Introduction
March 15, 2013
Dear PACE Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with the semiannual report for the PACE portfolios (the "Portfolios"), comprising the PACE Select Advisors Trust. This report includes summaries of the performance of each Portfolio, as well as commentaries from the investment advisor and Sub-advisors regarding the events that affected Portfolio performance during the six months ended January 31, 2013. Please note that the opinions of the Sub-advisors do not necessarily represent those of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.
Global economic growth decelerates
While the overall US economy continued to grow during the reporting period, the pace of the expansion was mixed and far from robust. Looking back, the Commerce Department reported 3.1% gross domestic product ("GDP") growth in the US for the third quarter of 2012. GDP growth contracted 0.1%1 in the fourth quarter, representing the first negative reading since the second quarter of 2009. For comparison purposes, during 2012, GDP growth was 2.0% during the first quarter of the year, followed by growth of 1.3% in the second quarter, partially due to weak consumer spending. Decelerating growth was largely driven by weakening private inventory investment, federal government spending and exports.
The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") took a number of actions during the reporting period, as it looked to meet its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Throughout the reporting period, the Fed kept the federal funds rate at an extremely low level of between 0% and 0.25%. (The federal funds rate, or "fed funds" rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) In January 2012, the Fed announced its plan to purchase $400 billion of longer-term Treasury securities and sell an equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities by June 2012 (dubbed "Operation Twist"); this deadline was later extended to the end of 2012. In September, the Fed launched a third round of quantitative easing ("QE3"), which involved purchasing $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") on an open-ended basis each month. At its final meeting of the year, in December, the Fed said it would continue buying $40 billion a month of agency MBS and purchasing $45 billion a month of longer-term Treasuries. The Fed also said that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold "...as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%," provided inflation remains well contained.
Economic growth in countries outside the US also decelerated and, in some cases, fell back into recessions during the reporting period. In its January 2013 World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") stated that "Global growth is projected to increase during 2013, as the factors underlying soft global activity are expected to subside. However, this upturn is projected to be more gradual than in the October 2012 World Economic Outlook projections." The IMF projects that global growth will move modestly higher from 3.2% in 2012, to 3.5% in 2013. Broken down further, the IMF anticipates 2013 growth will contract 0.2% in the eurozone and in emerging market countries, the IMF projects that growth will increase from 5.1% in 2012, to 5.5% in 2013.
Global equities produce solid results
While the global equity market experienced periods of volatility, it ultimately generated strong results during the reporting period. A number of macro issues negatively impacted investor sentiment at times, including the European sovereign debt crisis, moderating global growth and uncertainties related to the US "fiscal cliff." However, investor risk appetite generally returned fairly quickly as they looked to boost their returns. Also supporting sentiment were actions taken by central banks to support their economies. The US stock market, as

measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 rose during five of the six months during the reporting period and gained 9.91% for the six months ended January 31, 2013.
International developed and emerging markets equities also experienced periodic soft patches, but they produced strong results during the reporting period. Aggressive actions taken by the European Central Bank to support the eurozone and indications that China may avoid a "hard landing" for its economy were two factors boosting investor sentiment for foreign stocks. All told, international developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 returned 18.61% during the six months ended January 31, 2013. Elsewhere, emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 returned 13.11% over the same period.
Risk is rewarded in the fixed income market
There were several macro-induced flights to quality in the global fixed income markets during the reporting period. However, they proved to be only temporary setbacks and the US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) generally outperformed equal duration Treasuries during the reporting period. With the Fed keeping interest rates in a historically low range, investors were drawn to lower quality/higher yielding fixed income securities for much of the period. Against this backdrop, high yield bonds and emerging markets debt generated strong returns. All told, during the six months ended January 31, 2013, the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 declined 0.29%. Looking more closely at lower-rated fixed income securities, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index6 returned 7.25% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 returned 4.56% during the six month period.
Sincerely,

2 The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged, weighted index composed of 500 widely held common stocks varying in composition, and is not available for direct investment. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
3 The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Dividends are reinvested after the deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. The Index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
4 The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of different emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Basin. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. Had US tax rates been applied, the performance of the index would be different. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
5 The Barclays US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad based index designed to measure the US-dollar-denominated, investment-grade taxable bond market. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed sectors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
6 The BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index is an unmanaged index of US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt, currently in a coupon paying period, that is publicly issued in the US domestic market with a term to maturity of at least one year. The index is market weighted, so that larger bond issuers have a greater effect on the index's return. However, the representation of any single bond issue is restricted to a maximum of 2% of the total index. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
7 The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) is an unmanaged index which is designed to track total returns for US dollar denominated debt instruments issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities: Brady bonds, loans and Eurobonds. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

Sub-advisors' comments on Portfolios that have more than one Sub-advisor are reflective of their portion of the Portfolio only. The views and opinions in this report were current as of March 14, 2013. They are not guarantees of future performance or investment results and should not be taken as investment advice.

Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio returned 0.01% before the deduction of the maximum PACE program fee. (The Portfolio declined 0.99% after the deduction of the maximum PACE program fee, for the same six-month period.) Please remember that the PACE program fee is assessed outside the Portfolio at the PACE program account level. The program fee does not impact the determination of the Portfolio's net asset value per share. For comparison purposes, the median return of the Lipper Money Market Funds category was 0.01%. (Returns over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 6. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the period, please refer to page 2.
Advisor's comments
The Portfolio's yield remained low given the Federal Reserve Board's (the "Fed") decision to maintain the federal funds rate at a historically low range, which continued to depress yields on a wide range of short-term investments. (The federal funds rate, or "fed funds" rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) As a result, the yields of the securities in which the Portfolio invests remained extremely low. In turn, this kept the Portfolio's yield low.
We tactically adjusted the Portfolio's weighted average maturity (WAM)—which is the average duration of the securities in the Portfolio—throughout the six-month review period. When the reporting period began, the Portfolio had a WAM of 31 days. While there were concerns regarding the ongoing challenges in Europe, they were overshadowed by the Fed's third round of quantitative easing ("QE3"). Thus, in anticipation of the further downward pressure we expected QE3 to exert on short-term interest rates, we significantly increased the Fund's WAM in September 2012, and ended the reporting period with a WAM of 50 days.
At the issuer level, we maintained a high level of diversification, investing in smaller positions with the goal of reducing risk and keeping the Portfolio highly liquid. To that end, we typically purchased up to 3% in single nongovernment issuers throughout the reporting period. (The Portfolio is generally able to hold up to 5% in any one issuer, subject to certain exceptions.)
Several adjustments were made to the Portfolio's sector positioning during the six-month period. We increased the Portfolio's exposures to certificates of deposit, US government and agency obligations and commercial paper. Conversely, we reduced our allocations to repurchase agreements and, to a lesser extent, short-term corporate obligations. (Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the seller of a security agrees to buy it back at a predetermined time and price or upon demand.)

Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 0.03% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares declined 0.96% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Barclays US Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (the "benchmark") declined 0.38%, and the Lipper US Mortgage Funds category posted a median return of 0.45%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 14. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.
Sub-Advisor's comments1
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. A modest short duration bias was positive for performance, as US interest rates rose during the six months. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.)
An underweight to agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") for the majority of the reporting period was negative for relative results, as the sector outperformed like-duration Treasuries. Coupon positioning also detracted from performance, as the Portfolio maintained an underweight to lower coupon conventional securities (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), which outperformed due to the Federal Reserve Board's (the "Fed") newly implemented purchase program. An overweight to higher coupon mortgages was also a negative for performance.
Conversely, exposure to non-agency MBS contributed to performance, as these securities continued to benefit from limited supply and signs of a housing recovery. Exposure to super-senior commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") also added to performance, as there were both positive supply technicals and investor demand for high quality spread.
1 All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.
PACE Select Advisors Trust – PACE Government Securities Fixed Income Investments
Investment Sub-Advisor:
Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO")
Portfolio Manager:
W. Scott Simon
Objective:
Current income
Investment process:
The Portfolio invests primarily in government fixed income securities which include US bonds, including those backed by mortgages, and related repurchase agreements. Mortgage-backed securities include "to be announced" or "TBA" securities which usually are traded on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount and no defined maturity date; issued or guaranteed by US government agencies and instrumentalities. The Portfolio also invests, to a lesser extent, in investment grade bonds of private issuers, including those backed by mortgages or other assets. The Portfolio may invest in bonds of varying maturities, but normally limits its duration to within two years (plus or minus) of the effective duration of the Portfolio's benchmark index. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) The Portfolio may engage in short selling with respect to securities issued by the US Treasury and certain TBA securities coupon trades. PIMCO establishes duration targets based on its expectations for changes in interest rates, and then positions the Portfolio to take advantage of yield curve shifts. PIMCO decides to buy and sell specific bonds based on an analysis of their values relative to other similar securities.

Sub-Advisor's comments – concluded
The Portfolio used collateralized mortgage obligations during the six-month period, which added to performance amid an improving housing market and the Fed's quantitative easing initiatives.
No derivatives were used during the reporting period.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking current income who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The yield and value of the Portfolio change every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (1.83)%; 5-year period, 4.59%; 10-year period, 4.22%; Class C—1-year period, 1.48%; 5-year period, 5.03%; 10-year period, 4.17%; Class Y—1-year period, 2.99%; 5-year period, 5.82%; 10-year period, 5.00%; Class P—1-year period, 0.95%; 5-year period, 3.71%; 10-year period, 2.87%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.05% and 0.97%; Class C—1.56% and 1.47%; Class Y—0.86% and 0.72%; and Class P—0.85% and 0.72%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to (1) waive its management fees through November 30, 2013 to the extent necessary to reflect the lower sub-advisory fee paid by UBS Global AM to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, the Portfolio's investment sub-advisor; and (2) waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—0.97%; Class C—1.47%; Class Y—0.72%; and Class P—0.72%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses (pursuant to item (2)) to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
5 The Barclays US Mortgage-Backed Securities Index is an unmanaged index which primarily covers the agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities issued by Ginnie Mae (formally known as Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA), Freddie Mac (formally known as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or FHLMC), and Fannie Mae (formally known as Federal National Mortgage Association or FNMA). Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Portfolio footnotes
* On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency placed the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation into conservatorship, and the US Treasury guaranteed the debt issued by those organizations.
1 Entire amount designated as collateral for investments sold short.
2 Security is being fair valued by a valuation committee under the direction of the board of trustees.
3 Variable or floating rate security. The interest rate shown is the current rate as of January 31, 2013 and changes periodically.
4 Step bond that converts to the noted fixed rate at a designated future date.
5 Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities, which represent 5.32% of net assets as of January 31, 2013, are considered liquid and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.
6 Illiquid security representing 1.90% of net assets as of January 31, 2013.
7 Interest Only Security. This security entitles the holder to receive interest payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. The risk associated with this security is related to the speed of the principal paydowns. High prepayments would result in a smaller amount of interest being received and cause the yield to decrease. Low prepayments would result in a greater amount of interest being received and cause the yield to increase.

Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 0.44% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares declined 0.56% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Barclays US Intermediate Government/Credit Index (the "benchmark") returned 0.41%, and the Lipper Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds category posted a median return of 0.76%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 26. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.
Sub-Advisor's comments1
The Portfolio modestly outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. The most substantial contributors to performance were the Portfolio's allocations to high yield corporate bonds and asset-backed securities ("ABS"). During the reporting period, there were marginal improvements in US economic data and macro risks decreased. In the US, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") continued to pursue an accommodative monetary policy and kept rates low, moving investors who were in search of yield into spread sectors (non-government fixed income securities). In addition, the "fiscal cliff" was narrowly avoided. These developments fostered an economic environment that helped propel risk assets, including high yield corporate bonds and ABS. Security selection in investment grade corporate bonds also benefited performance, as the Portfolio's preference for higher-beta (more market-sensitive) securities and financials aided results.
Conversely, the Portfolio's underweight exposure to investment grade corporate bonds versus the benchmark was the most substantial detractor from relative results, as the search for yield led corporate spreads to continue to tighten. The Portfolio continues to hold this position as we believe the sector is overvalued on an absolute basis and relative to Treasuries. The demand for yield has led investors to invest in credit securities, even as yields have come down to historically low levels. Additionally, financial institutions are holding less credit on their balance sheets, largely due to both regulatory changes and the decreasing ability to make profits in the sector. While this has not impacted the Portfolio's liquidity, it may present a challenge for the investment grade corporate bond sector when flows into credit reverse.

Objective:
Current income, consistent with reasonable stability of principal
Investment process:
The Portfolio invests primarily in fixed income securities. BlackRock decides to buy specific bonds based on its credit analysis and review. BlackRock strives to add value by controlling the Portfolio's duration within a narrow band relative to the Barclays Capital US Intermediate Government/Credit Index. To accomplish this, BlackRock employs an analytical process that involves evaluating macroeconomic trends, technical market factors, yield-curve exposure and market volatility. Once BlackRock establishes the investment themes on duration, yield curve exposure, convexity, sector weighting, credit quality and liquidity, the Portfolio's investments are diversified by sector, subsector and security.
1 All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor's comments – concluded
We used a number of derivatives instruments during the reporting period. Futures and options on futures were used to manage the overall duration and yield curve exposures of the Portfolio while interest rate swaps and swaptions were utilized to manage the Portfolio's overall duration and spread duration. Foreign exchange forward contracts were used to help hedge foreign currency risk when buying non-US dollar-denominated bonds. Furthermore, the Portfolio used these forward contracts to opportunistically express views on certain currencies. Finally, credit default swaps were used to manage the credit risk of corporate bonds held in the Portfolio. Overall, the use of these derivatives positively contributed to performance during the reporting period.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking current income and a reasonable stability of principal. Investors should be able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (1.02)%; 5-year period, 3.17%; 10-year period, 3.38%; Class C—1-year period, 2.35%; 5-year period, 3.60%; 10-year period, 3.33% ; Class Y—1-year period, 3.88%; 5-year period, 4.37%; 10-year period, 4.12%; Class P—1-year period, 1.91%; 5-year period, 2.31%; 10-year period, 2.07%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.00% and 0.93%; Class C—1.51% and 1.43%; Class Y—0.88% and 0.68%; and Class P—0.74% and 0.68%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—0.93%; Class C—1.43%; Class Y—0.68%; and Class P—0.68%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
5 The Barclays US Intermediate Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged subset of the Barclays US Government/Credit Index covering all investment grade issues with maturities from one up to (but not including) 10 years. The average-weighted maturity is typically between four and five years. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Sub-Advisor's comments1
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. An overall short duration in the US contributed to results, as US interest rates rose during the period. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) Additionally, yield curve positioning, specifically an underweight to longer maturities, which rose the most during the review period, was positive for performance. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality but differing maturity dates). However, international duration exposure, particularly in the UK where rates rose across the curve, detracted from results.
The Portfolio's underweight to corporate bonds detracted from relative returns, as the sector outperformed like-duration Treasuries during the period amid improving risk sentiment. Conversely, exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and non-agency MBS contributed to returns, as these securities benefited from an improving housing market. Performance of agency MBS was also boosted by the quantitative easing program introduced by the Federal Reserve Board in September 2012.
Beyond core sectors, an overweight to emerging markets external debt, especially in Asia, was positive for results, as the sector outperformed like-duration Treasuries as spreads narrowed.

Objective:
Total return consisting of income and capital appreciation
Investment process:
The Portfolio invests primarily in investment grade fixed income securities of governmental and private issuers in the United States and foreign countries. Its duration (a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes) is normally limited to within two years (plus or minus) of the effective duration of the Portfolio's benchmark index. PIMCO seeks to invest in the areas of the bond market it considers undervalued, based on such factors as quality, sector, coupon and maturity. PIMCO decides to buy or sell specific bonds based on an analysis of their values relative to other similar bonds. PIMCO monitors the prepayment experience of the Portfolio's mortgage-backed bonds, and will also buy and sell securities to adjust the average portfolio duration, credit quality, yield curve, sector and prepayment exposure, as appropriate.
1 All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor's comments – concluded
The use of derivatives generated positive results during the reporting period. Interest rate swaps were used to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures, as well as to substitute for physical securities. Credit default swaps were utilized to manage credit exposure in lieu of the direct buying or selling of securities. While options and options on swaps were primarily used to manage interest rate and volatility exposures, they were also used to generate income in expected interest rate scenarios. Government futures were utilized to adjust interest rate exposures and replicate government bond positions. Currency forwards were used to manage our currency exposure.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking total return consisting of income and capital appreciation and who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. In addition, investments in foreign bonds involve special risks. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 3.61%; 5-year period, 7.93%; 10-year period, 6.29%; Class C—1-year period, 7.32%; 5-year period, 8.39%; 10-year period, 6.26%; Class Y—1-year period, 8.84%; 5-year period, 9.23%; 10-year period, 7.09%; Class P—1-year period, 6.67%; 5-year period, 7.04%; 10-year period, 4.93%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.04% and 1.04%; Class C—1.52% and 1.52%; Class Y—0.89% and 0.81%; and Class P—0.82% and 0.81%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.06%; Class C—1.56%; Class Y—0.81%; and Class P—0.81%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
5 The Barclays US Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged index which is composed of all investment-grade bonds that have at least one year to maturity. The Index's total return comprises price appreciation/depreciation and income as a percentage of the original investment. The Index is rebalanced monthly by market capitalization. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 1.21% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares returned 0.19% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Barclays US Municipal 3-15 Year Blend Index (the "benchmark") returned 1.37%, and the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted a median return of 1.39%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 60. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.
Sub-Advisor's comments1
(Please note that while the Sub-Advisor outperformed the benchmark on a gross of fees basis, the Portfolio underperformed net of fees, as reported under "Performance." As stated in footnote one, the comments that follow address performance on a gross of fees basis.)
The Portfolio slightly outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Contributors to performance included our sector allocation and security selection. Detractors from results included the Portfolio's high quality bias, particularly among revenue bonds, and its 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.)
The Portfolio's overweight to higher income producing revenue bonds was rewarded, as these bonds benefited from strong investor demand amid the low interest rate environment. In particular, hospital, airport and tobacco bond overweights were positive contributors. However, a bias toward some of the highest quality securities within the revenue sector, such as essential service water/sewer, utility and special tax bonds, was a mitigating factor, as these securities tended to offer a lower relative yield and did not perform as strongly. Conversely, the Portfolio's underweight to general obligation and US Treasury-backed pre-refunded bonds was a positive, as these lower yielding sectors lagged the benchmark. Within the credit quality spectrum, the benefit of an overweight to strong-performing A-rated bonds was offset by an underweight to BBB-rated bonds, as the lower rated securities outperformed their higher rated counterparts during the reporting period.

Investment Sub-Advisor:
Standish Mellon Asset Management Company LLC ("Standish")
Portfolio Manager:
Christine L. Todd
Objective:
High current income exempt from federal income tax
Investment process:
In deciding which securities to buy for the Portfolio, Standish seeks to identify undervalued sectors or geographical regions of the municipal market, or undervalued individual securities. To do this, Standish uses credit research and valuation analysis, and monitors the relationship of the municipal yield curve to the Treasury yield curve. Standish may also make modest duration adjustments based on economic analyses and interest rate forecasts. Standish generally sells securities if it identifies more attractive investment opportunities within its investment criteria that may improve the Portfolio's return. Standish also may sell securities with weakening credit profiles or to adjust the average duration of the Portfolio.
1 All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor's comments – concluded
Fundamental credit conditions for state and local issuers remained stable, as tax receipt growth was fueled by both a modestly growing economy and a stabilizing housing market. During the reporting period, tactical positioning among some of the larger issuing states, such as California and Illinois, positively contributed to performance, as steady demand drove strong relative results. The Portfolio maintained broad diversification across many geographic regions. Puerto Rico bonds underperformed due to Moody's rating downgrade of the Commonwealth during the fourth quarter of 2012. While the Portfolio was underweight Puerto Rico general obligation bonds, the positive impact of the underweight was offset by our exposure to dedicated revenue bonds, such as highway transportation and special tax bonds, as they lagged in sympathy with the general obligation credits.
During the reporting period, the Portfolio's strongest returns came from longer maturity bonds, which reflected heightened investor desire for greater income-producing securities. The Portfolio maintained broad exposure across the intermediate spectrum of the curve, primarily three- to 15-year maturities. However, this was offset by a modest overweight toward bonds near the five-year maturity range. The Portfolio's duration versus the benchmark was shortened in early December, which benefited returns as rates moved higher in late December. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.)
No derivatives were used during the reporting period.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking high current income exempt from federal income taxes. Investors should be able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The yield and value of the Portfolio change every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, (0.65)%; 5-year period, 4.05%; 10-year period, 3.25%; Class C—1-year period, 2.76%; 5-year period, 4.49%; 10-year period, 3.20%; Class Y—1-year period, 4.29%; 5-year period, 5.28%; 10-year period, 3.98%; Class P—1-year period, 2.22%; 5-year period, 3.19%; 10-year period, 1.91%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—0.95% and 0.90%; Class C—1.45% and 1.40%; Class Y—0.73% and 0.65%; and Class P—0.72% and 0.65% Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—0.90%; Class C—1.40%; Class Y—0.65% and Class P—0.65%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
5 The Barclays US Municipal 3-15 Year Blend Index is an unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the tax-exempt bond market. The Index includes municipal bonds with an effective maturity between 2 and 17 years that have at least one year to maturity and are investment grade. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 1.30% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares returned 0.29% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.)

Sub-Advisor's comments1
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. Across the Portfolio, we maintained a preference for economies with relatively strong fundamentals, whether in developed or emerging market countries. We extended this preference to the Portfolio's credit portion, as we held nationally important financial institutions. Within the financial sector, we predominantly held the most senior two tiers of the credit structure. During the reporting period, we believed that the lack of growth in the world would further differentiate those entities with sustainable debt from those whose ability to maintain their borrowing was open to question.
During the reporting period, we held countries such as Norway, Canada and Sweden, as well as the local interest rate markets in Malaysia and Mexico, where we believed economic conditions were stronger than in the rest of the world. Our overweights to Canada, Norway and Sweden detracted from returns during the reporting period. In contrast, emerging markets local and external debt rallied and our allocation was positive for performance. Our underweight to the US, Japan and the UK was positive for results relative to the benchmark. An underweight to Germany was also beneficial, while our underweight in certain peripheral European countries (i.e. Italy and Spain) was a drag on our relative performance.
The period under review saw developed markets' central banks step up their accommodative policy stance, with the Bank of Japan as the most aggressive. Against this backdrop, the yen was the worst performing currency, and our underweight strongly added to returns. Also positive was our preference to be underweight the US dollar and

Portfolio Managers:
Olaf Rogge, John Graham, Richard Bell, Adrian James and Malie Conway
Objective:
High total return
Investment process:
Rogge Global Partners seeks to invest the Portfolio's assets in fixed income securities of financially healthy issuers, because it believes that these investments produce the highest bond and currency returns over time. In deciding which fixed income securities to buy for the Portfolio, Rogge Global Partners uses a top-down analysis to find value across countries and to forecast interest and currency-exchange rates over a one-year horizon in those countries. Rogge Global Partners also uses an optimization model to help determine country, currency and duration positions for the Portfolio. Rogge Global Partners generally sells securities that no longer meet these selection criteria or when it identifies more attractive investment opportunities, and may also sell securities to adjust the average duration of the Portfolio.
1 All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor's comments – concluded
the British pound, as were our overweight positions to the Norwegian krone, New Zealand dollar, the euro and emerging markets currencies. Conversely, an overweight to the Australian dollar was a slight drag on results.
During most of the review period, we were slightly short-duration versus the benchmark. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) This positioning was positive for performance as rates generally rose during the period.
Our overweight exposure to investment grade credit, with our preference for well-funded, internationally diversified corporate issuers, was positive for performance. In particular, our positions in the financial sector and covered bonds added the most value. An allocation to high yield industrial bonds was also beneficial to performance.
During the reporting period, derivatives, including interest rate futures and currency forwards, were used to manage our country allocations, duration and yield curve exposures. They were also utilized to hedge our interest rate exposures. Overall, the use of these derivative instruments contributed to performance.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking high total return and who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The yield and value of the Portfolio change every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets than in more developed countries.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 0.34%; 5-year period, 3.70%; 10-year period, 5.03%; Class C—1-year period, 3.72%; 5-year period, 4.15%; 10-year period, 5.00%; Class Y—1-year period, 5.32%; 5-year period, 4.95%; 10-year period, 5.82%; Class P—1-year period, 3.21%; 5-year period, 2.82%; 10-year period, 3.66%
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.27% and 1.21%; Class C—1.75% and 1.69%; Class Y—1.11% and 1.00%; and Class P—1.11% and 1.00%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to (1) waive its management fees through November 30, 2013 to the extent necessary to reflect the lower sub-advisory fee paid by UBS Global AM to Rogge Global Partners plc, the Portfolio's investment sub-advisor; and (2) waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.25%; Class C—1.75%; Class Y—1.00% and Class P—1.00%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses (pursuant to item (2)) to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
5 The Barclays Global Aggregate ex US Index is an unmanaged index which provides a broad-based measure of the global investment grade fixed income markets excluding the US market. The two major components of this Index are the Pan-European Aggregate and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Indices. The Index also includes Eurodollar and Euro-Yen corporate bonds, Canadian government, agency and corporate securities. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 9.35% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares returned 8.25% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Index (hedged in USD) (the "benchmark") returned 8.91%, and the Lipper High Current Yield Funds category posted a median return of 7.00%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 81. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, please refer to page 2.
Sub-Advisor's comments1
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. The primary driver of performance was the Portfolio's beta positioning, which was maintained at or slightly above the market for the entire reporting period. (Beta is a measure of volatility or risk relative to the market as a whole.)
Exposure to a number of sectors during the reporting period was beneficial to performance. Our exposure to insurance was helpful, particularly given our position in American International Group, one of the largest issuers in the high yield market. Our homebuilder holdings were also a positive for the Portfolio, as our positions in home builders Hovnanian, Pulte and Beazer, and building products company USG were top contributors to performance. Our investment in Sprint, which is another one of the largest issuers in the high yield market, was rewarded during the reporting period. In addition to solid operational execution in 2012, Softbank, a Japanese technology company, announced its plan to acquire a 70% stake in Sprint during the fourth quarter of 2012. Sprint bonds, which we are overweight, rallied sharply after Softbank's announcement. Finally, within the auto sector, the Portfolio's exposures to Ford and General Motors were beneficial to performance.
In contrast, volatility in oil prices during the reporting period weighed heavily on a number of our energy holdings. In particular, poor performers included Helix, Denbury Resources, Geokinetics and Tesoro. We sold out of our positions in Denbury Resources and Tesoro based on relative value and we sold out of our position in Geokinetics due to credit concerns. Our gas-related issuers, including Atlas Pipeline and Ferrell, also generated weak

Objective:
Total return
Investment process:
MacKay Shields attempts to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns by avoiding most of the unusually large losses in the high yield market, even if it means giving up much of the large potential gains. MacKay Shields believes that there is a very small subset of bonds that delivers outsized gains in the market. Due to the limited upside inherent in most bonds, over time, outsized gains are expected to be smaller than unusually large losses. By attempting to limit the Portfolio's participation in the extremes of the market, MacKay Shields strives to add value over a market cycle with lower volatility. MacKay Shields seeks to do this through a rigorous process that attempts to screen out what it believes to be the riskiest issuers in the market.
1 All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor's comments – concluded
performance. Additionally, we continued to underweight European industrials, as we believed that spreads did not reflect Europe's greater political and recession risk relative to the rest of the world. Despite our healthy exposure to higher beta European financials, this European underweight was to the Portfolio's disadvantage when the European high yield market rallied during the period.
Our use of Treasury futures, which were employed to reduce the duration of the Portfolio, slightly added to performance during the reporting period. Currency forwards were used during the reporting period to hedge the currency exposure of the Portfolio into US dollars.
We continue to be comfortable with our positioning in the Portfolio and expect to maintain the current risk profile for some period of time. We are not unmindful of current yield levels and will respond, as appropriate.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking total return and who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in a professionally managed, diversified portfolio of fixed income securities rated below investment grade or considered to be of comparable quality (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). These securities are subject to higher risks than investment grade securities, including greater price volatility and a greater risk of loss of principal and nonpayment of interest. Issuers of such securities are typically in poor financial health, and their ability to pay interest and principal is uncertain. The prices of such securities may be more vulnerable to bad economic news, or even the expectation of bad news, than higher rated or investment grade bonds and other fixed income securities. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. In addition, investments in foreign bonds involve special risks. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 12.85%; 5-year period, 9.61%; since inception, 8.19% Class C—1-year period, 16.75%; since inception, 17.87% Class Y—1 year period, 18.41%; since inception, 21.15% Class P—1-year period, 15.99%; 5-year period, 8.69%; since inception, 7.01%
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.32% and 1.28% Class C—1.77% and 1.77% Class Y—1.03% and 1.03% Class P—1.15% and 1.03%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.28%; Class C—1.78%; Class Y—1.03%; and Class P—1.03%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Since inception returns are calculated as of commencement of issuance on April 10, 2006 for Class P shares, May 1, 2006 for Class A shares and January 21, 2009 for Class C shares. Class Y shares commenced issuance on April 3, 2006 and had fully redeemed by July 24, 2006 remaining inactive through December 25, 2008. The inception return of Class Y shares is calculated from December 26, 2008, which is the date the Class Y shares recommenced investment operations. Since inception returns for the Index and Lipper median are shown as of April 30, 2006, which is the month-end after the inception date of the oldest share class (Class P).
2 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
3 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
5 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
6 The BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Index (hedged in USD) is an unmanaged index which covers US dollar, Canadian dollar, sterling and euro-denominated fixed rate debt of corporate issuers domiciled in an investment grade rated country (i.e., BBB or higher foreign currency long-term debt rating). Individual bonds must be rated below investment grade (i.e., BB or lower based on a composite of Moody's and S&P) but not in default; and must have at least one year remaining term to maturity; a minimum face value outstanding of $100 million, C$50 million, 50 million pounds sterling or 50 million euros; and have available price quotations. New issues qualify for inclusion after they settle. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Sub-Advisors' comments1
ICAP
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Overall, the portfolio is built on a stock-by-stock basis and reflects the individual names that we believe have a combination of attractive valuations and catalysts likely to trigger appreciation over a 12- to 18-month timeframe. In a period characterized by strong, positive returns and lower volatility than in recent prior periods, performance for the reporting period was primarily driven by stock selection in several key areas.
Stock selection in consumer services was beneficial for performance, as media companies Time Warner and Viacom both benefited from stronger ratings and increased revenue from affiliate fees. Stock selection in the information technology sector also added to performance. This strong sector performance was led by Texas Instruments and Cisco Systems, as improving operating margins and outlooks and a boost in their dividends helped both of these stocks to outperform. Another holding that added value was diversified financial firm Citigroup. In our opinion, the stock outperformed as efforts to restructure and become more efficient have begun to pay off, given increased operating margins. Elsewhere, we were underweight the utilities sector, as we believed it was overvalued. This was relatively beneficial, given the sector's underperformance during the reporting period.
1 All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

Objective:
Capital appreciation and dividend income
Investment process:
ICAP uses its proprietary valuation model to identify large capitalization companies that it believes offer the best relative values and seeks to avoid companies that exhibit excessive deterioration in earnings trends. ICAP looks for companies where there is a catalyst for positive change with potential to produce stock appreciation of 15% or more relative to the market over a 12- to 18-month period.
ICAP also uses internally and externally generated research to evaluate the financial condition and business prospects of every company it considers. ICAP monitors each stock purchased and sells the stock when its target price is achieved, the catalyst becomes inoperative, or ICAP identifies another stock with greater opportunity for appreciation.
Westwood utilizes a value style of investing in which it chooses common stocks it believes are currently undervalued.

Sub-Advisors' comments – continued
Stock selection in the energy sector detracted from performance, as Occidental Petroleum and Encana lagged the benchmark. Occidental Petroleum was hindered by increased costs and lower production growth, while low natural gas prices weighed on Encana. We sold Occidental Petroleum from our portion of the Portfolio, in favor of other stocks with clearer catalysts for appreciation. Individual positions that detracted from performance included global wireless communications provider Vodafone and software giant Microsoft. While weakness in Vodafone's Southern Europe businesses weighed on results, the company continued to have strength in the US and emerging markets. We continued to find the stock attractively valued with good potential to return cash to shareholders via the prospect of continued receipt of dividends from Verizon Wireless (Vodafone owns 45%). While Microsoft's Windows 7 continued to have strong corporate adoption, Windows 8 will take longer than expected for the marketplace to assess, due to limited availability of hardware, and we sold the position from our portion of the Portfolio during the period. Elsewhere, underweighting the financials sector detracted from performance, as the sector outperformed during the reporting period.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Westwood
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to security selection in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary, health care and information technology sectors. An underweight in financial services also detracted from results, as the sector outperformed during the reporting period. While our higher beta stocks rose sharply, overall performance was tempered by our bias toward stable, dividend-paying companies. (Beta is a measure of volatility or risk relative to the market as a whole.) In information technology, our positions in Microsoft, Intel Corp. and EMC Corp. were negatively impacted by weak personal computer sales. We sold Intel Corp. from our portion of the Portfolio, as we believe aggressive spending combined with the possibility of an overly optimistic forward outlook increase the risk in this company. Health care performance was hurt by our position in Teva Pharmaceuticals, which disappointed investors when it discussed a plan to cut costs to offset the loss of Copaxone revenues.
Security selection in utilities and energy aided performance during the reporting period. Underweights in utilities and real estate investment trusts (REITs) also aided our relative results, as they were both underperformers during the reporting period. Our holdings in financial services company Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase were rewarded during the reporting period. Bank of America allayed concerns over capital levels, as it continued to strengthen its balance sheet and appears on track to surpass regulatory capital hurdles well in advance of deadlines, while JPMorgan Chase performed well on increasing US economic optimism. Other top performers were found in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. For example, General Motors rose due to strong North American operating results, Time Warner posted strong earnings as a result of growing margins and lower taxes, and Cisco Systems benefited from improvement in its US enterprise business.
Investment process (concluded)
Other key metrics it considers are return on equity, debt/equity ratio and, in the case of common equities, positive earnings surprises without a corresponding increase in Wall Street estimates.
Westwood has disciplines in place that serve as sell signals, such as a security reaching a pre-determined price target or a change to a company's fundamentals that negatively impacts the original investment thesis.
Pzena follows a disciplined investment process to implement its value philosophy, focusing exclusively on companies that are underperforming their historically demonstrated earnings power. Pzena applies intensive fundamental research to these companies in an effort to determine whether the problems that caused the earnings shortfall are temporary or permanent. The research process incorporates perspectives on valuation, earnings, management strategy, and downside protection.

The guarded optimism that emerged during the latter half of 2012 continued into early 2013, as central bank interventions in both the US and Europe, an improving US housing market, the resolution of the US presidential election and optimism surrounding the potential resolution of the fiscal cliff helped economically sensitive sectors produce strong returns. Against this backdrop, our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period.
The materials and processing, financial services and technology sectors contributed the most to our results. We should note that housing-related companies, which benefited from the upturn in US housing, make up virtually our entire portion of the Portfolio's holdings in the materials and processing sector. Some of the largest contributors in the financial services sector were our holdings in Citigroup, Bank of America and State Street Corp., as money center banks continued making a strong comeback, as did Morgan Stanley in investment banking and Allstate insurance. Masco Corp. and PPG Industries were strong performers among our housing-related holdings. Computer Sciences Corp. led our technology holdings, as its turnaround plan started to show results. We sold our position in Computer Sciences Corp. from our portion of the Portfolio when it appreciated to what we believed to be fair value. The largest detractor from our results during the reporting period was Apollo Group, a for-profit educator, as it has been negatively impacted by growing competition from not-for-profit educators in online education.
Dramatic valuation disparities exist in today's financial markets. Bonds and equities with stable earnings or high dividend yields are at or close to peak valuations, while many companies with cyclical earnings remain depressed. It has created a paradox: assets that are traditionally considered safe (i.e., US Treasuries and investment grade corporate debt) have become more risky as interest rates plunge toward zero, while economically sensitive stocks have arguably become less risky and, as their valuations languish, earnings improve and balance sheets strengthen. The opportunity to own assets deemed risky is exceptionally attractive relative to history, in our view, as risk appears significantly mispriced in today's markets.
As a result of the valuation mentioned above, our largest exposures are in the financial services and technology sectors, representing 37% and 18% of our portion of the Portfolio, respectively. In contrast, we have less than 10% aggregate exposure to consumer staples, health care and utilities. Although the financial services sector generated strong returns in 2012, relative valuations were close to all-time lows heading into 2013, leaving them trading well below fair value at year-end. Notwithstanding the recent somewhat better climate, our portion of the Portfolio continues to be among the cheapest in our history, and we are encouraged by today's depth of opportunities for our deep value approach.

Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation and dividend income and who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 9.05%; 5-year period, (1.40)%; 10-year period, 6.19%; Class C—1-year period, 13.55%; 5-year period, (1.07)%; 10-year period, 5.94%; Class Y—1-year period, 15.72%; 5-year period, 0.02%; 10-year period, 7.12%; Class P—1-year period, 13.43%; 5-year period, (2.01)%; 10-year period, 4.93%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.18% and 1.18%; Class C—1.98% and 1.98%; Class Y—0.94% and 0.94%; and Class P—0.93% and 0.93%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.27%; Class C—2.02%; Class Y—1.02% and Class P—1.02%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
5 The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the US equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The Russell 1000 Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap value segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 9.08% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee. (Class P shares returned 7.99% after the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee, for the same six-month period.) In comparison, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the "benchmark") returned 7.75%, and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category posted a median return of 9.10%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 106. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.)

Sub-Advisors' comments1
Please note: On October 5, 2012, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. began serving as a third Sub-Advisor for this fund, replacing Wellington Management and Marsico, which were both terminated as Sub-Advisors for the Portfolio effective October 4, 2012.

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. Strong stock selection, particularly in the technology and financial services sectors, more than offset the negative impacts from our underweights to the consumer discretionary and producer durables sectors.
In terms of individual holdings, top contributors to performance included EOG Resources, Allergan and Visa. Visa reported solid earnings and released an encouraging outlook for 2013. This likely increased investors' overall confidence that the recently implemented federal regulations on debit transactions would have a relatively minor impact on Visa's business. As one of the leaders in the electronic payment network, Visa is well positioned, in our opinion, to benefit from the secular global trend of payment transactions moving from paper-based currency to electronic transactions. Furthermore, Visa has shown in recent years that, despite a more difficult consumer spending environment, the company's flexible business model can be somewhat buffered by swings in economic cycles and can grow its profitability even in difficult periods.

Sub-Advisors' comments – continued
The largest detractors from performance in our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period were VeriSign, Perrigo and priceline.com. VeriSign struggled during the period, as its renewal as the sole provider for Internet domain name registrations was first delayed and then ultimately awarded by the federal government, but with a restriction on price increases. This restriction was a new and surprising development and may have caused investors to question the company's ability to remain the sole domain provider. The restriction may have also triggered concerns regarding the attractiveness of its business model, if its profitability is potentially limited by the new government mandate.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Roxbury
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. The largest contributors to results were from the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors.
Within consumer discretionary, stock selection contributed to performance. In particular, our positions in Home Depot and Starbucks were rewarded, as Home Depot's stock benefited from the improving housing market in the US and Starbucks continued to gain market share as it expands into the global marketplace. Industrials benefited from favorable stock selection and a slight overweight versus the benchmark. Within this sector, Canadian Pacific Railway and Honeywell were top contributors to performance during the reporting period.
Apple and Microsoft detracted from results in our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period. However, both companies had a relatively small impact on our overall performance. Investors were concerned about Apple's ability to maintain its dominant market share and margin profile in tablets and smartphones, as lower priced units and emerging markets become a larger portion of the overall market. In January 2013, we reallocated a portion of our sizable investment in Apple toward more attractive opportunities. However, our investment thesis for Apple and its discount to intrinsic value remain intact. Microsoft sold off on soft personal computer demand due to macro related concerns and the slow uptake of Windows 8 on the consumer front. Additionally, Steven Sinofsky, the head of Microsoft's Windows division, unexpectedly resigned. We remain committed to our investment thesis and expect a gradual increase in Windows 8 sales as new hardware devices come to market.

competitive environment. It then seeks to identify companies with earnings growth potential that may not be recognized by the market at large. Marsico's stock selection process may focus on factors such as market expertise or dominance, franchise durability and pricing power, solid company fundamentals, as well as strong management and reasonable valuations.
Delaware invests primarily in common stocks of large capitalization growth-oriented companies that Delaware believes have long-term capital appreciation potential and are expected to grow faster than the US economy. Using a bottom-up approach, Delaware seeks to select securities of companies that it believes have attractive large end-market potential, dominant business models and strong free cash flow generation that are attractively priced compared to the intrinsic value of the securities. Delaware also considers a company's operational efficiencies, management's plans for capital allocation and the company's shareholder orientation.
Roxbury employs a bottom-up approach to stock selection, seeking high quality growth companies whose stocks are trading at discounts to fair value. Roxbury looks for companies with sustainable competitive advantages and opportunities to grow and reinvest capital at higher rates than their cost of capital. Roxbury also seeks to invest in companies with management teams with a proven ability to allocate capital in ways that maximize shareholder value. Roxbury's investment approach seeks to balance both the protection of capital as well as the appreciation potential of a stock.

The philosophy and process employed by our team has led to certain sector allocation differentials versus the benchmark. The consumer staples and energy sectors are meaningfully overweight, as we believe that the strong fundamentals of these businesses, attractive valuations and the secular demand story should provide investors with attractive absolute and relative returns. Elsewhere, the financials sector remains a significant overweight, partially due to our positions in American Tower and Berkshire Hathaway.
Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.
J.P. Morgan
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period from our inception as a Sub-Advisor on October 5, 2012, through January 31, 2013. Our outperformance was largely due to stock selection in the consumer discretionary and energy sectors. Conversely, stock selection in the health care sector and an underweight to the producer durables sector detracted from results.
Individual stocks that contributed to performance in our portion of the Portfolio include ARM Holdings, a designer of microprocessors, and Kansas City Southern, a freight railroad company. While ARM Holdings reported in-line third quarter results, its shares moved higher given a combination of the company affirming that unit growth estimates in the smartphone market were too low and showing signs of executing well in its tablet business and newly entered server business. Shares of Kansas City Southern rallied due to an increasingly favorable outlook for several of its businesses, including cross-border intermodal freight, and due to the fact that it reported solid automotive and energy-related volumes.
Detracting from performance in our portion of the Portfolio were shares of Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefits management ("PBM") company, and Teradata, a data analytics technology company. Shares of Express Scripts fell after the company announced an outlook that was below consensus expectations. While the company continues to achieve synergies with its large acquisition of Medco, making it one of the largest PBM companies, there is little room for more growth via acquisitions. We continue to maintain our position in the company. Shares of Teradata, a provider of data analysis and warehouse solutions, were weak during the reporting period. Earnings and an outlook that fell short of expectations sent its shares lower. Further pressuring the stock was the onset of new competitive concerns due to Amazon Web Services' announcement of its Redshift offering, a competing cloud-based data warehousing service.
We continue to focus on identifying companies that possess three key characteristics: a large addressable market undergoing meaningful change, a sustainable competitive advantage with strong execution, and positive earnings revisions. We are currently finding attractive opportunities in the health care, information technology and financial services sectors, which are our largest overweights. Our largest underweights are in the producer durables, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors.

considers large capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell 1000 Growth Index at the time of purchase. Although J.P. Morgan will invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies, it may invest in foreign securities, including depositary receipts. J.P. Morgan utilizes a combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative metrics in order to seek to achieve target returns which are higher than those of the fund's benchmark while attempting to maintain a moderate risk profile.

Wellington Management (Note: Wellington Management was terminated as a Sub-Advisor for the Portfolio effective October 4, 2012, and its portion of the Portfolio was transitioned to J.P. Morgan. The following commentary only covers the period of time during which Wellington Management sub-advised a portion of the Portfolio, from August 1, 2012 to October 4, 2012.)
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period, largely driven by stock selection. Sector allocation, a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, also added to relative results.
Stock selection within the information technology, consumer staples and health care sectors contributed the most to results in our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period. Top performing holdings included Green Mountain Coffee, Gilead Sciences and Lowe's Companies. Green Mountain Coffee, a leading provider of single cup brewers and portion packs for coffee and other beverages, was a main contributor in the consumer staples sector, as its shares outperformed after reporting solid quarterly revenue and earnings. Additionally, investors were encouraged by management's announcement of a $500 million stock buyback and expectations of being free cash flow positive in 2013 and beyond. In the health care sector, our position in Gilead Sciences, a US-based biopharmaceutical company, aided results after it exceeded expectations due to strong antiviral product sales. Furthermore, investors positively reacted to the company's plan for developing its hepatitis C franchise. Lowe's Companies, a home improvement retailer, contributed to results, as investors gained confidence that the company will benefit from a recovery in the housing market.
Stock selection in the industrials and energy sectors detracted from results in our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period. Our position in Norfolk Southern, a railroad company, was negative for performance. The company's shares fell after it announced that weaker shipments of coal and merchandise, as well as lower fuel surcharge revenue, would reduce its third quarter 2012 earnings compared to a year earlier. Elsewhere, our position in industrial company IHS, a research and consulting services firm, detracted from performance, as its shares declined after missing earnings estimates and lowering its estimate for organic growth. Altera, a programmable logic semiconductor device manufacturer, also detracted from results, as investors feared that the company may lose market share to competitor Xilinx.
From a sector allocation perspective, our underweights to consumer staples and financials contributed to relative results. However, this was partially offset by weak relative results due to a modest cash position in an upward trending market.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Marsico (Note: Marsico was terminated as a Sub-Advisor for the Portfolio effective October 4, 2012, and its portion of the Portfolio was transitioned to J.P. Morgan. The following commentary only covers the period of time during which Marsico sub-advised a portion of the Portfolio, from August 1, 2012 to October 4, 2012.)
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection. Positions in the energy sector detracted from results, as exploration and production company Occidental Petroleum Corp. and energy pipeline company Kinder Morgan Inc. disappointed. While our holdings in the software, services and pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and life sciences industries generated positive absolute returns, they significantly lagged their respective industry groups in the benchmark, thereby hindering relative results. In particular, positions in Chinese Internet search company Baidu Inc. and pharmaceutical company Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. were material detractors from performance. In addition, maintaining an average cash balance of approximately 9% was negative for results.

Sub-Advisors' comments – concluded
On the upside, an underweight to the weak-performing consumer staples sector was advantageous for results. Stock selection in consumer services was an area of strength, as positions in hotel/casino operator Wynn Resorts Ltd. and coffee purveyor Starbucks Corp. helped returns.
At of the end of the period when we managed a portion of the Portfolio, we had overweight allocations to the consumer discretionary, financials and health care sectors and underweight allocations to the information technology, consumer staples and industrials sectors. At the end of the period in which we managed our portion of the Portfolio, we had no exposure to the telecommunication services or utilities sectors.

Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. Also, to the extent the Portfolio invests a large portion of its assets in a particular sector, the Portfolio may experience greater volatility and risk of loss due to unfavorable developments in that sector. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.23% and 1.23%; Class C—2.07% and 2.05%; Class Y—0.97% and 0.97%; and Class P—0.96% and 0.96%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.30%; Class C—2.05%; Class Y—1.05% and Class P—1.05%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

It includes those Russell 1000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap growth segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates.

Sub-Advisors' comments1
MetWest Capital
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection was strongest in the health care, financials, industrials and consumer staples sectors. Overweights in the strong performing industrials and consumer discretionary sectors further augmented performance during the period. Within the health care sector, AMN Healthcare Services enhanced performance. Upon President Obama's reelection, the market received some clarity on the future of health care reform, which was positive for AMN Healthcare. As the country's largest health care staffing firm, AMN Healthcare stands to benefit from the anticipated increase in staffing demands that will be generated by health care reform. Additionally, the company continues to execute well and gain market share. While we believe this company still offers compelling upside over the medium to long term, we trimmed our position during the fourth quarter of 2012 to manage risk. Within financials, global commercial real estate and investment management provider Jones Lang LaSalle added the most value, as the company recently gained market share from struggling players within its industry. Additionally, its management team has been focused on paying down debt. Longer term, we believe that the company remains an attractive investment opportunity. Vehicle auction service provider KAR Auction Services was the largest contributor in industrials, as its stock price moved sharply higher with improving off-lease numbers. We continue to view the company as a compelling investment opportunity, given its

solid management team, stable business operations and strong free cash flow generation. Within consumer staples, private-label food producer Ralcorp Holdings was the top contributor to performance. After three unsuccessful bids since March 2011, ConAgra announced acceptance, in late 2012, of its most recent offer to acquire this efficiently run company. We sold our position at that time, as Ralcorp's stock price approached the deal price.
The most significant detractors from performance in our portion of the Portfolio included mall-based specialty retailer Aéropostale and educational materials supplier School Specialty. Aéropostale continues to experience weakness in its basics business, which has contributed to the decline in its stock price. Nonetheless, we believe Aéropostale's fundamentals are intact and, longer term, we continue to see value in this retail company. As a result of school budget cuts over the past few years, School Specialty's revenues have significantly declined. The company attempted to counteract this by installing a new management team and restructuring its debt. However, amid continued pressures, School Specialty ultimately violated a debt covenant with debt financer Bayside Capital, and we eliminated this holding in late January 2013. Elsewhere, an underweight in the top performing materials sector detracted from results during the reporting period. All sector over- and underweights relative to the benchmark result from bottom-up stock selection, rather than tactical allocation decisions.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Systematic
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, due to stock selection. In particular, holdings in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors detracted the most from results. However, stock selection in the industrials sector added value relative to the benchmark. Our overweight to the consumer discretionary sector was the largest contributor, while our slight underweight to the industrials sector detracted from relative results. Sector allocation did not meaningfully impact results.
In terms of individual stocks, United Rentals, an equipment rental company, contributed to performance during the reporting period. The company has a focus on the North American construction industry and has no direct exposure to European or emerging markets. United Rentals posted another earnings surprise during the period, surpassing consensus estimates by approximately 20%. Metrics such as time utilization, rental rate growth and age of fleet were also better than expected. We continue to hold the position due to the possibility of future earnings surprises and positive earnings revisions, improving fundamentals and an attractive valuation.

positions in those companies that it believes have the highest likelihood of outperforming the market and/or the Portfolio's benchmark.
Systematic employs a two-pronged investment approach that utilizes both quantitative screening and fundamental research. Systematic's investment philosophy is predicated on its belief that stock prices reflect the market's estimates of earnings, and as revisions to those estimates are made by the market, stock prices will follow suit.
Systematic conducts a quantitative screening of all companies within the small/mid capitalization universe, and then uses fundamental research analysis to gauge investor expectations by focusing on key revenue and margin assumptions underlying earnings estimates.
Kayne Anderson Rudnick employs a fundamental, bottom-up, research-driven investment style and utilizes a disciplined investment process to identify high-quality companies that possess solid investment-grade balance sheets, generate positive cash flow and whose securities can be acquired at attractive valuations. Kayne Anderson Rudnick's first-hand fundamental research process involves carefully evaluating a company from a three-tiered perspective involving qualitative, financial and valuation analyses.

Detracting from results in our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period was Herbalife Ltd., a network marketing company that sells weight management, nutritional supplements and personal care products globally. For the last 13 quarters, the company has consistently exceeded earnings expectations. However, in recent months, Herbalife has been subject to a high degree of controversy regarding the legality of its business operations. We view the negative media attention as a serious impediment to the company's recruitment of new distributors who are instrumental for Herbalife's continued growth. With this increased risk to the company's future earnings, we sold the position and allocated the proceeds into what we believe are more attractive investment opportunities.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Kayne Anderson Rudnick
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Weak stock selection and a high-quality bias were the main reasons for our underperformance. In particular, stock selection in the consumer discretionary, materials and processing and health care sectors detracted from performance during the reporting period. Conversely, stock selection in financial services, coupled with stock selection and an underweight in utilities, contributed to performance.
The largest detractors from performance during the reporting period were John Wiley & Sons, Ross Stores and ADTRAN. Publishing company John Wiley & Sons' shares were weak, as the business is suffering from the emergence of less expensive methods for acquiring textbooks, such as rental models. The company is also being negatively impacted by the ongoing shift of consumer purchases away from traditional retail stores to online purchases. Additionally, management made a large acquisition in an industry outside of its core publishing market. Shares of Ross Stores, a chain of off-price department stores, decreased as the company reported slowing monthly same-store sales. While we acknowledge that comparisons may be difficult to make over the near term, we continue to believe that the discount segment of retail will take share from mid-tier department stores. Telecommunication networking equipment company ADTRAN performed poorly, as deteriorating carrier and enterprise spending negatively impacted its revenue growth. Despite these challenges, we remain positive about ADTRAN's business model and fundamentals longer term. We also believe that the company's strong balance sheet provides downside protection while it weathers current uncertainties.
In terms of individual stocks, the largest contributors to performance in our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period were Hillenbrand, First Cash Financial Services and Eaton Vance. Hillenbrand is transitioning its business away from its core casket business, due to secular headwinds, and into the industrial-processing equipment industry. Its shares rose during the six-month period after growth and profitability of the new business group improved, and the price of the stock was inexpensively priced. Pawn shop operator First Cash Financial Services strongly performed as it reported strong operating results, driven by robust top-line growth and solid profitability improvement. Investment management company Eaton Vance reported strong results, with better-than-expected net inflows and earnings per share.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Buckhead's portion of the Portfolio was reallocated to the remaining three Sub-Advisors.)
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. While stock selection detracted from results during the period we sub-advised a portion of the Portfolio, sector allocation added value.

Sub-Advisors' comments – concluded
Investments in certain technology stocks were among our weaker holdings during the period under review. For example, shares of Jabil Circuit and On Semiconductor declined following disappointing earnings releases. Knight Capital performed poorly, as well, due to significant losses from the implementation of faulty trading software. Coinstar sold off, as fears of slowing growth negatively impacted investor sentiment. Despite the weak-performing areas, there were also sectors that contributed to performance. Among financial service companies, First Horizon and Raymond James were significant contributors to our performance. Rock Tenn, a packaging company, posted strong results and positively added to results.
At the end of the period when we managed a portion of the Portfolio, our portion of the Portfolio was overweight relative to the benchmark in consumer, producer durable and technology stocks, neutral in basic materials and underweight health care, energy, financial services and utilities.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies are typically subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger, more established companies. Therefore, they are considered to have a higher level of volatility and risk.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 11.69%; 5-year period, 2.06%; 10-year period, 7.21%; Class C—1-year period, 16.35%; 5-year period, 2.43%; 10-year period, 7.00%; Class Y—1-year period, 18.45%; 5-year period, 3.51%; 10-year period, 8.15%; Class P—1-year period, 16.06%; 5-year period, 1.34%; 10-year period, 5.86%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.32% and 1.32%; Class C—2.07% and 2.07%; Class Y—1.16% and 1.16%; and Class P—1.22% and 1.16%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.41%; Class C—2.16%; Class Y—1.16% and Class P—1.16%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed this expense cap. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

It includes those Russell 2500 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The Russell 2500 Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the small to mid-cap value market. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small to mid-cap opportunity set and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

Sub-Advisors' comments1
Copper Rock
Our portion of the Portfolio performed largely in line with the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection in the financials, materials and industrials sectors, along with an underweight to the health care sector, contributed to performance. In contrast, stock selection in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors detracted from results.
In terms of individual stocks, the top contributors to our performance during the reporting period included Eagle Materials, PVH Corp., Brunswick Corp., United Rentals and Robbins and Myers. In August 2012, Robbins and Myers, a manufacturer of oil and gas exploration equipment and systems for industrial, energy, and pharmaceutical end markets, was acquired by National Oilwell Varco, Inc. at a 30% premium and the stock increased more than 43% on this news. United Rentals, a provider of construction and industrial equipment rentals and sales, exceeded expectations during the third quarter of 2012. In particular, the company cited strong margin improvement from rental rates and synergies from a recent acquisition. There continues to be further signs of improvement in the non-residential construction market and this, coupled with the recovery in industrials that began in October 2012, caused the stock to move higher.
Stocks that detracted from performance during the reporting period included Align Technology, Clean Harbors and Tangoe. The cyclicality of Clean Harbors business increased after two acquisitions in the energy space and lower natural gas prices had caused a near term disruption, which impacted the demand and profitability of its business. We believe there is limited visibility in the energy segment that could have led to further declines in consensus

Sub-Advisors' comments – continued
estimates, and as a result, we exited the position during the reporting period. Align Technology manufactures and markets the Invisalign orthodontic system. The company performed poorly after reporting quarterly earnings that were below expectations. In addition, Align Technology made an acquisition that we did not believe was synergistic or accretive to its existing operations, and as a result, we exited the position during the reporting period.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Riverbridge Partners
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, but underperformed the Fund's benchmark during the reporting period. Contributing to our relative performance was stock selection within the health care and consumer discretionary sectors. We also benefited from an overweight to the strong performing industrials sector. Conversely, stock selection within the information technology and consumer staples sectors detracted from relative performance. An underweight to the materials sector was also detrimental, as it outperformed during the reporting period.
Our best performing individual holdings during the period were Financial Engines, Inc. (financials sector) and Mobile Mini, Inc. (industrials sector). Conversely, our worst performing holdings were Ebix, Inc. (information technology sector) and FARO Technologies (information technology sector).
We believe that we are in an advantageous position, as we do not need to readjust our portion of the Portfolio based on a short-term economic outlook. We avoid much of the market noise and turbulence by focusing on the fundamental strength of our holdings. We believe the management teams of our portfolio companies are very adroit at navigating the ever-changing opportunities and challenges of our global economy. Attempting to position a portfolio relative to near-term expectations is at best formidable, and most times futile.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Palisade
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Industrials and consumer discretionary were the worst relative performing sectors during the period. Detracting from results included our positions in Acacia Research, a licenser and enforcer of patents, and Big Lots, an operator of closeout retail stores. We exited our position in Big Lots, as fundamentals have deteriorated and our confidence in the management team waned.
Our best performing relative sectors were health care and materials. Within health care, strong performers included MAP Pharmaceuticals, which received an acquisition offer from Allergan, and hospital operator Health Management Associates. Within materials, U.S. Silica, a producer of silica used as a proppant in the oil and gas industry, was a standout performer.
Investment process (concluded)
Riverbridge believes that earnings power determines the value of a franchise. Riverbridge focuses on companies that are viewed as building their earnings power and building the intrinsic value of the company over long periods of time. Riverbridge looks to invest in high-quality growth companies that demonstrate the ability to sustain strong secular earnings growth, regardless of overall economic conditions.
Palisade seeks fundamentally strong and dynamic small- and mid-cap companies that are trading at a discount to their growth rates. Palisade's goal is to ascertain a dynamic of change before it manifests in consensus estimates. Palisade believes that the small- and mid-cap market is inherently less efficient than the large-cap market, and attempts to gain an information advantage through fundamental research.

Sub-Advisors' comments – concluded
The six-month period proved to be difficult for many growth managers, including ourselves. Despite the strong overall performance of the market, lower growth, lower price-to-earnings (P/E) stocks performed better than higher growth, higher P/E stocks. We remain focused on our individual stocks and continue to take advantage of dislocations in the market. Our companies continue to be attractive acquisition candidates. For example, during the fourth quarter of 2012, Freeport-McMoRan announced its intention to acquire Plains Exploration & Production Co., which we held in our portion of the Portfolio until December 5, 2012, when we sold it for a gain. We continue to believe that through strong stock picking we will outperform over the longer term.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. In addition, small- and mid-cap companies are typically subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger, more established companies. Therefore, they are considered to have a higher level of volatility and risk. Also, to the extent the Portfolio invests a large portion of its assets in a particular sector, the Portfolio may experience greater volatility and risk of loss due to unfavorable developments in that sector.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 10.19%; 5-year period, 1.68%; 10-year period, 7.92%; Class C—1-year period, 14.70%; 5-year period, 2.05%; 10-year period, 7.68%; Class Y—1-year period, 16.76%; 5-year period, 3.09%; 10-year period, 8.86%; Class P—1-year period, 14.48%; 5-year period, 1.01%; 10-year period, 6.60%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.30% and 1.30%; Class C—2.05% and 2.05%; Class Y—1.25% and 1.13%; and Class P—1.18% and 1.13%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.38%; Class C—2.13%; Class Y—1.13%; and Class P—1.13%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
5 The Russell 2500 Growth Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap growth segment of the US equity universe. It includes those Russell 2500 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2500 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the small to mid-cap growth market. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small to mid-cap opportunity set and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Sub-Advisors' comments1
Martin Currie
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, due to stock selection. Conversely, sector and regional allocation were both slightly positive for results.
At a regional level, good stock selection in Asian equities was more than offset by our European holdings. An overweight to developed Middle East also slightly detracted from results. Conversely, an underweight to Japan contributed to relative performance. The financials, energy and materials sectors were the largest detractors from results, while consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors were the only significant positive contributors to performance.
In terms of individual stocks, the biggest detractors from our performance were a trio of European holdings: BG Group, Serco and Fresenius Medical Care. UK energy company BG Group was the worst performer, as its share price was impacted by a downgrade due to its short-term production outlook. We maintained the position as its asset base and valuation are attractive, and we believe that growth should improve. Fresenius Medical Care, a German-listed dialysis specialist, weakened due to concerns about US government reimbursement rates for dialysis. While we continue to like the defensive growth characteristics of the dialysis market, in the short term there could be further uncertainty surrounding US

Investment process:
Martin Currie has a highly active "conviction" approach, seeking the best opportunities for growth across global stock markets. At Martin Currie, they believe stock focused portfolios, driven by fundamental research, are the best way to exploit market inefficiencies and generate consistent outperformance. They use a consistent analytical framework to find undervalued stocks by assessing quality, value and growth characteristics over a three to five year time horizon. The result is the construction of portfolios which exhibit quality and growth characteristics and attractive valuations. In managing its segment of the Portfolio's assets, Martin Currie uses a fully integrated international investment process seeking to identify the connections that others miss. So rather than running distinct regional portfolios, it compares and ranks stock opportunities across the whole investment universe. To help identify and evaluate the best stock ideas, Martin Currie works closely with teams of dedicated regional and global

spending cuts. Serco, a UK-listed services firm, was negatively impacted by uncertainty about the timing of US outsourcing projects. However, we maintained the holding in this robust, cash generative business.
On the positive side, Australian diversified financial company Macquarie Group, a recent addition to our portfolio, made the biggest contribution to performance in our portion of the Portfolio. On top of the general strength of financials during the reporting period, investors began to recognize the value of management changes and the company's potential operating leverage, given an increase in takeover activity. German TV channel ProSiebenSat was the second best contributor, followed by Macau-based casino operator SJM. ProSiebenSat sold its Nordic assets at a good price, while SJM continued to benefit from the expansion of transport links with mainland China and Hong Kong.
We made no use of derivatives during the review period.
J.P. Morgan (International REI)
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. At the sector level, stock selection in basic industries, banks and finance were the largest contributors to our performance, while utilities and banks detracted from results. Regionally, stock selection in Europe and Japan added value, while holdings in the Pacific Rim were, overall, negative for results.
At the stock level, Japanese steelmaker JFE Holdings was a strong contributor to performance, as its share price rallied with the rest of the Japanese market in anticipation of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party ("LDP") reclaiming power during the December 2012 elections. The LDP ran on a platform of re-flating the Japanese economy and reversing the yen's strength by advocating more central bank easing and fiscal spending. At the same time, the Chinese economy has shown signs of picking up. A weaker yen helps Japanese steelmakers relative to their regional competitors.
On the downside, E.On, a German utility, lagged the benchmark, as the company reduced its earnings forecast and hinted at possibly cutting its dividend. Last year's decision by the German government to shut down all of the country's nuclear power plants, a reaction to the Fukushima disaster in Japan, combined with the country's shift to renewable energy sources, has posed major challenges for the company. Wholesale prices for power in Germany fell sharply in 2012, as

sector research specialists with the sole objective of finding those companies that can deliver outperformance.
J.P. Morgan manages two separate segments of the Portfolio's assets, utilizing distinct principal investment strategies and portfolio management for each. In managing one segment of the Portfolio's assets, the International Research Enhanced Index Strategy segment ("International REI" segment), J.P. Morgan uses a bottom-up, research driven strategy that seeks to generate risk characteristics that closely match those of the Portfolio's benchmark yet at the same time capitalize on the information advantage created by the firm's proprietary research capabilities to generate outperformance. The strategy is driven by valuation based fundamental analysis, focused on normalized earnings and earnings growth. The J.P. Morgan team seeks to maintain regional weights and sector/industry weights close to those of the benchmark. Stock selection is the focus, being the expected primary source of added value.
In managing the second segment of the Portfolio's assets, the Europe, Australasia, and Far East Opportunities Strategy segment ("EAFE Opportunities" segment), J.P. Morgan uses an active equity strategy, which represents a partnership between portfolio management and the firm's proprietary network of analysts. J.P. Morgan applies a uniform valuation methodology across regions and sectors, and analysts conduct thorough analysis with a particular emphasis on a company's normalized (or mid-cycle) earnings and their intermediate growth rate. J.P. Morgan typically focuses on the most attractive companies, within a sector, that possess a catalyst for share price appreciation in an effort to build a portfolio where stock selection is the primary source of added value.

renewable sources like wind turbines and solar contributed more to the power grid, making it harder for E.On's gas fired plants to make money.
We utilized currency forwards during the reporting period to reduce currency deviations from the benchmark as a means of risk management. Additionally, equity traded futures were used for the sole purpose of managing cash flows more efficiently. We do not seek to add value via active currency management.
J.P. Morgan (EAFE Opportunities)
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. At the sector level, stock selection in energy and our underweights to banks and finance were the largest detractors from performance, while stock selection in basic industries and property were the largest contributors to performance. Regionally, Europe, including the UK, detracted the most from results, while stock selection and our underweight to the Pacific Rim added the most value. Regional allocation is a residual effect of stock selection opportunities.
At the stock level, UK oil/gas explorer Tullow Oil, performed poorly due to project delays and disappointing drilling results. During 2012, the company wrote off a total of $299 million for unsuccessful wells in Guyana, Surinam and Ghana, up from $121 million the prior year. It is not unusual for companies like Tullow Oil to go through such periods, as the exploration business is inherently risky and stocks have a tendency to decline as initial optimism over discoveries give way to the almost inevitable setbacks and more cautious attitude that usually accompany bringing these discoveries on stream. However, Tullow Oil has a strong record of opening up new frontier basins and 2013 is scheduled to be the company's busiest exploration year yet. The company plans to drill 40 wells this year, which could provide a positive catalyst for the stock.
On the upside, Solvay, a Belgian chemical company, was a strong contributor to our results. Its earnings were up 4% year-over-year during the third quarter of 2012, as the company added capacity for specialty polymers and higher prices for guar gum offset margin erosion in other products such as polyamide, vinyl and rare earth oxides. The better-than-expected results added credibility to management's full year forecast, which some feared might have to be revised downward. Last year's acquisition of Rhodia has proven to be a boon for Solvay, as record results for Rhodia's quar gum polymer, which is used as a gelling agent in "fracking," has been a major driver of growth. Meanwhile, the company continues to exploit the restructuring opportunities stemming from the merger, generating €55 million in cost savings during the first half of 2012. Total cost savings for the full year are expected to reach €130 million.

Investment process (concluded)
Mondrian conducts research on a global basis in an effort to identify securities that have the potential for capital appreciation over a market cycle. The center of its research effort is a value-oriented dividend discount methodology toward individual securities and market analysis that attempts to identify value across country boundaries. This approach focuses on future anticipated dividends, and discounts the value of those dividends back to what they would be worth if they were being paid today. Comparisons of the values of different possible investments are then made. In an international portfolio, currency returns can be an integral component of an investment's total return. Mondrian uses a purchasing power parity approach to assess the value of individual currencies. Purchasing power parity attempts to identify the amount of goods and services that a dollar will buy in the United States, and compares that to the amount of a foreign currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in another country.

Sub-Advisors' comments – concluded
Mondrian
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Allocation between sectors was the dominant influence on relative returns, as traditional cyclically sensitive sectors outperformed classically defensive sectors. In particular, an underweight to the strong financials sector and an overweight in the relatively weak telecommunication services sector detracted from results. Allocation between markets was broadly in line with the benchmark. While an overweight in Spain and an underweight in Sweden added to relative returns, the positive impact was offset by overweights in France and Israel. Stock selection within markets detracted from results, driven by stock selection in the UK and Germany.
The main highlights of the strategy being adopted for our portion of the Portfolio going forward are an overweight in selected European markets, overweights in the telecommunications services, consumer staples and health care sectors, underweights in the materials and industrials sectors and a defensive currency hedge in the Australian dollar.
Derivative exposure within our portion of the Portfolio was in the form of defensive forward currency contracts in an unleveraged and fully covered manner. At the end of the reporting period, we hedged 79% of the Australian dollar exposure, using three-month forward currency contracts. We have chosen to hedge this currency, as our analysis shows it is significantly overvalued and we wish to protect the value of the underlying investments in these markets. During the reporting period, the impact of defensive currency hedging was neutral.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social, and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. These risks are greater for investments in emerging market issuers than for issuers in more developed countries.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 10.53%; 5-year period, (6.22)%; 10-year period, 6.78%; Class C—1-year period, 14.95%; 5-year period, (5.94)%; 10-year period, 6.49%; Class Y—1-year period, 17.30%; 5-year period, (4.86)%; 10-year period, 7.78%; Class P—1-year period, 14.92%; 5-year period, (6.80)%; 10-year period, 5.54%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.43% and 1.43%; Class C—2.27% and 2.27%; Class Y—1.18% and 1.18%; and Class P—1.18% and 1.18%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.55%; Class C—2.30%; Class Y—1.30%; and Class P—1.30%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
5 The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Dividends are reinvested after the deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. The Index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Mondrian
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Market and stock selection in Asia was the primary driver of outperformance, as an overweight to India and underweights to Korea and Malaysia proved to be particularly beneficial. The Indian equity market performed well, as the government announced a series of policy initiatives beginning in September 2012, leading to hopes of a resumption of investment activity, while slowing inflation created an expectation of interest rate cuts. These circumstances led to strong performance from our interest rate sensitive stocks, such as Indian financial companies Axis Bank and Rural Electrification Corp. and commercial vehicle manufacturer Tata Motors. Our portion of the Portfolio also benefited from underweights to weak performing Malaysia and Korea. The strength of the Korean won also led to underperformance of key export-linked Korean companies that are not held in our portion of the Portfolio. However, these strengths were partially offset by the impact of our position in Yum Brands, as concerns over food quality led to a weaker outlook for sales in the company's Chinese business.

the benchmark in a strongly rising market, was also a drag on results.
We benefited from strong stock selection in Mexico and Peru. In particular, financial companies Santander Mexico, Compartamos and Credicorp outperformed the benchmark, reflecting strength in their domestic economies. Both Mexican mining group Grupo Mexico and airport operator Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico experienced significant gains in their share prices, while telecom operator America Movil slightly underperformed alongside other global telecommunication stocks.
In Europe, we benefited from an overweight to the strong performing Turkish market. Stock selection in Russia was also positive for our performance, as energy company Lukoil and commercial bank Sberbank outperformed the benchmark. However, this positive performance was offset by the impact of our lack of exposure to the strong performances of Poland and Hungary, coupled with the weak performance of Kazakh energy company Kazmunaigas. Finally, our portion of the Portfolio benefited from an underweight to the weak South African rand.
There were no derivative positions held or traded during this period.
William Blair
Our portion of the Portfolio slightly underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. While our stock selection and focus on high quality companies detracted from relative performance during the last few months of 2012, they aided results in January 2013. Overall, stock selection in emerging Asia hampered returns. In particular, our position in Dongfeng Motor, a Chinese-based manufacturer that sells commercial and passenger vehicles, engines and automotive related products, produced weak results and, as a result, we sold the position in favor of another Chinese vehicle manufacturer. Stock selection in the industrials sector was primarily driven by weakness in both Samsung Engineering and United Tractors, and consequently, we sold our positions in the two companies.
Our positioning in the consumer discretionary sector was augmented by good stock selection in autos, along with recovering sales trends at Belle International, a Chinese sportswear retailer. Our exposure to the consumer staples sector benefited from a strong return in the overweighted

the value of those dividends back to what they would be worth if they were being paid today. Comparisons of the values of different possible investments are then made. In an international portfolio, currency returns can be an integral component of an investment's total return. Mondrian uses a purchasing power parity approach to assess the value of individual currencies. Purchasing power parity attempts to identify the amount of goods and services that a dollar will buy in the United States, and compares that to the amount of a foreign currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in another country.
Delaware selects growth-oriented and value-oriented investments on the basis of the investment's discount to its intrinsic value. When selecting growth-oriented securities, Delaware typically seeks high growth caused by long-term economic factors, which may include demographics, economic deregulation, and technological developments. When selecting value-oriented securities, Delaware typically seeks lower valuations caused by cyclical economic factors or temporary changes in business operations. Strong management and sustainable business franchise are key considerations in selecting both growth-oriented and value-oriented securities.
Pzena follows a disciplined investment process to implement its value philosophy. Pzena focuses exclusively on companies that are underperforming their historically demonstrated earnings power, and applies intensive fundamental research to these companies in an effort to determine whether the causes of the earnings shortfall are temporary or permanent. Pzena looks for companies where, in its opinion: (1) the

food/staples retailing industry and our food products holdings were also additive to performance. Oil/gas stock selection was positive, largely due to recovering production growth at Chinese offshore drilling company CNOOC. However, we sold out of our position in CNOOC in the middle of January 2013, due to valuation concerns. In addition, not owning several weak performing Brazilian companies, including OGX and Petrobras, aided relative results. Our allocation to the telecommunication services sector was beneficial, driven by strong wireless performance, as was our lack of exposure to weak performing diversified telecommunication companies.
Conversely, our allocation to the financials sector was primarily hurt by an underweight and stock selection in Asia, which more than offset positive stock selection in financials in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Our positioning in the information technology sector was hurt by an overweight and stock selection in Chinese Internet software/services companies. In addition, Cielo, Brazil's largest card payments processor by market value, detracted from performance. Cielo is a high return, stable revenue business, supported by solid secular growth trends in consumer credit. We eliminated the position due to increased regulatory concerns, amid the Brazilian government's possible intervention in the credit card industry.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Lee Munder
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period from our inception as a Sub-Advisor on October 16, 2012 through January 31, 2013. Our Valuation factor, which evaluates stocks' relative value using a variety of measures, was positive for performance, especially in December 2012, when the global equity markets soared on hopes that the US government would reach an agreement on taxes and spending to avert the "fiscal cliff." While the results from our Market Dynamics factor (the Market Dynamics factor ranks stocks versus their peers on earnings growth prospects and relative strength) were slightly negative, overall, for the period, they were positive in November 2012 and January 2013. In December, the strong results from the Valuation factor were almost exactly offset by the negative performance from our Market Dynamics factor. Elsewhere, the results from our Quality factor, which assesses a company's earnings quality as well as its operating efficiency and use of capital, detracted from results. During the reporting period, investor risk appetite was generally robust and the markets

current market price is low compared to the company's normalized earnings power; (2) current earnings are below historic norms; (3) the problems are temporary; (4) management has a viable strategy to generate earnings recovery; and/or (5) there is meaningful downside protection in case the earnings recovery does not materialize.
William Blair invests in a portfolio of mid cap and large cap equity securities issued by companies in emerging markets worldwide, according to a quality growth philosophy. William Blair's primary focus is on identifying such companies whose growth characteristics (rate and durability) are underestimated by the market and supported by quality management and strong competitive positioning. After screening the universe of emerging country issuers for certain quality, growth and liquidity characteristics to create a prospective list of investible securities, William Blair undertakes detailed fundamental analysis of these companies, focusing attention on areas where short- to intermediate-term earnings trends and overall operating performance are improving or are strong. Key considerations are the sustainability of a company's competitive advantage relative to peers, its industry and market conditions, a sound financial structure and high reinvestment rates that combine to create favorable conditions for prospective growth.
Lee Munder uses a bottom-up quantitative approach to investing in emerging markets equity securities. Inefficiencies in the market create opportunities, and Lee Munder believes that a quantitative process, which relies on sophisticated mathematical or statistical models in selecting investments, is well-suited to capture these inefficiencies

moved sharply higher.
Stock selection was beneficial for our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period, led by our positioning in the financials, materials and industrials sectors. Our weakest stock selection was in the consumer discretionary sector. Sector allocation was slightly negative during the reporting period, largely due to an underweight in financials. Our best stock selection, in terms of countries, was in China, Mexico and Malaysia, while the worst was in Russia. Country allocation modestly added to performance, led by an overweight position in Thailand.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Delaware (Note: Delaware was terminated as a Sub-Advisor for the Portfolio effective October 15, 2012, and its portion of the Portfolio was transitioned to Lee Munder Capital Group on October 16, 2012. The following commentary only covers the period of time during which Delaware sub-advised a portion of the Portfolio, from August 1, 2012 to October 15, 2012.)
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. Our overweight in consumer staples contributed to performance during the reporting period. In particular, shares of KT&G, a Korean manufacturer of tobacco and ginseng products, rose after reporting steady earnings growth and due to the general defensive nature of its business. Tingyi, a Chinese beverage and noodle maker, and Brasil Foods, a diversified food manufacturer, also contributed to performance during the reporting period.
Our allocation to the materials sector was another key source of positive performance, largely driven by our position in Mexico-based Cemex, one of the world's largest cement producers. Shares of Cemex rose as the company took steps to restructure its high level of debt and also due to signs of fundamental improvement in key markets, including the US.
Energy also contributed to our performance, primarily due to an overweight in Petrobras, a Brazilian integrated oil producer. Shares of Petrobras moved higher as investors became more comfortable with the company's large capital expenditure plans for its newest offshore oil fields.
Only two sectors detracted from performance during the period: financials and health care. In the financials sector, South Africa's Standard Bank was a key detractor from performance, as investors became concerned about weak economic growth and its impact on new lending. Banco Santander do Brasil detracted from performance, as Brazil's economy slowed sharply during the reporting period. Some of this underperformance was offset by the positive contributions of Korea's KB Financial and Hungary's OTP Bank. We subsequently sold our position in OTP Bank due to deteriorating fundamentals in several of its key markets. Health care detracted from our relative performance, as we maintained a zero weighting in the sector due to a lack of companies that met our investment criteria.

Our performance benefited from our deep value positioning, as emerging markets equities rebounded from weakness in the first half of 2012. The positive trend seen in emerging markets equities was in line with broader global markets, as investors became more optimistic regarding the European sovereign debt crisis, the US "fiscal cliff" and China's ability to avoid a hard landing for its economy. With the exception of utilities, all sectors positively contributed to our performance during the reporting period. The broad-based nature of our outperformance was reflected in the diversity of the top performing stocks in our portfolio, such as Usiminas (industrials), Hon Hai (information technology) and Petrobras (energy). The largest individual detractors from performance were also diverse and reflected individual stock issues, including Texwinca Holdings (manufacturing), Huadian Power (utilities) and Compal Electronics (information technology).
During the reporting period, emerging markets equity performance was similar to that of developed market equities, as the more defensive sectors, such as health care and consumer staples, outperformed more economically sensitive sectors. While the two heaviest-weighted countries in the benchmark, China and Brazil, fared relatively poorly, Taiwan and India posted impressive returns. Government reform measures in India are expected to avert the possibility of a credit rating downgrade and, consequently, these actions boosted stocks as well as the rupee during the reporting period.
We did not employ the use of derivatives during the reporting period.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies in whose securities the Portfolio invests. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social, and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. These risks are greater for investments in emerging market issuers than for issuers in more developed countries.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 13.33%; 5-year period, (2.82)%; 10-year period, 13.81%; Class C—1-year period, 17.94%; 5-year period, (2.45)%; 10-year period, 13.59%; Class Y—1-year period, 20.26%; 5-year period, (1.41)%; 10-year period, 14.87%; Class P—1-year period, 17.54%; 5-year period, (3.64)%; 10-year period, 12.25%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.90% and 1.90%; Class C—2.65% and 2.65%; Class Y—1.67% and 1.67%; and Class P—1.88% and 1.88%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—2.15%; Class C—2.90%; Class Y—1.90%; and Class P—1.90%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
2 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.
3 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
5 The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of different emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Basin. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Sub-Advisors' comments1
CBRE Clarion
While we generated a strong absolute return, our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. This underperformance was primarily due to stock selection. In particular, our holdings in the US detracted from results, more than offsetting positive stock selection in the Asia-Pacific region. In the US, our stock selection and an overweight to the apartment sector were not rewarded. Despite delivering some of the strongest earnings growth of US property companies and generally exceeding expectations, the apartment sector lagged the benchmark. The sector battled negative "headwinds," due to an increase in apartment unit starts and a recovery in single-family housing, which the market apparently assumed would impede demand for rental housing. We believed negative sentiment toward the apartment sector to be overdone and were somewhat vindicated at the end of 2012, as apartment stocks began to outperform in the face of overwhelming evidence that apartment fundamentals remained strong, despite a nascent recovery in the US housing market. Asset allocation modestly detracted from results, primarily due to the drag of a modest cash position in a strong market, neutralizing the value added from positive asset allocation decisions in the Americas region during the reporting period.

Investment process:
CBRE Clarion (formerly, ING Clarion Real Estate Securities) uses a multi-step investment process for constructing the investment portfolio. This process combines top-down region and sector allocation with bottom-up individual stock selection. First, CBRE Clarion selects property sectors and geographic regions in which to invest and determines the degree of representation of such sectors and regions, through a systematic evaluation of public and private real estate market trends and conditions. Second, CBRE Clarion uses a proprietary valuation process in an effort to identify investments with superior current income and growth potential relative to their peers.
1 All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisors' comments – continued
Our current portfolio positioning is based on an improving economic outlook with a continued focus on valuation. We expect that with an improving economic outlook, markets will embrace listed property companies with more exposure to growth. Our portfolio positioning remains focused on attractively priced companies, geographies and property sectors that we feel will benefit the most from improving economic conditions. Geographically, we remain underweight Europe, which we expect to be economically challenged in 2013. We are more favorably inclined toward the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions, given their superior economic growth outlook and associated growth in real estate cash flows.
In terms of property type, in the US we are overweight the mall, apartment, hotel and industrial sectors. We remain underweight the suburban office, health care, storage and net lease sectors. In Europe, we have a bias toward the dominant Western European retail companies, excluding the UK, and a preference for office companies in London that focus on the supply constrained West End submarket. In the Asia-Pacific region, we generally favor the office, retail and industrial sectors. We remain overweight Australian real estate investment trusts (REITs), as well as Japanese property companies with significant exposure to the Tokyo office market. We remain cautious on the residential sector in Hong Kong and Singapore, as a result of increasingly effective governmental cooling measures.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Brookfield
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection. Additionally, industry allocation and country allocation contributed to results, while regional allocation was largely flat during the reporting period.
The US was the strongest country contributor, while healthcare was the strongest contributor from a sector perspective. In both cases, stock selection was the driving factor, partially due to our out-of-benchmark allocation to health care operator Brookdale Senior Living. Health care operators specializing in private pay facilities were strong performers during the period due to attractive fundamentals, as well as uncertainty surrounding US government Medicare reimbursements. In addition, Brookdale Senior Living strongly rallied late in 2012, on rumors that it may pursue a restructuring into a REIT or operating company/property company. Other positive key contributors to performance included stock selection in global office companies and our overweight to the strong performing homebuilder sector.
Investment process (concluded)
Brookfield invests in a diversified portfolio of global securities of companies primarily in the real estate industry, including real estate investment trusts, real estate operating companies, companies whose value is significantly affected by the value of such companies' real estate holdings, and related entities and structures. Brookfield utilizes a fundamental, bottom-up, value-based stock selection methodology.

Sub-Advisors' comments – concluded
Conversely, there were a few notable detractors from performance. Thematically, improvement in the Chinese economy was the foundation for underperformance, as we did not anticipate a rapid recovery. As such, an underweight to the Asia Pacific region, particularly Hong Kong, detracted from results. However, an overweight to China partially offset these losses. Residential developers also detracted from relative performance, driven mostly by our zero allocation to Asia Pacific residential developers. Finally, our zero weight in Wharf Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong retail company, was the largest individual detractor from relative performance, as Hong Kong retail fundamentals quickly accelerated in 2012, due to the rebound in China's economy.
Our portion of the Portfolio did not hold derivatives during the reporting period.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for long-term investors seeking to diversify a portion of their assets into real estate related investments. Investors should be willing to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity and real estate markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long term. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the companies or issuers in whose securities the Portfolio invests. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social, and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. These risks are greater for investments in emerging market issuers than for issuers in more developed countries. There are certain risks associated with investing in real estate-related investments, including sensitivity to economic downturns, interest rates, declines in property values and variation in property management.

Average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2012, after deduction of the maximum sales charge or PACE Select program fee, were as follows: Class A—1-year period, 21.76%; 5-year period, (3.17)%; since inception, (3.46)%; Class C—1-year period, 27.07%; 5-year period, (2.82)%; since inception, (3.31)%; Class Y—1-year period, 29.40%; since inception, 16.68%; Class P—1-year period, 26.90%; 5-year period, (3.74)%; since inception, (5.00)%.
The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.69% and 1.45%; Class C—2.44% and 2.20%; Class Y—1.39% and 1.20%; and Class P—1.65% and 1.20%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.45%; Class C—2.20%; Class Y—1.20% and Class P—1.20%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Since inception returns are calculated as of commencement of issuance on December 18, 2006 for Class A and C shares, and January 22, 2007 for Class P shares. Class Y shares commenced issuance on November 30, 2006 and had fully redeemed by February 15, 2007 remaining inactive through December 25, 2008. The inception return of Class Y shares is calculated from December 26, 2008, which is the date the Class Y shares recommenced investment operations. Since inception returns for the Index and Lipper median are shown as of December 31, 2006, which is the month-end after the inception date of the oldest share classes (Class A and Class C).
2 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.
3 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
5 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.
6 The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index is designed to track the performance of listed real estate companies and real estate investment trusts ("REITs") worldwide. By making the index constituents free-float adjusted, liquidity, size and revenue screened, the series is suitable for use as the basis for investment products, such as derivatives and exchange traded funds. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Sub-Advisors' comments1
Please note: On December 3, 2012, First Quadrant L.P. began serving as a Sub-Advisor for the Equitized Global Macro portion of this Portfolio, a new portion of the Portfolio. First Quadrant now manages two portions of the Portfolio.
First Quadrant's Equitized Global Macro ("EGTAA") strategy is composed of MSCI World equity beta, a measure of the volatility of a portfolio in comparison to the Fund's benchmark as a whole, plus its Global Macro strategy at a 4% risk level. The alpha from the 4% active risk overlay is sourced from country selection in equity, fixed income, currency and volatility markets on a market neutral, relative-value basis. First Quadrant's Global Macro strategy is a zero-beta strategy that can be managed at various target risk levels, and can be used as a stand-alone strategy or implemented over a market beta such as that of the MSCI World Index.
Analytic Investors
Our portion of the Portfolio consists of long-short equity positions.2 Our process is based on the premise that investor behavior slowly changes over time and is fairly persistent from month to month. To support this premise, our model is driven by specific security characteristics within seven groups (such as valuation, quality and liquidity), to help us identify potential investment opportunities.

Investment process:
Analytic Investors primarily employs a long/short global equity strategy. This strategy is implemented by taking long and short positions of equity securities publicly traded in the United States and in foreign markets both by direct equity investment and through derivatives. Analytic Investors' strategy may also employ the use of derivatives, such as swaps, futures, non-deliverable forwards ("NDFs"), and forward contracts.
1 All Sub-Advisors discuss performance on a gross of fees basis—meaning that no fees or expenses are reflected in their sleeves'/sleeve's performance. Alternately, Portfolio performance is shown net of fees, which does factor in fees and expenses associated with the Portfolio.
2 When a long position is taken, a security is purchased with the expectation that it will rise in value. A short position is taken when we believe, based on our research, that securities are overpriced, and, therefore, we hope to make a profit when the security falls in value. When shorting an investment, we borrow the security, sell it, and then buy an equal number of shares later—hopefully at a lower price—to replace those we borrowed.

An emphasis on low beta stocks detracted from performance during the period, as low beta securities underperformed high beta securities. (Beta is a measure of volatility or risk relative to the market as a whole.)
In terms of stock selection, an emphasis on companies with strong price momentum was beneficial, as these companies continued to perform well. In contrast, favoring higher quality, low risk securities negatively impacted performance, as companies with these characteristics, such as above average profit margins, underperformed.
We experienced strong results in North America and the Pacific Regions, while our European exposure was negative for performance. An overweight position in the Pacific Region was beneficial for performance, specifically in Hong Kong. Within North America, stock selection was strong in both the US and Canada. An underweight exposure to Europe, which was the strongest performing region, coupled with poor security selection within the region, negatively impacted relative results.
With regards to sectors, we generated positive results within energy, as an overweight position to strong performing Marathon Petroleum Corp. and a short position in the weak performing Meg Energy Corp. were two of our top performing positions during the reporting period. Additionally, the health care sector added value, as a long position in Warner Chilcott Plc. was rewarded. Detracting from results were our exposures to the financials and consumer discretionary sectors. In particular, a short position in Sampo Oyj, a Finland-based company engaged in investment activities, was not rewarded as the company's shares moved higher during the reporting period. In addition, a long position in Best Buy negatively impacted returns, as this consumer discretionary company performed poorly.
Derivatives were not used during the six-month period.
First Quadrant (Global Macro)
During the reporting period, our portion of the Portfolio had solid performance, with the majority of our alpha sources adding value.
Currency selection was the strongest sleeve in our portion of the Portfolio, benefiting the most from a short position in the yen and a long position in the euro. These positives were somewhat offset by a long position in the US dollar and a short position in the New Zealand dollar. Positive performance is

Wellington Management pursues an "opportunistic equity plus alpha" strategy by opportunistically seeking non-core equity exposures that Wellington Management believes are attractively valued, have positive structural characteristics in the current market environment or are expected to benefit from anticipated economic cycles. In addition, Wellington Management may employ other investment approaches, for example, by allocating assets to fixed income securities or other non-equity investments that are expected to contribute positive returns over time. Wellington Management may buy and sell, directly or indirectly, listed or unlisted equity and fixed income securities issued by entities around the world, as well as derivative instruments.
First Quadrant employs a "global macro strategy" which is implemented by combining several different complex investment techniques. It uses a "tactical risk allocation" approach across global markets which increases investment risk where it believes opportunities for risk-adjusted profit are high and attempts to lower market risks when it believes gains have been realized and future gains are unlikely. First Quadrant also assesses the combination of local market and economic factors as well as global equity, fixed income or currency market factors and attempts to capture inefficiencies in those markets. First Quadrant's strategy is primarily implemented through the use of derivatives.
Standard Life Investments employs a "global multi-asset strategy" and seeks to achieve a total return by delivering a diversified global portfolio that makes use of multiple strategies across various asset classes. Standard Life Investments aims to exploit market cyclicality and a diverse array of inefficiencies across and within global markets to maximize risk adjusted absolute

attributable to the unhedged export flows indicator, which looks at shorter-term price movements and trade flows. Additionally, our relative valuation measure (which indicates whether a currency is expensive or inexpensive) and quality timing measure (indicates risk environment) both added value.
The volatility alpha sleeve, which seeks to profit from the difference between prices of options, added value during the reporting period. The market contagion sleeve, which seeks to profit from market reactions to changes in risk, whether they are reactions within the market or are the relative reactions across markets to changes in risk, added value during the reporting period.
The global asset class selection sleeve continued to prefer global equities versus global bonds, albeit at a muted level, and this positioning modestly contributed to performance. Bond country selection slightly benefited results, while stock country selection modestly detracted from results. Country stock selection added value at the beginning of the reporting period. However, by the fourth quarter of 2012, risk measurement and macroeconomic strategies generated losses, with long positions in Canada and the US, coupled with a short position in Italy as the main detractors.
As a general rule, derivatives are the primary instrument used to implement all of the sleeves in our portfolio. Specifically, we used developed market futures to implement stock and bond country selection, global asset class selection and market contagion strategies. We used currency forwards to implement currency selection. Futures and forwards were used to gain exposure to stocks, bonds and currencies in a more cost-efficient manner. The volatility management sleeve was implemented using options on developed market futures. Finally, options were used to take advantage of structural characteristics of options pricing.
First Quadrant (Equitized Global Macro)
For the period from December 3, 2012 through January 31, 2013, when we managed a portion of the Portfolio, we produced solid results, with the majority of the sleeves adding value. However, the hedging portion of the equity portfolio modestly detracted from performance during the reporting period.
Currency selection was the strongest sleeve in our portion of the Portfolio and benefited the most from a short position in the yen and a long position in the euro. Positive performance was attributable to the unhedged export flows indicator, which looks at shorter-term price movements and trade flows. While our relative valuation measure (which indicates whether a currency is expensive or inexpensive) added value in December 2012, it fared poorly in January 2013, leading to small losses from our long position in the Great Britain pound and our shorts in the New Zealand dollar and Australian dollar.
The volatility alpha sleeve, which seeks to profit from the difference between prices of options, added value during the reporting period.
The global asset class selection sleeve preferred global equities versus global bonds, albeit at a muted level, and modestly contributed to performance. The reporting period ended with both bond country selection and stock country selection slightly detracting from results. Stock country selection losses were mainly attributable to short positions in Italy and Japan.

return. Standard Life Investments' portion of the Portfolio consists of listed equity, equity-related and debt securities, including exchange traded funds, and will routinely make use of derivatives or other instruments both for investment and hedging purposes. Standard Life Investments may take long and/or short positions, and its derivative investments may include, but are not restricted to, futures, options, swaps, and forward currency contracts.

As a general rule, derivatives are the primary instrument used to implement all of the sleeves in our portfolio. Specifically, we used developed market futures in order to implement stock and bond country selection, global asset class selection, market contagion strategies and the MSCI World equity replication. We used currency forwards to implement currency selection. Futures and forwards were used to gain economic exposure in a more cost-efficient manner relative to traditional instruments (e.g., physical stocks, bonds and currencies). The volatility management sleeve was implemented using options on developed market futures. Options were used to exploit structural characteristics of options pricing.
Overall, the liquidity and low transaction cost of these instruments offers the investment team the ability to be more nimble and implement at a lower cost and we find both attributes to be positive contributors to portfolio performance.
Standard Life Investments
Stock selection was positive for performance in our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period. We diversified our US equity technology versus US small-cap equity strategy by switching approximately half of our short US small-cap position into a short position in Taiwan. This move illustrated our favoring of US technology companies higher up the value chain versus manufacturing technology stocks that dominate the Taiwanese market. Although both of these positions lost value during the reporting period, they acted as useful diversifiers to positions elsewhere in our portion of the Portfolio.
Our fixed income positions were strong performers during the reporting period. We initiated a German versus French bonds strategy during the third quarter of 2012, as we felt that German bonds would outperform. We also initiated a US yield curve steepening strategy in the fourth quarter of 2012, as we believed that the difference between short- and long-term rates would widen. Collectively, while these strategies did not meaningfully impact performance during the reporting period, they allowed us to implement positions against our long term convictions at attractive entry levels.
We introduced a new global real estate investment trust (REIT) strategy in December 2012, taking advantage of the stock picking ability of our property fund managers to select a portfolio of high-yielding listed property globally. The strategy generated positive results from the time it was introduced into the Portfolio through period end.
In the foreign exchange market, toward the end of the third quarter of 2012 we changed our Brazilian real versus Australian dollar strategy to a Mexican peso versus Australian dollar strategy, as we believed in the underlying strength of the Mexican economy and the high cash return on the peso versus the Australian dollar. Additionally, we initiated a long position in the Indian rupee versus the Singapore dollar, as we believed that the global growth slowdown is not reflected in the Singapore dollar as it continued to appreciate. On the other hand, recent negative developments in India are more than reflected in the rupee. In December 2012, we established a Chinese versus Japanese foreign exchange rate volatility strategy, which expresses the view that China will allow the renminbi to fluctuate more versus other major currencies than the market is currently anticipating, especially if a crisis unfolds in China.
Our portion of the Portfolio has a cash benchmark and is mandated to seek absolute return opportunities based on our three-year outlook of markets globally. Our objective is to beat cash returns by 5% on a three-year rolling basis while minimizing portfolio risk. Cash returns remain anchored close to zero during the reporting period and are not expected to increase markedly over the coming three years, as we expect below average growth in developed markets for some time to come. That said, we do not foresee low growth persisting indefinitely, so we have built our portfolio to seek returns to also beat long term expectations of cash returns.

Sub-Advisors' comments – concluded
We extensively utilized derivatives to implement our fundamental strategy; seeking to provide exposure to a wide range of investment opportunities. In terms of derivatives, many of the individual investment strategies in our portion of the Portfolio should be considered in combination with other positions. This is particularly the case, for example, with relative value investments, but is also the case when looking at equity positions. Throughout the reporting period, the results of derivatives used were in line with our risk and return expectations.
Wellington Management (Note: Wellington Management was terminated as a Sub-Advisor for the Portfolio effective November 30, 2012, and its portion of the Portfolio was transitioned to First Quadrant Equitized Global Macro. The following commentary only covers the period of time during which Wellington Management sub-advised a portion of the Portfolio, from August 1, 2012 to November 30, 2012.)
Our portion of the Portfolio posted a positive absolute return during the reporting period. Our exposure to developed global equities and thematic exposure to European equities contributed to absolute performance during the reporting period. Despite continued concerns about the looming US "fiscal cliff" and economic malaise in Europe, investor risk appetite was largely strong during the period, amid further signs of economic recovery in China and a strengthening US housing market. European equities rallied despite a host of weak economic data during the reporting period. Investors continued to take solace in the European Central Bank's bond buying plan and were encouraged when Eurozone finance ministers reached a deal of reducing Greece's debt, clearing the way for the country's next loan disbursement. Also contributing to performance was stock selection within a number of sectors. In particular, top contributors included financials holdings Societe Generale and BNP Paribas, leading producer of private-brand foods and food services products Ralcorp and diversified manufacturer Carlisle.
Our portion of the Portfolio was hurt by its tactical exposures to precious metals, particularly to gold. A lack of inflationary pressures spurred a drop in gold demand during the reporting period. Top detractors included positions in Banro and Centamin. Our exposure to Japanese equities, German bonds and US Treasuries also detracted from absolute returns. Furthermore, we were hurt by our downside protection hedges. Puts on the S&P 500 and DAX detracted from returns, as both markets rose during the period.
Certain derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps and bond futures, were used to gain exposure to global bond markets, implement yield curve and duration strategies and take advantage of inefficiencies within the global bond market. Equity index futures and equity index options were utilized to gain exposure to certain global equity markets and to hedge against anticipated declines. Our portion of the Portfolio also made use of currency forwards to gain exposure to certain currencies, hedge against anticipated changes in currency values and take advantage of inefficiencies between various currencies. The results of the derivatives used during the reporting period were within our expectations.
Special considerations
The Portfolio may be appropriate for investors seeking long term capital appreciation who are able to withstand short-term fluctuations in the equity markets and fixed income markets in return for potentially higher returns over the long-term. The Portfolio may employ investment strategies that involve greater risks than the strategies used by many other mutual funds, including increased use of short sales (which involve the risk of an unlimited increase in the market value of the security sold short, which could result in a theoretically unlimited loss), leverage and derivative transactions, and hedging strategies. The value of the Portfolio changes every day and can be affected by changes in interest rates, general market conditions and other political, social and economic developments, as well as specific matters relating to the issuers of securities in which the Portfolio invests. The value of the Portfolio's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. It is important to note that an investment in the Portfolio is only one component of a balanced investment plan.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2012 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—2.12% and 2.03%; Class C—2.82% and 2.78%; Class Y—1.91% and 1.78%; and Class P—1.85% and 1.78%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Portfolio and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into 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 Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2013 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—1.88%; Class C—2.63%; Class Y—1.63%; and Class P—1.63%. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the Portfolio's expenses in any of those three years to exceed these expense caps. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Portfolio's board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Portfolio's advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Since inception returns are calculated as of commencement of issuance on April 10, 2006 for Class P and Class A shares, and April 11, 2006 for Class C shares. Class Y shares commenced issuance on April 3, 2006, and had fully redeemed by July 27, 2006 remaining inactive through July 22, 2008. The inception return of Class Y shares is calculated from July 23, 2008, which is the date the Class Y shares recommenced investment operations. Since inception returns for the Indices and Lipper median are shown as of April 30, 2006, which is the month-end after the inception date of the oldest share classes (Class P and Class A).

3 Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
4 The Portfolio offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.
5 Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but are subject to a maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% of the value of Class P shares. Prior to June 14, 2010, the maximum annual PACE Select program fee was 1.5% of the value of Class P shares; however, the current maximum annual PACE Select program fee of 2% is reflected in the performance returns throughout all periods in the average annual total returns presented for the Class P shares shown above.

Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
7 The Barclays Global Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad-based, market capitalization weighted index which is designed to measure the broad global markets for US and non US corporate, government, governmental agency, supranational, mortgage-backed and asset-backed fixed income securities. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
8 The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) produces monthly data on changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. The index is calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectuses.
Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Portfolio footnotes
* Non-income producing security.
1 Security is being fair valued by a valuation committee under the direction of the board of trustees.
2 Security, or portion thereof, pledged as collateral for investments sold short, written options or futures.
3 Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At January 31, 2013, the value of these securities amounted to 2.86% of net assets.
4 In US Dollars unless otherwise indicated.
5 Variable or floating rate security. The interest rate shown is the current rate as of January 31, 2013 and changes periodically.
6 Perpetual bond security. The maturity date reflects the next call date.
7 Step bond that converts to the noted fixed rate at a designated future date.
8 Rate shown is the discount rate at date of purchase.
9 Illiquid securities and other instruments representing 2.00% of net assets as of January 31, 2013.
10 Payments made/received are based on the notional amount.
11 If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
12 Payments from/to the counterparty will be received/made upon the occurrence of a failure to pay, obligation acceleration, repudiation or restructuring of the referenced obligation.
13 Credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as "Defaulted" indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity.
14 At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged, where the payoff amount is equivalent to the difference between the realized price variance of the reference entity and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. As a receiver of the realized price variance, the Portfolio would receive the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the reference entity is greater than the strike price and would owe the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price. As a payer of the realized price variance, the Portfolio would owe the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the reference entity is greater than the strike price and would receive the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price.

ILB Inflation-linked bond ("ILB") is a debt security 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 securities is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in an index. Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the securities are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the securities' principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the securities generally pay lower interest rates than typical government securities from the issuers' country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity.

TBA (To Be Announced) Security is purchased on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount (generally +/- 1.0%) and no definite maturity date. The actual principal amount and maturity date will be determined upon settlement when the specific mortgage pools are assigned.
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 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.

Understanding your Portfolio's expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable), including sales charges (loads), or ongoing program fees; and (2) ongoing Portfolio costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees (if applicable); and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, August 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013.
Actual expenses (unaudited)
The first line for each class of shares in the table below for each Portfolio provides information about its 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 for each respective Portfolio under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
The second line for each class of shares in the table below for each Portfolio provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on that Portfolio's actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not that Portfolio's actual return for each class of shares. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs (as applicable), such as sales charges (loads), or program fees. Therefore, the second line in the table for each class of shares for each Portfolio is useful in comparing ongoing Portfolio costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs or program fees were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 Calculated using the average shares method.
2 Total investment return is calculated assuming a $10,000 investment on the first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not include any applicable sales charges, redemption fees or program fees; results would be lower if they were included. Total investment return for the period of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.

PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Organization and significant accounting policies
PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company currently composed of fifteen separate investment portfolios and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware by Certificate of Trust dated September 9, 1994, as amended June 9, 1995 and thereafter. The trustees of the Trust have authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share.
The Trust has fifteen Portfolios available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies: PACE Money Market Investments, PACE Government Securities Fixed Income Investments, PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments, PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments, PACE Municipal Fixed Income Investments, PACE International Fixed Income Investments, PACE High Yield Investments, PACE Large Co Value Equity Investments, PACE Large Co Growth Equity Investments, PACE Small/Medium Co Value Equity Investments, PACE Small/Medium Co Growth Equity Investments, PACE International Equity Investments, PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments (each a "Portfolio" and collectively, the "Portfolios").
Each of the Portfolios is classified as a diversified investment company with the exception of PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments, PACE International Fixed Income Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments. With the exception of PACE Money Market Investments (which currently offers Class P shares only) each Portfolio currently offers Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class P shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Portfolio 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. Prior to March 1, 2012, each Portfolio except PACE Money Market Investments and PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments offered Class B shares. Effective on March 1, 2012 all outstanding Class B shares converted to Class A shares of the same Portfolio. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plan, if any. Class Y and Class P shares have no service or distribution plan. The Portfolios' Class P shares currently are available for purchase only to participants in the PACESM Select Advisors Program, except that PACE Money Market Investments shares are also available to participants in the PACESM Multi Advisor Program.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Portfolio. Expenses directly attributable to each Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio's operations; expenses which are applicable to all Portfolios are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
In the normal course of business, the Portfolios may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Portfolios' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolios have not had such claims or losses through January 31, 2013 pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
PACE Money Market Investments attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share; the Portfolio has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend/distribution policies in an attempt to enable it to do so. As with any money market portfolio, there is no assurance, however, that the Portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are

also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Portfolios' financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Valuation of investments
Each Portfolio calculates its net asset value on days that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. A Portfolio calculates net asset value separately for each class as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, a Portfolio's net asset value per share will be calculated as of the time trading was halted.
PACE Money Market Investments' net asset value per share is expected to be $1.00 per share, although this value is not guaranteed. PACE Money Market Investments values its securities at amortized cost. This method uses a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the cost of the instrument to the fund and the amount due at maturity.
Each Portfolio (other than PACE Money Market Investments) calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Portfolios normally obtain market values for their securities and other instruments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized evaluation systems that derive values based on comparable securities or instruments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities or instruments. If a market value is not readily available from an independent pricing source for a particular security or instrument, that security or instrument is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the board of trustees (the "board").
The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Pursuant to the Portfolios' use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies are also valued at the daily closing net asset value. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Portfolios' custodian and accounting agent. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the NYSE.
Securities and instruments traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Securities and instruments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges are normally valued at the market closing price, the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price.
The board has delegated to the UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. Global Valuation Committee ("GVC") the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Portfolios' holdings. The GVC is comprised of representatives of management, including members of the investment team. The GVC provides reports to the board at each quarterly meeting regarding any securities or instruments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the GVC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions,
255

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
processes, and controls over fair value determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews and periodic internal audit reviews of securities valuations.
The types of securities and other instruments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign securities and instruments under some circumstances, as discussed below; securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; securities or instruments whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed income securities that are in default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and securities or instruments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's or instrument's fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities or instruments; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the securities or instruments are purchased and sold. Valuing securities and other instruments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing securities and other instruments that have readily available market quotations. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by an independent third party.
Each Portfolio expects to price most of its portfolio holdings based on current market value, as discussed previously. Securities and other instruments for which market quotations are not readily available may be valued based upon appraisals received from a pricing service using a computerized evaluation system or formula method that takes into consideration market indices, matrices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Securities and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. If a Portfolio concludes that a market quotation is not readily available for a portfolio security or instrument for any number of reasons, including the occurrence of a "significant event" (e.g., natural disaster or governmental action), after the close of trading in its principal domestic or foreign market but before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, the Portfolio will use fair value methods to reflect those events. This policy is intended to assure that each Portfolio's net asset value fairly reflects the value of its portfolio holdings as of the time of pricing. PACE International Equity Investments, PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities or instruments principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. If a security or instrument is valued at a "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security or instrument. The use of the fair valuation model may result in securities or instruments being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy at reporting period ends. In cases where securities or instruments are traded on more than one exchange, the securities or instruments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM"), the investment manager of the Portfolios.
Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services. Swaps and other OTC derivatives are marked to market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the board.
US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of each Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
256
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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 each Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
In accordance with US GAAP, a fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of each Portfolio's Portfolio of investments .
In January 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-01 ("ASU 2013-01"), "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities", replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 ("ASU 2011-11"), "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities". ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.
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 Portfolio'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. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, swaptions and options written entered into by the Portfolios may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the applicable Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of January 31, 2013 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of January 31, 2013, a Portfolio would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contract and settle any amounts outstanding. The Portfolios are not aware of any additional credit-risk contingent features on other derivative contracts held by the Portfolios (other than those described earlier). The volume of derivatives that is presented in the Portfolio of investments of each Portfolio is consistent with the derivative activity during the six months ended January 31, 2013.

Repurchase agreements—The Portfolios 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 Portfolios maintain 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 Portfolios and their counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily in an effort to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolios generally have 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 Portfolios 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. Each Portfolio (with the exception of PACE Municipal Fixed Income Investments) may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global AM in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to Section 17(d) of the Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder.
Under certain circumstances, the Portfolios 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 Portfolios assessed a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.
Restricted securities—The Portfolios may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included at the end of each Portfolio'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 and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income is recorded net of withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date ("ex-date") (except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Portfolio, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends). Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.
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.
Foreign currency translation—The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in US dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting exchange gains and losses are included on the Statement of operations in net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions.

The Portfolios do not generally isolate the effects of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effects of fluctuations in the market prices of securities. However, the Portfolios do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated debt obligations pursuant to US federal income tax regulations; such amount is categorized as realized foreign currency transaction gain or loss for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Net realized foreign currency transaction gain (loss) is treated as ordinary income (loss) for income tax reporting purposes.
Forward foreign currency contracts—Certain Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") as part of its investment strategy, in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the US dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Portfolios may also engage in cross-hedging by using forward contracts in one currency to hedge fluctuations in the value of securities denominated in a different currency if the applicable investment sub-advisor anticipates that there is a correlation between the two currencies. Forward contracts may also be used to shift a Portfolio's exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another.
The Portfolios have no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be committed to such contracts; however, the value of all forward contracts will not exceed the value of a Portfolio's total assets. The Portfolios may enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to forward contracts only if (1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Portfolios to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the positions being hedged by such contracts or (2) the Portfolios maintain cash or liquid securities in a segregated account in an amount determined pursuant to the Portfolios' segregation policies as disclosed in the Trust's Statement of Additional Information.
Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the US dollar or each other.
Fluctuations in the value of open forward contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts by the Portfolios. Realized gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Portfolios on contracts which have matured.
Securities traded on to-be-announced basis—The Portfolios may from time to time purchase securities on a to-be-announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA transaction, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Portfolio 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.
Option writing—Certain Portfolios 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 a Portfolio writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Portfolio is included on the Portfolio'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 Portfolio has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio has written is exercised, the Portfolio
263
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which the Portfolio has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise of the option.
In writing an option, the Portfolios bear 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 a Portfolio could result in the Portfolio selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.
Purchased options—Certain Portfolios 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 Portfolio pays a premium which is included on the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. Purchased options are shown as portfolio holdings within the Portfolio of investments and are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities in investments in unaffiliated securities, at value.
Futures contracts—Certain Portfolios may purchase or sell futures contracts to increase or reduce their exposure to an asset class without purchasing or selling the underlying securities. They may do this to enhance or realize gains, as a hedge and/or to manage the average duration of the Portfolio. Using futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk as well as the risks that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.
Loan assignments—Certain Portfolios may invest in secured or unsecured fixed or floating rate loans ("Loans") arranged through private negotiations between a borrowing corporation, government or other entity and one or more financial institutions ("Lenders") which may be in the form of participations ("Participations") in Loans or assignments ("Assignments") of all or a portion of Loans from third parties. A Portfolio may invest in multiple series or tranches of a Loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. Participations typically result in a Portfolio having a contractual relationship only with the Lender, not with the borrower. A Portfolio has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the Lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, a Portfolio generally has no direct right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the Loan, or any rights of set-off against the borrower, and a Portfolio may not directly benefit from any collateral supporting the Loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result, a Portfolio assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation. In the event of the insolvency of the selling Lender, the Portfolio may be treated as a general creditor of that Lender and may
264
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
not benefit from any set-off between the Lender and the borrower. A Portfolio will acquire Participations only if its sub-advisor determines that the selling Lender is creditworthy. When a Portfolio purchases Assignments from Lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the Loan. In an Assignment, the Portfolio is entitled to receive payments directly from the borrower and, therefore, does not depend on the selling bank to pass these payments onto the Portfolio. However, because Assignments are arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and assignors, the rights and obligations acquired by a Portfolio as the purchaser of an Assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.
Short sales "Against the Box"—Each Portfolio (other than PACE Money Market Investments and PACE Municipal Fixed Income Investments) may engage in short sales of securities it owns or has the right to acquire at no added cost through conversion or exchange of other securities it owns (short sales "against the box"). To make delivery to the purchaser in a short sale, the executing broker borrows the securities being sold short on behalf of a Portfolio, and that Portfolio is obligated to replace the securities borrowed at a date in the future. When a Portfolio sells short, it establishes a margin account with the broker effecting the short sale and deposits collateral with the broker. In addition, the Portfolio maintains, in a segregated account with its custodian, the securities that could be used to cover the short sale. Each Portfolio may incur transaction costs, including dividend and interest expense, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales "against the box".
A Portfolio might make a short sale "against the box" to hedge against market risks when its sub-advisor believes that the price of a security may decline, thereby causing a decline in the value of a security owned by the Portfolio or a security convertible into or exchangeable for a security owned by the Portfolio. In such case, any loss in the Portfolio's long position after the short sale should be reduced by a corresponding gain in the short position. Conversely, any gain in the long position after the short sale should be reduced by a corresponding loss in the short position. The extent to which gains or losses in the long position are reduced will depend upon the amount of the securities sold short relative to the amount of the securities a Portfolio owns, either directly or indirectly, and in the case where the Portfolio owns convertible securities, changes in the investment values or conversion premiums of such securities.
Uncovered short sales—PACE Government Securities Fixed Income Investments (with respect to securities issued by the US Treasury and TBA securities coupon trades), PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments may engage in short sale transactions in which the Portfolio sells a security it does not own (or does not have the right to acquire at no added cost). The Portfolio must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. In a short sale where a Portfolio is not holding a position in the same security (or convertible into the same security), the Portfolio will maintain an account containing cash or liquid assets at such a level that the amount deposited in the account plus that amount deposited with the broker as collateral will, at minimum, equal the current value of the investment sold short. The initial amount of a short sale is recorded as a liability which is marked to market daily. Fluctuations in the value of this liability are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of operations. A Portfolio incurs transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales. Because PACE Alternative Strategies Investments is multi-managed and has the ability to engage in short sales, one investment advisor may take a short position and another advisor may take a long position in the same security. A Portfolio will be required to pay the buyer for any dividends or other corporate actions and interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends and interest are booked as an expense or liability to the Portfolio on an accrual basis. A Portfolio will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Portfolio replaces the borrowed security, and a Portfolio will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those same dates. Because a Portfolio's loss on a short sale arises from increases in the value of the investment sold short, such loss, like the potential increase in price of the security sold short, is theoretically unlimited. In addition, a Portfolio's investments held long could decline in value at the same time the value of the investment sold short increases, thereby increasing the Portfolio's potential for loss.

Estate Securities Investments did not engage in uncovered short sales during the six months ended January 31, 2013.
Treasury roll transactions—Certain Portfolios may enter into treasury roll transactions. In a treasury roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a Treasury security to a counterparty with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed upon price and date. The Portfolio receives cash from the sale of the Treasury security to use for other investment purposes. For US GAAP purposes, a treasury roll transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing and not as a purchase and sale. The difference between the sale price and repurchase price represents net interest income or net interest expense reflective of an agreed upon rate between the Portfolio and the counterparty over the term of the borrowing. The Portfolio will benefit from the transaction if the income earned on the investment purchased with the cash received in the treasury roll transaction exceeds the interest expense incurred by the Portfolio. If the interest expense exceeds the income earned, the Portfolio's net investment income and dividends to shareholders may be adversely impacted. Treasury roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Portfolio is required to repurchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities. During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the only Portfolios that utilized treasury roll transactions were PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments and PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments.
Reverse repurchase agreements—Certain Portfolios may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with qualified third party banks, securities dealers or their affiliates. Interest on the value of reverse repurchase agreements issued and outstanding is based upon competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time a Portfolio enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, the Portfolio establishes and maintains a segregated account with the Portfolio's custodian containing liquid securities having a value not less than the repurchase price, including accrued interest, of the reverse repurchase agreement. The Portfolios did not enter into any reverse repurchase agreements during the six months ended January 31, 2013.
Swap agreements—Certain Portfolios may enter into interest rate swap agreements. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.
Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap agreement to comply with the terms of the agreement. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment to be received by the Portfolio. Therefore, the Portfolio considers the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.
The Portfolio accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swaps, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap contracts on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swaps within the Statement of operations.
Inflation swap agreements are used to hedge inflation risk by transferring inflation risk from one party to another through an exchange of cash flows. In an inflation swap, one party pays a fixed rate on a notional principal amount while the other party pays a floating rate linked to an inflation index on that same notional amount. The party paying the floating rate pays the inflation adjusted rate multiplied by the notional principal amount. If the average inflation rate over the term of the swap is the same as the fixed rate of the swap, the two legs will have the same value and the swap will break even.

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 Portfolio would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Portfolio would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Portfolio will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Portfolio typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Portfolio would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Portfolio would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no default or credit event occurs, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list of a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of referenced credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name's weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. A Portfolio may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds with a credit default swap on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.
Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to-deliver option (the buyer of protection's right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Portfolio may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Portfolio owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Portfolio as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement which may exceed the amount of the value reflected on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of January 31, 2013 for which a Portfolio is the seller of protection are disclosed under the sections "Credit default swaps on credit indices—sell protection" and "Credit default swaps on corporate and sovereign issues—sell protection" in the Portfolios of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy
267
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by a Portfolio for the same referenced entity or entities.
Total return swap contracts involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transactions exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Portfolio will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.
Variance swap agreements involve two parties agreeing to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a "fixed rate" or strike price payment for the "floating rate" or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price is generally chosen such that the fair value of the swap is zero. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged, where the payoff amount is equivalent to the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. As a receiver of the realized price variance, the Portfolio would receive the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would owe the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price. As a payer of the realized price variance the Portfolio would owe the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price.
Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, such as interest and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Portfolio typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Portfolio's exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Portfolio will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Portfolio would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. Only a limited number of transactions are currently eligible for clearing. Centrally cleared swaps, if any, are reported on the Statement of assets and liabilities based on variation margin received or paid, if any.
The use of swaps involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If a Portfolio's sub-adviser is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Portfolios will 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, a Portfolio's risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Portfolio is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Portfolio 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 amounts of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Concentration of risk—Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the
268
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which PACE International Fixed Income Investments, PACE High Yield Investments, PACE International Equity Investments, PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments are authorized to invest.
Small capitalization ("small cap") companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger capitalization companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in larger capitalization companies. In addition, small cap companies may not be well-known to the investing public, may not have institutional ownership and may have only cyclical, static or moderate growth prospects. These risks are greater with respect to the securities in which PACE Small/Medium Co Value Equity Investments and PACE Small/Medium Co Growth Equity Investments tend to invest.
Investments in bonds with ratings of BB (Standard & Poor's Ratings Group) or Ba (Moody's Investors Service, Inc.) or below (commonly referred to as "high yield" bonds), or deemed of equivalent quality, have an increased risk of defaulting or otherwise being unable to honor a financial obligation. These securities are considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to an issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations. Lower-quality bonds are more likely to be subject to an issuer's default or downgrade than investment grade (higher-quality) bonds.

Securities lending
Each Portfolio 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 Portfolio will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, each Portfolio may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. Each Portfolio receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, US government securities or irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Portfolios' lending agent.
Bank line of credit
Each Portfolio, other than PACE Money Market Investments, 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 each Portfolio at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, each Portfolio has agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the funds in the Committed Credit Facility. Each Portfolio borrows at prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowings. For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the following Portfolios had borrowings as follows:
Portfolio | | Average daily amount of borrowings outstanding | | Days outstanding | | Interest expense | | Weighted average annualized interest rate | |

("UBS Global AM") and Lee Munder Capital LLC ("Lee Munder") (the "Lee Munder Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments (the "Portfolio"). This recommendation was made in conjunction with recommendations to terminate two other firms then serving as sub-advisors to the Portfolio, with Portfolio assets previously allocated to those two firms reallocated to constitute a Portfolio sleeve to be sub-advised by Lee Munder. In considering the approval of the Lee Munder Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios and UBS Global AM. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS Global AM and the investment management and sub-advisory agreements for this and the other portfolios of the Trust, including the extensive materials the board had previously reviewed in connection with the annual reconsideration of the contracts for the portfolios, and noted that it had previously received a memorandum from its independent legal counsel discussing, among other things, the duties of the board members in considering approval of management and sub-advisory agreements. The board also received a memorandum from UBS Global AM discussing UBS Global AM's reasons for recommending Lee Munder as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the Lee Munder Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Lee Munder Sub-Advisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Lee Munder to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. The board considered management's reasons for recommending Lee Munder as an additional sub-advisor to the Portfolio, including its belief that Lee Munder's quantitatively managed strategy will complement the strategies of the two retained sub-advisors by bringing a risk-controlled value momentum bias to the overall Portfolio, improving the overall risk/return characteristics of the Portfolio and providing additional diversification. The board also received materials from Lee Munder detailing its investment philosophy and met with representatives of Lee Munder, who discussed with the board their investment philosophies and process and the backgrounds and qualifications of the portfolio management team. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Portfolio under the proposed Lee Munder Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Sub-Advisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee to be payable by UBS Global AM to Lee Munder in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services anticipated to be provided by Lee Munder. The board noted that the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee was lower than the fees paid by UBS Global AM to the Portfolio's current sub-advisors and would result in a lower overall blended sub-advisory expense for UBS Global AM. The board determined that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the Lee Munder Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Fund performance—The board received and considered composite performance information provided by Lee Munder. The board also noted that, as Lee Munder would be a new sub-advisor to the Portfolio, the current performance of the Portfolio was not a significant factor in the consideration of the approval of the Lee Munder Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Advisor profitability—Profitability of Lee Munder or its affiliates or UBS Global AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio was not a significant factor considered by the board, as the sub-advisory fee would be paid by UBS Global AM out of the management fee paid to it by the Portfolio, and not by the Portfolio. As noted above, the board observed that the fees paid by UBS Global AM to Lee Munder would be lower than the costs currently incurred by the manager. The board indicated that it would further consider this difference, among other matters, when it engages in its next full UBS Global AM management contract review, or before if appropriate.
Economies of scale—The board noted that, as the sub-advisory fee for the Portfolio would be paid by UBS Global AM, not by the Portfolio, consideration of economies of scale with respect specifically to the sub-advisory fee was not relevant.
Other benefits to Lee Munder—The board was informed by management that Lee Munder's relationship with the Portfolio would be limited to its provision of sub-advisory services to the Portfolio and that therefore management believed that Lee Munder would not receive tangible ancillary benefits as a result of its relationship with the Portfolio, with the exception of possible benefits from soft dollars (e.g., research credits related to transaction commissions) for the Portfolio (which would also potentially benefit the Portfolio). The board recognized that Lee Munder could receive intangible benefits from its association with the Portfolio, such as increased name recognition or publicity from being selected as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio after an extensive review process, especially given the small amount of assets currently managed in an emerging markets strategy by Lee Munder. Similarly, the Portfolio could benefit from having a sub-advisor with a well-regarded reputation.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the proposed Lee Munder Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Portfolio. No single factor reviewed by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Lee Munder Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.
J.P. Morgan Investment Management
Background—At the same meeting, the members of the board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and approved a proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global AM and J.P. Morgan Investment Management ("J.P. Morgan") (the "J.P. Morgan Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Large Co Growth Equity Investments (the "Portfolio"). This recommendation was made in conjunction with recommendations to terminate two other firms then serving as sub-advisors to the Portfolio, with Portfolio assets previously allocated to those two firms reallocated (1) to constitute a Portfolio sleeve to be sub-advised by J.P. Morgan and (2) to increase asset weightings allocated to sleeves sub-advised by the two other remaining Portfolio sub-advisors. In considering the approval of the J.P. Morgan Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios and UBS Global AM. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS Global AM and the investment management and sub-advisory agreements for this and the other portfolios of the Trust, including the extensive materials the board had previously reviewed in connection with the annual reconsideration of the contracts for the portfolios, and noted that it had previously received a memorandum from its independent legal counsel discussing, among other things, the duties of the board members in considering approval of management and sub-advisory agreements. The board also received a memorandum from UBS Global AM discussing UBS Global AM's reasons for recommending J.P. Morgan as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the J.P. Morgan Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the J.P. Morgan Sub-Advisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by J.P. Morgan to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge

and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. The board considered management's reasons for recommending J.P. Morgan as an additional sub-advisor to the Portfolio, including its belief that J.P. Morgan's strategy will complement the two retained sub-advisors by bringing a momentum biased growth style to the Portfolio and provide additional diversification. The board also received materials from J.P. Morgan detailing the sub-advisor's investment philosophy and met with representatives of J.P. Morgan, who discussed with the board their investment philosophies and process and the backgrounds and qualifications of the portfolio management team. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Portfolio under the proposed J.P. Morgan Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Sub-Advisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee to be payable by UBS Global AM to J.P. Morgan in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services anticipated to be provided by J.P. Morgan. The board noted that the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee was in line with the sub-advisory fees paid to the Portfolio's current sub-advisors. The board determined that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the J.P. Morgan Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Fund performance—The board received and considered composite performance information provided by J.P. Morgan. The board also noted that, as J.P. Morgan would be a new sub-advisor to the Portfolio, the current performance of the Portfolio was not a significant factor in the consideration of the approval of the J.P. Morgan Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of J.P. Morgan or its affiliates or UBS Global AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio was not a significant factor considered by the board, as the sub-advisory fee would be paid by UBS Global AM out of the management fee paid to it by the Portfolio, and not by the Portfolio.
Economies of scale—The board noted that, as the sub-advisory fee for the Portfolio would be paid by UBS Global AM, not by the Portfolio, consideration of economies of scale with respect specifically to the sub-advisory fee was not relevant.
Other benefits to J.P. Morgan—The board was informed by management that J.P. Morgan's relationship with the Portfolio would be limited to its provision of sub-advisory services to the Portfolio and that therefore management believed that J.P. Morgan would not receive tangible ancillary benefits as a result of its relationship with the Portfolio, with the exception of possible benefits from soft dollars (e.g., research credits related to transaction commissions) for the Portfolio (which would also potentially benefit the Portfolio).

Morgan could receive intangible benefits from its association with the Portfolio, such as increased name recognition or publicity from being selected as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio after an extensive review process.

Roxbury Capital Management LLC
Background—At the same meeting, the members of the board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and approved a proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global AM and Roxbury Capital Management LLC ("Roxbury") (the "Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Large Co Growth Equity Investments

(the "Portfolio"). The board was asked to approve the Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement as Roxbury had agreed to a reduced sub-advisory fee schedule. (It was proposed that the then-effective sub-advisory agreement with Roxbury be replaced by a newer, substantially similar agreement, but with a lower fee schedule.)
In its consideration of the approval of the Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Roxbury to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. The board noted that Roxbury had served as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio since May 2010 and that no terms of the then-current sub-advisory agreement between Roxbury and UBS Global AM, other than the reduction in the sub-advisory fee, and no changes in the services provided by Roxbury to the Portfolio, were being proposed. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Portfolio under the proposed Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Sub-Advisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee to be payable by UBS Global AM to Roxbury in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services anticipated to be provided by Roxbury. The board considered that the compensation to be paid to Roxbury would be paid by UBS Global AM, not the Portfolio, and that, accordingly, the continued retention of Roxbury would not reduce the fees otherwise incurred by the Portfolio's shareholders, but would increase the amount retained by UBS Global AM after payment of the sub-advisory fee. The board determined that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement. While not seeking any immediate change in its agreement with UBS Global AM, the board indicated that it would further consider the change in the sub-advisory fee when it engages in its next full UBS Global AM management contract review, or before if appropriate.
Other factors—Portfolio performance, profitability, economies of scale and other benefits to Roxbury were not factors specifically considered by the board in its approval of the Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement (although the board reviewed Portfolio performance generally, as it does at each regular board meeting), as no changes to the then-current sub-advisory agreement for Roxbury, other than the reduced sub-advisory fee schedule, were being proposed. The board took note that it would review the Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement and Roxbury again at its July 2013 annual contract renewal reconsideration meeting for the Trust and would consider these factors at that time.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the proposed Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Portfolio. No single factor reviewed by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Roxbury Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

November 2012 Board Meeting
Analytic Investors, LLC
Background—At a meeting of the board of the Trust on November 13-14, 2012, the members of the board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and approved a proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global AM and Analytic Investors, LLC ("Analytic") (the "Analytic Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Alternative Strategies Investments (the "Portfolio"). It was necessary for the board to consider the Analytic Sub-Advisory Agreement as a result of an anticipated change of control of Analytic, currently an investment advisor to the Portfolio, that was expected to be consummated prior to the next in-person board meeting; the upcoming change of control would amount to an "assignment" of the current sub-advisory agreement and result in the termination of the sub-advisory agreement in accordance with its terms. The board was advised that the change of control in Analytic was not expected to result in any changes to Analytic's investment philosophy, process or portfolio management personnel, or any material changes to Analytic's management of its portion of the Portfolio. In considering the approval of the Analytic Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios, Analytic and UBS Global AM. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS Global AM and the investment management and sub-advisory agreements for this and the other portfolios of the Trust, including the extensive materials the board had previously reviewed in connection with the annual reconsideration of the contracts for the portfolios, and noted that it had previously received a memorandum from its independent legal counsel discussing, among other things, the duties of the board members in considering approval of management and sub-advisory agreements. The board also received a memorandum from UBS Global AM discussing UBS Global AM's reasons for recommending Analytic as an investment advisor to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the Analytic Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Analytic Sub-Advisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Analytic to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Portfolio by Analytic during prior periods. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Portfolio under the proposed Analytic Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Sub-Advisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee to be payable by UBS Global AM to Analytic in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services anticipated to be provided by Analytic. The board noted that the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee was generally in line with the sub-advisory fees paid by UBS Global AM to the Portfolio's current sub-advisors and identical to the fees payable to Analytic under its current agreement. The board determined that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the Analytic Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Fund performance—The board received and considered performance information, as well as representations concerning anticipated continuity of principal personnel. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the performance of the Portfolio.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of Analytic or its affiliates or UBS Global AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio was not a significant factor considered by the board, as the sub-advisory fee would be paid by UBS Global AM out of the management fee paid to it by the Portfolio, and not by the Portfolio.

Riverbridge Partners, LLC
Background—At the same meeting, the members of the board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and approved a proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global AM and Riverbridge Partners, LLC ("Riverbridge") (the "Riverbridge Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Small/Medium Co Growth Equity Investments (the "Portfolio"). It was necessary for the board to consider the Riverbridge Sub-Advisory Agreement as a result of an anticipated change of control of Riverbridge, currently an investment advisor to the Portfolio, that was expected to be consummated prior to the next in-person board meeting; the upcoming change of control would amount to an "assignment" of the current sub-advisory agreement and result in the termination of the sub-advisory agreement in accordance with its terms. The board was advised that the change of control in Riverbridge was not expected to result in any changes to Riverbridge's investment philosophy, process or portfolio management personnel, or any material changes to Riverbridge's management of its portion of the Portfolio. In considering the approval of the Riverbridge Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios, Riverbridge and UBS Global AM. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS Global AM and the investment management and sub-advisory agreements for this and the other portfolios of the Trust, including the extensive materials the board had previously reviewed in connection with the annual reconsideration of the contracts for the portfolios, and noted that it had previously received a memorandum from its independent legal counsel discussing, among other things, the duties of the board members in considering approval of management and sub-advisory agreements.

First Quadrant L.P.
Background—At the same meeting, the members of the board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and approved a proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global AM and First Quadrant, L.P. ("First Quadrant") (the "First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Alternative Strategies Investments (the "Portfolio"). Management discussed with the board its proposal to terminate Wellington Management Company, LLP ("Wellington") as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio and to reallocate the portion of assets managed by Wellington to First Quadrant, a current sub-advisor to the Portfolio, but with First Quadrant employing a strategy with respect to this particular sleeve of the Portfolio that differed from that applied to the segment of the Portfolio that it already sub-advised. In considering the approval of the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios, First Quadrant and UBS Global AM. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS Global AM and the investment management and sub-advisory agreements for this and the other portfolios of the Trust, including the extensive materials the board had previously reviewed in connection with the annual reconsideration of the contracts for the portfolios, and noted that it had previously received a memorandum from its independent legal counsel discussing, among other things, the duties of the board members in considering approval of management and sub-advisory agreements. The board also

received a memorandum from UBS Global AM discussing UBS Global AM's reasons for recommending the reallocation with respect to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by First Quadrant to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. The board considered management's reasons for recommending the reallocation of assets to First Quadrant, including its belief that the proposed variant of First Quadrant's global macro strategy to be employed with respect to the particular portfolio sleeve to be transitioned from Wellington would provide a more tactical allocation of the Portfolio's assets and the potential for improved management of net market exposure. The board also received materials from First Quadrant detailing its investment philosophy and met with representatives of First Quadrant, who discussed with the board their investment philosophies and process and the backgrounds and qualifications of the portfolio management team. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided to the Portfolio under the proposed First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Sub-Advisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee to be payable by UBS Global AM to First Quadrant in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services anticipated to be provided by First Quadrant. The board noted that the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee was lower than the sub-advisory fee currently charged by Wellington and would result in a lower overall blended sub-advisory expense for UBS Global AM. The board determined that the proposed sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the First Quadrant Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Fund performance—The board received and considered composite performance information from First Quadrant with respect to the proposed new strategy. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the anticipated performance profile, especially in light of other prior experience with First Quadrant.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of First Quadrant or its affiliates or UBS Global AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio was not a significant factor considered by the board, as the sub-advisory fee would be paid by UBS Global AM out of the management fee paid to it by the Portfolio, and not by the Portfolio. As noted above, the board observed that the fees paid by UBS Global AM to First Quadrant would be lower than the costs currently incurred by the manager. The board indicated that it would further consider this difference, among other matters, when it engages in its next full UBS Global AM management contract review, or before if appropriate.

PACE® Money Market Investments
Semiannual Report
January 31, 2013
PACE Money Market Investments
March 15, 2013
Dear Shareholder,
Performance
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio returned 0.01% before the deduction of the maximum PACE program fee. (The Portfolio declined 0.99% after the deduction of the maximum PACE program fee, for the same six-month period.) Please remember that the PACE program fee is assessed outside the Portfolio at the PACE program account level. The program fee does not impact the determination of the Portfolio's net asset value per share. For comparison purposes, the median return of the Lipper Money Market Funds category was 0.01%. (Returns over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 4. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions.)
Advisor's comments
The Portfolio's yield remained low given the Federal Reserve Board's (the "Fed") decision to maintain the federal funds rate at a historically low range, which continued to depress yields on a wide range of short-term investments. (The federal funds rate, or "fed funds" rate, is the rate that banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) As a result, the yields of the securities in which the Portfolio invests remained extremely low. In turn, this kept the Portfolio's yield low.

Investment Advisor:
UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.
Portfolio manager:
Robert Sabatino
Objective:
Current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity.
Investment process:
The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund and seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share, although it may be possible to lose money by investing in this Portfolio. The Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality money market instruments of governmental and private issuers. Security selection is based on the assessment of relative values and changes in market and economic conditions.

PACE Money Market Investments
We tactically adjusted the Portfolio's weighted average maturity (WAM)—which is the average duration of the securities in the Portfolio—throughout the six-month review period. When the reporting period began, the Portfolio had a WAM of 31 days. While there were concerns regarding the ongoing challenges in Europe, they were overshadowed by the Fed's third round of quantitative easing ("QE3"). Thus, in anticipation of the further downward pressure we expected QE3 to exert on short-term interest rates, we significantly increased the Fund's WAM in September 2012, and ended the reporting period with a WAM of 50 days.
At the issuer level, we maintained a high level of diversification, investing in smaller positions with the goal of reducing risk and keeping the Portfolio highly liquid. To that end, we typically purchased up to 3% in single nongovernment issuers throughout the reporting period. (The Portfolio is generally able to hold up to 5% in any one issuer, subject to certain exceptions.)
Several adjustments were made to the Portfolio's sector positioning during the six-month period. We increased the Portfolio's exposures to certificates of deposit, US government and agency obligations and commercial paper. Conversely, we reduced our allocations to repurchase agreements and, to a lesser extent, short-term corporate obligations. (Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the seller of a security agrees to buy it back at a predetermined time and price or upon demand.)

1 The maximum annual PACE program fee is 2% of the value of PACE assets.

Past performance does not predict future performance and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions. The return of an investment will fluctuate. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the payable dates. Total returns for the period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Understanding your Portfolio's expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) on-going program fees; and (2) ongoing Portfolio costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, August 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013.
Actual expenses
The first line 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 under the heading "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate your actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Understanding your Portfolio's expenses (unaudited) (concluded)
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any program fees. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Portfolio costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if program fees were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning account value August 1, 2012 | | Ending account value January 31, 2013 | | Expenses paid during period1 08/01/12 to 01/31/13 | | Expense ratio during the period | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.10 | | | $ | 1.06 | | | | 0.21 | % | |
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,024.15 | | | | 1.07 | | | | 0.21 | | |
1 Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Organization and significant accounting policies
PACE Money Market Investments (the "Portfolio") is a diversified portfolio of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust"), which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware by Certificate of Trust dated September 9, 1994, as amended June 9, 1995 and thereafter, and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The trustees of the Trust have authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share.
The Trust has fifteen Portfolios available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. Shares of the Portfolio currently are available only to participants in the PACESM Select Advisors Program and the PACESM Multi Advisor Program.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Portfolio. Expenses directly attributable to each Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio's operations; expenses which are applicable to all Portfolios are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The Portfolio attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share; the Portfolio has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend/distribution policies in an attempt to enable it to do so. As with any money market fund, there is no assurance, however, that the Portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Valuation of investments—investments are valued at amortized cost. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of the securities held by the Portfolio is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.
US GAAP requires disclosure surrounding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Portfolio'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 Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
In accordance with the requirements of US GAAP, a fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of the Portfolio's Statement of net assets.
In January 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-01 ("ASU 2013-01"), "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities", replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 ("ASU 2011-11"), "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities". ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
21
PACE Money Market Investments
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.
Repurchase agreements—The Portfolio may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Portfolio maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Portfolio and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily in an effort to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolio generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds, 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 Portfolio may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The Portfolio may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM").

PACE Money Market Investments
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Under certain circumstances, the Portfolio 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 Portfolio assessed a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.
Investment transactions and investment income—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. 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.
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 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—The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Portfolio to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.
Investment management and administration fees and other transactions with affiliates—The Portfolio's Board of Trustees has approved an investment management and administration contract ("Management Contract") with UBS Global AM. In accordance with the Management Contract, the Portfolio pays UBS Global AM an investment management and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. At January 31, 2013, the Portfolio is owed $97,775

from UBS Global AM, representing investment management and administration fees net of fee waivers/expense reimbursements.
UBS Global AM has contractually undertaken to waive a portion of the Portfolio's investment management and administration fees and/or reimburse a portion of the Portfolio's other expenses, when necessary, to maintain the total ordinary annual operating expenses (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expense, if any) through November 30, 2013 at a level not to exceed 0.60%. The Portfolio will make a payment to UBS Global AM for any previously waived fees/reimbursed expenses during the following three fiscal years to the extent that operating expenses are otherwise below the expense cap.
At January 31, 2013, the Portfolio had remaining fee waivers/expense reimbursements subject to repayment to UBS Global AM and respective dates of expiration as follows:
Fee waivers/expense reimbursements subject to repayment | | Expires July 31, 2013 | | Expires July 31, 2014 | | Expires July 31, 2015 | | Expires July 31, 2016 | |
$ | 3,941,651 | | | $ | 1,262,723 | | | $ | 996,232 | | | $ | 1,175,570 | | | $ | 507,126 | | |
Additionally, UBS Global AM may voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses from time to time in the event that the Portfolio's yield falls below a certain level. Once started, there is no guarantee that UBS Global AM would continue to voluntarily waive an additional portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses. This management fee waiver will not be subject to future recoupment. For the six months ended January 31, 2013, UBS Global AM voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed expenses of $667,494 for that purpose.
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, UBS Global AM waived fees/reimbursed expenses, in total, of $1,174,620.

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 Portfolio may conduct transactions, resulting in him being an interested trustee of the Portfolio. The Portfolio has been informed that Professor Feldberg's role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Portfolio transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm's ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley, having an aggregate value of $46,811,665. 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 Portfolio's investment manager, it is believed that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.
Transfer agency and related services fees
UBS Financial Services Inc. provides certain services to the Portfolio pursuant to a delegation of authority from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. ("BNY Mellon"), the Portfolio's transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by BNY Mellon, not the Portfolio.
For the six months ended January 31, 2013, UBS Financial Services Inc. received from BNY Mellon, not the Portfolio, $356,889 of the total transfer agency and related service fees paid by the Portfolio to BNY Mellon.
Securities lending
The Portfolio 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
25
PACE Money Market Investments
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Portfolio will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Portfolio may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Portfolio receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, US government securities or irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Portfolio's lending agent. At January 31, 2013, the Portfolio did not have any securities on loan.

Federal tax status
The Portfolio intends to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Portfolio intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Portfolio during the six months ended January 31, 2013 and the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012 was ordinary income.
The components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Portfolio's fiscal year ending July 31, 2013.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized by the Portfolio after December 31, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short term and/or long term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
27
PACE Money Market Investments
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
At July 31, 2012, the Portfolio had post-enactment short-term capital loss carryforwards of $140 and the following pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards through the indicated expiration dates for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains:
| | Expiration dates | | | |
Portfolio | | July 31, 2018 | | July 31, 2019 | | Total | |
PACE Money Market Investments | | $ | 94 | | | $ | 23 | | | $ | 117 | | |
As of and during the period ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Portfolio recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Portfolio did not incur any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended July 31, 2012, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
