PACE Select Advisors Trust
Introduction
September 18, 2015
Dear PACE Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with the annual 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 12 months ended July 31, 2015. Please note that the opinions of the sub-advisors do not necessarily represent those of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Portfolios' investment advisor.
Global growth generally improves
Growth in the US fluctuated during the reporting period. The US Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") expanded at a 4.3% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the third quarter of 2014. GDP growth then moderated to 2.1% during the fourth quarter and 0.6% for the first quarter of 2015. However, the US economy then improved, as the Commerce Department's second estimate for second quarter GDP was 3.7%.1
The US Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") largely maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the reporting period, and continued to hold the fed funds rate at a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%. (The federal funds rate or the "fed funds rate," is the rate US banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis.) However, at its March 2015 meeting, the Fed said that it "... anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate when it has seen further improvement in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2% objective over the medium term." Finally, at the central bank's meeting that concluded in June 2015, the Fed said that it "...currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run."
In terms of the global economy, the International Monetary Fund's ("IMF") July 2015 World Economic Outlook Update said "A setback to activity in the first quarter of 2015, mostly in North America, has resulted in a small downward revision to global growth for 2015 relative to the April 2015 World Economic Outlook. Nevertheless, the underlying drivers for a gradual acceleration in economic activity in advanced economies—easy financial conditions, more neutral fiscal policy in the euro area, lower fuel prices, and improving confidence and labor market conditions—remain intact." The IMF projects that 2015 growth in the eurozone will be 1.5%, versus 0.8% in 2014. Japan's economy is expected to expand 0.8% in 2015, an improvement from the 0.1% contraction in 2014. In contrast, the IMF sees growth in emerging market countries decelerating in 2015, with GDP of 4.2% compared to 4.6% in 2014.
US equities post superior results
While it experienced several setbacks, the US equity market generated strong results during the reporting period. Investor sentiment was challenged at times given some mixed global economic data and corporate profit figures, as well as numerous geopolitical issues. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 11.21% for the 12 months ended July 31, 2015. In contrast, international equities produced weak results, as they were dragged down by growth concerns, fluctuating oil prices and the crisis in Greece. International developed

market equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 fell 0.27% during the period. Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 declined 13.38% over the same period.
Mixed returns in the fixed income market
The global fixed income market was also volatile at times during the reporting period. This was triggered by incoming economic data, uncertainties surrounding future monetary policy and—as was the case for the equity market—unfolding geopolitical events. Against this backdrop, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury fell from 2.58% to 2.20% during the reporting period, and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 gained 2.82%. Riskier fixed income securities generated weaker results for the 12 months ended July 31, 2015. High yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index6 returned 0.22%, whereas emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 declined 1.28%.

This report is intended to assist investors in understanding how the Portfolios performed during the 12-month period ended July 31, 2015. The views expressed in the Advisor's and Sub-Advisors' comments sections are as of the end of the reporting period, reflect performance results gross of fees and expenses, and are those of the investment advisor (with respect to PACE Money Market Investments only) and sub-advisors. 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 September 18, 2015. They are not guarantees of future performance or investment results and should not be taken as investment advice. Investment decisions reflect a variety of factors, and the investment advisor and sub-advisors reserve the right to change their views about individual securities, sectors and markets at any time. As a result, the views expressed should not be relied upon as a forecast of a Portfolio's future investment intent.
3 The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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.
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 publicly placed, non-convertible, coupon-bearing US dollar-denominated, below investment grade corporate debt with a term to maturity of at least one year. The index is market-capitalization-weighted, so that larger bond issuers have a greater effect on the index's return. However, the representation of any single bond issuer 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.

PACE Select Advisors Trust
PACE Money Market Investments
On September 22, 2015, the Portfolio's Board of Trustees ("the Board") approved a new policy on behalf of the Portfolio to invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash or government securities to allow the Portfolio to qualify as a government money market fund, as defined under the amended Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, the Board approved changing the Portfolio's name to PACE Government Money Market Investments to ensure that the Portfolio is understood to be a government money market fund. In connection with the change to the Portfolio's name, the Portfolio also will adopt a non-fundamental investment policy that the Portfolio invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in government securities, including government securities subject to repurchase agreements. The changes are expected to become effective on or about November 28, 2015.
Performance (unaudited)
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolio returned 0.01% before the deduction of the maximum PACE program fee.1 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 or the redemption of Portfolio shares.) For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the period, please refer to page 2.
Advisor's Comments
Throughout the reporting period, the US Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") continued to hold the federal funds rate at a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%. The federal funds rate, or the "fed funds rate," is the rate US banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis. (For more details on the Fed's actions, see page 2.) This continued to depress yields on a wide range of short-term investments. As a result, the Portfolio's yield remained low during the reporting period.
We tactically adjusted the Portfolio's weighted average maturity ("WAM") throughout the 12-month review period. When the reporting period began, the Portfolio had a WAM of 40 days. This was decreased to 38 days at the end of the reporting period.

1 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

Sub-advisor's comments – concluded
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 12-month period. We increased the Portfolio's exposures to repurchase agreements, US government and agency obligations and certificates of deposit. Conversely, we reduced our allocation to commercial paper and modestly pared our exposure to 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 (unaudited)
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolio's Class P shares gained 3.04% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Barclays US Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (the "benchmark") rose 3.54%, and the Lipper US Mortgage Funds category posted a median return of 3.24%.3 (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 comments2
(Please note that while the sub-advisor outperformed the benchmark on a gross-of-fees basis, the Portfolio underperformed net of fees, as reported in the "Performance at a glance" table. As stated in footnote two, the comments that follow address performance on a gross-of-fees basis.)
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. Positioning within the agency mortgage-backed security ("MBS") sector was neutral to modestly positive for performance. An overall underweight to agency MBS contributed to results as they lagged like-duration Treasuries. However, less exposure to lower coupon Freddie Mac ("FHLMC") and Fannie Mae ("FNMA") mortgages during the first half of the period detracted from returns, as these securities outperformed higher coupons given elevated prepayment concerns. An underweight to 15-year conventional FNMA and FHLMC securities detracted from returns, as they outperformed the broader market and like-duration Treasuries. Additionally, an underweight to Ginnie Mae ("GNMA") bonds for most of the period contributed to results as they underperformed FHLMC and FNMA mortgages.
An allocation to non-agency MBS contributed to results as prices on selected securities rose amid strong demand and continued limited supply.
1 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
2 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 Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed
Income Investments
Investment Sub-Advisor:
Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO")
Portfolio Managers:
Daniel Hyman and Michael Cudzil
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 +/- 50% of the effective duration of the Portfolio's benchmark index.3 (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
An underweight to US duration detracted from performance as the yield on the 10-year US Treasury fell 38 basis points (0.38%). (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.)
Overall, derivative usage was positive during the reporting period, primarily due to income generated from selling mortgage pool options as a way to manage interest rate and volatility risk within the sector. This was partially offset by negative price action of synthetic interest-only agency MBS that were traded as total return swaps. The Portfolio also used interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures, as well as to substitute for physical securities. Additionally, options on swaps were used to manage interest rate and volatility exposures, as well as to generate income in expected interest rate scenarios. Government futures were utilized to adjust interest rate exposures and replicate government bond positions.
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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.07% and 0.97%; Class C—1.59% and 1.47%; Class Y—0.87% and 0.72%; and Class P—0.90% 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, 2015 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, 2015 (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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
5 The Barclays US Mortgage-Backed Securities Index is an unmanaged index which primarily covers the mortgage-backed pass-through securities issued by Ginnie Mae (formally known as the 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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

High prepayments return principal faster than expected and cause the yield to increase. Low prepayments return principal more slowly than expected and cause the yield to decrease.
8 Interest Only Securities. These securities entitle 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 (unaudited)
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolio's Class P shares gained 1.90% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Barclays US Intermediate Government/Credit Index (the "benchmark") rose 2.27%, and the Lipper Core Bond Funds category posted a median return of 1.99%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 32. 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-advisors' comments2
(Please note that while the sub-advisors outperformed the benchmark on a gross-of-fees basis, the Portfolio underperformed net of fees, as reported in the "Performance at a glance" table. As stated in footnote two, the comments that follow address performance on a gross of fees basis.)
Blackrock
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. The largest contributor to returns was our allocation to high yield corporate bonds. We maintained this allocation throughout the reporting period, using a mix of bottom-up issuer selection, alongside broad-based sector hedging by way of credit index derivatives. Other major contributors to performance included our non-US dollar exposures and allocations to securitized assets. Non-US dollar exposures included positioning around the increasing value of the US dollar, mostly against European currencies (i.e. the euro and the Swiss franc). This was beneficial given heightened volatility in European interest rates and changes to peripheral spreads due to the ongoing Greek debt crisis. Securitized assets performed well during the reporting period as they were largely insulated from global growth concerns and heightened headline risk, which pushed credit spreads generally wider. Investment grade corporate bond security selection also supported returns as reflected in our preference for financials over industrials, due to our positive outlook for subordinated bank debt. Our early decision to be underweight energy and commodities-related sectors also proved to be beneficial.

Objective:
Current income, consistent with reasonable stability of principal
Investment process:
BlackRock 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 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 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
2 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 – continued
Detracting from performance was our allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS"). Our underweight duration positioning for most of the fiscal year was also negative for results. The sharp decline in oil prices and subsequent drop in interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2014 was the main driver of the negative impact.
A number of derivatives instruments were used during the reporting period, primarily to adjust our duration and curve exposure, as well as to hedge risk. We believe that derivatives are beneficial for performance as they help us manage our portion of the Portfolio more efficiently. Interest rate swaps are the most common type of swap, and they were useful in managing exposure to interest rates by adding duration or subtracting it at particular points on the yield curve. Credit default swaps were used to provide insurance or protection against a particular issuer or basket of issuers defaulting and were also used as a way to express a negative or positive view on an issuer's or group of issuers' credit strength. Options on interest rate swaps (swaptions) were used to hedge convexity, as well as take a view on volatility and interest rates. Options on futures were most often used to take a view on volatility and/or interest rates. Foreign exchange options were used to give us the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) a currency at a specified price for a specified period of time. Foreign exchange forwards were typically used to hedge non-US dollar currency risk back to the US dollar, as well as to implement active currency positions.
Babson Capital Management
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. The 12-month period has been characterized by persistent but restrained volatility. Spreads over Treasury bonds have widened due to slow economic activity globally in the US, along with a sell-off in commodities and related sectors. Despite bouts of volatility, our portion of the Portfolio performed relatively well during the reporting period. The primary contributor to performance was an underweight to Treasuries. Investment grade corporate bonds also contributed to results, particularly financials, such as our holdings in the banking sector. Due to a more aggressive regulatory environment, banks are continuing to improve their capital levels, and we have invested down the capital structure. Our positions in the consumer products sector was the largest detractor from results within the investment grade corporate bond market.
Our positioning within the securitized sector benefited performance overall. In particular, the headwind from non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") was more than offset by gains from commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") and consumer asset-backed securities ("ABS"). RMBS lagged the benchmark and detracted from performance. We continue to have an active exposure to this sector, although we remain more selective with our purchases. New issue supply has been strong in the ABS sector, with good demand for these securities. ABS deals backed by equipment or railcar leases were the best performing sub-sector. We added to the
Investment process (concluded)
Babson seeks to invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of short-term fixed income securities through an investment process that consists of a top-down, macroeconomic view, coupled with a bottom-up perspective driven by rigorous fundamental credit analysis. Babson seeks to add value through security selection, sector rotation, convexity biases and yield curve positioning. Finally, Babson employs a quantitative rules-based approach to manage duration, which involves limiting the portfolio duration to a range of 0-3 years, driven by the dynamics and shape of the yield curve.

Sub-advisor's comments – concluded
collateralized mortgage obligation ("CMO") agency sector during the reporting period, as these securities offered attractive pricing and more stable duration characteristics relative to agency mortgage-backed securities. Finally, we benefited from yield curve positioning and exposure to maturities of three and five years, taking advantage of the steepness of the yield curve.
Our portion of the Portfolio used derivative instruments for yield curve, duration and credit risk management. We used Treasury futures for duration management and CMBS credit default swaps to gain exposure to BBB-rated commercial mortgage backed securities. Over the reporting period, performance from Treasury futures contributed to performance, and our position in CMBS credit default swaps resulted in almost neutral performance.
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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.03% and 0.93%; Class C—1.52% and 1.43%; Class Y—1.05% and 0.68%; and Class P—0.82% 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, 2015 (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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Performance (unaudited)
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolio's Class P shares gained 2.91% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Barclays US Government/Credit Index (the "benchmark") rose 2.55% and the Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds category posted a median return of 2.01%.2 (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 58. 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' comments3
Please note: On January 20, 2015, Neuberger Berman began serving as a sub-advisor for this Portfolio.
PIMCO
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. An underweight to corporate bonds was positive for results. The sector lagged like-duration Treasuries as it was negatively impacted by the sell-off in oil, concerns over Greece and heavy primary market supply. Our returns were also helped by positive security selection within the high yield corporate bond market, as we focused on securities issued by financial and industrial companies.
Positive security selection within agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and an allocation to non-agency MBS contributed to returns. However, an allocation to US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") detracted from performance, as inflation expectations declined during the reporting period. Lastly, we benefited from our long US dollar position against the euro and yen, as the latter two depreciated in value.
An underweight to US duration was negative for performance, as the yield on the 10-year US Treasury fell 38 basis points (0.38%). (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) Additionally, short exposure to the long end of the yield curve was negative for performance as long rates fell more than short and intermediate rates. European interest rate

Investment process:
PIMCO 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 +/- 50% 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 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
2 Barclays US Government Credit Index, as calculated by the investment advisor, which as of July, 31, 2015 had a duration of approximately 6.17 years.

Sub-advisor's comments – concluded
strategies were negative for results as well. Tactical interest rate positioning within European core rates was a headwind for returns as yields fell during the first half of the reporting period and rose sharply during the second half. This was partially offset by an allocation to European peripherals, especially Spain and Italy, as yields in these regions moved lower.
Overall, derivative usage was positive during the reporting period, primarily due to income generated from selling interest rate and currency options. Additionally, the use of interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures, as well as to substitute for physical securities, was positive for performance as swap spreads tightened. Credit default swaps were utilized to manage credit exposure in lieu of the direct buying or selling of securities. Options and options on swaps were primarily used to manage interest rate and volatility exposures, but they were also used to generate income in expected interest rate scenarios. Currency options and forwards were used to gain exposure to foreign currency markets. Finally, government futures were utilized to adjust interest rate exposures and replicate government bond positions.
Neuberger Berman
We managed a portion of the Portfolio from January 20, 2015 to July 31, 2015. The reporting period began by actively transitioning the assets received in-kind, with an emphasis on diversified exposure to the spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) versus US Treasury securities. During the reporting period as a whole, our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark. This was largely driven by our defensive duration positioning. In particular, having a duration that was shorter than the benchmark was rewarded as interest rates moved higher across the curve. This positive was modestly offset by our yield curve positioning.
Other contributors to performance included security selection of investment grade corporate bonds, an overweight to non-agency MBS, agency MBS, high yield corporate bonds and emerging markets debt. An overweight to TIPS was also slightly positive for performance. In contrast, an overweight to investment grade corporate bonds detracted from results. Transaction costs, mostly associated with the ramp up of our portion of the Portfolio, were also a drag on performance.
During the reporting period, currency forwards and futures, as well as Treasury futures, were used to manage interest rate risk and shorten our overall portfolio duration relative to the benchmark. The use of these instruments was beneficial for performance.
Investment process (concluded)
Neuberger Berman employs a consistently applied, risk-managed approach to portfolio management that leverages its proprietary fundamental research capabilities, decision-making frameworks, and quantitative risk management tools. Neuberger Berman establishes the investment profile for its portion of the Portfolio's assets, which it monitors on an ongoing basis, including exposures to sectors and duration/yield curve positioning, utilizing internally generated data that are produced by specialty sector investment teams in conjunction with asset allocation tools. Once the investment profile is established, Neuberger Berman determines industry/sub-sector weightings and makes securities selections.
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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.06% and 1.06%; Class C—1.53% and 1.53%; Class Y—0.93% and 0.81%; and Class P—0.80% and 0.80%. 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, 2015 (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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Performance (unaudited)
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolio's Class P shares gained 2.39% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Barclays US Municipal 3-15 Year Blend Index (the "benchmark") rose 2.87%, and the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted a median return of 2.15%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 90. 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 comments2
(Please note that while the sub-advisor outperformed the benchmark on a gross-of-fees basis, the Portfolio underperformed net of fees, as reported in the "Performance at a glance" table. As stated in footnote two, the comments that follow address performance on a gross-of-fees basis.)
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. The primary drivers of performance were positive contributions from both sector allocation and security selection. Our interest rate strategy produced mixed results, as a favorable yield curve allocation was mitigated by the negative impact from having a modestly long duration posture.
From a sector standpoint, our preference for revenue bonds contributed to results. Amid an environment of relatively low volatility and tightening credit spreads, tactical sector positioning toward a more defensive stance was additive to performance. In particular, an emphasis on some of the more liquid, higher grade revenue sectors, such as essential service water/sewer and special tax bonds was rewarded. A mitigating factor was being overweight education bonds as they lagged the benchmark amid heavy issuance. Security selection was favorable for returns, led by modest exposure to Detroit sewer revenue bonds that were secured by dedicated income streams covering a large and diverse geographic region. Limited exposure to lower yielding and shorter maturity pre-refunded bonds was also beneficial for results given their underperformance versus the benchmark.

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 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
2 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 municipal credit conditions continued to be strong, as state and local tax revenues showed steady growth and state net tax-supported debt declined. Credit headlines were dominated, however, by negative news from Puerto Rico and Chicago, both situations that we view as not systemic to the broader municipal market. The Portfolio benefited from removing exposure to general obligation credits with higher debt and pension liabilities, such as Illinois, New Jersey and Chicago, given our expectations for rating and price downside. Maintaining a higher quality bias with underweight exposure to A-rated and BBB-rated bonds, which performed well versus the higher grade AA-rated and AAA-rated segments, was a modest detractor from performance.
Our interest rate strategy results were mixed during the reporting period. Our duration posture was slightly longer than the benchmark which hurt returns as shorter maturity interest rates drifted higher amid relatively heavy supply and growing expectations of Federal Reserve Board rate hikes. From a yield curve perspective, we focused new purchases on the 10- to-15-year maturity range driving a modest overweight in this portion of the yield curve. This proved to be positive as this area performed well versus shorter maturity bonds. Maintaining a yield or income advantage versus the benchmark, helped by heavier exposure to longer bonds, was also key a driver of performance.
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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—0.92% and 0.90%; Class C—1.43% and 1.40%; Class Y—0.72% and 0.65%; and Class P—0.68% 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, 2015 (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) could 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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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 (unaudited)
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolio's Class P shares declined 4.99% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Barclays Global Aggregate ex US Index (the "benchmark") fell 12.13%, the Barclays Global Aggregate ex USD 50% Hedged Index declined 4.11% and the Lipper International Income Funds category posted a median return of -8.61%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 102. 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 comments2
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. Over the period, the investment environment for developed market sovereign bonds was generally favorable, as lackluster global growth, particularly in emerging market economies, put downward pressure on commodity prices and inflation expectations. Most central banks remained very accommodative and further eased monetary policy in many jurisdictions during the fourth quarter of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. Most notable was the European Central Bank, which embarked on a program of quantitative easing in January 2015.
Against this backdrop, the Portfolio's return was negatively impacted by the bias to be underweight duration over some of the reporting period. In relative value terms, an overweight to peripheral European bonds contributed to returns overall. The only exception was during the second quarter of 2015, when uncertainties regarding Greece's debt repayments and likelihood of default put pressure on Italian and Spanish bonds.
In currencies, our long US dollar bias was rewarded as the US economy experienced relatively stronger growth than other regions. The US dollar was particularly attractive given a sharp decline in many emerging market and commodity exporting economies. Within credit, our preference to own financials over industrial securities was positive for performance.

Rogge Global Partners plc ("Rogge Global Partners")
Portfolio Managers:
Olaf Rogge, John Graham, Malie Conway, David Jacob and Jonathan Griggs
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 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 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
2 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 utilized derivatives in the Portfolio, mainly interest rate futures and forward foreign exchange contracts. This allowed the Portfolio to take positions in various government bond markets, hedge interest rate exposure and take long and short positions in currencies. Overall, the use of derivatives was beneficial to the Portfolio during the reporting period.
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.

The following graph depicts the performance of PACE International Fixed Income Investments Class P shares versus the Barclays Global Aggregate ex US Index and the Barclays Global Aggregate ex USD 50% Hedged Index over the 10 years ended July 31, 2015. Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance. The performance of the other classes will vary based upon the different class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption. It is important to note that PACE International Fixed Income Investments is a professionally managed portfolio while the Indices are not available for investment and are unmanaged.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.28% and 1.22%; Class C—1.76% and 1.70%; Class Y—1.07% and 1.00%; and Class P—1.10% 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, 2015 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, 2015 (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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
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 dollar denominated debt market. The two major components of this Index are the Pan-European Aggregate and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Indices.

Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
6 The Barclays Global Aggregate ex USD 50% Hedged Index, is an index which provides a broad-based measure of the global investment grade fixed income markets excluding US dollar-denominated debt and provides 50% of its currency exposure in the US dollar. The other major currency exposures in this index are the Euro, the Japanese yen and, to a lesser extent, the British pound and the Canadian dollar. The two major components of this index are the Pan-European Aggregate and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate indices. The index also includes Canadian, Euro-yen, and other non-USD-denominated investment grade aggregate index eligible securities not already in the indices already noted. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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 (unaudited)
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolio's Class P shares declined 2.14% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Index (Hedged in USD) (the "benchmark") gained 0.73%, and the Lipper High Yield Funds category posted a median return of 0.07%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 115. 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 comments2
Please note: MacKay Shields was terminated as a sub-advisor for the Portfolio effective as of the close of business on June 30, 2015. On July 1, 2015, Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management began serving as a sub-advisor for this Portfolio.
MacKay Shields
For the period from August 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, when MacKay Shields subadvised the Portfolio, we underperformed the benchmark. Our positioning emphasized credit risk and deemphasized interest rate risk. From a regional standpoint, we maintained an overweight position in US high yield and held underweight positions in European high yield and emerging markets high yield corporate securities. In terms of sectors, our exposure to automotive was helpful, particularly Fiat and Ford. Security selection within banking, primarily non-US dollar financials, also proved beneficial.
Conversely, our underweight to Russian issuers hindered returns. During the first quarter of 2015, Russian debt was downgraded to high yield and many Russian issuers entered the benchmark. On the whole, Russian issuers rose over 21% during the first half of 2015, as compared to a 3.3% rise in the benchmark. In addition, our exposure to several energy and metals & mining companies, including Samson, Arch Coal and Alpha Natural Resources, weighed on performance and were sold prior to the end of the reporting period.

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.
NCRAM seeks to capture the global high yield bond market's attractive total returns
1 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
2 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
issuer-specific risk in certain developing market holdings detracted from returns. Leading detractors included Virgolino, one of Brazil's oldest and largest sugar and ethanol producers, and OAS, a Brazilian engineering and infrastructure company. Virgolino and OAS were sold prior to the end of the reporting period.
We maintained a shorter duration posture than the benchmark through the use of US Treasury futures. This position had a negative impact on performance. As the carry cost of the futures position increased, we slightly pared back this exposure. Currency forwards were used during the reporting period to hedge the currency exposure of our portion of the Portfolio into US dollars.
Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management
We began managing the Portfolio on July 1, 2015. From that day through July 31, 2015, we outperformed the benchmark. We increased our exposure to European high yield debt to roughly the market weight to reflect positive credit trends in that region. We reduced our overweight to US high yield debt and maintained an underweight to emerging markets high yield debt. From a sector perspective, an underweight and positive security selection in energy, and exploration and production contributed to results. Negative credit selection in the banking, steel producers, and oilfield equipment and services sectors were the largest detractors from performance, from an issuer perspective. In contrast, Linn Energy and AK Steel detracted the most from performance as oil and other commodity prices remained under pressure.
Except for the purpose of currency hedging, derivatives were not used in the portfolio during the reporting period.
Investment process (concluded)
while minimizing losses by identifying "Strong Horse" companies that can carry their debt load through the economic cycle. NCRAM invests in the debt of such companies to seek yield and capital appreciation while managing the overall risk of the portfolio.
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.

Illustration of an assumed investment of $10,000 in Class P shares of the Portfolio (unaudited)
The following graph depicts the performance of PACE High Yield Investments Class P shares versus the BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Index (Hedged in USD) from April 30, 2006, which is the month-end after the inception date of the Class P shares, through July 31, 2015. Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance. The performance of the other classes will vary based upon the different class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption. It is important to note that PACE High Yield Investments is a professionally managed portfolio while the Index is not available for investment and is unmanaged. The comparison is shown for illustration purposes only.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.26% and 1.26%; Class C—1.72% and 1.72%; Class Y—1.00% and 1.00%; and Class P—1.10% 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 through November 30, 2015 (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 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 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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance
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$100 million, 50 million pounds sterling or 100 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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

ICAP
During the period when we managed a portion of the Portfolio from August 1, 2014 through February 3, 2015, we modestly outperformed the benchmark. Stock selection in the health care sector contributed to performance, led by strong returns from Valeant Pharmaceutical, UnitedHealth Group and Medtronic. In the capital goods sector, Boeing outperformed the benchmark. Elsewhere, an underweight to the energy sector was additive for relative performance.
Stock selection in the consumer services sector detracted from results, as Viacom underperformed. Stock selection in the energy sector was also negative as Halliburton and Cameron International underperformed. We exited our position in Halliburton prior to the end of the reporting period. Finally, underweights to the utilities and retail sectors detracted from relative results.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Our portion of the Portfolio modestly outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Our best performing holdings were in the health care, materials & processing, and financial services sectors. Cigna, a leader in managed care, was our largest contributor to results, as its earnings improved and the company received a buyout offer from Anthem. In the materials & processing sector, shares of building product company Masco Corp. strengthened due to strong results fueled by improvement in residential construction. A lack of exposure to agriculture and mining-related stocks also helped our performance. In financials, insurers Axis Capital Holdings, American International Group ("AIG") and Voya Financial, as well as money center banks Citigroup and Bank of America, were top contributors, as the prospect of rising interest rates propelled the entire group higher. AIG also benefited from a favorable litigation outcome. Another notable contributor to performance was Staples, Inc., which advanced as investors applauded its planned merger with Office Depot. On the downside, our energy holdings were the weakest performers as oil prices plunged. Elsewhere, our technology holdings suffered due to challenging foreign exchange rates and a slowdown in enterprise spending. Our portion of the Portfolio lacked exposure to the consumer staples sector, where we are not finding value. This was not rewarded, as investors bid up the sector in pursuit of earnings stability and dividend yield.
Our portion of the Portfolio continues to be skewed toward economically sensitive sectors where valuations are the most attractive, in our view. Our largest weights are in the financial services, energy, consumer discretionary and technology sectors. Exposure to the financial sector increased as valuations improved and given our purchase of Regions Financial. Our exposure to producer durables also rose, as we purchased Stanley Black and Decker. These were offset by reductions in the technology and health care sectors as TE Connectivity and Becton Dickinson were sold as they reached our estimate of fair value.
We view the US market as being fully valued, yet with areas of opportunity that we are able to exploit. The first is where both earnings and valuations are depressed, with the financial sector the most prominent. Here we see a path to earnings normalization through higher interest rates, a recovery in trading activity and rationalization of the expense structure. Advertising is another example. Volumes are below trend but they should normalize as the US economy gains momentum and Europe recovers. Mature technology companies are an example of where earnings are not depressed, but where

its target price is achieved, the catalyst becomes inoperative, or ICAP identifies another stock with greater opportunity for appreciation.
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.
Robeco invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of issuers identified as having attractive value characteristics with strong fundamentals and positive business momentum. Robeco establishes a sell discipline for each security in the portfolio based on its target price, and may also sell a security if business fundamentals weaken or if an expected catalyst fails to materialize. The short side of the portfolio is selected by identifying the contra-characteristics that we look for on the long portfolio and covering a short if the stock reaches its fair value or there is a positive change in fundamentals or business momentum.
Los Angeles Capital employs a "long/short" or "130/30" equity strategy. Los Angeles Capital buys securities "long" that it believes will outperform the market or decrease portfolio risk, and sells securities "short" that it believes will underperform the market. Los Angeles Capital uses a proprietary quantitative model that includes fundamental data inputs for a universe of equity securities and, through the use of statistical tools, estimates expected returns based on each security's risk characteristics and the

valuations reflect uncertainty about sustainability of their business franchises. Developing opportunities include energy, where a massive capital expenditure boom and plunging oil prices are creating opportunity, and industrials, which are decelerating after a decade-long boom fueled by the emerging markets.

Robeco (doing business as Boston Partners)
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, driven by strong security selection. In particular, our holdings in the energy, technology and communications sectors added the most value. In the energy sector, our avoidance of poorly performing integrated majors, such as Exxon Mobil, was relatively beneficial. They performed poorly as the price of oil fell dramatically given an increase in supply and concerns about global growth. We were also significantly underweight oil service companies, which fell sharply during the reporting period. In the technology sector, our overweight position in NXP Semiconductors contributed to results as its share price moved significantly higher. Our avoidance of Intel Corp. was also relatively beneficial as its share price declined. Stock selection in the communications sector was also strong, as our out-of-benchmark position in Liberty Global performed well. Finally, we had a significant overweight position in Comcast which outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period.
Short positions in our portion of the Portfolio that did well also came from the energy sector. For example, we had short positions in some exploration and production companies that were down significantly. In the communications sector, we had a large short position in Sprint Corp., whose shares fell sharply during the reporting period.
Detractors from performance were several short positions in the consumer services, health care and consumer non-durables sectors. Several long positions in the finance sector were headwinds for results. For example, we had a large position in Discover Financial Services whose shares declined during the reporting period. We also lacked exposure to certain regional banks that performed well.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Los Angeles Capital
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, with both fundamental factors and industry tilts contributing to results. In looking at fundamental factors, in general, our higher quality posture added value. A tilt toward stocks with low book-to-price multiples added significant value, as investors paid up for balance sheet strength. In addition, a tilt away from volatility contributed to performance, as that factor was penalized during the reporting period. Additionally, exposure to stocks with positive analyst sentiment added value. Conversely, exposure to stocks with strong earnings quality and away from highly levered companies detracted from results. Moreover, a tilt toward smaller cap stocks negatively impacted performance. Within industries, an underweight to energy and an overweight to insurance and health care equipment & services contributed to results relative to the benchmark. In contrast, an underweight to materials and an overweight to real estate were the primary detractors from relative performance.

River Road utilizes a fundamentally driven research process to identify attractive purchase candidates from an all cap universe of high yielding equity securities. The firm invests in well-managed, financially strong companies with high and growing dividends, targeting companies that are also trading at a meaningful discount to River Road's assessed valuation.

Sub-advisor's Comments – concluded
As of the end of the reporting period, our portion of the Portfolio was overweight health care, financials and retail, and underweight energy, technology and capital goods. Our portion of the Portfolio exhibited a book-to-price multiple that was in line with the benchmark and a lower dividend yield. Additionally, our portion of the Portfolio displayed a lower beta and was tilted toward smaller companies. (Beta is a measure of volatility or risk relative to the market as a whole.)
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
River Road Asset Management
For the period from February 4, 2015 through July 31, 2015, when we were a sub-advisor for a portion of the Portfolio, we underperformed the benchmark. Stock selection and sector allocation were both responsible for our underperformance and resulted in a negative total effect in seven of 10 sectors within the benchmark. The most significant detractors from performance came from stock selection in financials and an underweight in health care. The underperformance among financials was driven by holdings in the real estate investment trust ("REIT") and banking industries. In the case of REITs, a modest overweight to an industry that generated negative results was a headwind for performance. Our position in Iron Mountain, Inc., a storage and information management services REIT, was our largest detractor from performance during the reporting period. Additionally, the large regional banks we own—U.S. Bancorp, PNC Financial Services Group and Wells Fargo—all failed to keep pace with the industry's overall strong return. Other large detractors from performance were Intel Corp. and National Fuel Gas Co.
On the upside, the most significant positive impacts on relative performance were an underweight to the energy sector and stock selection in information technology. While energy was the worst absolute performing sector in our portion of the Portfolio, we significantly outperformed the benchmark sector. The outperformance in information technology was driven by our positions in Microsoft Corp., j2 Global, Inc. and Western Union. These three stocks were among our top five contributors to performance during the reporting period. The three holdings with the highest contribution to Portfolio return were Hasbro, Microsoft Corp. and PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. Hasbro was sold from our portion of the Portfolio, as it was trading at a significant premium to its assessed valuation based on our Absolute Value® approach. Absolute Value® is River Road Asset Management's proprietary investment philosophy and process. The objective of Absolute Value® investing is to provide attractive, sustainable, low volatility returns over the long term.
We did not use derivatives during the reporting period.
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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.32% and 1.32%; Class C—2.10% and 2.10%; Class Y—1.07% and 1.07%; and Class P—1.08% and 1.08%. 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, 2015 (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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Sub-advisors' Comments2
Jackson Square
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Strong performance in the health care and financial services sectors helped to overcome weak performance in the consumer discretionary and technology sectors.
In terms of individual holdings, top contributors to performance included Celgene, Allergan and Valeant Pharmaceuticals. Celgene experienced several positive developments during the fiscal year that led to strong share price appreciation. These included favorable regulatory approval and clinical trial developments for various drug offerings, as well as the regulatory overhang from the European patent office regarding their key drug offering, Revlimid, moving a step closer toward resolution. Additionally, the company has been diversifying its product offerings through recent acquisitions and strategic partnerships with other drug development companies, which helped lead to further stock price appreciation. Overall, Celgene continues to

Objective:
Capital appreciation
Investment process:
Jackson Square invests primarily in common stocks of large capitalization growth-oriented companies that Jackson Square believes have long-term capital appreciation potential and are expected to grow faster than the US economy. Using a bottom-up approach, Jackson Square 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. Jackson Square also considers a company's operational efficiencies, management's plans for capital allocation and the company's shareholder orientation.
Mar Vista employs a bottom-up approach to stock selection, seeking high quality growth companies whose stocks are trading at discounts to fair value. Mar Vista looks for companies with sustainable competitive advantages and opportunities to grow and

be a leader in the treatment of blood cancers, with a growing pipeline of breast, lung and pancreatic cancer treatments. We believe the company appears poised to continue benefiting from large growth prospects, driven by additional indications for its drugs, by increased use of existing drugs and from international growth opportunities.
Our largest detractors from performance were EOG Resources, Discovery Communications and QUALCOMM. EOG Resources, along with others within the oil and natural gas industry, continued to experience weakness amid depressed oil and natural gas prices. We initially felt EOG Resources' management team and its unique capital allocation discipline relative to other energy companies could increase the company's potential to perform and add value through a variety of commodity prices and economic environments. However, it increasingly looked like persistently low oil and natural gas prices created an environment where the company would not be strong enough to overcome cyclical headwinds over the near term. We therefore decided to exit our position in EOG Resources to allocate to more attractive opportunities.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Mar Vista Investment Partners
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Energy was the only meaningful detractor from performance from a sector perspective. This negative overshadowed positive performance from our exposures in the health care, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and financials sectors.
In terms of individual holdings, Google, two of our industrials positions (B/E Aerospace and Union Pacific) and our position in Occidental Petroleum, detracted the most from performance during the reporting period. Both Google and Occidental Petroleum were sold prior to the end of the reporting period. Google was sold to accommodate the purchase of a new stock and Occidental Petroleum was sold so that capital could be reallocated to investments with more favorable risk-reward profiles. Our lack of biotechnology stocks was also a headwind for results. On the upside, stable interest rates, a modest US economic recovery and strong financial results for our businesses contributed to results. In particular, Starbucks, Allergan, Markel and TransDigm contributed the most to performance over the reporting period.
Our average discount to intrinsic value, at 12%, has improved but still remains compressed compared to the historical averages of 20%-35% discounts. Our expectations for future returns remain the same: with the discount between prices and intrinsic values unusually compressed, we would anticipate returns over our time horizon to more closely correlate with our companies' ability to compound per share intrinsic value (and only a modest return from discounted prices).
Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy during the reporting period.
Investment process (concluded)
reinvest capital at higher rates than their cost of capital. Mar Vista also seeks to invest in companies with management teams with a proven ability to allocate capital in ways that maximize shareholder value. Mar Vista's investment approach seeks to balance both the protection of capital as well as the appreciation potential of a stock.

Morgan 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.

Sub-advisors' Comments – concluded
J.P. Morgan
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary and producer durables sectors were the largest detractors from performance during the reporting period. Stock selection within as well as the overweight to health care was the largest contributor, followed by stock selection within and an underweight to the materials and processing sector. At the individual stock level, overweight positions in luxury retailer Michael Kors and oilfield services company Schlumberger, were the largest detractors from performance. On the positive side, overweight positions in biopharmaceutical company Regeneron and online retailer Amazon.com were the largest contributors to performance. As of the end of the reporting period, our portion of the Portfolio no longer owned Michael Kors, as the company no longer met the fundamental criteria we look for in our holdings.
Our portion of the Portfolio continues to focus on identifying companies that possess these three key characteristics: 1) a large addressable market undergoing meaningful change, 2) a sustainable competitive advantage and is executing well, and 3) positive earnings revisions. We continue to find attractive opportunities in health care, which remains our largest overweight exposure. We are also overweight the technology sector, primarily through semiconductor and Internet software exposure. Our greatest underweights are in consumer staples and producer durables, areas where we are finding limited growth opportunities.
Derivatives were not a part of our investment strategy 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. 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, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.18% and 1.18%; Class C—2.00% and 2.00%; Class Y—0.93% and 0.93%; 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, 2015 (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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
5 The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the US equity universe. 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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Sub-advisors' Comments2
MetWest Capital
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Strong stock selection accounted for all our outperformance during the period.
Security selection in industrials, information technology and health care were the largest contributors to results. An overweight to the top-performing health care sector further enhanced our performance. In the industrials sector, KAR Auction Services was the largest contributor. The company is benefiting from improved off-lease volumes in its physical auction segment and increased market share in its salvage vehicle division. Furthermore, its leverage ratio has been decreasing and is now at an optimal level, providing greater flexibility to return cash to shareholders. Within information technology, Avid Technology was our best performer. The company's stock price has continued to advance after the restatement of approximately five years of annual and quarterly financial statements. These restatements were a result of Avid Technology revising its revenue recognition methodology. Elsewhere, AMN Healthcare Services added the most value in the health care sector. The company continues to benefit from the surge in demand for health care professionals, largely due to the Affordable Care Act and cyclical improvement in employment.
1 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

Stock selection and an underweight in the financials sector detracted the most from relative performance during the reporting period. Within the sector, Ocwen Financial Corp. was the worst performer. The company faced regulatory and legal pressure from the New York Department of Financial Services. In addition, a consumer business oversight board in California installed a monitor to oversee the company's business practices. As a result, Ocwen Financial's margins were materially impacted by increased legal and compliance expenses, and a decline in new revenue, as there has been a mandated cessation of new business transfers. In the second half of the reporting period, the company's shares partially rebounded after reporting an unexpected operating profit for the first quarter of 2015. In addition, after some uncertainty, Ocwen Financial received a clean opinion from their auditor, which removed a portion of the negative overhang residing in the company's stock price. Ocwen Financial continues to take action to improve its business and, as always, we remain vigilant in monitoring this company.

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, driven by strong stock selection. In particular, our holdings in the energy and financials sectors were the largest contributors to performance, while our holdings in the materials and consumer discretionary sectors were the largest headwinds to results. In terms of sector allocation, our moderate overweight to the energy sector was magnified by the sector's extremely sharp pullback at the conclusion of 2014, reflecting the precipitous decline in oil prices. Conversely, an overweight to the health care sector added the most value during the fiscal year.
One of our holdings that outperformed during the reporting period was Electronic Arts, a firm that develops, publishes and distributes branded entertainment software for video game consoles, personal computers and handheld game players. The company's most recent earnings results exceeded expectations and it raised fiscal full year earnings guidance. Demand for the next generation consoles continues to exceed expectations and has led to strong growth in software video games. The company's margins are also benefiting from a gradual shift away from consumers purchasing packaged games to consumers downloading games digitally, significantly reducing costs for Electronic Arts. We expect these trends to continue. The company also generates strong cash flows and valuation remains attractive.
One stock that underperformed was Precision Drilling, a Canadian-based oilfield services company. As the price of crude oil fell dramatically from its peak during the summer of 2014, investors sold the stock aggressively due to forecasted declines in customer demand for its drilling services. We believe that Precision Drilling's top-tier rig fleet and strong balance sheet has been overlooked, as the stock has sold off at the same rate as lower-quality peers. We see management's plan to restrict capital spending and generate free cash flow to pay down debt as prudent in this environment. We also believe this will set up the company to deploy capital aggressively when their customers' outlooks improve. With Precision Drilling trading close to the low end of its historical multiple range, we continue to hold our position.

Kayne Anderson Rudnick
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors contributed the most to performance. Conversely, stock selection and an overweight in health care, along with stock selection and an underweight in utilities, detracted the most from relative performance.
The stocks that were the largest contributors to performance were Ross Stores and Snap-on. Ross Stores continued to deliver healthy gains in same-store sales and earnings, despite considerable challenges in the broader retail environment. The company's successful inventory management initiatives helped support healthy margin expansion. The retailer also appears to be making strides with its second concept, DD Discounts, which could expand its long-term growth opportunities. Snap-on, a manufacturer and marketer of high-end tools and equipment to professional tool users, continues to deliver gross and operating margin expansion, supported by the company's Rapid Continuous Improvement initiative. Lower gasoline prices tends to result in an increase in miles driven which, in turn, should support greater car service demand.
Our holdings that detracted the most from results were CARBO Ceramics and First Cash Financial Services. Shares of CARBO Ceramics lagged along with its energy sector peers, driven by a dramatic drop in crude oil prices. While we continued to admire the company's solid market positioning, with the near-to-medium term outlook for ceramic proppant demand highly challenging, we exited our remaining position in the company during the fourth quarter of 2014. Shares of First Cash Financial Services suffered due to gold and currency price fluctuations. With over half of its revenues from Mexican pawn operations, the company has an attractive sustainable top-line growth engine and profitability enhancement opportunity. Additionally, as the company continues to expand in Mexico (where the majority of loans are collateralized with hard goods), its overall exposure to gold prices will be further reduced.

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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.29% and 1.29%; Class C—2.05% and 2.05%; Class Y—1.16% and 1.16%; and Class P—1.16% 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 of each class through November 30, 2015 (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 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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
5 The Russell 2500 Value Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap value segment of the US equity universe. 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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Performance (unaudited)
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolio's Class P shares gained 20.93% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Russell 2500 Growth Index (the "benchmark") rose 18.59%, and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds category posted a median return of 17.45%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 171. 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-advisors' comments2
Please note: Palisade Capital Management, LLC was terminated as a sub-advisor for the Portfolio effective on February 23, 2015.
Riverbridge Partners
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the period. Over the last 12 months, our conservative growth investment philosophy was out-of-favor in the marketplace. In vogue were more speculative areas of the market. Generally speaking, companies more sensitive to interest rates performed the best. Additionally, there was a clear preference for companies expected to benefit from improved economic growth. In addition to a highly accommodative Federal Reserve Board, strong corporate earnings, an improving US economy, lower energy prices and continued low interest rates contributed to this market strength.
Biotechnology stocks may serve as the best indicator of investor preference for increased equity risk during the fiscal year. The biotechnology industry of the Russell 2500® Growth Index was up over 60% over the reporting period. We seldom invest in biotechnology companies, as they do not possess the investment characteristics we seek. In particular, they have uneven revenue streams and oftentimes nonexistent earnings based on an all-or-nothing drug discovery process.

Investment process:
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
1 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
2 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
As we look forward, we feel confident about our relative return prospects. Fueling this optimism is the strong fundamental performance of our holdings, combined with our portion of the Portfolio's historically attractive relative valuation. In aggregate, we have a greater percentage of our companies experiencing increasing revenue estimates from the beginning of 2015 versus the benchmark. In addition, a far smaller percentage of companies are guiding their projected revenue growth lower. Ultimately, we believe that this fundamental strength disparity should manifest itself into superior performance.
We understand that our style will rotate out-of-favor during a market cycle. We will not, however, succumb to near-term market emotions and alter our investment philosophy and style. The consistent application of our process has enabled our portfolios to consistently recover following periods of relative underperformance.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Palisade
For the period from August 1, 2014 through February 23, 2015, when we were a sub-advisor for a portion of the Portfolio, we underperformed the benchmark. Our worst performing sectors were energy and health care, whereas our best performing sectors were information technology and materials.
We had a neutral weighing to the energy sector versus the benchmark during the period we managed a portion of the Portfolio. However, we were primarily invested in exploration and production companies with exposure to North American shale. Our exposure to companies with lower market capitalizations and higher leverage was the primary cause of the underperformance. We also underperformed in health care, primarily due to our underweight in biotechnology. We have historically been underweight biotechnology stocks because of their binary and difficult to predict nature.
On the positive side, within information technology two security software companies, Imperva and Proofpoint, were our biggest contributors to results. Both stocks underperformed during the first half of 2014, as software companies broadly experienced weakness. Moreover, Imperva experienced execution issues. We added to both positions significantly. Both companies subsequently reported strong second-half 2014 results as security threats intensified. In materials, Berry Plastics and Boise Cascade were strong performers for our portion of the Portfolio.

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.
LMCG seeks to achieve competitive returns in small/medium capitalization companies by identifying unrecognized growth potential, wherever it exists across all industry sectors. Revenue growth, margin expansion, and the ability to positively surprise and revise earnings estimates are key characteristics LMCG seeks in its holdings.
Timpani seeks to invest in small cap companies where growth is robust, sustainable and underestimated by the market. Timpani uses fundamental research, focusing on companies that it believes have superior management and whose business models have a high potential for earnings upside. Timpani forms an investment decision based on this reasearch and an assessment of the market's perception of these companies.

LMCG Investments, LLC (formerly, Lee Munder Capital Group)
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection has been the key driver of our results over time and continued to be the primary source of performance over the fiscal year. In particular, our results were the strongest in the information technology and materials sectors. Individual holdings in financials and industrials also contributed meaningfully to performance, as did our overweight to the health care sector. On the negative side, we underperformed in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors.
Dealertrack Technologies and MAXIMUS, Inc. were among our strongest performers within the information technology sector. Dealertrack Technologies is a web-based software provider to the automotive retail industry. Its shares spiked earlier this summer following the company's agreement to be purchased by privately held Cox Automotive. The company is seen as a complement to other Cox holdings, including Kelley Blue Book and AutoTrader. MAXIMUS provides business processing services to government health and human services agencies and its shares have posted steady gains throughout the past year. Additional contributors in the information technology sector included Vantiv and Heartland Payment Systems, both of which provide electronic payment processing services to merchants and other end clients. Boise Cascade (wood products, lumber) and Martin Marietta Materials (aggregates, building materials) drove our outperformance in the materials sector. We sold our position in Boise Cascade, as the stock approached our price target.
On average, we had only a modest allocation to the energy sector during the reporting period. However, the decline in oil prices and attendant weakness in the sector as a whole was a drag on our performance. Among individual holdings, Goodrich Petroleum and Halcon Resources were key detractors from results, and we eliminated both companies from our portion of the Portfolio, as the outlook for oil prices weakened. In the consumer discretionary sector, online photo publisher Shutterfly was a headwind for performance, and we sold the stock given a change in the fundamental outlook for the company.

Timpani Capital Management
Our portion of the Portfolio significantly outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Strong stock selection was the major driver of our outperformance. The beginning of the reporting period marked the end of a correction in high growth, small-capitalization stocks that began earlier that spring. The rest of 2014 could be characterized as a mostly neutral stylistic environment. However, during that portion of the reporting period we outperformed, as strong company-specific fundamental drivers produced positive earnings revisions that were embraced by investors. Thus far in 2015, we have seen the neutral style environment turn positive, as the macro environment has been benign for growth stocks overall. Stock selection within health care and financial services were the most positive for results, while our holdings in technology and energy were modestly negative. Sector allocation also had a positive impact on performance. In particular, an overweight in health care and underweight in materials & processing contributed to results.
One standout individual contributor was financial services company LendingTree, a holding of ours for over three years. Consumers are increasingly using the Internet to shop for money and LendingTree is efficiently connecting those consumers to various financial lenders. Other strong performers included health care companies Horizon

Pharma and Adeptus Health. Horizon Pharma investors are excited about a recent acquisition, as well as continued strength in its base business and product pipeline. Adeptus Health has numerous growth engines, including a substantial unit growth opportunity and an increasing addressable market. Consumer discretionary companies Skechers and Jack in the Box were also additive for returns during the reporting period.
The most negative company-specific holdings included consumer discretionary company Marchex and energy companies Diamondback Energy and Sanchez Energy. All three stocks were sold from our portion on the Portfolio given a fundamentally deteriorating outlook.
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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.25% and 1.25%; Class C—2.01% and 2.01%; Class Y—1.14% and 1.13%; and Class P—1.13% 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, 2015 (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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Sub-advisors' Comments2
Mondrian
Our portion of the Portfolio modestly outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection within markets was approximately neutral for performance. Positive stock selection in Japan and Spain was offset by weak stock selection in France and Italy. Strong performing individual security holdings included Kao, Hoya and Novartis. Weak performing individual security holdings included Vallourec and Eni. Allocation between sectors detracted from returns. We benefited from an overweight in the telecommunication services sector and from an underweight in the materials sector. This was more than offset, however, by an overweight in the weak energy sector, given the precipitous decline in oil prices. Stock selection within sectors weighed slightly on returns, driven by our holdings in the industrials sector.
Country allocation was a headwind for performance, led by an underweight in the strong Japanese equity market and an overweight in the weak Singaporean equity market. Currency allocation made a positive contribution to returns, helped by an overweight in the strong Swiss franc and by our exposure to the Australian dollar.
1 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
2 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
Investment process:
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,

The main highlights of the strategy being adopted for our portion of the Portfolio are an overweight in selected European markets, overweights in the telecommunications services, consumer staples and health care sectors, and underweights in the materials and financials sectors.
The Australian dollar weakened approximately 13% relative to the US dollar between July 31, 2014 and December 4, 2014, converging toward our estimate of fair value for the currency. During the reporting period, our defensive currency hedge added to returns.
We had no derivative exposure as of July 31, 2015.
Chautauqua Capital Management
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Security selection by region contributed to performance, whereas sector allocation detracted from results. While we were underweight in Europe and North America, we generated better returns than the benchmark in those regions. By sector, we benefited from security selection in the materials and consumer discretionary sectors. An underweight to the underperforming materials sector and an overweight to the superior performing consumer discretionary sector also aided our results, relative to the benchmark. Specifically, Croda, a specialty chemical company, added value in materials and Lululemon added value in consumer discretionary.
Conversely, our allocation to the energy sector detracted from performance, even though our exposure was substantially reduced ahead of the greatest reduction in oil prices. Energy-related holdings represented three of our five worst performers overall during the reporting period. Conviction weighting bias was evidenced during the period, as our five best performers carried more than twice the average weight compared to our five worst performers. Our portion of the Portfolio ended the reporting period well positioned, in our view, with a broadly diversified set of companies which are more profitable and growing more rapidly than the broad market, yet trade at what we believe is an attractive relative valuation.
Derivatives were not used during the review period.

and compares that to the amount of a foreign currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in another country.
Chautauqua seeks to achieve consistent risk adjusted excess returns by managing a concentrated portfolio of 25-35 quality, growth companies generally headquartered outside of the United States. The portfolio consists of a carefully diversified set of best idea equities that Chautauqua believes will benefit from long-term trends, have sustainable competitive advantages and exhibit growth that should outpace the market. Companies are valued based on a forward looking cash flow analysis. When selecting investments, Chautauqua has a long-term horizon.
Los Angeles Capital employs a "long/short" or "130/30" equity strategy. Los Angeles Capital buys securities "long" that it believes will outperform the market or decrease portfolio risk, and sells securities "short" that it believes will underperform the market. Los Angeles Capital uses a proprietary quantitative model that includes fundamental data inputs for a universe of equity securities and, through the use of statistical tools, estimates expected returns based on each security's risk characteristics and the expected return to each characteristic in the current market environment.

Los Angeles Capital
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Fundamental factor exposures contributed to performance, but this was offset by currency and sector tilts. Elsewhere, country position was flat during the reporting period.
Looking at fundamental factors, exposure to small cap stocks added value in the Pacific ex-Japan and Europe regions but detracted from results in Japan. In Europe, exposure to stocks with strong three-year momentum added value, as did a tilt toward stocks with strong analyst sentiment. Conversely, an underweight to volatility and an overweight to yield detracted from relative results.
A quality tilt in Japan toward stocks with superior profitability and high earnings quality contributed to performance, as did a tilt toward companies with strong earnings yield. In the Pacific ex-Japan region, exposure to stocks with solid one-year price momentum and to companies with lower book-to-price multiples added value. In contrast, overweights to stocks with strong short sentiment and short-term price momentum negatively impacted performance. Within sectors, an underweight to European energy was the largest contributor to results relative to the benchmark, whereas an overweight to European utilities and an underweight to health care detracted from relative performance. In Japan, tilts toward consumer discretionary and away from utilities and telecommunications added value, while an overweight to basic materials and energy detracted from results. In the Pacific ex Japan region, overweights to industrials, health care and information technology contributed to performance. Within countries, overweights to Finland and Denmark added value, but underweights to the Netherlands and France detracted from relative performance.
At the end of the reporting period, our portion of the Portfolio exhibited tilts toward consumer discretionary, financials and utilities, and away from energy, consumer staples and telecommunications relative to the benchmark. Our portion of the Portfolio exhibited higher price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, as well as a higher yield, relative to the benchmark. Our portion of the Portfolio also exhibited a lower beta and weighted average market capitalization. (Beta is a measure of volatility or risk relative to the market as a whole.)
Derivatives were not used during the review 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.

The performance of the other classes will vary based upon the different class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption. It is important to note that PACE International Equity Investments is a professionally managed portfolio while the Index is not available for investment and is unmanaged. The comparison is shown for illustration purposes only.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.70% and 1.70%; Class C—2.51% and 2.51%; Class Y—1.42% and 1.42%; and Class P—1.45% and 1.45%. 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, 2015 (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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
5 The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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.
6 On June 22, 2015, Lipper changed the peer group classification for PACE International Equity Investments from the International Large-Cap Core Funds category to the International Large-Cap Growth Funds category.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Sub-advisors' Comments2
Mondrian
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Top-down allocation from a country, currency and sector basis contributed to performance, while stock selection detracted somewhat from results. The reporting period was marked by weakness in emerging market currencies—particularly in countries running current account deficits or with significant commodity exposure. Speculation surrounding the timing of Federal Reserve Board interest rate hikes drove down interest rate-exposed currencies. In addition, an apparent shift in Saudi oil production policy, coupled with protracted economic weakness in China, left most commodity prices (i.e. oil and gas, to iron ore and gold) down sharply. Regardless of the slowing pace of long-term Chinese growth, a protracted rally in Chinese equities—spurred by looser monetary policy and stimulus measures and a raft of reforms in the financial sector—took hold from late 2014. The rally sharply reversed, however, leaving the Chinese component of the benchmark only marginally up over the period.
Positioning in India was a positive driver of performance in our portion of the Portfolio. In particular, our exposure to Axis Bank, mortgage lender Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC), technology consultant Infosys and

Capital appreciation
Investment process:
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,

engineering company Larsen & Toubro all contributed to performance. An overall overweight exposure to the rising Indian market was also additive for results. Elsewhere in Asia, positioning in Thailand added value as energy company PTT outperformed. Positioning in China was the most significant detractor from relative results given our underweight exposure. Stock selection was also negative in China, primarily due to the outperformance of the financials and technology sectors, to which we had no exposure. Stock selection was also weak in Taiwan, as technology stocks Teco, Mediatek and Quanta underperformed given the continuation of a sustained period of weakness in their respective end-markets. In the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, strong stock selection in Turkey and Qatar aided returns. In particular, Turkish refiner Tupras and utility Qatar Electricity & Water Co. both outperformed. Positioning in Latin America had a neutral impact on returns, although Brazilian miner Vale and toll road operators CCR and Ecorodovias underperformed. Out-of-benchmark positions in global consumer goods company Unilever and US-listed fast food chain operator Yum! Brands also aided returns.

William Blair
Our portion of the Portfolio significantly outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Despite pronounced style headwinds earlier in the period when lower quality/valuation stocks led the market, strong stock selection across regions and most sectors drove our outperformance. Sectoral top-down positioning was also a contributor.
Stock selection and an overweight to India was the biggest driver of outperformance. The weighting has since been decreased, as valuation sensitivity in April supported a rotation out of India—as corporate earnings fell short of lofty expectations—and into China, where a variety of stimulus measures were being unleashed by the government to quell the economic downturn. From a sector perspective, our performance was bolstered by a combination of consumer discretionary and industrials stock selection and overall positioning, notably underweights to energy and materials and overweights to health care and industrials.
The Chinese machinery company China CNR Corp. was our top contributor to results. China CNR is one of two leading rolling stock manufacturers in China. The company focuses

and compares that to the amount of a foreign currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in another country.
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.
LMCG uses a bottom-up quantitative approach to investing in emerging markets equity securities. Inefficiencies in the market create opportunities, and LMCG believes that a quantitative process, which relies on sophisticated mathematical or statistical models in selecting investments, is well-suited to capture these inefficiencies and provide an opportunity to outperform the market. LMCG's stock selection model groups factors used to select investments into three major categories: market dynamics, value and quality.

primarily on high speed trains, locomotives, passenger coaches, freight wagons, rapid transit vehicles, railway engineering machinery/equipment and core system/components for rolling stock. Its share price surged higher on China CNR and CSR Corp's merger approval by China Securities Regulatory Commission. The stock was delisted on June 8, 2015 after the merger, which resulted in the creation of CRRC Corporation Limited.
The only meaningful detractors from relative performance were stock selection in Telecommunication Services, Information Technology and Energy, along with an underweight to emerging market Asia.
From a positioning perspective, we have added to our emerging market Asia exposure, while reducing our allocation to Latin America. In terms of sectors, we added to consumer staples and industrials, while reducing our consumer discretionary and health care exposure.

LMCG Investments, LLC (formerly, Lee Munder Capital Group)
Our portion of the Portfolio modestly underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. The overall stock selection model and its three major components (Market Dynamics, Quality and Valuation) were less effective and more volatile during the reporting period, as investors focused less on company fundamentals and more on macroeconomic drivers and concerns. However, there was a particularly strong payoff to Market Dynamics, which ranks stocks versus their peers on earnings growth prospects and relative price strength. Quality, which assesses a company's earnings quality, as well as its operating efficiency and use of capital, was modestly positive. Our Valuation factor, which evaluates stocks on several relative value measures, consistently detracted from results. During periods of uncertainty, investors tend to favor stocks that have performed well and have good earnings growth prospects over those with good valuations. In this environment, cheapness is viewed as more risky.
Viewed on a market-by-market basis, stock selection detracted modestly from performance. Positive stock selection, particularly in China and Brazil, was offset by negative stock selection in Korea and South Africa. Country allocation provided a modest tailwind to performance, with underweight positions in Brazil, Greece and Colombia responsible for the majority of the positive contribution from country allocation. In terms of sectors, there was a slight positive from stock selection led by selections in financials, energy and materials. Sector allocation was a slight drag on performance during the fiscal year.
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. 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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.83% and 1.83%; Class C—2.58% and 2.58%; Class Y—1.58% and 1.58%; and Class P—1.67% and 1.67%. 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, 2015 (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—1.95%; Class C—2.70%; Class Y—1.70%; and Class P—1.70%. 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.
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

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.
6 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.
7 Effective November 28, 2014, MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) replaced MSCI Emerging Markets Index as the portfolio's primary benchmark because it more closely aligns the portfolio with the majority of peers which comprise the portfolio's peer group.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Sub-advisors' comments2
Please note: CBRE Clarion was terminated as a sub-advisor for the Portfolio effective on May 31, 2015.
CBRE Clarion
For the period from August 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015, when CBRE Clarion was a sub-advisor for a portion of the Portfolio, we modestly underperformed the benchmark. This was primarily due to our stock selection in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions. We had several positives from our US positioning, including strong performance from investments in the health care, apartment and mall sectors. However, these positives were entirely offset by the poor performance of several of our investments in the retail shopping center, hotels and net lease sectors. The shopping center and net lease sectors do not have the same earnings acceleration potential to offset the concerns about the impact of higher rates on property values. We were underweight these sectors, but some of the few securities we choose to hold were a drag on performance.
In Asia-Pacific, stock selection was challenged in Japan and Singapore, more than offsetting the positive contribution from positions in Hong Kong. European stock selection was positive as a result of UK positions. Asset allocation generally helped performance, as we benefited from being overweight three of

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.
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
the best performing countries—Hong Kong, the UK and the US—and underweight Canada, a laggard during the period.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Brookfield
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, primarily driven by stock selection. By sector, residential and office were our largest contributors to performance, due to positive stock selection. An underweight to the underperforming net lease sector was also a top contributor to performance. In contrast, underweights to the self storage and manufactured home sectors were top detractors from relative results, along with an out-of-benchmark exposure to the communications sector.
By region, Continental Europe was the leading contributor to performance, led by Germany and France. This was driven by a combination of positive stock selection and an overweight allocation to the outperforming region. Japan was another strong contributor to relative results, due to positive stock selection and an underweight allocation to the underperforming region. Finally, positive stock selection in Singapore was a top contributor. Conversely, the UK was the largest detractor from performance, driven by a combination of negative stock selection and an underweight allocation to the outperforming region. Negative stock selection in the US and New Zealand were also top detractors from results.
By security, Deutsche Annington Immobilien SE (residential, Germany), Westfield Corp. Ltd. (retail, US) and an out-of-benchmark allocation to Iron Mountain, Inc. (self storage, US) were the leading contributors to performance. We exited our position in Iron Mountain after strong performance. The largest detractors from results included an out-of-benchmark position in OUTFRONT Media, Inc. (specialty, US), as well as WP GLIMCHER, Inc. (retail, US) and Wharf (Holdings) Ltd. (diversified, Hong Kong).

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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.59% and 1.45%; Class C—2.30% and 2.20%; Class Y—1.38% and 1.20%; and Class P—1.63% 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, 2015 (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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
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.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Performance (unaudited)
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolio's Class P shares gained 4.79% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "benchmark") returned 0.02%, the Barclays Global Aggregate Index declined 6.04%, the MSCI World Free Index (net) rose 4.93%, the HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index (net) returned 4.61%, the Lipper Alternative Multi-Strategy Funds category posted a median return of 2.50%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 222. 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' comments2
Please note: UBS Global Asset Management was granted authority to manage a portion of the Portfolio effective March 31, 2014 and made its first investment in October 2014. On May 19, 2015, First Quadrant's Equitized Global Macro sleeve was eliminated from the Portfolio. On May 20, 2015, Sirios Capital Management began serving as a sub-advisor for this Portfolio.
Analytic Investors
Our portion of the Portfolio consists of long/short equity positions.3 Our process is based on the premise that investor behavior changes—although slowly—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.
1 Class P shares held through the PACE Select Advisors Program are subject to a maximum Program fee of 2.50%, which, if included, would have reduced performance. Class P shares held through other advisory programs also may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
2 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.
3 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.

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.

Positioning based on these characteristics was strong in the majority of categories, with the exception of the valuation category (historical earnings-to-price and sales-to-price), which underperformed. Specifically, an overweight to companies with favorable sales and earnings-to-price underperformed as investors focused more on growth traits. This was more than offset by strong results within the revisions category (earning estimate revisions), technical category (supply/demand) and quality category (asset utilization and return on assets). An emphasis on companies with positive earnings estimate revisions added value, as did emphasizing companies with positive price momentum.
An emphasis on low-beta stocks also helped performance during the period, as low-beta securities outperformed high-beta securities. (Beta is a measure of volatility or risk relative to the market as a whole.)
During the reporting period, we experienced positive results in the majority of regions, led by North America. While an overweight position to Canada was a modest drag on performance, stock selection within Canada and the US was particularly strong. Sector positioning was also positive, led by underweight positions to energy and materials. While an overweight to information technology also helped, stock selection within this sector negatively impacted results.
The top performing equities were short positions in Canadian materials company Yamana Gold and US-based Cobalt Energy. The worst performing positions were a long position in US-based Helmerich & Payne and a short position in Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The position in Vertex Pharmaceuticals was closed prior to the end of the reporting period due to the changing risk profile of the company.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
First Quadrant: Global Macro
The FQ Global Macro sleeve has a targeted volatility of 6% and a benchmark of US Treasury bills. During the reporting period, positive performance from global asset class selection and stock country selection were more than offset by losses from currency selection and volatility alpha (which seeks to profit from the difference between prices of options), as well as bond country selection.
After a strong period, currency selection began to struggle when our Norwegian krone position was negatively impacted

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. First Quadrant presently manages two separate portions of the Fund's assets, using the aforementioned strategies and investments. With respect to the first portion, First Quadrant seeks positive absolute returns from its global macro strategy, and the returns of this portion are not expected to be closely correlated with those of global equity markets. With respect to the second portion, First Quadrant combines its global macro strategy with passive exposure to global equity markets while targeting a specific level of risk, which is expected to result in returns more closely correlated with those of global equity markets.
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 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.

by tumbling oil prices. In addition, the Bank of Japan's decision to add further stimulus to the economy despite signs of success of the past rounds of policy initiatives negatively impacted our long Japanese yen position. The surprise decision by the Swiss National Bank to abandon the established floor against the euro led to an immediate and sharp loss in January 2015. Since then, currency selection has delivered basically flat returns.
Stock country selection benefited from heightened equity market volatility. Well-timed long Australian, UK and Italian equity positions were notable performers. The notable detractor was our long German equity position.
Bond country selection suffered throughout the reporting period, as the sustained divergence in economies and central bank policies drove sovereign bond flows against our relative value model. In particular, we were hurt by our US Treasury long and our short on the German bund.
Global asset class selection was long stocks against bonds throughout the period which benefited performance.
Volatility alpha, which seeks to profit from the differences between the prices of options, was negative for the reporting period. Losses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014 following dramatic spikes in market volatility brought the sleeve into negative territory. 2015 saw a moderate recovery, as our hedging strategies were adjusted in an effort to better protect against sudden drawdowns.
As a general rule, derivatives are the primary instrument used to implement our portion of the Portfolio. Specifically, we used futures to implement stock and bond country selection and global asset class selection strategies. 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 alpha sleeve was implemented using options on futures and indices. 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 to implement at a lower cost.
Investment process (continued)
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.
AQR employs a Managed Futures strategy, which is an active trend-following strategy. Trend-following involves going long assets that have been rising in price and short assets that have been declining in price. The managed futures strategy is primarily implemented through the use of derivatives and invests across three major asset classes: equities, fixed income and currencies. The AQR Managed Futures strategy seeks to generate returns that are uncorrelated to traditional asset classes and may improve portfolio diversification.
UBS Global AM allocates a portion of the fund's assets primarily to unaffiliated actively- and passively-managed pooled investment vehicles, including ETFs, that it believes are suitable for return generation, risk management (e.g., increased portfolio diversification), or both. In addition, UBS Global AM may invest in index futures primarily for cash management (i.e., to obtain certain market exposures in the fund and reduce cash holdings) and risk management purposes. UBS Global AM generally invests in other unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles and index futures that have risk and return objectives that are deemed to be complementary to the other investments and strategies within the fund overall.
Sirios Capital Management employs a fundamental, bottom-up, long/short strategy that is focused primarily on U.S. equities. For long positions, the investment team concentrates on mid/large cap companies where we see unrecognized growth over a 3-5 year period and a

First Quadrant: Equitized Global Macro
The FQ Equitized Global Macro sleeve had a targeted volatility of 4% and is benchmarked to the MSCI World Monthly Price Index (Unhedged). During the period from August 1, 2014 through May 19, 2015, positive performance from global asset class selection and stock country selection were more than offset by losses from currency selection and volatility alpha (which seeks to profit from the difference between prices of options). The underlying benchmark was up over the period, and the benchmark replication produced excess returns versus the benchmark.
After a strong period, currency selection began to struggle when our Norwegian krone position was negatively impacted by tumbling oil prices. In addition, the Bank of Japan's decision to add further stimulus to the economy, despite signs of success of the past rounds of policy initiatives, negatively impacted our long Japanese yen position. The surprise decision by the Swiss National Bank to abandon the established floor against the euro led to an immediate and sharp loss in January 2015. Since then, currency selection has delivered basically flat returns.
Stock country selection benefited from heightened equity market volatility. Bond country selection detracted modestly due to our US Treasury long and our short view on the German bund.
Volatility alpha, which seeks to profit from the differences between the prices of options, was negative for the reporting period. Losses incurred in the fourth quarter of 2014 following dramatic spikes in market volatility brought the sleeve into negative territory. 2015 saw a moderate recovery as our hedging strategies were adjusted to better protect against sudden drawdowns.
As a general rule, derivatives are the primary instrument used to implement all of the sleeves in our portion of the Portfolio. Specifically, we used futures to implement stock and bond country selection and global asset class selection strategies. 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 alpha sleeve was implemented using options on futures and indices. 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 to implement at a lower cost.
Standard Life Investments
The largest contributors to performance during the reporting period were currency positions (which use foreign exchange forwards and options to gain exposure to moves between currencies), driven by the strong US dollar and a weaker euro. The improving economic landscape in the US, combined with expectations that the Federal Reserve Board will begin to raise rates, provided support for the US dollar. In contrast, the expectation of quantitative easing from the European Central Bank and its eventual delivery weighed on the euro. Consequently, our long US dollar versus euro, long US dollar versus Canadian dollar and Indian rupee versus euro positions delivered strong returns. The long US dollar versus Canadian dollar was closed after reaching its performance target.
Commodity prices declined during the reporting period as demand from China, the most significant consumer of metals and energy, remained weak amid expanding commodity inventories. As a result, our global equity miners and global equity oil majors positions detracted from performance. A Swiss equity short, which had been part of the global miners position, was closed following a decline in Swiss equities after the removal of the mechanism

that limited the strength of the Swiss franc against the euro. The global equity oil majors position was closed following significant changes in fundamentals. The Swiss equity short of global miners versus Swiss equity strategy was implemented through equity futures.
An Australian short-term interest rate position delivered positive returns after Australia cut interest rates to stimulate economic growth and to facilitate the depreciation of the currency. Conversely, a short US duration position detracted from performance, as interest rates fell in the US. This position seeks to benefit from increasing Treasury interest rates. These strategies are implemented through forward interest rate swaps.
We made extensive use of derivatives in implementing our portion of the Portfolio. We typically utilized futures to gain long and short exposure to equity and bond markets, to vary our overall exposure and to create relative value positions. We used currency forwards to take explicit currency positions or to hedge unwanted currency risk on other strategies. Swaps were used primarily to express our views on interest rates, equity variance and credit default risk, as they can provide an efficient and direct way of accessing these asset classes. Swaps also allowed us to take risk exposures by targeting specific markets and/or points on a curve. We used options positions where we wanted to combine a view on volatility with a view on another asset class, typically equities or currencies. Options were also used to mitigate risks within a strategy. Overall, derivatives were instrumental to the performance and operating efficiency of the Portfolio.
AQR
Our managed futures strategy is an active trend-following strategy that employs a diverse portfolio of derivative instruments (primarily futures, swaps and forwards) to achieve exposure to various global markets. Our portion of the Portfolio generated strong positive absolute returns during the reporting period. By signal horizon, long-term trend signals contributed meaningfully to performance, while short-term signals contributed a small amount and overextended signals detracted from results.
Trend following in currencies was the largest contributor to performance over the period. During the second half of 2014, the US dollar rallied against most major developed and emerging currencies, driven by central bank divergences. The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") ended quantitative easing ("QE"), while the Bank of Japan launched massive stimulus measures and the European Central Bank ("ECB") commenced stimulus, starting with its covered bond purchase program and ultimately its version of QE. These divergences helped create a strong trend in the US dollar. 2015 began with a continuation of the trends which benefited in late 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the Fund continued to benefit from central bank policy divergences, prompting a sell-off in the euro, with the US remaining on course for an eventual rate hike, supporting the US dollar. However, these trends sharply reversed in April 2015, as currency markets broadly experienced significant reversals and choppiness leading to losses in US dollar, euro and Japanese yen crosses.
Trend following in fixed income also contributed to performance. During the second half of 2014, central bank activities and falling oil prices pressured bond yields, which led to flattening yield curves globally. We entered 2015 long developed bonds and short-term interest rate futures markets, with over-extended signals mitigating the sizes of those positions. Central banks' policies provided tailwinds to trend following in fixed income in the first quarter of 2015, prompted by the ECB's QE program and surprise rate cuts in Canada and Australia. Bond markets globally suffered a significant reversal in the second quarter of 2015, led by European bond markets. Over-extended signals' reduction of our portfolio's fixed income positions during most of 2014 and through the beginning of 2015 was beneficial during the recent sell-off.

Sub-advisors' comments – continued
Equities detracted from performance over the reporting period. Toward the end of 2014, global equities experienced a sharp correction, as QE ended in the US and the possibility of a spreading Ebola virus and weakening global growth increased risk aversion. When equity markets snapped back, long-term signals did not respond as quickly as short-term signals, causing them to hold onto their losses. In early 2015, developed equities experienced historic rallies as the ECB launched its QE program. However, a pullback in the second quarter of 2015 on worries over a Greek exit from the eurozone led to reversals and losses.
Most positions in our portion of the Portfolio are implemented through derivative instruments. The Portfolio uses global developed and emerging market exchange traded futures, futures-related instruments, forward contracts and swaps across three major asset classes: equities, fixed income and currencies. The portfolio is, with the exception of cash holdings, exclusively implemented via derivative instruments. As a result, performance of the fund is primarily from the performance of derivatives-based positions.
UBS Global Asset Management
UBS Global Asset Management was granted authority to manage a portion of the Portfolio effective March 31, 2014 and made its first investment in October 2014. During the reporting period, the US Treasury yield curve flattened, producing positive returns in all maturities, particularly in the 10-20 year part of the curve. Meanwhile, global developed market sovereign bonds generally outperformed US Treasuries on a currency-hedged basis. Given the pressure on risk assets, investment grade credit underperformed Treasuries as spreads widened, with longer-dated corporates underperforming more significantly. While high yield credit also underperformed Treasuries overall, this was mostly driven by lower-quality segments of the market, as higher-quality BB-rated issues produced positive excess returns versus US Treasuries. The US dollar strengthened against most other major currencies.
Our portion of the Portfolio consists primarily of third-party funds. During the reporting period, positive performance from Scout Unconstrained Bond Fund was more than offset by negative performance from Legg Mason BW Absolute Return Opportunities Fund. Scout Unconstrained Bond Fund produced positive returns primarily due to having exposure to the higher-quality portions of the high yield corporate market and an underexposure to German bunds.
Legg Mason BW Absolute Return Opportunities Fund underperformed, primarily due to exposures to investment grade corporate bonds and B-rated corporate high yield bonds, as well as an overexposure to short-duration securities during a period when yield curves flattened. Currency exposures contributed to performance, which was partially offset by underperformance elsewhere, as our portion of the Portfolio was largely long the US dollar over the period.
We did not use derivatives during the reporting period.
Sirios Capital Management
We began managing a portion of the Portfolio on May 20, 2015. We seek to buy attractively valued, growth-oriented stocks of mid- to large-capitalization companies and short stocks of companies with deteriorating fundamentals and vulnerable balance sheets. The investment team utilizes a fundamental, bottom-up research approach. The team seeks to identify longer-term investment opportunities (3-5 years for core longs) and will adjust weightings based on valuation and fundamentals. We combine the flexibility of a multi-sector, diversified long/short hedge fund with the focus of an individual sector fund. This allows us to potentially benefit from portfolio management skill, as we invest across sectors on a global basis, as well as the fundamental advantage of our focus within each sector.

Sub-advisors' comments – concluded
From May 20, 2015 through July 31, 2015, our long positions contributed to performance, whereas our short exposures were largely flat. Geographically, the US added the most value, whereas Europe modestly detracted from results. The most significant individual long contributors to performance were Allergan, Bank of America, Carnival, Google and T-Mobile US. The largest long detractors were Commvault Systems, DISH Network, Monsanto, NorthStar Realty Finance and Precision Castparts. All but Precision Castparts remained in our portion of the Portfolio at the end of the reporting period.
Exposure to the US market continues to be our primary focus in 2015. Recent events in Europe, particularly the turmoil in Greece, highlight the long-term instability of the euro and the difficult choices that constituents will face in the years ahead. China continues to attempt to play the middle ground between a market-based economy and central government control. With the economy over-stimulated and the rampant misallocation of capital resources, a significant economic correction is likely over the mid-term. We are striving to insulate our exposure and benefit as the excessive investment cycle unwinds.
The stock-picking environment has been much improved this year, and we expect that trend to continue. Higher interest rates, a stronger dollar, lower commodity and energy prices, and a mixed global GDP outlook create numerous cross-winds from a macro standpoint and highlight the importance of company-specific factors to drive stock performance.
During the reporting period we used forward currency contracts to hedge the currency exposure on our non-US dollar positions. The currency hedges modestly contributed to performance.
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, 2014 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—2.02% and 1.95%; Class C—2.76% and 2.69%; Class Y—1.80% and 1.73%; and Class P—1.79% and 1.72%. 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 waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2015 (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).
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 Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.
6 The Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index reflecting monthly return equivalents of yield averages that are not marked to the market and an average of the last three 3-month T-bill month-end rates. 3-month T-bills are the short-term debt obligations of the US government. 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 MSCI World Free Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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.
9 The HFRI Fund of Funds Composite Index is a Fund of Funds index with multiple managers through funds or managed accounts. The strategy designs a diversified portfolio of managers with the objective of significantly lowering the risk (volatility) of investing with an individual manager. The Fund of Funds manager has discretion in choosing which strategies to invest in for the portfolio. A manager may allocate funds to numerous managers within a single strategy, or with numerous managers in multiple strategies. The minimum investment in a Fund of Funds may be lower than an investment in an individual hedge fund or managed account. The investor has the advantage of diversification among managers and styles with significantly less capital than investing with separate managers. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
Prior to February 17, 2015, if an investor sold or exchanged shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged was deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015 but prior to August 3, 2015, there is a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Effective August 3, 2015, the 1.00% redemption fee imposed on sales or exchanges of any class of shares of the portfolios made during the holding periods specified in the prospectus was eliminated. Please refer to the prospectus for further information.
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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

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.
10 Payments made/received are based on the notional amount.
11 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.
12 If the Portfolio is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional value of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive 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.
13 If the Portfolio is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that 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.
14 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. Credit spreads are unaudited.
15 Payment is based on the performance of the underlying 3 Month USD LIBOR.

STRIP Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities
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 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, February 1, 2015 to July 31, 2015.
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.

PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements
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 Mortgage-Backed 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. 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 July 31, 2015 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 investments 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 investments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio investments. If a market value is not readily available from an independent pricing source for a particular investment, that investment is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the 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.
Investments traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Investments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges 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. The GVC provides reports to the board at each quarterly meeting regarding any investments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the GVC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions, processes, and controls over fair value determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews and periodic internal audit reviews of securities valuations.

The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign investments under some circumstances, as discussed below; securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; investments whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed income securities that are in default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of an investment's fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the investments; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investments are purchased and sold. Valuing investments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing investments that have readily available market quotations. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by an independent third party.
Each Portfolio expects to price most of its portfolio holdings based on current market value, as discussed previously. Investments 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. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the investment or similar investments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. If a Portfolio concludes that a market quotation is not readily available for a portfolio investment 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 investments principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. If an investment is valued at a "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the investment. The use of the fair valuation model may result in investments being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy at reporting period ends. In cases where investments are traded on more than one exchange, the investments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS 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.
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.

Notes to financial statements
In accordance with the requirements of US GAAP, a fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of each Portfolio's Portfolio of investments.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-11, Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): "Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures" ("ASU 2014-11") to improve the financial reporting of reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. ASU 2014-11 includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into reverse repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements and disclosures.
In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): "Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)" ("ASU 2015-07"). The modification removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share practical expedient. ASU 2015-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of these changes and their impact on the financial statements and disclosures.
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 July 31, 2015 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of July 31, 2015, 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 year ended July 31, 2015.

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 and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and borrowing 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.
The Portfolios typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements") or similar master agreements (collectively, "Master Agreements") with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Portfolios typically may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination.

* In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the amount shown and may be comprised of cash collateral, non-cash collateral or combination of both.
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. Moreover, repurchase agreements secured by obligations that are not eligible for direct investment under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act or a Portfolio's investment strategies and limitations, may require the Portfolio to promptly dispose of such collateral if the seller or guarantor becomes insolvent. 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.
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 potentially assessed to 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 in the Statement of operations.
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 effects 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. 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 their investment strategies, 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.
326
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements
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 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.
In the normal course of trading activities, the Portfolios trade and hold certain fair valued derivative contracts that constitute guarantees. Such contracts include written put options, where the Portfolios would be obligated to purchase securities at specified prices (i.e. the options are exercised by the counterparties). The maximum payout for these contracts is limited to the number of put option contracts written and the related strike prices,

respectively. At July 31, 2015, PACE Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed Income Investments, PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments, PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments had maximum payout amounts of approximately $18,329,700, $3,419,228, $6,864,442 and $136,489,231, respectively, relating to written put option contracts. Maximum payout amounts could be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the execution of a payout event.
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 that are held through swap contracts, payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.
Loan assignments and participations—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 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
328
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements
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 Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed Income Investments (with respect to securities issued by the US Treasury and TBA securities coupon trades), PACE International Equity Investments, PACE Large Co Value Equity Investments, 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 expense, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales. Because PACE Large Co Value Equity Investments, PACE International Equity Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE Alternative Strategies Investments are multi-managed and have 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. PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments did not engage in uncovered short sales during the year ended July 31, 2015.

Notes to financial statements
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 year ended July 31, 2015, only PACE Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed Income Investments and PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments utilized treasury roll transactions.
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.
There were no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at the year ended July 31, 2015.
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 Portfolios accrue 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
330
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements
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 July 31, 2015 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 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 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
332
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements
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.
The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Portfolios to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Under normal conditions, the Portfolios invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by UBS Global AM and is currently offered as a cash management option to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Portfolios' Investment Manager. UBS Global AM acts as managing member and receives a management fee from Private Money Market payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.10% of Private Money Market's average daily members' equity, minus the aggregate operating expenses of, and incurred by, Private Money Market during each such related month, not including investment expenses (including brokerage commissions, taxes, interest charges and other costs with respect to transactions in securities) and extraordinary expenses including litigation expenses, if any. UBS Global AM may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses at a

certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are reflected as securities lending income in the Statement of operations.
In August 2013, UBS Global AM made a voluntary cash payment of $2,430 to PACE Money Market Investments in order to address a differential between the number of shares outstanding and the Portfolio's net assets. The differential was attributable to historical, embedded capital losses that were experienced by the Portfolio over several years prior to the credit crisis of 2008. The voluntary payment to the Portfolio was not required to maintain a stable net asset value per share. The payment has removed a small, historical deviation that was reflected in the Portfolio's market price based and amortized cost net asset value per share.
During the year ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolios listed below paid broker commissions to affiliates of the investment manager as follows:

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 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 Portfolios pursuant to a delegation of authority from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. ("BNY Mellon"), the Portfolios' transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by BNY Mellon, not the Portfolios.
Effective July 1, 2013, UBS Financial Services Inc. voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the fee that it would otherwise have received from BNY Mellon with respect to PACE Money Market Investments so that BNY Mellon would correspondingly reduce the fees it would have charged to that Portfolio. Given that UBS Global AM has voluntarily undertaken to reduce its fees and/or reimburse expenses to keep the Portfolio's yield at or above a certain level, and that such amount exceeds the reduction in BNY Mellon's fees, the net effect of BNY Mellon's pass through of the waiver by UBS Financial Services Inc. is to partially reduce the amount that UBS Global AM would have otherwise voluntarily waived/reimbursed. For the year ended July 31, 2015, the amount of the reduction in transfer agency and related services fees charged by BNY Mellon to the Portfolio was $293,637, which reflected an equal amount of compensation that was voluntarily waived by UBS Financial Services Inc. Voluntary fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangements may end at any time.

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,

Redemption fees
Each class of each series of the Trust, with the exception of PACE Money Market Investments, will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exemptions as noted in the prospectuses. This amount is paid to the applicable Portfolio. The redemption fees retained by the Portfolios are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the year ended July 31, 2015, redemption fees represent less than $0.005 per share.
Effective February 17, 2015, for purchases of shares on or after that date, the redemption fee will be calculated as a percentage of the amount redeemed within 30 days of purchase, if applicable. Effective August 3, 2015, for purchases of shares on or after that date, the redemption fee was eliminated.
Federal tax status
Each of the Portfolios 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, each Portfolio intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes—Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Portfolios have conducted an analysis and concluded as of July 31, 2015 that, other than PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments, there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. As of July 31, 2015, PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments has recognized a liability of $358,667 related to uncertain tax positions of which $325,095 is included in payable foreign withholding taxes and foreign capital gains taxes and $33,572 is included in deferred foreign capital gain taxes payable in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The Portfolios recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year ended July 31, 2015, the Portfolios did not incur any interest or penalties.
Under the applicable foreign tax laws, gains on certain securities held in certain foreign countries may be subject to taxes that will be paid by the Portfolios.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended July 31, 2015, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Regulatory Developments
On July 23, 2014, the SEC amended certain regulations that govern money market funds registered under the 1940 Act. The most significant changes will not become mandatory until October 2016. The most significant change is a requirement that institutional prime and institutional municipal money market funds move to a floating net asset value and change an accounting methodology that had been used for decades. In addition, all prime and municipal money market funds will be subject to potential redemption fees/gates under limited circumstances prescribed in the new regulations. Government, Treasury, retail prime and retail municipal money market funds will continue to be permitted to transact at a stable $1.00 share price. UBS Global AM is currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes on PACE Money Markey Investments and expects to update shareholders further in advance of the October 2016 deadline.
Subsequent event
On September 22, 2015, the Board of Trustees approved of a new policy on behalf of PACE Money Market Investments (the "Portfolio") to invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash or government securities to allow the Portfolio to qualify as a government money market fund. In addition, UBS Global AM is changing the name of the Portfolio to PACE Government Money Market Investments to ensure that the Portfolio is understood to be a government money

market fund. In connection with the change to the Portfolio's name, the Portfolio will also adopt a non-fundamental investment policy that the Portfolio invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in government securities, including government securities subject to repurchase agreements. UBS Global AM expects to have the changes become effective on or about November 28, 2015.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of PACE Select Advisors Trust (comprising, respectively, PACE Money Market Investments, PACE Mortgage-Backed 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, collectively the "Trust") as of July 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations and the statements of cash flows of PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments, PACE Large Co Value Equity Investments and PACE International Equity Investments for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and others, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective series constituting PACE Select Advisors Trust at July 31, 2015, the results of their operations and the cash flows of PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments, PACE Large Co Value Equity Investments and PACE International Equity Investments for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

February 2015 Board Meeting
Sirios Capital Management, L.P.
Trustees' considerations
Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on February 10-11, 2015, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered and approved the proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") and Sirios Capital Management, L.P. ("Sirios") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Alternative Strategies Investments (the "Portfolio"). Management discussed with the board its proposal to terminate one of the two strategies provided to the Portfolio by First Quadrant, L.P. (i.e., the equitized portion of First Quadrant's global macro strategy) and to reallocate the portion of assets managed by First Quadrant using that strategy to Sirios. In considering the approval of the 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. The board also received a memorandum from UBS Global AM discussing UBS Global AM's reasons for recommending Sirios as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Sub-Advisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Sirios 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. It reviewed the purposes and investment objective of the Portfolio and UBS Global AM's overall plan to meet the Portfolio's stated purposes and objective. The board considered management's reasons for recommending the appointment of Sirios as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio, including its "due diligence" concerning Sirios and its belief that Sirios's liquid alternative long-short equity strategy would benefit the Portfolio by, among other reasons, reducing the Portfolio's systematic risk, improving the Portfolio's ability to generate risk-adjusted returns and reducing "downside capture" over full business cycles and complementing the strategies provided by other sub-advisors to the Portfolio. The board also received materials from Sirios detailing its investment philosophy and met with a representative of Sirios, who discussed with the board that investment philosophy 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 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 Sirios in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services anticipated to be provided by Sirios. The board noted that although the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee would result in a net increase in the sub-advisory fees paid by UBS Global AM with respect to the Portfolio, the net increase in the sub-advisory fees would have no impact on the fees paid by the Portfolio's investors as the additional cost would be borne by 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 Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Fund performance—The board received and considered composite performance information provided by Sirios. The board also noted that, as Sirios 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 Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of Sirios 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 Sirios—The board was informed by management that Sirios' relationship with the Portfolio would be limited to its provision of sub-advisory services to the Portfolio and that therefore management believed that Sirios 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 Sirios 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. Similarly, the Portfolio could benefit from having a sub-advisor with an established or well-regarded reputation.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the proposed 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 Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

May 2015 Board Meeting
Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc. and Nomura Asset Management Singapore Limited
Trustees' considerations
Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on May 19-20, 2015, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered and approved the proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") and Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc. ("NCRAM") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") and sub-management agreement between NCRAM and its affiliate, Nomura Asset Management Singapore Limited ("NAM Singapore") (the "Sub-Management Agreement" and, together with the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the "Agreements"), with respect to PACE High Yield Investments (the "Portfolio"). Management discussed with the board its proposal to terminate MacKay Shields LLC ("MacKay") as the sole sub-advisor to the Portfolio and to reallocate the assets managed by MacKay to NCRAM, with the Asian high yield allocation of the strategy to be managed by NAM Singapore in its role as sub-manager to NCRAM. In considering the approval of the Agreements, 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. The board also received a memorandum from UBS Global AM discussing UBS Global AM's reasons for recommending NCRAM and NAM Singapore as the sub-advisor and sub-manager, respectively, to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the Agreements, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Agreements—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by NCRAM and NAM Singapore 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. It reviewed the purposes and investment objective of the Portfolio and UBS Global AM's overall plan to meet the Portfolio's stated purposes and objective. The board considered management's reasons for recommending the appointment of NCRAM and NAM Singapore as the sub-advisor and sub-manager, respectively, to the Portfolio, including its "due diligence" concerning NCRAM and NAM Singapore and its belief that NCRAM's global high yield fixed income strategy would benefit the Portfolio by, among other reasons, potentially improving the Portfolio's ability to generate risk-adjusted returns and potentially enhancing downside protection. The board also received materials from NCRAM detailing its investment philosophy and met with representatives of NCRAM, who discussed with the board their investment philosophy 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 Agreements.
Sub-advisory and sub-management fees—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee to be payable by UBS Global AM to NCRAM and sub-management fee to be payable by NCRAM to NAM Singapore in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services and sub-management services anticipated to be provided by NCRAM and NAM Singapore, respectively. The board noted that the proposed contractual sub-advisory fee, with its breakpoints, was more favorable than the sub-advisory fee currently charged by MacKay and was expected to result in a lower sub-advisory fee to be paid by UBS Global AM. The board also noted that UBS Global AM voluntarily offered to pass onto the shareholders (via a corresponding voluntary waiver of its management fee charged to the Portfolio) any sub-advisory fee savings that UBS Global AM experienced as a result

Board approvals of sub-advisory agreements (unaudited)
of engaging NCRAM as a sub-advisor. The board determined that the proposed sub-advisory fee and sub-management fee were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and Sub-Management Agreement, respectively.
Fund performance—The board received and considered composite performance information provided by NCRAM with respect to various investment strategies, including its global high yield fixed income strategy and NAM Singapore's Asian high yield fixed income strategy. The board also noted that, as NCRAM and NAM Singapore would be a new sub-advisor and sub-manager, respectively, to the Portfolio, the current performance of the Portfolio was not a significant factor in the consideration of the approval of the Agreements.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of NCRAM, NAM Singapore or their 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 the sub-management fee payable to NAM Singapore would be paid by NCRAM out of the sub-advisory fee paid to it by UBS Global AM, and not by the Portfolio. As noted above, the board observed that the contractual sub-advisory fee payable by UBS Global AM to NCRAM would be lower than the fee paid by UBS Global AM to the Portfolio's current sub-advisor. The board indicated that it would further consider the implications, if any, of this lower sub-advisory expense to UBS Global AM and the fee waiver noted above, among other matters, when it engages in its next full UBS Global AM management contract review, or before if appropriate. In this regard, it was noted that UBS Global AM provides updated profitability data on the Portfolio on an ongoing quarterly basis, which provides the board with other opportunities to monitor the impact of the proposed changes on profitability going forward.
Economies of scale—The board noted that, as the sub-advisory fee and sub-management fee for the Portfolio would be paid by UBS Global AM and NCRAM, respectively, not by the Portfolio, consideration of economies of scale with respect specifically to the sub-advisory fee and sub-management fee was not relevant.
Other benefits to NCRAM and NAM Singapore—The board was informed by management that the relationships of NCRAM and NAM Singapore with the Portfolio would be limited to their provision of sub-advisory services and sub-management services, respectively, to the Portfolio and that therefore management believed that NCRAM and NAM Singapore would not receive tangible ancillary benefits as a result of their respective relationships with the Portfolio. The board recognized that NCRAM and NAM Singapore could receive intangible benefits from their association with the Portfolio, such as increased name recognition or publicity from being selected as a sub-advisor and sub-manager, respectively, to the Portfolio after an extensive review process. Similarly, the Portfolio could benefit from having a sub-advisor and sub-manager with an established or well-regarded reputation.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the proposed Agreements 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 Agreements. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

May 2015 Board Meeting
Timpani Capital Management LLC
Trustees' considerations
Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on May 19-20, 2015, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees") as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered and approved the proposed sub-advisory agreement between UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") and Timpani Capital Management LLC ("Timpani") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Small/Medium Co Growth Equity Investments (the "Portfolio"). Management explained to the board that Timpani was owned by Growth Investment Managers LLC ("GIM"), an entity made up of the Timpani investment team and Frontier One LLC ("Frontier One"), with GIM and Frontier One owning 60% and 40%, respectively, of the voting equity shares of Timpani. Management further explained that, as of April 1, 2015, a window opened for an equity acquisition event, and GIM advised that it intended to exercise its option to acquire up to 15% of the voting equity shares of Timpani from Frontier One. This transfer is expected to take place on or about August 19, 2015. Following the transaction, and assuming that GIM exercises the full option as expected, GIM will own 75% of Timpani's voting equity shares and Frontier One will own 25%. Management explained that, pursuant to Timpani's operating agreement, if GIM elects to acquire 15% of the equity of Timpani in the transaction, GIM will control the composition of Timpani's board of directors. Management noted that, even if GIM elects to acquire less than 15% of the equity of Timpani, GIM nevertheless will control the composition of Timpani's board of directors as of October 1, 2015 due to the provisions of Timpani's operating agreement. Management stated that because the expected change in ownership constitutes an "assignment," the current sub-advisory agreement with Timpani (the "Current Sub-Advisory Agreement") would terminate automatically upon consummation of the transaction and, if approved, the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement would become effective. Management stated that the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement has substantially the same terms as the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement. 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. The board also received a memorandum from UBS Global AM discussing UBS Global AM's reasons for recommending that Timpani continue serving as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Sub-Advisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Timpani 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 that Timpani continue as a sub-advisor to the Portfolio, including that the Timpani investment team currently manages a portion of the Portfolio's assets and would continue to manage those assets in a materially similar manner, with no expected changes to investment personnel. Management noted that it did not expect the investment team, philosophy or process to be affected by this change in ownership structure. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios and UBS Global AM. 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 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 Timpani in light of the nature, extent and quality of the sub-advisory services anticipated to
368
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Board approvals of sub-advisory agreements (unaudited)
be provided by Timpani. The board noted that the sub-advisory fee rate in the Sub-Advisory Agreement was the same as that in the Current Sub-Advisory 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 Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Fund performance—The board received and considered performance information provided by UBS Global AM. The board also noted that UBS Global AM believes that the investment team will continue to perform at its current level after the transaction. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the performance of the Portfolio.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of Timpani 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 Timpani—The board was informed by management that Timpani's relationship with the Portfolio would be limited to its provision of sub-advisory services to the Portfolio and that therefore management believed that Timpani 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 Timpani 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.

Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on July 14-15, 2015, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not "interested persons," as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"), considered and approved the continuance of the investment management and administration agreement (the "Investment Management and Administration Agreement") between UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") and the Trust, on behalf of each series of the Trust (each a "Portfolio" and together the "Portfolios"), and, for those Portfolios with sub-advisors/sub-manager(s), the sub-advisory/sub-management agreements for the Portfolios. (Throughout this discussion, each sub-advisor/sub-manager(s) to a Portfolio is referred to as a "Sub-Advisor" and each sub-advisory/sub-management agreement is referred to as a "Sub-Advisory Agreement.") In preparing for the meeting, the board members had requested and received extensive information from UBS Global AM to assist them, including information about UBS Global AM and the Portfolios' Sub-Advisors, as well as the management, sub-advisory, administrative and distribution arrangements for the Portfolios. The Independent Trustees discussed the materials initially provided by management on several occasions prior to the scheduled board meeting. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session after management's presentation was completed to review the disclosure that had been made to them at the meeting. At these sessions the Independent Trustees were joined by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering the approval of management, sub-advisory/sub-management, administration and distribution agreements.
In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Management and Administration Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Investment Management and Administration Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of management services provided to the Portfolios by UBS Global AM and, for those Portfolios with Sub-Advisor(s), sub-advisory services provided by each Sub-Advisor during the past year. The board also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, distribution and shareholder services performed by UBS Global AM and its affiliates for the Portfolios and the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each Portfolio's compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS Global AM concerning the management of each Portfolio's affairs and UBS Global AM's role in coordinating and overseeing providers of other services to the Portfolios. The board noted the complexity of this process for the Portfolios, given their broad range of investment strategies. The board noted that UBS Global AM provided extensive oversight of the Sub-Advisors for the Portfolios and reported to the board at each regular meeting on the Sub-Advisors' performance and compliance with applicable requirements and made recommendations with respect to Sub-Advisor changes (both in terms of the allocation of Portfolio assets to Sub-Advisors and their hiring and termination) from time to time based on the performance of the Sub-Advisors and other relevant factors. The board's evaluation of the services provided by UBS Global AM and the Sub-Advisors took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS Global AM's investment management and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS Global AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including (i) maintaining and monitoring its own and the Portfolios' expanded compliance programs and (ii) hiring and replacing Sub-Advisors, monitoring current Sub-Advisors (including adjusting their Portfolio asset allocations) and coordinating strategies among Sub-Advisors to continue to optimize the implementation and effectuation of the Portfolios' investment strategies. It also was noted that the Investment Management and Administration Agreement under consideration had been approved by shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders of the Trust held in 2008.

Board approvals of investment management and administration agreement and sub-advisory agreements (unaudited)
The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel at UBS Global AM responsible for the Portfolios and had previously met with and received information regarding the person(s) or portfolio management team from each Sub-Advisor primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of each Portfolio. The board recognized that the Portfolios' senior personnel at UBS Global AM report to the board regularly, and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed report from UBS Global AM on each Portfolio's performance and receives more extensive information periodically from each Sub-Advisor. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS Global AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS Global AM and its parent organization, UBS Group AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS Global AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It also was noted that UBS Global AM had approximately $154 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2015 and was part of the UBS Global Asset Management Division, which had approximately $680 billion in assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2015. The board also was cognizant of, and considered, the regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past few years involving UBS Group AG, UBS Global AM and certain of their affiliates.
The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Portfolios under the Investment Management and Administration Agreement as well as under the Sub-Advisory Agreements.
Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—For each Portfolio, the board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the "Contractual Management Fee") payable by the Portfolio to UBS Global AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by UBS Global AM pursuant to the Investment Management and Administration Agreement. The board also reviewed and considered the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangements for each Portfolio (if any) and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers and reimbursements into account) (the "Actual Management Fee") payable by the Portfolio. The board considered whether UBS Global AM had entered into one or more fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement agreements with a Portfolio under which UBS Global AM was contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse the Portfolio so that the total ordinary operating expenses of certain or all classes of that Portfolio through November 30, 2015 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, interest expense relating to short sales, expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed specified limits for each class (or, with respect to certain Portfolios, an agreement to waive a portion of its management fee). The board also considered that each Portfolio with such a fee waiver/reimbursement agreement had agreed to repay UBS Global AM for those waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses if the Portfolio can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing its expenses in any of those years to exceed the expense caps. Moreover, the board considered that, in addition to continuing to waive certain fees and/or reimbursing certain expenses as in past years, UBS Global AM also offered specific new waivers or expense caps for certain Portfolios as discussed below. Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing each Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and overall expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Lipper, an independent provider of investment company data (the "Expense Group"). The board also received from Lipper comparative data on a supplemental expense group of sub-advised peers (which may include certain of the sub-advised peers contained within the primary Expense Group) (the "Supplemental Expense Group"). A discussion of the board's considerations with respect to each Portfolio's fees is set forth below.
In connection with its consideration of each Portfolio's management fees, the board also received information on UBS Global AM's standard institutional account fees for accounts of a similar investment type to each of the Portfolios. The board noted management's explanation that comparisons with such accounts may be of limited relevance given the different structures and regulatory requirements of mutual funds, such as the Portfolios, versus those accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by the Portfolios and those accounts. The

board also received information on fees charged to other mutual funds managed by UBS Global AM. The board observed that it had received certain information regarding fees, profitability, compensation from other similar funds, and economies of scale from certain Sub-Advisors as part of the summary of each Sub-Advisor's responses to requests for due diligence materials in connection with the board's annual reconsideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreements; however, the board also observed that the compensation paid to a Sub-Advisor is paid by UBS Global AM, not by the particular Portfolio, and, accordingly, that the retention of a Sub-Advisor generally does not increase the fees otherwise incurred by a Portfolio's shareholders (unless a management fee waiver level was affected by a sub-advisory fee increase or a reallocation of assets).
Portfolio performance—For each Portfolio, the board received and considered (a) annualized total return information of the Portfolio compared to other funds (the "Performance Universe") selected by Lipper over the one-, three-, five-, ten-year (or shorter for newer Portfolios) and since inception periods ended April 30, 2015, and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year (or shorter) period ended April 30, 2015. Although the board received information for the ten-year and since inception periods, in its analysis, it generally placed greater emphasis on the one-, three- and five-year periods. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to determine the similarity of a Portfolio with the funds included in its Performance Universe. The board also received updated supplemental data showing each Portfolio's performance through May 31, 2015. The board also considered UBS Global AM's statement that while management believed that the Lipper peer groups were useful in evaluating Portfolio expenses relative to peers, they were less useful in evaluating performance, as in many cases they were broad-based and consisted of funds that did not necessarily have similar investment parameters to the applicable Portfolio. The board also noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to each Portfolio's performance, in most cases with respect to certain benchmark indices, including with respect to each Sub-Advisor's performance. Further discussion of the board's considerations with respect to each Portfolio's performance is set forth below.
Advisor profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS Global AM and its affiliates in providing services to each Portfolio. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. UBS Global AM's profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Portfolios. To the extent provided by a Sub-Advisor, the board also reviewed information with respect to the Sub-Advisor's profitability in providing services to a Portfolio. The board did not consider such Sub-Advisor profitability information highly relevant as the sub-advisory fees are paid by UBS Global AM, not by the relevant Portfolio.
Economies of scale—The board received and considered information from management regarding whether UBS Global AM realized economies of scale as the Portfolios' assets grew, whether the Portfolios have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale for the Portfolios. The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Portfolios were being passed along to the shareholders. The board noted that each Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee contained breakpoints, with the exception of PACE Money Market Investments. The board also noted that as of April 30, 2015, with the exception of PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments and PACE High Yield Investments, for those Portfolios having breakpoints, each Portfolio's asset level exceeded at least its first breakpoint. Accordingly, the board determined that actual economies of scale existed for those Portfolios whose assets had reached the first breakpoint level and potential economies of scale existed for those Portfolios whose assets had not yet reached their first breakpoint level. The board also noted that to the extent a Portfolio's assets have increased over time, it has realized other economies of scale as certain expenses, such as fees for Trustees, auditor and legal fees and printing and postage, become a smaller percentage of overall assets. The board also took note of the relationship between any breakpoints in a sub-advisory fee and the breakpoints in fees paid by the Portfolios to UBS Global AM.

Generally, in light of UBS Global AM's profitability data, the Actual Management Fees, the Contractual Management Fees, the breakpoints currently in place for the Portfolios and the current assets of the Portfolios, the board believed that UBS Global AM's sharing of potential and current economies of scale with the Portfolios was acceptable.
Other benefits to UBS Global AM and the Sub-Advisors—The board was informed by management that the Sub-Advisors' relationships with the Portfolios were limited to their provision of sub-advisory services to these Portfolios, and that therefore, management believed that the Sub-Advisors and their affiliates did not receive tangible ancillary benefits as a result of the Sub-Advisors' relationships with the Portfolios, with the exception of possible benefits from soft dollars (e.g., research credits related to transaction commissions) for the equity Portfolios (which also would potentially benefit such Portfolios) and possible limited benefits to certain affiliates of a Sub-Advisor, such as broker-dealers (e.g., an affiliate's execution of portfolio transactions subject to detailed restrictions in SEC rules and board oversight procedures). The board recognized that certain Sub-Advisors could receive intangible benefits from their association with the Trust, such as increased name recognition or publicity from being selected as Sub-Advisors to the Trust after an extensive review process. Similarly, a Portfolio could benefit from having a Sub-Advisor with an established or well-regarded reputation. In light of the costs of providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Portfolios and UBS Global AM's ongoing commitment to the Portfolios, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS Global AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.
In the discussions that follow, reference is made to the "median" in the Lipper Expense Group, Supplemental Expense Group and Lipper Performance Universe categories. With respect to fees or expenses, below median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses, respectively, that are lower relative to the median, and above median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses, respectively, that are higher relative to the median of the funds in the relevant Expense Group. With respect to performance, below median performance represents performance that is worse relative to the median, and above median performance represents performance that is better relative to the median of the funds in the relevant Performance Universe. Lipper information is calculated on a share class basis. References appearing below relate to Class A shares; the board also had information relevant to other share classes (e.g., Class P shares) during its considerations.

Morgan Investment Management Inc. and Mar Vista Investment Partners, LLC, the board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the following factors:
Portfolio performance—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's performance was at the Performance Universe median for the three-year period and above the Performance Universe median for the five-year period, but that the Portfolio's performance was below the Performance Universe median for each of the one- and ten-year periods and since inception. Management explained that the majority of the Portfolio's underperformance over the one-year period, which also negatively impacted performance rankings for the other periods referenced above, stemmed from the underperformance of one of the Sub-Advisors due to higher momentum growth stocks facing headwinds over this time period. Management noted that the Sub-Advisor had outperformed by a wide margin in 2013 and that the Sub-Advisor's weight in the Portfolio was reduced towards the end of 2013 to lock in those gains. Management explained that, over the last three years, the Portfolio has taken less risk versus its peer group and that the Portfolio outperformed the peer group on a risk-adjusted basis for six of the nine last quarterly trailing one-year periods.

Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management noted that the Portfolio's total expenses were within a few basis points (that is, hundredths of a percent) of the median. Management stated that, effective February 6, 2015, a voluntary fee waiver was implemented in connection with the board's approval of an asset allocation change amongst Sub-Advisors, which resulted in fee savings of approximately $100,000 that UBS Global AM passed through to the Portfolio in its entirety. Management stated that if this new fee waiver were reflected in the Portfolio's total expenses in the Lipper report, those expenses would be within one basis point (i.e., of 0.01%) of the Expense Group median. Management also noted that, compared to the Supplemental Expense Group, consisting of seven other sub-advised funds, the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee were more closely aligned with its peers, and the Portfolio's total expenses were below the median.

Portfolio performance—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's performance was above the Performance Universe median for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, but that the Portfolio's performance was one basis point (i.e., of 0.01%) below the median for the Performance Universe since inception.
Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management noted that, effective November 1, 2014, a voluntary fee waiver of one basis point (i.e., of 0.01%) was implemented, which was only minimally factored into the data presented in the Lipper report, that more closely aligns the Portfolio's total expenses to those of its peers. Management also noted that, compared to the Supplemental Expense Group, consisting of six other sub-advised funds, the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee were both at the respective medians.

In approving the Investment Management and Administration Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements with each of Chautauqua Capital Management, LLC, Los Angeles Capital and Mondrian Investment Partners Limited ("Mondrian"), the board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the following factors:
Portfolio performance—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's performance was below the Performance Universe median for the one-, five- and ten-year periods and since inception, but that the Portfolio's performance was above the Performance Universe median for the three-year period. Management explained that a portion of the Portfolio's underperformance versus its peers was driven by poor stock selection in certain sectors. Management noted that over the one-year period the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark index on a gross basis and its relative performance was within 50 basis points (i.e., of 0.50%) of the median.
Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management noted that, compared to the Supplemental Expense Group, consisting of two other sub-advised funds, the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee and total expenses were at the respective medians and the Portfolio's Actual Management Fee was below the median. Management also noted that the manager of one of the other sub-advised funds utilizes affiliated sub-advisors, which may result in that fund having lower overall expenses.

Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee was at the median and its Actual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management noted that part of the variance in the Portfolio's total expenses relative to the Expense Group median was attributable to custody fees, driven mainly by fees charged for the safekeeping of assets in local markets. Management explained that these sub-custody fees can vary widely based on the countries of the investments within the respective funds in the peer group (as evidenced by the wide range of fees across them), and that investments in less developed or frontier-type markets are more costly than investments in developing or developed countries. Management stated that it reviews sub-custody fees relative to the markets the Portfolio invests in on an annual basis and will seek to make changes to the "all in" basis point custody fee if warranted. Management also stated that it anticipates conducting a thorough review of custody fees for all Portfolios to ensure that the fees paid by the Portfolios are competitive and appropriate. Management also noted that there are two funds within the Supplemental Expense Group, consisting of six other sub-advised funds, that utilize affiliated sub-advisors and that if these two funds were excluded from the group, it would increase the Actual Management Fee and total expense medians to within a few basis points (that is, hundredths of a percentage point) of the Portfolio's Actual Management Fee and total expenses, respectively.

Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—Management noted that, at the request of the board and UBS Global AM, Lipper applied additional criteria in compiling the Portfolio's Expense Group in order to select those peer funds whose investment objectives and general asset allocation were more similar to those of the Portfolio. The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were below the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group, as well as the Supplemental Expense Group, for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report.

report. Management noted that the Portfolio's total expenses were within a few basis points (that is, hundredths of a percentage point) of the median of the Supplemental Expense Group, consisting of three other sub-advised funds. Management further noted that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee were well below the respective medians of the Expense Group and Supplemental Expense Group. Management explained that the Portfolio's high transfer agent fees are the main driver of the Portfolio's higher total expenses, which are a result of the very small average shareholder account sizes within the Portfolio.
PACE Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed Income Investments
In approving the Investment Management and Administration Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO"), the board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the following factors:
Portfolio performance—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's performance was below the Performance Universe median for the one-, three- and five-year periods and above the median for the ten-year period and since inception. Management observed that the Portfolio tends to invest in higher-rated securities than its peer funds due to historic and current investment guidelines. Management stated that prior to September 2013 the Portfolio was restricted to investing only in investment grade securities and, since that time, the Portfolio is permitted to invest up to 5% of its assets in non-investment grade securities. Management stated that since the financial crisis mortgage-backed securities funds generally have added value by owning non-agency mortgage-backed securities, the majority of which are non-investment grade. Management also stated that any exposure to non-investment grade securities would have benefited the Portfolio's relative performance as spreads have narrowed considerably on all higher-yielding securities. Management explained that, until September 2013, the Portfolio could not invest in such securities and that, even after the change, the Portfolio's 5% limitation on investing in non-investment securities places the Portfolio at a disadvantage versus its peers during periods when lower grade, higher-yielding investments outperform.
Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median (with the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee and total expenses the highest in the Expense Group) and its Actual Management Fee was below the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management stated that, while the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee was above the median, its Actual Management Fee was below the median of the Expense Group. Management explained that the Portfolio's total expenses, although above the median, were reasonably close to the Expense Group median (within two basis points—i.e., 0.02%). Management also noted that, compared to the Supplemental Expense Group, consisting of two other sub-advised funds, both of which utilize affiliated sub-advisors, the Portfolio's Actual Management Fee was at the median.

Portfolio performance—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's performance was below the Performance Universe median for the one-, three- and five-year periods but above the median since inception. Management noted that at the May 2015 board meeting, the board approved replacing the Portfolio's former sub-

advisor with NCRAM and its sub-manager, which management expects to be beneficial to the Portfolio's performance going forward. The transition to the new Sub-Advisors occurred on July 1, 2015.
Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—Management noted that, at the request of the board and UBS Global AM, Lipper applied additional criteria in compiling the Portfolio's Expense Group in order to select those peer funds whose investment objectives and general asset allocation were more similar to those of the Portfolio. The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group (with the Portfolio's total expenses the highest in the Expense Group) for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management noted that, effective July 1, 2015, a voluntary fee waiver of 7.5 basis points was implemented in connection with the board's approval of replacing the Portfolio's former sub-advisor, which is expected to result in lower total expenses. In addition, as a result of discussions with the board prior to the meeting, management proposed a fee waiver of ten basis points (i.e., 0.10%) effective August 1, 2015 for a set time period. Management stated that the new waiver will bring the Portfolio's Actual Management Fee within approximately two basis points (i.e., 0.02%) of the Expense Group median and approximately four basis points (i.e., 0.04%) below the median of the Supplemental Expense Group, consisting of eight other sub-advised funds. In addition, the new waiver will bring the Portfolio's total expenses within approximately six basis points (i.e., 0.06%) and four basis points (i.e., 0.04%) of the medians of the Expense Group and Supplemental Expense Group, respectively. Management also proposed to waive the right to recoup any amounts currently allowable within the terms and conditions of the expense cap agreement in place for the Portfolio.
PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments
In approving the Investment Management and Administration Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Babson Capital Management LLC and BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., the board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the following factors:
Portfolio performance—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's performance was below the Performance Universe median for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods and since inception. Management noted that the duration of the Portfolio is approximately two years shorter than that of the peer funds in the Performance Universe. Management explained that a short duration manager was added as a Sub-Advisor to the Portfolio in June 2014 in anticipation of higher interest rates. Management explained that as yields have fallen, particularly in longer-dated US Treasury securities, the Portfolio has produced lower returns versus longer-duration peers over the one-, three- and five-year periods. Management stated that the Portfolio's ranking has improved as interest rates have risen due to its shorter duration (i.e., lower interest rate sensitivity) relative to its peers.
Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median and its Actual Management Fee was below the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management noted that the Portfolio's total expenses, although above the median, were reasonably close to the Expense Group median (within four basis points—i.e., 0.04%).
PACE International Fixed Income Investments
In approving the Investment Management and Administration Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Rogge Global Partners plc, the board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the following factors:
Portfolio performance—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's performance was below the Performance Universe median for the three-, five- and ten-year periods and since inception, but above the
378
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Board approvals of investment management and administration agreement and sub-advisory agreements (unaudited)
Performance Universe median for the one-year period. Management explained that the Portfolio's relative performance has improved since the Portfolio's secondary benchmark index was changed to an index that is half-hedged to the US dollar on July 1, 2013. Management stated that since that time the US dollar has appreciated and the Portfolio's overall performance has been strong. Management noted that the Portfolio outperformed its primary (unhedged) benchmark by approximately 800 basis points (i.e., 8.00%) for the one-year period.
Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—Management noted that, at the request of the board and UBS Global AM, Lipper applied additional criteria in compiling the Portfolio's Expense Group in order to select those peer funds whose investment objectives and general asset allocation were more similar to those of the Portfolio. The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management stated that the peer group expense analysis continued to be problematic, noting that the Portfolio's high transfer agent fees are the main driver of the Portfolio's higher total expenses and that such expenses are a result of the average Shareholder account sizes with the Portfolio. Management noted that the Lipper International Fixed Income category is very broad, which makes it difficult to select a pure set of peers to properly compare the Portfolio's performance, fees and expenses. As a result of discussions with the board prior to the meeting, management proposed a voluntary fee waiver of ten basis points (0.10%) effective August 1, 2015 for a set time period. Management stated that, as a result of the new waiver, the Portfolio's Actual Management Fee would be approximately 11 basis points (i.e., 0.11%) below the Expense Group median, and the Portfolio's total expenses would be at the Expense Group median. Management also proposed to waive the right to recoup any amounts currently allowable within the terms and conditions of the expense cap agreement in place for the Portfolio.
PACE Municipal Fixed Income Investments
In approving the Investment Management and Administration Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with Standish Mellon Asset Management Company LLC, the board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the following factors:
Portfolio performance—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's performance was below the Performance Universe median for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods and since inception. Management stated that the Portfolio is a higher quality municipal fund in a Performance Universe of peer funds that hold lower quality investments, including sub-investment grade debt. Management explained that lower quality issuance has generally outperformed in recent years, which has lowered the Portfolio's ranking, but noted that on a risk-adjusted basis the Portfolio has outperformed the median over five of the seven last quarterly periods.
Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management explained that it appears that other funds in the Expense Group have large fee waivers in place. Management noted that when comparing the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses to the Supplemental Expense Group, consisting of six funds of which three funds use affiliated sub-advisors and do not pay a sub-advisor fee, the Portfolio is more in line with the medians. As a result of discussions with the board prior to the meeting, management proposed a voluntary fee waiver of five basis points (0.05%) effective August 1, 2015 for a set time period. Management stated that the new waiver will bring the Portfolio's Actual Management Fee within five basis points (i.e., 0.05%) of the Expense Group median and approximately four basis points (i.e., 0.04%) below the Supplemental Expense Group median, and the Portfolio's total expenses will be in line with the medians of both the Expense Group and Supplemental Expense Group. Management also proposed to waive the

right to recoup any amounts currently allowable within the terms and conditions of the expense cap agreement in place for the Portfolio.
PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments
In approving the Investment Management and Administration Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with PIMCO and Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC, the board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the following factors:
Portfolio performance—The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's performance was above the Performance Universe median for the one-, five- and ten-year periods and since inception, but below the Performance Universe median for the three-year period. Management noted that in January 2015 the Portfolio added a new Sub-Advisor that applies a more dynamic and flexible approach, particularly with respect to sector rotation, which is expected to complement and diversify away from the other Sub-Advisor's more long-term investment style and to aid the Portfolio should volatile markets arise.
Management and sub-advisory fees and expense ratios—Management noted that, at the request of the board and UBS Global AM, Lipper applied additional criteria in compiling the Portfolio's Expense Group in order to select those peer funds whose investment objectives and general asset allocation were more similar to those of the Portfolio. The comparative Lipper information showed that the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were above the median in the Portfolio's Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report. Management noted that the Lipper Core Plus Bond category has a particularly low actual management fee median and that some peer funds have large fee waivers in place due to their smaller size. Management also noted that, compared to the Supplemental Expense Group, consisting of three other sub-advised funds, the Portfolio's Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee were below the respective medians. Management stated that the Portfolio is more dynamic and flexible in its investment approach than the other funds in the Expense Group and that such an approach generally correlates with higher management fees. As a result of discussions with the board prior to the meeting, management proposed a voluntary fee waiver of seven basis points (0.07%) effective August 1, 2015 for a set time period. Management stated that the new waiver would bring the Portfolio's expenses within approximately seven basis points (i.e., 0.07%) of the Supplemental Expense Group median, and the Portfolio's Actual Management Fee would be well below the Supplemental Expense Group median. In addition to the new fee waiver, management also proposed to waive the right to recoup any amounts currently allowable within the terms and conditions of the expense cap agreement in place for the Portfolio.

Conclusion
Based on its review and, in certain instances, management's explanations upon further questioning, the board concluded that each Portfolio's investment performance was satisfactory or acceptable and that each management fee and sub-advisory fee, as proposed by management after questions and/or suggestions posed by the board, was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Portfolio under the applicable Investment Management and Administration Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement or Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively. However, there were certain Portfolios that the board determined to continue to closely monitor over the next year.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the Investment Management and Administration Agreement for each Portfolio and, for those Portfolios with Sub-Advisors, the Sub-Advisory Agreement(s).

The [audit] Committee shall:
…
2. Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services(1) to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to UBS Global [Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”)] and any Covered Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek periodically from UBS Global [AM] and from the independent auditors a list of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be rendered to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] or any Covered Service Providers by the Fund’s independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to a sub-committee consisting of the Chairperson of the Committee
and two other members of the Committee as the Chairperson, from time to time, may determine and appoint, and such sub-committee shall report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the sub-committee’s meeting, its decision(s). From year to year, the Committee shall report to the Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than UBS Global [AM] or the Fund’s officers).
(1) The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund.

Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with UBS Global [AM] that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors (during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided) by (a) the Fund, (b) its investment adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.
