PACE Select Advisors Trust

Introduction

March 16, 2012

Dear PACE Shareholder,

We are pleased to provide you with the semiannual report for the PACE portfolios (the "Portfolios"), comprising the PACE Select Advisors Trust. This report includes summaries of the performance of each Portfolio, as well as commentaries from the investment advisor and Sub-advisors regarding the events that affected Portfolio performance during the six months ended January 31, 2012. Please note that the opinions of the Sub-advisors do not necessarily represent those of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.

Moderating growth in many countries

Although the overall US economy expanded during the reporting period, gross domestic product ("GDP") growth rates in general could best be characterized as tepid. At its August meeting, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), acknowledging that economic growth had been considerably slower than it expected, declared that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold until at least through mid-2013. In January 2012, the Fed extended this period, noting that economic conditions warranted maintaining exceptionally low federal funds rate levels at least through late 2014.

Additionally, the Fed announced its plan to purchase $400 billion of longer-term Treasury securities, and to sell an equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities by June 2012. Dubbed "Operation Twist," the Fed noted that its intention with this program was to "put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative."

In contrast to the US, many international economies took a step backward as the reporting period progressed. Growth in the Eurozone was negatively impacted by its ongoing sovereign debt crisis, as well as weak consumer and business confidence. While Japan's economy gained some momentum in the third quarter of 2011, its economy again contracted during the last three months of the year. Elsewhere, while growth rates in many developing countries such as China and India surpassed their developed country counterparts, they also tended to progressively move lower during the course of the reporting period.

US equities outperformed their international counterparts

The global equity markets experienced periods of extreme volatility during the reporting period, as a number of macro factors impacted investor sentiment. After being highly resilient and rising earlier in 2011, the US stock market fell sharply in the first two months of the review period, as investor risk appetite was replaced by risk aversion. Triggering this change in sentiment were concerns about the European sovereign debt crisis, signs of decelerating global growth and the downgrade of US long-term debt. US equities then rallied sharply over the last four months of the review period, given signs that the economy was gaining some traction. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 2.71% during the six months ended January 31, 2012.

International developed equities (as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index(net)2) also moved higher during the first half of 2011. However, fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis and increasing signs that Europe was headed for a double-dip recession led to a very sharp decline in the first two months of the period.

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 from 22 countries designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Dividends are reinvested after the deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. 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.

Even though international equities rallied over the last four months of the period, it was not enough to offset their earlier weakness. Overall, for the six-month period ended January 31, 2012, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) declined 10.42%. Emerging markets equities (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index3) also produced weak results, falling 9.47% over the period. Concerns about a hard landing for China's economy and declining growth in the developed world drove emerging market equity prices lower.

Riskier fixed income securities produced mixed results

The US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) were also volatile during the reporting period. Over the first two months of the period, investor risk aversion was often elevated due to concerns about the European sovereign debt crisis, signs of decelerating global growth and the downgrade of US long-term debt. Against this backdrop, US Treasury yields fell sharply. Risk appetite then increased at times during the last four months of the period, given signs that the US economy was gaining some traction. All told, during the six months ended January 31, 2012, a number of spread sectors underperformed Treasuries, and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index,4 returned 4.25%.

Looking more closely at lower-rated fixed-income securities, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index5 gained a modest 1.19% during the reporting period. In contrast, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),6 rose 3.03%.The emerging markets debt asset class was supported by continued solid growth in developing countries and generally solid demand from investors seeking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver
President, PACE Select Advisors Trust
Managing Director, UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.

3  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of companies representative of the market structure of 21 emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Basin. 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 Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad based index designed to measure the US-dollar-denominated, investment grade, fixed rate taxable bond market. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed sectors. US agency hybrid adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) securities were added to the Index on April 1, 2007. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

5  The BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index is an unmanaged index of publicly placed non-convertible, coupon-bearing US-dollar-denominated below investment grade corporate debt with a term to maturity of at least one year. The index is market weighted, so that larger bond issuers have a greater effect on the index's return. However, the representation of any single bond issue 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.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio returned 0.01% before the deduction of the maximum PACE program fee. (The Portfolio declined 0.99% after the deduction of the maximum PACE program fee, for the same six-month period.) Please remember that the PACE program fee is assessed outside the Portfolio at the PACE program account level. The program fee does not impact the determination of the Portfolio's net asset value per share. For comparison purposes, the median return of the Lipper Money Market Funds category was 0.01%. (Returns over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 6. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the period, please refer to page 2.

Advisor's comments

The economy continued to grow during the reporting period, although the expansion was tempered by continued high unemployment and weakness in the housing market. Against this backdrop, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") maintained the federal funds rate at a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%. (The federal funds rate, or "fed funds" rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) As a result, the yields of the securities in which the Portfolio invests remained extremely low, which in turn kept the Portfolio's yield low.

We tactically adjusted the Portfolio's weighted average maturity (WAM)—which is the average duration of the securities in the Portfolio—throughout the six-month review period. When the reporting period began, the Portfolio had a WAM of 47 days. Given the challenges associated with the Standard & Poor's downgrade of US long-term debt and the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis, a key strategy for the Portfolio was maintaining ample liquidity. One way we accomplished this was by reducing the Portfolio's WAM; at period end, it was at 36 days. We also proactively cut the Portfolio's exposure to European banks.

At the issuer level, we maintained a high level of diversification, investing in smaller positions with the goal of reducing risk and keeping the Portfolio highly liquid. To that end, we typically purchased up to 3% in single nongovernment issuers throughout the reporting period. (The Portfolio is generally able to hold up to 5% in any one issuer, subject to certain exceptions.)

In terms of securities, we increased the Portfolio's exposure to commercial paper, US government and agency obligations and certificates of deposit over the six-month period. Conversely, we significantly reduced our allocation to repurchase agreements (transactions in which the seller of a security agrees to buy it back at a predetermined time and price or upon demand).

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 2.30% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares returned 1.28% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Barclays Capital US Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (the "benchmark") returned 2.73%, and the Lipper US Mortgage Funds category posted a median return of 2.60%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 13. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.

Sub-Advisor's comments1

The Portfolio underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period, partly due to a duration position that was slightly shorter than that of the benchmark's for most of the period. As US interest rates declined, this position had a negative impact on performance. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) An emphasis on the intermediate portion of the yield curve—which was a positive for performance when long maturity interest rates declined more than short maturity interest rates, causing the yield curve to flatten—offset the impact of this duration position. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates).

Tactical security selection among agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") was mixed for performance during the period. Active relative value strategies added to returns later in the period when the Portfolio capitalized on dislocations in value among agency MBS coupons, which resulted from policy-related headlines. A modest underweight to Ginnie Mae MBS, especially during the beginning of the period, detracted from performance as Ginnie Mae MBS outperformed conventional (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) MBS, due to strong demand from banks and international investors. An underweight to

1  All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

PACE Select Advisors Trust – PACE Government Securities Fixed Income Investments

Investment Sub-Advisor:

Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO")

Portfolio Manager:

W. Scott Simon

Objective:

Current income.

Investment process:

The Portfolio invests primarily in government fixed income securities which include US bonds, including those backed by mortgages, and related repurchase agreements. Mortgage-backed securities include "to be announced" or "TBA" securities which usually are traded on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and no defined maturity date; issued or guaranteed by US government agencies and instrumentalities. The Portfolio also invests, to a lesser extent, in investment grade bonds of private issuers, including those backed by mortgages or other assets. The Portfolio may invest in bonds of varying maturities, but normally limits its duration to within two years (plus or minus) of the effective duration of the Portfolio's benchmark index. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) The Portfolio may engage in short selling with respect to securities issued by the US Treasury and certain TBA securities coupon trades. PIMCO establishes duration targets based on its expectations for changes in interest rates, and then positions the Portfolio to take advantage of yield curve shifts. PIMCO decides to buy and sell specific bonds based on an analysis of their values relative to other similar securities.

lower coupon MBS also detracted from performance, as these securities were the least adversely impacted by concerns of a government-induced refinancing wave.

Exposure to senior non-agency MBS detracted from performance as prices declined given limited transaction activity, the general de-risking of balance sheets by dealers, and ongoing uncertainty regarding the state of the housing market. A modest allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") added to returns, as the CMBS sector benefited from continued demand for higher yielding assets. Within the Portfolio's non-agency MBS and CMBS allocations, an emphasis on securities more senior in the capital structure proved beneficial for results, as lower quality securities underperformed amid the risk aversion that accompanied policy stalemates in Europe and the US.

The Portfolio used options and options on swaps during the period, primarily to manage interest rate and volatility exposures, but also to generate income in expected interest rate scenarios. The use of these instruments during the period was positive for performance.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking current income who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The yield and value of the Portfolio change every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 0.43%; 5-year period, 5.18%; 10-year period, 4.61%; Class B—1-year period, (0.61)%; 5-year period, 5.02%; 10-year period, 4.62%; Class C—1-year period, 3.98%; 5-year period, 5.64%; 10-year period, 4.57%; Class Y—1-year period, 5.53%; 5-year period, 6.45%; 10-year period, 5.40%; Class P—1-year period, 3.44%; 5-year period, 4.31%; 10-year period, 3.26%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.06% and 1.02%; Class B—1.83% and 1.77%; Class C—1.58% and 1.52%; Class Y—0.88% and 0.77%; and Class P—0.86% and 0.77%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to (1) waive its management fees through November 28, 2012 to the extent necessary to reflect the lower sub-advisory fee paid by UBS Global AM to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, the Portfolio's investment sub-advisor; and (2) waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.02%; Class B—1.77%; Class C—1.52%; Class Y—0.77%; and Class P—0.77%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses (pursuant to item (2)) to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The Barclays Capital US Mortgage-Backed Securities Index is an unmanaged index which primarily covers the agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities issued by Ginnie Mae (formally known as Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA), Freddie Mac (formally known as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or FHLMC), and Fannie Mae (formally known as Federal National Mortgage Association or FNMA). Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Portfolio footnotes

*  On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency placed the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation into conservatorship, and the US Treasury guaranteed the debt issued by those organizations.

1  Entire amount designated as collateral for investments sold short.

2  Security is being fair valued by a valuation committee under the direction of the board of trustees.

3  Step bond that converts to the noted fixed rate at a designated future date.

4  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities, which represent 7.11% of net assets as of January 31, 2012, are considered liquid and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.

5  Variable or floating rate security. The interest rate shown is the current rate as of January 31, 2012 and changes periodically.

6  Interest Only Security. This security entitles the holder to receive interest payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. The risk associated with this security is related to the speed of the principal paydowns. High prepayments would result in a smaller amount of interest being received and cause the yield to decrease. Low prepayments would result in a greater amount of interest being received and cause the yield to increase.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 2.18% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares returned 1.16% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Barclays Capital US Intermediate Government/Credit Index (the "benchmark") returned 2.84%, and the Lipper Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds category posted a median return of 1.67%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 26. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.

Sub-Advisor's comments1

The Portfolio lagged its benchmark during the reporting period. Detractors from performance included the Portfolio's credit and foreign agency allocations. Positive contributors to performance included our yield curve positioning and allocation to inflation-linked bonds ("ILB"). (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.)

The largest detractor during the period was credit sector allocation, most significantly in August and September 2011. Our overweight exposure to the credit sectors, particularly our high yield bond allocation and higher-beta bias (favoring those securities that are more sensitive to market volatility) hurt relative performance, as the European debt crisis and the US debt downgrade spurred a significant flight to quality. However, our high-beta bias worked in our favor during the last four months of the review period. This occurred as the European Central Bank offered European banks three-year fixed rate financing at 1.0% with relaxed collateral rules, which ignited an increase in investor risk appetite that lasted into 2012.

The seldom talked about sovereign plus/foreign agency sector detracted from performance due to the downgrade of Eksportfinans, a Norwegian export financing entity. This downgrade came given Norway's decision to wind down the entity. While it appears the wind-down and consequent retirement of debt will be orderly and without loss, the ratings agencies took action due to the entity losing its implicit government support.

The Portfolio's yield curve positioning contributed to performance. A large portion of the gains came in August 2011, as we implemented a flattening bias, which benefited from a strong rally in long-term bonds that

Investment Sub-Advisor:

BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. ("BlackRock")

Portfolio Managers:

Matthew Marra and Brian Weinstein

Objective:

Current income, consistent with reasonable stability of principal.

Investment process:

The Portfolio invests primarily in fixed income securities. BlackRock decides to buy specific bonds based on its credit analysis and review. BlackRock strives to add value by controlling the Portfolio's duration within a narrow band relative to the Barclays Capital US Intermediate Government/Credit Index. To accomplish this, BlackRock employs an analytical process that involves evaluating macroeconomic trends, technical market factors, yield-curve exposure and market volatility. Once BlackRock establishes the investment themes on duration, yield curve exposure, convexity, sector weighting, credit quality and liquidity, the Portfolio's investments are diversified by sector, subsector and security.

1  All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

was sparked by actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") during the third quarter of 2011. At that time, the Fed announced its plan to purchase $400 billion of longer term Treasury securities, and to sell an equal amount of shorter term Treasury securities by June 2012. We successfully adjusted our yield curve positioning tactically for the remainder of the period as rates remained within a fairly narrow range.

The Portfolio's ILB allocation added modestly to performance, with the largest contribution to performance occurring in the last month of the review period. In addition to benefiting from an increase in investor risk appetite, ILBs performed well in January as the Fed made it clear that the federal funds rate will stay low well into the future. In addition, the probability increased that the Fed would institute a third round of quantitative easing. The expectation that an accommodative policy would continue increased the value of inflation-protected securities.

A number of derivative instruments were used during the reporting period. Futures were used to manage the overall duration and yield curve exposures of the Portfolio. Interest rate swaps were utilized to manage the Portfolio's overall duration and spread duration. Foreign exchange forward contracts were used to help hedge the foreign currency risk associated with buying non-US dollar-denominated bonds. Furthermore, we used these forward contracts to opportunistically express our views on certain currencies. Credit default swaps were used to manage the credit risk of corporate bonds held in the Portfolio. Overall, the use of these derivative instruments performed as expected during the reporting period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking current income and a reasonable stability of principal. Investors should be able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (0.35)%; 5-year period, 3.86%; 10-year period, 2.99%; Class B—1-year period, (1.46)%; 5-year period, 3.67%; 10-year period, 2.99%; Class C—1-year period, 3.13%; 5-year period, 4.31%; 10-year period, 2.94%; Class Y—1-year period, 4.59%; 5-year period, 5.08%; 10-year period, 3.72%; Class P—1-year period, 2.52%; 5-year period, 2.99%; 10-year period, 1.67%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—0.99% and 0.93%; Class B—1.81% and 1.68%; Class C—1.49% and 1.43%; Class Y—0.83% and 0.68%; and Class P—0.72% and 0.68%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—0.93%; Class B—1.68%; Class C—1.43%; Class Y—0.68%; and Class P—0.68% . The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The Barclays Capital US Intermediate Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged subset of the Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Index covering all investment grade issues with maturities from one up to (but not including) 10 years. The average-weighted maturity is typically between four and five years. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 5.08% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares returned 4.03% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Index (the "benchmark") returned 5.05%, and the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds category posted a median return of 3.41%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 39. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.

Sub-Advisor's comments1

The Portfolio modestly outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period (although, as noted above, it underperformed its benchmark after taking fees into consideration). An underweight to corporate bonds added to returns, as the sector lagged like-duration Treasuries amid heightened risk aversion. This was mitigated by an emphasis on the bonds of financial companies, as these securities lagged the broader corporate bond sector.

An allocation to local rates in Brazil was positive for performance as their rates fell. A modest exposure to a basket of emerging markets currencies detracted from returns, as investors fled to the safety of the US dollar.

A short US duration position was negative for returns as US interest rates, especially long maturity interest rates, declined during the period. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) This was offset by duration exposure outside of the US, particularly in the UK and Australia, as rates fell across the globe.

Exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") detracted from returns when this sector lagged like-duration Treasuries during the reporting period. Holdings of senior non-agency MBS also impacted performance negatively, while a small allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") added to returns.

PACE Select Advisors Trust – PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments

Investment Sub-Advisor:

Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO")

Portfolio Manager:

Saumil H. Parikh

Objective:

Total return consisting of income and capital appreciation.

Investment process:

The Portfolio invests primarily in investment grade fixed income securities of governmental and private issuers in the United States and foreign countries. Its duration (a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes) is normally limited to within two years (plus or minus) of the effective duration of the Portfolio's benchmark index. PIMCO seeks to invest in the areas of the bond market it considers undervalued, based on such factors as quality, sector, coupon and maturity. PIMCO decides to buy or sell specific bonds based on an analysis of their values relative to other similar bonds. PIMCO monitors the prepayment experience of the Portfolio's mortgage-backed bonds, and will also buy and sell securities to adjust the average portfolio duration, credit quality, yield curve, sector and prepayment exposure, as appropriate.

1  All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

Derivatives use generated positive results during the period.

Interest rate swaps were used to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures, as well as to substitute for physical securities. Credit default swaps were also utilized to manage credit exposure in lieu of the direct buying or selling of securities. Options and options on swaps were primarily used to manage interest rate and volatility exposures, but they were also used to generate income in expected interest rate scenarios. Government futures were utilized to adjust interest rate exposures and replicate government bond positions. Money market futures were used to manage exposures at the front end of the yield curve.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking total return consisting of income and capital appreciation and who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. In addition, investments in foreign bonds involve special risks. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 4.68%; 5-year period, 7.76%; 10-year period, 6.41%; Class B—1-year period, 3.68%; 5-year period, 7.62%; 10-year period, 6.42%; Class C—1-year period, 8.30%; 5-year period, 8.22%; 10-year period, 6.38%; Class Y—1-year period, 9.77%; 5-year period, 9.06%; 10-year period, 7.20%; Class P—1-year period, 7.58%; 5-year period, 6.85%; 10-year period, 5.06%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.09% and 1.06%; Class B—1.85% and 1.81%; Class C—1.53% and 1.53%; Class Y—0.96% and 0.81%; and Class P—0.84% and 0.81%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.06%; Class B—1.81%; Class C—1.56%; Class Y—0.81%; and Class P—0.81%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged index which is composed of all investment-grade bonds that have at least one year to maturity. The Index's total return comprises price appreciation/depreciation and income as a percentage of the original investment. The Index is rebalanced monthly by market capitalization. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 5.73% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares returned 4.68% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Barclays Capital US Municipal 3-15 Year Blend Index (the "benchmark") returned 6.31%, and the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted a median return of 5.99%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 57. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.

Sub-Advisor's comments1

The Portfolio lagged its benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to yield curve positioning and sector allocation. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.) The municipal market rallied amid a favorable supply/demand backdrop, driving yields lower across the curve. While the Portfolio benefited from a modestly long duration versus the benchmark, an overweight to the 4- to 8-year maturity range, combined with an underweight to longer-term 12-to-15-year bonds, hurt relative returns. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) During the period, investor willingness to take on more risk resulted in longer duration securities outperforming their shorter duration counterparts. The negative impact of yield curve positioning was somewhat mitigated by favorable security selection, as well as a quality bias to attractively yielding A-rated bonds, the latter of which performed strongly versus the highest grade AAA- and AA-rated categories.

From a sector standpoint, an underweight to the general obligation sector detracted from relative returns. Strong performance in this sector was driven by heavy demand from retail investors, as well as light new issuance. State and local governments continued to focus on enacting austerity measures and pension reform and, subsequently, issued bonds at the lightest pace in over a decade. The negative impact of this sector weighting, however, was mitigated by favorable security selection within state general obligation bonds, specifically those issued by Illinois and New Jersey, as the Portfolio captured profits resulting from the rally during the reporting period. From a sector perspective, an underweight to low yielding Treasury-backed pre-refunded bonds that lagged the market was a positive contributor. This was somewhat offset by an emphasis on revenue sectors such as the hospital, airport and tobacco sectors, as they did not keep pace with the general obligation sector.

Investment Sub-Advisor:

Standish Mellon Asset Management Company LLC ("Standish")

Portfolio Manager:

Christine L. Todd

Objective:

High current income exempt from federal income tax.

Investment process:

In deciding which securities to buy for the Portfolio, Standish seeks to identify undervalued sectors or geographical regions of the municipal market, or undervalued individual securities. To do this, Standish uses credit research and valuation analysis, and monitors the relationship of the municipal yield curve to the Treasury yield curve. Standish may also make modest duration adjustments based on economic analyses and interest rate forecasts. Standish generally sells securities if it identifies more attractive investment opportunities within its investment criteria that may improve the Portfolio's return. Standish also may sell securities with weakening credit profiles or to adjust the average duration of the Portfolio.

1  All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

Fiscal conditions for state and local governments stabilized throughout the period as significant strides were made toward fiscal reform and closing budget gaps. The Portfolio maintained broad diversification across many geographic regions and benefited from its overweight to Texas local school district bonds, which performed strongly amid a backdrop of light supply. Exposure to holdings in the state of California and New York City were additive as they generated strong performance, while a concentration to local general obligation bonds was also a plus. Lastly, the Portfolio's underweight to bonds with call features, which allow the issuer to opportunistically redeem bonds at a set price, detracted from relative returns.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking high current income exempt from federal income taxes. Investors should be able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The yield and value of the Portfolio change every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—0.94% and 0.93%; Class B—1.75% and 1.68%; Class C—1.45% and 1.43%; Class Y—0.74% and 0.68%; and Class P—0.72% and 0.68%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—0.93%; Class B—1.68%; Class C—1.43%; Class Y—0.68% and Class P—0.68%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The Barclays Capital US Municipal 3-15 Year Blend Index is an unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the tax-exempt bond market. The Index includes municipal bonds with an effective maturity between 2 and 17 years that have at least one year to maturity and are investment grade. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares declined 2.18% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares declined 3.15% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate ex US Index (the "benchmark") declined 1.28%, and the Lipper International Income Funds category posted a median decline of 1.74%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 68. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.

Sub-Advisor's comments1

The Portfolio underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. We had a preference for economies with improving economic fundamentals, such as Canada, Australia and Norway. We also had exposure to local interest rate markets in Mexico and Korea. During the period, underweights to the US and UK detracted from relative performance. Conversely, Canada, core Europe, Mexico, Australia and Korea outperformed other bond markets in local currency terms. As such, our overweights in these markets added to relative returns.

As the sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone intensified and the global economic environment deteriorated, the US dollar benefited from the risk-averse environment. Against this backdrop, our overweights to the Australian and Canadian dollars, an overweight to the Norwegian krone and an overweight to a basket of emerging markets currencies versus the US dollar detracted from relative returns.

During the period, we maintained a broadly neutral overall bond duration stance given the downside risks to global economic activity. Our duration positioning detracted from performance. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) The Portfolio was positioned for a flattening of the yield curve, which had a small negative impact on results. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.)

Our exposure to investment grade credit made a small positive contribution to returns. Despite the backdrop of economic uncertainty and the lack of a resolution to the European sovereign debt crisis, we were positive on

Investment Sub-Advisor:

Rogge Global Partners plc ("Rogge Global Partners")

Portfolio Managers:

Olaf Rogge, John Graham, Richard Bell, Adrian James and Malie Conway

Objective:

High total return.

Investment process:

Rogge Global Partners seeks to invest the Portfolio's assets in fixed income securities of financially healthy issuers, because it believes that these investments produce the highest bond and currency returns over time. In deciding which fixed income securities to buy for the Portfolio, Rogge Global Partners uses a top-down analysis to find value across countries and to forecast interest and currency-exchange rates over a one-year horizon in those countries. Rogge Global Partners also uses an optimization model to help determine country, currency and duration positions for the Portfolio. Rogge Global Partners generally sells securities that no longer meet these selection criteria or when it identifies more attractive investment opportunities, and may also sell securities to adjust the average duration of the Portfolio.

1  All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

investment grade credit, favoring select industrial names and financials. With industrial balance sheets continuing to look relatively robust, we had a preference for well-funded, internationally diversified corporate issuers, which aided results. In the financial sector, systemic risks were elevated, especially in Europe. However, we believed that regulation would serve to constrain more volatile banking activity, which, in turn, would support bank sustainability in the long term. Within financials, we favored more senior portions of bank capital structures. The overweight in financials detracted from relative performance.

During the reporting period, derivatives were used to manage our country allocations, as well as our duration, yield curve and relative value exposures. They were also utilized to manage our cross market allocations, as well as to hedge asset allocation decisions involving credit. Overall, the use of these derivative instruments performed as expected during the reporting period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking high total return and who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The yield and value of the Portfolio change every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets than in more developed countries.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (1.95)%; 5-year period, 4.68%; 10-year period, 6.16%; Class B—1-year period, (2.99)%; 5-year period, 4.49%; 10-year period, 6.18%; Class C—1-year period, 1.43%; 5-year period, 5.14%; 10-year period, 6.15%; Class Y—1-year period, 2.76%; 5-year period, 5.94%; 10-year period, 6.97%; Class P—1-year period, 0.80%; 5-year period, 3.79%; 10-year period, 4.79%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.26% and 1.21%; Class B—2.06% and 2.00%; Class C—1.74% and 1.69%; Class Y—1.11% and 1.00%; and Class P—1.11% 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 Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to (1) waive its management fees through November 28, 2012 to the extent necessary to reflect the lower sub-advisory fee paid by UBS Global AM to Rogge Global Partners plc, the Portfolio's investment sub-advisor; and (2) waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.25%; Class B—2.00%; Class C—1.75%; Class Y—1.00% and Class P—1.00% . The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses (pursuant to item (2)) to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate ex US Index is an unmanaged index which provides a broad-based measure of the global investment grade fixed income markets excluding the US market. The two major components of this Index are the Pan-European Aggregate and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Indices. The Index also includes Eurodollar and Euro-Yen corporate bonds, Canadian government, agency and corporate securities. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 0.59% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares declined 0.41% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Index (hedged in USD) (the "benchmark") returned 1.10%, and the Lipper High Current Yield Funds category posted a median return of 1.07%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 78. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.

Sub-Advisor's comments1

The Portfolio underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. The primary driver of performance was the Portfolio's beta positioning, which was slightly above that of the benchmark. (Beta is a measure of volatility or risk relative to the market as a whole.) Additionally, our out-of-benchmark exposure to mortgages, bank loans and equity received from restructurings detracted from relative performance during the period.

In terms of sectors, automakers outperformed as the industry continued to see sales rebounding from the supply chain disruption earlier in 2011. Ford Motor Co. was a top performer for the Portfolio, although our exposure to General Motors Co. was a drag on results. Some of the Portfolio's financial issuers were among the top performers for the period (Ally Financial, Inc. and CIT Group, Inc.), as the industry shrugged off concerns about Europe. Our exposure to homebuilders (Beazer Homes USA, Inc.) and building material companies (USG Corp.) received a lift from recent positive housing trends. Positive economic news also prompted a rebound in our gaming holdings (MGM Resorts International and Wynn Las Vegas). In contrast, the unexpected bankruptcy filing of AMR, the parent company to American Airlines, had a negative impact on the Portfolio. Our holdings in AMR are secured and we believe that probabilities favor relatively high recoveries. The bankruptcy announcement pulled down other airlines as well (Delta, United and US Air). Other issuers that were detrimental to performance included bonds from the energy sector, due to a warm start to winter (Ferrell Gas), Geokinetics Holdings, Inc., a seismic imaging company struggling with operational issues, and our European exposure (HT1 Funding GmbH, Egg Banking PLC, SGL Carbon SE and IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG).

Investment Sub-Advisor:

MacKay Shields LLC ("MacKay Shields")

Portfolio Managers:

Dan Roberts, Taylor Wagenseil, Michael Kimble and Lou Cohen

Objective:

Total return.

Investment process:

MacKay Shields attempts to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns by avoiding most of the unusually large losses in the high yield market, even if it means giving up much of the large potential gains. MacKay Shields believes that there is a very small subset of bonds that delivers outsized gains in the market. Due to the limited upside inherent in most bonds, over time, outsized gains are expected to be smaller than unusually large losses. By attempting to limit the Portfolio's participation in the extremes of the market, MacKay Shields strives to add value over a market cycle with lower volatility. MacKay Shields seeks to do this through a rigorous process that attempts to screen out what it believes to be the riskiest issuers in the market.

1  All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

We continue to be comfortable with our positioning of the Portfolio, and will maintain the current risk profile to take advantage of the positive returns we anticipate in the high yield market in 2012.

Currency forwards were successfully used during the reporting period to hedge the Portfolio's currency exposure into US dollars. Treasury futures, which were used to manage the duration of the overall portfolio, were a drag on performance during the period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking total return and who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of fixed income securities rated below investment grade or considered to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). These securities are subject to higher risks than investment grade securities, including greater price volatility and a greater risk of loss of principal and nonpayment of interest. Issuers of such securities are typically in poor financial health, and their ability to pay interest and principal is uncertain. The prices of such securities may be more vulnerable to bad economic news, or even the expectation of bad news, than higher rated or investment grade bonds and other fixed income securities. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. In addition, investments in foreign bonds involve special risks. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Therefore these amounts have been estimated. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.35%; Class B—2.10%; Class C—1.85%; Class Y—1.10%; and Class P—1.10%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed this expense cap. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Since inception returns are calculated as of commencement of issuance on April 10, 2006 for Class P shares, May 1, 2006 for Class A shares and January 21, 2009 for Class C shares. Class Y shares commenced issuance on April 3, 2006 and had fully redeemed by July 24, 2006 remaining inactive through December 25, 2008. The inception return of Class Y shares is calculated from December 26, 2008, which is the date the Class Y shares recommenced investment operations. Since inception returns for the Index and Lipper median are shown as of April 30, 2006, which is the month-end after the inception date of the oldest share class (Class P).

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  The BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Index (hedged in USD) is an unmanaged index which covers US dollar, Canadian dollar, sterling and euro-denominated fixed rate debt of corporate issuers domiciled in an investment grade rated country (i.e., BBB or higher foreign currency long-term debt rating). Individual bonds must be rated below investment grade (i.e., BB or lower based on a composite of Moody's and S&P) but not in default; and must have at least one year remaining term to maturity; a minimum face value outstanding of $100 million, C$50 million, 50 million pounds sterling or 50 million euros; and have available price quotations. New issues qualify for inclusion after they settle. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 1.21% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares returned 0.20% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Russell 1000 Value Index (the "benchmark") returned 1.74%, and the Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds category posted a median return of 0.76%. (Please note that while two of the Portfolio's Sub-Advisors outperformed the benchmark on a gross of fees basis, the Portfolio as a whole underperformed net of fees, as reported here, largely because fees and expenses that are embedded in the Portfolio are not embedded in the benchmark. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 93. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.

Sub-Advisors' comments1

ICAP

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Overall, we focus on purchasing individual names that we believe have a combination of attractive valuations and catalysts likely to trigger appreciation over a 12- to 18-month time frame. In a volatile period characterized by a market that initially declined but later rebounded, performance for the period was primarily driven by stock selection in several key areas.

Stock selection in the energy sector added to performance, led by integrated oil and gas company Occidental Petroleum. The company's share price rose as it experienced improved production and stronger pricing. An overweight to information technology added to performance relative to the benchmark, with software maker Microsoft Corp. being a top contributor in the sector. Stock selection in the capital spending sector was beneficial as well. In particular, our holding of Honeywell International, Inc. was rewarded, as it continued to deliver strong operating results and improved margins and income. Elsewhere, overweights to the health care and consumer staples sectors were beneficial for comparative performance. Other

Portfolio Managers:

Objective:

Capital appreciation and dividend income.

Investment process:

ICAP uses its proprietary valuation model to identify large capitalization companies that it believes offer the best relative values and seeks to avoid companies that exhibit excessive deterioration in earnings trends. ICAP looks for companies where there is a catalyst for positive change with potential to produce stock appreciation of 15% or more relative to the market over a 12- to 18-month period.

ICAP also uses internally and externally generated research to evaluate the financial condition and business prospects of every company it considers. ICAP monitors each stock purchased and sells the stock when its target price is achieved, the catalyst becomes inoperative, or ICAP identifies another stock with greater opportunity for appreciation.

Westwood utilizes a value style of investing in which it chooses common stocks it believes are currently undervalued.

1  All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

specific stocks that added to performance included diversified pharmaceutical company Pfizer, Inc. The stock generated a solid return as management has become more aggressive with restructuring and cost cutting. Pfizer also opened the door to possible spin-offs or sales of some business units, such as nutritionals and animal health.

Stock selection in the health care sector detracted from performance, primarily due to owning specialty drug maker Hospira. The company was hindered by production issues at manufacturing facilities and we sold the stock from our portion of the Portfolio when those issues appeared to be ongoing rather than resolved. Stock selection in consumer staples also hurt performance, largely due to owning Procter & Gamble, which lagged the sector, as did stock selection in consumer durables, given the poor performance of auto parts manufacturer Johnson Controls, Inc. We still think its battery, building efficiency and automotive businesses are well-positioned, particularly with respect to its exposure in China. Other detractors from performance included an underweight to the utilities sector, and a position in MetLife, Inc., which underperformed when prospects for an extended period of low interest rates hurt its earnings outlook. We still own the stock, as we believe MetLife is attractively valued and can manage the low rate environment for several years with little impact on its earnings.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Westwood

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to security selection in the health care, utilities and financials sectors. From a sector allocation perspective, overweights in health care and information technology, as well as an underweight in financials, also contributed to performance versus the benchmark.

Investor tolerance for risk was often low during the reporting period. Against this backdrop, fear and volatility generally caused investors to favor companies with stable revenue sources, which typically performed the best. Consumer staples, health care and other defensive sectors such as utilities performed well as investors sought relative safety in the challenging environment. Holdings in these sectors, such as Pfizer, Inc., CVS Caremark Corp. and Sempra Energy, all performed well. Our information technology exposure was beneficial, as many of our holdings posted strong absolute returns, driven by strong earnings and good operating results. Our financials stocks, overall, also added to performance, as they posted better returns than those in the benchmark.

On the downside, our portion of the Portfolio was hurt by security selection in the energy and consumer staples sectors. A number of our energy companies underperformed the benchmark, including Newfield Exploration, which disappointed investors with its production numbers. We eliminated the holding from our portion of the Portfolio, given a change in our outlook for the company. In particular, we felt the company may have more

Other key metrics it considers are return on equity, debt/equity ratio and, in the case of common equities, positive earnings surprises without a corresponding increase in Wall Street estimates.

Westwood has disciplines in place that serve as sell signals, such as a security reaching a pre-determined price target or a change to a company's fundamentals that negatively impacts the original investment thesis.

Pzena follows a disciplined investment process to implement its value philosophy, focusing exclusively on companies that are underperforming their historically demonstrated earnings power. Pzena applies intensive fundamental research to these companies in an effort to determine whether the problems that caused the earnings shortfall are temporary or permanent. The research process incorporates perspectives on valuation, earnings, management strategy, and downside protection.

difficulty than anticipated in utilizing its assets efficiently. Elsewhere, while our holdings in the financials sector benefited results overall, several holdings detracted from results. In particular, owning Bank of America Corp. was detrimental for results, as its shares fell sharply as investors priced in worst-case scenarios for the company.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Pzena

Like the equity market as a whole, our portion of the Portfolio experienced significant volatility during the reporting period. Against this backdrop, we underperformed the benchmark. This was driven mainly by stock selection in the information technology sector, where Hewlett Packard and Computer Sciences Corp. performed poorly. Despite near-term challenges, we added to both positions on the strength of their core businesses and long-term earnings prospects. Our holdings in producer durables and financial services also detracted from results, as investors shunned economically sensitive sectors in favor of stability and dividend yield. Although this detracted from performance during the period, it created a significant opportunity to purchase shares of cyclical businesses with leading industry positions, solid balance sheets, high free cash flow yields and attractive valuations. Conversely, we sold most of our holdings in the health care sector, which performed well in the risk-averse environment, to pursue what we viewed to be more attractively valued opportunities in a variety of cyclical areas.

On the upside, building products suppliers were significant contributors to performance, as activity in multi-family construction picked up. The Sherwin-Williams Co. (paints and coatings), Masco Corp. (plumbing and cabinetry) and PPG Industries, Inc. (paints and coatings) all were top contributors. The retailer J.C. Penney was the largest contributor to performance, as the company named a new Chief Executive Officer and laid out plans to revitalize its brand. Investors welcomed the news, and bid J.C. Penney's stock price to our estimate of fair value, resulting in the sale of the position in our portion of the Portfolio.

Consistent with the opportunity we see in good cyclical businesses, our largest individual company exposures are in information technology, consumer discretionary and integrated energy. Although financial services is our largest sector exposure, it consists of a what we believe is a diverse set of businesses in insurance, banking, wealth management, investment banking and processing companies. Many of our financial positions are limited in size due to their inherently leveraged nature, yet we believe that their deeply discounted valuations provide some of our most significant excess return potential. Our portion of the Portfolio currently trades at what we view to be very attractive valuations: 6.5 times our estimate of normalized earnings, which is near the most attractive point in our 16-year history as a manager.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation and dividend income and who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (7.81)%; 5-year period, (3.35)%; 10-year period, 2.73%; Class B—1-year period, (8.13)%; 5-year period, (3.44)%; 10-year period, 2.79%; Class C—1-year period, (4.24)%; 5-year period, (3.05)%; 10-year period, 2.50%; Class Y—1-year period, (2.20)%; 5-year period, (1.95)%; 10-year period, 3.65%; Class P—1-year period, (4.20)%; 5-year period, (3.97)%; 10-year period, 1.51%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.17% and 1.17%; Class B—2.34% and 2.02%; Class C—1.96% and 1.96%; Class Y—0.94% and 0.94%; and Class P—0.93% and 0.93%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.27%; Class B—2.02%; Class C—2.02%; Class Y—1.02% and Class P—1.02%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The Russell 1000 Value Index is designed to measure the performance of the large-cap value segment of the US equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The Russell 1000 Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap value segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares declined 0.11% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares declined 1.11% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the "benchmark") returned 2.84%, and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category posted a median decline of 0.21%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 102.

Sub-Advisors' comments1

Wellington Management

Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, due primarily to stock selection. Sector allocation, a residual of our bottom-up stock selection process, had a modest positive impact on results.

Stock selection within the information technology, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors detracted the most from performance during the period. Within the information technology sector, our position in Acme Packet was the largest detractor, as the stock performed poorly following a slightly disappointing earnings announcement. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., a specialty coffee and coffee maker business best known for its Keurig single-cup brewing systems, was the main driver of underperformance in the consumer staples sector. Green Mountain Coffee's share price fell sharply after revenue and earnings fell short of expectations. There were also concerns surrounding the company's disclosure regarding a looming patent issue and a "litany of accounting questions." The company's shares rallied somewhat in the last month of the period after Starbucks Corp. announced K-cup demand was running ahead of expectations. In the consumer discretionary sector, our position in Abercrombie & Fitch Co., a specialty retailer of casual sportswear apparel, weighed on results after it reported that same store sales turned modestly negative in its European flagship outlets.

Capital appreciation.

Investment process:

Wellington Management applies in-depth fundamental research in its effort to identify corporate change early, differentiate sustainable growth opportunities from short-lived events, identify superior business models, and develop strict valuation parameters for the companies it evaluates. Wellington's strategy is focused on investing in companies that appear well-positioned to benefit from long-lasting trends and that have structural advantages to maintaining their position.

Marsico uses an approach that combines top-down macro-economic analysis with bottom-up stock selection. It considers macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation, demographics, the regulatory environment and the global competitive environment. It then seeks to identify companies with earnings growth potential that may not be recognized by the

Conversely, we experienced positive results from our holdings in the health care sector. In particular, our position in Edwards Lifesciences Corp., a cardiovascular medical device company, contributed to performance, as it announced that initial trials of its new heart valve yielded positive results. A new position in Gilead Sciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, also contributed to performance when its share price advanced following the completion of its acquisition of biotechnology company Pharmasset. In terms of sector allocation, an overweight to information technology and an underweight to energy contributed to relative results.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Marsico

Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, due primarily to stock selection. Notably, our holdings and an underweight position to the information technology sector were the primary detractors from results in comparison to the benchmark. While our information technology stocks generated an overall positive return, they significantly underperformed the sector return in the benchmark. In particular, positions in Baidu, Inc., Oracle Corp., and Accenture PLC were laggards. We sold Oracle, in part, due to our concerns that enterprise technology spending may weaken. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector was another source of underperformance and positions in Wynn Resorts Ltd., Amazon.com, Inc. and priceline.com, Inc. were material detractors. We sold Amazon.com in favor of investments that we believe offer better earnings visibility.

Stock selection in the industrials sector was an area of strength in our portion of the Portfolio. Positions in Goodrich Corp. (sold to capture profits during the period) and Union Pacific Corp. added to results. Other individual contributors included Starbucks Corp., Visa, Inc., Apple, Inc., Kinder Morgan, Inc., Biogen Idec, Inc., Dollar General Corp. and Monsanto Co.

As of January 31, 2012, our portion of the Portfolio maintained overweights versus the benchmark in the consumer discretionary, materials and financials sectors, while it had underweights in the information technology, consumer staples and health care sectors. Our most significant economic sector allocations were in the consumer discretionary, information technology, industrials and energy sectors. At period-end, the Portfolio had no exposure to the telecommunication services or utilities sectors.

market at large. Marsico's stock selection process may focus on factors such as market expertise or dominance, franchise durability and pricing power, solid company fundamentals, as well as strong management and reasonable valuations.

Delaware invests primarily in common stocks of large capitalization growth-oriented companies that Delaware believes have long-term capital appreciation potential and are expected to grow faster than the US economy. Using a bottom-up approach, Delaware seeks to select securities of companies that it believes have attractive large end-market potential, dominant business models and strong free cash flow generation that are attractively priced compared to the intrinsic value of the securities. Delaware also considers a company's operational efficiencies, management's plans for capital allocation and the company's shareholder orientation.

Roxbury employs a bottom-up approach to stock selection, seeking high quality growth companies whose stocks are trading at discounts to fair value. Roxbury looks for companies with sustainable competitive advantages and opportunities to grow and reinvest capital at higher rates than their cost of capital. Roxbury also seeks to invest in companies with management teams with a proven ability to allocate capital in ways that maximize shareholder value. Roxbury's investment approach seeks to balance both the protection of capital as well as the appreciation potential of a stock.

Delaware

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection, particularly in the information technology and financials sectors, combined with an underweight in the energy sector, drove our outperformance.

In terms of individual holdings, top contributors to results included Visa, Inc., MasterCard, Inc., Intuit, Inc. and VeriSign, Inc. Visa and MasterCard benefited from a decreased level of controversy, as the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") released its final recommendations for debit card interchange rates and network exclusivity rules late in the second quarter of 2011. These rules were more favorable than the Fed's original recommendations made in December 2010. The original recommendations, combined with increased government scrutiny over the credit card networks as a result of the financial overhaul legislation, had weighed on these stocks during the past year. With the release of the Fed's final recommendations, we believe that many of the key elements of uncertainty have become clearer and investors have returned to focusing on the companies' fundamentals, which we feel are stronger than ever.

Individual holdings that detracted from performance included Ctrip.com International Ltd., CME Group, Inc. and Polycom, Inc. During the fourth quarter of 2011, Ctrip.com reported disappointing earnings and earnings guidance for the near term, due to its response to a competitor's aggressive pricing tactics in the hotel booking business. While this competitive response is expected to hurt Ctrip.com's margins in the short term, we agree with company management that taking a near-term decrease in margin is worth the ultimate goal of potentially driving smaller, more promotional competitors out of the business. In our opinion, Ctrip.com has the size, competitive position and balance sheet strength to outlast these types of pricing strategies. Ultimately, we feel this will give way to more rational pricing decisions in the industry. As a result, we continue to own the stock.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Roxbury

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. All sectors within our portion of the Portfolio posted positive returns for the period, with the largest contributors coming from our holdings in the industrials and energy sectors.

Within industrials, owning Goodrich was rewarded, as United Technologies Corp. moved to acquire the company given the former's high returns on capital, exposure to the commercial after-market and strong management. Furthermore, Goodrich was trading at a significant discount to its value. Despite its strong return, we sold Goodrich after United Technologies Corp.'s acquisition. In the energy sector, having an underweight exposure and owning strong performers such as Occidental Petroleum Corp. were rewarded. Occidental Petroleum's share price moved higher as investors were drawn to the company's pristine balance sheet, diversified revenues and annuitized income stream. These characteristics were in demand from investors who favored high quality businesses that were also trading at discounts to their intrinsic value.

Relative detractors from performance during the period included our modest overweight in the consumer staples sector. Stock selection in the information technology sector was also a detractor from results, including our holdings in NetApp, Inc. and Oracle Corp. Nevertheless, these negatives had a small impact on our overall performance.

The philosophy and process employed by our team has led to certain sector weight differentials versus the benchmark. We currently have an underweight to the energy sector, as we prefer to own companies that we view to have competitive advantages, pricing power and high barriers to entry. In contrast, we are avoiding oil service companies, as there is severe pricing competition in the industry. Health care is a significant underweight in our portion of the Portfolio, given continued concerns and uncertainty with the current administration's health care plan. In addition, large pharmaceutical companies seem to be purchasing smaller companies to fill their pipelines at unreasonable valuations. Lastly, industrials are overweight, as we were able to purchase companies with high barriers to entry and high returns on capital at historically low prices during the August market selloff.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. Also, to the extent the Portfolio invests a large portion of its assets in a particular sector, the Portfolio may experience greater volatility and risk of loss due to unfavorable developments in that sector. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (6.70)%; 5-year period, (0.53)%; 10-year period, 0.80%; Class B—1-year period, (7.03)%; 5-year period, (0.62)%; 10-year period, 0.85%; Class C—1-year period, (3.11)%; 5-year period, (0.23)%; 10-year period, 0.55%; Class Y—1-year period, (1.04)%; 5-year period, 0.94%; 10-year period, 1.74%; Class P—1-year period, (2.98)%; 5-year period, (1.12)%; 10-year period, (0.35)%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.23% and 1.23%; Class B—2.34% and 2.05%; Class C—2.07% and 2.05%; Class Y—0.99% and 0.99%; and Class P—0.97% and 0.97%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.30%; Class B—2.05%; Class C—2.05%; Class Y—1.05% and Class P—1.05%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

7  The Russell 1000 Growth Index is designed to measure the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the US equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap growth segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares declined 2.34% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares declined 3.31% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Russell 2500 Value Index (the "benchmark") was flat over the period (returning less than 0.005%), and the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds category posted a median return of 0.61%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 111.

Sub-Advisors' comments1

Please note: On March 6, 2012, following period end, Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC ("KAR") began serving as a fourth subadvisor for this Fund.

MetWest Capital

In environments where equity correlations run high, it is difficult for active managers to outperform. This was the case during the six months ended January 31, 2012, and our portion of the Portfolio meaningfully underperformed the benchmark.

In particular, security selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors detracted from performance. From a sector allocation perspective, an overweight in consumer discretionary and an underweight in financials—the latter being the second-best performer within the benchmark—were not rewarded. All sector over- and underweights relative to the benchmark result from bottom-up stock selection, rather than tactical allocation decisions.

Home health care and hospice service provider Amedisys, Inc. was our principal detractor from performance. Though this industry leader still stands to benefit from future industry consolidation, we sold the stock as we saw no credible earnings recovery path for the home health care industry within our investment horizon. In hindsight, we grossly

Capital appreciation.

Investment process:

MetWest Capital utilizes a bottom-up, fundamental, research-driven style that it believes is well suited to the small cap market segment. MetWest Capital seeks to identify high-quality companies selling below intrinsic value with clear catalysts to realize full value within its investment time horizon and constructs a portfolio of its highest conviction ideas.

Buckhead utilizes a fundamental, bottom-up, research-driven investment style and a disciplined investment process that is designed to identify companies that it believes are attractively valued, have strong underlying fundamental characteristics and are likely to have one or more catalysts that are expected to drive their share prices higher. Buckhead seeks to build concentrated portfolios with the largest positions in those companies that it believes have the highest likelihood of outperforming the market and/or the Portfolio's benchmark.

underestimated the impact of industry-wide regulatory changes on the company's earnings. Elsewhere, educational supplies and instructional materials provider School Specialty, Inc. was the largest detractor from returns in the consumer discretionary sector. Several factors contributed to the stock price's precipitous decline, including school budget cuts, weakness in its high-margin curricula business, tax-loss selling and a large shareholder selling a partial position. However, at seven times the size of its nearest competitor, School Specialty remains the dominant player in a vital industry. As always, we remain vigilant in monitoring this business.

Stock selection was strongest in the energy and information technology sectors. An underweight in the worst-performing energy sector further augmented relative performance during the reporting period. Within the energy sector, Texas-based oil exploration and production company Oasis Petroleum Inc. was among the top contributors. Although held for a relatively short time, the company's stock price propelled toward our price target on news of consolidation in the industry. Therefore, we sold the holding of Oasis Petroleum in our portion of the Portfolio in favor of other investment opportunities that we believe have greater upside potential. Within information technology, Jabil Circuit, Inc., a provider of electronic manufacturing services and solutions, added the most value.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Buckhead

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, largely driven by positive stock selection. In contrast, sector allocation was a modest detractor from results.

Our portion of the Portfolio benefited from positive stock selection across a number of sectors. Technology holdings like SYNNEX Corp., Jabil Circuit, Inc. and Plexus Corp. enhanced our results as all three firms either increased their guidance or announced better-than-expected results. Among our energy holdings, Rex Energy performed well as it continued to forecast strong natural gas production from its wells in the Appalachian Basin and the Marcellus Shale. We elected to take profits in the position following the stock's price increase. In financials, Raymond James Financial, Inc. performed well as it announced the acquisition of Morgan Keegan, thus increasing its brokerage sales force. East West Bancorp, Inc. continued to generate solid results as its strong capital position allowed it to capture market share from weaker regional and national banks. Elsewhere, in consumer discretionary stocks, Newell Rubbermaid, Inc. enhanced our results as a new management team began to implement needed restructuring plans. Coinstar, Inc. added to results as its Redbox DVD kiosk division continued to perform well.

While our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark, certain holdings detracted from performance during the reporting period. American Greetings Corp. declined on news of a new competitive threat, as well as a shortfall in earnings. We reduced our position and continue to monitor this situation. Meritor, Inc., a manufacturer of automobile components, declined given concerns over slowing international demand for Class 8 truck

Investment process (concluded)

Systematic employs a two-pronged investment approach that utilizes both quantitative screening and fundamental research. Systematic's investment philosophy is predicated on its belief that stock prices reflect the market's estimates of earnings, and as revisions to those estimates are made by the market, stock prices will follow suit.

Systematic conducts a quantitative screening of all companies within the small/mid capitalization universe, and then uses fundamental research analysis to gauge investor expectations by focusing on key revenue and margin assumptions underlying earnings estimates.

components. We believe that the stock's decline is overdone and does not accurately reflect the long term secular growth opportunity in Class 8 truck production.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Systematic

Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Our bottom-up focus on company fundamentals led us to construct a generally pro-cyclical portfolio. While deviations in our sector weightings were modest relative to the benchmark, our individual stock selection tended to focus on companies leveraged to a sustained economic recovery (so-called high-beta stocks). This was a negative given the temporary macroeconomic deceleration early in the reporting period, coupled with the volatile situation in Europe and its effect on investor sentiment.

From a performance attribution standpoint, stock selection was the primary reason for our underperformance. Our stock selection in the materials, financial and information technology sectors detracted most significantly from results. One security that performed poorly during the reporting period was First Niagara Financial Group. While it has been one of the best-performing banks in the US in recent years, in our opinion, First Niagara's pending acquisition of HSBC's upstate New York bank branches is a strategic mistake. We believe that First Niagara's decision to fund the deal with the eventual sale of its stock at depressed prices could make the deal dilutive to earnings. As such, we sold our shares in late 2011 and repositioned the proceeds in other opportunities. Conversely, stock selection in the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors provided the largest boost to relative results. A top contributor was American Water Works, Co., Inc. During the reporting period, the company's earnings releases exceeded Wall Street's expectations with better than expected operating margins. We believe continued earnings upside remains, as the company increases its overall return on equity, reduces regulatory lag to capture higher rates and benefits from higher usage as the economy recovers.

Our sector allocations, in aggregate, also detracted from relative results. Our overweight to the energy sector was the largest detractor. This was partially offset by our underweight to the telecommunication services sector, which helped our relative results.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies are typically subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger, more established companies. Therefore, they are considered to have a higher level of volatility and risk.

The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The Russell 2500 Value Index is designed to measure the performance of the small to mid-cap value segment of the US equity universe. It includes those Russell 2500 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 2500 Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the small to mid-cap value market. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small to mid-cap opportunity set and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

8  On May 13, 2011, Lipper changed the peer group classification for PACE Small/Medium Co Value Equity Investments from the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds category to the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds category.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares declined 2.33% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares declined 3.31% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Russell 2500 Growth Index (the "benchmark") returned 0.04%, and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds category posted a median decline of 1.67%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 120. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.

Sub-Advisor's comments1

Copper Rock

Our portion of the Portfolio significantly underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to a highly abnormal set of circumstances. These included a sharp market decline in the third quarter of 2011, followed by an extreme reversal of the markets in October, which led to all-time high correlations.

A large portion of our underperformance was caused by stock disappointments, as the poor results from several of our holdings were exacerbated by the market's downturn in the fall of 2011. Examples of these stocks include Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. and Cooper Companies, Inc. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters first made headlines when a hedge fund manager questioned accounting practices that had already been resolved and, later, the company missed its fourth quarter sales expectations. We eventually exited the position. Cooper Companies, a global medical device company, was overly punished in October when a recall of one of its lens products, which accounted for less than 1% of sales, spread to a limited recall on a product line totaling close to 20% of sales. Upon confirmation from management that the manufacturing concerns were resolved and good visibility that the underlying growth prospects remained strong, we added to the position.

Significant contributors to performance represented a swath of sectors, led by Success Factors (information technology), whose share price rose after the announcement that it would be acquired by SAP. We exited the position in December of 2011. Within the health care sector, our position in HMS Holdings Corp. benefited from the company's acquisition of Health Data Insights, one of four primary companies involved in Medicare cost containment. Within the industrials sector, our positions in Roper Industries, Inc. and WESCO International, Inc. contributed to performance, thanks to strong quarterly earnings.

It has been crucially important to remain patient with our execution and move forward with our "fundamentals first" approach to identify what we believe are great growth stocks that should deliver superior earnings growth. We are already witnessing a recovering US economy, coupled with more positive leading indicators. Though challenges still exist in light of the political rhetoric and the upcoming election, we believe that the macro headwinds will eventually subside, and that investors will become more encouraged to focus on fundamentals, rather than sentiment, to drive stock returns.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Riverbridge

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Positively contributing to results was stock selection in the information technology sector. Specifically, Ultimate Software Group and Semtech Corp. both generated strong returns over the reporting period. Additionally, our portion of the Portfolio's underweight to the underperforming energy sector helped to boost relative performance, as it was the worst performing sector in the benchmark. Detracting from performance was stock selection within the health care sector. Two companies in particular, IPC the Hospitalist Co. and Neogen Corp., struggled during the reporting period.

Over entire market cycles, we are confident in our portion of the Portfolio, due to the strength of its underlying companies. Our holdings, featuring companies with robust cash flow, tend to possess healthy balance sheets with low levels of debt and strong cash positions. Our companies are not dependent on borrowing money to finance their future growth. They also command dominant market shares and strong barriers to entry, which makes it more difficult for competitors to erode their market share. We are capitalizing on the emotional gyrations of the market by owning high quality companies at what we believe are very attractive valuations.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Palisade

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Our best performing sectors were consumer discretionary and materials. Within consumer discretionary, strong performers included Wyndham Worldwide Corp., Pier 1 Imports, Inc. and Scientific Games Corp. We have slightly trimmed our weighting in these stocks given their strong performance. Within materials, standouts were Kraton Performance Polymers, Inc. and Solutia, Inc., the latter of which is being acquired by Eastman Chemical. Mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") continue to be beneficial to our results, as acquisitions of Pharmasset, Inhibitex and SuccessFactors were also announced during the period. We have since sold our positions in these companies (we exited our position in Inhibitex after period end).

Investment process (concluded)

Riverbridge believes that earnings power determines the value of a franchise. Riverbridge focuses on companies that are viewed as building their earnings power and building the intrinsic value of the company over long periods of time. Riverbridge looks to invest in high-quality growth companies that demonstrate the ability to sustain strong secular earnings growth, regardless of overall economic conditions.

Palisade seeks fundamentally strong and dynamic small- and mid-cap companies that are trading at a discount to their growth rates. Palisade's goal is to ascertain a dynamic of change before it manifests in consensus estimates. Palisade believes that the small- and mid-cap market is inherently less efficient than the large-cap market, and attempts to gain an information advantage through fundamental research.

Financials and consumer staples were our worst-performing sectors. Our underperformance in these sectors was mainly due to our exposures to MF Global and Diamond Foods, respectively. We sold MF Global after the company reported weak third quarter results and before the company declared bankruptcy. We sold Diamond Foods after a controversy over walnut payments was revealed, but before the stock fell further upon disclosure of a Securities and Exchange Commission probe. Other detractors included Acme Packet, Inc., Dendreon and Rovi, as all three companies reported weak results. We sold Dendreon and Rovi, but maintained our position in Acme Packet, as we believe its leadership position in Session Board Control will enable it to resume its growth trajectory.

The US equity market continues to look attractive relative to other equity markets. We believe small companies look particularly attractive in this environment, as they generally have less exposure overseas. As evidenced by the recent takeouts in our portion of the Portfolio, we remain confident in our ability to identify dynamic growth companies. M&A activity is likely to remain a theme in 2012. Despite what will likely continue to be a volatile market, we remain focused on our research process and stock picking.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies are typically subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger, more established companies. Therefore, they are considered to have a higher level of volatility and risk. Also, to the extent the Portfolio invests a large portion of its assets in a particular sector, the Portfolio may experience greater volatility and risk of loss due to unfavorable developments in that sector.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (7.55)%; 5-year period, 1.58%; 10-year period, 3.91%; Class B—1-year period, (7.85)%; 5-year period, 1.58%; 10-year period, 3.95%; Class C—1-year period, (3.88)%; 5-year period, 1.94%; 10-year period, 3.68% ; Class Y—1-year period, (1.98)%; 5-year period, 3.03%; 10-year period, 4.82% ; Class P—1-year period, (3.94)%; 5-year period, 0.90%; 10-year period, 2.66%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.28% and 1.28%; Class B—2.74% and 2.13%; Class C—2.05% and 2.05%; Class Y—1.08% and 1.08%; and Class P—1.16% 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 Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.38%; Class B—2.13%; Class C—2.13%; Class Y—1.13%; and Class P—1.13%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The Russell 2500 Growth Index is designed to measure the performance of the small to mid-cap growth segment of the US equity universe. It includes those Russell 2500 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2500 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the small to mid-cap growth market. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small to mid-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.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares declined 10.08% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares declined 10.98% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.)

Sub-Advisors' comments1

Martin Currie

Our portion of the Portfolio modestly underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. At a regional level, the main detractor from performance was our exposure to stocks in Asia ex-Japan. Our holdings in Japan were also a slight drag on results. Our allocation to Europe was the largest contributor to results, due to strong stock selection. Our allocation to emerging markets equities also benefited performance.

From a sector perspective, consumer staples was the weakest area of our portion of the Portfolio (in both relative and absolute terms), followed by financials and industrials. In contrast, stock selection was the strongest in the information technology sector, where our holdings generated a positive absolute return versus a sharp decline in the market. Stock selection in materials and telecommunications services was also beneficial during the reporting period.

In terms of individual stocks, the largest negative contributor was Russian grocery operator X5 Retail Group N.V. Its shares performed poorly as the Russian market slumped toward the end of 2011. Daimler AG, a German luxury-car and truck manufacturer, was another large detractor from results, as investor risk appetite evaporated in the third quarter. Against this backdrop, many such high-quality stocks in the more

Capital appreciation.

Investment process:

Martin Currie has a highly active "conviction" approach, seeking the best opportunities for growth across global stock markets. Martin Currie identifies change as the central dynamic behind stock price movement. This means recognizing change at the company level (management changes, product strategies, acquisitions, etc.) and at the macro level (legislative changes, economic prospects, sector dynamics, etc.). Martin Currie believes its investment process allows it to identify, evaluate and exploit change at an early stage. In managing its segment of the Portfolio's assets, Martin Currie uses a fully integrated international investment process. So rather than running distinct regional portfolios, it compares and ranks stock opportunities across the whole investment universe. To help identify and evaluate the best stock ideas, Martin Currie employs fundamental company and sector research, together with its own proprietary quantitative screening tool.

economically sensitive sectors fell sharply. Elsewhere, after many months of strong performance, Macao casino-operator SJM Holdings Ltd. was hit by profit taking, coinciding with concerns about tightening credit in China.

On the positive side, our portion of the Portfolio benefited from its exposure to some of the world's best high-growth information technology companies. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. was the top contributor, boosted by successful product launches and strong profitability. Elsewhere, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, an integrated oil company, was another strong performer, as ongoing supply worries in the Middle East kept the price of oil relatively high. Tim Participacoes SA, a Brazilian mobile telecommunication operator, also performed well during the reporting period. The company continued to benefit from subscriber growth, but without the drag of falling revenues from a fixed-line offering.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Mondrian

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Country allocation, currency contribution and stock selection were all positive for results over the six months ended January 31, 2012. In particular, underweight positions in Germany and Japan added to returns relative to the benchmark. This was partially offset, however, by overweight positions in France and Italy.

Stock selection within countries was the leading cause of our comparative outperformance. This was driven by strong stock selection in Japan, the UK and Italy. At the sector level, an overweight in the health care sector and an underweight in the materials sector were both beneficial for relative results. Stock selection within sectors was also positive for returns, and in particular stock selection in the energy and information technology sectors.

Among our best performing stocks were major oil companies BP, Royal Dutch Shell and ENI S.p.A. All three performed well as the price of oil rose during the period. Dutch food retailer Koninklijke Ahold N.V. also generated strong results following the announcements of a cost savings program and a dividend hike. Conversely, Singaporean bank UOB performed poorly as increased property taxes weighed on the domestic housing market. Another poor performer was Japanese insurance company Tokyo Marine Holdings, Inc. Its share price declined

Mondrian conducts research on a global basis in an effort to identify securities that have the potential for capital appreciation over a market cycle. The center of its research effort is a value-oriented dividend discount methodology toward individual securities and market analysis that attempts to identify value across country boundaries. This approach focuses on future anticipated dividends, and discounts the value of those dividends back to what they would be worth if they were being paid today. Comparisons of the values of different possible investments are then made. In an international portfolio, currency returns can be an integral component of an investment's total return. Mondrian uses a purchasing power parity approach to assess the value of individual currencies. Purchasing power parity attempts to identify the amount of goods and services that a dollar will buy in the United States, and compares that to the amount of a foreign currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in another country.

J.P. Morgan manages two separate segments of the Portfolio's assets, utilizing distinct principal investment strategies and portfolio management for each. In managing one segment of the Portfolio's assets, the International Research Enhanced Index Strategy segment ("International REI" segment), J.P. Morgan uses a bottom-up, research driven strategy that seeks to generate risk characteristics that closely match those of the Portfolio's benchmark yet at the same time capitalize on the information advantage created by the firm's proprietary research capabilities to generate outperformance. The strategy is driven by valuation based fundamental analysis, focused on normalized earnings

due to concerns that damage caused by the floods in Thailand could lead to an increased number of claims.

The main strategies we expect to employ in our portion of the Portfolio going forward are an overweight in select European markets, an overweight in the telecommunications services, energy and health care sectors, an underweight in the materials and industrials sectors, and a defensive currency hedge out of the Australian dollar.

During the reporting period, we utilized defensive forward currency contracts to manage our currency exposures. As of January 31, 2012, we were hedging 70% of our Australian dollar exposure. Additionally, for the majority of the reporting period, we had a hedge on the Swiss franc in place. We chose to hedge these currencies as our analysis showed that they were significantly overvalued, and we sought to protect the value of the underlying investments in these markets. During the period, both of these defensive currency hedges added positively to the performance of our portion of the Portfolio.

J.P. Morgan (International REI)

Our portion of the Portfolio modestly outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period.

At the sector level, stock selection in transport services, consumer cyclicals and property were the largest contributors to performance, while basic industries and energy detracted from results. Regionally, stock selection in Japan aided results, while the Pacific Rim was the sole detractor.

At the stock level, Japan Tobacco, Inc. was a contributor to results as tobacco stocks in general have fared well. While fears of a double-dip recession drove down the broader market, it prompted investors to flee into less economically-sensitive stocks. In addition to the non-cyclical nature of the company's business, tobacco companies have strong pricing power and generate significant free cash. Additionally, Japan Tobacco is raising prices and gaining share in a number of overseas markets, including Russia. As part of its ongoing bid to reduce its dependence on the Japanese market, Japan Tobacco recently agreed to purchase Haggar Cigarette in the Sudan, as part of the company's push to increase its presence in emerging markets.

On the downside, KBC Group, a Belgian bank, which we have since sold, was a detractor stemming from the ongoing Eurozone sovereign debt crisis. Additionally, the company reported a wider-than-expected EUR1.58 billion loss during the third quarter of 2011, its largest quarterly loss in two and a half years. This occurred as its structured credit investments performed poorly, and Irish loan-loss provisions mounted. Bad loans in Ireland, combined with losses on disposals, threaten management's plans to pay back EUR7 billion worth of state aid without having to sell additional shares. This prompted KBC Group to step up efforts to shrink its balance sheet.

and earnings growth. The J.P. Morgan team seeks to maintain regional weights and sector/industry weights close to those of the benchmark. Stock selection is the focus, being the expected primary source of added value.

In managing the second segment of the Portfolio's assets, the Europe, Australasia, and Far East Opportunities Strategy segment ("EAFE Opportunities" segment), J.P. Morgan uses an active equity strategy, which represents a partnership between portfolio management and the firm's proprietary network of analysts. J.P. Morgan applies a uniform valuation methodology across regions and sectors, and analysts conduct thorough analysis with a particular emphasis on a company's normalized (or mid-cycle) earnings and their intermediate growth rate. J.P. Morgan typically focuses on the most attractive companies, within a sector, that possess a catalyst for share price appreciation in an effort to build a portfolio where stock selection is the primary source of added value.

Currency forwards are used in our portion of the Portfolio to reduce currency deviations from the benchmark as a means of risk management. Additionally, equity traded futures were used for the sole purpose of managing cash flows more efficiently. We do not seek to add value via active currency management.

J.P. Morgan (EAFE Opportunities)

Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. At the sector level, stock selection in banks, finance and basic industries were the largest detractors from performance, while stock selection in transport services, consumer cyclicals and technology were the largest contributors. Regional allocation is a residual effect of stock selection opportunities. Stock selection in Japan was the largest detractor for the period, while stock selection in emerging markets was beneficial for results.

At the stock level, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, a Swedish manufacturer of telecommunication equipment, was a detractor from performance. The company reported a 74% drop in fourth quarter 2011 net profits, due to a combination of more cautious spending by US carriers, losses at its joint ventures (Sony Ericsson and ST Ericsson) and an unfavorable shift in its business mix. Management also cautioned that operators will likely continue to spend cautiously in the short term, due to ongoing macro economic and political uncertainty. On the upside, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a Korean maker of memory chips, smart phones and consumer electronics, was the largest contributor to results. The stock price has been on the rise since the late summer of 2011, when Steve Jobs relinquished his role as Chief Executive Officer at Apple. This triggered speculation that Samsung would be able to make up ground against its US rival. In addition, Samsung has seen strong sales of its Galaxy line of smartphones, which has offset weakness in its dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and display business. DRAM prices have fallen sharply as demand for PCs has waned. However, being one of the lowest cost DRAM producers, Samsung is one of only a few companies that can still operate profitably under current conditions, whereas other producers have been forced to scale back production.

Currency forwards were used in our portion of the Portfolio to reduce currency deviations from the benchmark as a means of risk management. Additionally, equity traded futures were used for the sole purpose of managing cash flows more efficiently. We do not seek to add value via active currency management. Overall, the use of these derivative instruments performed as expected during the reporting period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social, and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. These risks are greater for investments in emerging market issuers than for issuers in more developed countries.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (15.04)%; 5-year period, (7.22)%; 10-year period, 2.90%; Class B—1-year period, (15.20)%; 5-year period, (7.37)%; 10-year period, 2.88%; Class C—1-year period, (11.65)%; 5-year period, (6.95)%; 10-year period, 2.63%; Class Y—1-year period, (9.82)%; 5-year period, (5.87)%; 10-year period, 3.85%; Class P—1-year period, (11.62)%; 5-year period, (7.80)%; 10-year period, 1.70%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.40% and 1.40%; Class B—3.50% and 2.30%; Class C—2.23% and 2.23%; Class Y—1.16% and 1.16%; and Class P—1.16% and 1.16%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.55%; Class B—2.30%; Class C—2.30%; Class Y—1.30%; and Class P—1.30%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

7  The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks from 22 countries designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Dividends are reinvested after the deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. 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.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Sub-Advisors' comments1

Mondrian

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection in China, Brazil and Korea were the primary drivers of our outperformance. In China, telecommunications company China Mobile Ltd., gas distributor China Gas Holdings Ltd., and brewer Beijing Enterprises Holdings Ltd. all contributed to relative results, as these defensive stocks held up well in a volatile period. Brazilian credit card transaction processors Cielo SA and Redecard SA both contributed substantially to returns as they performed well, as did defensive electric utility CPFL Energia SA and brewer Companhia de Bebidas das Americas (AmBev). Korean tobacco producer KT&G Corp. also performed well, as did Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. However, stock selection in Mexico modestly detracted from results, with shares of microfinance company Compartamos declining on strong, but below consensus, earnings figures. In Taiwan, weakness in handset manufacturer HTC Corp. was roughly offset by strength in semiconductor companies Taiwan Semiconductor and MediaTek, Inc. Elsewhere, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., the leading Philippine telecommunications company, boosted our returns, as the company demonstrated its defensive strength, posting a double-digit gain in a weak market. We eliminated KT&G and MediaTek during the reporting period, as they no longer offered sufficient upside to merit a place in our portion of the Portfolio.

Investment process:

Mondrian conducts research on a global basis in an effort to identify securities that have the potential for capital appreciation over a market cycle. The center of its research effort is a value-oriented dividend discount methodology toward individual securities and market analysis that attempts to identify value across country boundaries. This approach focuses on future anticipated dividends, and discounts the value of those dividends back to what they would be worth if they were being paid today. Comparisons of the values of different possible investments are then made. In an international portfolio, currency returns can be an integral component of an investment's total return. Mondrian uses a

Overall, our country positioning modestly contributed to results. In particular, an overweight in Brazil and underweights in Taiwan, Russia and Korea were rewarded. In contrast, an overweight in China was somewhat detrimental, as was our underweight in South Africa. From a sector perspective, an overweight in the defensive utilities sector and our underweight in materials aided relative returns. Conversely, an overweight in industrials slightly detracted from relative performance.

Our currency positioning was positive for results, despite an environment which saw many emerging market currencies performing very poorly versus the US dollar. The appreciation of the Chinese yuan and Peruvian sol, to which we were overweight versus the benchmark, aided returns relative to the benchmark, as did our underweight in South Africa's sharply depreciating rand. In contrast, an overweight in the weak Brazilian real was a minor detractor. Underweights to both the Taiwanese dollar and Malaysian ringgit were also slight negatives during the reporting period.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Delaware

Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period.

Within consumer staples, Avon Products, Inc.'s shares declined after reporting two quarters of weak earnings, and it was the focus of a US Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. However, the company's share price rallied toward the end of the period on news that the current Chief Executive Officer would be replaced. Despite the problems plaguing the company, we believe in its strong franchise and growth potential, particularly in emerging markets in Asia and Latin America.

Also, in the materials sector, soft pricing trends and concerns about slowing global growth negatively impacted the performance of fertilizer and agricultural chemical producer Israel Chemicals Ltd. We still have high conviction in the long-term fundamentals of the industry. We will continue to hold what we consider to be this global low-cost producer, as it trades at attractive valuations relative to its sector peers in both emerging and developed markets. Elsewhere, our underweight in the consumer discretionary sector also detracted from relative performance.

Investment process (continued)

purchasing power parity approach to assess the value of individual currencies. Purchasing power parity attempts to identify the amount of goods and services that a dollar will buy in the United States, and compares that to the amount of a foreign currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in another country.

Delaware selects growth-oriented and value-oriented investments on the basis of the investment's discount to its intrinsic value. When selecting growth-oriented securities, Delaware typically seeks high growth caused by long-term economic factors, which may include demographics, economic deregulation, and technological developments. When selecting value-oriented securities, Delaware typically seeks lower valuations caused by cyclical economic factors or temporary changes in business operations. Strong management and sustainable business franchise are key considerations in selecting both growth-oriented and value-oriented securities.

Pzena follows a disciplined investment process to implement its value philosophy. Pzena focuses exclusively on companies that are underperforming their historically demonstrated earnings power, and applies intensive fundamental research to these companies in an effort to determine whether the causes of the earnings shortfall are temporary or permanent. Pzena looks for companies where, in its opinion: (1) the current market price is low compared to the company's normalized earnings power; (2) current earnings are below historic norms; (3) the problems are temporary; (4) management has a viable strategy to generate earnings recovery; and/or (5) there

Though not enough to offset our slight underperformance, our overweight in the information technology sector contributed positively to performance during the period. In particular, shares of Yahoo!, Inc., the US based Internet company, rose sharply due to the increased likelihood of the company selling its Asian Internet assets. Information technology holdings HON HAI Precision Industry Co. Ltd. and United Microelectronics Corp. also contributed to performance. However, our holding in Chinese internet company SINA Corp. detracted from results in the sector. Its share price was caught in the downdraft that hit the entire sector, brought on by signs that the Chinese government will likely seek to implement tighter control over the Internet, and particularly social media websites.

Telecommunication services was also a positive performer during the period. Shares of Vodacom Group Ltd., South Africa's leading mobile telephony provider, rose given continued subscriber growth and the increasing contribution of data revenue. China Mobile Ltd. also contributed to results, due to its stable operating performance and inexpensive valuation.

Our portion of the Portfolio's positioning remains largely unchanged. Our largest sector overweights continue to be in the more traditionally defensive consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors. Conversely, we remain underweight in financials and the consumer discretionary sectors.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Pzena

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection in the information technology and materials sectors was a key driver of our outperformance. In contrast, our holdings in the consumer staples and financials sectors detracted from results. From a sector positioning perspective, our overweight in information technology and an underweight in materials were beneficial for relative performance. In terms of individual holdings, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a Korean technology company, was the largest contributor as its share price hit multi-year highs. This was due, in part, to a sharp increase in handset shipments. The company also completed various organizational moves meant to consolidate its core businesses. These included the merger of Samsung Electronics with Samsung LED, and the company's purchase of Sony's entire stake in their liquid crystal display (LCD) joint venture. Late in the period, the company forecast global handset sales to increase again in 2012, driven by smartphones.

The largest detractor in our portion of the Portfolio was Chinese consumer staples company, Chaoda Modern Agriculture Holdings Ltd. It performed poorly as the company was charged with insider trading and fraud—the former of which culminated in Chaoda's shares being suspended from the Hong Kong exchange. The company's lack of transparency had always led us to be cautious of the position and, as such, we had a limited position despite the stock's very attractive valuation. We continue to see opportunity in selected cyclical companies and,

William Blair invests in a portfolio of mid cap and large cap equity securities issued by companies in emerging markets worldwide, according to a quality growth philosophy. William Blair's primary focus is on identifying such companies whose growth characteristics (rate and durability) are underestimated by the market and supported by quality management and strong competitive positioning. After screening the universe of emerging country issuers for certain quality, growth and liquidity characteristics to create a prospective list of investible securities, William Blair undertakes detailed fundamental analysis of these companies, focusing attention on areas where short- to intermediate-term earnings trends and overall operating performance are improving or are strong. Key considerations are the sustainability of a company's competitive advantage relative to peers, its industry and market conditions, a sound financial structure and high reinvestment rates that combine to create favorable conditions for prospective growth.

therefore, recently added to our industrial and information technology exposures. In addition, the relative underperformance of India during the reporting period allowed us to slightly raise our weight in that country.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

William Blair

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. This was largely due to strong stock selection in the materials, utilities and energy sectors. In addition, a continued focus on consumer-oriented stocks was beneficial. Our portion of the Portfolio was bolstered by strong fundamental results and a higher weighting of auto-related companies, coupled with positive performance in specialty retail. An overweight position in consumer staples and an underweight in materials also aided returns in comparison to the benchmark. Stock selection was also strong within Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Latin America. Ecopetrol SA, a vertically integrated crude oil and natural gas company based in Latin America, was a positive contributor due to strong earnings growth. Despite the focus on geopolitical concerns within the developed markets, emerging markets were no safe haven during most of the reporting period. Dragging emerging markets equities lower were inflationary pressures that triggered monetary policy tightening across most emerging market countries. Furthermore, during the first few months of the period there were concerns about Chinese overinvestment and infrastructure overbuilding.

Poor stock selection in the information technology and telecommunication services sectors detracted from performance. Within information technology, HTC Corp., a maker of handheld smartphones and other devices, faced increased market competition, as its leading edge in the high-end model arena has been challenged by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. From a regional perspective, our performance was hindered by stock selection in emerging Asia. In addition, our exposure to financials, especially banks, was a drag on our results. For example, Turkiye Garanti Bankasi AS, the leading Turkish bank, hampered results due to concerns about increasing inflation and higher funding costs.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social, and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. These risks are greater for investments in emerging market issuers than for issuers in more developed countries.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (22.51)%; 5-year period, (0.45)%; 10-year period, 10.11%; Class B—1-year period, (22.71)%; 5-year period, (0.39)%; 10-year period, 10.15%; Class C—1-year period, (19.36)%; 5-year period, (0.06)%; 10-year period, 9.86%; Class Y—1-year period, (17.82)%; 5-year period, 1.01%; 10-year period, 11.10%; Class P—1-year period, (19.57)%; 5-year period, (1.28)%; 10-year period, 8.62%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.84% and 1.84%; Class B—2.64% and 2.64%; Class C—2.58% and 2.58%; Class Y—1.61% and 1.61%; and Class P—1.79% and 1.79%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—2.15%; Class B—2.90%; Class C—2.90%; Class Y—1.90%; and Class P—1.90%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Portfolio were converted into Class A shares of the same Portfolio and Class B shares were terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of companies representative of the market structure of 21 emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Basin. 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.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Sub-Advisors' comments1

CBRE Clarion

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Asset allocation added value over the six-month period, as we applied some "lessons learned," including a more measured view of macro-economic risks. Asset allocation was particularly effective via an underweight to the underperforming European region, plus favorable geographic allocation to the Asia-Pacific region. In the latter, our underweight to underperforming Hong Kong property companies added to our results versus the benchmark. Furthermore, value was added due to our overweight to the outperforming Australia market, where we emphasized the commercial sectors and were cautious on residential sectors. Our small cash position was also a boost to performance given the negative absolute returns of real estate stocks. A modest overweight to underperforming Japan detracted from comparative performance, as did a small underweight to the outperforming US.

Overall, our holdings in Europe were beneficial, where favorable stock selection was as much about avoiding underperformers as it was about investing in outperformers. Stock selection in the Asia-Pacific region was also rewarded. In particular, our positioning in Hong Kong added value, as we emphasized landlord-oriented business models over those more dependent on residential development activities. However, positive stock selection in the European and Asia-Pacific regions was more than offset by a negative contribution in North America, where our holdings in the US and Canada negatively contributed to results.

Our positioning remains cautious, but is marginally rotating to cyclical markets/property types. Portfolio positioning generally remains one of emphasizing companies that generate the majority of their income via stable, landlord-oriented cash flows in geographies and property types with favorable supply/demand dynamics. Regions and companies with above-average dividend yields, and companies that are likely to increase dividend payouts, remain important considerations in our stock selection process. Companies in geographies and property types that are more likely to benefit from improving economic conditions are increasingly being emphasized as the economic outlook improves. This would include, as an example, the lodging and apartment sectors in the US, as well as some of the

Investment process:

CBRE Clarion (formerly, ING Clarion Real Estate Securities) uses a multi-step investment process for constructing the investment portfolio. This process combines top-down region and sector allocation with bottom-up individual stock selection. First, CBRE Clarion selects property sectors and geographic regions in which to invest and determines the degree of representation of such sectors and regions, through a systematic evaluation of public and private real estate market trends and conditions. Second, CBRE Clarion uses a proprietary valuation process in an effort to identify investments with superior current income and growth potential relative to their peers.

traditional large development companies based in Asia. We remain underweight property companies in Europe, despite recent positive macro-economic news in the Eurozone. Additionally, we remain inclined to add to more cyclically-oriented companies in the US and Asia-Pacific regions.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Brookfield

Our portion of the Portfolio modestly underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Three primary concerns drove our top-down, macro investment decisions over the period: a possible European default, a potential US double-dip recession and the risk of a Chinese "hard landing" for its economy. Global real estate securities struggled against these various headwinds.

Our holdings in the Asia-Pacific region were the primary detractors from performance. This was driven by weak stock selection in Hong Kong and Singapore, coupled with an overweight to underperforming Japan. Our overweight exposures to Kerry Properties Ltd. (Hong Kong), Mitsui Fudosan Co. Ltd. (Japan) and CapitaLand Ltd. (Singapore) detracted from results. However, an overweight to Australia was a key contributing component at the country level, led by Westfield Group at the security level. While our European exposure was a negative for absolute results, we benefited on a relative basis by having an underweight to the lagging region.

Our holdings in North America, where we benefited from strong stock selection in both the US and Canada, positively contributed to results. However, an underweight to Canada detracted from results as compared to the benchmark. Beneficiaries of the "risk-off" trade which dominated market movements during the period included high-quality, blue chip companies with strong balance sheets. This included our top two contributors to performance, Public Storage, Inc. and Simon Property Group, Inc., the two largest US real estate investment trusts in the benchmark. Additionally, strong performance from out-of-benchmark holdings Lennar Corp. and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. were positive for our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period. Following strong performance in the fourth quarter and first weeks of 2012, we sold Starwood Hotels and Resorts from our portion of the Portfolio, as we felt the security was trading closer to fair value and anticipated weaker guidance from management in 2012.

Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.

Investment process (concluded)

Brookfield invests in a diversified portfolio of global securities of companies primarily in the real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts, real estate operating companies, companies whose value is significantly affected by the value of such companies' real estate holdings, and related entities and structures. Brookfield utilizes a fundamental, bottom-up, value-based stock selection methodology.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking to diversify a portion of their assets into real-estate related investments. Investors should be willing to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity and real estate markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies or issuers in whose securities the Portfolio invests. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social, and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. These risks are greater for investments in emerging market issuers than for issuers in more developed countries. There are certain risks associated with investing in real estate-related investments, including sensitivity to economic downturns, interest rates, declines in property values and variation in property management.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period,  (11.52)%; 5-year period, (9.09)%; since inception, (8.84)%; Class C—1-year period, (8.08)%; 5-year period, (8.79)%; since inception, (8.56)%; Class Y—1-year period, (6.33)%; since inception, 12.75%; Class P—1-year period, (8.03)%; since inception, (10.41)%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.68% and 1.45%; Class C—2.45% and 2.20%; Class Y—1.34% and 1.20%; and Class P—1.65% and 1.20%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.45%; Class C—2.20%; Class Y—1.20% and Class P—1.20%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Since inception returns are calculated as of commencement of issuance on December 18, 2006 for Class A and C shares, and January 22, 2007 for Class P shares. Class Y shares commenced issuance on November 30, 2006 and had fully redeemed by February 15, 2007 remaining inactive through December 25, 2008. The inception return of Class Y shares is calculated from December 26, 2008, which is the date the Class Y shares recommenced investment operations. Since inception returns for the Index and Lipper median are shown as of December 31, 2006, which is the month-end after the inception date of the oldest share classes (Class A and Class C).

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

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

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index is designed to track the performance of listed real estate companies and real estate investment trusts ("REITs") worldwide. By making the index constituents free-float adjusted, liquidity, size and revenue screened, the series is suitable for use as the basis for investment products, such as derivatives and exchange traded funds. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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 the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio's Class P shares declined 0.43% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares declined 1.42% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "benchmark") returned 0.02%, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index returned 0.82%, and the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.33%, while the Lipper Absolute Return Funds category posted a median decline of 1.29%.1 (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 166. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.)

Sub-Advisors' comments2

Analytic Investors

Our portion of the Portfolio consists of long-short equity positions.3 Our process is based on the premise that investor behavior changes—although slowly—and is fairly persistent from month to month. To support this premise, our model is driven by specific security characteristics within seven groups (such as valuation, quality and liquidity), to help us identify potential investment opportunities.

An emphasis on low beta stocks helped performance during the reporting period, as low beta securities outperformed high beta securities. (Beta is a measure of volatility or risk relative to the market as a whole.)

Within our stock selection model, an emphasis on quality characteristics, such as companies with above-average returns on assets and strong profit margins, helped as investors sought relative safety in quality companies. In addition, an overweight to certain growth characteristics, such as an emphasis on companies with strong profit growth, positively impacted

For performance on the Portfolio's prior Lipper peer group classification, please see the "Performance at a glance" table on page 166.

2  All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

3  When a long position is taken, a security is purchased with the expectation that it will rise in value. A short position is taken when we believe, based on our research, that securities are overpriced, and, therefore, we hope to make a profit when the security falls in value. When shorting an investment, we borrow the security, sell it, and then buy an equal number of shares later—hopefully at a lower price—to replace those we borrowed.

performance. The strategy experienced negative results within valuation, as an emphasis to companies with strong forecasted earnings-to-price ratios negatively impacted results.

We experienced strong results in Europe, North America and the Pacific regions. An underweight to Europe, coupled with strong security selection within the region, helped results as countries such as France, Germany and Spain all performed poorly. A long position in the Pacific region negatively impacted performance, but stock selection was quite strong in Japan, which made overall results positive in this region. Within North America, the strategy benefited from a modest overweight to the region and strong security selection.

With regards to sectors, we produced positive results within the majority of sectors, with the biggest benefit coming within financials, as a combination of strong stock selection and an underweight to this sector helped performance. In addition, results were quite strong in energy, health care and materials.

The top equity performers during the period included a short position in US-based company Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., and long positions in Petrobakken Energy Ltd. and Amgen, Inc. Long positions in TonenGeneral Sekiyu KK, Power Assets Holdings Ltd. and Warner Chilcott PLC were the worst performing stocks in our portion of the Portfolio.

Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Wellington Management

Our portion of the Portfolio posted a negative absolute return during the reporting period. Natural resources exposure detracted from performance as both energy and agricultural equities held in our portion of the Portfolio fell during the period. Oil prices dropped during the third quarter of 2011, due to worries about a global economic slowdown. In particular, investors were concerned about a potential decline in Chinese demand. The return of Libya to the oil export market also added to supplies, and US natural gas prices declined as supply growth resulted in healthy inventory levels in North America. Finally, agricultural equities declined as shares of fertilizer and agricultural chemical companies sold off sharply. While natural resources equities rose during the second half of the review period, it was not enough to offset the impact of the earlier decline.

Investment process (continued)

strategy may also employ the use of derivatives, such as swaps, futures, non-deliverable forwards ("NDFs"), and forward contracts.

Wellington Management pursues an "opportunistic equity plus alpha" strategy by opportunistically seeking non-core equity exposures that Wellington Management believes are attractively valued, have positive structural characteristics in the current market environment or are expected to benefit from anticipated economic cycles. In addition, Wellington Management may employ other investment approaches, for example, by allocating assets to fixed income securities or other non-equity investments that are expected to contribute positive returns over time. Wellington Management may buy and sell, directly or indirectly, listed or unlisted equity and fixed income securities issued by entities around the world, as well as derivative instruments.

First Quadrant employs a "global macro strategy" which is implemented by combining several different complex investment techniques. It uses a "tactical risk allocation" approach across global markets which increases investment risk where it believes opportunities for risk-adjusted profit are high and attempts to lower market risks when it believes gains have been realized and future gains are unlikely. First Quadrant also assesses the combination of local market and economic factors as well as global equity, fixed income or currency market factors and attempts to capture inefficiencies in those markets. First Quadrant's strategy is primarily implemented through the use of derivatives and it seldom holds net long positions.

Our opportunistic positions also detracted from performance during the period. The timing of trades within the euro and Australian dollar weighed on our results. Short exposure to US and German 30-year government bonds also detracted from performance, as did long exposure to Japanese equities. Partially offsetting these negative results were our exposures to US equities and long exposure to US 10-year government bonds.

In terms of individual stocks, top detractors included specialty coffee and coffee maker company Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. Its share price fell sharply after revenue and earnings fell short of expectations. In addition, there were concerns surrounding the company's disclosure regarding a looming patent issue and a "litany of accounting questions." We eliminated the position during the period. Also detracting from performance was our holding in Joy Global, a global mining machinery and services company. Its share price fell after the company warned that production could slow because of weaker demand for coal and other mined commodities. We eliminated the position during the period.

Top contributors to performance included our holding in toy manufacturer Mattel, Inc. Its share price rose due to solid reported earnings and the announcement that it was acquiring HIT Entertainment. Our position in semiconductor company Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. also contributed to performance when its share price rose after it reported good earnings results and a solid business outlook.

Certain derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, interest rate futures and bond futures, were used to gain exposure to global bond markets, to implement yield curve and duration strategies and to take advantage of inefficiencies within the global bond market. Equity index futures and equity index options were utilized to gain exposure to certain global equity markets and to hedge against anticipated declines. Our portion of the Portfolio also made use of currency forwards to gain exposure to certain currencies, hedge against anticipated changes and to take advantage of inefficiencies between various currencies. The results of the derivatives used during the period were within our expectations.

First Quadrant

During the reporting period, positive performance from currency management was offset by losses in bond country selection and global asset class selection. Currency selection gains were chiefly a result of an overweight to the US dollar and an underweight to the Swiss franc, although several other currencies made positive contributions during the period.

Investment process (concluded)

Standard Life Investments employs a "global multi-asset strategy" and seeks to achieve a total return by delivering a diversified global portfolio that makes use of multiple strategies across various asset classes. Standard Life Investments aims to exploit market cyclicality and a diverse array of inefficiencies across and within global markets to maximize risk adjusted absolute return. Standard Life Investments' portion of the Portfolio consists of listed equity, equity-related and debt securities, including exchange traded funds, and will routinely make use of derivatives or other instruments both for investment and hedging purposes. Standard Life Investments may take long and/or short positions, and its derivative investments may include, but are not restricted to, futures, options, swaps, and forward currency contracts.

GSAM (until February 10, 2012) seeks to employ a number of diverse strategies and seeks to allocate capital tactically to strategies it believes offer the best opportunities at a given point in time in a given market or sector. GSAM focuses mainly on the global fixed income and currency markets, across various investment grade and sub-investment grade sectors, and may also invest in derivative investments.

Bond country selection losses were chiefly due to an overweight to Japanese government bonds. While they produced a positive return over the period, Japanese government bonds underperformed other sovereign debt. In terms of global asset class selection, we held equities short and bonds long for the two-month period ending in mid-October 2011. Our subsequent reversal back to a long tilt toward global equities was too late to avoid incurring losses, given the global equity rally that began in late September.

As a general rule, derivatives are the primary instrument used to implement all five portions, or "sleeves" of our portfolio. Specifically, we used developed market futures to implement stock and bond country selection sleeves, as well as the global asset class selection sleeve. We used forwards to implement the currency selection sleeve, and the volatility management sleeve was implemented using options on developed market futures.

With regard to the first four sleeves, futures and forwards were used to gain economic exposure in a more cost-efficient manner relative to traditional instruments (for example, physical stocks, bonds and currencies). With regards to the volatility management sleeve, options were used to exploit structural characteristics of options pricing.

Overall, the liquidity and low transaction cost of these derivative instruments offers the investment team the ability to be more nimble and to implement strategies at a lower cost. We find both attributes to be positive contributors to our performance.

Standard Life Investments

The global markets continued to be volatile during the reporting period. At the beginning of the period, we captured profits from our long equity volatility strategy, as it had benefited from the sharp decline in equity markets and investors' expectations for continued volatility going forward. Later in the period, we opened a new long equity volatility strategy to reflect our expectation that global markets would remain volatile for the foreseeable future.

During the period, we experienced strong returns from our long-dated US Treasuries strategy, as well as our exposure to global inflation-linked bonds. During the latter part of the period, however, we reduced the duration of our portion of the Portfolio, as many government bond markets were starting to look expensive.

Our portion of the Portfolio benefited from its credit market positions, as these asset classes regained some ground at the end of 2011. From a foreign exchange perspective, a long Norwegian krone versus Swiss franc strategy contributed to returns. We also saw a positive impact from our strategies that benefited from a value decline in the euro. Finally, given the volatility in the markets, overall stock selection detracted from returns during the reporting period.

We continue to believe in an erratic but protracted recovery in the global markets. We feel that additional regulation of financial firms will help to reduce their credit risk and allow us to take advantage of their current wide spreads. (Spread measures the difference in yield between a fixed income security and a government bond of similar duration.) Credit positions, both long and relative, therefore form a significant part of our portion of the Portfolio. We are also short bank stocks, as we anticipate lower returns from banks due to the recapitalization of their balance sheets to meet capital adequacy requirements. We also anticipate continued scrutiny from ratings agencies. Collectively, we feel these headwinds will negatively impact bank stocks. Therefore, we believe we are positioned to benefit from their relative underperformance compared to their overall market. Elsewhere, we are positioned to take advantage of the growth prospects in emerging markets, in our view.

PACE Alternative Strategies Investments

Our portion of the Portfolio has a cash benchmark and is mandated to seek absolute return opportunities based on our three-year outlook of markets globally. Our goal for our portion of the Portfolio is to beat cash returns by 5% on a three-year rolling basis, while maximizing risk adjusted absolute return. Cash returns remain anchored close to zero, and are not expected to increase markedly over the coming three years as we expect below-average growth in developed markets for some time to come. That said, we do not foresee this persisting indefinitely, so we have built our portion of the Portfolio to seek returns to also beat the long-term expectations of cash returns.

We utilized derivatives extensively to implement our fundamental strategy; seeking to provide exposure to a wide range of investment opportunities. In terms of derivatives, many of the individual investment strategies in our portion of the Portfolio should be considered in combination with other positions. This is particularly the case, for example, with relative value investments, but it is also the case when looking at equity positions.

The futures that were implemented to express relative value views, such as US large-cap equity versus US small-cap equity, generated positive results. In addition, we used futures for duration exposure. Swaps were used to gain additional exposure to high yield and other duration exposure.

GSAM (Note: GSAM was terminated as a Sub-Advisor for the Portfolio effective February 10, 2012, after the reporting period had ended. GSAM's portion of the Portfolio was transitioned to Standard Life Investments, a current Sub-Advisor for this Fund.)

Within our portion of the Portfolio, duration and yield curve positioning detracted from performance over the reporting period. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes. A yield curve is a line that plots interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.) In August 2011, our positioning along the US yield curve was positive for results as interest rates fell dramatically due to continued global economic concerns and the heightened European sovereign debt crisis. However, this was offset by our yield curve positioning in September and October. In terms of duration, volatility remained high throughout the fourth quarter, and so by year-end 2011, we were short duration in the US and Japan. Our short duration position in the US was driven by positive economic data, while our duration position in Japan reflected our view that interest rates there didn't have much more room to fall given their already low levels.

Overall, cross-sector positioning was the largest detractor from performance during the reporting period. This was mostly driven from exposure to non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), as the sector moved lower amid a flight to quality in the global markets. An allocation to the corporate credit space also detracted from results, primarily during August and September 2011. During this time, volatility increased given uncertainty surrounding the US debt ceiling and the subsequent loss of the country's AAA rating on its long-term debt by Standard & Poor's. Exposure to the corporate credit space was also a negative for our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period. However, our allocation to asset-backed securities within the securitized sector helped to offset some of this negative impact.

Finally, security selection overall contributed positively to performance. Within the investment grade corporate sector, specific names in the financial and industrial sectors proved positive, as did security selection in the financial and structured product space within the high yield market. Elsewhere, emerging market debt selections along the South African curve contributed to performance, as did our Brazilian securities. Conversely, security selection in the government and agency spaces, particularly our holdings of local agency authority bonds and US Treasuries, slightly detracted from performance.

During the period we employed derivatives for the efficient management of our portfolio. Derivatives allow us to manage interest rate, credit and currency risks more effectively by allowing us both to hedge and to apply active investment views with greater versatility, and to afford greater risk management precision. The results of the derivatives used during the period were within our expectations.

Special considerations

The Portfolio may be appropriate for investors seeking long term capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets and fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long-term. The Portfolio may employ investment strategies that involve greater risks than the strategies used by many other mutual funds, including increased use of short sales (which involve the risk of an unlimited increase in the market value of the security sold short, which could result in a theoretically unlimited loss), leverage and derivative transactions, and hedging strategies. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers of securities in which the Portfolio invests. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (9.45)%; 5-year period, (3.16)%; since inception, (1.89)%: Class C—1-year period, (5.82)%; 5-year period, (2.78)%; since inception, (1.58)%: Class Y—1-year period, (4.02)%; since inception, (3.42)%; Class P—1-year period, (5.83)%; 5-year period, (3.77)%; since inception, (2.64)%.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2011 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—2.08% and 2.03%; Class B—2.78% and 2.73%; Class C—2.78% and 2.73%; Class Y—1.85% and 1.80%; and Class P—1.81% and 1.76%. Class B shares were not operational as of November 28, 2011; therefore, those ratios have been estimated. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to (1) waive its management fees equal to an annual rate of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets through November 30, 2012; and (2) waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 28, 2012 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.95%; Class B—2.70%; Class C—2.70%; Class Y—1.70%; and Class P—1.70%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses (pursuant to item (2)) to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Since inception returns are calculated as of commencement of issuance on April 10, 2006 for Class P and Class A shares, and April 11, 2006 for Class C shares. Class Y shares commenced issuance on April 3, 2006, and had fully redeemed by July 27, 2006 remaining inactive through July 22, 2008. The inception return of Class Y shares is calculated from July 23, 2008, which is the date the Class Y shares recommenced investment operations. Class B shares commenced issuance on May 19, 2006, and had fully redeemed by April 8, 2010. Since inception returns for the Indices and Lipper median are shown as of April 30, 2006, which is the month-end after the inception date of the oldest share classes (Class P and Class A).

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

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

4  The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

6  The Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index reflecting monthly return equivalents of yield averages that are not marked to the market and an average of the last three 3-month T-bill month-end rates. 3-month T-bills are the short-term debt obligations of the US government. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

7  The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad-based, market capitalization weighted index which is designed to measure the broad global markets for US and non US corporate, government, governmental agency, supranational, mortgage-backed and asset-backed fixed income securities. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

8  The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) produces monthly data on changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. The index is calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

9  On August 3, 2011, Lipper changed the peer group classification for PACE Alternative Strategies Investments from the Lipper Global Flexible Portfolio Funds category to the Lipper Absolute Return Funds category.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.

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 Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio 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.

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

**  On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency placed the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation into conservatorship, and the US Treasury guaranteed the debt issued by those organizations.

1  Security, or portion thereof, pledged as collateral for investments sold short, written options or futures.

2  Illiquid securities representing 1.80% of net assets as of January 31, 2012.

3  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At January 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to 0.95% of net assets.

4  In US Dollars unless otherwise indicated.

5  Variable or floating rate security. The interest rate shown is the current rate as of January 31, 2012 and changes periodically.

6  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities, which represent 1.35% of net assets as of January 31, 2012, are considered liquid and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.

7  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities, which represent 0.13% of net assets as of January 31, 2012, are considered illiquid and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.

8  Payment-in-kind security for which interest may be paid in cash or additional principal, at the discretion of the issuer.

9  Perpetual bond security. The maturity date reflects the next call date.

10  Step bond that converts to the noted fixed rate at a designated future date.

11  Bond interest in default.

12  Zero coupon bond. The interest rate represents annualized yield at date of purchase.

13  Rate shown is the discount rate at date of purchase.

14  Payments made/received are based on the notional amount.

15  If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional value of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

16  Payment from/to the counterparty will be received/made upon the occurrence of a failure to pay, obligation acceleration, repudiation or restructuring of the referenced obligations.

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

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

19  At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged, where the payoff amount is equivalent to the difference between the realized price variance of the reference entity and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. As a receiver of the realized price variance, the Portfolio would receive the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the reference entity is greater than the strike price and would owe the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price. As a payer of the realized price variance, the Portfolio would owe the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the reference entity is greater than the strike price and would receive the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price.

20  The Portfolio receives payments based on any positive monthly duration return of the Markit IOS Index. The Portfolio makes payments on any negative monthly duration adjusted return of such index.

TBA  (To Be Announced) Security is purchased on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount (generally +/- 1.0%) and no definite maturity date. The actual principal amount and maturity date will be determined upon settlement when the specific mortgage pools are assigned.

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

Understanding your Portfolio's expenses (unaudited)

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

The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, August 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012.

Actual expenses

The first line for each class of shares in the table below for each Portfolio provides information about its 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 for each class of shares for each respective Portfolio under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line for each class of shares in the table below for each Portfolio provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on that Portfolio'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 Portfolio's actual return for each class of shares. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Portfolio 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 Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs (as applicable), such as sales charges (loads), or program fees. Therefore, the second line in the table for each class of shares for each Portfolio is useful in comparing ongoing Portfolio costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs or program fees were included, your costs would have been higher.

1  Amount represents less than $0.0005 per share.

2  Total investment return is calculated assuming a $10,000 investment on the first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, if any, at net asset value on the payable dates, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not include program fees; results would be lower if these fees were included. Total investment return for the period of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions.

3  Annualized.

Total investment return for periods of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.

8  Annualized.

9  The investment manager recouped expenses previously reimbursed by the investment manager on behalf of the Portfolio, not to exceed the expense cap.

10  The ratios after and before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements by and recoupments to manager are the same since the recoupments to manager represent less than 0.01%.

Organization and significant accounting policies

PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company currently composed of fifteen separate investment portfolios and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware by Certificate of Trust dated September 9, 1994, as amended June 9, 1995 and thereafter. The trustees of the Trust have authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share.

The Trust has fifteen Portfolios available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies: PACE Money Market Investments, PACE Government Securities Fixed Income Investments, PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments, PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments, PACE Municipal Fixed Income Investments, PACE International Fixed Income Investments, PACE High Yield Investments, PACE Large Co Value Equity Investments, PACE Large Co Growth Equity Investments, PACE Small/Medium Co Value Equity Investments, PACE Small/Medium Co Growth Equity Investments, PACE International Equity Investments, PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments (collectively, the "Portfolios").

Each of the Portfolios is classified as a diversified investment company with the exception of PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments, PACE International Fixed Income Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments. With the exception of PACE Money Market Investments (which currently offers Class P shares only) and PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments (which currently offers Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class P shares), each Portfolio currently offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Class P shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Portfolio 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. In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend shares automatically convert to Class A shares within a certain number of years after issuance which varies depending upon the amount invested and, effective on March 1, 2012 all outstanding Class B shares converted to Class A shares of the same Portfolio. 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 Y and Class P shares have no service or distribution plan. The Portfolios' Class P shares currently are available for purchase only to participants in the PACESM Select Advisors Program, except that PACE Money Market Investments shares are also available to participants in the PACESM Multi Advisor Program.

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

In the normal course of business, the Portfolios may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Portfolios' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolios have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

PACE Money Market Investments attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share; the Portfolio has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend/distribution policies in an attempt to enable it to do so. As with any money market portfolio, there is no assurance, however, that the Portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("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 GAAP for SEC registrants. The Portfolios' financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—Each Portfolio calculates its net asset value on days that the NYSE is open. A Portfolio calculates net asset value separately for each class as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, a Portfolio's net asset value per share will be calculated as of the time trading was halted.

PACE Money Market Investments' net asset value per share is expected to be $1.00 per share, although this value is not guaranteed. PACE Money Market Investments values its securities at amortized cost. This method uses a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the cost of the instrument to the fund and the amount due at maturity.

Each Portfolio (other than PACE Money Market Investments) calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Portfolios normally obtain market values for their securities and other instruments 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 securities or instruments. 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 securities or instruments. If a market value is not readily available from an independent pricing source for a particular security or instrument, that security or instrument is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the board.

The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Pursuant to the Portfolios' use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies are also valued at the daily closing net asset value. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Portfolios' custodian. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the NYSE.

Securities and instruments 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. Securities and instruments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges are normally 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.

The board has delegated to UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM")'s Global Valuation Committee the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Portfolios' holdings. The types of securities and other instruments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign securities and instruments under some circumstances, as discussed below; securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; securities or instruments 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 securities or


285



PACE Select Advisors Trust

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

instruments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's or instrument'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 securities or instruments; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the securities or instruments are purchased and sold.

Each Portfolio expects to price most of its portfolio holdings based on current market value, as discussed previously. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available may be valued based upon appraisals received from a pricing service using a computerized matrix system or formula method that takes into consideration market indices, matrices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Securities and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. If a Portfolio concludes that a market quotation is not readily available for a portfolio security or instrument for any number of reasons, including the occurrence of a "significant event" (e.g., natural disaster or governmental action), after the close of trading in its principal domestic or foreign market but before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, the Portfolio will use fair value methods to reflect those events. This policy is intended to assure that each Portfolio's net asset value fairly reflects the value of its portfolio holdings as of the time of pricing. PACE International Equity Investments, PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities or instruments 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. If a security or instrument is valued at a "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security or instrument. The use of the fair valuation model may result in securities or instruments being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy at reporting period ends. In cases where securities or instruments are traded on more than one exchange, the securities or instruments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global AM, the investment manager of the Portfolios.

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 and other OTC derivatives are marked to market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. 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.

GAAP requires disclosure surrounding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of each Portfolio'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 each Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

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

In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-03 "Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements" ("ASU 2011-03") which relates to the accounting for repurchase agreements and similar agreements, including mortgage dollar rolls, that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 modifies the criteria for determining effective control of transferred assets and as a result certain agreements may now be accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2011-03 is effective prospectively for new transfers and existing transactions that are modified in the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of this change and its impact on the financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB Issued ASU No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("ASU 2011-04") ("IFRS")". ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosure about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company's financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of US GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Portfolios' financial statement disclosures.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC Topic 815") require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a Portfolio's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in each applicable Portfolio of investments. Certain derivative contracts entered into by the Portfolios 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 applicable Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of January 31, 2012 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of January 31, 2012, a Portfolio would be required to post additional


287

collateral or may be required to terminate the contract and settle any amounts outstanding. The volume of derivatives that is presented in the Portfolio of investments of each Portfolio is consistent with the derivative activity during the six months ended January 31, 2012. The Portfolios may be sellers of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements); however, the Portfolios are not aware of any additional credit-risk contingent features on other derivative contracts held by the Portfolios (other than those described earlier).

At January 31, 2012, the Portfolios had the following derivatives categorized by underlying risk:

Repurchase agreements—The Portfolios may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Portfolios maintain custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Portfolios and their counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolios generally have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds, equities and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. If the seller (or seller's guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the Portfolios may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. Each Portfolio (with the exception of PACE Municipal Fixed Income Investments) may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM.

Under certain circumstances, the Portfolios may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Portfolios assessed a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.

Restricted securities—The Portfolios 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

 


292



PACE Select Advisors Trust

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included at the end of each Portfolio's Portfolio of investments.

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 is recorded net of withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date ("ex-date") (except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Portfolio, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends). Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

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

Foreign currency translation—The books and records of the Portfolios 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, sales, 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 on the Statement of operations.

The Portfolios do not generally isolate the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effects of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. However, the Portfolios do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated debt obligations pursuant to US federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as realized foreign currency transaction gain or loss for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Net realized foreign currency transaction gain (loss) is treated as ordinary income (loss) for income tax reporting purposes.

Forward foreign currency contracts—Certain Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") as part of its investment strategy, in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the US dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Portfolios may also engage in cross-hedging by using forward contracts in one currency to hedge fluctuations in the value of securities denominated in a different currency if the applicable investment sub-advisor anticipates that there is a correlation between the two currencies. Forward contracts may also be used to shift a Portfolio's exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another.

The Portfolios have no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be committed to such contracts; however, the value of all forward contracts will not exceed the value of a Portfolio's total assets. The Portfolios may enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to forward contracts only if (1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Portfolios to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the positions being hedged by such contracts or (2) the Portfolios maintain cash or liquid securities in a segregated account in an amount determined pursuant to the Portfolios' segregation policies as disclosed in the Trust's Statement of Additional Information.

PACE Select Advisors Trust

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Risks may arise upon entering into forward 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.

Fluctuations in the value of open forward contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts by the Portfolios. Realized gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Portfolios on contracts which have matured. Net realized foreign currency gain (loss) from forward foreign currency contracts is treated as ordinary income (loss) for income tax reporting purposes by all Portfolios except PACE International Fixed Income Investments and PACE High Yield Investments. These two Portfolios treat net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency contracts as capital gain (loss) for income tax reporting.

Securities traded on to-be-announced basis—The Portfolios may from time to time purchase securities on a to-be-announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA transaction, the Portfolio commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying security transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Portfolio, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Portfolio enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations, and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

Option writing—Certain Portfolios may write (sell) put and call options on securities or derivative instruments in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets. When a Portfolio writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolio is included on the Portfolio's Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent 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 Portfolio has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio has written is exercised, the Portfolio 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 the Portfolio has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise of the option.

In writing an option, the Portfolios bear 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 Portfolio could result in the Portfolio selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.

In the ordinary course of business, the Portfolios may enter into contracts or agreements that contain indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur that lead to the execution of these provisions against the Portfolios. Based on its history and experience, the Portfolios feel that the likelihood of such an event is remote.

In the normal course of trading activities, the Portfolios trade and hold certain fair valued derivative contracts that constitute guarantees. Such contracts include written put options, where the Portfolios would be obligated to purchase securities at specified prices (i.e. the options are exercised by the counterparties). The maximum payout


294



PACE Select Advisors Trust

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

for these contracts is limited to the number of put option contracts written and the related strike prices, respectively. At January 31, 2012, PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments had maximum payout amounts of approximately $2,075,915 and $3,418,386, respectively, relating to written put option contracts, which expire between one month and five years. Maximum payout amounts could be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the execution of a payout event.

The fair value of written put option contracts as of January 31, 2012 is $(1,193,484) and $(2,349,222) for PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments, respectively, and is included as a liability in Options and swaptions written, at fair value on the Statement of assets and liabilities.

Purchased options—Certain Portfolios may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Portfolio pays 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. 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.

Futures contracts—Certain Portfolios may purchase or sell futures contracts to increase or reduce their exposure to an asset class without purchasing or selling the underlying securities. They may do this to enhance or realize gains, as a hedge and/or to manage the average duration of the Portfolio. Using futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk as well as the risks 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.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or 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 the Portfolio each day depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures contracts payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

Loan assignments—Certain Portfolios may invest in secured or unsecured fixed or floating rate loans ("Loans") arranged through private negotiations between a borrowing corporation, government or other entity and one or more financial institutions ("Lenders") which may be in the form of participations ("Participations") in Loans or assignments ("Assignments") of all or a portion of Loans from third parties. A Portfolio may invest in multiple series or tranches of a Loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Participations typically result in a Portfolio having a contractual relationship only with the Lender, not with the borrower. A Portfolio has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, a Portfolio generally has no direct right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the Loan, or any rights of set-off against the borrower, and a Portfolio may not directly benefit from any collateral supporting the Loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, a Portfolio assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation. In the event of the insolvency of the selling Lender, the Portfolio may be treated as a general creditor of that Lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the Lender and the borrower. A Portfolio will acquire Participations only if its sub-advisor determines that the selling Lender is creditworthy. When a Portfolio purchases Assignments from Lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the Loan. In an Assignment,

the Portfolio is entitled to receive payments directly from the borrower and, therefore, does not depend on the selling bank to pass these payments onto the Portfolio. However, because Assignments are arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and assignors, the rights and obligations acquired by a Portfolio as the purchaser of an Assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.

Short sales "Against the Box"—Each Portfolio (other than PACE Money Market Investments and PACE Municipal Fixed Income Investments) may engage in short sales of securities it owns or has the right to acquire at no added cost through conversion or exchange of other securities it owns (short sales "against the box"). To make delivery to the purchaser in a short sale, the executing broker borrows the securities being sold short on behalf of a Portfolio, and that Portfolio is obligated to replace the securities borrowed at a date in the future. When a Portfolio sells short, it establishes a margin account with the broker effecting the short sale and deposits collateral with the broker. In addition, the Portfolio maintains, in a segregated account with its custodian, the securities that could be used to cover the short sale. Each Portfolio may incur transaction costs, including dividend and interest expense, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales "against the box".

A Portfolio might make a short sale "against the box" to hedge against market risks when its sub-advisor believes that the price of a security may decline, thereby causing a decline in the value of a security owned by the Portfolio or a security convertible into or exchangeable for a security owned by the Portfolio. In such case, any loss in the Portfolio's long position after the short sale should be reduced by a corresponding gain in the short position. Conversely, any gain in the long position after the short sale should be reduced by a corresponding loss in the short position. The extent to which gains or losses in the long position are reduced will depend upon the amount of the securities sold short relative to the amount of the securities a Portfolio owns, either directly or indirectly, and in the case where the Portfolio owns convertible securities, changes in the investment values or conversion premiums of such securities.

Short sales—PACE Government Securities Fixed Income Investments (with respect to securities issued by the US Treasury and TBA securities coupon trades), PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments may engage in short sale transactions in which the Portfolio sells a security it does not own (or does not have the right to acquire at no added cost). The Portfolio must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. In a short sale where a Portfolio is not holding a position in the same security (or convertible into the same security), the Portfolio will maintain an account containing cash or liquid assets at such a level that the amount deposited in the account plus that amount deposited with the broker as collateral will, at minimum, equal the current value of the investment sold short. 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 gains or losses on the Statement of operations. A Portfolio incurs transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales. Because PACE Alternative Strategies Investments is multi-managed and has the ability to engage in short sales, one investment advisor may take a short position and another advisor may take a long position in the same security. A Portfolio will be required to pay the buyer for any dividends or other corporate actions and interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends and interest are booked as an expense or liability to the Portfolio on an accrual basis. A Portfolio will incur 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 Portfolio replaces the borrowed security, and a Portfolio will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those same dates. Because a Portfolio'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. In addition, a Portfolio's investments held long could decline in value at the same time the value of the investment sold short increases, thereby increasing the Portfolio's potential for loss. PACE Government Securities Fixed Income Investments and PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments did not engage in uncovered short sales during the six months ended January 31, 2012.

Treasury roll transactions—Certain Portfolios may enter into treasury roll transactions. A treasury roll transaction involves the sale of a Treasury security, with an agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed upon price and date. Treasury rolls constitute a financing transaction and the difference between the sale and repurchase price represents interest expense at an agreed upon rate. Whether such a transaction produces a positive impact on performance depends upon whether the income and gains on the securities purchased with the proceeds received from the sale of the security exceeds the interest expense incurred by the Portfolio. Treasury rolls are not considered purchases and sales and any gains or losses incurred on the treasury rolls will be deferred until the Treasury securities are disposed.

Treasury roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Portfolio is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon purchase price of those securities. If investment performance of securities purchased with proceeds from these transactions does not exceed the income, capital appreciation and gain or loss that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the treasury roll, the use of this technique will adversely impact the investment performance of the Portfolio. During the six months ended January 31, 2012, the only Portfolio that utilized treasury roll transactions was PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments.

Reverse repurchase agreements—Certain Portfolios may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party banks, securities dealers or their affiliates. Interest on the value of reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time a Portfolio enters into reverse repurchase agreements, the Portfolio establishes and maintains a segregated account with the Portfolio's custodian containing liquid securities having a value not less than the repurchase price, including accrued interest, of the reverse repurchase agreement. The Portfolios did not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements during the six months ended January 31, 2012.

Interest rate swap agreements—Certain Portfolios may enter into interest rate swap agreements. 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.

Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap agreement to comply with the terms of the agreement. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment to be received by the Portfolio. Therefore, the Portfolio considers the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

The Portfolio accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swaps, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap contracts on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swaps within the Statement of operations.

Inflation swaps—Inflation swap agreements are used to hedge inflation risk by transferring inflation risk from one party to another through an exchange of cash flows. In an inflation swap, one party pays a fixed rate on a notional principal amount while the other party pays a floating rate linked to an inflation index on that same notional amount. The party paying the floating rate pays the inflation adjusted rate multiplied by the notional principal amount. If the average inflation rate over the term of the swap is the same as the fixed rate of the swap, the two legs will have the same value and the swap will break even.

Credit default swap agreements—Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default of a security or a credit event. As a buyer, the Portfolio would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Portfolio would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Portfolio will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Portfolio typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Portfolio would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Portfolio would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no default or credit event occurs, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio typically pays full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the reference 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 Portfolio may use credit default swaps 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 swaps on 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 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 deliverable 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). The Portfolio may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of January 31, 2012 for which a Portfolio is the seller of protection are disclosed under the sections "Credit default swaps on credit indices—sell protection" and "Credit default swaps on corporate and sovereign issues—sell protection" in the Portfolios 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 Portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities.

The use of swaps involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If a Portfolio's sub-adviser is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Portfolios will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swaps do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, a Portfolio's risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Portfolio is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Portfolio would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

Total return swaps—Total return swap contracts involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transactions exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.

Variance swaps—Variance swap agreements involve two parties agreeing to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a "fixed rate" or strike price payment for the "floating rate" or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price is generally chosen such that the fair value of the swap is zero. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged, where the payoff amount is equivalent to the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. As a receiver of the realized price variance, the Portfolio would receive the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would owe the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price. As a payer of the realized price variance the Portfolio would owe the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price.

Centrally cleared swapsCertain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, such as interest rate and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Portfolio typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Portfolio's exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. Only a limited number of transactions are currently eligible for clearing. Centrally cleared swaps, if any, are reported on the Statement of assets and liabilities based on variation margin received or paid, if any.

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amounts of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from 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.

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


299



PACE Select Advisors Trust

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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 PACE International Fixed Income Investments, PACE High Yield Investments, PACE International Equity Investments, PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments are authorized to invest.

Small capitalization ("small cap") companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization 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 larger capitalization companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in larger capitalization 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. These risks are greater with respect to the securities in which PACE Small/Medium Co Value Equity Investments and PACE Small/Medium Co Growth Equity Investments tend to invest.

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

UBS Global AM has entered into a written fee waiver agreement with each of PACE Government Securities Fixed Income Investments and PACE International Fixed Income Investments, under which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees to the extent necessary to reflect the lower subadvisory fees paid by UBS Global AM to each of these Portfolio's sub-advisors: Pacific Investment Management Company LLC and Rogge Global Partners plc. Additionally, effective October 1, 2011, UBS Global AM has entered into a written fee waiver agreement with PACE Alternative Strategies Investments under which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees equal to an annual rate of 0.05% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

Additionally, with respect to PACE Money Market Investments, UBS Global AM may voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses from time to time in the event that the Portfolio's yield falls below a certain level. Once started, there is no guarantee that UBS Global AM would continue to voluntarily waive an additional portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, UBS Global AM voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed expenses of $928,504 for PACE Money Market Investments for that purpose.

UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive all or a portion of its investment management and administration fees and/or to reimburse the Portfolios for certain operating expenses in order to maintain the total annual ordinary operating expenses of each class (with certain exclusions such as dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expense, if any) through November 30, 2012 at a level not to exceed amounts in the table below.

Each Portfolio will repay UBS Global AM for any such waived fees/reimbursed expenses during a three-year period following July 31, 2011, to the extent that ordinary operating expenses (with certain exclusions such as dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expense) are otherwise below the applicable expense cap in effect at the time the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.

Securities lending

Each Portfolio may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, US government securities or irrevocable letters of credit in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Portfolio will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, each Portfolio may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. Each Portfolio receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, US government securities or irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Portfolios' lending agent.

Bank line of credit

Each Portfolio, other than PACE Money Market Investments, participates with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM in a $100 million committed credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("Committed Credit Facility"), to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of each Portfolio at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, each Portfolio has agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the funds in the Committed Credit Facility. Each Portfolio borrows at prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowings. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the following Portfolios had borrowings as follows:

Redemption fees

Each class of each series of the Trust, with the exception of PACE Money Market Investments, will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exemptions as noted in the prospectuses. This amount is paid to the applicable Portfolio. The redemption fees earned by the

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Portfolios are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the six months ended, redemption fees represent less than $0.005 per share.

Federal tax status

Each of the Portfolios intends to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, each Portfolio intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011 was as follows:

Portfolio   Tax-exempt
income
  Ordinary
income
  Long term
realized
capital gains

In accordance with US Treasury regulations, the following Portfolios have elected to defer realized capital losses and foreign currency losses arising after October 31, 2010. Such losses are treated for tax purposes as arising on August 1, 2011:

As of and during the period ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolios did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Portfolios recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of operations. During the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolios did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended July 31, 2011, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

Board approvals of sub-advisory agreements
(unaudited)

November 2011 Board Meeting

First Quadrant LP

Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on November 15-16, 2011, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered and approved a proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") and First Quadrant LP ("First Quadrant") (the "First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Alternative Strategies Investments (the "Portfolio"). The board was asked to approve the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement as First Quadrant had agreed to a reduced sub-advisory fee schedule. (It was proposed that the then-effective sub-advisory agreement with First Quadrant be replaced by a newer, substantially similar agreement, but with a lower fee schedule.)

In its consideration of the approval of the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services currently provided and expected to be provided by First Quadrant to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. The board noted that First Quadrant had served as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio since April 2009 and that no terms of the then-current sub-advisory agreement between First Quadrant and UBS Global AM, other than the reduction in the sub-advisory fee, and no changes in the services provided by First Quadrant to the Portfolio, were being proposed. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Portfolio under the proposed First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Sub-Advisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee to be payable by UBS Global AM to First Quadrant in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services anticipated to be provided by First Quadrant. The board considered that the compensation to be paid to First Quadrant would be paid by UBS Global AM, not the Portfolio, and that, accordingly, the continued retention of First Quadrant would not reduce the fees otherwise incurred by the Portfolio's shareholders, but would increase the amount retained by UBS Global AM after payment of the sub-advisory fee. The board determined that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement. While not seeking any change in its agreement with UBS Global AM, the board indicated that it would take the change in the sub-advisory fee into consideration when it reviews the performance and contract terms relevant to UBS Global AM.

Other factors—Portfolio performance, profitability, economies of scale and other benefits to First Quadrant were not factors specifically considered by the board in its approval of the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement (although the board reviewed Portfolio performance generally, as it does at each regular board meeting), as no changes to the then-current sub-advisory agreement for First Quadrant, other than the reduced sub-advisory fee schedule, were being proposed. The board took note that it would review the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement and First Quadrant again at its July 2012 annual contract reconsideration meeting for the Trust and would consider these factors at that time.

In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the proposed First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Portfolio. No single factor reviewed by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

Copper Rock Capital Partners and Palisade Capital Management

Background—At the same meeting, the members of the board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and approved (1) a proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global AM and Copper Rock Capital Partners ("Copper Rock") and (2) a proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global AM and Palisade Capital Management ("Palisade"), each with respect to PACE Small/Medium Co Growth Equity Investments (the "Portfolio") (each a "Sub-Advisory Agreement"). The board was asked to approve each Sub-Advisory Agreement as Copper Rock and Palisade had agreed to a reduced sub-advisory fee schedule. (It was proposed that the then-effective sub-advisory agreements with Copper Rock and Palisade be replaced by newer, substantially similar agreements, but with lower fee schedules.)

In its consideration of the approval of each Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under each Sub-Advisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services currently provided and expected to be provided by each of Copper Rock and Palisade to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. The board noted that Copper Rock had served as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio since March 2007 and Palisade had served as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio since February 2009 and that no terms of the then-current sub-advisory agreement between Copper Rock or Palisade and UBS Global AM, other than the reduction in the sub-advisory fee, and no changes in the services provided by Copper Rock or Palisade to the Portfolio, were being proposed. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Portfolio under each proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Sub-Advisory fees—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee to be payable by UBS Global AM to each of Copper Rock and Palisade in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services anticipated to be provided by Copper Rock and Palisade. It was noted that the proposed sub-advisory fees were in line with the sub-advisory fee paid to the third sub-advisor to the Portfolio. The board considered that the compensation to be paid to Copper Rock and Palisade would be paid by UBS Global AM, not the Portfolio, and that, accordingly, the continued retention of Copper Rock and Palisade would not reduce the fees otherwise incurred by the Portfolio's shareholders, but would increase the amount retained by UBS Global AM after payment of the sub-advisory fees. The board determined that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under each Sub-Advisory Agreement. While not seeking any change in its agreement with UBS Global AM, the board indicated that it would take the change in the sub-advisory fees into consideration when it reviews the performance and contract terms relevant to UBS Global AM.

Other factors—Portfolio performance, profitability, economies of scale and other benefits to Copper Rock and Palisade were not factors specifically considered by the board in its approval of each Sub-Advisory Agreement (although the board reviewed Portfolio performance generally, as it does at each regular board meeting), as no changes to the then-current sub-advisory agreements for Copper Rock and Palisade, other than the reduced sub-advisory fee schedules, were being proposed. The board took note that it would review each Sub-Advisory Agreement and both Copper Rock and Palisade again at its July 2012 annual contract reconsideration meeting for the Trust and would consider these factors at that time.

In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved each Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Portfolio. No single factor reviewed by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve each Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

Semiannual Report
January 31, 2012




PACE Money Market Investments

March 16, 2012

Dear Shareholder,

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio returned 0.01% before the deduction of the maximum PACE program fee. (The Portfolio declined 0.99% after the deduction of the maximum PACE program fee, for the same six-month period.) Please remember that the PACE program fee is assessed outside the Portfolio at the PACE program account level. The program fee does not impact the determination of the Portfolio's net asset value per share. For comparison purposes, the median return of the Lipper Money Market Funds category was 0.01%. (Returns over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 4. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions.)

Advisor's comments

The economy continued to grow during the reporting period, although the expansion was tempered by continued high unemployment and weakness in the housing market. Against this backdrop, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") maintained the federal funds rate at a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%. (The federal funds rate, or "fed funds" rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) As a result, the yields of the securities in which the Portfolio invests remained extremely low, which in turn kept the Portfolio's yield low.

Market Investments

Investment Advisor:

UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.

Portfolio manager:

Robert Sabatino

Objective:

Current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity.

Investment process:

The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund and seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share, although it may be possible to lose money by investing in this Portfolio. The Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality money market instruments of governmental and private issuers. Security selection is based on the assessment of relative values and changes in market and economic conditions.

PACE Money Market Investments

We tactically adjusted the Portfolio's weighted average maturity (WAM)—which is the average duration of the securities in the Portfolio—throughout the six-month review period. When the reporting period began, the Portfolio had a WAM of 47 days. Given the challenges associated with the Standard & Poor's downgrade of US long-term debt and the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis, a key strategy for the Portfolio was maintaining ample liquidity. One way we accomplished this was by reducing the Portfolio's WAM; at period end, it was at 36 days. We also proactively cut the Portfolio's exposure to European banks.

At the issuer level, we maintained a high level of diversification, investing in smaller positions with the goal of reducing risk and keeping the Portfolio highly liquid. To that end, we typically purchased up to 3% in single nongovernment issuers throughout the reporting period. (The Portfolio is generally able to hold up to 5% in any one issuer, subject to certain exceptions.)

In terms of securities, we increased the Portfolio's exposure to commercial paper, US government and agency obligations and certificates of deposit over the six-month period. Conversely, we significantly reduced our allocation to repurchase agreements (transactions in which the seller of a security agrees to buy it back at a predetermined time and price or upon demand).

For PACE Money Market Investments, average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2011, after deduction of the maximum PACE program fee, were as follows: 1-year period, (1.97)%; 5-year period, (0.62)%; 10-year period, (0.31)%.

For PACE Money Market Investments, the 7-day current yield for the period ended January 31, 2012 was 0.01% (without maximum PACE program fee and after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements; the yield was (0.60)% before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements). With the maximum PACE program fee, the 7-day current yield was (1.99)% after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements; the yield was (2.60)% before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. The Portfolio's yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Portfolio than the total return quotation. Yields will fluctuate and reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements.

1  The maximum annual PACE program fee is 2% of the value of PACE assets. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE program fee was 1.5% of the value of PACE assets; however, the current maximum annual PACE program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns shown above.

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 Portfolio distributions. The return of an investment will fluctuate. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the payable dates. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Understanding your Portfolio's expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) ongoing program fees; and (2) ongoing Portfolio costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio 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, August 1, 2011 to January 31, 2012.

Actual expenses

The first line 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 in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio 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.

Understanding your Portfolio's expenses (unaudited) (concluded)

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any program fees. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Portfolio costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if program fees were included, your costs would have been higher.

Organization and significant accounting policies

PACE Money Market Investments (the "Portfolio") is a diversified portfolio of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust"), which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware by Certificate of Trust dated September 9, 1994, as amended June 9, 1995 and thereafter, and is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The trustees of the Trust have authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share.

The Trust has fifteen Portfolios available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. Shares of the Portfolio currently are available only to participants in the PACESM Select Advisors Program and the PACESM Multi Advisor Program.

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

In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Portfolio attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share; the Portfolio has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend/distribution policies in an attempt to enable it to do so. As with any money market fund, there is no assurance, however, that the Portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("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 GAAP for SEC registrants. The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—Investments are valued at amortized cost. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of the securities held by the Portfolio is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.

GAAP requires disclosure surrounding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Portfolio'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 Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

In accordance with the requirements of GAAP, a fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of the Portfolio's Statement of net assets.

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("ASU 2011-04") ("IFRS")". ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for


21



PACE Money Market Investments

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosure about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company's financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of US GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Portfolio's financial statement disclosures.

Repurchase agreements—The Portfolio may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Portfolio maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its


22



PACE Money Market Investments

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

regular custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Portfolio and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolio generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds, equities and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. If the seller (or seller's guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the Portfolio may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The Portfolio may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM").

Under certain circumstances, the Portfolio may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Portfolio assessed a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.

Investment transactions and investment income—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. 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.

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax"


23



PACE Money Market Investments

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

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.

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

Investment management and administration fees and other transactions with affiliates—The Portfolio's Board of Trustees has approved an investment management and administration contract ("Management Contract") with UBS Global AM. In accordance with the Management Contract, the Portfolio pays UBS Global AM an investment management and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. At January 31, 2012, the Portfolio is owed $109,159 from UBS Global AM, representing investment management and administration fees net of fee waivers/expense reimbursements.

UBS Global AM has contractually undertaken to waive a portion of the Portfolio's investment management and administration fees and/or reimburse a portion of the Portfolio's other expenses, when necessary, to maintain the total ordinary annual operating expenses (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expense, if any) through November 28, 2012 at a level not to exceed 0.60%. The Portfolio will make a payment to UBS Global AM for any previously waived fees/reimbursed expenses during the following three fiscal years to the extent that operating expenses are otherwise below the expense cap.

Additionally, UBS Global AM may voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses from time to time in the event that the Portfolio's yield falls below a certain level. Once started, there is no guarantee that UBS Global AM would continue to voluntarily waive an additional portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, UBS Global AM voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed expenses of $928,504 for that purpose.

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, UBS Global AM waived fees/reimbursed expenses, in total, of $1,491,088.

Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member

Professor Meyer Feldberg serves as a senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, a financial services firm with which the Portfolio may conduct transactions, resulting in him being an interested trustee of the Portfolio. The Portfolio has been informed that Professor Feldberg's role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Portfolio transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm's ability to provide best execution of the transactions. For the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley, having an aggregate value of $149,319,714. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a "mark-up" or "mark-down" of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by the Portfolio's investment manager, it is


25



PACE Money Market Investments

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

believed that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.

Transfer agency related services

UBS Financial Services Inc. provides certain services to the Portfolio pursuant to a delegation of authority from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. ("BNY Mellon"), the Portfolio's transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by BNY Mellon, not the Portfolio.

For the six months ended January 31, 2012, UBS Financial Services, Inc. received from BNY Mellon, not the Portfolio, $465,063 of the total transfer agency and related services fees paid by the Portfolio to BNY Mellon.

Securities lending

The Portfolio may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, US government securities or irrevocable letters of credit in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Portfolio will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Portfolio may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Portfolio receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, US government securities or irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Portfolio's lending agent. At January 31, 2012, the Portfolio did not have any securities on loan.

Federal tax status

The Portfolio intends to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Portfolio intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.


27



PACE Money Market Investments

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Portfolio during the six months ended January 31, 2012 and the fiscal year ended July 31, 2011 was ordinary income.

The components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Portfolio's fiscal year ending July 31, 2012.

At July 31, 2011, the Portfolio had net capital loss carryforwards available as reductions, to the extent provided in the regulations, of future net realized capital gains. The losses expire as follows:

Investments
  $ 94     $ 23     $ 117    

 

In accordance with US Treasury regulations, the Portfolio has elected to defer realized capital losses arising after October 31, 2010. Such losses are treated for tax purposes as arising on August 1, 2011:

Portfolio   Capital

PACE Money Market Investments   $ (636 )  

 

As of and during the period ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Portfolio recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the six months ended January 31, 2012, the Portfolio did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended July 31, 2011, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

PACE Money Market Investments

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, the Portfolio will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.
