How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
Portfolio performance summary
What worked:
- Tactical asset allocation contributed positively to relative performance.
- Overweight stocks vs. bonds was a positive contributor to performance.
- An overweight to US large cap was the main contributor to performance. Within US large cap, an overweight to US Communication Services and an overweight to US Information Technology contributed the most.
- Within Fixed Income, overweights in securitized fixed income contributed to performance.
What didn’t work:
- Security selection detracted from relative performance. Negative impact from US Large Cap Value and the US Securitized Bond strategies outweighed positive contribution from the US High Yield Fixed Income, US Large Cap Growth, and the US Large Cap Sector Rotation Strategies.
- From a tactical allocation perspective, underweights to US 10 year treasuries and an overweight to US Health Care detracted the most from relative performance.
We used derivatives extensively for capital management, risk management, and expressing asset allocation views. We utilized various futures which include equity regional, equity style, fixed income regional in both government and corporate credit. Futures were sometimes used to manage overall regional exposure while increasing exposure to actively managed sleeves of the portfolio. We also utilized futures to gain exposure to asset classes when limited by our max allocation to external ETFs by SEC rules.

Futures were sometimes used to manage overall regional exposure while increasing exposure to actively managed sleeves of the portfolio. We also utilized futures to gain exposure to asset classes when limited by our max allocation to external ETFs by SEC rules.

| (e) | (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
The registrant’s Audit Committee (“audit committee”) has adopted an “Audit Committee Charter (Amended and Restated as of September 14, 2016)” (the “charter”). The charter contains the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. Reproduced below is an excerpt from the charter regarding pre-approval policies and procedures:
The [audit] Committee shall:
…
| 2. | Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services1 to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to UBS AM and any Covered Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek periodically from UBS AM and from the independent auditors a list of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be rendered to the Fund, UBS AM or any Covered Service Providers by the Fund’s independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee has delegated its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services not exceeding $100,000 (excluding reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) on an annual basis to the Chairperson. All such pre-approvals will be reported to the full Committee on a quarterly basis at the Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting after the pre-approval. The Committee may not delegate to management its responsibility to pre-approve services to be performed by the independent auditor. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Committee or the Chairperson will be submitted by both the Fund’s independent auditors and the Fund’s Treasurer or other designated Fund officer and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence. From year to year, the Committee shall report to the Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than UBS AM or the Fund’s officers). |
1 The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.
Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, UBS AM and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with UBS AM that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors (during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided) by (a) the Fund, (b) its investment adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.
(e) (2) Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:
Audit-Related Fees:

All Other Fees:
There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023 on behalf of the registrant.

| (f) | For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, if greater than 50%, specify the percentage of hours spent on the audit of the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons who are not full-time, permanent employees of E&Y. According to E&Y, such amount was below 50%; therefore, disclosure item not applicable for this filing. |
| (g) | For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, the aggregate fees billed by EY of $576,355 and $1,645,887, respectively, for non-audit services rendered on behalf of the registrant (“covered”), its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser (“non-covered”) that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant is shown in the table below: |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
| Covered Services | | $ | 17,721 | | | $ | 15,930 | |
| Non-Covered Services | | $ | 558,634 | | | $ | 1,629,957 | |
| (h) | The registrant’s audit committee was not required to consider whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence. |

* Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, used in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular reference entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the reference entity's credit soundness and greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Organization and significant accounting policies
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the "Fund") is a series of UBS Investment Trust (the "Trust") and is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The Trust was organized on March 28, 1991, as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and currently has one operating series.
UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC ("UBS AM or the "Advisor"), formerly known as UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM" or the "Advisor") serves as the investment advisor and administrator for the Fund. UBS Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS AM (US)") serves as the principal underwriter for the Fund. UBS AM and UBS AM (US) are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of UBS Group AG. UBS Group AG is an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. UBS Group AG operates in many areas of the financial services industry.
The Fund currently offers Class A and Class P shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the Fund, and the classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing service and distribution charges and certain transfer agency and related services expenses. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plan, if any. Class P shares have no service or distribution plan.
In the normal course of business the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In October 2022, the SEC adopted the Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds rule and reform amendments requiring open-end management investment companies, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, to transmit concise and visually engaging semi-annual and annual tailored shareholder reports that highlight key information, including fund expenses, performance, and holdings to shareholders. Certain information from the Fund's current shareholder reports, including the Fund's investment portfolio, financial statements and financial highlights, will not appear in the tailored shareholder report but will be filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. This information will be available online, mailed upon request and filed on a semiannual basis. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Investment transactions, investment income and expenses—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income and expense are recorded net of withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date ("ex-date") except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the 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.
26
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
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-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital are determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Foreign currency translation—The books and records of the Fund are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of operations.
The Fund does not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in the market prices of securities. However, the Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Net realized foreign currency transaction gain (loss) is treated as ordinary income (loss) for income tax reporting purposes.
Concentration of risk—Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Fund invests.
The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.
Investments in bonds with ratings of BB (Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC or Fitch Ratings, Inc.) or Ba (Moody's Investors Service, Inc.) or below (commonly referred to as "high yield" bonds), or deemed of equivalent quality, have an increased risk of defaulting or otherwise being unable to honor a financial obligation. These securities are considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to an issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations. Lower-quality bonds are more likely to be subject to an issuer's default or downgrade than investment grade (higher-quality) bonds.
Valuation of investments
The Fund generally calculates its net asset value on days that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. The Fund calculates net asset value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). The NYSE normally is not open, and the Fund does not price its shares, on most national holidays and Good Friday. To the extent that the Fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is not open, the value of the Fund's assets may be affected on those days. If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, the Fund's net asset value per share generally will still be calculated as of the close of regular trading
27
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
on the NYSE. The time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value and until which purchase, sale or exchange orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the SEC.
The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio investments. The Fund normally obtains market values for its investments from independent pricing sources and brokerdealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized "evaluation" systems that derive values based on comparable investments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio investments. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the investment or similar investments received from recognized dealers in those holdings.
Investments traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Investments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the market closing price, the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. Investments listed on foreign stock exchanges may be fair valued based on significant events that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign markets. In cases where investments are traded on more than one exchange, the investments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS AM. If a market value is not readily available from an independent pricing source for a particular investment, that investment is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the NYSE.
Certain investments in which the Fund invests may be traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, will not be reflected in the Fund's net asset value. However, if the Fund determines that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund's investments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what is believed to be the fair value of these investments as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.
The Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value investments principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. The systematic fair valuation model may use calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. If an investment is valued at a "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the investment. The use of the fair valuation model may result in securities being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair valuation hierarchy at the end of the reporting period.
The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Pursuant to the Fund's use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, investments in investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value.
All investments quoted in foreign currencies are valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Fund's custodian.
28
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts, if any, are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third-party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.
The Board has designated UBS AM as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, and delegated to UBS AM the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to portfolio holdings. UBS AM, as the valuation designee, is responsible for periodically assessing any material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of investments; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing the appropriateness of fair value methodologies; and overseeing and evaluating third-party pricing services. UBS AM has engaged the Equities, Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee (the "VC") to assist with its designated responsibilities as valuation designee with respect to the Fund's portfolio holdings. The VC is comprised of representatives of management. The VC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any investments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the VC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the VC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions, processes, and controls over fair value determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews and periodic internal audit reviews.
The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign investments under some circumstances; securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; investments whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed income securities that are in default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The need to fair value the Fund's portfolio investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic investments, and when a security that is subject to a trading limit or collar on the exchange or market on which it is primarily traded reaches the "limit up" or "limit down" price and no trading has taken place at that price. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of an investment's fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is purchased and sold. Valuing investments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing investments that have readily available market quotations. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by a fair value pricing service.
US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of the Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Investments
Asset-backed securities—The Fund may invest in asset-backed securities ("ABS"), representing interests in pools of certain types of underlying installment loans, home equity loans, leases of various types of real and personal property and receivables from revolving lines of credit (credit cards). Such assets are securitized through the use of trusts or special purpose corporations. The yield characteristics of ABS differ from those of traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. ABS may decrease in value as a result of increases in interest rates and may benefit less than other fixed-income securities from declining interest rates because of the risk of prepayment.
Mortgage-backed securities—The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), representing direct or indirect interests in pools of underlying mortgage loans that are secured by real property. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid.
The timely payment of principal and interest (but not the market value) on MBS issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (formally known as the Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA) is backed by Ginnie Mae and the full faith and credit of the US government. Obligations issued by Fannie Mae (formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association or FNMA) and Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company or FHLMC) are historically supported only by the credit of the issuer, but currently are guaranteed by the US government in connection with such agencies being placed temporarily into conservatorship by the US government.
Some MBS are sponsored or issued by private entities. Payments of principal and interest (but not the market value) of such private MBS may be supported by pools of mortgage loans or other MBS that are guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the US government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any government guarantee of the underlying mortgage assets but with some form of non-government credit enhancement.
Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO") are a type of MBS. A CMO is a debt security that may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. The mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities are divided into classes or tranches with each class having its own characteristics. Investors typically receive payments out of the interest and principal on the underlying mortgages. The portions of these payments that investors receive, as well as the priority of their rights to receive payments, are determined by the specific terms of the CMO class.
The yield characteristics of MBS differ from those of traditional debt securities. Among the major differences are that interest and principal payments are made more frequently, usually monthly, and that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying mortgage loans or other obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. Prepayments on a pool of mortgage loans are influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors. Generally, prepayments on fixed-rate mortgage loans will increase during a period of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. Certain classes of CMOs and other MBS are structured in a manner that makes them extremely sensitive to changes in prepayment rates. Such classes include interest-only ("IO") and principal-only ("PO") classes. IOs are entitled to receive all or a portion of the interest, but none (or only a nominal amount) of the principal payments, from the underlying mortgage assets. If the mortgage assets underlying an IO experience greater than anticipated principal prepayments, then the total amount of interest payments allocable to the IO class, and therefore the yield to investors, generally will be reduced. Conversely, PO classes are entitled to receive all or a portion of the principal payments, but none of the interest, from the underlying mortgage assets. PO classes are purchased at substantial discounts from par, and the yield to investors will be reduced if principal payments are slower than expected.

Notes to financial statements
Real estate investment trusts—The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Distributions from a REIT are initially recorded as dividend income and may subsequently be recharacterized by the REIT at the end of its tax year as a return of capital and/or capital gains. The Fund estimates the character of dividends received from REITs for financial reporting purposes based on the distribution history of each REIT. Once actual distribution characterizations are made available by the REITs, typically after calendar year end, the Fund updates its accounting and/or tax books and records.
Repurchase agreements—The Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily in an effort to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including a possible decline in the market value of the underlying obligations. If their value becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon repurchase of the obligations and the price that was paid by the Fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than U.S. government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds, equities and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. If the seller (or seller's guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the Fund 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 Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risk.
The Fund may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds' managed or advised by UBS AM in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to Section 17(d) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Fund potentially exposed to a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.
Restricted securities—The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in Fund's portfolio footnotes.
Securities traded on to-be-announced basis—The Fund may from time to time purchase, or short sell, securities on a to-be-announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying securities. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities—The Fund may purchase Treasury inflation protected securities ("TIPS") which are debt securities issued by the US Treasury. TIPS adjust for inflation based on changes in the published Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). During periods of inflation when the CPI index increases, the principal amount of the debt to which the rate of interest is applied increases, which in turn increases the yield. During periods of deflation when the CPI index decreases, the principal amount of the debt to which the rate of interest is applied decreases, which in turn lowers the yield. At maturity, TIPS return the higher of the principal amount at maturity or the initial face amount of the debt.
Derivative instruments
Purchased options—The Fund may purchase put and call options, in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument.
The 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. Purchased options are shown as portfolio holdings within the portfolio of investments and are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities in investments, at value.
The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Option writing—The Fund may write (sell) put and call options, including, but not limited to, options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies, options on futures contracts and options on swap agreements (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains.
When the Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included on the Fund's Statement of assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option, which the Fund has written, is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option, which 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 Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.
In the normal course of trading activities, the Fund trades and holds certain fair valued derivative contracts that constitute guarantees. Such contracts include written put options, where the Fund will be obligated to purchase securities at specified prices (i.e. the options are exercised by the counterparties). It also includes written swaptions, where the Fund will be obligated to enter into a swap agreement.

The maximum payout for written put options is limited to the number of put option contracts written and the related strike prices, respectively. Maximum payout amounts could be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the execution of a payout event.
Futures contracts—The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts as part of its investment strategy, to increase or reduce its exposure to an asset class without purchasing or selling the underlying securities, either as a hedge or to enhance income or realized gains. Generally, a futures contract is a standard binding agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying reference asset, such as a specific security or currency, at a specified price at a specified later date.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or US government securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin", generally are made or received by the Fund, 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 appreciation or depreciation on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.
Using futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that the Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.
Futures contracts, if any, are shown as portfolio holdings within the Portfolio of investments. Variation margin, if applicable, is shown in Variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts within the Statement of assets and liabilities.
Swap agreements—The Fund may engage in swap agreements, including, but not limited to, credit default and total return swap agreements. The Fund expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or to hedge a portion of the portfolio's duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible or in an attempt to enhance income or gains.
The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap agreements. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements.
The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect themselves from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.
Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default of a security or other credit event of the referenced obligation. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a default or credit event. If no default or credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract.
33
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
However, if a default or a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for the referenced obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a default or a credit event. If no default or credit event occurs, the Fund will gain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract and the counterparty will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a default or credit event occurs, the Fund typically would pay full notional value for the referenced obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swap agreements may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the referenced obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list of a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of referenced credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name's weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. The Fund may use credit default swap agreements on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit default swap agreements on credit indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.
Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection's right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Fund may use credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement, which may exceed the amount of the value reflected on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of the period end for which the Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues and credit indices—sell protection" in the Portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by the Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transactions exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swap agreements are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Total return swap agreements are subject to general

market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and the risk that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques, risks, and transaction costs different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions, including assumptions about market conditions, interest rates, and other applicable factors. As a result, the performance of the Fund will be different than if it had used ordinary portfolio security transactions. OTC swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, the Fund's risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.
Certain clearinghouses offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, such as interest rate and credit default swap agreements. Centrally cleared swap agreements must be transacted through a futures commission merchant ("FCM") and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. The performance of a centrally cleared swap transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing the Fund's exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Fund will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. Centrally cleared swap agreements, if any, are reported on the Statement of assets and liabilities based on variation margin received or paid, if any.
Swap agreements, if any, are shown as portfolio holdings within the Portfolio of investments.
Derivatives by underlying risk—Investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations. Although certain of a Fund's investments in derivatives may be intended to hedge risk from a portfolio implementation/economic perspective, derivatives are considered to be "non hedge transactions" for purposes of disclosure under US GAAP as reflected in the Fund's financial reports.
The volume of derivatives as disclosed in the Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the period ended August 31, 2024.
Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, swaptions and options written entered by the Fund may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Fund's Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of August 31, 2024 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities.
At August 31, 2024, the Fund had the following derivatives categorized by underlying risk:

Offsetting of certain derivatives—The Fund typically enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements") or similar master agreements with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund typically may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination. The Statement of assets and liabilities is presented gross of any netting.
At August 31, 2024, derivative assets and liabilities (by type) on a gross basis and derivatives subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement ("MNA") or similar were as follows:

Investment advisor and administrator fees and other transactions with affiliates
The Board has approved an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract (the "Advisory Contract"), under which UBS AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund is to pay UBS AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is to be accrued daily

Notes to financial statements
and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $250 million and 0.45% thereafter.
UBS AM has agreed to permanently reduce its advisory and administration fee based on the Fund's average daily net assets so that it is assessed as follows: $0 to $250 million—0.50%; in excess of $250 million up to $500 million—0.45%; in excess of $500 million up to $2 billion—0.40%; and over $2 billion—0.35%. Accordingly, for the year ended August 31, 2024, UBS AM did not waive any investment advisory and administration fees. At August 31, 2024, the Fund owed UBS AM $95,171 for investment advisory and administration fees.
UBS AM has contractually undertaken to waive fees/reimburse a portion of the Fund's expenses, when necessary, to maintain the total annual operating expenses (excluding (1) dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expense relating to short sales, and (2) investments in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, trustee elections as well as other matters related to shareholder meetings (unless otherwise separately agreed by UBS AM), and extraordinary expenses, if any) of Class A and Class P shares at a level not to exceed 1.15% and 0.90%,respectively through December 31, 2024. The Fund will repay UBS AM for any previously waived fees/reimbursed expenses during the three-year period following August 31, 2021, to the extent that operating expenses (with certain exclusions such as dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, trustee elections as well as other matters related to shareholder meetings (unless otherwise separately agreed by UBS AM), and extraordinary expenses, if any) are otherwise below the expense caps in effect at the time the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed. For the period ended August 31, 2024, the Fund had no fee waivers/expense reimbursements subject to repayment.
During the period ended August 31, 2024, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions where an affiliate was underwriter. In such cases, the affiliate underwriter was not compensated and each trade was approved by the Board.
Service and distribution plans
UBS AM (US) is the principal underwriter of the Fund's shares. The Fund has adopted service and/or distribution plans (the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class A shares. The Plans govern payments made for the expenses incurred in the service and/or distribution of Class A shares. The Fund pays UBS AM (US) monthly service fees at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. At August 31, 2024, the Fund owed UBS AM (US) $40,104 for service and distribution fees.
UBS AM (US) also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charges paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A shares. UBS AM (US) has informed the Fund that for the period ended August 31, 2024, it earned $749 in initial sales charges on Class A shares.
Transfer agency and related services fees
UBS Financial Services Inc. provides certain services to the Fund pursuant to a delegation of authority from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. ("BNY Mellon"), the Fund's transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by BNY Mellon, not the Fund. For the period ended August 31, 2024, UBS Financial Services Inc. received from BNY Mellon, not the Fund, $35,902 of the total transfer agency and related service fees paid by the Fund to BNY Mellon.

Securities lending
The Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are initially secured at all times by cash, US government securities and irrevocable letters of credit in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities. In the event that the market value of the cash, US government securities, and irrevocable letters of credit securing the loan falls below 100% for domestic securities, and 103% for foreign securities, the borrower must provide additional cash, US government securities, and irrevocable letters of credit so that the total securing the loan is at least 102% of the market value for domestic securities and 105% of the market value for foreign securities.
The Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, US government securities and irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. Cash collateral received is invested in State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, which is included in the Fund's Portfolio of investments. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Fund's lending agent.
At August 31, 2024, the Fund had securities on loan at value, cash collateral and non-cash collateral as follows:
Value of securities on loan | | Cash collateral | | Non-cash collateral* | | Total collateral | | Security types held as non-cash collateral | |
$ | 522,536 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 534,798 | | | $ | 534,798 | | | U.S. Treasury Notes and U.S. Treasury Bills | |
* These securities are held for the benefit of the Fund at the Fund's custodian. The Fund cannot repledge or resell this collateral. As such, collateral is excluded from the Statement of assets and liabilities.
Bank line of credit
The Fund participates with other funds managed by UBS AM in a $185 million committed credit facility (the "Committed Credit Facility") with State Street Bank and Trust Company. The Committed Credit Facility is to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the participating Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The expiration date of the line of credit agreement is March 31, 2025.
Interest on amounts borrowed is calculated based on the prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowing. The funds covered by the Committed Credit Facility have agreed to pay an annual 25 basis point commitment fee on the average daily balance of the Committed Credit Facility not utilized. Commitment fees have been allocated among the funds in the Committed Credit Facility as follows: 50% of the allocation is based on the relative asset size of funds and the other 50% of the allocation is based on utilization.
For the period ended August 31, 2024, the Fund did not borrow under the Committed Credit Facility.
Purchases and sales of securities
For the period ended August 31, 2024, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $116,322,327 and $153,618,992, respectively.

Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (4,443,354 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | $ | 28,431,155 | | |
The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, REIT/ROC open basis adjustments, retained capital gains, premium amortization accruals, and the tax treatment of certain derivative instruments.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the "Fund") (the sole fund constituting UBS Investment Trust (the "Trust")), including the portfolio of investments, as of August 31, 2024, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (the sole fund constituting the Trust) at August 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more UBS investment companies since 1978.

Tax information (unaudited)
We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to advise you as to the federal tax status of distributions received by shareholders during the fiscal year. Accordingly, the amount of ordinary dividends paid that qualify for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders is $1,641,635
For the taxable period ended August 31, 2024, the Fund designates $1,711,684 as the maximum amount that may be considered qualified dividend income for individual shareholders.
Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information reporting.
Shareholders should not use the above information to prepare their tax returns. Since the Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2024. Such notification, which will reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be mailed in February 2025. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.
February 21, 2024 Meeting:
At a meeting of the board of UBS Investment Trust (the "Trust") on February 21, 2024, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered the approval of an amendment to the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract (the "Contract") between UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") and the Trust.
Management discussed with the board its proposal to reorganize UBS AM from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company and to change its name to UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC. Management stated that UBS AM is proposing that the Contract be amended at the time of the closing of the reorganization to reflect UBS AM's new name and form of organization. UBS AM represented, and the board considered, that there was expected to be no change to: (i) the advisory fee or any other amounts to be paid by the Trust; (ii) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by UBS AM; (iii) fund performance; (iv) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by UBS AM and its affiliates from the relationship with the Trust; (v) the realization of economies of scale as the Trust grows; or (vi) any other benefits derived or to be derived by UBS AM from the relationship with the Trust.
The board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the amendment to the Contract. No single factor considered by the board was identified by the board the principal factor in determining whether to approve the amendment to the Contract. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.
July 25-26 Meetings:
At a meeting of the board of UBS Investment Trust (the "Trust") on July 25-26, 2024, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), considered and approved the continuance of the investment advisory and administration contract (the "Investment Advisory and Administration Contract") of the Trust with respect to its series, UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the "Fund"), with UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC ("UBS AM"). In preparing for the meeting, the Independent Trustees had requested and received extensive information from UBS AM to assist them, including information about UBS AM, as well as the advisory, administrative and distribution arrangements for the Fund. The board reviewed and discussed with management the materials provided by UBS AM prior to the scheduled board meeting. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session to review the disclosure that had been made to them. At these sessions the Independent Trustees were joined by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering the approval of advisory, administration and distribution agreements.
In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract, the board reviewed the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of advisory services provided to the Fund by UBS AM under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract during the past year. The board also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, distribution and shareholder services performed by UBS AM and its affiliates for the Fund and the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund's compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS AM concerning the management of the Fund's affairs and UBS AM's role in coordinating and overseeing providers of other services to the Fund. The board's evaluation of the services provided by UBS AM took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS AM's investment advisory and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund's expanded compliance programs.
In connection with its consideration of the Fund's management fees, the board also received information from UBS AM with respect to fees paid by institutional or separate accounts; however, in management's view, such fee information was not very relevant to the Fund given the different structures and regulatory requirements of mutual funds, such as the Fund, versus those accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by the Fund and those accounts. The board also received information on fees charged to other mutual funds managed by UBS AM.
The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel at UBS AM responsible for the Fund and had previously met with and received information regarding the persons primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The board recognized that several senior personnel at UBS AM report to the board regularly and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed report from UBS AM on the Fund's performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS AM and its parent organization, UBS Group AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It also was noted that UBS AM had approximately $395 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2024 and was part of the UBS Asset Management Division, which had approximately $1.2 trillion in assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2024. The board also was cognizant of, and considered, the financial combination transactions, regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past few years involving UBS Group AG, UBS AM and certain of their affiliates.
The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract.
Advisory fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the "Contractual Management Fee") payable by the Fund to UBS AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by UBS AM. The board also reviewed and considered the written agreement between UBS AM and the Fund, which is separate from the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract, whereby UBS AM has agreed to permanently reduce its management fee based on the Fund's average daily net assets, which is discussed in more detail in the "Economies of scale" section, and considered the actual fee rate (after taking this agreement into account) (the "Actual Management Fee"). Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing the Fund's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Broadridge, an independent provider of investment company data (the "Expense Group").
The comparative Broadridge information showed that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were below the respective medians in the Fund's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Broadridge report. (Below median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are lower relative to the median, and above median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are higher relative to the median of the funds in the Expense Group.)
In light of the foregoing, the board determined that the management fee continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract.
Fund performance—The board received and considered (a) annualized total return information of the Fund compared to other funds (the "Performance Universe") selected by Broadridge over the one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2024 and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year period ended April 30, 2024. Although the board received information for the ten-year and since inception periods, in its analysis, it generally placed greater emphasis on the one-, three- and five-year periods. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in its Performance Universe. The board also noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to the Fund's performance, including with respect to its benchmark index.
The comparative Broadridge information showed that the Fund's performance was above the Performance Universe median for all comparative periods, ranking in the first quintile for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. (Below median performance represents performance that is worse relative to the median, and above median performance represents performance that is better relative to the median.) Based on its review, the board concluded that the Fund's investment performance was acceptable.
Advisor profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund and was provided information on UBS AM's expense allocation methodology. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. The board observed that the profitability and expense analyses are substantially similar to those used by UBS AM for many internal purposes, and are subject to regular review with respect to how certain revenues and expenses should be allocated. UBS AM's profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.
Economies of scale—The board received and considered information from management regarding whether UBS AM realized economies of scale as the Fund's assets grew, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any material unshared economies of scale over time, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale for the Fund. The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders. The board noted that the Fund's Contractual Management Fee contained a single breakpoint and that the Fund's assets were below the breakpoint as of April 30, 2024.
While the Fund's Contractual Management Fee contained a single breakpoint, the board recognized that the Fund had entered into a separate agreement with UBS AM, whereby UBS AM agreed to permanently reduce its Contractual Management Fee at higher asset levels by utilizing several additional breakpoints based on the Fund's average daily net assets, thereby achieving the same effect as if the Contractual Management Fee contained multiple breakpoints.
Generally, in light of UBS AM's profitability data, the Actual Management Fee, the Contractual Management Fee, the breakpoints currently in place for the Fund and the current assets of the Fund, the board believed that UBS AM's arrangement for sharing of potential and current economies of scale with the Fund was acceptable.
Other benefits to UBS AM—The board considered other benefits received by UBS AM and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders. In light of the costs of providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Fund and UBS AM's ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract. No single factor reviewed by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS AM were present.
