Semiannual Report

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
April 15, 2013
Dear shareholder,
We present you with the semiannual report for UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) for the six months ended February 28, 2013.
Performance
Over the six months ended February 28, 2013, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 6.32% before deducting the maximum sales charge, and 0.48% after deducting the maximum sales charge. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which tracks large cap US equities, returned 8.95%. Since the Fund invests in both stocks and bonds, we believe it is appropriate to also compare its performance to the UBS U.S. Allocation Fund Index (the “Index”),1 which returned 6.81% during the period. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods and descriptions of the indexes are shown in “Performance at a glance” on pages 6 to 7; please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.)

An interview with Lead Portfolio Manager Curt Custard | ||
Q. | How would you describe the economic environment during the reporting period? | |
A. | While the overall US economy continued to grow during the reporting period, the pace of the expansion was mixed. Looking back, the Commerce Department reported 2.0% gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth in the US for the first quarter of 2012, followed by growth of 1.3% in the second quarter, partially due to weaker consumer spending. After expanding 3.1% in the third quarter, GDP growth was 0.4%2 in the fourth quarter. Decelerating growth was largely driven by weakening private inventory investment, federal government spending and exports. | |
Q. | How did the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) react to the economic environment? | |
A. | The Fed took a number of actions during the reporting period, as it looked to meet its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Throughout the reporting period, the Fed kept the federal funds rate at an extremely low level of between 0% and 0.25% and, on several occasions, extended the period it expected to keep the fed funds rate on hold. Prior to the beginning of the reporting period, the Fed announced its plan to purchase $400 billion of longer-term Treasury securities and sell an equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities by June 2012 (dubbed “Operation Twist”). At its June meeting, the Fed extended Operation Twist until the end of 2012. In September, the Fed launched a third round of quantitative easing (“QE3”), which involved purchasing $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) on an open-ended basis each month. At its final meeting of the year, in December, the Fed said it would continue buying $40 billion a month of agency MBS and purchasing $45 billion a month of longer-term Treasuries. The Fed also said that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold “…as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%,” provided inflation remains well-contained. |

Q. | How did the stock market perform during the reporting period? | |
A. | The US stock market experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period, but ultimately generated strong results. After a strong start in September 2012, given the Fed’s announcement of QE3, the market weakened in October due to renewed economic concerns. However, this proved only to be a temporary setback, as the market posted positive returns over the next four months. While there were several “flights to quality” during that time, they were trumped by overall solid corporate profits, continued Fed policy accommodation, signs of progress in the European sovereign debt crisis and generally robust investor demand. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 8.95% during the six months ended February 28, 2013. | |
Q. | How did the bond market perform during the reporting period? | |
A. | The US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) also experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period. However, investors who assumed greater risk were generally rewarded, as most spread sectors outperformed equal-duration Treasuries during the six months ended February 28, 2013. As was the case in the equity market, shifting investor sentiment impacted the bond market at times during the reporting period. This shift in investor sentiment was often triggered by macro factors, such as moderating global growth, the November elections and uncertainties surrounding the “fiscal cliff.” Regardless, overall demand for the spread sectors was solid, as investors looked to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. While the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index, returned a modest 0.15% during the reporting period, riskier high yield bonds and emerging markets debt produced superior results. | |
Q. | How was the Fund allocated during the reporting period?3 | |
A. | Throughout the reporting period, we adjusted the portfolio given changing economic and market conditions. We started the period underweight to equities versus the Index, with a 60% allocation, as we believed that the asset class was, in general, overvalued. At the same time, we were underweight fixed income, with a 24% allocation to US investment grade bonds, a 7% allocation to US high yield bonds and a 9% cash position. | |
At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was allocated as follows: US equities—66%; US investment grade bonds—25%; US high yield bonds—7%; cash—2%. For comparison purposes, neutral Index weights for the Fund are 65% equities and 35% fixed income. | ||
From a strategy perspective, we increased the Fund’s equity exposure early in the period, as Fed policy accommodation continued and global growth expectations improved. At its peak, our equity exposure was 67.5% from the end of December 2012 through mid-February 2013. This positioning was beneficial for results. Given this strong performance, we chose to pare the Fund’s equity exposure somewhat to reduce the Fund’s overall risk exposure. | ||
Throughout the period under review, we maintained an underweight in US fixed income, as we found it to be extremely overvalued. Within the asset class, we favored investment grade corporate bonds versus Treasuries. In addition, we maintained an overweight to high yield bonds given their attractive yields, generally solid fundamentals and low defaults. | ||
Overall, asset allocation modestly contributed to performance during the reporting period, largely driven by the Fund’s underweight to government bonds. Our equity positioning was also a small positive for results. In contrast, our strategic cash overweight was a drag on performance during the six-month period. | ||
Certain derivative instruments were used during the reporting period. S&P 500 Index futures were used to manage our equity exposure. We also used US Treasury futures to manage bond exposure and duration positioning. |

Q. | What were positive contributors to Fund performance, and what were negative contributors? | |
A. | In the US Equity Research equity portion of the Fund, stock selection contributed the most to performance. Sector positioning was also beneficial, albeit to a lesser extent. In terms of stock selection, our holdings in the energy, financials and materials sectors were the most beneficial for performance. However, this was partially offset by negative stock selection in the telecommunication services, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. | |
The largest stock contributors in the portfolio were Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Inc. and Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Global financial services companies Morgan Stanley and Citigroup sharply rallied, as investment sentiment for both firms improved during the reporting period. This was triggered by signs of strengthening balance sheets, positive Fed “stress test” results, continued economic expansion and a turnaround in the US housing market. In addition, expectations rose that the federal government will soon allow the companies to return capital to investors in the form of increased dividends and share buybacks. We maintain our overweight positions in the two companies, as we believe that they have solid growth prospects and continue to be attractively valued. An overweight position in car rental company Hertz Global Holdings was beneficial for results as its shares moved higher during the reporting period. The company reported strong fourth quarter 2012 results and raised its earnings outlook for 2013. In addition, investors had a positive view of Hertz Global Holdings’ acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group, which was completed in November 2012. On the downside, ServiceSource International, NII Holdings, Inc. and Apple, Inc. were the largest stock detractors from results. ServiceSource International is a customer management software company. The company’s shares performed poorly due to a delay of the rollout of new software and disappointing fourth quarter earnings results. In addition, the company’s 2013 earnings outlook also fell short of analysts’ expectations. We maintain our position, as we like the company’s reoccurring revenue stream from its software products. NII Holdings provides mobile communications for business customers in Latin America. Its shares declined given a delay in its transition from a 2G to a 3G network in Brazil. Against this backdrop, NII Holdings reported weaker than expected financial results and subscriber growth. Despite these headwinds, we still like the company, as its shares are extremely attractive from a valuation perspective and we believe that the 3G upgrade will lead to meaningfully improved subscriber growth and earnings. Apple is a leading supplier of personal computers and consumer electronic devices. Its shares have sharply fallen since their peak in the fall of 2012. Sentiment regarding the company has waned, as it has lost market share to Samsung Electronics in the smartphone market. In addition, there have been concerns of potential cannibalization of the iPad from the iPad Mini. We believe these concerns are overblown and that Apple will continue to grow its revenue at a rate above the overall industry. Furthermore, Apple continues to enjoy profit margins that are superior to its competitors, and, as such, we added to our position in the company during the reporting period. From a sector positioning perspective, an underweight to information technology and overweights to industrials and health care were the largest contributors to relative performance. Conversely, an underweight to financials and overweights to telecommunication services and energy slightly detracted from relative results. In the US growth equity portion of the Fund, stock selection contributed to performance while sector positioning detracted from results. In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the information technology, financials and energy sectors were the most beneficial for performance. However, this was partially offset by negative stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrials and consumer staples sectors. Looking at individual stocks, Visa, Inc., Gilead Sciences Inc. and Las Vegas Sands Corp. were the largest contributors to results. Visa is the leading provider of debit processing to US card issuers. The company continued to report accelerating earnings during the reporting period. In addition, investor sentiment regarding Visa improved, as the regulatory environment regarding debit transactions was less onerous than once feared. We continue to believe that Visa enjoys a sustainable competitive advantage in payment processing and will |

benefit from secular growth in card-based payments in the coming years. Healthcare company Gilead Sciences’ shares rallied during the reporting period and its HIV drugs continued to generate strong sales. In addition, Gilead Sciences’ experimental Hepatitis C drug produced excellent clinical results and its shares rallied given expectations for a potential blockbuster product for the company. Las Vegas Sands is an integrated casino operator in the US and Asia. Its shares moved higher due to better than expected revenue growth for the Macau market. We believe Las Vegas Sand’s leading position in Macau and Singapore should enable it to take market share and lead to strong free cash flow generation going forward. Teradata Corp., Dollar General Corp. and VMware, Inc. were among the largest detractors from results during the reporting period. Teradata is a global provider of enterprise data warehousing solutions. Its results are closely tied to enterprise spending on technology from companies and governments around the world. Although Teradata reported earnings that met expectations, it shares weakened as the company provided a conservative outlook for the coming quarters due to a number of macro uncertainties. We believe that the selloff created an attractive risk/reward opportunity and added to our position on weakness on Teradata. Dollar General is a leading discount retailer in the US. Its shares performed poorly due to fears that the increased payroll tax would negatively impact discretionary spending from its lower income customer base. We continue to believe that Dollar General offers attractive growth with defensive characteristics at a modest valuation. As such, we purchased additional shares during the reporting period. VMware is a provider of virtualization-based infrastructure software. Its shares declined as the company reported disappointing results and management reduced its earnings outlook for 2013. Our view on the fundamentals of the company is unchanged, as we believe that VMware is uniquely positioned to benefit from the increasing need for management tools, as more workloads are required to have a mobile component that allows them to travel between “clouds” in a secure manner and added to our position on weakness on VMware. From a sector positioning perspective, an overweight to information technology and underweights to financials and industrials were the largest detractors from relative results. Conversely, overweights to consumer discretionary, energy and health care contributed to relative performance. | ||
Q. | How did you manage the Fund’s fixed income exposure during the reporting period? | |
A. | The Fund’s fixed income exposure was positive for performance during the six-month period. In particular, the portfolio benefited from an overweight exposure to high yield corporate bonds and from tactical positioning in the investment grade corporate bond market. Both of these fixed income sectors delivered positive excess returns versus comparable duration Treasuries during the reporting period. While the Fund also held a position in securitized sectors, such as mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), these sectors did not meaningfully impact performance. On the downside, the Fund’s US Treasury exposure was a modest negative for performance, as yields rose across the curve during the six-month period. Elsewhere, duration and yield curve positioning did not significantly impact the Fund’s performance. (Duration measures the price sensitivity of a portfolio to interest rate change and the yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.) | |
Certain derivative instruments, including interest rate futures, were used to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. US Treasury futures were used to adjust the Fund’s duration positioning. In addition, we implemented an inflation-linked swap position, in October 2012, to express our view that market expectations for inflation in the US were too high. | ||
Q. | What is your outlook for the US economy? | |
A. | The US economy has proven its resiliency and has been stronger than many of its developed market country counterparts. That said, while we expect growth in the US to continue, the expansion is likely to be relatively modest, with GDP of perhaps 2% in 2013. One notable area supporting the economy is the housing market, as it finally appears to have turned the corner. In contrast, the impact of government spending cuts will serve as a headwind for the economy. |

We currently view US equities as being slightly overvalued and fixed income as being significantly overvalued. Given a number of global macro uncertainties facing investors, we expect to see periods of continued market volatility as the year progresses.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the December 29, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.03% and 1.03%; Class C—1.79% and 1.79%; and Class Y—0.75% and 0.75%.
Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Fund and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”) have entered into a written agreement, separate from UBS Global AM’s investment advisory agreement with the Fund, whereby UBS Global AM has agreed to permanently reduce its management fees based on the Fund’s average daily net assets to the following rates: $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%; over $2 billion: 0.35%. Effective December 29, 2012, UBS Global AM has contractually undertaken to waive fees/reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses, when necessary, so that the ordinary total annual operating expenses of each class through December 31, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investments in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses, if any) would not exceed 1.15% for Class A, 1.90% for Class C and 0.90% for Class Y.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees. |
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total return presented for the Class C shares shown above. |
3 The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service fees. |

Understanding your Fund’s expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable), including sales charges (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees (if applicable); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, September 1, 2012 to February 28, 2013.
Actual expenses (unaudited)
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 (unaudited)
The second line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’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 Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Fund costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs (as applicable), such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line in the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing Fund 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.

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.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class Y 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 Class A and Class C shares each have exclusive voting rights with respect to their respective service and/or distribution plans. Class Y 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 or 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 such claims or losses through February 28, 2013 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. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Valuation of investments
The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities and other instruments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized evaluation systems that derive values based on comparable securities or instruments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluation by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities or instruments. Securities and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from recognized dealers in those holdings.
Securities and instruments traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Securities and instruments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges 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. In cases where securities or instruments are traded on more than one exchange, the securities or instruments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM” or the “Advisor”), the investment advisor of the Fund. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. If a market value is not readily available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security or instrument is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s or instrument’s fair value. These factors include, but

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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; 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 are fair valued.
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, investments in non-registered investment companies are also valued at the daily net asset value. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.
The Board has delegated to the UBS Global AM Global Valuation Committee (“GVC”) the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Fund’s holdings. The GVC is comprised of representatives of management, including members of the investment team. The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any securities or instruments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, 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 GVC 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 of securities valuations.
US GAAP requires disclosure surrounding 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.
In accordance with US GAAP, a fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.
In January 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-01 (“ASU 2013-01”), “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 (“ASU 2011-11”), “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”) require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. The Fund may enter into derivative contracts that 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. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. The Advisor is not aware of any additional credit-risk contingent features on derivative contracts held by the Fund (other than those described earlier). The volume of derivatives that is presented in the Portfolio of investments of the Fund is consistent with the derivative activity during the six months ended February 28, 2013.
At February 28, 2013, the Fund had the following derivatives categorized by underlying risk:

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. 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 US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds, equities and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. If the seller (or seller’s guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the 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 may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS Global AM in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to Section 17(d) of the 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 assessed 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 at the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Investment transactions, investment income and expenses
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income is recorded net of withholding taxes 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.
Securities traded on to-be-announced basis
The Fund may from time to time purchase securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying security transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid 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.
Purchased options
The Fund may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included on the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. Purchased options are shown as fund holdings within the Portfolio of investments and are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities in investments in unaffiliated securities, at value.
Futures contracts
The Fund may use futures contracts as part of its investment strategy, for hedging purposes to adjust exposure to US and foreign markets in connection with a reallocation of the Fund’s assets or to manage the average duration of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts or purchase options thereon to increase or reduce its exposure to an asset class without purchasing or selling the underlying securities, either as a hedge or to enhance performance. 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.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or government securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, generally are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts, except that in the case of
37 |
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
certain futures contracts payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.
Swap agreements
The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap agreement to comply with the terms of the agreement. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment to be received by the Fund. Therefore, the Fund considers the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.
The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swaps, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap contracts on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of interest rate swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swaps within the Statement of operations.
Inflation swap agreements are used to hedge inflation risk by transferring inflation risk from one party to another through an exchange of cash flows. In an inflation swap, one party pays a fixed rate on a notional principal amount while the other party pays a floating rate linked to an inflation index on that same notional amount. The party paying the floating rate pays the inflation adjusted rate multiplied by the notional principal amount. If the average inflation rate over the term of the swap is the same as the fixed rate of the swap, the two legs will have the same value and the swap will break even.
Dividends and distributions
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amounts of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from 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.
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. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

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 Global AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund is to pay UBS Global AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is to be accrued daily 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 Global 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 six months ended February 28, 2013, UBS Global AM did not waive any investment advisory and administration fees. At February 28, 2013, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $98,250 for investment advisory and administration fees.
UBS Global 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 and extraordinary expenses, if any) of Class A, Class C and Class Y shares at a level not to exceed 1.15%, 1.90% and 0.90%, respectively through December 31, 2013. The Fund will repay UBS Global AM for any previously waived fees/reimbursed expenses during the three-year period following August 31, 2012, 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 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 six months ended February 28, 2013, the Fund had no fee waivers/expense reimbursements subject to repayment.
For the six months ended February 28, 2013, the Fund paid $314 in brokerage commissions to UBS Securities LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, for transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
The Fund may invest in certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by the Advisor. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the six months ended February 28, 2013 were as follows:
Affiliated investment company | Value at 08/31/12 | Purchases during the six months ended 02/28/13 | Sales during the six months ended 02/28/13 | Net realized gain | Change in net unrealized appreciation | Value at 02/28/13 | ||||||

Under normal conditions, the Fund invests cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC (“Private Money Market”), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by UBS Global AM and is currently offered as a cash management option to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Fund’s investment manager. UBS Global AM acts as managing member and receives a management fee from Private Money Market payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.10% of

Private Money Market’s average daily members’ equity, minus the aggregate operating expenses of, and incurred by, Private Money Market during each such related month, not including investment expenses (including brokerage commissions, taxes, interest charges and other costs with respect to transactions in securities) and extraordinary expenses including litigation expenses, if any. UBS Global AM may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses or net yields at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, if any, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, would be reflected as securities lending income in the Statement of operations.
Amounts relating to the investment for the six months ended February 28, 2013, were as follows:

Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Professor Meyer Feldberg serves as a senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, a financial services firm with which the Fund may conduct transactions, resulting in him being an interested trustee of the Fund. The Fund 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 February 28, 2013, the Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley in the amount of $2,056.
During the six months ended February 28, 2013, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley, having an aggregate value of $19,772,455. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by the Fund’s investment manager, it is believed that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.
Service and distribution plans
UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. (“UBS Global AM—(US)”) is the principal underwriter of the Fund’s shares. Under separate plans of service and/or distribution pertaining to Class A and Class C shares, the Fund pays UBS Global AM—(US) monthly service fees at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A and Class C shares and monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. At February 28, 2013, the Fund owed UBS Global AM—(US) $85,589 for service and distribution fees.
UBS Global AM—(US) also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid by shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charges paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A and Class C shares. UBS Global AM—(US) has informed the Fund that for the six months ended February 28, 2013, it earned $3,845 and $334 in initial sales and deferred sales charges on Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

Transfer agency related services
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.

Securities lending
The Fund may lend securities up to 33⅓% 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 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 or irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Fund’s lending agent.
Bank line of credit
The Fund participates with other funds managed or 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 Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, the Fund has agreed to pay a commitment fee, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the funds in the Committed Credit Facility. The Fund borrows at prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowings. The Fund did not borrow under the Committed Credit Facility during the six months ended February 28, 2013.
Purchases and sales of securities

Federal tax status
The Fund 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 Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012 was as follows:
Distributions paid from: | 2012 |
Ordinary Income | $2,278,911 |
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 Fund’s fiscal year ending August 31, 2013.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized by the Fund after the December 31, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short term and/or long term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
At August 31, 2012, the Fund had a pre-enactment net capital loss carryforward of $108,421,532. This pre-enactment capital 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: $25,990,435 in 2017 and $82,431,097 in 2018. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $13,445,922 of capital loss carryforwards to offset prior year realized gains.
As of and during the period ended February 28, 2013, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the six months ended February 28, 2013, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended August 31, 2012, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
