Annual Report |

October 14, 2011
Dear shareholder, We present you with the annual report for UBS U.S. Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) for the 12 months ended August 31, 2011.
Performance Over the 12 months ended August 31, 2011, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 14.85% before deducting the maximum sales charge; after deducting the maximum sales charge, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 8.52%. During the same period, the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which tracks large cap US equities, gained 18.50%. 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 (the “Index”),1 which returned 14.43%.

An interview with Lead Portfolio Manager Curt Custard |
Q. | | How would you describe the economic environment during the reporting period? |
A. | | Despite increasing concerns that the US may be headed for a double-dip recession, the US economy continued to grow, albeit at a modest pace. Gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth came in at 2.3% during the fourth quarter of 2010, and then moderated in the first quarter of 2011, coming in at 0.4%. On September 29, 2011, after the Fund’s reporting period had ended, the Commerce Department announced that second quarter 2011 GDP growth had grown 1.3%. |
| | |
| | Continued high unemployment, ongoing issues in the housing market and weak consumer spending were all cited as reasons for the tepid growth of the economy. |
| | |
Q. | | How did the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) react to the economic environment? |
A. | | High unemployment and moderating economic data caused the Fed to take several actions in an attempt to stimulate the economy. |
| | |
| | In November 2010, the Fed launched a second round of quantitative easing (dubbed “QE2”) that called for the purchase of $600 billion of longer-term US Treasury securities by the end of the second quarter of 2011. |
| | |
| | While QE2 ended on schedule at the end of June, the Fed acknowledged that the economy remained challenged. At its meeting in August, the Fed said “economic growth so far this year has been considerably slower than the Committee had expected,” and “economic conditions...are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through mid-2013.” This led to speculation that a third round of quantitative easing could occur. |
| | |
|
2 |
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
| | However, in September (after the end of the reporting period), the Fed instead announced its intention to purchase $400 billion of longer-term Treasury securities, and to sell an equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities by June 2012. Dubbed “Operation Twist,” the Fed noted that its intention with this program was to “put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative.” |
| | |
Q. | | How did the stock market perform during the reporting period? |
A. | | The US stock market was a study in contrasts during the fiscal year. Over the first six months of the period, stock prices moved sharply higher given expectations for a strengthening economy and overall strong corporate profits. During this time, the S&P 500 Index posted positive returns during each month and gained 27.73%. However, optimism waned as disappointing economic data, the escalating sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the August downgrading of U.S. long-term sovereign debt triggered fear-driven market volatility. The market reversed course, ultimately declining by 7.23% during the second half of the period. All told, the S&P 500 Index gained 18.50% during the 12 months ended August 31, 2011. |
| | |
Q. | | How did the bond market perform during the reporting period? |
A. | | The US bond market also experienced a significant shift in investor sentiment during the fiscal year. Over the first half of the period, short- and long-term interest rates moved higher given the ongoing economic expansion and inflationary concerns due to sharply rising commodity prices. During that time, most US spread sectors (non-Treasuries) produced strong results as investors looked to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. As the reporting period progressed, investor risk appetite was replaced with risk aversion, causing Treasury yields to fall sharply and many spread sectors to produce poor results. However, the weakness during the second half of the period was not enough to offset their earlier gains, and most spread sectors outperformed Treasuries during the |

| | fiscal year. During the 12 months ended August 31, 2011, the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index2 returned 4.62%. |
| | |
Q. | | How was the Fund allocated during the reporting period? |
A. | | Throughout the period, we had an overweight to equities versus the Index, as we felt the asset class was, in general, undervalued. However, as the period progressed, we pared our equity exposure from approximately 74% to 66% to capture profits and reduce the Fund’s overall risk exposure.3 In addition, late in the period we felt that the US equity market was getting closer to our estimate of fair value. |
| | |
| | The Fund’s fixed income exposure remained underweight versus the Index, but we increased its exposure from roughly 23% to 24.5% over the period.3 This was done because, in our view, US fixed income had become somewhat more attractively valued. With the Fund’s fixed income underweight in place, we moved to a more neutral duration posture versus the benchmark and, at the end of the period, had roughly a 4% cash position. We also maintained a neutral weighting to high yield bonds versus the Index (roughly 5% of the portfolio). |
| | |
| | Please note, neutral Index weights for the Fund are 65% equities and 35% fixed income. |
| | |
| | Overall, our asset allocation strategy contributed to relative results, as stocks significantly outperformed both US investment grade and high yield bonds during the review period. |
2 | The Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad-based index designed to measure the US dollar-denominated, investment grade, fixed rate taxable bond market. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed sectors. US agency hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) securities were added to the index on April 1, 2007. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses. |

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Q. | | Which equity strategies performed well during the reporting period, and which areas produced disappointing results? |
A. | | Stock selection detracted from performance during the reporting period, whereas sector positioning was a slight contributor to relative results. In terms of stock selection, the Fund’s holdings in the financials, energy and consumer staples sectors were the largest drags on performance. This was partially offset by stock selection in the health care, materials and utilities sectors. |
| | |
| | Looking at individual stocks, the Fund’s allocations to Hewlett-Packard Co., General Motors Co. and Avon Products, Inc. were the largest detracting names in the portfolio. Information technology firm Hewlett-Packard’s stock fell sharply as investors reacted negatively to Chief Executive Officer Leo Apotheker’s proposal to spin off the company’s personal computer business. In September 2011, after the reporting period ended, Apotheker was dismissed by Hewlett-Packard’s Board of Directors. Despite these management-related headwinds, we feel that Hewlett-Packard is attractively valued and the company continues to generate strong cash flow. Automobile manufacturer General Motors Co. was a detractor given generally weak sales and concerns regarding the economy. We still own the stock, as we believe there is strong pent-up demand for automobiles as sales have been well below average in recent years. Avon Products is a worldwide distributor of cosmetics, perfume and other products. Its stock moved lower due to issues in Brazil and Russia, two of Avon’s most important markets. In addition, there were allegations of corruption related to Avon’s foreign business practices. Given these issues, we eliminated the stock from the portfolio towards the end of the reporting period. |
| | |
| | On the upside, the largest contributors to the Fund’s performance were Baker Hughes, Inc., Pharmasset, Inc. and National Semiconductor Corp. Baker Hughes is the world’s largest oilfield services company. Its shares moved higher as the company posted strong earnings results and solid cash flow. We continue to like the stock, as we feel that demand for Baker Hughes’ services will increase if regulations currently limiting oil |

| | exploration in North America are lifted. Pharmaceutical Pharmasset, Inc. was beneficial for performance. Its stock price rose sharply given positive results of a mid-stage study related to its simplified treatment for patients with hepatitis C. Holding semiconductor company National Semiconductor Corp. was rewarded as well. In April 2011, Texas Instruments offered to purchase National Semiconductor at a large premium to the former company’s share price at the time, and therefore we eliminated the stock from the portfolio. The acquisition was finalized in October 2011, after the reporting period ended. |
| | |
| | From a sector positioning perspective, an underweight to consumer staples, an overweight to consumer discretionary and an underweight to the financials sector were the largest contributors to relative performance. Conversely, an underweight to telecommunication services and overweights to the industrials and utilities sectors were the largest detractors from relative results. |
| | |
Q. | | How did you manage the Fund’s fixed income exposure during the reporting period? |
A. | | Despite giving back a portion of their earlier gains as the reporting period progressed, the Fund’s spread sector (non-US Treasuries) exposure was positive for performance over the fiscal year as a whole. The largest contributor was our overweight to investment grade corporate bonds. In particular, the Fund’s allocation to the financials sector was rewarded over the reporting period. An overweight to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) also enhanced the Fund’s relative performance, especially during the first six months of the period. Elsewhere, the Fund’s modest high yield exposure was a contributor as the high yield market posted solid returns during much of the period. |
| | |
| | Security selection within the spread sectors produced mixed results. While the Fund’s investment grade corporate bond positions in the financials and industrials subsectors benefited performance, this was offset by security selection of CMBS and agency mortgage-backed securities. |
|
|

UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
| | The Fund’s duration positioning was a positive for relative performance during the reporting period. (Duration measures the price sensitivity of a portfolio to interest rate changes.) We tactically adjusted the Fund’s duration and initially had a neutral to short bias relative to the benchmark. This was rewarded, as yields rose early in the reporting period. Later in the reporting period, we adjusted the Fund’s duration to be neutral to modestly longer than the benchmark. This was also beneficial, as both short- and long-term interest rates moved sharply lower over the last three months of the period in particular. |
| | |
| | Also enhancing the Fund’s performance was our yield curve positioning. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.) During the review period, the Fund was positioned for a flattening of the yield curve. This was not initially rewarded as the yield curve steepened, with longer term rates moving higher than their short-term counterparts. However, throughout much of the latter portion of the period, the yield curve did flatten, and the Fund was well positioned given its flattening bias. |
| | |
| | Certain derivative instruments, namely interest rate and bond futures, were used to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. The results of derivatives used during the period was positive for performance. |
| | |
Q. | | What is your outlook for the economy? |
A. | | Economic growth in the US has clearly moderated. Looking ahead, we feel that growth in the US will remain fairly anemic and that inflation will move lower. Against this backdrop, we have taken a more cautious stance for the overall portfolio by reducing its equity exposure to be fairly close to that of the Index.4 The Fund remains underweight US fixed income versus the Index and we have taken a more conservative stance, with a neutral duration position and by having a roughly 4% allocation to cash. |

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the December 29, 2010 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.03% and 1.03%; Class B—1.91% and 1.90%; Class C—1.78% and 1.78%; and Class Y—0.70% and 0.70%.
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: (1) 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 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%;

Performance at a glance (unaudited) (continued)
and (2) a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund’s ordinary total operating expenses of each class through December 31, 2011 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed 1.15% for Class A, 1.90% for Class B, 1.90% for Class C and 0.90% for Class Y (the “fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement”). The Fund has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses (pursuant to the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement) to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Fund’s expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The agreements may be terminated by the Fund’s board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund’s advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, UBS Global AM’s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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, 2011 to August 31, 2011.
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%

Understanding your Fund’s expenses (unaudited) (concluded)
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.

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 US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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

Notes to financial statements
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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 GAAP for SEC registrants. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with 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 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, official market closing 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 market close, 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
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
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 are 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. 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 and the change in value, if any, is recorded 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.
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.
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
In accordance with the requirements of GAAP, a fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 will require reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, which have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010.
In April 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-03 (“ASU 2011-03”) which relates to the accounting for repurchase agreements and similar agreements, including mortgage dollar rolls, that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 modifies the criteria for determining effective control of transferred assets and as a result certain agreements may now be accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2011-03 is effective prospectively for new transfers and existing transactions that are modified in the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of this change and its impact on the financial statements.
In May 2011, FASB Issued ASU 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
measurement of and disclosure about fair value between US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosure about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.
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. Certain derivative contracts entered into by the Fund may contain credit risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. 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 volume of derivatives that is

presented in the Portfolio of investments is consistent with the derivative activity during the year ended August 31, 2011. The Advisor is not aware of any credit-risk contingent features on derivative contracts held by the Fund.

Notes to financial statements
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, 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, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM.
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
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
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.
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 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.
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.
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 return or realize gains. Using futures contracts involves various market risks including interest rate and equity risk. However, imperfect correlations between futures contracts and the related securities or markets, or market disruptions, do not
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
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 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 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.
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 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.
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country or region.
Investment advisor and administrator fees and other transactions with affiliates
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, 2011, UBS Global AM did not waive any investment advisory and administration fees. At August 31, 2011, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $113,449 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 dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses, if any) 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, 2011. The Fund will repay UBS Global AM for any previously waived fees/reimbursed expenses during the three-year period following August 31, 2011, 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 applicable expense caps in effect at the
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
time the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed. For the year ended August 31, 2011, UBS U.S. Allocation Class B had a recoupment of $144. At August 31, 2011, the Fund had no fee waivers/expense reimbursements subject to repayment.
For the year ended August 31, 2011, the Fund paid $5,947 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 year ended August 31, 2011 were as follows:

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 the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. The Advisor 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. The Advisor 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 at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are reflected as affiliated securities lending income in the Statement of operations.

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. 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, 2011, the Fund paid brokerage commissions to Morgan Stanley in the amount of $13,775. During the year ended August 31, 2011, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley, having an aggregate value of $87,751,588. 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
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
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, 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, 2011, the Fund owed UBS Global AM—US $100,737 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, 2011, it earned $12,448, $917, and $365 in initial sales and deferred sales charges on Class A, Class B 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.
For the year ended August 31, 2011, UBS Financial Services, Inc. received from BNY Mellon, not the Fund, $155,886 of the total delegated services fees.
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
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
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, 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. 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 year ended August 31, 2011.
Purchases and sales of securities
For the year ended August 31, 2011, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities and US Government securities, were $236,908,221 and $300,423,338, respectively.
For the year ended August 31, 2011, aggregate purchases and sales of US Government securities, excluding short-term securities, were $233,820,690 and $228,121,471, respectively.

Redemption fees
Each class of the Fund will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exemptions as noted in the prospectus; this amount is paid to the Fund. Redemption fees, if any, earned by the Fund are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the year ended August 31, 2011, redemption fees represent less than $0.005 per share.
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 years ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 were as follows:
Distribution paid from: | | 2011 | | 2010 |
|
Ordinary income | | | $4,099,010 | | | $7,831,343 |
|
At August 31, 2011, the components of accumulated deficit on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 2,278,062 | |
|
Accumulated realized capital and other losses | | | (121,867,454 | ) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation of investments | | | 953,739 | |
|
Total accumulated deficit | | $ | (118,635,653 | ) |
|
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.
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Notes to financial statements
At August 31, 2011, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of $121,867,454. 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: $39,436,357 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 current fiscal year, the Fund utilized $30,992,099 of capital loss carryforwards to offset current year realized gains and $45,735,064 of capital loss carryforwards expired unutilized.
To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ending August 31, 2011, accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $54,315,accumulated net realized loss was decreased by $45,681,289 and paid-in-capital was decreased by $45,735,604. These differences are primarily due to return of capital adjustments from real estate investment trusts,expiration of capital loss carryforwards and paydown reclasses.
As of and during the year ended August 31, 2011, 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 income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year ended August 31, 2011, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended August 31, 2011, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

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, 2011, 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, 2011, 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, 2011, 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, 2011) 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 80.64%.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, 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, $3,362,007 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 2011. 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 January 2012. 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 19-20, 2011, 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 (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 Administration 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
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory
and administration agreement (unaudited)
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 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 senior personnel at UBS Global AM responsible for the Fund 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 and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed 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 was 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 $152 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2011 and was part of the UBS Global Asset Management Division, which had approximately $621 billion in assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2011. 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 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 (the “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, pursuant to a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse the Fund so that the Fund’s ordinary total annual operating expenses through December 31, 2011 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and interest, taxes, brokerage commissions 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.The board also considered that the Fund has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for those waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses if the Fund can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing its expenses in any of those years to exceed the expense caps.
In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s management 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 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
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory
and administration agreement (unaudited)
accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by mutual funds and such accounts. The board 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, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were in the first quintile in the Fund’s Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. (The first quintile represents that 20% of the funds in the Expense Group with the lowest fees or expenses, as applicable, and the fifth quintile represents that 20% of the funds in the Expense Group with the highest fees or expenses, as applicable.)
In light of the foregoing, the board determined that the management fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of 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, 2011 and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year period ended April 30, 2011. 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 third quintile for the one-year period, in the fourth quintile for the three-year period and since inception and in the fifth quintile for the five- and ten-year periods. (The first quintile represents that 20% of the funds in the Performance Universe with the best relative performance, and the fifth quintile represents that 20% of the funds in the Performance Universe with the worst relative performance.) Management noted the
UBS U.S. Allocation Fund
Board approval of investment advisory
and administration agreement (unaudited)
improved performance of the Fund. Based on its review of the Fund and management’s presentation, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was acceptable.
Advisor 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 the shareholders. The board noted that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee contained a single breakpoint and that the Fund’s assets exceeded the breakpoint as of April 30, 2011.
While the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee contained a single breakpoint, the board recognized that the Fund had entered into a separate agreement with UBS Global AM, whereby UBS Global AM agreed to permanently reduce its Contractual Management Fee by utilizing several additional breakpoints based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, thereby achieving the same effect as if the Contractual Management Fee contained multiple breakpoints.
Generally, in light of UBS 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.

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 advisory, 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. 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 process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement in private session with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS Global AM were present.

The charter contains the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. Reproduced below is an excerpt from the charter regarding pre-approval policies and procedures: |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | The [audit] Committee shall: |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | . . . |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | 2. | Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services1 to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to UBS 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). |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | |
|
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | 1 The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible. |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, UBS 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: |
| | | | | | |
| | | | Audit-Related Fees: |
| | | | There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 on behalf of the registrant. |
| | | | | | |
| | | | There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. |

| | | | | | |
| | | | There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. |
| | | | | | |
| | | | All Other Fees: |
| | | | There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 on behalf of the registrant. |

| (f) | | According to E&Y, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, the percentage of hours spent on the audit of the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons who are not full-time, permanent employees of E&Y was 0%. |
| | | |
| (g) | | For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010, the aggregate fees billed by E&Y of $148,450 and $249,457, respectively, for non-audit services rendered on behalf of the registrant (“covered”), its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser (“non-covered”) that provides (or provided during the relevant fiscal period) services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant is shown in the table below: |
| | 2011 | | 2010 |
| Covered Services | $19,700 | | $19,457 |
| Non-Covered Services | 128,750 | | 230,000 |
| (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. |
