UBS Series Trust—U.S. Allocation Portfolio
August 20, 2007
Dear contract owner, We present you with the semiannual report for UBS Series Trust—U.S. Allocation Portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Performance During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio’s Class H shares returned 5.39%. Since the Portfolio invests in both stocks and bonds, we feel it is appropriate to compare the Portfolio’s performance to the U.S. Allocation Fund Index* (the “Index”), which returned 5.09% over the same time period. By contrast, the S&P 500 Index, which tracks large cap US equities, returned 6.96% during the reporting period. (For Class H and Class I returns over various time periods, please refer to “Performance at a glance” on page 6.) | | | | UBS Series Trust—U.S. Allocation Portfolio

An interview with Lead Portfolio Manager Brian D. Singer |
Q. | Can you describe the economic environment during the reporting period? |
A. | US economic growth fluctuated during the reporting period. After expanding 2.5% in the fourth quarter of 2006, gross domestic product (GDP) tailed off significantly over the first three months of 2007. During this time, GDP grew a tepid 0.7%—its slowest rate since the fourth quarter of 2002. The weakening economy was attributed, in part, to the troubles in the housing market. The economy then rebounded, as the advance estimate for second quarter 2007 GDP growth was a solid 3.4%, its fastest rate since the first quarter of 2006. While consumer spending moderated, this was offset by a sharp increase in business spending and exports. |

Q. | How did the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) react in this economic environment? |
A. | After raising short-term interest rates 17 consecutive times from June 2004 through June 2006, the Fed has since remained “on hold” and kept the federal funds rate at 5.25%. (The federal funds rate, or “fed funds” rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) The Fed has repeatedly indicated that future rate movements would be data-dependent as it attempts to ward off inflation and to keep the economy growing at a reasonable pace. |
| |
| Following the conclusion of the reporting period, the Fed reacted to concerns over subprime lending by providing greater amounts of liquidity to the market in order to facilitate normal market operations. The Fed has stated that they plan to continue to monitor the risks of rising inflation along with the potential for slower economic growth. |
| |
Q. | How did the stock market perform during the reporting period? |
A. | The US stock market generated respectable results during the reporting period. Over this time, the overall stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose 6.96%. While stocks posted positive results in four of the six months covered by this report, declines in February and June tempered the market’s gains. The decline in February was triggered by an 8.8% fall in China’s market on February 28th, its worst one-day performance in 10 years. In June, sharply rising oil prices and expectations that the Fed would not lower interest rates in 2007 caused the market to weaken. |
| |
Q. | Did the bond market generate positive results as well during the reporting period? |
A. | The US bond market largely held steady over the reporting period. While the Fed kept short-term interest rates on hold at 5.25%, it continued to stress that inflation remained a concern. Late in the period, both short- and long-term yields rose sharply higher, with 10-year yields reaching a five-year high. This occurred on the back of inflationary concerns, a strong labor market and disappointment that the Fed appeared to be “on hold” for the foreseeable future. During the reporting period, the overall US bond market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 0.98%. |
| |
Q. | How was the Portfolio allocated at the end of the reporting period? |
A. | During the second half of the period, we made a slight adjustment to the Portfolio’s overall allocation policy. In particular, we took advantage |

UBS Series Trust—U.S. Allocation Portfolio
| of the sell-off in the bond market by increasing the Portfolio’s exposure to bonds by 1 percentage point, to a total of approximately 31%. This was done in concert with reducing our position in cash equivalents. We had been holding cash for some time rather than holding the full benchmark exposure to fixed income, as we perceived bonds to be inferior to cash from a risk/return perspective. However, in our opinion, the sell-off in bonds increased the attractiveness of the fixed income asset classes relative to cash, warranting a change in strategy. |
| |
| As of June 30, 2007, the Portfolio’s assets were allocated as follows: approximately 69% was invested in US equities; 31% was invested in US bonds; and less than 1% was invested in cash equivalents. |
| |
Q. | Which portions of the Portfolio performed well during the semi-annual period and which areas produced disappointing results? |
A. | During the reporting period, we continued to rely on our bottom-up research process to guide sector allocation and stock selection for the Portfolio. For the period as a whole, both our sector positioning and security selection enhanced relative results. |
| |
| In the equity component of the Portfolio, we held overweight positions in pharmaceuticals, banks and autos, and underweights in energy and materials. In the second half of the period, we also moved to an underweight position in capital goods stocks. In terms of specific stocks, the Portfolio’s overweights to Amazon.com and Exelon enhanced results as the period progressed. |
| |
| The Portfolio’s overweight to banks negatively impacted performance, as the financial sector underperformed during the reporting period. Our underweight to oil refining also detracted from performance. However, we continue to find this area unattractive, as we believe that current oil prices are not sustainable. |
| |
| In terms of the Portfolio’s fixed income exposure, we remained moderately defensive in terms of duration for most of the reporting period, a strategy which benefited performance. Duration is a measure of a security’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Specifically, our underweight duration exposure in the 5- to 10-year part of the yield curve expressed our view that we expected the yield in this area to rise relative to the short end of the curve. Late in the period, we extended the Portfolio’s duration to assume a neutral position. This reflected our belief that market sentiment and pricing had moved within our fair value estimates. |
3
UBS Series Trust—U.S. Allocation Portfolio
| In the Portfolio’s high yield component, we continued to take a conservative stance, as we felt the sector was overvalued. This stance had a negative impact on performance during the reporting period. However, we anticipate remaining defensive and will concentrate on issuer-specific situations that offer what we believe to be superior relative value. |
| |
Q. | What is your outlook for the markets and the Portfolio? |
A. | In light of the concerns over subprime lending affecting the market following the conclusion of the reporting period, we believe that the US equity market is priced slightly below fair value. This is largely in recognition of the decline in investor risk appetite as equity markets corrected in the face of turmoil in the credit markets. In this environment, we see opportunities in areas where prices have fallen below our fundamental value estimates. We believe our current asset allocation to be appropriate considering ongoing economic expansion in the US and the strength of realized earnings growth. |

Past performance does not predict future performance. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates and does not reflect separate account charges applicable to variable annuity contracts. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS Series Trust—U.S. Allocation Portfolio
Understanding your Portfolio’s expenses (unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (if applicable) and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. |
|
The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007. |
|
Actual expenses |
The first line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over a period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each class of shares under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. |
|
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes |
The second line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return for each class of shares. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. |
|
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs (as applicable), such as contract level charges that may be applicable to variable annuity contracts. Therefore, the second line in the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. |

The Trust is organized under Massachusetts law pursuant to an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated February 11, 1998, as amended, and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust operates as a series company currently offering one portfolio. Shares of the Portfolio are offered to insurance company separate accounts which fund certain variable annuity and variable life contracts.
Currently the Portfolio offers Class H and Class I shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the Portfolio, and the classes are identical except for the Class I distribution charge. Both classes have equal voting privileges except that Class I has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. Class H has no distribution plan.
In the normal course of business the Portfolio may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Portfolio’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The 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:
Valuation of investments—The Portfolio calculates net asset values based on the current market value for its portfolio securities. The Portfolio normally obtains market values for its 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. 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”). If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith 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 fair value. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; the value of actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (particularly non-US securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, these securities would be fair valued. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt-instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair 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 June 30, 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 Statement of operations for a fiscal period.
Repurchase agreements—The Portfolio may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date

(or upon demand) and price. The Portfolio maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Portfolio and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolio generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. If the seller (or seller’s guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the Portfolio may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The Portfolio may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM.
Investment transactions, investment income and expenses—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date (“ex-date”). Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.
Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes). Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.
Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date. The amount of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US generally accepted accounting principles. These “book/tax”
30

differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Concentration of risk
The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Portfolio to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region.
Investment advisor and administrator
The Board has approved an investment advisory and administration contract (“Advisory Contract”), under which UBS Global AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Portfolio. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Portfolio pays UBS Global AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. At June 30, 2007, the Portfolio owed UBS Global AM $17,052 for investment advisory and administration fees.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio paid $19 in brokerage commissions to UBS Financial Services Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG for transactions executed on behalf of the Portfolio.
Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Effective March 1, 2005, Professor Meyer Feldberg accepted the position of senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, resulting in him becoming an interested trustee of the Portfolio. The Portfolio has been informed that Professor Feldberg’s role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Portfolio transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley in the amount of $504. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Portfolio purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $4,460,021. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other
31

Notes to financial statements—(unaudited)
form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by UBS Global AM, UBS Global AM believes that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.
Restricted securities
The Portfolio 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 is included at the end of the “Portfolio of investments.”
Distribution plan
Class I shares are offered to insurance company separate accounts where the related insurance companies receive payments for their services in connection with the distribution of the Portfolio’s Class I shares. Under the plan of distribution, the Portfolio pays to UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. (“UBS Global AM—US”) for remittance to each participating insurance company or, at UBS Global AM—US’s direction, pays directly to a participating insurance company, a monthly distribution fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class I shares held by the separate accounts of that participating insurance company. At June 30, 2007, the Portfolio owed UBS Global AM—US $17,829 for distribution fees.
Securities lending
The Portfolio may lend 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. The Portfolio will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Portfolio may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Portfolio receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, US government securities or irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable

administrative and custody fees. UBS Financial Services Inc. and other affiliated broker-dealers have been approved as borrowers under the Portfolio’s securities lending program. UBS Securities LLC is the Portfolio’s lending agent. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, UBS Securities LLC earned $158 in compensation as the Portfolio’s lending agent. At June 30, 2007, the Portfolio owed UBS Securities LLC $6 in compensation as the Portfolio’s lending agent.
At June 30, 2007 the Portfolio had securities on loan having a market value of $811,031. The Portfolio’s custodian held cash equivalents as collateral for securities loaned of $78,189. In addition, the Portfolio’s custodian held a US government security having an aggregate value of $1,017,348 as collateral for portfolio securities loaned as follows:
Principal | | | | | | | | |
amount | | | | Maturity | | Interest | | |
(000) | | | | date | | rate | | Value |
|
$1,025 | | US Treasury Inflation Index Note | | 04/15/12 | | 2.000% | | $1,017,348 |
|
Bank line of credit
The Portfolio participates with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM in a $100 million committed credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“Committed Credit Facility”), to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Portfolio at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, the Portfolio has agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the funds in the Committed Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the Portfolio at the overnight federal funds rate in effect at the time of borrowings, plus 0.50%. The Portfolio did not borrow under the Committed Credit Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Purchases and sales of securities
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities and US government and agency securities, were $4,753,895 and $9,829,262, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, aggregate purchases and sales of US government and agency securities, excluding short-term securities, were $13,740,425 and $16,029,868, respectively.

Federal tax status
The Portfolio intends to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Portfolio intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 was as follows:
Distributions paid from: | | 2006 |
|
Ordinary income | | $1,270,313 |
|
The tax character of distributions paid and the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Portfolio’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
At December 31, 2006, the Portfolio had a net capital loss carryforward of $26,348,972. This loss carryforward is available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized capital gains and will expire as follows: $8,672,897 will expire December 31, 2010, $7,434,714 will expire December 31, 2011 and $10,241,361 will expire December 31, 2012. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed.
For federal income tax purposes, which was substantially the same for book purposes, the tax cost of investments and the components of net unrealized appreciation of investments at June 30, 2007 were as follows:
Tax cost of investments | | $35,205,876 |
|
Gross appreciation (investments having an excess of value over cost) | | 5,814,615 |
|
Gross depreciation (investments having an excess of cost over value) | | 279,812 |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | $5,534,803 |
