February 15, 2008

Dear Shareholder:

Over UBS Global Asset Management’s 26-year investing history, we have held securely to the view that only through the disciplined application of our time-tested investment process can we seek to deliver solid, risk-adjusted results for our clients over time.

Perhaps at no point in our recent history has this fundamental tenet resonated so loudly, following a period in which the markets were roiled by events both unanticipated and unprecedented.

Against this backdrop, performance across a broad array of our Funds was challenged. In some cases, our investment themes ran counter to those favored by risk-seeking investors, or we entered into a position too early to fully capitalize on a realized outcome. We continue to believe that our Funds will benefit from these positions as our investment themes are recognized by the market. In other cases, we were just wrong, taking an exposure based on a view that was not ultimately borne out by the market.

Our 26 years of investing experience has shown us that through bull and bear markets, patience, skill and an eye on the long-term are required as we strive to achieve investment results that will best serve our clients. Short-term, this approach has produced mixed results, as some of our positions have been out-of-favor with the rest of the market; longer-term, we believe it has provided us with what we view to be some of our best opportunities to add value in our clients’ portfolios.

Over the past year or two, we have taken steps to further augment our broad spectrum of capabilities, with the goal of better positioning us to face the current unique challenges in the investing landscape, and to more easily adapt to those that may present themselves in the future. To that end, we have taken steps to enhance our equities and fixed income organizational structures, bringing in investment professionals that we believe have high-caliber expertise and track records of success in addressing some of the issues existing in today’s marketplace.

In 2008, we will stay the course—remaining confident in the consistency of our disciplined approach, and in what we view to be the fundamental value of our rigorous research and risk management processes. By doing so, we firmly believe that we will be better able to deliver, over time, the type of consistent results that will best position our clients to achieve their long-term investment goals.

Thank you for your continued support.

The markets in review

 

   

 

The following is an overview of the general economic and market environment during the 12 months ended December 31, 2007.

Global economic growth weakens

While it was fairly resilient during much of the reporting period, the US economy weakened toward the end of 2007. US gross domestic product (“GDP”) expanded only 0.6% during the first quarter of 2007. A variety of factors caused the economy to stumble, including the ongoing troubles in the housing market. The economy then picked up steam in the second quarter, with GDP growth of 3.8%, followed by 4.9% in the third quarter. This was due, in part, to strong consumer spending and increased exports. However, the advance estimate for GDP growth in the fourth quarter was a tepid 0.6%, owing to the combined effects of a weak housing market, issues related to subprime mortgages and tighter credit conditions. Economic growth overseas also moderated as the year progressed, triggered by the fallout from the weakening US economy, as well as high energy and food prices. According to the International Monetary Fund, global economic growth is expected to be 4.1% in 2008, versus an estimated 4.9% advance in 2007.

World stock markets generated mixed results

The US stock market was extremely volatile during the fiscal year. After generally posting positive returns early in the year, US equity prices fell sharply in June and July 2007. This was largely due to troubles in the housing market. Stock prices then began to rise in late August 2007, and continued to do so through October. This rebound was triggered by the Federal Reserve’s move to lower interest rates in an attempt to alleviate the credit crunch and avert a recession. Hopes for a continuation of the stock market’s rally then suddenly ended in November. Lackluster third quarter corporate profits, surging oil prices and continued fallout from the subprime mortgage market caused the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”), which is a bellwether for stock market performance, to fall 10% from its peak in October. All told, the Index returned 5.49% over the 12-month reporting period. The international equity markets outperformed their US counterparts during the 12 month period, as the MSCI EAFE Index gained 11.63%; emerging markets equities performed even better, with the MSCI EM Index rising 39.18%.1 International equity returns were supported by generally strong corporate profits and a weakening US dollar.

Bonds benefited from several “flights to quality”

As was the case with the stock market, bond prices were volatile during the fiscal year. Prices gyrated early in the reporting period, given changing expectations regarding economic growth, inflation and future Fed monetary policies. The escalating issues related to the bursting of the housing bubble and subprime mortgage meltdown triggered several “flights to quality,” during which investors flocked to the relative safety of high-quality government bonds. Looking at the 12-month period ended December 31, 2007, the overall bond market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 6.97%.2

Given overall positive solid economic growth and monetary tightening by many central banks, the international bond markets lagged their US counterparts. During the fiscal year, the JP Morgan Global Government Bond Index returned 5.99%.3 Bond investors who assumed greater risks generated slightly better results, as the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index—Global Diversified returned 6.16%.4

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 5.67%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Global Securities Relationship Fund Index (the “Index”), returned 8.78%. For comparison purposes, the MSCI World Free Index (net US) and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (WGBI) returned 9.35% and 10.95%, respectively. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s underperformance was primarily due to security selection, with currency positioning holding the Fund back slightly, as well.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Asset allocation decisions in emerging markets equities and our tactical high yield bond positioning contributed positively to returns during the period.

 

   

An overweight in the first half of the period to emerging markets equities helped performance as the asset class performed strongly during the period. In general, our analysis was showing that valuations in the asset class had become overly stretched. However, we recognized that there were market behavior supports for EME, which led us to gradually reduce our exposure more slowly than valuation alone would suggest. We ultimately moved to a neutral position in July and underweight in October.

 

   

After the high yield market sold off sharply in July, we increased our position in high yield to a neutral weight at the beginning of August. This position grew in value as the high yield market rebounded during August and September.

 

   

Stock selection in large cap growth equities added to returns.

 

   

Several currency positions produced strong results in the second half of the year. In the first half of the period, overweights to the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc were proving detrimental to Fund performance. For most of 2007, investors were rewarded for participating in the “carry trade”–a currency strategy that looks to profit by selling low-yielding currencies, and buying high yielding ones. However, our research indicated investors’ yield-seeking behavior was causing a significant valuation distortion in favor of high-yielding currencies, and against low-yielding currencies. We held firm, with the expectation that the carry trade would unwind at some point.

In fact, the carry trade reversed in the second half of the review period, as investors’ appetite for risk waned. Thus, our overweights to the Japanese yen and Swiss franc produced some of the largest contributions to Fund performance over the period. And, while the accomodative monetary policy instituted by many of the central banks later in the period helped to re-establish the carry-trade in December, we expect risk-seeking behavior will mediate over time, and continue to position the Fund to benefit from a further unwinding of the carry trade.

What didn’t work

 

   

Overall, security selection was the largest negative contributor to Fund returns during the period, particularly in the US bond, US equity and international equity components.

 

   

The performance of the US bond allocation was hurt by positions in asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities amid turmoil in the subprime market.

UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund

 

   

 

   

The US equity component underperformed its benchmark, primarily due to stock selection in financials and an underweight to energy. We continue to believe companies with a global scope are well-positioned to do well in a less liquid market environment, and therefore maintain an overweight in diversified financial companies. Within energy, we believe oil prices are significantly above our normal assumptions, and believe that they will return to more normal levels over time. However, this has led to increased spending by integrated oils, independent exploration and production companies and national oil companies. Therefore, while we continue to underweight the energy sector as a whole, we maintain an overweight to oil services companies.

 

   

The international equity component lagged the benchmark primarily due to weak stock selection in technology and materials.

 

   

A few asset allocation decisions detracted or were benign to the Fund’s performance.

 

   

We were underweight emerging markets debt, which hurt performance when this area of the market performed well over the period. Emerging markets debt was relatively unscathed by the turmoil in the credit markets.

 

   

Our overweight to US equities and underweight to non-US equities neither materially helped nor hurt the portfolio. This relative positioning was flat for the period.

 

   

In currency positioning, underweights to the euro and the Canadian dollar hindered returns.

UBS Emerging Markets Equity Completion Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Completion Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 50.39%. For comparison purposes, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net US) (the “Index”), returned 39.18%. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s outperformance was driven by strong stock selection across sectors during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Stock selection was a strong contributor to performance over the period. In particular, we saw strong returns from our holdings in Cia Vale Rio Doce, Petroleo Brasileiro, STX Pan Ocean Co., Reliance Industries, Samsung Engineering and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp.

 

   

Sector positioning in a number of areas enhanced the Fund’s results. For example, an overweight position in the energy sector and an underweight position in the information technology sector were beneficial to relative performance during the reporting period.

 

   

Overall country allocation helped the Fund’s performance. In particular, the Fund’s exposures in Russia, India and Israel enhanced the Fund’s relative performance during the fiscal year.

What didn’t work

 

 

 

Stock selection detracted in a few areas, such as utilities, software and services and autos and components. The largest negative contributors in these sectors included Tenaga Nasional(1), Infosys and Hyundai Motor(1).

 

   

Overall sector positioning somewhat hurt the Fund’s performance. During the reporting period, underweight positions in materials and industrials as well as an overweight in financials were negative contributors to relative performance. However, in each instance, this was more than offset by strong security selection within those sectors.

 

   

Exposures to select countries were a drag on the Fund’s relative results—particularly the Fund’s positioning in Malaysia and Egypt. Stock selection in Indonesia and Mexico was also negative for performance during the fiscal year, but offset to a large extent by over and underweight positions, respectively, in those markets.

Portfolio highlights

 

   

Energy stocks were among the best performing in 2007 on the back of record crude prices. Positive portfolio contributors included Cia Vale Rio Doce, Petroleo Brasileiro, and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp.

 

   

Samsung Engineering performed well through most of 2007 as a beneficiary of the oil boom fueling petrochem and oil/gas capital expenditures in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. Towards the end of the year the stock started to lag as investors took profits due to concerns about slowing global growth.

Hyundai Motor underperformed in 2007 as the market worried of pressure on margins due to cost inflation, a stronger South Korean Won currency and corporate governance issues. The company has also faced a number of labor relations issues. We are still cautious on the overall auto market in the US, a key market for Hyundai. As a result, we have chosen to stay out of the stock for now.

 

   

Infosys lagged in 2007, in line with the technology sector. As the second largest Indian IT services company and one of the fastest growing globally, we believe its longer-term outlook remains strong: the company is, in our view, well-positioned to benefit from the continuing trend towards offshoring, and is successfully moving up the value chain.

UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2007, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 42.48%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net US) (in USD) (the “Index”), returned 39.18%. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund outperformed due to stock selection and sector allocation.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Stock selection contributed positively to performance overall. The decisions to overweight China Cosco and STX Pan Ocean among industrials, and Petrobras in the energy sector were significant positive contributors. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector was rewarded, as well. (For details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”)

 

   

Sector allocation added to performance, particularly an underweight in industrials and an overweight in consumer discretionary stocks.

 

   

The Fund was underweight energy stocks for much of the year. This position benefited from avoiding overvalued stocks, and focusing on strong growth in China, India, Brazil and Thailand.

 

   

Our underweight to industrials also benefited the Fund. Capital goods stocks performed well due to demand from emerging economies such as China. We held what we believed were several attractively valued machinery companies. We also liked several stocks in the commercial services and supplies sub-sector.

 

   

An overweight to telecommunication services contributed positively to returns. We see superior growth prospects in this industry for a number of countries. One of our key themes in the portfolio relates to consumption. It is our view that emerging-market demographics will favor increased consumption for years to come, based on young populations, low penetration and low debt. In addition, our research indicates the existence of positive catalysts such as industry restructuring, which should help unlock value.

 

   

Country allocation was positive for the period.

 

   

Russia is attractive, in our view, due to a strong economy and undemanding valuations. It has several robust sectors, including banks, telecoms and commodities, that draw off strong domestic demand.

 

   

We also like India, and have an overweight position in this country. In India, our exposure is more diversified, covering a mixture of infrastructure, consumption and globalization-related stocks.

What didn’t work

 

   

Stock selection decisions in utilities, information technology, consumer staples and financials held back Fund returns for the period.

 

   

Our underweights in materials and utilities were the two biggest disappointments for the period. We believe these sectors demonstrate stretched valuations, and we maintain our positions.

 

26     

 


UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

   

The Fund was underweight to materials, which hindered returns during the period. The Fund’s strategy is geared away from stocks with the greatest sensitivity to commodity and oil prices, in favor of domestically driven names. We believe the current supply-demand imbalance will eventually correct. We expect that, as capacity additions are recognized and speculative flows leave the market, commodity prices and valuations will normalize. In anticipation of that, we hold select market leaders and low cost producers.

 

   

Our underweight to utilities negatively affected returns, as many of these names experienced gains during the period. However, we are having difficulty finding reasonable valuations among emerging market utilities, and cannot betray our price-to-intrinsic value discipline. The stocks have already performed well due to association with the energy sector, low long-term interest rates in the US and Europe, and a thirst for yield from investors. In addition, bid activity has buoyed prices up beyond fair value.

Portfolio Highlights

 

   

China Cosco was the strongest performer for the year. The company saw significant profit growth after it instituted higher shipping charges. Shares also increased sharply when the company raised close to $2 billion for its Shanghai exchange offering.

 

   

STX Pan Ocean was another successful overweight position. The Korean company’s stock rose after a surge in rates for carrying coal and iron ore.

 

   

Petrobras has been a successful oil play. The Brazilian company is the global leader in deep-water exploration and development. Shares of Petrobras rose as its oil output climbed to a record 2 million barrels per day.

 

   

Hon Hai Precision stock disappointed for the period. Brokers upgraded it based on expectations that profit may rise by a third. But fears of a slowdown in US consumer spending led shares to fall.

 

   

Cemex shares detracted from returns, largely due to the slump in the US housing market and fears that demand for building materials would recede. We believe the Mexican materials company is still exposed to the slowdown in the US housing market, and we therefore sold the position in the second half of the review period.

 

   

Kookmin Bank is the highest-quality Korean bank, and we expect it to lead the financial sector’s recovery. During the period, however, the stock was down over uncertainty about the sale of Korea Exchange Bank.

       Effective May 1, 2006, the Fund’s index was changed from MSCI Emerging Markets Index to MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net US) (in USD) because the      new benchmark is more reflective of the type of return investors receive when they hold shares of the Fund (that is net of dividend tax).

UBS Global ex U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund    

 

Portfolio performance

Since its inception on March 15, 2007 through December 31, 2007, UBS Global ex U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) declined 0.52%. For comparison purposes, the MSCI World ex-USA Index (the “Index”), returned 12.34%, while the Global ex-US Smaller Cap Index, defined as the lowest 5% (with respect to market capitalization) of the regional segments of the MSCI World ex-USA Index, declined 2.67%. (The Fund generally invests in companies that comprise the lowest 5% of the regional segments of the MSCI World ex-USA Index with respect to market capitalization.) (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s performance was positively affected by stock selection during the reporting period. In particular, in comparison to the lowest 5% of the regional segments of the MSCI World ex-USA Index, the Fund’s performance was positively impacted by stock selection. Sector positioning also enhanced results during the reporting period, albeit to a lesser extent.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Overall, the Fund’s holdings in the industrial and energy sectors generated the best relative performance during the reporting period. Within the industrials sector, SembCorp Marine, a commercial shipbuilder domiciled in Singapore, GEA Group, a European machinery and engineering group, and Auckland International Airports, a retail and airport operator based in New Zealand, generated strong results. In the energy sector, large contributors to performance included European oil and gas exploration companies Tullow Oil and Fugro.

What didn’t work

 

   

Overall, the Fund’s holdings in the materials, healthcare and financials sectors generated the weakest results during the reporting period. Within the materials sector, Rhodia, a specialty chemicals company, generated poor results. In the healthcare sector, Speedel, a biotech company specializing in hypertension compounds, hindered results, while Creed Corporation, a Japanese real estate management and development company performed poorly.

Portfolio Highlights

 

   

Tullow Oil benefited from drilling success in Ghana. We believe this highlights the exceptional exploration opportunities within the company’s portfolio. Management at Tullow Oil has been actively increasing its exposure to the Congo, which demonstrates its increased confidence in the region. Other key areas in its portfolio include the Rajastan province in India and Kudu, an offshore gas field near Namibia.

 

   

SembCorp Marine benefited from securing a number of contracts, ranging from oil rigs for an Egyptian drilling company to managing a shipyard in Rio Grande, Brazil. Its stock also reacted positively to delays in new capacity coming online.

Speedel is a research and development company that focuses on the discovery and development of drugs. The company then licenses the drugs to large pharmaceutical companies in order to leverage their marketing and distribution channels. Speedel’s stock declined due to uncertainty in revenue payments from Novartis. This was in connection with Tekturna, a new hypertension drug developed by Speedel.

 

   

LogicaCMG, a European software and consultancy business, saw its shares weaken earlier in the year due to unexpectedly weak profitability in the UK. To add to these concerns, there were a number of management changes that led to a lack of visibility. The company also experienced continued pressure throughout the fiscal year given the turmoil in the financial markets. Financial services companies are a major end-market for LogicaCMG.

UBS International Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS International Equity Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 6.93%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex US Index (net US) (the “Index”), returned 12.49%. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund lagged the Index largely due to stock selection—particularly those in the information technology, consumer staples and materials sectors.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

The Fund’s stock positions in the telecom sector, especially in Europe, added to returns. We remain focused on companies that generate high free cash flow, have strong market positions and acceptable debt loads. Success stories included Vodafone and France Telecom. We believe the market is overly concerned about the risks associated with greater competition, for example from VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), and further regulation in the industry, such as the European Commission’s pledge to lower mobile roaming charges. We believe the impact of any such developments will be slow to take effect. We also expect consolidation to continue, with increasing integration of wireless and wireline capabilities and the buyout of smaller firms.

 

   

The Fund’s stock selection in real estate contributed to performance. The largest positive contributor came from an overweight in Sun Hung Kai Properties. The shares have performed well as the Hong Kong economy has benefited from the economic boom in mainland China.

 

   

Stock selection in banks was also positive, offsetting the negative contribution from the overweight to the sector. Top performing positions included holding ABN Amro and Standard Chartered; while not holding HBOS, HSBC and Mizuho Financial Group also helped. Stock selection in insurance, including QBE, was a further positive.

What didn’t work

 

   

In information technology, stock selection hurt performance. In technology hardware and equipment, overweights to Ericsson, Canon and Hoya were disappointments, as was an underweight to Research in Motion. We believe hardware valuations are stretched and, therefore, we remain underweighted in this area. We are, however, finding what we believe are select opportunities—most notably in Japan, where we find the companies are well-positioned competitively and have strong business models.

 

   

Stock selection in software and services (notably an underweight in Nintendo) was also negative. Semiconductor stock selection was very strong, but insufficient to offset the negative return from the sector, which was one of the worst performers for the 12-month period. We believe semiconductor valuations are at historically attractive levels, and that demand will remain strong and well-diversified. We also see little risk of oversupply in the sector.

 

   

Consumer staples was a negative for the period, due largely to poor stock selection in food, beverage and tobacco. Positions in British American Tobacco, Imperial Tobacco and Gallaher detracted from performance. Consumer discretionary positions also hurt performance, driven by stock selection in autos and components, including Michelin, Bridgestone, Volkswagen and Honda.

UBS International Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

   

Stock selection and an underweight in the materials group held Fund performance back. In particular, holding Stora Enso and CRH, and not holding BHP Billiton, Potash, Bayer, BASF and Arcelormittal, disappointed. We maintain our underweight position in this area, as we view most materials stocks as being expensive. We believe the current supply-demand imbalance will eventually correct. We expect commodity prices and valuations to improve as capacity additions are recognized and speculative flows leave the market.

Portfolio Highlights

 

   

Vodafone Group contributed strongly to returns. We have been overweight Vodafone since before it announced guidance for 2007 ahead of consensus. The company led a group to win a mobile telecommunications license to operate in Qatar, the last Middle Eastern state to have only one license. Rival bidders included American telecom companies AT&T and Verizon. We believe the company offers long-term growth, is highly cash-generative and intends to return a significant proportion of its free cash flow to shareholders via a large share buyback program. We also believe that it will not make value-destroying acquisitions.

 

   

France Télécom was a good performer during the year. Its stock price benefited when it announced the sale of Orange Netherlands to Deutsche Telekom for an estimated $1.84 billion. European telecom companies are working to consolidate their businesses in a bid to move into the emerging markets area. At the end of August, the company said it was in negotiations with Apple regarding its iPhone. Also in August, the company reported first-half results that were ahead of consensus, and management went on to reiterate guidance for the full year. We believe France Télécom is one of the most attractively valued companies in its sector, with more robust earnings visibility than that of its peers. We also believe cost-savings initiatives will make it more competitive.

 

   

Bank of Ireland was a drag on returns. The entire banking industry was affected on concerns about the US banking sector, problems in the sub-prime market and rising interest rates.

 

   

Barclays declined during the period, on news that house prices in the UK had fallen in December. It also suffered from the market’s worries about the effects of the credit squeeze. In addition, Goldman Sachs lowered its recommendation on the stock amid credit concerns.

UBS Small-Cap Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS Small-Cap Equity Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) declined 0.31%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (the “Index”), declined 1.57%. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund limited losses relative to its benchmark, largely due to very strong stock selection. Industry positioning detracted slightly from returns.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Stock selection was the main engine driving the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Index. During the period, Walter Industries, a construction firm, and Dollar Financial Corp. were among our top performers.

 

   

Our bottom-up security selection process resulted in industry weights that contributed positively to returns.

 

   

The Fund benefited from an overweight to mining and metals stocks. We continue to monitor the fundamentals associated with these companies, as concerns of a prolonged slowdown in the housing market could weigh on some holdings.

 

   

The Fund is heavily overweighted to industrial parts stocks relative to its benchmark. This reflects a bullish stance on infrastructure spending and continued nonresidential-construction spending. We view infrastructure spending to be on the rise, and have found several companies well positioned to benefit from this trend.

 

   

The Fund’s underweight to banking stocks, particularly to smaller banks, positively affected performance. We believe many banks appear to be expensive in the face of deteriorating fundamentals, particularly interest margin and credit headwinds. We prefer to access financial exposure through the nonbank financial services segment of the sector.

What didn’t work

 

   

The Fund’s overweight position in equity REITs hampered returns during the period. However, the Fund’s exposure in this sector is less about housing and more about specific urban, upscale hotels in the northeast and western United States, where we believe markets are built out and pricing power remains intact. The Fund continues to hold this overweight position, as we believe the market will bear out our estimate of valuation.

 

   

Energy remains one of the Fund’s largest industry underweights, particularly energy reserves stocks. The Fund’s limited exposure to these stocks hurt us during the period, as continued strength in commodity prices, coupled with investors’ search for the prospects of more stable growth companies, led many toward this sector. However, we believe our bearish view on long-run oil prices will be borne out by the market, causing the group to suffer. Oil price volatility remains, and, while we are still well-above our normal price, tight spare capacity and concerns over supply interruptions in Iran, Iraq and Nigeria continue to linger. The Fund remains underweight in this space.

 

     47

 


UBS Small-Cap Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

   

An overweight to specialty retailers detracted from returns. This group suffered along with the entire retailing sector, and our position detracted from the Fund’s performance. We continue to see opportunities for specialty or niche players in the retail space to outperform. We have allocated additional exposure to such companies, and have reduced the size of the Fund’s underweights to other segments of the retail sector on a stock-by-stock basis.

UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.82%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the “Index”), returned 5.77%. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s underperformance was due to industry factors, with stock selection slightly detracting from performance as well.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Stock selection in the Fund had some successes on both the long and the short side during the period. Bank of New York Mellon, Medco Health Solutions and BorgWarner were among the Fund’s top performers. (For details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”)

 

   

Several industry weights contributed positively to Fund returns.

 

   

The Fund’s underweight to specialty retailers was the largest positive contributor to performance. This strategy was consistent with our belief that the consumer sectors may continue to face difficulty in a potential recession. Uncertainty regarding interest rates, fuel prices, the housing market and the near-term health of the economy is weighing heavily on the consumer. A crisis in consumer confidence led to underperformance by consumer discretionary names, with the retailing segment among the hardest hit. As specialty retailers lagged during the period, the Fund benefited from reduced exposure to these stocks.

 

   

The Fund’s overweight to motor vehicles and parts drove performance, as well. The overweight has more to do with company specific opportunities within the industry than a broader theme. We find companies in the space that have diversified their client base away from the US auto makers to be well positioned. Combining that with a focus on improving the engine efficiency during this period of rising energy prices has attracted a lot of positive attention toward these companies.

 

   

The Fund underweighted computer hardware companies. In the technology space, we have identified only a handful of companies with what we view to be sustainable, dominant positions. We have found more value in some semiconductor-related companies, and have taken opportunities during the year to add exposure to the sub sector.

What didn’t work

 

   

Industry selection as a whole was the biggest detractor from Fund performance.

 

   

The Fund’s overweight to banks had the biggest negative impact on performance over the period. While our strategy of underweighting smaller, more regional banks, brokers and real estate has helped, it has been more than offset by being overweight the large, more diversified global banking franchises. Based on the stock price volatility in financial stocks over the past few months, it is clear investors, and in some cases the companies themselves, are having a difficult time correctly evaluating the impact of the credit deterioration and subprime mortgage fallout on their respective businesses. As new information comes out regarding these companies and their

UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund

 

   

 

 

respective exposures, it provides incrementally more clarity to the situation. In the meantime, overreactions affecting stock prices to the downside are common, and the price movement of these global franchises has had a negative impact on the performance of the portfolio. We believe this will correct itself over the course of time, as we believe many of these stocks are significantly underpriced relative to their fundamentals.

 

   

An underweight to energy reserves contributed to the Fund’s underperformance. Energy stocks have continued their very strong performance. Oil prices have been volatile. They are near all-time highs, and continue to be well above our normal assumptions. As demand normalizes, non-OPEC supply continues to grow and major capacity expansions in OPEC come online, we believe concerns over OPEC spare capacity will lessen. Key swing factors will continue to be demand growth in China and the US. We believe that as oil prices normalize at lower levels than where we are today, energy stock prices in general will underperform other segments of the US equity market, which is why we are underweight the sector.

 

   

In materials, the Fund’s underweight to mining and metals stocks hurt performance. We have seen earnings growth driven by the run-up in underlying commodity prices. Growth in demand and speculative buying are having an outsized impact on commodity prices. We expect, and are seeing signs of, a significant supply response (that is, additional supplies becoming available). Historically, capital expenditures, which have soared since 2005, have led output by two years. Over time, we expect commodity prices to fall as supply becomes available and as pure speculators look elsewhere. We expect that the earnings in this sector will deteriorate rapidly when there is a correction in the underlying commodity prices. We maintain the Fund’s underweight to the materials sector.

Portfolio Highlights

 

   

Bank of New York Mellon was the top-performing long stock position for the period. The company’s shares traded higher after the Federal Reserve decided to hold off on additional rate hikes. Mellon continues to provide a wide array of products and services, and has recently announced additional retail product offerings. We believe the bank can achieve above-market revenue and earnings growth. Combining with Bank of New York has made the company one of the top custody service providers for institutional investors, and created one of the largest asset managers.

 

   

Medco Health Solutions also contributed to the Fund’s performance in the period. The Fund is long the stock, because we believe the company is positioned to benefit from several favorable trends affecting the pharmacy benefit management industry. Specifically, Medco Health is looking to increase its generic drug penetration as patents expire, and also to pursue continued growth in the mail order pharmacy and specialty pharmacy business. The company is well positioned in this industry, given the pressures on competitors due to acquisitions.

 

   

BorgWarner traded higher during the period, as well. The company said its third-quarter profit more than doubled on strong global demand for fuel-efficient engine and drivetrain technology. Additionally, BorgWarner said that it anticipates $1.95 billion in new powertrain business between 2008 and 2010 on increased demand for items including turbochargers and dual-clutch transmission technology. The forecast is a 15% increase over its prior three-year new business figures.

 

   

Among the Fund’s short positions, Sears Holding Corp. was one of the top contributors to performance over the period. Retail sales posted their steepest drop in nearly two years in June, indicating that the housing market slump and soaring gasoline costs are depressing consumer spending.

UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund

 

   

 

 

We continue to short the stock and believe that the company has been losing market share for a long time. The perception of the company’s Kenmore and Craftsman brands has declined, and competitors are proving they can sell a lot of appliances and provide similar service levels.

 

   

Sprint Nextel detracted from returns. Though the stock underperformed after a management change, we believe the new leadership will make the operating adjustments necessary to allow the combined company to emerge as a differentiated wireless service provider. We believe the merged company will improve its network quality and customer service, and these enhancements will result in lower customer churn. Though the merger integration has resulted in a larger number of customer losses than expected, we expect the merger to yield significant long-term benefits to the combined company.

 

   

FedEx hindered the Fund’s performance after the company announced a 5.5% increase in its Freight rates, after increasing FedEx Express and FedEx Ground rates. The market worries that FedEx may have to pay back taxes in the amount of $319 million due to the tax classification of the company’s drivers. We remain confident that the fundamentals are intact despite recent price weakness. We believe the market consensus is overlooking FedEx’s growth potential and cash flow-generating potential, and we are long the stock.

 

   

Symantec, a security software maker, detracted from performance as shares fell over 9% in December. The producer of the popular Norton anti-virus software is facing an increasingly difficult product landscape and higher competition for market share. We remain confident in our long position, as the performance of the company is solid and in line with our thesis. Symantec’s revenues and bookings are steadily growing, the balance sheet is improving on a year-over-year basis, and cash flow generation is strong.

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.95%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the “Index”), returned 5.77%. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s underperformance was largely due to stock selection, with industry decisions contributing as well.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

 

 

Stock selection in the Fund had some successes. During the period, Bank of New York Mellon, Exxon Mobil and Amazon.com(1) were among our top performers. (For details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”)

 

   

Several industry positions contributed positively to Fund returns. These included overweights to oil services and electric utilities, as well as an underweight to specialty retailers relative to the Index.

 

   

The Fund’s overweight to oil services was the largest industry group gain during the period. Years of underinvestment and increased capital intensity, combined with heightened demand from emerging markets, is expected to provide above-average earnings and cash flow growth in the energy sector. A shortage of equipment and people to develop, maintain and service rigs, especially in offshore environments, in our view, will support a long cycle of pricing power driving a sustainable cycle of worldwide drilling and infrastructure spending.

 

   

The Fund’s overweight to electric utilities was a positive contributor to performance. We have viewed the utility opportunity as fourfold: First, unregulated nuclear power plants are the low-cost providers in a high-rate environment. Second, regulated coal plants are the low-cost coal providers. If there is a carbon tax, the regulated plants can pass that on to consumers. Third, transmission is an underbuilt area that is generally regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). FERC is providing attractive incentives for a build-out of the nation’s electric transmission system, and utilities get much better pricing under FERC regulation. Fourth, gas infrastructure build—including pipelines and liquid natural gas terminals—generates high returns.

 

   

The Fund’s underweight to specialty retailers helped Fund performance, as well. This strategy was consistent with our belief that the consumer sectors may continue to face difficulty in a potential recession. Uncertainty regarding interest rates, fuel prices, the housing market and the near-term health of the economy is weighing heavily on the consumer. A crisis in consumer confidence led to underperformance by consumer discretionary names, with the retailing segment among the hardest hit. As specialty retailers lagged during the period, we benefited from reduced exposure to these stocks.

What didn’t work

 

   

Overall, stock selection was the biggest detractor from Fund performance. During the period, Sprint Nextel, Symantec and Wyeth underperformed. (For details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”)

Industry selection held us back, as well. While the subprime crisis has had a negative impact on balance sheet strength, we find banks very attractive at current levels.

 

   

The Fund’s overweight to banks had the biggest negative impact on performance over the period. Though these stocks did not perform as well as we expected, we continue to overweight banks. The investment banking cycle in the US is entering the mature phase. Their attractiveness, in our opinion, remains, but comes from more global sources, and we believe these companies should continue to derive attractive growth and returns from these platforms. Additionally, we expect merger and acquisition activity to continue for the next few years.

 

   

An underweight to energy reserves contributed to the Fund’s underperformance. Energy stocks have continued their very strong performance. Oil prices have been volatile. They are near all-time highs, and continue to be well above our normal assumptions. As demand normalizes, non-OPEC supply continues to grow and major capacity expansions in OPEC come online, we believe concerns over OPEC spare capacity will lessen. Key swing factors will continue to be demand growth in China and the US. We believe that as oil prices normalize at lower levels than where we are today, energy stock prices in general will underperform other segments of the US equity market, which is why we are underweight the sector.

 

   

The Fund was underweighted to defense and aerospace stocks. Our underweight to this area was driven off of unattractive valuations, not any underlying fundamental weakness of the sector.

Portfolio Highlights

 

   

Bank of New York Mellon was the top performing stock position for the period. The company’s shares traded higher after the Federal Reserve decided to hold off on additional rate hikes. Mellon continues to provide a wide array of products and services, and has recently announced additional retail product offerings. We believe the bank can achieve above-market revenue and earnings growth. Combining with Bank of New York has made the company one of the top custody service providers for institutional investors, and created one of the largest asset managers.

 

   

Exxon Mobil contributed to Fund performance during the period. Shares rose after the company was upgraded and crude oil prices crossed $100 per barrel. Exxon Mobil is the most consistent company among the large-cap integrated oils group worldwide. Capital discipline has long been the hallmark of Exxon.

 

   

Amazon.com was a positive performer during the period. The market continues to reward the online retailer. The company is beginning to mine the incredible infrastructure that made its empire so vast and scalable. In addition to helping other entrepreneurs make their own businesses more robust, Amazon.com saw that the money it invested in its own technological infrastructure could also be a source of recurring revenue. The company’s stock price was boosted when it released its on-line digital music business during the period.

 

   

Sprint Nextel detracted from the Fund’s performance. Though the stock underperformed after a management change, we believe the new leadership will make the operating adjustments necessary to allow the combined company to emerge as a differentiated wireless service provider. We believe the merged company will improve its network quality and customer service, and these enhancements should result in lower customer churn. Though the merger integration has resulted in a larger number of customer losses than expected, we expect the merger to yield significant long-term benefits to the combined company.

Symantec, a security software maker, detracted from Fund performance as shares fell over 9% in December. The producer of the popular Norton anti-virus software is facing an increasingly difficult product landscape and higher competition for market share. We remain confident in our position, as the performance of the company is solid and in line with our thesis. Symantec’s revenues and bookings are steadily growing, the balance sheet is improving on a year-over-year basis, and cash flow generation is strong.

 

   

Wyeth shares detracted from Fund performance. The Food and Drug Administration declined to approve the company’s planned successor to its blockbuster antidepressant Effexor XR, which loses patent protection in 2008. We continue to hold a position in the stock and believe that among big pharmaceutical companies, Wyeth faces the fewest patent expirations over the next five years. Furthermore, the company derives approximately 35% of revenues from the sale of biotechnology products, where a regulatory pathway for generic drug approval has not yet been defined.

UBS Large Cap Growth Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS Large Cap Growth Equity Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 17.72%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Index”), returned 11.81%. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s outperformance was due largely to stock selection. Industry positioning was also beneficial to performance, albeit to a lesser extent.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Stock selection was the main engine driving the Fund’s outperformance. During the period, Apple, MasterCard, Wynn Resorts, Express Scripts, International Game Technology and Las Vegas Sands Corp. were among our top performers. (For details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”)

 

   

Stock selection in hotels and leisure produced some of our strongest results. As a whole, the hotel and leisure industry, along with other consumer discretionary industries, suffered during the period, and the Fund’s overweight to this group hurt performance. However, strong stock selection in this area more than made up for this, resulting in an overall positive contribution to performance. In particular, we saw strong returns from our positions in Wynn Resorts and Las Vegas Sands Corp., as well as from International Game Technology. We continue to have conviction in the names we hold.

 

   

In computers and peripherals, Apple performed strongly, ultimately turning in the strongest performance over the period.

 

   

Our bottom-up security selection process resulted in industry weights that contributed positively to returns. These included underweights to specialty retailers and department stores, as well as overweights to energy reserves and Internet stocks, relative to the Index.

 

   

The Fund’s underweight to specialty retailers was a solid contributor to performance. This strategy was consistent with our belief that the consumer sectors may continue to face difficulty in a potential recession. Uncertainty regarding interest rates, fuel prices, the housing market and the near-term health of the economy is weighing heavily on the consumer. Falling consumer confidence led to underperformance by consumer discretionary names, with the auto and retailer segments among the hardest hit. As specialty retailers lagged during the period, the Fund benefited from reduced exposure to these stocks.

 

   

In energy, an overweight produced positive results. Years of underinvestment and increased capital intensity, combined with heightened demand from emerging markets, is expected to provide above-average earnings and cash flow growth in the energy sector. A shortage of equipment and people to develop, maintain and service rigs, especially in offshore environments, in our view, will support a long-term cycle of pricing power. We also believe this will drive a sustainable cycle of worldwide drilling and infrastructure spending.

At the stock level, energy reserves stocks, including Apache Corp., and oil services stocks, such as Weatherford International, generated positive returns.

 

70     

 


UBS Large Cap Growth Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

   

Our positions in Internet companies helped performance. The market weakness provided us with the opportunity to increase the Fund’s exposure to these stocks at attractive prices. We are focused on companies that have excellent growth prospects, attractive risk/reward profiles, and strong prospects for above-average free cash flow yield and growth rates. We increased the Fund’s exposure to both elite growth as well as classic growth companies. Specific stocks that generated positive results included Google and eBay.

What didn’t work

 

 

 

Select stock positions detracted from performance during the year. In particular, Genentech, Monster Worldwide(1), McGraw Hill Companies, Broadcom and ITT Educational Services hurt performance.

 

   

Both an underweight to semiconductors and select stock positions within this group negatively affected returns during the period. This group as a whole performed strongly over the period, and the Fund’s performance was dampened by both our underweight to Intel and overweight to Broadcom.

 

   

The Fund’s overweight to financial services firms detracted from performance. Financials had an exceptionally difficult time in the face of an unprecedented credit crisis and were, on average, among the worst performers across indexes. Credit concerns fuelled a move away from financials, whose stock prices declined. Investors flocked instead to areas of the market perceived to be less sensitive to tightening credit.

Portfolio Highlights

 

   

Apple Inc shares appreciated during the year, reflecting increased optimism surrounding continued share gains in the portable music, phone and PC categories.

 

   

MasterCard was one of the top contributors to performance during the period. The company’s performance has reflected expectations that the company should continue to benefit from the shift from cash to plastic, and from increased cross-border transactions. In addition, the company’s cost growth should remain below revenue growth. We expect the market for card association fees to double in approximately eight years due to the global growth of consumer credit and global wealth creation. MasterCard is poised to benefit from these trends, as the credit card network industry is a natural oligopoly.

 

   

Wynn Resorts is a developer, owner and operator of destination casino resorts. Its stock price increased as the market embraced the full earnings power of the company. Wynn’s Macau property and Las Vegas property continue to exceed expectations. Additionally, Wynn has an extensive list of plans for future projects, including Encore Las Vegas, Diamond Suites at Wynn Macau, a 52-acre site in Cotai and development of a 142-acre Las Vegas golf course. We believe that Wynn is also well-positioned to participate in potential new gaming jurisdictions that may arise.

Genentech was one of our biggest disappointments for the year. An FDA panel considering the approval of Avastin for metastatic breast cancer narrowly voted against approval (5-4). We believe the company’s current stock price does not accurately reflect its long-term prospects.

 

   

Monster Worldwide is an online advertiser of job listings. The company’s services allow its corporate clients to reach the widest possible audience when trying to fill a position. Monster Worldwide benefits from a high incremental margin model and secular growth in its US and international markets as help wanted advertising shifts away from newspapers toward the Internet. Its stock reacted negatively to macro data that the US services market is slowing, and this hampered the Fund’s performance. This position was no longer held as of period end.

 

   

McGraw Hill is a global information services company that provides credit ratings, financial index products, textbooks, educational services, television broadcasting, and media content. The stock underperformed the market during the year on concerns about the degree of slowdown in revenue growth from rating leveraged loans, high yield bonds, collateralized debt obligations and subprime residential mortgage backed securities given the turmoil in the capital markets. The prospect of upcoming regulatory hearings and litigation that could materially impair the profitability of McGraw Hill’s credit rating business as a result of the company’s poor structured credit ratings performance hurt the stock as well.

UBS U.S. Large-Cap Value Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS U.S. Large-Cap Value Equity Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.25%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Index”), declined 0.17%. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s outperformance during the period was largely attributable to the Fund’s industry positions, as well as good stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Stock selection in the Fund had some successes. During the period, Medco Health Solutions, Northern Trust Corp. and BorgWarner were among our top performers. (For details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”)

 

   

Several industry overweights contributed positively to returns. These included large positions in oil services, electric utilities, and motor vehicles and parts stocks relative to the Index.

 

   

The Fund’s overweight to oil services stocks was the largest positive contributor to performance. Though we are underweight the energy sector (see “What didn’t work” for more on this), we believe opportunities exist within oil services, as several years of above mid-cycle oil prices lead to increased spending by major integrated oils, independent exploration and production companies, and national oil companies.

 

   

An overweight to electric utilities drove performance, as well. Over the last few years, utilities have been among the hardest-working sectors. We view the utility opportunity as fourfold: First, unregulated nuclear power plants are the low-cost providers in a high-rate environment. Second, regulated coal plants are the low-cost coal providers. If there is a carbon tax, the regulated plants can pass that on to consumers. Third, transmission is an underbuilt area that is generally regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). FERC is providing attractive incentives for buildout of transmission, and utilities get much better pricing under FERC regulation. Fourth, gas infrastructure build—including pipelines and liquid natural gas terminals—generates high returns.

 

   

The Fund overweighted motor vehicles and parts companies. This area provided us with what we viewed to be an excellent opportunity, as the parts companies were, in our opinion, much better positioned relative to the US auto manufacturers.

What didn’t work

 

   

Stock selection detracted slightly from Fund performance. During the period, Sprint Nextel, Symantec and FedEx underperformed. (For details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”)

 

   

Industry selection held us back, as well. In particular, the Fund’s underweights to energy reserves and oil refining stocks, and its overweight to banks, detracted from performance.

 

   

Underweights to energy stocks, particularly energy reserves and oil refiners, had the biggest negative impact on performance over the period. Energy stocks have continued their very strong performance. Oil prices have been volatile. They are near all-time highs, and continue to be well above our normal assumptions. As demand normalizes, non-OPEC supply continues to grow and major capacity expansions in OPEC come online, we believe concerns over OPEC spare capacity will lessen. A key swing factor will continue to be demand growth in China and the US. We believe that as oil prices normalize at lower levels than where we are today, energy stock prices in general will underperform other segments of the US equity market, which is why we are underweight the sector.

 

     77

 


UBS U.S. Large-Cap Value Equity Relationship Fund

 

   

 

   

Our large overweight to banks contributed to the Fund’s underperformance. Though these stocks did not perform as well as we expected, we continue to overweight banks. The investment banking cycle in the U.S. is entering the mature phase. Their attractiveness, in our opinion, remains, but comes from more global sources, and we believe these companies should continue to derive attractive growth and returns from these platforms. While the subprime crisis had a negative impact on balance sheet strength, we find banks very attractive at current levels.

Portfolio Highlights

 

   

Medco Health Solutions contributed to Fund performance in the period. We believe the company is positioned to benefit from several favorable trends affecting the pharmacy benefit management industry. Specifically, Medco Health is looking to increase its generic penetration as patents expire, and also to pursue continued growth in the mail order pharmacy and specialty pharmacy business. The company is well positioned in this industry, given the pressures on competitors due to acquisitions.

 

   

Northern Trust contributed to Fund performance, as well. Northern Trust is a well-diversified investment management, custody and administration, and private banking company that we believe will continue to grow revenue through high client service and expertise. We continue to overweight Northern Trust in the portfolio.

 

   

BorgWarner traded higher during the period. The company said its third-quarter profit more than doubled on strong global demand for fuel-efficient engine and drivetrain technology. Additionally, BorgWarner said that it anticipates $1.95 billion in new powertrain business between 2008 and 2010 on increased demand for items including turbochargers and dual-clutch transmission technology. The forecast is a 15% increase over its prior three-year new business figures.

 

   

Sprint Nextel was the largest stock-specific detractor for the period. Though the stock underperformed after a management change, we believe the new leadership will make the operating adjustments necessary to allow the combined company to emerge as a differentiated wireless service provider. We believe the merged company will improve its network quality and customer service, and these enhancements will result in lower customer churn. Though the merger integration has resulted in a larger number of customer losses than expected, we expect the merger to yield significant long-term benefits to the combined company.

 

   

Symantec, a security software maker, detracted from Fund performance as shares fell over 9% in December. The producer of the popular Norton anti-virus software is facing an increasingly difficult product landscape and higher competition for market share. We remain confident in our position, as the performance of the company is solid and in line with our thesis. Symantec’s revenues and bookings are steadily growing, the balance sheet is improving on a year-over-year basis, and cash flow generation is strong.

 

   

FedEx hindered the Fund’s performance after the company announced a 5.5% increase in its Freight rates, after increasing FedEx Express and FedEx Ground rates. The market worries that FedEx may have to pay back taxes in the amount of $319 million due to the tax classification of the company’s drivers. We remain confident that the fundamentals are intact despite recent price weakness. We believe the market consensus is overlooking FedEx’s growth potential and cash flow-generating potential, and we are long the stock.

UBS U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

Since its inception on March 15, 2007 through December 31, 2007, UBS U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 0.70%. For comparison purposes, the MSCI World Index (the “Index”) returned 9.60%, while the U.S. Smaller Cap Index, defined as the lowest 5% (with respect to market capitalization) of the US segment of the MSCI World Index, declined 5.26%. (The Fund generally invests in companies that comprise the lowest 5% of the US segment of the MSCI World Index with respect to market capitalization.) (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

Compared to the lowest 5% of the US segments of the MSCI World Index, the Fund’s performance was positively impacted by stock selection. Sector positioning also enhanced results during the reporting period, albeit to a lesser extent.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

 

 

Overall, the Fund’s holdings in the financials, media and leisure, and consumer durables and retailing sectors generated the best relative performance during the reporting period. In financials, Janus Capital Group,(1) a global asset management company, and New York Community Bancorp, a regional banking company with operations in and around the New York metropolitan area, boosted returns. In media and leisure, Dow Jones & Co.,(1) a business news and information provider, and Discovery Holdings, a media management and network services company, enhanced results. In consumer durables and retailing, Advance Auto Parts, an auto parts and accessories retailer, and Tiffany & Co., (1) a jewelery retailer, were positive contributors to performance.

 

   

Other stocks that enhanced performance included Activision, an entertainment software company, and Western Digital Corp. a designer and manufacturer of hard drives for desktops and other applications.

What didn’t work

 

   

Overall, the Fund’s holdings in industrials and consumer non-durables generated the weakest relative results during the reporting period. In the industrials sector, Oshkosh Truck Corp., a manufacturer and supplier of fire, emergency, military and other government contract vehicles, detracted from performance. In consumer non-durables, Tyson Foods, a meat products firm with facilities across the US, detracted from results.

 

   

Other stocks that detracted from performance included Convergys, a commercial services company specialising in outsourcing customer care, human resources and billing. Elsewhere, Sanmina-SCI Corp., a provider of expertise in new product introductions, system assembly and integration involving complex circuit fabrication, hindered the Fund’s performance.

Portfolio Highlights

 

   

Activision benefited from an announcement to merge with Vivendi Games earlier in the year. The focus of the merger was to gain greater scale and margin improvement. In addition, Activision’s products continued to gain traction with impressive sales growth over the holiday season for several key releases.

This position was not held by the Fund as of December 31, 2007.

UBS U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund

 

   

 

   

Dow Jones & Co. benefited from the tender offer by News Corp. The initial offer was announced in May 2007 at a premium of over 69% to the previous day’s close. This position was not held by the Fund as of December 31, 2007.

 

   

Oshkosh Truck Corp. experienced revenue pressures from the commercial truck business due to weaker sales in European refuse and US concrete mixers. In addition, it was hurt by lower than expected growth in defense spending.

 

   

Tyson Foods’ management lowered 2007 guidance due to higher than expected live cattle costs, and lower revenues due to increasing overseas competition. Industry dynamics remained challenging with input cost volatility, increased competition and the lack of supply discipline.

UBS Absolute Return Investment Grade Bond Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS Absolute Return Investment Grade Bond Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) declined 7.32%, compared to the 4.69% return of the Merrill Lynch US Treasury Notes and Bonds 0-3 Month Index and the 5.52% return of the US LIBOR 3-Month Index (the “Index”). (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s underperformance was primarily due to security selection and sector allocations, in particular among mortgage-related securities.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Overall, our yield curve and derivative positioning contributed to the Fund’s relative performance.

 

   

During the first half of the fiscal year, the Treasury yield curve (which represents the relationship among yields of similar bonds of differing maturities) moved from being inverted (when shorter-maturity bonds pay a higher rate than longer-maturity bonds) to upward sloping (when longer-maturity bonds pay a higher rate). We successfully negotiated this changing environment.

 

   

For the second half of the fiscal year, the portfolio had no active duration position. Therefore duration had little impact on performance during the flight to quality that occurred during that period. However, positive contributions resulted from a long two-year/short 10-year steepening trade. (A steepening trade will profit from a change in the yield curve where the difference between the yield on a longer-term and shorter-term Treasury has increased.) This was beneficial to performance as the yield curve steepened, as the spread between the yield on short- and long-term Treasuries increased as short-term rates declined more than their longer-term counterparts.

What didn’t work

 

   

Sector allocation was a negative contributor to performance during the reporting period.

 

   

Our large allocations to mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS), as well as our allocations to investment grade corporate bonds, had a negative impact on performance as these sectors underperformed Treasuries during the fiscal year.

 

   

Security selection within home equity ABS and MBS detracted from performance.

 

   

Security selection within ABS was the largest detractor of performance during the fiscal year. In particular, our high-quality home equity ABS securities were negatively impacted as investor’s concerns escalated due to the number and magnitude of defaults in the subprime mortgage market.

 

   

Security selection within the MBS sector was negative due to our exposure to agency MBS and high-quality, prime, non-agency MBS. These securities performed poorly as investor’s risk aversion increased.

The views and opinions in the letter were current as of February 15, 2008. They are not guarantees of performance or investment results and should not be taken as investment advice.

UBS Corporate Bond Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS Corporate Bond Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.25%. For comparison purposes, the Lehman Brothers US Credit Index (the “Index”) returned 5.11% during the same time period. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The key driver behind the Fund’s performance during the period was issue selection.

Portfolio performance summary

 

   

The Fund invests in corporate bonds and high quality government-related securities, which include agencies, supranationals and sovereigns.

 

   

During the first six months of the fiscal year, we did not believe we were being appropriately compensated for the associated risks in the corporate bond market. In fact, the risk premium investors were demanding for investment grade debt remained at near historic lows and, we felt, did not account for an apparent increase in event risks (for example, leveraged buyouts, re-leveraging balance sheets). Within investment grade corporate bonds, we continued to own shorter-dated maturities and remained focused in the three- to seven-year part of the yield curve.

 

   

Corporate bond spreads widened as the reporting period progressed. (The spread is the difference between the yield paid on US Treasury bonds and higher risk securities.) This was caused by increased investor risk aversion that was, in part, triggered by the fallout in the subprime mortgage market and the seizing of the credit markets.

 

     We viewed this spread widening as an opportunity to add to the Fund’s positions in the financial and banking sectors. In fact, for many banks, risk premiums, as measured by option-adjusted spreads, widened to levels not seen since early the 1990s. (An option-adjusted spread is an instrument’s current spread over a given benchmark, minus that component of the spread that is attributable to the cost of any embedded options.)

 

   

Given continued uncertainties in the corporate bond market, our strategy in this environment is to focus on issue selection.

UBS High Yield Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS High Yield Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.77%. The Fund’s benchmark, the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index (the “Index”), returned 2.50% over the same time period. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. Security selection had the most significant positive impact on the Fund’s relative performance. In contrast, sector allocation, overall, was a drag on performance.

Overall, security selection enhanced the Fund’s relative performance. In particular, the Fund’s positions in the diversified financial services sector, along with the Funds’ paper-related holdings, enhanced relative results during the reporting period.

 

   

In diversified financial services, we did not hold bonds from issuers that were the most severely impacted by the problems in the subprime mortgage market.

 

   

In the paper-related sector, our holdings in Abitibi and Bowater, two dominant newspaper producers, contributed to performance.

 

   

The Fund’s out-of-Index exposure to US Treasuries was beneficial to performance. As investor risk aversion increased during the review period, Treasury prices rose significantly. Additionally, the Fund further benefited when the spread between high yield bonds and US Treasuries widened significantly.

 

   

In a number of instances, sector allocations contributed to performance. The Fund’s underweight positions in home builders/real estate and automobile/ automobile parts distributors enhanced the Fund’s relative results.

 

   

Home builders/real estate companies suffered due to the bursting of the housing bubble and subprime-related issues.

 

   

Automobile-related high yield securities were weak due to company-specific issues and concerns regarding the economy and consumer spending.

 

   

Our cautious approach to the high yield market was beneficial during investor flights to quality. In general, we maintained a conservative stance for the Fund during the fiscal year, by maintaining an emphasis on higher rated high yield bonds. While this strategy was not rewarded during the first half of the period, it enhanced results later in the year as the fallout from the subprime mortgage market triggered several flights to quality. For the reporting period as a whole, lower rated high yield bonds lagged their higher rated counterparts.

What didn’t work

 

   

Overall, sector allocation was a negative contributor to performance.

 

   

While security selection in diversified financial services enhanced the Fund’s relative result, our overweight in the sector versus the benchmark was a drag on performance.

Underweights to the strong performing energy and healthcare sectors detracted from relative performance. Early in the fiscal year, our analysis determined that these sectors were richly valued. While we added to our exposures in these sectors when their prices fell in the second half of the reporting period, overall, our underweight was detrimental to results.

 

   

Security selection in a number of sectors detracted from results.

 

   

Security selection in the banks and thrifts sector negatively impacted the Fund. In particular, Washington Mutual hurt the Fund’s performance versus the Index.

 

   

While the Fund benefited from its underweight in the home builder/real estate sector, security selection detracted from Fund performance.

The Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index is the index of publicly placed non-convertible, coupon-bearing US domestic 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.

UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 8.92%. For comparison purposes, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index—Global and the Emerging Markets Debt Benchmark Index(1) (the “Index”) returned 6.28% and 9.63%, respectively. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund is managed to provide opportunistic emerging markets debt exposure to broader portfolios and, therefore, is not managed relative to a benchmark. Security selection is the primary source of return generation, as overall exposures, including duration, are managed at the broader portfolio level.

Portfolio performance summary

From a fundamental perspective, economic growth in emerging market countries continued to be favorable during the fiscal year. The major economies of Latin America continued to grow, with a number of them showing expansion well above expectations. Similar to other important regions for the asset class, Asia posted again the highest growth rates within the emerging market universe, and Eastern Europe demonstrated solid growth, as well. This provided support for the asset class, despite increased volatility amid uncertainty in global capital markets.

Our investment strategy for the Fund is based on our analysis of the overall asset class, individual countries and specific debt securities. During the period, we continued to look for opportunities in local markets, as fundamentals, in our opinion, were favorable, and interest rates relatively high. Local currency investments made up roughly 44% of the total portfolio at the end of the reporting period.

 

   

The Fund’s local currency-denominated debt holdings in Turkey and Brazil generated strong results during the fiscal year. Turkey performed well as it offered some of the highest yields among the emerging markets countries and it has enjoyed important capital inflows. In Brazil, high commodity prices and strong growth led to improved fundamentals. Local rates are still very attractive, in our opinion, and Brazil offers one of the highest real rates in the world.

 

   

The Fund’s investments in Argentine debt detracted from performance, especially during the second half of the fiscal year. During this time, increased risk aversion gripped the markets and led to increased volatility. This had a negative impact on countries with relatively weak monetary policy institutions, including Argentina. Furthermore, accusations made by protesting unionized workers at Argentina’s national statistics bureau—the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INDEC)—charging the government with manipulating and mishandling CPI data, led to a decline in investor confidence, mirrored by lower asset prices.

Nonetheless, our reasons for investing in Argentine debt remain unchanged. While we recognize the recent volatility, we believe that it is highly likely that the country’s markets will regain stability. In our view, the recent change in administration following the country’s October 2007 election and potential policy changes improve the outlook for Argentina. In addition, we believe the current mispricing will disappear as soon as confidence returns to the market.

UBS Opportunistic High Yield Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS Opportunistic High Yield Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) declined 2.11%. In comparison, the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index (the “Index”), returned 2.50% over the same time period. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund holds a relatively concentrated portfolio. It is managed to provide opportunistic high yield exposure to broader portfolios and is, therefore, not managed relative to a benchmark. As a result, security selection is the primary source of return, rather than sector allocations or duration management.

Portfolio performance summary

 

   

The Fund’s substantial exposure to the diversified financial services and bank and thrift sectors was detrimental to its performance. Examples of holdings that negatively impacted the Fund were Washington Mutual, Countrywide Financial and Residential Capital. All of these holdings were hurt by the fallout from the subprime mortgage market.

 

   

Security selection in the publishing and printing sector detracted from results. In particular, the Fund’s holding in Canadian commercial printer Quebecor World Capital Corp. was a negative contributor to performance. Its bonds fell sharply in the fourth quarter of the year as concerns mounted regarding its financial stability.

 

   

Securities that were structurally “short” produced mixed results. The Fund invested in several “take-out” situations—that is, situations where we thought bonds would either be redeemed by the issuer at favorable prices through a refinancing, or benefit from merger and acquisition (M&A) activity. This strategy was beneficial to performance during the first half of the fiscal year. However, it detracted from results later in the period as a severe credit crunch caused a number of proposed M&A deals to be canceled. An example of such a holding that hindered the Fund’s performance was United Rentals.

 

 

 

Poor returns from holdings in certain higher beta1 names hurt performance. An example of a holding that produced disappointing results was Freescale Semiconductor. This large semiconductor firm detracted from performance when Motorola, its largest customer, reported poor results.

UBS U.S. Bond Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS U.S. Bond Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 3.01%. The Fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”), returned 6.97% over the same time period. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s underperformance was primarily due to security selection and sector allocations, in particular among mortgage-related securities.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

Active duration and yield curve positioning modestly contributed to Fund performance. (Duration is a measure of sensitivity to changes in interest rates.) We positioned the portfolio defensively at the beginning of the reporting period, maintaining a duration that was shorter than the benchmark. Later in the period we slightly increased duration to bring it in line with the benchmark.

 

   

Toward the end of November, as pricing at the long end of the Treasury curve approached historical extremes, in terms of both absolute low yields and high deviations from our estimates, we brought the Fund’s duration slightly shorter than the benchmark.

 

   

While the weakened outlook for the US economy—coupled with disarray in the credit markets—continued to pressure the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) to cut short-term rates, the market had already priced in additional easing. Overall, our duration and yield curve strategies had a slightly positive effect on performance for the year.

What didn’t work

 

   

Security selection detracted from relative performance. The largest detractors from performance were our selection of asset-backed securities (ABS), mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).

 

   

Despite volatile market conditions throughout 2007, we continued to find, in our opinion, value in the securitized sectors. In particular, in the second half of the year, market volatility and risk aversion created what we believed to be compelling buying opportunities, as the difference between securities’ fundamental values and their market prices widened. We therefore, increased our exposure to AAA-rated and AA-rated commercial mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, within the asset-backed sector, we focused our attention on purchasing high-quality (predominately AAA-rated) residential mortgage-backed securities priced at a discount to their fundamentals. In the face of ongoing volatility, these additions further detracted from performance during the reporting period.

 

   

The Fund maintained a modest underweight to MBS for most of the period. In this sector, the Fund held mostly high-quality, non-agency mortgages. In the second half of the reporting period, non-agency mortgages began to underperform agency mortgages. In our view, this underperformance did not reflect deterioration in the fundamentals of these bonds. Instead, we attributed the price declines to continued risk aversion. While our allocation to non-agency mortgages negatively impacted performance during the reporting period, we believe that these securities have stronger potential over the longer term.

UBS U.S. Bond Relationship Fund

 

   

 

   

Despite some positives, overall sector allocation hindered performance.

 

   

The Fund’s underweight positions to the corporate bond sector, both in duration and market-value terms, had a slightly positive effect on Fund performance. However, this was more than offset by the Fund’s overweight positions in ABS and CMBS, which detracted from performance.

 

   

In terms of our investment grade corporate debt exposure, the Fund owned securities with shorter-dated maturities. We believed that the Fed was likely to lower rates aggressively, which would cause the yield curve to steepen. When spreads—the difference between the yield paid on US Treasury bonds and higher risk securities—widened, we added to the Fund’s positions in the financial and banking sectors. However, the prices of banks and financial services firms’ debt remained quite volatile throughout the reporting period, which negatively impacted performance.

 

 

This letter is intended to assist shareholders in understanding how the Fund performed during the 12 months ended December 31, 2007. The views and opinions in the letter were current as of February 15, 2008. They are not guarantees of performance or investment results and should not be taken as investment advice. Investment decisions reflect a variety of factors, and we reserve the right to change our views about individual securities, sectors and markets at any time.

UBS U.S. Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS U.S. Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 5.34%, compared to the 4.56% return of the Citigroup U.S. Treasury Bills 30-Day Rate (the “Index”). (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.)

Quality, liquidity and yield remained paramount in our selection process for the Fund during the reporting period. We also maintained a diversified portfolio and proactively adjusted the Fund’s positioning in an effort to take advantage of what we believed to be changing opportunities in the marketplace.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked

 

   

The Fund benefited from proactive management.

 

   

During the first half of the reporting period, we employed a “bulleted” strategy, which entailed focusing on securities with particular maturities. We focused on those maturing within six to 12 months, which helped the Fund to capture yield opportunities during that period.

 

   

During the second half of the period, we employed a “barbell” strategy (in which the maturities of securities in a portfolio are concentrated at opposite ends of the short-term yield curve). We continued to buy shorter-term securities, as we also sought to extend the Fund’s weighted average maturity with longer-term money market securities maturing within nine to 13 months.

 

     When the troubles surfaced in the credit market in mid-August, we sought to increase liquidity by purchasing more overnight securities. We focused on those issues with shorter maturities, including one month securities. This served to reduce the weighted average maturity during the remainder of the period. Overall, the barbell strategy was a positive contributor to the Fund’s performance.

 

   

Maintaining a diversified portfolio.

 

   

The Fund’s portfolio remained highly diversified, by both weighted average maturity and security type. The Fund held securities with a wide range of maturities, ranging from overnight up to a number of months. In terms of security type, while the Fund is able to generally hold up to 5% in any one security (subject to certain exceptions), we typically maintained a greater level of portfolio diversification over the reporting period. We accomplished this by investing in smaller positions, typically purchasing no more than 2%–3% in any one non-government issuer.

 

   

Emphasizing quality and liquidity.

 

   

As always, quality, liquidity and yield remained paramount in our selection process for the Fund. This process led us to be highly selective in terms of the types of commercial paper held in the Fund, which benefited performance during the reporting period. (Commercial paper is a short-term security often backed by a guarantee or a letter of credit from a bank or other entity.) For example, the Fund did not have any positions in single-seller commercial paper conduits or asset backed commercial paper programs solely backed by mortgages. Instead, we emphasized the more stable multi-seller commercial paper programs.

 

     133

 


UBS U.S. Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund

 

   

 

   

Short-term corporate obligations and certificates of deposit comprised a fair amount of the Fund. Within these sectors, we also found variable-rate securities, which offer interest rates that reset periodically, to be attractive, given the uncertainty of interest rate movements by the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). We purchased variable-rate securities linked to the fed funds rate, as well as those linked to the one-month and three-month LIBOR. (The LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate, is among the most common of benchmark interest rate indexes used to make adjustments to adjustable-rate securities.)

 

   

Later in the period, we increased the Fund’s exposure to overnight securities, such as repurchase agreements, as well as to one-month securities as we sought to increase the Fund’s liquidity. These purchases helped to minimize the Fund’s risk exposure. In response to turmoil in the asset-backed commercial paper market during this time, we decreased the Fund’s exposure to these securities and increased our exposure to US government and agency obligations.

 

   

During the reporting period, the Fund did not have any direct or indirect exposure to collateralized debt obligations, or the subprime mortgage market. (A subprime mortgage is normally made out to borrowers with lower credit ratings; indirect exposure to the subprime mortgage market would result from owning asset-backed commercial paper programs that are solely invested in subprime mortgage.)

 

   

Selective exposure to SIVs (Structured Investment Vehicles)

 

   

Based on our research, we believe the Fund to be at minimal credit risk from SIVs. SIVs are funded with asset-backed commercial paper and capital notes. Assets in most SIVs are well-diversified due to sector exposure limitations and can include bank debt, corporate debt and longer-term asset-backed securities. The Fund’s holdings in SIVs represented a small proportion of its total holdings.

UBS U.S. Securitized Mortgage Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, UBS U.S. Securitized Mortgage Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) declined 3.22%. For purposes of comparison, the Lehman Brothers MBS Fixed Rate Index (the “Index”) returned 6.90% during the same time period. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

The Fund’s performance was primarily driven by bottom-up security selection and its subsequent impact on sector positioning.

Portfolio performance summary

 

   

Escalating issues in the subprime mortgage market negatively impacted the securitized markets. It was initially assumed that the issues related to the subprime mortgage market would not adversely impact the overall economy. However, the problems and fallout from the subprime mortgage meltdown quickly escalated, leading to a severe credit crunch in the summer of 2007 and again in November. Increased risk aversion led to a dramatic flight-to-quality as investors abandoned mortgage-related securities for the safety of US Treasuries.

 

   

The Fund’s exposure to mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) detracted from results, as did its investments in asset-backed securities (ABS). These areas of the market were dragged down by the repercussions in the subprime mortgage market.

 

   

The Fund’s security selection in Alt-A second lien mortgage backed securities (MBS) detracted from performance. The Fund has exposure to relatively high-rated (“Alt A”) borrowers’ second lien residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). “Alt A” borrowers typically have better borrower characteristics than sub-prime borrowers. In the wake of the deterioration of the subprime market, the Alt-A market came under scrutiny as concerns were raised about the creditworthiness of borrowers and the standards of the lenders of these securities. Our expectation was that the higher yields offered by these securities would more than offset the level of borrower defaults in these pools. However, driven by poor due diligence by the mortgage underwriters and a weaker housing market, the actual level of defaults was greater than we originally anticipated.

 

   

We continued to proactively manage the Fund’s portfolio to take advantage of areas where we felt there were compelling opportunities.

 

   

In the first half of the fiscal year, we focused on securities that we believed had better characteristics, such as 15-year seasoned mortgage bonds and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages (Hybrid ARMs offer a blend of fixed rate and adjustable rate characteristics in one single loan, for example a 5/1 hybrid ARM would refer to a five-year fixed period and subsequent one-year rate adjustment.)

 

   

As the reporting period progressed, we opportunistically added high quality prime non-agency mortgage-backed securities to the portfolio. We added to the Fund’s spread duration in 10-year commercial mortgage-backed securities. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates). We also opportunistically purchased select distressed AAA-rated second lien residential mortgage-backed securities that are currently paying principal. Elsewhere, we purchased AAA-rated consumer LIBOR floaters. (A floater is a fixed income instrument whose coupon fluctuates with some designated reference rate.)

IO 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.
MLCC Merrill Lynch Credit Corp.
MSC Mortgage Securities Corp.
PO Principal only security — This security entitles the holder to receive principal payments from an underlying pool of assets. High prepayments return principal faster than expected and cause the yield to increase. Low prepayments return principal slower than expected and cause the yield to decrease.

UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund

 

   

 

Portfolio performance

Since its inception on July 27, 2007 through December 31, 2007, UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 7.69%. For comparison purposes, the Citigroup Inflation Linked Securities Index (the “Index”), returned 7.75% during the same time period. (Please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares.)

Portfolio performance summary

 

   

Aggressive actions by the US Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), coupled with continued inflationary pressures, propelled the price of US Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) higher during the reporting period. This led to strong results for the Fund since its inception.

 

   

Despite record high oil prices and continued high commodity and food prices, during the period since the Fund’s inception the Fed shifted its focus from inflation to the slowing growth environment.

 

   

In mid-September 2007, the Fed reduced the federal funds rate from 5.25% to 4.75%. (The federal funds rate, or “fed funds” rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) This was the first reduction in the fed funds rate since June 2003. The Fed again lowered rates in October and December 2007, bringing the fed funds rate to 4.25% by the end of the year. In a surprise move, the Fed cut the fed funds rate twice within nine days—on January 22, 2008, and again at the end of the month (after the reporting period ended). As of January 30, 2008, the fed funds rate was 3.00%.

The rate shown reflects the yield at December 31, 2007.

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

Explanation of expense disclosure (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees (if applicable) and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007.

Actual expenses

The first line in the table below for each Fund 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.

Please note that the UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund commenced operations on July 27, 2007, therefore “Actual” expenses paid during the period reflect activity from July 27, 2007 through December 31, 2007.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the table below for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on that Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not that Fund’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 a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

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

Please note that while the UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund commenced operations on July 27, 2007, the “Hypothetical” expenses paid during the period reflect projected activity for the full six month period for purposes of comparability. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007.

UBS Relationship Funds—Notes to financial statements    

 

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

UBS Relationship Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end, management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust currently offers shares of multiple series representing separate Portfolios of investments, each of which is non-diversified except for UBS U.S. Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund, UBS Global ex U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund and UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund which are diversified. The twenty series covered by this report are: UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Completion Relationship Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund, UBS Global ex U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund, UBS International Equity Relationship Fund, UBS Small-Cap Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Relationship Fund, UBS Large Cap Growth Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Large-Cap Value Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund, UBS Absolute Return Investment Grade Bond Relationship Fund, UBS Corporate Bond Relationship Fund, UBS High Yield Relationship Fund, UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund, UBS Opportunistic High Yield Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Bond Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Securitized Mortgage Relationship Fund and UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

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

The Trust issues shares of beneficial interest only in private placement transactions that do not involve a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Only “accredited investors”, as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, may invest in the Funds. Accredited investors include common or commingled trust funds, investment companies, registered broker-dealers, investment banks, commercial banks, corporations, group trusts, certain high net worth individuals and similar organizations.

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

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles requires the Trust’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A.    Valuation of investments: Each Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value for its portfolio securities. The Funds normally obtain market values for their securities from independent pricing sources. Independent pricing sources may use last reported sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. Securities 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 available prior to valuation. Securities which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. Securities listed on foreign stock exchanges may be fair valued based on significant events that

 

178     


UBS Relationship Funds—Notes to financial statements    

 

have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign markets. Certain funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities 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 is valued at a “fair value,” that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”), the investment manager of the Funds. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. 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 a fair value determined by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). 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. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company.

Certain securities in which the Funds invest are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV. However, if any of the Funds determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

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. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of December 31, 2007, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain measurements reported in the Statements of operations for a fiscal period.

B.    Restricted securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

C.    Foreign currency translation: Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated daily into US dollars using foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, commitments under forward foreign currency contracts and income receipts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate as of the date of each transaction. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses on

 

     179

 


UBS Relationship Funds—Notes to financial statements    

 

investments are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign forward currency contracts and foreign currency transactions in the Statements of operations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

D.    Investment transactions and investment income: 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 on the ex-dividend date (“ex-date”) except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

E.    Forward foreign currency contracts: A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the US dollar and the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The Funds may purchase or sell currencies and/or engage in forward foreign currency transactions in order to expedite settlement of portfolio transactions and to manage currency risk.

A Fund will only enter into forward contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of US dollars or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of securities denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when a Fund enters into a forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian will place assets in a segregated account of the Fund in an amount not less than the value of the Fund’s total assets committed to the consumption of such forward contracts. If the assets placed in the account decline, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund’s commitments with respect to such contracts.

The unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to each Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. Fluctuations in the value of the open forward foreign currency contracts are recorded daily for book purposes as net unrealized gains or losses on foreign forward currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have been sold or matured.

F.    Futures contracts: The Funds may purchase or sell exchange-traded futures contracts, which are contracts that obligate the Funds to make or take delivery of a financial instrument or the cash value of a securities index at a specified future date at a specified price. The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts to increase or reduce its exposure to an asset class without purchasing or selling the underlying securities, either as a hedge or to enhance or realize gains. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund 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”, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

UBS Relationship Funds—Notes to financial statements    

 

The Statements of operations reflect net realized and net unrealized gains and losses on these contracts.

G.    Swap agreements: Certain Funds may engage in swap agreements, including but not limited to interest rate, currency, credit default and equity swap agreements. A Fund expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of the portfolio’s duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, or to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible.

Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect themselves from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or a credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will gain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

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

The use of swaps involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Funds 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 Fund’s risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

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

H.    Option writing: Certain Funds may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities indices in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of assets and liabilities as 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 Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized capital 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 Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.

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

UBS Relationship Funds—Notes to financial statements    

 

I.    Purchased options: Certain Funds may also purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities and indices as well as exchange-listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific industry or geographic region. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. 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 futures, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

J.    Short sales: UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund (“Equity Alpha”) enters into short sales whereby it sells a security it generally does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the security’s price. 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. If Equity Alpha shorts a security when also holding a long position in the security (a “short against the box”), as the security price declines, the short position increases in value, offsetting the long position’s decrease in value. The opposite effect occurs if the security price rises. Equity Alpha will realize a gain or loss upon closing of the short sale (returning the security to the counterparty by way of purchase or delivery of a long position owned). Equity Alpha is liable to the buyer for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends are booked as an expense of the Fund. Equity Alpha designates collateral consisting of cash, US government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of short positions. Equity Alpha is charged a securities loan fee equal to 0.40% of short market value in connection with short sale transactions.

K.    Dividends and distributions: With the exception of UBS U.S. Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund, none of the Funds currently intend to declare and pay dividends. For UBS U.S. Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund, dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed to shareholders annually or more frequently to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share. There is no assurance that UBS U.S. Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund will be able to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

L.    Concentration of risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which some Funds in the Trust invest.

Small capitalization (“small cap”) companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization (“large cap”) companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of large cap companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in large cap companies. In addition, small cap companies may not be well-known to the investing public, may not have institutional ownership and may have only cyclical, static or moderated growth prospects.

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

M.    Commission recapture program: The following Funds participate in a brokerage commission recapture program: UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Completion Relationship Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund, UBS International Equity Relationship Fund, UBS Small-Cap Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Growth Equity Relationship Fund and UBS U.S. Large-Cap Value Equity Relationship Fund.

These Funds have established commission recapture arrangements with certain participating brokers or dealers. If a Fund’s investment manager chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker subject to best price and execution, the broker will rebate a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the following Funds recorded recaptured commissions which are reflected on the Statements of operations within the net realized gains (losses) on investment activities:

 

Fund

   Amount
UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund    $ 146,630
UBS Small-Cap Equity Relationship Fund      233,873
UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund      88,058
UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Relationship Fund      32,773
UBS U.S. Large-Cap Value Equity Relationship Fund      4,525

N.    Transaction charges: Investors in UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund are subject to a transaction charge equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s offering price on Fund share purchases. Therefore, the shares of this Fund are sold at a price which is equal to the net asset value of such shares, plus a transaction charge. The transaction charge is retained by the Fund and is intended to defray transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of securities within the Fund. Investors in UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund are also subject to a transaction charge equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s offering price on Fund share redemptions. Transaction charges received by UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund were $7,911,626 and $1,267,329 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

O.    Securities traded on to-be-announced basis: Certain Funds may from time to time purchase, or sell short, securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying security transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations 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.

 

2. Investment advisory and administration fees and other transactions with affiliates:

UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the “Advisor”), a registered investment advisor, manages the assets of the Trust pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor does not receive any compensation under the Advisory Agreement for providing investment advisory services. The Advisor has agreed to reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annualized operating expenses exceed the following percentage of average daily net assets:

3. Securities lending

Each Fund may lend portfolio securities up to 33 1/3% 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. Each Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, each Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. Each Fund 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. The Funds monitor the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and initially require collateral against the loaned securities in an amount at least equal to 102% of the value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned.

5. Federal income taxes

The Trust has received rulings from the Internal Revenue Service that each Fund will be treated as a separate partnership for federal income tax purposes. Income taxes are not provided for by the Funds because taxable income (loss) of each Fund is included in the income tax returns of the investors. For tax purposes, each component of the Funds’ net assets are reported at the investor level; therefore, the Statements of assets and liabilities do not present the components of net assets.

The Funds adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and no material changes to the beginning net asset values of the Funds.

 

194     

 


UBS Relationship Funds—Notes to financial statements    

 

As of and during the period ended December 31, 2007, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the three year period ended December 31, 2007, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the operations of the Funds for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

6. Partnership allocations

For federal income tax purposes, an investor’s distributive share of each item of a Fund’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined by the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) so long as the allocation has “substantial economic effect” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) Section 704 and the regulations thereunder. The Trust has received rulings from the Internal Revenue Service that its allocation method has substantial economic effect.

 

7. Transfers in-kind

Certain shareholders of a Fund may redeem shares and the Fund pays the redemption proceeds primarily by means of a redemption in-kind of the Fund’s portfolio securities in exchange for shares of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2007, there were no transactions in-kind. For the year ended December 31, 2006, cash and portfolio securities (including accrued interest) were transferred on the dates, at the values listed, and losses for book purposes which resulted from the redemptions in-kind are listed below:

 

Fund

   Date    Value    Realized (loss)  
UBS Corporate Bond Relationship Fund    03/30/06    $ 64,400,000    $ (2,928,694 )

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of UBS Relationship Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of UBS Relationship Funds (comprising, respectively, UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Completion Relationship Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund, UBS Global ex U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund, UBS International Equity Relationship Fund, UBS Small-Cap Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Relationship Fund, UBS Large Cap Growth Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Large-Cap Value Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Smaller Cap Equity Completion Relationship Fund, UBS Absolute Return Investment Grade Bond Relationship Fund, UBS Corporate Bond Relationship Fund, UBS High Yield Relationship Fund, UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund, UBS Opportunistic High Yield Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Bond Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Securitized Mortgage Relationship Fund and UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund) (collectively the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting the UBS Relationship Funds at December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

All non-audit services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by resolution of the Audit Committee; (ii) by oral or written approval of the Chairman of the Audit Committee and one other Audit Committee member; or (iii) if the Chairman is unavailable, by oral or written approval of two other members of the Audit Committee.
