarter of 2021. The company continued to benefit from increasing demand for environmental services and evolving environmental regulatory initiatives.

What didn't work:

Stock selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from relative performance during the six-month period. The largest individual detractors were:

  – Coursera detracted after its latest results showed a deceleration in revenue growth quarter over quarter, particularly in the company's Degrees segment, that declined sequentially for the second quarter in a row. Coursera attributed this to lengthy lead times and seasonality. With 5.5 million new registered learners, we continue to

UBS Engage For Impact Fund

think Coursera remains a beneficiary of the drive for workers to enhance their skills over the longer term. We continue to hold this stock.

  – A lack of exposure to Apple, the largest stock in the benchmark, detracted from relative performance as the stock continued to outperform. Because the technology giant does not derive revenues from impactful products and services, we do not hold Apple in the Fund.

  – Shoals Technology Group detracted in the second half of 2021 as, like other clean-tech growth names, it was affected by the change in market leadership to more economically sensitive names. We continue to hold this stock.

  – The surge in the Delta and subsequent Omicron variants led American Well's management to adjust their revenue guidance for the second half of the year, with social distancing and mask wearing suspected to affect flu season-related demand. The company upgraded its EBITDA guidance slightly and continues to expand its healthcare platform. We continue to hold this stock.

  – Takeda Pharmaceutical's shares sold off as investors appeared unenthused by its earnings guidance for next year and potentially scared off by the company's projected research and development (R&D) investment. We sold out of this stock during the reporting period.

•  As of December 31, 2021, the Fund did not have any exposure to derivatives.

Portfolio highlights

The Fund is a high conviction, impactful portfolio invested in companies that we believe have an important role to play in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—not just through the products and services they sell but also through improvements in their operations and supply chains. The portfolio invests across five impact themes, which are climate, health, food, water and empowerment.

As of December 31, 2021, the portfolio's largest exposure was to the climate theme (49.5%), followed by health (16.8%) and food (15.8%), which translated in exposures to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger, 15.8%), 3 (Good Health and Well-Being, 16.8%), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy, 14.5%), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption & Production, 21.0%), among others.

The Fund's three largest overweights as of December 31, 2021 included:

Erste Group Bank

Impact Theme: Empowerment

Product Impact: SDG 1 (Zero Poverty)

Erste puts social banking at the core of its strategy and is a key actor in Central and Eastern Europe, where over 20% of the population is at risk of poverty or social exclusion. The bank operates in several segments including retail, small and medium enterprise (SME), and commercial real estate, in Austria and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) via an extensive network of branches and digital channels. Erste positions itself as a bank "taking care of persons that do not or no longer have access to traditional banking services and offers them first, or in some case second, opportunity to bank." Founded by a Catholic priest, the bank was a foundation before becoming a commercial entity, and has social banking principles at its core. The foundation, which owns 11% of the outstanding shares, aims not to redistribute dividends to charitable causes, but instead to empower communities with local projects, including access to finance, social inclusion and financial literacy programs. These actions are coordinated

with the bank, with initiatives such as the "Step-by-step banking programme," a platform in CEE for social banking and microcredits. Over 15 million people (23% of the CEE population) are at risk of poverty; therefore, Erste's social banking activities are crucial. In 2020, the bank estimates that its social banking activities supported 10,308 of these at-risk clients, with 1,404 clients financed (EUR 53 million disbursed loans) and 4,676 receiving financial literacy education. Since the launch of a formal social banking plan, Erste supported 36,000 clients, granted EUR 380 million in loans and provided educational support for 26,000 clients.

Bank Mandiri

Impact Theme: Empowerment

Product Impact: SDG 1 (Zero Poverty)

Bank Mandiri has exposure to social banking, with Indonesia banking penetration rate still quite low at approximately one-third of the population, with an estimate of more than 40% of loans being borrowed among family and friends rather than through financial institutions. Bank Mandiri is 60% owned by the government of Indonesia, and aligns its sustainable finance objectives with the Indonesian government's climate pledge and the Finance Authority's (OJK) directives. The bank raised its first green bond ($300 million and eight times oversubscribed) in 2021. We engaged with the bank in 2021 to assess the depth of its environmental and social risk monitoring capabilities in financing activities. Our engagement going forward will focus on supporting the company to adopt best-in-class procedures to assess human rights abuses risk in financing, in support of SDG 8 as well as SDG 10.

Ingersoll Rand

Impact Theme: Health

Product Impact: SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being)

Following the merger with Denver and disposal of various assets, we believe the company has a clear health impact profile, and management intends to grow exposure to the environmental and health end-markets over time. Ingersoll Rand (IR) is a diversified industrial machinery company involved in two core businesses: (1) industrial technologies & services (including mission-critical flow creation, such as compression, blowers, vacuums, pumps, and more) and (2) precision & science tech (medical applications). The company eliminated its exposure to the upstream oil and gas industry and to specialty vehicle technology over the course of 2021. An important growth driver for IR is the push into medical end markets, where the company manufactures a broad range of specialized gas, liquid and precision syringe pumps and compressors that are specified by medical and lab equipment suppliers and integrated into their equipment for final use (such as oxygen therapy, blood dialysis, patient monitoring, lab sterilization and wound treatment). These products are mission-critical in healthcare applications and represented approximately 18% of revenues in the second quarter of 2021, versus 10% in fiscal year 2020. In addition, management indicated a clear intention to focus its investments and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in sustainable end-markets, such as agritech, animal health, water, environmental and hydrogen, which should broaden the company's impact profile over time to include environmental impact benefits.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—1.69% and 0.85%; Class P2—2.24% 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. 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, such as proxy-related expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, do not exceed 0.85% for Class P shares and 0.25% 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 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.

4  Inception date of Class P2 of UBS Engage For Impact Fund is February 23, 2021.

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, 2021, Class A shares of UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned -2.59% (Class A shares returned -7.98% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -2.52% and Class P2 returned -2.15%. The Fund's benchmark, MSCI All Country World Index ex-US Index (the "Index"), returned -1.22%. (Class P2 shares have lower expenses than the other share classes in the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 52; 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 its benchmark during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Stock selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors added the most value relative to the benchmark.

•  Sony Group was the Fund's top contributor over the second half of 2021 as the company's shares performed well due to strong earnings, notably in the music and electronic products & solutions segments. Additionally, an indication of further profit growth in the medium term for Sony's entertainment content business lifted shares. Overall, the company has continued to perform well, boosted by growth in demand for consumer electronic products and digital content during the pandemic.

•  Erste Group Bank's shares traded strongly owing to a few key trends which boosted earnings, including strong retail loan growth on the year (and acceleration in the second quarter), triggered by demand for housing loans, as well as fees and commissions trending higher. Additionally, investors were keen on the appointment of new management board members, a move which demonstrated the bank's renewed focus on profitability.

•  Aon's shares were boosted as insurance broking firms benefitted from strong revenue growth and surging margins this year. Aon has performed well, owing to strong bottom-line improvement where it has executed on its commitment to strategic cost-cutting, mostly by means of divesting non-core operations and reinvesting the proceeds in the most profitable parts of the business. As such, Aon has steadily sold off parts of its retirement and investment businesses in order to expand on strengths such as its health and benefits business, flood insurance solutions, and risk and insurance solutions operations.

What didn't work:

•  Stock selection in the consumer staples and materials sectors detracted the most relative to the benchmark.

•  Alibaba was the main detractor over the period, as the company's shares sold off amid China's persistent regulatory crackdowns, including enforcing anti-monopoly measures. We continue to hold this stock.

•  LG Chem detracted amid volatility in preparation for the initial public offering (IPO) of its LG Energy Solutions subsidiary. We continue to hold this stock.

•  SoftBank Group's shares continued to decline in the second half of 2021 as its Vision Fund continued to underperform. Portfolio companies held in the fund such as Alibaba and Didi declined during the period, having been negatively impacted by the heightened regulatory regime in China. We continue to hold this stock.

UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund

Portfolio highlights

Our investment philosophy combines our bottom-up fundamental research with rigorous sustainability analysis. We look for companies that we believe are attractively valued and integrate sustainability factors into their business models to build a competitive advantage.

The investment process for the UBS International Sustainable Equity Fund's strategy is driven by a combination of fundamental, ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and thematic factors. Through this process, we aim to identify our best investment ideas across sectors and geographies from a stock-specific standpoint.

Please see below for summaries on the top three largest overweights in the portfolio, as of December 31, 2021:

Barry Callebaut

Barry Callebaut is the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products, and has been dedicated to this business for more than 150 years. The company operates in more than 40 countries, runs about 60 production facilities, employs a global workforce of more than 12,000 people, and generates annual sales of about $7.1 billion. We see long-term structural growth coming from outsourcing and volume growth, complemented by margin growth through leverage. Barry Callebaut is globally diversified, which gives it a competitive edge over smaller local players and allows for more capacity in innovation. We believe the company has a strong management team that is focused on long-term margin expansion and top line growth, with sustainability embedded in the DNA of the corporate culture. While the shutdown of restaurants and hotels has created short term headwinds for its Gourmet segment, we believe that post-crisis, there will be an opportunity to gain market share with a solid pipeline in food manufacturing. Overall, we view Barry Callebaut as being a recovery winner post-lockdown. In 2016, the company launched Forever Chocolate, with a plan to make sustainable chocolate the norm by 2025 and drive a sustainable cocoa and chocolate supply chain. It aims to have more than 500,000 cocoa farmers lifted out of poverty and have 100% sustainable ingredients in all the company's products. In its fourth annual progress report, Barry Callebaut reported that 143,233 cocoa farmers in its supply chain have moved out of poverty, and also reported an 8.1% reduction in its carbon footprint.

Bank Central Asia

PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) is an Indonesia-based financial institution. BCA offers individual and business products and services. BCA's individual products and services consist of savings accounts, electronic banking, credit cards, consumer credit products, bancassurance, investment products, remittance collection and safe deposit facilities. BCA's business products and services consist of savings accounts, BCA trade working capital loans, investment loans, and bank guarantees for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as for corporate customers. 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. Valuations of 3.9x price to book and 23x price to earnings (estimated for 2022) remain at a premium to the rest of sector, but in our view, are supported by leading balance sheet and management quality.

Sony Group

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 the PS5 gaming console. The restructuring of its Mobile Communication and Pictures divisions is also important. There is clearly a positive sign in Pictures, as it has had higher hit rates in the last couple of 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 receives a very high ESG score, lifted by its environmental efficiency.

As of December 31, 2021, the Fund did not have any exposure to derivatives.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.33% and 1.25%; Class P—1.05% and 1.00%; Class P2—1.08% and 0.22%. 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, such as proxy-related 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, such as proxy-related expenses) do not exceed 1.25% for Class A shares, 1.00% for Class P shares. This fee waiver and expense arrangement may only be amended or terminated by shareholders. The Advisor has also 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, 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 and extraordinary expenses, such as proxy-related expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, does not exceed 0.25% 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  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 ACWI ex USA Index captures large and mid cap representation across 22 of 23 Developed Markets (DM) countries (excluding the US) and 25 Emerging Markets (EM) countries*. With 2,336 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the global equity opportunity set outside the US.

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

UBS US Dividend Ruler Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2021 (the "reporting period"), Class P shares of UBS US Dividend Ruler Fund (the "Fund") returned 9.93%. For comparison purposes, the S&P 500 Index (the "Index") returned 11.67%. 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

•  In terms of stock selection, holdings in the industrial, financial, consumer staples, and materials sectors were most additive to relative performance.

•  In terms of sector allocation, the portfolio's underweight to communication services was the largest contributor to relative performance.

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

  – Microsoft's shares outperformed, benefiting from a strong IT investment cycle with healthy PC sales and continued very high levels of growth in its Azure cloud platform.

  – Despite difficult year-over-year comparisons, Home Depot continued to deliver strong sales and home improvement fundamentals continued to be supported by low interest rates, limited new housing supply, healthy consumer balance sheets, home price appreciation, and hybrid working arrangements

  – Broadcom's stock outperformed. Demand for the company's semiconductor chips remained strong, supported by growth in cloud computing and 5G infrastructure.

What didn't work

•  Stock selection in the health care and communication services sectors were the largest detractors from performance.

•  In terms of sector allocation, our overweights to industrials and financials, along with an underweight to information technology, detracted from relative returns.

•  A number of individual holdings weighed on performance, including:

  – COVID surges and hospital staffing shortages reduced elective procedure volumes and weighed on Medtronic's shares. The company also experienced near-term and likely temporary setbacks for two key pipeline assets. In our view, with its shares trading at their lowest relative valuation compared to the S&P 500 in history, a fair amount of pessimism appears priced in. A recovery in hospital procedure volumes and continued share gains in newly launched innovative products should support a rebound in the stock. We continue to hold the stock.

  – Comcast's shares lagged given lowered expectations for near-term broadband subscriber growth and increasing competition from telecom providers. While near-term broadband growth may slow following elevated pandemic-driven demand, we feel Comcast still stands to benefit from further penetration of its broadband business over time (current footprint is approximately 50% penetrated in the US). Strong free cash flow generation supports the company's ability to boost its share buyback program. We continue to hold the stock.

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

UBS US Dividend Ruler Fund

  – Intel's shares lagged following its third quarter earnings results. Intel detailed expectations for significantly lower profit margins for the coming years as its increases investment spending to build out its foundry business. We removed Intel from the Fund in October 2021.

•  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, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—1.57% 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, 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 and extraordinary expenses, such as proxy-related expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, 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.

UBS US Quality Growth at Reasonable Price Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2021 (the "reporting period"), Class P shares of UBS US Quality Growth at Reasonable Price Fund (the "Fund") returned 12.63%. For comparison purposes, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the "Index") returned 12.93%. 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

•  Stock selection in the health care, communication services, and industrial sectors were meaningful contributors to returns.

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

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

  – Microsoft's shares outperformed, benefiting from a strong IT investment cycle, with healthy PC sales and continued very high levels of growth in its Azure cloud platform.

  – Despite supply constraints, demand for Apple products remained strong. Shares of the company rallied given speculation of product launches in fast-growing areas including augmented and virtual reality and electric vehicles.

  – Alphabet's shares rallied. Following a sharp deceleration in advertising in 2020, search revenues strongly rebounded. The company continued to execute well across its other key platforms, showing improved monetization in mobile and YouTube, and share gains in cloud computing.

What didn't work

•  Stock selection in the information technology sector was a detractor from performance.

•  In terms of sector allocation, our underweight in information technology was the largest negative for relative returns.

•  A number of individual holdings were less additive to performance, including:

Fidelity National Information Services stock lagged due to pandemic-related headwinds weighing on their merchant volumes, as well as fears of share loss to fintech competitors. While the path to reopening has faced a series of challenges, we continue to expect the company will benefit from the eventual recovery in global travel. Moreover, payment volume growth for the company's merchant segment has generally mirrored the overall payments industry which, in our view, should dampen concerns of market share losses. We continue to hold the stock.

– Ongoing COVID surges and hospital staffing shortages continued to weigh on surgical procedure volumes for Medtronic. Setbacks in two key pipeline assets also weighed on the stock. We removed Medtronic from the Fund in December 2021.

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


63


UBS US Quality Growth at Reasonable Price Fund

– Similar to Fidelity National Information Services, Visa's shares lagged given the impact of COVID surges and lockdowns weighing on higher-margin cross border volumes. We expect an eventual economic normalization will help support Visa's stock. Fears of disintermediation from new payment structures such as Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) also weighed on investor sentiment for Visa. We view new payment structures as potentially complimentary to Visa's business and still expect a long-term growth runway for Visa with increasingly more transactions moving from cash to card over time. 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, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—1.23% 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, such as proxy-related expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, 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.

3  Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The index was developed with a base value of 200 as of August 31, 1992.

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

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned -2.80% (Class A shares returned -8.14% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -2.68%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned -5.64% 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 72; 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 performance was driven primarily by stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Within stock selection, MaxLinear was the top contributor to Fund performance for the six months ended December 31, 2021.

MaxLinear is a fabless provider of mixed-signal solutions for broadband communications and the wired/wireless infrastructure markets. The company outperformed after reporting third quarter results and providing fourth quarter guidance that was ahead of consensus expectations. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several other stock selection decisions benefited performance during the six-month period.

Herc, a heavy equipment rental services company for a wide array of industries, outperformed after the company revealed a three-year growth plan that included sales, earnings and net capital expenditure estimates that were above consensus expectations. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

DigitalOcean is a provider of on-demand infrastructure and platform tools to build, deploy and scale software applications. The company outperformed after reporting better-than-expected quarterly revenue and raising its annual guidance above expectations. DigitalOcean's second quarter results demonstrated acceleration across key metrics including annual recurring revenue, customer count and net retention rate, all of which supports the durability of the company's growth profile.

TopBuild is an insulation installer and distributor. The company outperformed during the six-month period as investors grew more confident about its ability to deliver significant synergies from its most recent acquisition. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

Regal Rexnord manufactures electric motors, drives, mechanical motion control products, and alternators for electric generators. The company outperformed after reporting second quarter earnings that beat consensus expectations. In addition, the company pulled forward the expected closing date of its acquisition of the Process & Motion Control business of Rexnord Corporation, and increased its 2022 expectations for the growth of proforma earnings and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

•  Within sector allocation, the Fund's overweight position in industrials, as well as its underweight in health care, contributed the most to relative returns over the six months. In contrast underweight positions in real estate and consumer staples detracted modestly.

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

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

What didn't work:

•  Certain stock selection decisions made a negative contribution to Fund returns during the reporting period.

Chegg operates an online education platform. The company underperformed after providing fourth quarter guidance that was materially lower than consensus expectations. Management attributed the cut in guidance to lower enrollment at community colleges, as students chose work over school because they are finding higher wages in the job market. We sold out of this stock after the reporting period.

STAAR Surgical is a developer and manufacturer of implantable collamer lenses for vision correction. The stock experienced weakness following a delay in FDA approval and launch of the company's EVO Visian lens in the US. We continue to hold this stock.

Shift4 Payments provides payment processing solutions, including software for transactions and money transfer activities. The stock underperformed after announcing that October 2021 payment volumes were up 80% versus the same period a year ago, which trailed consensus expectations. We continue to hold this stock.

Magnite is a provider of a technology solution to automate the purchase and sale of digital advertising inventory for buyers and sellers. The company's stock price declined after management commented that macroeconomic-related headwinds emerged in some client segments late in the third quarter. We continue to hold this stock.

CareDx, a developer and marketer of diagnostics surveillance solutions for transplant recipients, underperformed due to investor concerns about the lack of recent updates from the company, as well as competitive pressures in the markets where it operates. We sold the stock during the reporting period.

Portfolio highlights

MaxLinear is a leading provider of radio frequency, mixed-signal and analog integrated circuits for the connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial & multi-market applications. We believe the company's infrastructure business should benefit from continued 5G and 400G PAM4 deployments. MaxLinear's connected home business was boosted by the 2020 acquisition of Intel's Home Gateway Platform Division, which gives the company greater scale in the home gateway Wi-Fi market.

Herc is one of the leading North American equipment rental companies. The company operates in a highly fragmented market, which is seeing a secular growth tailwind of customers renting rather than owning equipment. Renting is beneficial because it frees up capital, provides flexibility, and outsources repair and maintenance of the fleet. We expect the company's growth to come from expanding and diversifying revenues, improving operating efficiencies and enhancing the customer experience, along with disciplined capital management.

TopBuild is a leading installer and distributor of insulation and building material products to the North American construction industry. We believe the company will continue to benefit from strong new construction trends within the housing market. Further, TopBuild has a robust mergers & acquisitions strategy to consolidate other insulation players, in addition to expanding its commercial and adjacent product offerings.

Regal Rexnord manufactures electric motors, drives, mechanical motion control products, and alternators for electric generators. Regal Rexnord was formed through the combination of Regal Beloit and Rexnord's Process & Motion Control business through a tax-free spin in a Reverse Morris Trust (RMT) transaction that closed in the fourth quarter of 2021. Regal has a strong market position in high efficiency HVAC motors used in North American residential and light commercial HVAC installations. The company also has exposure to e-commerce through its motion control systems and water initiatives through its support of variable speed motors for pool pumps. The company has been delivering improving profit margins despite the impact from the pandemic and supply chain inflation.

•  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, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.44% and 1.25%; Class P—1.17% 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, 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 1.24% 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. 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, 2021, Class A shares of UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned -0.02% (Class A shares returned -2.26% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 0.10.%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), returned 0.45%, and the Bloomberg Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1-17) Index returned 0.34% 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 78; 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 modestly underperformed its benchmark. This was partially due to the Fund's quality biases and yield curve positioning.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  From a yield curve positioning perspective, an overweight to the 20 year portion of the curve and an underweight to the 1-3 year portion of the curve contributed to relative performance. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.)

•  An overweight to the transportation sector positively impacted relative performance.

What didn't work

•  Yield curve positioning, overall, detracted from performance. Having an underweight allocation to the 22+ year portion of the municipal yield curve detracted from relative results as it lagged the benchmark.

•  The Fund's quality biases were negative for returns. In particular, an underweight to lower quality BBB-rated and A-rated securities detracted from relative results.

•  An underweight in the hospital sector was a headwind for relative performance.

•  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, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—0.99% 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, such as proxy-related expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, 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 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 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, 2021 (the "reporting period"), Class P shares of UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned -0.66%, while Class P2 shares returned -0.68%. For comparison purposes, the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Index (the "Index") returned -0.26%. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the Solactive UBS Global Multilateral Development Bank Bond USD 40% 1-5 Year 60% 5-10 Year Total Return Index, retuned -0.58% 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, although this is not guaranteed to always be the case.

Market review

In the second half of 2021, three main themes dominated the financial press headlines. First, similar to the end of 2020, new variants of COVID-19 were spreading widely. However, the impact of the successive waves on financial markets diminished and no lasting performance effects resulted. The second and much more impactful theme for financial markets was inflation. The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) surged through 2021 and reached levels not seen in the last 40 years towards year end. This led to the third theme, which was the reaction of global central banks and especially the Fed to this surge in inflation. At levels at around 7% (US CPI your-over-year), inflation sits well above their desired level. Those extreme levels were deemed transitory at first. However, the surge in inflation has proven to be broader and longer lasting. As such, the narrative changed and the Fed communicated its willingness to normalize their very accommodative monetary policy.

The hawkish shift of the Fed and other major central banks led to some volatility in financial markets. US Treasury yields started to rise to reflect the normalization path and risk assets showed a mixed picture. While US equity markets were able to rise, credit spreads of US investment-grade corporate bonds started to rise.

In this environment, US Treasurys outperformed riskier parts of the US fixed income markets. Ten-year US Treasury yields rose from 1.45% at the start of the reporting period to 1.52%. Sustainable development banks (SDB) showed some resiliency to rising credit spreads and performed in-line with US 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 modestly underperformed relative to its secondary benchmark. Transaction costs associated with the management of the Fund's portfolio, as well as fees and expenses, were only partially covered by the slight 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, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class P—0.80% and 0.25%; Class P2—0.68% 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, 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 and extraordinary expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, 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 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, 2021, Class A shares of UBS Total Return Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned -0.53% (Class A shares returned -4.26% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -0.41%. For comparison purposes, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index (the "Index") returned 0.06%. (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 92; 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 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:

Active Duration: A bias for having a shorter duration relative to the index contributed to performance as rates generally trended higher over the period.

Yield Curve Positioning: Positioning along the curve for a flattening of the US Treasury yield curve was additive for relative results.

US TIPS: An allocation to US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) contributed to performance as inflation expectations rose, which supported the TIPS market.

Securitized Exposure: An overweight to asset-backed securities (ABS) and security selection within the ABS market was additive. An underweight to the mortgage-backed security (MBS) market was also additive for relative returns.

What Didn't Work:

Security Selection: Security selection within the emerging market debt allocation, particularly to an issuer in China, was a detractor.

Duration—New Zealand: A long exposure to New Zealand interest rates was a headwind for returns during the period.

Duration Positioning in Germany: A short position to German bunds detracted from performance.

UBS Total Return Bond Fund

Market outlook:

In the US, ongoing high inflation, a buoyant household sector and tighter labor markets have forced the Federal Reserve (Fed) into a more hawkish posture sooner than anticipated. We now expect the Fed asset purchase taper to be complete by the end of March 2022 and the policy rate to be between 0.75% and 1% by the end of the year. GDP growth will likely be lower than 2021, but still higher than the pre-COVID trend. This should help support corporate earnings, but against a backdrop of tighter monetary policy when a lot of good news is already priced in. The Omicron variant is still a threat to the outlook, and COVID restrictions will cause disruption to global (and local) supply chains well into 2022.

It remains to be seen exactly how risk markets cope with real policy tightening, although the Fed has trailed an accelerated taper and the market has priced in at least two rate hikes for 2022. The emergence of the Omicron variant adds a lot of uncertainty to the 2022 outlook. A combination of tighter policy and a faltering recovery would be extremely damaging for risk assets. The credit impulse in China is negative and the property sector still faces some serious challenges with major debt restructuring looming for several issuers. Despite a better outlook for the broader economy the impact of credit losses in real-estate and the ongoing regulatory clampdown could still destabilize global markets.

With respect to our forward-looking views, risk assets are generally well supported, though rich in some cases, by the near-term economic outlook and the demand from the investment community, institutional and retail investors alike. We expect increased issuance in most sectors and eventual taper to put pressure on the Treasury and MBS markets. The supply/demand dynamics continue to look favorable for the US credit markets despite less attractive valuations. We remain defensive in the MBS sector.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios as in the October 28, 2021 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.74% and 0.76%; Class P—1.53% 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, such as proxy-related expenses), through the period ending October 28, 2022, 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 US Aggregate Index is 2.90%. 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 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, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (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  For the period from February 23, 2021 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2021.

2  Calculated using the average share method.

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.

1  Calculated using the average share method.

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

3  Annualized.

4  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 All China Equity Fund, 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 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 Engage For Impact 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.

In January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards ("FASB") Update No. 2021-01 ("ASU 2021-01"), "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)". ASU 2021-01 is an update of ASU 2020-04, which is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU 2021-01 update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this update become effective no later than December 31, 2022, for all entities. Management is currently evaluating the implications, if any, of the additional requirements and its impact on the Funds' financial statements.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Investment transactions, investment income and expenses: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income and expense are recorded 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 Fund , using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.

Offering costs

Offering costs are accounted for as deferred costs until operations begin and are then amortized to expense over twelve months on a straight-line basis.

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


139


The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currencydenominated 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. On November 30, 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced a delay in the phase out of a majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications until June 30 , 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications to still end at the end of 2021.

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.

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.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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 non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair value 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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. government securities or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

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, 2021, 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


144


The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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, 2021, the Funds did not hold any purchased options.

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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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. At December 31, 2021, the Funds did not hold any written options.

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

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 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 fund 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 composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. A Fund may use credit default swap agreements on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit default swap agreements on credit indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection's right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). A Fund may use credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement, which may exceed the amount of the value reflected on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of the period end for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swap agreements on 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

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Total return swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and the risk that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.

The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques, 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 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 ended December 31, 2021.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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, 2021 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities.

At December 31, 2021, the Fund had the following derivatives categorized by underlying risk:

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, 2021, 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:

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, 2021, 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, 2021, 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, 2021, there were no recaptured commissions on the Funds.

Purchases and sales of securities

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, 2021, 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, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, gains on certain securities held in certain foreign countries may be subject to taxes that will be paid by the Funds.

Each of the tax years in the four year fiscal period ended June 30, 2021 or since inception in the case of UBS All China Equity Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS Engage For Impact Fund, UBS US Dividend Ruler Fund, UBS US Quality Growth at Reasonable Price Fund and UBS Sustainable Development Bank Bond Fund remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
