UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
October 15, 2009
Dear shareholder, We present you with the annual report for UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) for the 12 months ended August 31, 2009. Performance
Over the 12 months ended August 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares declined 17.49% before deducting the maximum sales charge; after deducting the maximum sales charge, the decline was 22.03%. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which tracks large cap US equities, declined 18.25%. Since the Fund invests in both stocks and bonds, we feel it is appropriate to also compare its performance to the UBS U.S. Allocation Fund Index,** which declined 9.37%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods and descriptions of the indices are shown in “Performance at a glance” on pages 8 and 9; 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.) | | | | UBS U.S. Allocation Fund

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
An interview with Lead Portfolio Manager Curt Custard |
Q. | | Can you describe the economic environment during the reporting period? |
A. | | The 12-month reporting period was marked by some of the most challenging economic and market conditions in a generation. The bursting of the housing bubble, a severe credit crunch, lower business and consumer spending and surging unemployment caused the US economy to weaken significantly, with US gross domestic product declining in each quarter of the reporting period. As the reporting period ended, however, signs of recovery were seen to be emerging, and it appears that the financial markets have largely stabilized following the extreme turmoil of 2008. |
| | |
Q. | | How did the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) react in this economic environment? |
A. | | Both the Fed and US Treasury Department were extremely active given the magnitude of the economic decline and the turmoil in the financial markets. In addition to flooding the financial system with billions of dollars since the recession began in December 2007, the Fed and Treasury were actively involved in the acquisition and mergers of several storied financial institutions. The Treasury also oversaw the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) and introduced the Public-Private Partnership Investment Program (PPIP), the latter of which is seeking to facilitate the purchase of $40 billion of toxic mortgage assets from bank balance sheets. The Obama administration has made the revival of the economy a leading priority with a $787 billion stimulus package. |
| | |
| | To bolster the economy, the Fed reduced the fed funds rate on several occasions during the reporting period. (The Federal funds rate, or “fed funds” rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) When the period began, the fed funds rate was 2.00%, and the Fed was holding rates steady, citing inflationary pressures on the back of soaring oil and food prices. However, with the global financial crisis rapidly escalating and oil prices falling sharply, the Fed moved into action in October 2008. The Fed first lowered rates on October 8, as the Fed joined several other central banks from around the world in a coordinated interest rate cut. This was followed by another rate reduction at the Fed’s regularly scheduled meeting on October 29. Together, these cuts brought the federal funds rate to 1.00%. |
| | |
| | During its meeting on December 16, 2008, the Fed aggressively cut the fed funds rate to a range of 0.00% to 0.25%—a record low. The Fed has since maintained this rate as it evaluates incoming economic data. In conjunction with its August 2009 meeting, the Fed said, “Conditions |

| | in financial markets have improved further in recent weeks... Although economic activity is likely to remain weak for a time, the Committee continues to anticipate that policy actions to stabilize financial markets and institutions, fiscal and monetary stimulus, and market forces will contribute to a gradual resumption of sustainable economic growth in a context of price stability.” |
| | |
Q. | | How did the stock market perform during the reporting period? |
A. | | After generating extremely poor results during the first six months of the reporting period, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”), generated strong results during the second half of the reporting period. There was no shortage of catalysts causing stocks to perform poorly from September 2008 through February 2009. They included the rapidly weakening global economy, turmoil in the financial markets, frozen credit conditions, a lack of liquidity and plunging corporate profits. |
| | |
| | However, after reaching a 12-year low on March 9, 2009, stock prices in the US sharply rallied given expectations that the worst of the global recession may be behind us. From their March low through August 31, 2009, US stocks gained approximately 50%. However, this gain was not enough to overcome the stock market’s earlier weakness, as the S&P 500 Index was down 18.25% during the 12 months ended August 31, 2009. |
| | |
Q. | | How did the bond market perform during the reporting period? |
A. | | The US bond market as a whole generated positive results during the 12-month reporting period. After a lengthy period of heightened risk aversion, investors were gradually drawn to lower-quality, non-Treasury securities. This was prompted by signs that the US government’s aggressive initiatives to stabilize the financial markets were succeeding, and also due to optimism that positive economic growth would return later in 2009. In particular, lower-rated securities generated exceptional returns during the second half of the reporting period. Overall, during the 12 months ended August 31, 2009, the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index, returned 7.94%.* |
|
* | | The Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index (formerly known as the Lehman Brothers US Aggregate Index) covers the USD-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market of SEC-registered adjustable-rate mortgage securities. The Index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), and commercial mortgage-backed security sectors. US Agency Hybrid Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM) securities were added to the US Aggregate Index on April 1, 2007. |

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Q. | | How was the Fund allocated at the end of the reporting period? |
A. | | During the 12 months ended August 31, 2009, we maintained an overweight to stocks versus the UBS U.S. Allocation Fund Index. Over the same period, we held a relative underweight exposure to investment grade US bonds. This positioning detracted from results as stocks underperformed bonds during the reporting period. We reduced the Fund’s overweight to the strong-performing high yield bond sector to a neutral weighting at the end of the period. |
| | |
| | We chose to lower the Fund’s allocation to high yield bonds during the reporting period as their spreads narrowed from their historically wide levels in 2008, and they significantly outperformed both the investment grade bond and the stock markets. (Spread is the difference between the yield paid on US Treasury bonds and higher-risk securities.) We used those proceeds to increase our exposure to investment grade bonds, as we found them to be more attractively valued. |
| | |
| | At the end of the reporting period, the Fund was overweight to equities, had a neutral weighting to high yield debt and underweight to US investment grade bonds in relation to the target allocation of the UBS U.S. Allocation Fund Index. |
| | |
Q. | | Which equity strategies performed well during the reporting period, and which areas produced disappointing results? |
A. | | During the reporting period, sector positioning detracted from the Fund’s performance. This was somewhat offset by strong stock selection. From a sector allocation perspective, an underweight to consumer staples and overweight to the financials and energy sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Conversely, an overweight to consumer discretionary and underweight to materials stocks positively impacted the Fund’s performance. |
| | |
| | In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s best relative results were in the information technology, health care and financials sectors. In contrast, security selection in the telecommunication services, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors detracted the most from results. Looking at individual stocks, some of the largest contributors to the Fund’s performance were its holdings of Marvell Technology Group, Apple, Inc. and VMware, Inc. On the downside, the Fund’s holdings of AFLAC, Inc., Sprint Nextel Corp. and Halliburton Co. were a drag on performance. |
4
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Q. | | How did you manage the Fund’s fixed income exposure during the reporting period? |
A. | | During the reporting period, the Fund’s underweight to US Treasuries was a positive for performance. Our analysis indicated that Treasuries were overvalued, and we held an underweight position throughout the reporting period. This contributed to relative results, as the spread sectors rallied during the second half of the reporting period and outperformed Treasuries during the 12-month period as a whole. |
| | |
| | From an asset allocation perspective, the Fund’s overweight to high yield debt benefited performance. As risky assets outperformed, high yield debt rallied significantly during the reporting period. While issue selection within high yield bonds detracted from performance, the Fund’s overweight positioning in the high yield sector helped Fund performance overall. In addition, security selection within the sector lagged the benchmark due to conservative positioning. As high yield spreads—the difference between the yields paid on these securities versus those paid on US Treasuries—narrowed, riskier issues outperformed during the reporting period. |
| | |
Q. | | What is your outlook for the economy? |
A. | | Overall, it appears that many of the stimulus plans created by policy makers at the US Treasury Department and the Fed are having their intended effect—increasing liquidity within the financial system and providing credit to consumers and businesses. While the US economy continues to feel the pain of the recession, a few indicators, including the housing market, manufacturing and consumer confidence, have begun to show improvements. Although the unemployment rate is at a 26-year high, the pace of job losses on a monthly basis has decreased after reaching extremely high levels earlier in the year. |
| | |
| | Equity markets have rallied in response to the improving economic news, and we expect to continue to position the Fund for an ongoing recovery in this area. From a fixed income perspective, we expect the rally in lower-quality assets to persist, given stabilization in the financial markets, but believe that volatility will remain high as the effects of the stimulus-fueled rally fade. |

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, March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009.
Actual expenses
The first line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over a period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each class of shares under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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.

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

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
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 Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, 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.
Currently, the Fund offers Class A, Class B, 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. In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend shares automatically convert to Class A shares within a certain number of years after issuance which varies depending upon the amount invested. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that Class A, Class B 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.
As of October 1, 2007, new or additional investments into Class B shares, including investments through an automatic investment plan, are not permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares may: (i) continue as Class B shareholders; (ii) continue to reinvest dividends and distributions into Class B shares; and (iii) exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other series of the UBS Family of Funds, as permitted by existing exchange privileges. For Class B shares outstanding on October 1, 2007 and Class B shares acquired upon reinvestment of dividends or distributions or through exchanges, all Class B share attributes, including the associated Rule 12b-1 service plan and distribution fees, contingent deferred sales charges and conversion features will continue.
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 prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles requires the Fund’s management to make
56
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Valuation of investments—The Fund calculates net asset values based on the current value for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains values for its securities from independent pricing sources. Independent pricing sources may use last reported sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price available prior to valuation. Securities which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”). If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (particularly non-US securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, these securities would be fair valued. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. 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 and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, swaps are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.

Notes to financial statements
On September 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 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—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 value of investments.
In accordance with the requirements of FAS 157, a summary of the inputs used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments as of August 31, 2009 has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.
In September 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45” (the “FSP”). The FSP amends FASB Statement No. 133 (“FAS 133”), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and also amends FASB Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others”. The amendments to FAS 133 include required disclosure for (i) the nature and terms of the credit derivative, reasons for entering into the credit derivative, the events or circumstances that would require the seller to perform under the credit derivative, and the current status of the payment/performance risk of the credit derivative, (ii) the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the seller could be required to make under the credit derivative, (iii) the fair value of the credit derivative, and (iv) the nature of any recourse provisions and assets held either as collateral or by third parties. The amendments to FIN 45 require additional disclosures about the current status of the payment/performance risk of a guarantee. All changes to accounting policies have been made in accordance with the FSP and incorporated for the current period.

Notes to financial statements
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 161”), which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. 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 FAS 133 hedge accounting. Accordingly, even though a fund’s investment in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of FAS 161 disclosure. FAS 161 requires that (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. FAS 161 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments.
At August 31, 2009, the Fund had the following derivatives (not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS No. 133):

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 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 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
60
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
be subject to legal proceedings. The Fund may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM.
Under certain circumstances, a 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.
Investment transactions, investment income and expenses—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date (“ex-date”). Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.
Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes). Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.
Investing in non-US securities—Investing in non-US securities may involve more risks than investing in US securities. Investments in non-US securities may involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which US and non-US issuers are subject. These risks may include expropriation, confiscatory taxation, withholding taxes on interest and/or dividends, limitations on the use of or transfer of Fund assets and political or social instability or diplomatic developments.
Securities of non-US issuers may not be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the issuers thereof may not be subject to its reporting requirements.
The Fund may invest in non-US securities by purchasing American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). ADRs are receipts typically issued by a US bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying securities.
61
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
ADRs are publicly traded on exchanges or over-the-counter in the United States and are issued through “sponsored” or “unsponsored” arrangements. Under an unsponsored arrangement, the depositary’s transaction fees are paid directly by the ADR holders.
Investment income and realized gains on certain non-US securities in which the Fund may invest may be subject to non-US withholding or other taxes that could reduce the return on the securities. Tax conventions between the United States and certain non-US countries, however, may reduce or eliminate the amount of non-US taxes to which the Fund would be subject.
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.
At August 31, 2009, the Fund did not hold any TBA securities.
Option writing—The Fund may write (sell) put and call options on securities or derivative instruments in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets. When 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 an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized 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
62
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
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.
Purchased options—The Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently market to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
Futures contracts—The Fund may use financial 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 return or realize gains. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. However, imperfect correlations between futures contracts and the related securities or markets, or market disruptions, do not normally permit full control of these risks at all times. The maximum amount at risk from the purchase of a futures contract is the contract value or the loss of the benefit of the transaction should the counterparty default.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or 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
63
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures contracts payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.
Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. If the Fund was unable to liquidate a futures position due to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price limits, it could incur substantial losses and would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, the Fund would continue to be required to make variation margin payments and might be required to maintain the position being hedged or to maintain cash or securities in a separate account. Furthermore, certain characteristics of the futures market might increase the risk that movements in the prices of the financial futures contracts might not correlate perfectly with movements in the prices of the investments being hedged, including temporary price distortion. The separate account for margin will be maintained at the futures counterparty and may be subject to risks or delays if the counterparty becomes insolvent.
Interest rate 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 itself 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.
Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the contract. 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 contract in evaluating potential credit risk.
The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts 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
64
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
of swap contracts on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swaps.
Credit default swap agreements—Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default of a security or a credit event. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no 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 pays full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
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. 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.
The use of swaps involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If the Fund’s adviser is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund may be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swaps do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, the Fund’s risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled
65
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
to receive. Therefore, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.
Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US generally accepted accounting principles. 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.
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 or region.
Investment advisor and administrator
The Board has approved an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract (“Advisory Contract”), under which UBS Global AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the 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 year ended August 31, 2009, UBS Global AM did not waive any investment advisory and
66
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
administration fees. At August 31, 2009, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $146,023 in investment advisory and administration fees.
Effective August 1, 2009, 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 of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares at a level not to exceed 1.15%, 1.90%, 1.90% and 0.90%, respectively through December 31, 2010 (excluding interest expense, if any, and extraordinary expenses). The Fund will repay UBS Global AM for any such waivers/reimbursements during the following three-year period to the extent that operating expenses are otherwise below the expense caps. UBS Global AM did not waive fees/reimburse expenses during the year ended August 31, 2009.
For the year ended August 31, 2009, the Fund paid $32,162 in brokerage commissions to UBS Securities LLC., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, for transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Professor Meyer Feldberg serves as a senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, resulting in him being an interested director 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. Fund transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley in the amount of $20,653. During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $12,720,770. 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
67
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
and/or distribution pertaining to Class A, Class B 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, Class B and Class C shares and monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At August 31, 2009, the Fund owed UBS Global AM—US $130,438 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, Class B and Class C shares. UBS Global AM—US has informed the Fund that for the year ended August 31, 2009, it earned $19,912, $8,858, and $1,153 in initial sales and deferred sales charges on Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Redemption fees
There is a redemption fee of 1.00% on any class of shares if an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, subject to certain exemptions as noted in the prospectus. For the year ended August 31, 2009, the Fund received $21,779 in redemption fees.
Transfer agency related services fees
UBS Financial Services Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG, provides certain services pursuant to a delegation of authority from PNC Global Investment Servicing (“PNC”), the Fund’s transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by PNC, not the Fund.
For the year ended August 31, 2009, UBS Financial Services Inc. received from PNC, not the Fund, $253,830 of the total transfer agency and related services fees paid by the Fund to PNC.
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 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 may 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
68
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
securities or irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. As of November 12, 2008, State Street Bank & Trust Company is the Fund’s lending agent. Prior to November 12, 2008, UBS Securities LLC was the Fund’s lending agent. For the period September 1, 2008 through November 12, 2008, UBS Securities LLC earned $3,573 in compensation as the Fund’s lending agent. At August 31, 2009, the Fund had securities on loan having a market value of $42,208,929.
Bank line of credit
The Fund participates with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM in a $100 million committed credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“Committed Credit Facility”), to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the 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. Interest is charged to the Fund at the overnight federal funds rate in effect at the time of borrowings, plus 0.50%. The Fund did not borrow under the Committed Credit Facility during the year ended August 31, 2009.
Purchases and sales of securities
For the year ended August 31, 2009, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities and US Government securities, were $211,150,244 and $288,481,413, respectively.
For the year ended August 31, 2009, aggregate purchases and sales of US Government securities, excluding short-term securities, were $162,461,165 and $179,282,219, respectively.
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 difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/ depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, return of capital adjustments from real estate investment trusts and tax treatment of futures transactions.
At August 31, 2009, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of $116,164,060. This loss carryforward is available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized capital gains and will expire as follows: $76,727,703 in 2011 and $39,436,357 in 2017. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed.
In accordance with US Treasury regulations, the Fund has elected to defer realized capital losses of $93,101,007 and realized currency losses of $19,119 arising after October 31, 2008. Such losses are treated for tax purposes as arising on September 1, 2009.
To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ending August 31, 2009, undistributed net investment income was increased by $331,179, and accumulated net realized loss from investment transactions was increased by $331,179. These differences are primarily due to return of capital adjustments from real estate investment trusts, reclassification of swap income, foreign currency transactions, and paydown reclasses.
As of and during the year ended August 31, 2009, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended August 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Capital contributions from investment manager
On April 17, 2008, the Fund recorded a capital contribution from UBS Global AM in the amount of $3,728. This amount was paid by UBS Global AM in connection with losses incurred due to changes in the valuation of securities.
On April 18, 2008, the Fund recorded a capital contribution from State Street Bank and Trust Co. and UBS Global AM in the amount of $25,561. Of this amount, $15,337 was paid by State Street Bank and Trust Co., and $10,224 was paid by UBS Global AM, in connection with losses incurred due to incorrect transfer agent fee accruals on Class B shares during the period September 11, 2007 through March 31, 2008.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the sole series comprising UBS Investment Trust) (the “Fund”) as of August 31, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and others, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS U.S. Allocation Fund at August 31, 2009, 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 the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Tax information (unaudited)
We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to advise you within 60 days of the Fund’s fiscal year end (August 31, 2009) as to the federal tax status of distributions received by shareholders during such fiscal year. The percentage of dividends paid that qualify for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders is 56.45%.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, certain dividends paid by UBS U.S. Allocation Fund may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 15%, as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. Of the distributions paid during the fiscal year, $4,981,175 represents the maximum amount that may be considered qualified dividend income.
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.
Since the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent in respect of calendar year 2009. The second 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 2010. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
Background—At a meeting of the board of UBS Investment Trust (the “Trust”) on July 15-16, 2009, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (“Independent Trustees”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement of the Trust with respect to its series, UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), with UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”). In preparing for the meeting, the board members had requested and received extensive information from UBS Global AM to assist them. The board received and considered a variety of information about UBS Global AM as well as the advisory, administrative and distribution arrangements for the Fund. The Independent Trustees discussed the materials initially provided by management prior to the scheduled board meeting. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session after management’s presentation was completed to review the disclosure that had been made to them at the meeting. At all of 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 approval of advisory, administration and distribution agreements.
In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the investment advisory and administration agreement—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of advisory services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM under the Investment Advisory and Administrative Agreement during the past year. The board also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by UBS Global 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 Global AM concerning the management of the Fund’s affairs and UBS Global AM’s role in coordinating providers of other services to the Fund, including custody, accounting and transfer agency services. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by UBS Global AM took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity
76
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS Global 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 Global 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.
The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM and had previously received information regarding the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and recognized that the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM report to the board regularly, some at every board meeting, and that at each regular meeting the board receives a report on the Fund’s performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS Global AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS Global AM and its parent organization, UBS AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS Global AM and noted that it is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It was also noted that UBS Global AM had approximately $142 billion in assets under management and was part of the UBS Global Asset Management Division, which had approximately $507 billion of assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2009. The board was also cognizant of, and considered, the regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past few years involving UBS AG, UBS Global AM and certain of their affiliates.
The board reviewed how transactions in Fund assets are effected. The board also reviewed the Fund’s brokerage policies and practices, the standards applied in seeking best execution, policies and practices regarding soft dollars, the use of a broker affiliated with UBS Global AM and the existence of quality controls applicable to brokerage allocation procedures. In addition, UBS Global AM also reported to the board on, among other things, its disaster recovery plans and portfolio manager compensation plan.
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 Agreement.

Advisory fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (“Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS Global AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by UBS Global AM. The board also reviewed and considered the written agreement between UBS Global AM and the Fund, which is separate from UBS Global AM’s investment advisory agreement with the Fund, whereby UBS Global 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 overall expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data (the “Expense Group”).
In addition management proposed, and the Board approved, a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse the Fund so that the Fund’s ordinary net expenses through December 31, 2010 (excluding interest expense, if any, and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed 1.15% for Class A shares, 1.90% for Class B shares, 1.90% for Class C shares and 0.90% for Class Y shares. Management also noted that these expense caps were set at a higher level than each class’s current annual expenses but that if the Fund’s net expense ratio increased (for instance, due to a decrease in assets under management) above the level of the proposed expense caps, the Fund’s ordinary net expenses would be limited to the proposed caps.
In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s advisory fees, the board also received information on UBS Global AM’s standard institutional account fees for accounts of a similar investment type to the Fund. The board noted that, in general, these fees were lower than the Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee for the Fund, but also noted management’s explanation that comparisons with such accounts may be of limited relevance given the different structures and regulatory requirements of mutual funds versus such accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by mutual funds and such accounts. The board
78
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
also received information on fees charged to other mutual funds managed by UBS Global AM.
The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee was in the first quintile and Actual Management Fee and total expenses were in the second quintile in the Fund’s Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report (with the first quintile representing that 20% of the funds in the Expense group with the lowest level of fees or expenses, as applicable, and the fifth quintile representing that 20% of the funds in the Expense Group with the highest level of fees or expenses, as applicable).
Taking all of the above into consideration, the board determined that the management fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement.
Fund performance—The board received and considered (a) annualized total return information of the Fund compared to other funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper over the one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2009 and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year period ended April 30, 2009. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper 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 Lipper information showed that the Fund’s performance was in the fifth quintile for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods and the third quintile since inception (with the first quintile representing that 20% of the funds in the Performance Universe with the highest performance and the fifth quintile representing that 20% of the funds in the Performance Universe with the lowest performance). Management explained that during most of the past year, the Fund was underweight fixed-income and overweight U.S. equities when measured against its customized benchmark—the UBS U.S. Allocation Fund Index, comprised of the Russell 3000 Index, the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index and the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index. Within its
79
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
fixed-income component, the Fund was underweight investment grade fixed-income securities and overweight high yield securities. This positioning, both on an overall portfolio level, and within the fixed-income component, detracted from results versus its benchmark. Management also noted the more recent improved performance of the Fund in 2009 and also noted the recent change in the lead portfolio manager for the Fund. Based on its review and management’s explanation, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was acceptable, but would continue to closely monitor the Fund’s performance over the upcoming year.
Adviser profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS Global AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. UBS Global 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 Global AM has achieved economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of 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 shareholders. The board also considered whether alternative fee structures (such as breakpoints) would be more appropriate or reasonable taking into consideration economies of scale or other efficiencies.
Although the board noted that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee did not contain breakpoints, it recognized that the Trust had entered into an agreement with UBS Global AM, whereby UBS Global AM agreed to permanently reduce its Contractual Management Fee by utilizing breakpoints based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, thereby achieving the same effect as if the Contractual Management Fee contained breakpoints.
Generally, in light of UBS Global AM’s profitability data and the Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee currently in place, the board believed that UBS Global AM’s sharing of current economies of scale with the Fund was acceptable.
80
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)
Other benefits to UBS Global AM—The board considered other benefits received by UBS Global 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 management, administrative and other services to the Fund and UBS Global AM’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS Global AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement to continue for another year. In making its decision, the board identified no single factor as being determinative in approving the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the entire process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement in a private session with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS Global AM were present.

| 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 Global [Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global 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 Global [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 Global [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 may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to a sub-committee consisting of the Chairperson of the Committee and two other members of the Committee as the Chairperson, from time to time, may determine and appoint, and such sub-committee shall report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the sub-committee’s meeting, its decision(s). 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 Global [AM] or the Fund’s officers). |

|
| | | 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 Global [AM] and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with UBS Global [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: |

| |
|
| Covered Services | | $18,858 | | $18,173 |
| Non-Covered Services | | 2,092,405 | | 1,608,370 |
| (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. |
