Dear PACE Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide you with the semiannual report for the PACE portfolios (the "Portfolios"), comprising the PACE Select Advisors Trust. This report includes summaries of the performance of each Portfolio, as well as commentaries from the investment advisor and subadvisors regarding the events that affected Portfolio performance during the six months ended January 31, 2017. Please note that the opinions of the subadvisors do not necessarily represent those of UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc.
A continued modest economic expansion
The US economy faced a number of headwinds, but overcame these challenges and continued to expand during the reporting period. That being said, the overall pace was fairly tepid. The US Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") grew at a 0.8% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016. GDP growth then improved to 3.5% during the third quarter—the strongest reading since the third quarter of 2014. Finally, the US Commerce Department's second reading showed that fourth-quarter 2016 GDP grew 1.9%.1
After taking its first step to normalizing monetary policy in late 2015, the US Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") kept rates unchanged during its first seven meetings in 2016. Then, as widely anticipated, the Fed raised interest rates 0.25% in December 2016 to a range between 0.50% and 0.75%. In its statement following the December meeting the Fed said, "The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run. However, the actual path of the federal funds rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data."
From a global perspective, in its January 2017 World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") said, "After a lackluster outturn in 2016, economic activity is projected to pick up pace in 2017 and 2018, especially in emerging market and developing economies. However, there is a wide dispersion of possible outcomes around the projections, given uncertainty surrounding the policy stance of the incoming US administration and its global ramifications." From a regional perspective, the IMF estimates 2017 growth in the eurozone will be 1.6%, versus 1.7% in 2016. Japan's economy is expected to expand 0.8% in 2017, compared to 0.9% in 2016. Elsewhere, the IMF projects that overall growth in emerging market countries will accelerate to 4.5% in 2017, versus 4.1% in 2016.
Global equities generate positive results
The global equity market was highly volatile at times but produced positive results during the reporting period. Global equities generally declined over the first half of the period amid mixed economic data and uncertainties regarding future monetary policies. After a period of weakness in October 2016, US equities rallied sharply following the November elections given expectations for improving growth in the Trump administration. International equities also moved higher during the last two months of the reporting period. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 5.96% for the six months ended January 31, 2017. International
1 Based on the Commerce Department's second estimate announced on February 28, 2017.
2 The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged, weighted index composed of 500 widely held common stocks varying in composition and is not available for direct investment. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.
3
developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 rose 3.49% during the period, while emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 returned 4.92%.
Overall, fixed income produced weak results
The global fixed income market produced generally weak results during the reporting period. In the US, Treasury yields moved sharply higher after the November elections as investors anticipated an uptick in growth and inflation. Additionally, in December the Fed increased its projection for the number of rate hikes it would make in 2017. For the six month period, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury rose from 1.46% to 2.45% (bond yields and prices move in the opposite direction). The overall US bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 declined 2.95% for the six months ended January 31, 2017. Returns of riskier fixed income securities were mixed. High yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index,6 gained 6.21% during the reporting period. In contrast, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 declined 0.75%.
Sincerely,

Managing Director, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc.
This report is intended to assist investors in understanding how the Portfolios performed during the six-month period ended January 31, 2017. The views expressed in the Advisor's and Subadvisors' 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 Government Money Market Investments only) and subadvisors. Subadvisors' comments on Portfolios that have more than one subadvisor are reflective of their portion of the Portfolio only. The views and opinions in this report were current as of March 17, 2017. 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 subadvisors 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 Bloomberg 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.

Performance (Unaudited)
The seven-day current yield for the Fund as of January 31, 2017 was 0.01% (after fee waivers/expense reimbursements).1 For more information on the Fund's performance, refer to "Yields and characteristics at a glance" on page 6. 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 a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the period, please refer to page 2.
Advisor's comments (Unaudited)
In December 2016, the US Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") modestly raised the federal funds rate from a low range between 0.25% and 0.50% to a range between 0.50% and 0.75%.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.) While the yields on a wide range of short-term investments moved higher over the period, yields still remain low by historical comparison. 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 six-month review period. When the reporting period began, the Portfolio had a WAM of 57 days. This was decreased to 54 days at the end of the reporting period.
A number of adjustments were made to the Portfolio's sector and issuer positioning during the six-month period. We increased the Portfolio's exposure to US government and agency obligations and reduced its allocation to repurchase agreements. (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.)

Advisor's comments (Unaudited)2
The Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Overall US interest rate strategies were negative for results. A modest overweight to short-term duration detracted from performance as US Treasury yields generally rose. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) However, this was partially offset by yield curve positioning, with a focus on shorter rates, as they outperformed intermediate and long rates.
Relative value positioning within agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") added to returns. An overweight to Ginnie Mae mortgages was beneficial as they outperformed the broader mortgage market. A focus on higher coupon conventional securities (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) was rewarded as higher coupons outperformed lower coupons. Additionally, holdings of agency collateralized mortgages that benefit from increasing interest rates added to performance. Finally, holdings of mortgage credit, especially non-agency and commercial mortgages, boosted returns.
Overall, derivative usage was positive during the period, as the Portfolio was short US swap rates which underperformed Treasury rates. We used interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures, as well as to substitute for physical securities. The Portfolio benefited from the income generated from selling mortgage pool options as a way to manage interest rate and volatility risk within the sector. Additionally, options on swaps were used to manage interest rate and volatility exposures, as well as to generate income in expected interest rate scenarios. Total return swaps were used to replicate broad exposure to interest-only agency mortgages, while limiting idiosyncratic risk of owning individual bonds.
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:
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.
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, 2016 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.07% and 0.97%; Class C—1.60% and 1.47%; Class Y—0.89% and 0.72%; and Class P—0.91% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS AM is contractually obligated to: (1) waive its management fees through November 30, 2017 to the extent necessary to reflect the lower subadvisory fee paid by UBS AM to Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, the Portfolio's investment 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, 2017 (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 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 and that UBS AM has not waived the right to do so. 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 3.75%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees of 0.25% annually.
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 of 0.25% and 0.50% annually, respectively.
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 Bloomberg 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance (Unaudited)
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned -1.22% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays US Intermediate Government/Credit Index (the "benchmark") returned -1.92%, and the Lipper Core Bond Funds category posted a median return of -2.43%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 30. 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.)

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited)2
BlackRock
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. The relative outperformance was spread across a diverse set of factors. The largest contributor was our yield curve positioning, which benefited from the steepening of the yield curve as a result of a reflationary environment taking hold of the market in the fourth quarter of 2016. In a similar theme, our allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") augmented performance. Our allocation to structured products was also additive, as investors sought stable yielding securities in a more volatile environment. An allocation to high yield corporate bonds and security selection within investment grade credit were also additive for performance. This was largely driven by a preference for financial issuers and select trades in the telecommunication and energy sectors. Conversely, our underweight in investment grade credit detracted from results, as early signs of so-called "animal spirits" (improving consumer confidence) helped drive spreads tighter in the sector.
The Portfolio is currently positioned with a moderately long duration and continue to favor credit exposed to the US consumer, with a preference toward structured products rather than corporates. We expect volatility to remain at a heightened level and a higher level of dispersion to be prevalent in markets in the months to come when compared to the past several years of quantitative easing-induced low volatility and high cross-sector correlations.
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.

Investment process:
BlackRock: The Portfolio invests primarily in fixed income securities. The portfolio buys specific bonds based on its credit analysis and review. The Portfolio 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.

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited) – concluded
A number of derivative 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 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. Credit default swaps were 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.
Barings LLC (Formerly Babson Capital Management)
During the time when we managed a portion of the Portfolio, from August 1, 2016 to December 14, 2016, our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark. Our allocation to investment grade corporate bonds was a strong driver of our outperformance. In particular, our holdings in the banking and finance-other sectors were additive for performance. The finance-other category contains such sub-sectors as asset managers and brokerage companies. An allocation to BB-rated high yield bonds also helped performance during the period.
Elsewhere, the securitized sector contributed to returns. Asset-backed securities (ABS), with allocations to student loans, automobile, timeshares and business franchise receivables, were the largest contributing subsectors. Allocations to residential mortgage-backed securities ("RMBS") and commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") also added to performance.
The front end of the yield curve (between three months and three years) steepened substantially after the outcome of the US election in anticipation of fiscal stimulus, increasing budget deficits and potential inflation. In addition, the US Federal Reserve Board has indicated there may be two or three rate hikes in 2017. As a result, our duration was increased from 1.5 years prior to the election to 1.75 years at the end of November 2016. Duration positioning was a slight detractor from performance toward the end of the reporting period as the strategy was in the process of lengthening its duration.
Our portion of the Portfolio used derivative instruments for yield curve, duration and credit risk management. During the period, Treasury futures and options on credit default swaps were used to manage our portion of the Portfolio. Derivatives were a modest contributor to performance.
Investment process
(concluded)
Once the Portfolio 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.
Barings: The Portfolio 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. The Portfolio seeks to add value through security selection, sector rotation, convexity biases and yield curve positioning. Finally, the Portfolio 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.

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 Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS 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 and that UBS AM has not waived the right to do so. 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 3.75%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees of 0.25% annually.
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 of 0.25% and 0.50% annually, respectively."
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 Bloomberg 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Performance (Unaudited)
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned -1.73% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays US Government/Credit Index (the "benchmark") returned -3.50%, and the Lipper Core Plus Bond Funds category posted a median return of -1.62%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 55. 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.
Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited)2
PIMCO
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. An overweight to US duration was negative for performance as US Treasury yields rose during the period. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) However, European interest rate strategies added to performance, particularly our short exposure to French and UK duration as interest rates rose in these regions.
Credit strategies, including allocations to high yield corporate bonds, non-agency mortgages and emerging market external debt contributed to performance. However, exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities detracted from results as the sector underperformed like-duration Treasuries.
Exposure to US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") was positive for performance as inflation expectations increased during the period. Lastly, currency strategies modestly detracted from results, including tactical exposures to the Japanese yen and Mexican peso, as these currencies depreciated relative to the US dollar.
Overall, derivative usage was positive during the period, as the Portfolio was short US swap rates, which underperformed Treasury rates. The use of credit default swaps ("CDX") to manage credit exposure in lieu of the direct buying or selling of securities modestly detracted from performance as cash credit spreads tightened more than CDX spreads. We used interest rate swaps to adjust interest rate and yield curve exposures, as well as to substitute for physical securities. 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. Government futures were utilized to adjust interest rate exposures and replicate government bond positions.
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.

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. The Portfolio seeks to invest in the areas of the bond market it considers undervalued, based on such factors as quality, sector, coupon and maturity. The Portfolio decides to buy or sell specific bonds

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited) – concluded
Neuberger Berman
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. We maintained an overweight to spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) versus US Treasury securities, as the former can provide an incremental source of yield and they generally perform better in a stronger economy. Within US Treasuries, we continue to prefer real rates over nominal rates due to potential inflationary pressures going forward. Federal Reserve Board rate hikes, fiscal stimulus, deregulation and the uncertain European political landscape will be at the forefront for the remainder of 2017.
The largest contributor to results during the reporting period was our allocation to high yield bonds, as their spreads continued to tighten as oil recovered and economic growth remained stable. Non-agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and our overweight to BBB-rated credit were also major drivers of results. An overweight to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") contributed to results as break-even rates pushed higher due to increased inflation expectations under a Trump administration. Elsewhere, our short duration position was beneficial as rates spiked from their lows in the beginning of July 2017. There were no major detractors from results during the reporting period.
Several adjustments were made to our portion of the Portfolio during the reporting period. We reduced our short duration position and remained neutral in US dollar rates. We hedged some of our high yield exposure and added exposure in bank loans as spreads between the two asset classes tightened.
During the reporting period, financial derivatives were used to manage interest rate risk and shorten our overall duration relative to the benchmark, as well as hedge credit risk in high yield. The use of these instruments contributed to performance.
Investment process
(concluded)
based on an analysis of their values relative to other similar bonds. The Portfolio 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.
Neuberger Berman: The Portfolio employs a consistently applied, risk-managed approach to portfolio management that leverages Neuberger Berman's proprietary fundamental research capabilities, decision-making frameworks, and quantitative risk management tools. The Portfolio 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, the Portfolio 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, 2016 prospectuses, supplemented from time to time, were as follows: Class A—1.10% and 0.96%; Class C—1.60% and 1.46%; Class Y—0.97% and 0.71%; and Class P—0.88% and 0.71% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS 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, 2017 (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—0.96%; Class C—1.46%; Class Y—0.71%; and Class P—0.71%.
The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS 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 and that UBS AM has not waived the right to do so. 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 3.75%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees of 0.25% annually.
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 of 0.25% and 0.50% annually, respectively.
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 Bloomberg 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

9 Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at the period end.
10 Perpetual investment. Date shown reflects the next call date.
11 Bond interest in default.
12 Security purchased on a when-issued basis. When-issued refers to a transaction made conditionally because a security, although authorized, has not yet been issued.
13 Position is unsettled. Contract rate was not determined at January 31, 2017 and does not take effect until settlement.
14 Rate shown reflects annualized yield at the period end on zero coupon bond.
15 Rate shown is the discount rate at the date of purchase unless otherwise noted.
16 If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund 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 obligation 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 obligation.
17 Payments made or received are based on the notional amount.
18 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 or other credit event occurring 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.
19 If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation 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 obligation.

Performance (Unaudited)
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned -3.52% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal 3-15 Year Blend Index (the "benchmark") returned -3.00%, and the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted a median return of -3.25%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 86. 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.
Advisor's comments (Unaudited)2
The Portfolio lagged its benchmark during the reporting period. Positive contributions from sector allocation and security selection were offset by a negative impact from a modest long duration posture.
From a sector standpoint, an overweight to revenue bonds was a positive as these high yield producing bonds helped deliver favorable performance versus general obligation and pre-refunded bonds, both of which were Portfolio underweights. Within the revenue bond sector, the strongest performance was generated by utility-power, education and airport bonds. In contrast, detracting from results were our overweights to pre-paid gas and hospital revenue bonds. Security selection was also a positive, driven by strong results among education, utility-power and state general obligations, notably issues from California. Another contributor was strong performance among our floating rate securities, as they benefited from the general rise in interest rates, particularly following the US election.
State and local tax-backed credits continued to benefit overall from supportive fundamental conditions. State tax revenue growth remained positive during the period, although the growth rate slowed compared to recent years. While states continue to address pension challenges, several high profile state credits continue to be penalized by the market for little or no reform progress on post-employment benefit funding gaps. We believe caution is warranted within the general obligation sector, as ratings and spread risk are elevated, specifically among those issuers with weak pension funding status and limited financial flexibility. The Portfolio benefited from avoiding general obligation issues with the most severe pension and fiscal challenges, including Illinois and Chicago. From a credit rating standpoint, A-rated bonds perform the strongest, while the BBB-rated segment lagged the most. The Portfolio benefited from being overweight A-rated bonds versus the benchmark, while our BBB-rated bond exposure was relatively neutral.
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:
High current income exempt from federal income tax
Investment process:
In deciding which securities to buy, the Portfolio seeks to identify undervalued sectors or geographical regions of the municipal market, or undervalued individual securities. To do this, the Portfolio uses credit research and valuation analysis, and monitors the relationship of the municipal yield curve to the Treasury yield curve. The Portfolio may also make modest duration adjustments based on economic analyses and interest rate forecasts. The Portfolio generally sells securities if it identifies more attractive investment opportunities within its investment criteria that may improve the Portfolio's return. The Portfolio also may sell securities with weakening credit profiles or to adjust the average duration of the Portfolio.

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited) – concluded
Municipal bond yields and volatility increased during the second half of the reporting period. This was driven by investor reaction to the US election results, relatively heavy issuance and a Federal Reserve Board rate hike in December 2016. While the rate rise was felt across the entire bond maturity spectrum, longer maturities experienced a higher increase than their shorter counterparts. A modestly long duration posture detracted from returns versus the benchmark, as 10-year AAA municipal yields increased 0.94%. Yield curve exposure was also modestly negative for performance. This was due to our relatively higher exposure to longer bond maturities, particularly within the 12-to-17-year range, and a correspondingly lower exposure to shorter maturities inside of five years, which outperformed on a relative basis.
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, 2016 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—0.92% and 0.87%; Class C—1.42% and 1.37%; Class Y—0.72% and 0.65%; and Class P—0.67% and 0.62% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS AM is contractually obligated to: (1) waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2017 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed Class A—0.90%; Class C—1.40%; Class Y—0.65%; and Class P—0.65%; and (2) waive its management fees through November 30, 2017 to reflect a lower management fee paid by the Portfolio to UBS AM. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses (pursuant to item (1)) 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 and that UBS AM has not waived the right to do so. 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
1 Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 2.25%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees of 0.25% annually.
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 of 0.25% and 0.50% annually, respectively.
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 Bloomberg 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 results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates.

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited)2
Rogge Global Partners
During the time when we managed a portion of the Portfolio, from August 1, 2016 to January 6, 2017, Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark. Relative performance was positively impacted by yield curve steepening positions in the US, Germany and Japan. A bias to underweight duration over the period, particularly among Japanese bonds, also added value. (Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes.) Country selection was negative overall, primarily due to the negative impact of an overweight in Mexican local currency bonds which suffered in the aftermath of the Trump victory. An exposure to Malaysian local currency bonds also detracted before our position was sold in December 2016. Currency positioning had a net neutral impact overall. The positive impact of an underweight to the Japanese yen versus both the euro and US dollar, as well as an overweight to the Russian ruble, were offset by the negative impact of an overweight in South American currencies, such as the Mexican peso and Brazilian real. Sector selection was positive overall, as the decision to be overweight credit, including maintaining an exposure to high yield corporate bonds, was positive for results.
We utilized derivatives in our portion of the Portfolio, mainly interest rate futures and forward foreign exchange contracts. This allowed us to take positions in various government bond markets, hedge interest rate exposure

Investment process:
Rogge Global Partners: The Portfolio 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, the Portfolio 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 attrac-

and take long and short positions in currencies. Overall, the use of derivatives was beneficial for our results.
J.P. Morgan
During the time when we managed the Portfolio, from close of business January 9, 2017 to January 31, 2017, we slightly underperformed the benchmark. Our exposure to European periphery countries, namely Spain and Italy, in the 10-year part of the yield curve detracted from performance as political risk weighed on government bonds from those countries over the month. Our short 2- and 10-year US duration marginally detracted from results. While US Treasury rates were almost flat over the month, the good data across developed and key emerging economies was countered by negative U.S. political headlines. Our foreign exchange ("FX") overlay exposure detracted as our long US dollar position was hurt during January. The US dollar gave back much of its post-election advance as investors wait for more clarity about the fiscal policy in the US. The main contributor to returns was our long Canada versus Germany 10-year position. This was implemented during January to reflect our negative long-term view of European duration as we anticipate European Central Bank tapering of its quantitative easing program through government bond purchases later this year. Our investment grade corporate allocation contributed to performance due to our overweight in financials. Corporate spreads were roughly flat over the month. However, financials outperformed within the sector as the potential for deregulation, which has been communicated as a primary initiative of the Trump administration, was viewed constructively. Expectations of higher rates in the US also are supportive of the view that bank profitability may improve.
We utilize derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes. The main types of financial derivative contracts used are interest rate futures and foreign exchange currency forwards contracts. This allows implementation of our strategy as well as to hedge or take currency risk. Overall the use of derivatives was beneficial to our portfolio management process.

tive investment opportunities, and may also sell securities to adjust the average duration of the Portfolio.
J.P. Morgan: The Portfolio aims to deliver consistent risk-adjusted outperformance across various market environments by building a diversified portfolio investing in global debt securities. Using a disciplined and systematic process to evaluate and identify attractive investment opportunities, the strategy invests in various fixed income asset classes across multiple currencies and actively manages asset allocation across sectors. The investment process combines top-down and bottom-up analysis, leveraging a globally integrated team steeped in a disciplined research-driven approach.
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 annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2016 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.28% and 1.05%; Class C—1.76% and 1.53%; Class Y—1.07% and 0.84%; and Class P—1.08% and 0.85% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS AM is contractually obligated to: (1) waive its management fees through November 30, 2017 to the extent necessary to reflect the lower subadvisory fee paid by UBS AM to Rogge Global Partners Ltd, the Portfolio's investment advisor; (2) waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2017 (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%; and (3) waive its management fees through November 30, 2017 to reflect a lower management fee paid by the Portfolio to UBS AM. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS 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 and that UBS AM has not waived the right to do so. 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

Performance (Unaudited)
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 6.70% 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") returned 5.91%, and the Lipper High Yield Funds category posted a median return of 5.22%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 110. 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.
Advisor's comments (Unaudited)2
The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. Major events in this six-month period included the surprise election of Donald Trump and the agreement among the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and non-OPEC oil producing countries to cut production. The energy sector generated the strongest returns, based on recovering oil prices. From a regional standpoint, we maintained an overweight position to US high yield. The market rallied toward the end of the fourth quarter of 2016 given a positive view of the pro-business tilt of the new administration, as well as improved oil prices. The Portfolio's gains were broad-based, as many industries benefited from better growth, rising commodity prices and a friendly merger and acquisition ("M&A") environment.
Slight overweights and positive security selection in the energy and basic industry sectors were both additive for results. Additionally, the Portfolio's relative outperformance was driven by an underweight to the telecommunications sector. From an issuer perspective, Chaparral Energy, Intelsat, Peabody Energy and Chesapeake Energy were among the securities that contributed the most to performance. Underweights to insurance and health care, as well as an overweight to transportation, detracted from relative performance during the period. From an issuer perspective, Community Health Systems and Tesco were among the largest headwinds for performance.
From a ratings perspective, an underweight and positive issuer selection in BB-rated issuers, coupled with overweights in B-rated and CC-rated securities, contributed to relative performance. In contrast, an overweight to CCC-rated issuers slightly detracted from results. In terms of regional positioning, an overweight and positive issuer selection in US high yield, along with a slight underweight in European high yield, added the most to relative performance. Conversely, an underweight to Asian high yield was a slight drag on returns during the period.

Objective:
Total return
Investment process:
The Portfolio seeks to capture the global high yield bond market's attractive total returns while minimizing losses by identifying "Strong Horse" companies that can carry their debt load through the economic cycle. 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.

Advisor's comments (Unaudited) – concluded
Currency forwards were used during the reporting period to hedge the currency exposure of the Portfolio into US dollars. Overall, the use of derivatives contributed to performance during the reporting period.
Investment process
(concluded)
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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the November 28, 2016 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.26% and 1.16%; Class C—1.75% and 1.65%; Class Y—1.03% and 0.93%; and Class P—1.11% and 1.01% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS AM is contractually obligated to: (1) waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Portfolio's ordinary total operating expenses of each class through November 30, 2017 (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%; and (2) waive its management fees through November 30, 2017 to reflect a lower management fee paid by the Portfolio to UBS AM. The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses (pursuant to item (1)) 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 and that UBS AM has not waived the right to do so. 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS 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 3.75%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees of 0.25% annually.
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 of 0.25% and 0.50% annually, respectively.
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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited)2
Pzena
Our portion of the Portfolio significantly outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Benefiting our results was the market rotation that began mid-year out of bond proxies and into economically sensitive sectors, which accelerated after the US election. Our portion's financial and technology holdings were the largest contributors to relative performance, as was having minimal exposures to utilities, healthcare and consumer staples, as these sectors lagged during the period. Detracting from performance was an overweight to the consumer discretionary sector, which underperformed the benchmark, as well as having no exposure to materials & processing, a sector that outperformed the benchmark.
Our segment's financials holdings surged higher on the strength of a strong post-US election rally, as interest rates rose and expectations grew for a more benign regulatory environment. In particular, Bank of America, Voya Financial and Morgan Stanley were the largest individual contributors to performance. Leading hard disk drive maker Seagate Technology was also a notable contributor as restructuring efforts translated into improved profitability.
Wal-Mart Stores detracted from performance as pricing discounts and investments in wages and e-commerce cut into profits. We believe these moves will ultimately drive higher same-store sales and an improved customer experience. Abbott Laboratories weakened due to a slowdown in its China-based nutrition business and uncertainties surrounding its recent acquisition of St. Jude Medical. We see the St. Jude Medical acquisition as giving Abbott Laboratories a leading cardiovascular franchise. We also view its nutrition business in China as ultimately being a small portion of the company's long-term profitability. The Portfolio continues to hold Wal-Mart Stores and Abbott Laboratories.
Our segment's largest exposures continue to be in financial, consumer discretionary, established technology and energy companies. Many of the stocks

Boston Partners
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, mainly driven by stock selection. In particular, our holdings in the technology and finance sectors were the most additive for results. In the technology sector, shares of Computer Sciences Corp. and Leidos Holdings rallied sharply during the reporting period. Computer Services Corp., an information technology consulting firm, is a steady business with high recurring revenues and strong free cash flow. It also has, in our view, an attractive valuation and strong business momentum due to recent successful cost cutting initiatives. Their announced merger with Hewlett Packard Enterprise added additional sources for cost savings and added revenue synergies, meaningfully improving their long-term fundamental outlook, which drove the stock higher. Leidos Holdings posted strong results after it completed the acquisition of Lockheed Martin's services business and posted solid earnings. Bank of America was our segment's top individual contributor for the period.
A number of short positions also contributed to performance, with healthcare and consumer services being the largest contributors to results. Shares of Brookdale Senior Living and athenahealth fell sharply and our segment's short positions were therefore additive for relative results. Retailers Dollar Tree and Lululemon Athletica also declined and our short position benefited performance. We closed our positions in Brookdale Senior Living, athenahealth and Dollar Tree prior to the end of the reporting period.
Healthcare was the largest detractor for the period, driven by our segment's biotechnology holdings and supplier companies. McKesson accounted for most of the underperformance, as its shares declined after it missed its quarterly earnings due to pricing issues. Shares of Gilead Sciences fell after missing earnings due to weakness in its Hepatitis-C revenues. Communications was also a detractor largely due to Liberty Global after the company missed free cash flow projections. Elsewhere, short positions in the finance sector detracted from relative performance. Regional banks was the largest culprit from this sector as our short positions in Community Bank, CVB Financial and UMB Financial were headwinds for performance as they posted positive returns.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Los Angeles Capital

forming 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.
Boston Partners: The Portfolio invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of issuers identified as having attractive value characteristics with strong fundamentals and positive business momentum. The Portfolio 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: The Portfolio 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. The Portfolio

stronger three-year momentum as they performed well. A reduced exposure to these historical winners negatively impacted our results. Companies with higher expected earnings growth also fared well, and a tilt away from such companies further held back our performance. Within industries, an overweight to banks and materials added value, while an underweight to diversified financials and an overweight to real estate detracted from relative results.
Over the period, our risk-on posture contributed significantly to returns. Tilts toward securities with greater financial risk, higher volatility and more pension risk were among the primary drivers of our returns. Smaller-cap companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index were rewarded during the period, and a tilt away from the larger companies in the Index added value. Additionally, companies with higher book-to-price ratios rallied during the period and increased exposure to such companies was beneficial.
As of the end of the reporting period, our portion of the Portfolio was overweight financials, utilities and basic materials, and underweight capital goods, healthcare and consumer staples. Our portion of the Portfolio exhibited lower price-to-earnings and price-to-book multiples and a higher dividend yield relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index. Additionally, we were tilted toward smaller companies.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
River Road Asset Management
Our portion of the Portfolio modestly underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Sector allocation and stock selection, overall, detracted from returns. The most significant negative impacts were from an underweight in the financials sector and an overweight in the real estate sector. In terms of individual holdings, Iron Mountain, Inc., Ventas, Inc. and Verizon Communications, Inc. were the largest headwinds for results.
The most significant positive impacts on returns were from stock selection in the real estate sector and an underweight in the healthcare sector. The outperformance in real estate was driven by GEO Group, Inc. and Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. The top three contributors to returns during the reporting period were all banks, including PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., U.S. Bancorp and BB&T Corp.

uses Los Angeles Capital's 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.
River Road: The Portfolio utilizes a fundamentally driven research process to identify attractive purchase candidates from an all cap universe of high yielding equity securities. The firm seeks to invest in well-managed, financially strong companies with high and growing dividends, targeting companies that are also trading at a meaningful discount to the Portfolio's assessed valuation. The stock selection process is complemented by a risk averse approach that employs balanced diversification and a structured sell discipline.
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, 2016 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.48% and 1.48%; Class C—2.26% and 2.26%; Class Y—1.23% and 1.23%; and Class P—1.24% and 1.24% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS 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, 2017 (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 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit www.ubs.com/us-mutualfundperformance."

Performance (Unaudited)
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned 0.18% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the "benchmark") gained 4.28%, and the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds category posted a median return of 3.43%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 147. 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.)

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited)2
Jackson Square
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Weak results in the consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors overshadowed strong performance in consumer staples and financials sectors.
In terms of individual holdings, the largest detractors from performance were Liberty Interactive Corporation QVC, Novo Nordisk A/S and TripAdvisor, Inc. Liberty Interactive Corporation QVC experienced significant headwinds in the choppy retail environment leading to earnings revisions and a falling share price. The company has maintained stable viewership, performed well in its international segments and has upside potential from the acquisition of Zulily. We, therefore, do not believe the company is in permanent decline and anticipate a return to growth.
The top contributors to performance included Symantec Corp., MasterCard, Inc. and Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. Symantec's acquisition of LifeLock, which the market has been positive on, should help to revive its consumer security segment. With the addition of LifeLock, Symantec can now offer consumers a robust product suite, ranging from identity protection to recovery services. Overall, we like the risk/reward profile of this business and believe that Symantec is uniquely positioned to be a leader in the ever-important cybersecurity market.

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.

Using a bottom-up approach, the Portfolio 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

Mar Vista Investment Partners
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Most of the underperformance occurred during the weeks following the November elections and in January 2017, when many of our competitively advantaged businesses underperformed the sharp rally by lower-quality cyclical businesses.
As is the nature of a highly concentrated strategy, our segment's performance can be decidedly out of step with the market when our types of businesses are not in favor. The following stocks, which the Portfolio has owned an average of five years and comprise almost one-third of our portion of the portfolio, each declined during the period: American Tower, TransDigm Group, Markel, Unilever and Allergan. We believe the earnings power for each of these businesses will be substantially larger and their stock prices will more appropriately reflect the value creation over our long time horizon. On the upside, our segment's investments in financials, technology and energy rallied during the period, led by our holdings in U.S. Bank, Berkshire Hathaway, Adobe, Facebook and Schlumberger.
Over time, the expected returns of our portion of the Portfolio should reflect two components: (1) the intrinsic value growth of our businesses and (2) the discount we are paying relative to fair value. There will be times when the sentiment pendulum swings towards optimism and portfolio returns exceed the underlying intrinsic value growth, and discounts to intrinsic value contract. Conversely, fear, skepticism and lower stock prices provide opportunities for both higher expected returns and less risk. Judging by our relatively narrow average discount to intrinsic value, we think the pendulum sits on the more optimistic side of the scale. Our 17% portfolio average discount to intrinsic value continues to be at the lower end of the last decade. In addition, the number of stocks that are trading below our estimate of fair value is smaller the norm.
Our team claims no special skill in predicting the market's direction. However, over time we believe a patient, high-conviction portfolio composed of competitively advantaged businesses with stock prices that represent an appropriate discount to intrinsic value will generate excess risk-adjusted returns.

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. It was generally a favorable environment for our style, save for the fourth quarter of 2016, when our segment's underexposure to the cyclical rally post-election weighed on performance. However, this was more than offset by strong performance in August and September 2016, as well as in January 2017.
Positive stock selection was the primary driver of results over the reporting period as a whole, with holdings in the consumer discretionary and financial

compared to the intrinsic value of the securities. The Portfolio also considers a company's operational efficiencies, management's plans for capital allocation and the company's shareholder orientation.
Mar Vista: The Portfolio employs a bottom-up approach to stock selection, seeking high quality growth companies whose stocks are trading at discounts to fair value. The Portfolio looks for companies with sustainable competitive advantages and opportunities to grow and reinvest capital at higher rates than their cost of capital. The Portfolio also seeks to invest in companies with management teams with a proven ability to allocate capital in ways that maximize shareholder value. The Portfolio's investment approach seeks to balance both the protection of capital as well as the appreciation potential of a stock.
J.P. Morgan: The Portfolio invests primarily in a focused portfolio of equity securities of large capitalization companies. The Portfolio 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 the Portfolio will invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies, it may invest in foreign securities, including depositary receipts. The Portfolio utilizes a

services sectors contributing the most. In contrast, stock selection in the producer durables and materials & processing sectors weighed on performance. From an individual stock level, overweight positions in Charles Schwab and Broadcom were the top individual contributors during the period. An underweight position in Apple and a position in Acuity Brands detracted from relative performance. With the exception of Acuity Brands, our portion of the Portfolio continues to hold positions in the securities mentioned above.
We continue 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 technology and financial services, which represent our largest overweight exposures. The largest underweight exposures in our portion of the Portfolio are consumer staples and producer durables.

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.
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 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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.

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited)2
Wells Capital Management (Formerly MetWest Capital)
During the time when we managed a portion of the Portfolio, from August 1, 2016 to October 18, 2016, our portion outperformed the benchmark. During the period, our sector weights, which are by-products of bottom-up security allocation decisions, were the primary drivers of our outperformance.
Security selection in the energy sector was the largest contributor to performance. In this sector, Encana Corp. added the most value. Encana's stock price rebounded shortly after our initial investment when Chief Executive Officer Doug Suttles quelled investors' fears during the company's quarterly earnings call. Mr. Suttles reiterated to investors that Encana would not issue equity, the company possessed assets that could be monetized and explained that almost all outstanding debt is long-dated. Additionally, management initiated cost cuts that generated significant savings, permitting Encana to operate within its cash flows. Over a long-term investment horizon, we believe Encana will benefit from continued focus on its core assets and monetization of non-core assets. Encana is no longer held by the Portfolio as, effective October 20, 2016, Wells Capital no longer serves as a subadvisor to the Portfolio. Elsewhere, an overweight in the top-performing energy sector, as well as underweights in the worst-performing real estate and utilities sectors, further enhanced relative results.
Conversely, stock selection in the information technology sector detracted the most from our portion of the Portfolio's performance. Within the sector,

VeriFone Systems, Inc. was among the largest detractors. Shares of VeriFone Systems have been under pressure as demand for new chip-card terminals has been declining, prompting the company to revise its revenue forecasts. Additionally, VeriFone Systems has faced increasing competitive pressure, with rivals taking market share by offering lower prices and more mobile options. The company is in the process of restructuring to streamline its operations and reduce costs, as well focus on new next-generation products and services in order to meet its customers' changing needs.

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, driven primarily by strong stock selection. Adding the most value were our segment's holdings in the financials, materials and industrial sectors, while selections within the healthcare and consumer discretionary sectors were a drag on performance. In addition, sector allocation contributed modestly to results during the reporting period.
The recent "fad" of investors' hunger for dividend yield and low volatility amid the protracted period of low interest rates challenged many fundamental investment philosophies such as ours. Flows into "Smart Beta" and various passive vehicles promising high dividend payouts and perceived safety proved to be headwinds. Our view is that stocks with these attributes have become very expensive and have created a classic market bubble. This view appeared to be validated with the beginning of an apparent reversal of these trends in the second half of 2016. Indeed, we have seen a powerful rotation in recent months in many cyclical areas, such as banks and other financials that benefit from higher interest rates and normalizing inflation trends.
One stock that outperformed was Voya Financial, Inc., a retirement, investment and life insurance company. The company recently posted strong earnings reports and provided a constructive outlook, supported by plans to achieve additional cost savings. The company also reaffirmed its longer-term return-on-equity goal, providing investors with a clear path to reaching its future profitability targets. The recent increase in interest rates was a key driver behind the recent share price appreciation throughout the life insurance sector, and Voya Financial's stock was no exception. From a valuation perspective, the company trades at a substantial discount to its book value and has ample upside on a sum-of-the-parts valuation basis. As such, we continue to hold our position in the company in our portion of the Portfolio.
Fitbit, Inc., a manufacturer of wireless-enabled wearable fitness devices, underperformed for the period. Our position was initiated in our portion of the Portfolio after the company beat second-quarter earnings expectations and management reiterated full-year guidance, driven by strong consumer demand for recent product launches. The fitness wearable category has grown significantly over the last few years and Fitbit has maintained a market-leading position and the largest community of activity-tracker users, con-

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

sistently gaining shelf space at Best Buy, Macy's and Target. However, the company reported a slight revenue miss and in-line earnings report for the third quarter of 2016, and cut full-year guidance. In acknowledgement of the deterioration in the earnings outlook and in accordance with our investment discipline, we sold our position at that time.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection issues, as well as a slight high-quality headwind, were the main reasons for our segment's underperformance. Stock selection in the financial services, healthcare and technology sectors detracted from performance during the period. Conversely, stock selection in the materials and processing sectors, along with an underweight in utilities, contributed to relative results.
The three stocks that were the largest detractors during the period were Syntel, Patterson and Corporate Executive Board. Syntel reported weak results, with sluggish end-market demand. Management commented that decision cycles continue to lengthen with persistent contract delays. Customer concentration has been an ongoing issue for the company and is a concern from the standpoint of long-term prospects and profitability. As such, we eliminated the position from our portion of the Portfolio in December 2016. For many years, Patterson and Sirona enjoyed a successful partnership, whereby Patterson was the exclusive distributor for Sirona's industry-leading CAD/CAM products. However, when the company reported results recently, they announced that the agreement has been terminated effective September 2017. This has created a large unknown for Patterson. Corporate Executive Board's stock has been weak over the past year, as results were more cyclical than expected and its Chief Executive Officer, Tom Monahan, announced that he is stepping down after 11 years at the helm. Despite the recent changes, we remain confident that the value of the company's products will be realized, resulting in strong product and customer growth over the long term. We sold Corporate Executive Board in January 2017, as the company announced that it was being acquired by Gartner, Inc. in a favorable cash-and-stock transaction.
The stocks that were the largest contributors during the period were Skyworks Solutions, Cass Information Systems and Bank of Hawaii. Skyworks Solutions' recent results benefited from stabilizing sales to Apple after some previous inventory missteps. The company has brought inventory back in line with historical standards and has made strides growing its business with Chinese players, as well as Samsung. The company is benefiting from overall radio frequency content growth in mobile devices. The company's broad markets business also showed solid growth over the last six months, although perhaps not fast enough to provide much needed meaningful revenue diversification. Shares of Cass Information Systems rose sharply following the US presidential election, driven by investor expectations of rising short-term interest rates, higher fuel prices and meaningful economic stimulus through tax reform, infrastructure spending and deregulation. The company remains a solid free cash flow generator, returning excess cash to shareholders in the form of regular cash dividends, opportunistic stock dividends and share repurchases. Bank of Hawaii generated a

tal, bottom-up research and utilizes a long-term focus that takes advantage of opportunities presented by short-term anomalies. The Portfolio views companies through the eyes of an "owner" and seeks to identify companies with sustainable business models, trading at a discount to its estimate of intrinsic value, and that possess value drivers to narrow the valuation gap over its investment horizon.
Huber: The Portfolio employs an in-depth, internal, 100% bottom-up investment process rooted in fundamental research and behavioral psychology, analyzing companies' financials to determine normalized earnings. A company's initial review seeks to differentiate value traps from value opportunities while the detailed review entails rigorous fundamental analysis at both the aggregate and segment levels. Security weights are determined by our assessment of the risk/reward profile relative to other investment opportunities. The Portfolio seek diversification while maintaining neutrality to macro-economic factors.

return on equity that was well above most mainland US banks. Its quarterly results were good throughout the reporting period, which helped move its shares higher. The stock has also benefited from expectations that the Trump administration will drastically reduce federal regulation and that the pace of Federal Reserve Board rate increases will accelerate, which could improve profitability for all banks.

Sapience
During the time when we managed a portion of the Portfolio, from October 20, 2016 to January 31, 2017, our portion slightly underperformed the benchmark. Our segment's exposure to cash and security selection in the consumer staples sector detracted the most from returns. Our cash exposure created a slight headwind as holding any cash in a strong market will create a drag on returns. While we are well aware of the impact cash may have on short-term results, we believe abandoning our valuation discipline would be much more detrimental to long-term investment performance. In the consumer staples sector, TreeHouse Foods, Inc. was the largest detractor. Its shares declined after management reported the company missed earnings, lowered guidance for the full year of 2016 and announced the departure of its Chief Operating Officer. Additionally, the company acquired a private-label business from ConAgra more than a year ago and the integration has proven to be more complex than anticipated. We continue to believe this acquisition will be beneficial to TreeHouse Foods once the integration is complete. Therefore, we believe these issues and their impact on the company's stock price are short-term.
On the positive side, stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector added the most value, with Pier 1 Imports, Inc. performing the best. During the reporting period, management announced results that were well ahead of expectations after several quarters of missed earnings. Taking advantage of this strength, we sold the position in Pier 1 in favor of better risk/reward opportunities.

We managed a portion of the Portfolio for a short period of time, from January 24, 2017 to January 31, 2017. Huber Capital Management employs a bottom-up investment process rooted in fundamental research and behavioral psychology, analyzing companies' financials to determine normalized earnings. Security weights are determined by our assessment of the risk/reward profile relative to other investment opportunities. For the reporting period, our portion of the Portfolio was overweight consumer discretionary and consumer staples, while underweight energy, financial services, health care, materials & processing, producer durables, technology, and utilities. We seek diversification while maintaining neutrality to macro-economic factors.

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 Portfolio and UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS 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, 2017 (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 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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.

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited)2
Riverbridge Partners
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector was the biggest contributor to results. One holding, Grand Canyon Education, an online provider of undergraduate and graduate degrees that is differentiated by its sizable traditional campus and strong academic reputation, performed well. This was due, in part, to expectations that for-profit education will benefit from reduced regulatory scrutiny under the incoming presidential administration. The financial sector also contributed to performance during the reporting period. While financials constitute a small weighting in our portion of the Portfolio, the strong returns of PRA Group, Inc. contributed to results. In addition, our lack of exposure to real estate investment trusts ("REITs") was beneficial. REITs do not meet our investment criteria due to their lack of unit growth and sensitivity to factors outside of management's control, such as interest rates and the fluctuations of the real estate market.
Stock selection within the industrials and information technology sectors detracted from performance. Since our founding, we have consistently invested in companies that we believe are able to increase their earnings power regardless of economic conditions. Within the industrial and information technology sectors, we look for companies with more stable and predictable growth patterns. During the reporting period, by contrast, and especially after the presidential election, market participants preferred companies with more cyclical characteristics within industries such as electronic equipment, semiconductors, airlines, construction & engineering, and machinery.
We do not alter our approach based on short-term expectations. Looking ahead, we will continue to seek high quality businesses featuring strong

Most importantly, we believe the leaders of our companies are adept at managing through the ever-changing global business climate.

LMCG Investments, LLC
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. As in prior periods, stock selection was the primary driver of our results. In particular, weakness in some key holdings in health services and some segments of the industrials sector were headwinds for our performance. On the positive side, stock selection was strong in the consumer discretionary and financials sectors.
The run-up to the US presidential election and the days following the election weighed on our healthcare holdings. This, in turn, muted the positive results we saw in other areas of our portion of the Portfolio. Companies in the healthcare services segment struggled on concerns about the impact of a proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Tenet Healthcare, athenahealth and Envision were examples of holdings that underperformed during the period. We sold Tenet Healthcare prior to the end of the reporting period. In industrials, professional services company TransUnion and electrical equipment manufacturer Acuity Brands weighed on performance. Our segment's underweight to the sector also hurt returns. However, our industrials underweight has decreased as we have found more opportunity in the sector in recent months.
In the consumer discretionary sector, our segment's largest holding as of the end of the reporting period, Nexstar Broadcasting, contributed to results. Its shares rose sharply and was the largest individual contributor to performance after posting solid fourth-quarter 2016 results and raising forward guidance. Security selection within financials, including banks SVB Financial and Western Alliance, also contributed meaningfully to results. Western Alliance is our largest bank holding and we believe it stands to benefit from the spike in interest rates, as higher interest rates provide bigger profit margins. Additionally, serious talk of corporate tax reform is very relevant to the industry, as banks are mostly full tax rate payers and their income is generated domestically.

Timpani Capital Management
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. For most of the period, cyclical value stocks, or stocks that are heavily tied to the general economy, significantly outperformed less economically sensitive secular growth stocks. This worked against our investment approach, which heavily weights secular growers and typically underweights cyclical companies.
Stock selection among most sectors was a drag on performance, whereas sector allocation, overall, did not meaningfully impact results. This broad-based sluggish stock selection is typical during stylistic selloffs like the one experienced during the six-month reporting period. Stock selection was the weakest within technology, materials & processing, and healthcare. The worst-performing individual holdings in our portion of the Portfolio were health

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

care company Ligand Pharmaceuticals, producer durables company Dycom Industries and technology company Gigamon.
The largest individual contributor in our portion of the Portfolio was health care company Heska Corp. It targets the growing animal health industry and is gaining market share due to an improved product offering and a new distribution model. Other contributors to relative results included technology company Coherent and producer durables companies MasTec and Quanta Services. Notable sector positions included an overweight in technology, where we see particularly strong fundamentals, and underweights in financial services and materials & processing.
Despite recent performance struggles, we are optimistic with our outlook. We believe in our investment process and remain focused on finding stocks with robust and sustainable growth profiles where growth is being underestimated. Recently, the market has not embraced these attributes. However, we are staying the course and believe the Portfolio's investors will be pleased in the long run.

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, 2016 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.25% and 1.25%; Class C—2.02% and 2.02%; Class Y—1.09% and 1.09%; 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS 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, 2017 (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 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS 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 of 0.25% annually.
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 of 0.25% and 0.75% annually, respectively.
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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited)2
Mondrian
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Stock selection within markets held back our returns, driven by specific holdings in Sweden, Spain and the Netherlands, including Ericsson, Iberdrola and Ahold. At the sector level, allocation between sectors was also a headwind for our returns, driven by underweight positions in the very strong financials and materials sectors. In addition, our segment's overweight positions in certain classically defensive sectors, such as utilities and telecommunication services, were negative for relative performance. Stock selection within sectors, however, contributed positively to relative returns, helped by strong returns from our holdings in the healthcare and industrials sectors.
Country allocation added slightly to relative returns, supported by underweight positions in the Australian and Danish equity markets, both of which lagged the benchmark in local currency terms. Currency allocation effects were approximately neutral for relative returns during the reporting period. While our portion of the Portfolio benefited from an underweight exposure to the weak Japanese yen, this was largely offset by an underweight position in the relatively strong Australian dollar.
The main highlights of the strategy being adopted for our portion of the Portfolio are an overweight position in select European markets; overweight positions in the telecommunication services, energy and utilities sectors, and underweight positions in the materials and financials sectors.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. During this six-month period, small-capitalization and value
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: The Portfolio 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

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited) – continued
segments of the MSCI EAFE Index dramatically outperformed the large-capitalization and growth segments. As a result, our high-quality, large capitalization and growth-oriented bias was at a disadvantage.
While the underlying companies whose securities make up our portion of the Portfolio performed well, market movements created a different effect. The main drivers of the MSCI EAFE Index's performance, from a sector perspective, were derived from strong gains in material and financial stocks, while healthcare was the largest detractor from performance. Therefore, our underweights in materials and financials stocks held back returns. Within the defensive sectors (utilities, consumer staples, healthcare and telecommunications) our overweight to leading health care companies lessened returns, while our underweight to poor performing consumer staples and utilities stocks was beneficial for relative results. Our two largest sector conviction overweights, namely healthcare and information technology, were additive to returns from a stock selection perspective.
Regionally, stock selection in Africa/Middle East and Latin America contributed to performance, while underweights in Asia/Pacific Basin and Europe detracted from performance despite the fact that the top five holdings by selection are from that region.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, with fundamental factor exposures and sector tilts both contributing to results. Within sectors, an overweight to basic materials and energy in Japan and the Pacific ex-Japan regions was the largest contributor to returns. An underweight to telecommunications in Europe also proved relatively beneficial. Financials rallied in the European and Pacific ex-Japan regions and, consequently, an underweight to the sector detracted from relative results. Companies with strong three-year price momentum underperformed globally, and a tilt away from these historical winners was the most significant contributor to relative returns.
Over the period, investors migrated from a more defensive posture to an optimistic outlook, favoring companies with greater volatility and increased financial risk. In turn, a general tilt toward such companies added to returns in most regions. Stocks with larger dividend yields were rewarded globally and, while a tilt toward these higher-yielding securities helped in Japan and the Pacific ex-Japan regions, a tilt away detracted in Europe. Additionally, investors in Japan embraced companies with larger earnings yields and an increased exposure to these companies bolstered performance. Large cap companies in the MSCI EAFE Index were favored in Japan and the Pacific ex-Japan regions, but not in Europe. Consequently, an increased exposure to smaller cap companies within the MSCI EAFE Index detracted from results in Japan and the Pacific ex-Japan regions, but added value in Europe. Within

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. The Portfolio uses a purchasing power parity approach to assess the value of individual currencies. Purchasing power parity attempts to identify the amount of goods and services that a dollar will buy in the United States, and compares that to the amount of a foreign currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in another country.
Chautauqua: The Portfolio 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 the Portfolio 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, the Portfolio has a long-term horizon.

countries, an overweight to New Zealand and an underweight to the UK added relative value, whereas an overweight to Finland and an underweight to the Netherlands detracted from relative performance.
At the end of the reporting period, our portion of the Portfolio exhibited tilts toward energy, financials and materials, and tilts away from healthcare, industrials and telecommunications. We exhibited lower price-to-book and price-to-earnings multiples, as well as a higher yield, relative to the benchmark. We also exhibited a higher beta and a lower-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 reporting period.
Investment process
(concluded)
Los Angeles Capital: The Portfolio employs a "long/short" or "130/30" equity strategy. The Portfolio 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. The Portfolio uses Los Angeles Capital's 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.
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, 2016 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.86% and 1.86%; Class C—2.65% and 2.65%; Class Y—1.56% and 1.56%; and Class P—1.58% and 1.58% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS 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, 2017 (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 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS 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 of 0.25% annually.
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 of 0.25% and 0.75% annually, respectively.
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.
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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Subadvisors' Comments (Unaudited)2
Mondrian
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Our overweight exposure to the telecommunication sector and underweight exposure to the financial and information technology ("IT") sectors negatively impacted relative performance. At the country level, underweights in China and Brazil, along with an overweight in Mexico, weighed on returns. Underperformance in China was a result of underweight exposure to the continuing strength of the IT sector, combined with weaker performance from our holdings in Jiangsu Expressway and Beijing Enterprises. These negatives were partially offset by the strong recovery of Sands China. In Brazil, we benefited from the strong performance of pulp and paper manufacturer Suzano. Conversely, our portion of the Portfolio was negatively impacted relative to the benchmark by an underweight exposure to the materials, energy and financial sectors, coupled with weak results from our holdings in Cielo and CCR. In Mexico, concern over the economic impact of Donald Trump's policies weighed on the performance of real estate investment trust Fibra Uno. An overweight exposure to the Philippines was a detractor from results, partially driven by telecommunication operator PLDT. It underperformed as the market digested the impact of the company's investment program on its margins and balance sheet. Gains from stock selection in India were the largest positive driver of our returns, due primarily to strong performance from oil producer Cairn India.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Mondrian: The Portfolio 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 divi-

strong earnings trends and low earnings volatility, along with concomitant higher valuations, detracted from performance in this environment. From a sector attribution perspective, our holdings in materials, energy and financials were significant detractors from results. Overweights to the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors also weighed on performance. These negative effects were partially mitigated by positive stock selection in information technology, along with underweights in the telecommunication services and utilities sectors. One of our top holdings for the period was NetEase, Inc., a China-based software & services company. Its share price was bolstered by solid operating trends that were evident in the company's earnings results.
Positioning adjustments were consistent with our efforts to mitigate valuation risk while emphasizing companies with improving fundamentals. From a sector perspective, this resulted in a reduction in the consumer staples sector, as higher valuation positions were reduced in the beverages, tobacco and the food/household/personal products industries. Our consumer discretionary exposure was also reduced, but remained overweight. These moves were offset by increases to energy and financials—which moved to overweight positions—and materials, which remained underweight. From a geographic perspective, Brazil experienced the largest weighting increase, moving to an overweight position on the addition of Petrobras. Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia and Argentina exposures were also increased, albeit to smaller extents. These increases were mostly offset by reductions in China and India. Within China, the reductions were primarily focused in the real estate, financials, information technology and telecommunications sectors. Within India, the reductions were primarily in the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors, although we maintained an overweight in the country overall.

LMCG Investments, LLC
Our portion of the Portfolio underperformed the benchmark during the reporting period. Prior to the US elections in November 2016, emerging markets were outperforming their US and developed market peers as macro concerns were more centered on developed markets given "Brexit" and the upcoming US presidential election. After the election, emerging markets weakened as the US dollar strengthened and the Federal Reserve Board raised interest rates in December 2016. Our process worked less well later in the period due to the rise in uncertainty and macro concerns in emerging markets.
Our overall stock selection model worked modestly well on average, but the effectiveness of its three major components (Market Dynamics, Earnings Quality and Valuation) varied widely. Throughout 2016, it was primarily a risk-on environment in the emerging markets. With this backdrop, investors tended to favor companies that have good Valuation versus those that have performed well and have high Price Momentum. During the period, we saw

dends 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. The Portfolio uses a purchasing power parity approach to assess the value of individual currencies. Purchasing power parity attempts to identify the amount of goods and services that a dollar will buy in the United States, and compares that to the amount of a foreign currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in another country.
William Blair: The Portfolio 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. The Portfolio'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, the Portfolio undertakes detailed fundamental analysis of these companies, focusing attention on areas where short- to intermediate-term earnings trends and over-

this to be true as our Market Dynamics component, which includes Price Momentum as well as Estimate Revision, did not work well, while Valuation was most effective. As part of our core investment process, we look for stocks that have Valuation, but also have a catalyst such as Price Momentum or Estimate Revision catalyst. This approach did not work well, which made it more difficult for the strategy to add value.
Stock selection added modestly to performance during the six-month period. Positive stock selection, particularly in India, Thailand and Brazil, was partially offset by negative stock selection in Mexico, South Africa and Taiwan. Country allocation detracted slightly from performance, due to an underweight position in Russia. In terms of sectors, positive stock selection in energy, financials and consumer discretionary was partially offset by negative selections in utilities. Sector allocation was a slight drag on relative performance for the reporting period, largely driven by an underweight in financials and an overweight in real estate.

Investment process
(concluded)
all 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: The Portfolio uses a bottom-up quantitative approach to investing in emerging markets equity securities. Inefficiencies in the market create opportunities, and the Portfolio 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. The Portfolio's stock selection model groups factors used to select investments into three major categories: market dynamics, value and quality.
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, 2016 prospectuses, supplemented from time to time, were as follows: Class A—1.90% and 1.75%; Class C—2.65% and 2.50%; Class Y—1.63% and 1.50%; and Class P—1.69% and 1.50% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS 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, 2017 (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—1.75%; Class C—2.50%; Class Y—1.50%; and Class P—1.50% The Portfolio has agreed to repay UBS 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 and that UBS AM has not waived the right to do so. 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.

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.
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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit www.ubs.com/us-mutualfundperformance.

Performance (Unaudited)
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Portfolio's Class P shares returned -5.21% before the deduction of the maximum PACE Select program fee.1 In comparison, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (the "benchmark") returned -8.12%, while the Lipper Global Real Estate Funds category posted a median return of -8.14%. (Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown in the "Performance at a glance" table on page 199. 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.
Advisor's comments (Unaudited)2
The Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period, driven by both stock selection and allocation effects. The office sector was the leading contributor to performance due to an overweight exposure and positive stock selection. Stock selection within the industrial sector also contributed to results, as did positive stock selection and overweight exposure to the hotel sector. Conversely, the "specialty" and healthcare sectors were the largest detractors from results, both driven by stock selection.
On a regional basis, the US was the leading contributor to performance, driven by stock selection. Stock selection and an overweight allocation to Singapore were also beneficial. The UK was the largest regional detractor, due to stock selection. An underweight exposure in Canada also moderately detracted from relative returns as well.
By security, a non-benchmark position in Global Logistic Properties Limited (industrial, Singapore) was the leading contributor to performance. An overweight exposure to Wharf Holdings Ltd. (diversified, Hong Kong) also contributed to results, as did non-benchmark exposure to Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (hotel, US).
Conversely, non-benchmark holding Brookdale Senior Living, Inc. (healthcare, US) was the leading detractor from performance during the reporting period. Our lack of exposure to Sumitomo Realty & Development Co., Ltd. (office, Japan), which is held by Portfolio's benchmark, was an additional detractor relative to the benchmark, along with an overweight allocation to Intu Properties PLC (retail, UK).
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Investment Manager:
UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM")

UBS AM: Mabel Lung, CFA, Gina Toth, CFA, Fred Lee, CFA and Diana To

Objective:
Total Return
Investment process:
The Portfolio 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. The Portfolio utilizes a fundamental, bottom-up, value-based stock selection methodology.
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.

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, 2016 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—1.65% and 1.45%; Class C—2.26% and 2.20%; Class Y—1.50% and 1.20%; and Class P—1.59% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS 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, 2017 (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 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 and that UBS AM has not waived the right to do so. 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS 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 of 0.25% annually.
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 of 0.25% and 0.75% annually, respectively.
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 measure the stock performance of companies engaged in special real estate activities of the North American, European and Asian real estate markets. Relevant real estate activities are defined as the ownership, trading and development of income-producing real estate. 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited)2
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.
Overall, characteristic positioning was favorable, which led to positive stock selection. Specifically, our overweight positioning to Valuation (earnings to price and sales to price) and underweight position to Growth (market growth) helped relative results. This was slightly offset by an emphasis to Quality (return on assets) which detracted during the reporting period.
An emphasis on low-beta stocks negatively impacted performance during the period, as high beta securities significantly outperformed low-beta securities. (Beta is a measure of volatility or risk relative to the market as a whole.)
During the period, our strategy experienced mixed results across regions. For example, while an overweight position to Canada was a modest boost to
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.

performance, stock selection within the country and the US negatively impacted results. Sector positioning was negative, driven by underweight positions to energy and financials. This was somewhat offset by strong security selection within healthcare and financials.
Our top-performing equities were long positions in US-based Prudential Financial and Swiss-based health care company Actelion Ltd.

First Quadrant
Our portion of the Portfolio produced a positive absolute return during the reporting period. The strategy outperformed our benchmark in many different market environments over the period, nimbly navigating oscillations in investor risk appetite. The strategy reached new performance highs, benefiting from November's spike in risk appetite and divergence between performance of bond and equity markets, which followed the US presidential election and the Federal Reserve Board's interest rate hike. The strategy continued to deliver positive returns at the start of 2017, as political and economic policy developments veered rapidly between the walls of speculation, posturing and fact.
The latter part of the reporting period showed a marked reversal in the performance of macroeconomic factors. In particular, Fair Value, which establishes whether a currency is inexpensive or overpriced measured against the world currency basket, retraced some of its earlier gains, as speculation began to dominate markets. The investment flows and behavioral biases factors were positioned well for this change in the relative behavior of equities and bonds, and the resulting performance more than offset losses due to the macroeconomic factors.
For the reporting period as a whole, most currencies added value, with the strongest performance coming from long positions in the New Zealand dollar and Japanese yen, while a long position in the Canadian dollar and a short position in the Norwegian krone modestly detracted from results. We believe the strategy's overall strong currency performance reflects our multi-faceted strategy and our ability to benefit in varying market environments. At the end of the reporting period, we held long positions in the Canadian dollar and the euro against a broader set of short positions in the Scandinavian currencies, the Singapore dollar, British pound, Australian dollar and Japanese yen.
As a general rule, derivatives are the primary instrument used to implement our strategy. Specifically, currency forwards are used to gain economic exposure. Overall, the liquidity and low transaction cost of this instrument offers the investment team the ability to be more nimble and to implement our strategy at a lower cost.

Investment process:
Analytic Investors: The Portfolio primarily employs a long/short global equity strategy. This strategy is implemented by taking long and short positions of equity securities publicly traded in the United States and in foreign markets both by direct equity investment and through derivatives. The Portfolio's strategy may also employ the use of derivatives, such as swaps, futures, non-deliverable forwards ("NDFs"), and forward contracts.
First Quadrant: The Portfolio employs a top-down macro-driven investment strategy that seeks to identify and profit from changes in the relative strength of countries through exposure to currency markets. The strategy explicitly aims to provide positive returns, low correlation to other investments, and the potential to deliver a right-skewed distribution of returns ("returns when you need them most"). The strategy seeks to profit by exploiting a diverse set of market inefficiencies organized into three broad categories: Macroeconomic, Investment

Standard Life Investments
The largest contributors to performance during the reporting period were long equity and corporate fixed income positions. Equities rebounded from the sharp fall experienced after the surprising outcome of the UK European Union referendum ("Brexit") and continued to respond positively to improving economic growth indicators. This was positive for our European equity strategy among other long equity positions. Our US bank equities versus Consumer Staples strategy was the best-performing strategy during the period and was implemented through equities and total return swaps. Our corporate fixed income strategies were also positive due to favorable economic conditions. Of our corporate fixed income strategies, High Yield Credit was the best performing. Outperformance of small caps in a rising market led to US large cap equities versus small cap equities and US technology equities versus small cap positions detracting from performance. Both strategies were implemented through futures and total return swaps and both were closed during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Interest rate positions and global real estate investment trusts ("REITs") detracted from performance. UK gilts led the decline amid fears of a disruptive exit from the European Union, a weaker currency feeding into higher inflation, and the release of surprisingly positive economic data in the third quarter of 2016. Consequently, our UK versus German duration position detracted from performance. Other detractors included our Australian forward-start interest rates and the US butterfly, which was closed in August 2016. Our global REITs strategy also came under pressure after REITs, which are often viewed as bond proxies because of their ability to offer high dividend yields, retreated as bond yields increased and bond prices fell. The US Real versus Nominal steepener was one of the most significantly positive strategies. Our interest rate positions were implemented using bond futures and interest rate swaps. The global REITs position is implemented with physical REITs.
Currency positions were also a positive contributor, in part due to currency positions benefiting from a strengthening US dollar. We were long the US dollar in three strategies, and the strongest performer of those was the US dollar versus the British pound. The US dollar had its best performance after Donald Trump's surprise win in the US presidential election. The market viewed that his election would shift fiscal policy toward stimulus (tax cuts and infrastructure spending), providing a boost to US economic growth. The Indian rupee remained in favor as the Reserve Bank of India and India's national government have gained credibility by reducing the country's current account deficit and by introducing an inflation target. Consequently, our long Indian rupee versus Swiss franc position added to returns. The Japanese yen versus South Korean won strategy was one of the main detractors from performance. All currency strategies are implemented using foreign-exchange forwards.
We use derivatives extensively to implement our fundamental strategy, ensuring a wide range of diverse sources of return are accessible at all times. As

Standard Life Investments: The Portfolio 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. The Portfolio 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. The Portfolio 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: The Portfolio 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 class-

such, their overall impact on performance is varied and linked to the strategies within which they are implemented.
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 strategy generated a negative absolute return during the reporting period. Reversals in long-term trends, particularly in fixed income and currency markets, drove losses, while short-term and over-extended signals generally benefited results. All three asset classes detracted from performance as markets broadly experienced reversals during the reporting period.
The strategy entered the reporting period positioned long fixed income markets and long the Japanese yen versus the US dollar. In equities, the strategy entered the period net long, driven by short-term signals, while longer-term signals were neutrally positioned. This positioning reflected the context of negative sentiment during the first half of 2016 through the "Brexit" vote in the UK. It also reflected the shorter-term reversals and rallies in equities early in the second half of 2016. During the period, markets reversed as fallout from Brexit failed to materialize and these reversals accelerated after the US election. As fixed income markets began to sell off early in the period and the US dollar began to strengthen, short-term trends shifted positioning to being short fixed income and long the US dollar, while long-term signals maintained opposite positioning. Post-election market dynamics, therefore, benefited short-term signals and hurt long-term signals. The strategy ended the period net long equities, short fixed income and slightly long the US dollar.
Most positions in the strategy are implemented through derivative instruments because we believe derivatives offer the most liquid, lowest cost and efficient way to gain diversified exposure across asset classes. The strategy uses global developed and emerging market exchange-traded futures, futures-related instruments, forward contracts and swaps across equities, fixed income and currencies. The strategy is, with the exception of cash holdings, exclusively implemented via derivative instruments. As a result, performance of the strategy is primarily driven by the performance of derivatives-based positions.
UBS Asset Management
During the reporting period, our portion of the Portfolio was invested in three third-party funds: Scout Unconstrained Bond Fund, AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund and Natixis ASG Managed Futures Strategy. We underperformed our benchmark, primarily driven by Natixis ASG Managed Futures. In contrast, our holdings in Scout Unconstrained Bond Fund and AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund contributed to returns.

es: equities, fixed income and currencies. The Portfolio's Managed Futures strategy seeks to generate returns that are uncorrelated to traditional asset classes and may improve portfolio diversification.
UBS AM: The Portfolio 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 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 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: The Portfolio 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 favorable valuation. The short positions generally include a selection of liquid large cap companies,

across all asset classes. Choppy markets tend to be challenging for trend-following strategies since there is not enough time to establish a steady trend before a reversal. In general, both short- and longer-term trend signals failed to add value, although longer-term trends performed better. Positions in commodities, currencies and fixed income detracted the most. Equities provided some positive returns but were an insufficient offset. AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund contributed to returns, primarily through exposure to the value factor, particularly in equities. Exposure to defensive and momentum style factors, however, detracted from performance. Stocks and industries were the largest contributors by asset group, with equity indices being the largest detractors, mostly due to short positions in certain European indices. Scout Unconstrained Bond Fund added value over the period, primarily through active duration positioning and modest credit exposure.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.
Sirios Capital Management
Our portion of the Portfolio outperformed the HFRX Equity Hedge Index ("Index") during the reporting period. We outperformed the Index in four of the six months during the period (August, November, December 2016 and January 2017) and underperformed the other two months (September and October 2016). Long positions contributed to absolute performance, while short positions detracted from absolute performance during the period. The technology/telecommunications, financials/real estate and consumer sectors were the most significant contributors to performance, with the energy/industrials sector also providing a modest positive contribution. In contrast, the healthcare sector detracted from performance during the period.
The most significant individual long contributors to performance were Bank of America, Western Digital, NetApp, Time Warner Inc. and Bank of the Ozarks. The largest long detractors were Allergan, Bristol Myers Squibb, JCDecaux, Constellation Brands and Acadia Healthcare. Our long position in Allergan was sold during the fourth quarter of 2016 on the expectation that it would lose exclusivity earlier than previously expected on several drugs. In addition, the company exhibited disappointing sales trends in its legacy products. Our long position in Bristol Myers Squibb was sold during the fourth quarter of 2016. This was based on a reassessment of the company's earnings power in response to the failure of its pivotal first line lung cancer trial. Our long position in JCDecaux was sold during the fourth quarter of 2016 after advertising in China declined and the "Brexit" vote stalled growth in Europe, its largest market. Our long position in Acadia Healthcare was sold during the fourth quarter of 2016. This decision was driven by concerns over moderating in-patient psychiatric demand trends, combined with high financial leverage. Constellation Brands remained a significant position in our portion of the Portfolio as of the end of the reporting period.
We had net equity exposure of 70% as of January 31, 2017, with a focus on US domestically-driven companies. Net exposure was balanced across the consumer (27%), technology/telecommunications (21%) and financials/real

After evaluating these ideas, the Portfolio decides how to implement a select number of them in investment strategies within the portfolio in light of the fund's objectives. Aviva Investors believes multi-strategy investing provides many ways to reflect ideas more precisely than is possible in traditional funds.
PCJ follows a bottom-up fundamental, independent research process that focuses on high conviction ideas and seeks to extract alpha from long and short positions. The fund invests in Canadian and US listed securities diversified across sectors and market capitalizations to seek to construct a market neutral, absolute return strategy with low volatility and correlation to broader markets within a disciplined risk management framework.
MCG identifies investment opportunities through the application of both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Both approaches utilize non-deliverable currency forwards as part of the Portfolio's investment strategy.

estate (21%) sectors, with more modest positive net exposure to the healthcare (+5%) and energy/industrials (+3%) sectors. Our 10 largest long positions were Sherwin-Williams, Time Warner Inc., Bank of America, Western Digital, NetApp, Constellation Brands, Becton Dickinson, Affiliated Managers Group, J.P. Morgan and FedEx.
We generally use forward currency contracts to hedge the currency exposure on non-US positions. The currency hedges did not contribute meaningfully to performance during this period.
Aviva Investors
Our largest contributors to performance during the reporting period benefited from a rise in market-based measures of inflation, tighter US credit spreads and a steeper US interest rate curve. The specific strategies included two opportunistic strategies and one market return strategy. These were long US inflation, implemented via Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") and futures, long US high yield debt implemented via credit derivatives, and a strategy benefiting from steepening in the US yield curve via forward interest rate swaps.
The largest detractors from performance were adversely impacted by lower equity volatility in European equities and losses in emerging market duration positions. These strategies included one risk-reducing strategy and two market return strategies within our portion of the Portfolio. These were long European equity volatility via variance swaps, long Polish rates via government bonds and long Israeli rates via forward interest rate swaps.
Globally, developed and emerging market equities have broadly improved. Additionally, prospective increases in fiscal stimulus, as central banks evaluate the limited impact of additional monetary policy, served to enhance the outlook for higher inflation. Accompanied by constructive economic indicators and rising commodity prices, the increased potential for a worldwide reflationary environment resulted in higher global bond yields and steeper interest rate curves. The strength of the US dollar was aided by the US Federal Reserve Board's expectation for three further interest rate increases in 2017. Consequently, the US dollar should be supported versus developed market currencies as central bank monetary policies diverge and interest rate differentials grow larger.
There is significant use of derivatives in the Fund. Derivative use is relied upon for risk management and efficient implementation purposes in our portion of the Portfolio.
PCJ Investment Counsel Ltd.
Our portion of the Portfolio generated a negative absolute return during the reporting period. We were negatively impacted by our positioning in the consumer sectors, with a long bias in consumer staples and a short bias in consumer discretionary. Specifically within the consumer staples sector, shares of Cott Corp. declined following analyst revisions which put pressure on its valuation. Our short basket of consumer discretionary companies in the restaurant, department store and apparel industries was a headwind for results, as they advanced during the period. This was especially the case after the Republican victory, as investors quickly discounted the effects of fiscal stimulus, looser regulations, lower wage pressure and lower corporate tax rates. Within the materials sector, several short positions that hedge our high conviction long ideas detracted from performance. Furthermore, Canadian forestry, a sector we have been invested in for several years, has been the subject of a long-standing trade dispute between Canada and the US. The most recent 10-year agreement recently expired and the US Department of Commerce is currently evaluating duty levels. Uncertainty regarding the trade file has weighed on the sector's valuations, which have been further weakened by the Republican victory. We expect that clarity around the levels of duties will bring investor attention back to the strong fundamentals and provide a catalyst to these stocks. Lastly, several of our financial services positions performed well against the backdrop of deregulation and net interest margin expansion.
Derivatives were not used during the reporting period.

Subadvisors' comments (Unaudited) – concluded
Principal Global Investors
We began managing a portion of the Portfolio on December 19, 2016. From that day through January 31, 2017, we identified investment opportunities through the application of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Both the quantitative and qualitative approaches utilize non-deliverable currency forwards as part of our investment strategy. These derivatives detracted from results during the reporting period. For the short period, when we managed a portion of the Portfolio we generated a negative absolute return. The main detractor from performance was our short position in the euro. This was based on our forecast of the outperformance of the US economy over the European economy in the months ahead. The main contributor to performance was our long position in the Australian dollar, based primarily on Australia's favorable interest rate differentials.
As stated previously, non-deliverable currency forwards were used during the reporting period and, overall, they detracted from 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, 2016 prospectuses, were as follows: Class A—2.10% and 2.01%; Class C—2.83% and 2.74%; Class Y—1.77% and 1.68%; and Class P—1.85% and 1.76% 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 Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS 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, 2017 (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 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 AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS 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 of 0.25% annually.
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 of 0.25% and 0.75% annually, respectively.
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 Bloomberg 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 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

1 Security, or portion thereof, pledged as collateral for investments sold short, written options, futures and/or swap agreements.
2 Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.
3 Security was purchased pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, which exempts from registration securities offered and sold outside of the United States. Such a security cannot be sold in the United States without either an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, or pursuant to an exemption from registration.
4 Variable or floating rate security. The interest rate shown is the current rate at the period end and changes periodically.
5 Perpetual investment. Date shown reflects the next call date.
6 Step bond—coupon rate increases in increments to maturity. The rate disclosed is the rate at the period end; the maturity date disclosed is the ultimate maturity date.
7 Rate shown is the discount rate at the date of purchase unless otherwise noted.
8 Illiquid investment at the period end.
9 Payments made or received are based on the notional amount.
10 If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced obligation 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 obligation.
11 If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund 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 obligation 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 obligation. 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 or other credit event occurring 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.

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

Understanding your Portfolio's expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable), including sales charges (loads), or ongoing program fees; and (2) ongoing Portfolio costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees (if applicable); and other Portfolio expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, August 1, 2016 to January 31, 2017.
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.

The figures do not include program fees; results would be lower if these fees were included. The investment return for period of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions.
3 In August 2013, UBS AM made a voluntary cash payment of $2,340 to the Portfolio 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 credit crisis of 2008. Payment from investment advisor had no impact on the Portfolio's total investment return and represents less than $0.0005 per share.
4 Annualized.

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

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

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

The figures do not include any applicable sales charges, redemption fees or program fees; results would be lower if they were included. Total investment return for the period of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or the redemption of Portfolio shares.

Organization and significant accounting policies
PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), currently offering multiple series representing separate investment portfolios. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized 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 at par value of $0.001 per share.
The Trust has fifteen series available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies: PACE Government 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 Global Fixed Income Investments (formerly, 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 for purposes of the 1940 Act.
UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") serves as the investment manager and administrator for the Portfolios and also as the investment advisor for PACE Government Money Market Investments and a portion of PACE Alternative Strategies Investments' assets. Subject to the approval and oversight of the Portfolios' Board of Trustees (the "Board"), UBS AM selects and oversees other investment subadvisors, who provide advisory services for the other Portfolios. UBS Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS AM (US)") serves as principal underwriter for the Portfolios. UBS AM and UBS AM (US) are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of UBS Group AG. UBS Group AG is an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. UBS Group AG operates in many areas of the financial services industry.
With the exception of PACE Government 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 and certain other advisory programs offered through select sponsors, except that PACE Government 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 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 any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
PACE Government Money Market Investments attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. There is no assurance, however, that the Portfolio will be able 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. The Portfolio has adopted a policy to operate as a "government money market fund" and as such the Portfolio is permitted to seek to maintain a stable price per share. In addition, by operating as a "government money market fund", the Portfolio is exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee and/or temporary redemption gates. While the Portfolio's Board may elect to subject the Portfolio to liquidity fee and gate requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.
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.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"). The update provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the disclosures in the financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
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 and expense are 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.
Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital are determined in accordance with US 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.
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 and sales of investment securities and 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
The Portfolios do not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in the market prices of securities. However, the Portfolios do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities 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.
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 some Portfolios in the Trust invest.
Small capitalization ("small cap") companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization ("large cap") 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 large cap companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in large cap 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.
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.
Investments in bonds with ratings of BB (Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC or Fitch Ratings, Inc.) 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.
Valuation of investments
Each Portfolio generally 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). The NYSE normally is not open, and the Portfolios do not price their shares, on most national holidays and Good Friday. To the extent that a Portfolio's assets are traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is not open, the value of a Portfolio's assets may be affected on those days. 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 generally will still be calculated as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The time at which a Portfolio calculates its net asset value and until which purchase, sale or exchange orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the SEC.
Under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, PACE Government Money Market Investments has adopted a policy to operate as a "government money market fund". Under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, a "government money market fund" invests 99.5% or more of its total assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully (i.e., collateralized by cash and/or government securities). As a "government money market fund", PACE Government Money Market Investments values its investments at amortized cost unless the Fund's Board determines that this does not represent fair value. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of the securities held by the Fund is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.

Each Portfolio (other than PACE Government Money Market Investments) calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio investments. 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. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the investment or similar investments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. 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 normally are valued at the market closing price, the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. Investments listed on foreign stock exchanges may be fair valued based on significant events that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign markets. 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 AM. 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. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the NYSE.
Certain investments in which the Portfolios invest are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, will not be reflected in a Portfolio's net asset value. However, if any of the Portfolios determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Portfolio's investments, the Portfolio may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what is believed to be the fair value of these investments as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.
Certain Portfolios 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. The systematic fair valuation model may use calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. If an investment is valued at "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 securities being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair valuation hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, are disclosed near the end of each Portfolio's Portfolio of investments.
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, Fair Value Measurement, investments in investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value.
All investments quoted in foreign currencies are 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.
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.

OTC swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. Centrally cleared swaps are valued using prices from the counterparty clearing houses.
The Board has delegated to the Equities, Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee ("VC") (formerly UBS AM Global Valuation Committee or GVC) the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Portfolios' portfolio holdings. The VC is comprised of representatives of management. The VC 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 VC, 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 VC 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.
The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign investments under some circumstances, 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. The need to fair value a Portfolio's portfolio investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic investments, and when a security that is subject to a trading limit or collar on the exchange or market on which it is primarily traded reaches the "limit up" or "limit down" price and no trading has taken place at that price. 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 investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is 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 a fair value pricing service.
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.
A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of each Portfolio's Portfolio of investments.
Investments
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 their 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.
302

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including a possible decline in the market value of the underlying obligations. If their value becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon repurchase of the obligations and the price that was paid by a Portfolio upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. 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 intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM and the applicable subadvisor to present minimal credit risks.
Each Portfolio may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other Portfolios managed, advised or subadvised by UBS AM in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to Section 17(d) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder. Under certain circumstances, the Portfolios may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Portfolios potentially exposed to a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.
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. At the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no reverse repurchase agreements outstanding.
Securities traded on to-be-announced basis—Certain Portfolios may from time to time purchase, or short sell, 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 securities. 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.
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
303
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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 period ended January 31, 2017, only PACE Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed Income Investments and PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments utilized treasury roll transactions.
The tables below represents the remaining contractual maturity as of January 31, 2017, of the treasury roll transactions accounted for as secured borrowings.

Mortgage-backed securities—Certain Portfolios may invest in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), representing direct or indirect interests in pools of underlying mortgage loans that are secured by real property. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid.
The timely payment of principal and interest (but not the market value) on MBS issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (formally known as the Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA) is backed by Ginnie Mae and the full faith and credit of the US government. Obligations issued by Fannie Mae (formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association or FNMA) and Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or FHLMC) are historically supported only by the credit of the issuer, but currently are guaranteed by the US government in connection with such agencies being placed temporarily into conservatorship by the US government.
Some MBS are sponsored or issued by private entities. Payments of principal and interest (but not the market value) of such private MBS may be supported by pools of mortgage loans or other MBS that are guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the US government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any government guarantee of the underlying mortgage assets but with some form of non-government credit enhancement.
Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO") are a type of MBS. A CMO is a debt security that may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. The mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities are divided into classes or tranches with each class having its own characteristics. Investors typically receive payments out of the interest and principal on the underlying mortgages. The portions of these payments that investors receive, as well as the priority of their rights to receive payments, are determined by the specific terms of the CMO class.
The yield characteristics of MBS differ from those of traditional debt securities. Among the major differences are that interest and principal payments are made more frequently, usually monthly, and that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying mortgage loans or other obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. Prepayments
304
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
on a pool of mortgage loans are influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors. Generally, prepayments on fixed-rate mortgage loans will increase during a period of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. Certain classes of CMOs and other MBS are structured in a manner that makes them extremely sensitive to changes in prepayment rates. Such classes include interest-only ("IO") and principal-only ("PO") classes. IOs are entitled to receive all or a portion of the interest, but none (or only a nominal amount) of the principal payments, from the underlying mortgage assets. If the mortgage assets underlying an IO experience greater than anticipated principal prepayments, then the total amount of interest payments allocable to the IO class, and therefore the yield to investors, generally will be reduced. Conversely, PO classes are entitled to receive all or a portion of the principal payments, but none of the interest, from the underlying mortgage assets. PO classes are purchased at substantial discounts from par, and the yield to investors will be reduced if principal payments are slower than expected.
Asset-backed securities—Certain Portfolios may invest in asset-backed securities ("ABS"), representing interests in pools of certain types of underlying installment loans, home equity loans, leases of various types of real and personal property and receivables from revolving lines of credit (credit cards). Such assets are securitized through the use of trusts or special purpose corporations. The yield characteristics of ABS differ from those of traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. ABS may decrease in value as a result of increases in interest rates and may benefit less than other fixed-income securities from declining interest rates because of the risk of prepayment.
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 subadvisor determines that the selling Lender is creditworthy. When a Portfolio purchases Assignments from Lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the Loan. In an Assignment, the Portfolio is entitled to receive payments directly from the borrower and, therefore, does not depend on the selling bank to pass these payments onto the Portfolio. However, because Assignments are arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and assignors, the rights and obligations acquired by a Portfolio as the purchaser of an Assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning Lender.
Short sales "against the box"—Each Portfolio (other than PACE Government Money Market Investments and PACE Municipal Fixed Income Investments) may engage in short sale transactions 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"). A Portfolio might make a short sale "against the box" to hedge against market risks when its subadvisor 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.
The Portfolio must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. 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 appreciation or depreciation on the Statement of operations. Any loss in the Portfolio's long position after the short sale
305
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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. 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 incurs transaction costs, including dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expense, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales "against the box". These dividends and interest are booked as an expense or liability to the Portfolio.
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 Large Co Value Equity Investments, PACE International 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), in anticipation of a decline in the security's price.
The Portfolio must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. 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 appreciation or depreciation on the Statement of operations. The Portfolio will realize 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 the Portfolio will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those same dates. Each Portfolio segregates collateral, consisting of cash or liquid assets, sufficient to collateralize the market value of the investments sold short. Each Portfolio incurs transaction costs, including dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expenses in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales. These dividends and interest are booked as an expense or liability to the Portfolio.
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. The Portfolio's investments held long could also decline in value at the same time the value of the investment sold short increases, thereby increasing the Portfolio's potential for loss. There is also the risk that the counterparty to a short sale transaction may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Portfolio. In addition, PACE Large Co Value Equity Investments and PACE International Equity Investments may invest the proceeds received upon the initial sale of the security, resulting in leverage and increasing each Portfolio's return and loss potential. PACE Large Co Value Equity Investments and PACE International Equity Investments may also engage in short sale transactions that are effected through their custodian and may deliver cash received in connection with its securities lending activity to the custodian as collateral to secure the short sale transactions.
For the period ended January 31, 2017, PACE Global Real Estate Securities Investments did not engage in uncovered short sale transactions.
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 in each Portfolio's portfolio footnotes.
Derivative instruments
Purchased options—Certain Portfolios may purchase put and call options, including, but not limited to, options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies, options on futures contracts and options on swap agreements (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument.
306
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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. Purchased options are shown as portfolio holdings within the Portfolio of investments and are included in the Statement of assets and liabilities in investments, at value.
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.
Option writing—Certain Portfolios may write (sell) put and call options, including, but not limited to, options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies, options on futures contracts and options on swap agreements (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains.
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 a 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 a 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 a 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, a Portfolio bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by 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. Maximum payout amounts could be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained via the execution of a payout event. At January 31, 2017, PACE Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed Income Investments, Intermediate Fixed Income Investments and PACE Strategic Fixed Income Investments had a maximum payout amounts of approximately $12,133,100, $9,855,949 and $14,547,600, respectively, relating to written put option contracts.
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, either as a hedge or to enhance income or realized gains. Generally, a futures contract is a standard binding agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying reference asset, such as a specific security or currency, at a specified price at a specified later date.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Portfolio is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or US 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 a Portfolio, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures
307
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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 appreciation or depreciation 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.
Using futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that a Portfolio will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.
Forward foreign currency contracts—Certain Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as part of their investment objective, for purposes of risk management or to hedge the US dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. Generally, a forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency contracts are settled with the counterparty in US dollars, or another fully convertible currency, without the physical delivery of foreign currency.
Fluctuations in the value of open forward foreign currency contracts are recorded daily for book purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation 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 been sold or matured.
Risks may arise upon entering into forward foreign currency 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.
Swap agreements—Certain Portfolios may engage in swap agreements, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit default, total return and variance swap agreements. A Portfolio expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or to hedge a portion of the portfolio's duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Portfolio anticipates purchasing at a later date, to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible or in an attempt to enhance income or gains.
The Portfolios accrue for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap agreements. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements.
Certain Portfolios may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect themselves from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.
Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default of a security or other credit event of the referenced obligation. As a buyer, the Portfolio would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Portfolio would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a default or credit event. If no default or credit event occurs, the Portfolio will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract.
308
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
However, if a default or a credit event does occur, the Portfolio typically would receive full notional value for the referenced 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 default or 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 would pay full notional value for the referenced obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swap agreements may involve greater risks than if the Portfolio had invested in the referenced 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 swap agreements 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 swap agreements on credit 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 market 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 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). A Portfolio may use credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market 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 the period end for which a Portfolio is the seller of protection are disclosed under the sections "Credit default swap agreements on credit indices—sell protection" and "Credit default swap agreements 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 agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. 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, respectively. Total return swap agreements are marked-to-market daily, and the change,
309
PACE Select Advisors Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Total return swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and the risk that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
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 realized price variance of the underlying asset 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.
The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If a Portfolio's subadviser is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Portfolio will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. OTC swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement 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.
Certain clearinghouses offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, such as interest rate and credit default swap agreements. Centrally cleared swap agreements must be transacted through a futures commission merchant ("FCM") and cleared through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty. The performance of a centrally cleared swap transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing 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. Centrally cleared swap agreements, if any, are reported on the Statement of assets and liabilities based on variation margin received or paid, if any.
Derivatives by underlying risk—Investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations. Under US GAAP, investment companies do not qualify for hedge accounting. 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 US GAAP.
The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Portfolio's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the period ended January 31, 2017.
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.

Offsetting of certain derivatives—The Portfolios typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements") or similar 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. The Statement of assets and liabilities is presented gross of any netting.

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 Government Money Market Investments so that BNY Mellon would correspondingly reduce the fees it would have charged to that Portfolio. Given that UBS 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 AM would have otherwise voluntarily waived/reimbursed. For the period ended January 31, 2017, the amount of the reduction in transfer agency and related services fees charged by BNY Mellon to the Portfolio was $110,474 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 and irrevocable letters of credit in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly.
Each 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 and irrevocable letters of credit held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. Cash collateral received is invested in State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which is included in each Portfolio's Portfolio of investments. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Portfolios' lending agent.
In addition, PACE Large Co Value Equity Investments and PACE International Equity Investments participate in State Street's enhanced custody program. Through this program, State Street is capable of facilitating the Portfolios' short selling activity at a lower cost. A portion of the cash collateral received in connection with the Portfolios' securities lending activity is pledged back to State Street for the financing of short sales. This amount is shown as cash collateral on investments sold short in the Statement of assets and liabilities.

Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Portfolio. For the period ended January 31, 2017, the following Portfolios recorded recaptured commissions which are reflected in the Statement of operations within the net realized gains (losses) from investments:

Redemption fees
Effective August 3, 2015, the redemption fee of 1.00% imposed by each class of each series of the Trust, with the exception of PACE Government Money Market Investments, was eliminated. Prior to August 3, 2015 for purchases of shares on or after February 17, 2015, the redemption fee was calculated as a percentage of the amount redeemed within 30 days of purchase, if applicable. This amount was paid to the applicable Portfolio. For the year ended July 31, 2016, the redemption fees retained by the Portfolios are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets.
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.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016 was as follows:
Portfolio | | Tax-exempt income | | Ordinary income | | Long term realized capital gains | | Return of capital | |

September 2016 Board Meeting
Analytic Investors, LLC
Trustees' considerations
Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on September 13-14, 2016, 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 subadvisory agreement between UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") and Analytic Investors, LLC ("Analytic") (the "Subadvisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Alternative Strategies Investments (the "Portfolio"). Management explained to the board that Analytic, which currently was owned by its employees, had entered into an agreement for the sale of Analytic to Wells Capital Management, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Co. ("Wells Fargo") (the "Transaction"), which was expected to be consummated later in 2016. Management stated that, following the Transaction, the Analytic investment team and the strategy that Analytic provides for the Portfolio were expected to continue to operate under the Analytic name as an autonomous investment team of Wells Fargo Asset Management, Wells Fargo's global asset management division. Management stated that it did not expect any material changes with respect to the Analytic investment team's management of the Portfolio as a result of the Transaction. Management explained that because the expected change in ownership would constitute an "assignment," the current subadvisory agreement between UBS AM and Analytic with respect to the Portfolio (the "Current Subadvisory Agreement") would terminate automatically upon consummation of the Transaction and, if approved, the proposed Subadvisory Agreement would become effective. Management stated that the proposed Subadvisory Agreement has substantially the same terms as the Current Subadvisory Agreement, including the fee rates payable thereunder. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS AM and the investment management and subadvisory 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 AM discussing UBS AM's reasons for recommending that Analytic continue serving as a subadvisor to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Subadvisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Analytic to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. The board considered management's reasons for recommending that Analytic continue as a subadvisor to the Portfolio, including that the Portfolio's investment team and strategy were expected to continue to operate under the Analytic name as an autonomous investment team of Wells Fargo Asset Management and that there were no expected material changes with respect to the Analytic investment team's management of the Portfolio as a result of the Transaction. In considering the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios and UBS AM. The board was also able to draw on its knowledge of the current investment team members, including materials it previously received from, and meetings it previously held with, representatives of Analytic who discussed with the board the investment philosophy and the backgrounds and qualifications of the investment 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 Subadvisory Agreement.
Subadvisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual subadvisory fee to be payable by UBS AM to Analytic in light of the nature, extent and quality of the subadvisory services anticipated to be provided by Analytic. The board noted that the subadvisory fee rate in the Subadvisory Agreement was the same as that in the Current Subadvisory Agreement. The board determined that the proposed subadvisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the Subadvisory Agreement.

Board approvals of subadvisory agreements (unaudited)
Fund performance—The board received and considered performance information provided by UBS AM, including relative performance information from independent providers of investment company data. The board also noted that UBS AM believes that the Portfolio's investment team would continue to perform at the same level as it did prior to the Transaction. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the performance of the Portfolio.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of Analytic or its affiliates or UBS AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio was not a significant factor considered by the board, as the subadvisory fee would be paid by UBS 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 subadvisory fee for the Portfolio would be paid by UBS AM, not by the Portfolio, consideration of economies of scale with respect specifically to the subadvisory fee was not relevant.
Other benefits to Analytic—The board was informed by management that Analytic's relationship with the Portfolio would be limited to its provision of subadvisory services to the Portfolio and that therefore management believed that Analytic 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 Analytic could receive intangible benefits from its association with the Portfolio, such as increased name recognition or publicity from being selected as a subadvisor to the Portfolio after an extensive review process. Similarly, the Portfolio could benefit from having a subadvisor 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 Subadvisory 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 Subadvisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

September 2016 Board Meeting
Principal Global Investors, LLC
Trustees' considerations
Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on September 13-14, 2016, 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 subadvisory agreement between UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") and Principal Global Investors, LLC ("PGI") (the "Subadvisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Alternative Strategies Investments (the "Portfolio"). Management discussed with the board its proposal to appoint PGI to provide a currency strategy, Global Time Diversified currency strategy (the "GTD strategy"), to the Portfolio through PGI's non-U.S. participating affiliate, Macro Currency Group ("MCG"). MCG is an autonomous business unit of PGI (Europe) Ltd., the European operating subsidiary of PGI. In considering the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios and UBS AM. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS AM and the investment management and subadvisory 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 AM discussing UBS AM's reasons for recommending PGI as a subadvisor to the Portfolio. Management stated that it was seeking approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, but intended to implement the GTD strategy at later date. Management explained that it recommended waiting to allocate the Portfolio's assets to PGI because the GTD strategy had recently experienced outsized performance and UBS AM was seeking to protect the Portfolio from incurring initial underperformance. Management stated that it also recommended waiting until the time the GTD strategy was implemented to determine the size of the initial allocation to PGI as well as its funding source. Management stated that UBS AM believes that the maximum recommended allocation to the strategy would be 10% of the Portfolio's market value.
In its consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Subadvisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by MCG through PGI 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 AM's overall plan to meet the Portfolio's stated purposes and objective. The board considered management's reasons for recommending the appointment of PGI as a subadvisor to the Portfolio, including its "due diligence" concerning MCG and PGI and its belief that the GTD strategy would benefit the Portfolio by, among other reasons, improving the Portfolio's ability to generate risk-adjusted returns over full business cycles and complementing the strategies provided by other subadvisors to the Portfolio. The board also received materials from MCG detailing its investment philosophy and met with representatives of MCG, 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 Subadvisory Agreement.
Subadvisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual subadvisory fee to be payable by UBS AM to PGI in light of the nature, extent and quality of the subadvisory services anticipated to be provided by MCG through PGI. Management stated that the overall impact of the proposed contractual subadvisory fee on the subadvisory fees paid by UBS AM with respect to the Portfolio would be determined and communicated to the board upon implementation of the GTD strategy. The board determined that the proposed subadvisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the Subadvisory Agreement.

Fund performance—The board received and considered performance information for the GTD strategy provided by MCG. The board also noted that, as PGI would be a new subadvisor to the Portfolio, the current performance of the Portfolio was not a significant factor in the consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of PGI or its affiliates, including MCG, or UBS AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio was not a significant factor considered by the board, as the subadvisory fee would be paid by UBS 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 subadvisory fee for the Portfolio would be paid by UBS AM, not by the Portfolio, consideration of economies of scale with respect specifically to the subadvisory fee was not relevant.

Background—At a special telephonic meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on October 17, 2016, 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 interim subadvisory agreement between UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") and Sapience Investments, LLC ("Sapience") (the "Interim Subadvisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Small/Medium Co Value Equity Investments (the "Portfolio"). Management discussed with the board its proposal to terminate Wells Capital Management, Inc. ("Wells Capital") as a subadvisor to the Portfolio and to reallocate the Portfolio's assets managed by Wells Capital to Sapience. Management stated that the investment team at Wells Capital that had been responsible for the Portfolio's assets recently left the subadvisor for Sapience, a newly-formed asset management firm. Management noted that a different small cap team within Wells Capital was continuing to manage the Portfolio's assets, but that UBS AM recommended that the Portfolio's assets be managed by the same investment team using the team's small cap value strategy. Management stated that it was seeking approval of the Interim Subadvisory Agreement to promptly re-allocate the Portfolio assets to Sapience to ensure those assets could be actively invested by the Portfolio's former investment team in order to take advantage of new opportunities afforded by the market, particularly in the small cap space. Management noted the potential for significant volatility in small cap value equities and expressed concern that the Portfolio could drift from its small cap value orientation. Management also noted that the Portfolio's portfolio construction was not expected to change with a transition to Sapience, which would mitigate transactions costs, such as commissions, and potential tax consequences for shareholders in connection with turning over the Portfolio's positions.
Management further explained that because the departure of the Portfolio's investment team from Wells Capital to Sapience occurred between the board's scheduled in-person meetings, Sapience has agreed to waive its subadvisory fee under the proposed Interim Subadvisory Agreement. Management noted that UBS AM has agreed to a corresponding waiver of its management fee for the duration of the Sapience fee waiver. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS AM and the investment management and subadvisory 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 AM discussing UBS AM's reasons for recommending Sapience as a subadvisor to the Portfolio and the proposed fee structure.
In its consideration of the approval of the Interim Subadvisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Interim Subadvisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Sapience to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. The board considered management's reasons for recommending the appointment of Sapience as a subadvisor to the Portfolio, including its ongoing "due diligence" concerning Sapience, that the Sapience investment team was expected to continue to execute the same philosophy and process as it did while at Wells Capital and that the Portfolio would continue with its small cap value orientation. In considering the approval of the Interim Subadvisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios and UBS AM. The board was also able to draw on its knowledge of the Portfolio's former investment team members, including materials it previously received from, and meetings it previously held with, those members while at Wells Capital who discussed with the board the investment philosophy and the backgrounds and qualifications of the investment 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 Interim Subadvisory Agreement.

Subadvisory fee—The board considered that Sapience has agreed to waive its subadvisory fee under the proposed Interim Subadvisory Agreement and that UBS AM has agreed to a corresponding waiver of its management fee for the duration of the Sapience fee waiver. Management stated that it expects to present a subadvisory agreement at the board's next in-person meeting on substantially similar terms as, and at a reduced fee rate from, the current subadvisory agreement with Wells Capital.
Fund performance—The board noted that UBS AM believes that the investment team at Sapience would continue to perform at the same level as it did while at Wells Capital. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the performance of the Portfolio.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of Sapience or its affiliates or UBS AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio was not a significant factor considered by the board, as the subadvisory fee would be waived under the proposed Interim Subadvisory Agreement.
Economies of scale—The board noted that, as the subadvisory fee for the Portfolio would be waived under the proposed Interim Subadvisory Agreement, consideration of economies of scale with respect specifically to the subadvisory fee was not relevant.
Other benefits to Sapience—The board was informed by management that Sapience's relationship with the Portfolio would be limited to its provision of subadvisory services to the Portfolio and that therefore management believed that Sapience 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 Sapience could receive intangible benefits from its association with the Portfolio, such as increased name recognition or publicity from being selected as a subadvisor to the Portfolio after an extensive review process. Similarly, the Portfolio could benefit from having a subadvisor 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 Interim Subadvisory 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 Interim Subadvisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

November 2016 Board Meeting
Huber Capital Management LLC
Trustees' considerations
Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on November 29-30, 2016, 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 subadvisory agreement between UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") and Huber Capital Management LLC ("Huber") (the "Subadvisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Small/Medium Co Value Equity Investments (the "Portfolio"). Management discussed with the board its proposal to reduce the target allocation of the Portfolio's assets managed by Systematic Financial Management, LP ("Systematic") from 40% to 20-30% and to reallocate a portion of the assets managed by Systematic (i.e., 5-10%) to Huber and a portion of the assets managed by Systematic (i.e., 5-10%) to Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC, a current subadvisor to the Portfolio. In considering the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios and UBS AM. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS AM and the investment management and subadvisory 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 AM discussing UBS AM's reasons for recommending Huber as a subadvisor to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Subadvisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Huber 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 AM's overall plan to meet the Portfolio's stated purposes and objective. The board considered management's reasons for recommending the appointment of Huber as a subadvisor to the Portfolio, including its "due diligence" concerning Huber and its belief that Huber's small/midcap value strategy and deep value framework would benefit the Portfolio by, among other reasons, improving the Portfolio's ability to generate risk-adjusted returns and complementing the strategies provided by other subadvisors to the Portfolio. The board also received materials from Huber detailing its investment philosophy and met with representatives of Huber, 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 Subadvisory Agreement.
Subadvisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual subadvisory fee to be payable by UBS AM to Huber in light of the nature, extent and quality of the subadvisory services anticipated to be provided by Huber. The board noted that, based on current assets under management, the proposed contractual subadvisory fee was expected to result in a net decrease in the subadvisory fees paid by UBS AM with respect to the Portfolio. The board determined that the proposed subadvisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the Subadvisory Agreement.
Fund performance—The board received and considered composite performance information provided by Huber, including performance information for a small/midcap value strategy similar to the strategy that Huber would use to manage the Portfolio's assets. The board also noted that, as Huber would be a new subadvisor to the Portfolio, the current performance of the Portfolio was not a significant factor in the consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement.

Board approvals of subadvisory agreements (unaudited)
Advisor profitability—Profitability of Huber or its affiliates or UBS AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio was not a significant factor considered by the board, as the subadvisory fee would be paid by UBS AM out of the management fee paid to it by the Portfolio, and not by the Portfolio. As noted above, the board observed that the contractual subadvisory fee payable by UBS AM to Huber was expected to result in a net decrease in the subadvisory fees paid by UBS AM with respect to the Portfolio. The board indicated that it would further consider the implications, if any, of this net decrease in subadvisory expense to UBS AM, among other matters, when it engaged in its next full UBS AM management contract review, or before if appropriate. In this regard, it was noted that UBS 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 subadvisory fee for the Portfolio would be paid by UBS AM, not by the Portfolio, consideration of economies of scale with respect specifically to the subadvisory fee was not relevant.
Other benefits to Huber—The board was informed by management that Huber's relationship with the Portfolio would be limited to its provision of subadvisory services to the Portfolio and that therefore management believed that Huber 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).

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.
Trustees' considerations
Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on November 29-30, 2016, 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 subadvisory agreement between UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("J.P. Morgan") (the "Subadvisory Agreement") with respect to PACE International Fixed Income Investments (the "Portfolio"). Management discussed with the board its proposal to terminate Rogge Global Partners Ltd ("Rogge") as the subadvisor to the Portfolio and to reallocate the assets managed by Rogge to J.P. Morgan. Management noted that J.P. Morgan currently served as one of the subadvisors to PACE Large Co Growth Equity Investments, a portfolio of the Trust. In considering the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios and UBS AM. The board recognized its familiarity with UBS AM and the investment management and subadvisory 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 AM discussing UBS AM's reasons for recommending J.P. Morgan as a subadvisor to the Portfolio.
In its consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:

Morgan to the Portfolio took into account the board's knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the Trust and its portfolios. It reviewed the purposes and investment objective of the Portfolio and UBS AM's overall plan to meet the Portfolio's stated purposes and objective. The board considered management's reasons for recommending the appointment of J.P. Morgan as the subadvisor to the Portfolio, including its "due diligence" concerning J.P. Morgan and its belief that J.P. Morgan's global aggregate bond strategy would benefit the Portfolio by, among other reasons, improving the Portfolio's ability to generate risk-adjusted returns over full business cycles. The board also received materials from J.P. Morgan detailing its investment philosophy and met with representatives of J.P. Morgan, 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 Subadvisory Agreement.

November 2016 Board Meeting
Sapience Investments, LLC
Trustees' considerations
Background—At a meeting of the board of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust") on November 29-30, 2016, 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 subadvisory agreement between UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") and Sapience Investments, LLC ("Sapience") (the "Subadvisory Agreement") with respect to PACE Small/Medium Co Value Equity Investments (the "Portfolio"). It was noted that Sapience currently serves as a subadvisor to the Portfolio under an interim subadvisory agreement (the "Interim Agreement"), between UBS AM and Sapience with respect to the Portfolio, which had been approved by the board at a special telephonic meeting held on October 17, 2016 (the "October Meeting"). Management noted that the board had been asked to approve the Interim Agreement in connection with the termination of Wells Capital Management, Inc. ("Wells Capital"), a then-current subadvisor to the Portfolio, and the related subadvisory agreement (the "Wells Capital Agreement"), and the reallocation of the Portfolio's assets managed by Wells Capital to Sapience as a result of the investment team at Wells Capital that had been responsible for the Portfolio's assets leaving Wells Capital for Sapience, a newly-formed asset management firm (the "Transition").
Management stated that the Interim Agreement took effect on October 20, 2016. It was noted that the terms of the Interim Agreement were substantially similar to the terms of the Wells Capital Agreement, except for the duration of the agreement and the fees payable thereunder. Management noted that Sapience was not entitled to receive compensation under the terms of the Interim Agreement, which would terminate upon the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, and that UBS AM had agreed to corresponding waivers of its management fee for the duration of the Interim Agreement. It was noted that such waivers were instituted with respect to the Interim Agreement pending consideration of a superseding agreement at an "in person" board meeting in consideration of regulatory requirements. Management stated that the proposed Subadvisory Agreement also was on substantially similar terms as the Wells Capital Agreement, except that the fee rate payable under the Subadvisory Agreement was lower than the fee rate payable under the Wells Capital Agreement. It was noted that no material changes with respect to the Sapience investment team's management of the relevant portion of the Portfolio's assets had occurred or were expected to occur as a result of the Transition.
The board recognized its familiarity with UBS AM and the investment management and subadvisory 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 memoranda from UBS AM discussing UBS AM's reasons for recommending Sapience as a subadvisor to the Portfolio and the proposed fee structure in advance of the October Meeting and November Meeting, respectively.
In its consideration of the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board considered the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Subadvisory Agreement—The board's evaluation of the services to be provided by Sapience 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. At the October Meeting, the board considered management's reasons for recommending the appointment of Sapience as a subadvisor to the Portfolio, including its "due diligence" concerning Sapience, that the Sapience investment team was expected to continue to execute the same philosophy and process as it did while at Wells Capital and that the Portfolio would continue with its small cap value orientation. In considering the approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the board was able to draw on its knowledge of the Trust, its portfolios and UBS AM. The board was also able to draw on its knowledge of the Portfolio's investment team members, including materials it previously received from, and meetings it previously held with, those members while at Wells Capital who discussed with the board the investment philosophy and the backgrounds and qualifications of the investment team. At the

November Meeting, UBS AM represented that it had completed its "due diligence" concerning Sapience and there had been no material changes in the information previously provided to the board at the October Meeting. 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 Subadvisory Agreement.
Subadvisory fee—The board reviewed and considered the proposed contractual subadvisory fee to be payable by UBS AM to Sapience in light of the nature, extent and quality of the subadvisory services anticipated to be provided by Sapience. The board noted that the proposed contractual subadvisory fee rate in the Subadvisory Agreement, which would be paid by UBS AM, was lower than the fee rate in the Wells Capital Agreement. The board also noted that Sapience would not receive compensation under the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement for the services provided under the Interim Agreement. The board determined that the proposed subadvisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the Portfolio under the Subadvisory Agreement.
Fund performance—The board noted that UBS AM believes that the investment team at Sapience would continue to perform at the same level as it did while at Wells Capital. The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the performance of the Portfolio.
Advisor profitability—Profitability of Sapience or its affiliates or UBS AM or its affiliates in providing services to the Portfolio was not a significant factor considered by the board, as the subadvisory fee would be paid by UBS AM out of the management fee paid to it by the Portfolio, and not by the Portfolio.

PACE® Government Money Market Investments
Semiannual Report | January 31, 2017
PACE Government Money Market Investments
Performance (Unaudited)
The seven-day current yield for the Fund as of January 31, 2017 was 0.01% (after fee waivers/expense reimbursements).1 For more information on the Fund's performance, refer to "Yields and characteristics at a glance" on page 5. 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.
Advisor's Comments (Unaudited)
In December 2016, the US Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") modestly raised the federal funds rate from a low range between 0.25% and 0.50% to a range between 0.50% and 0.75%.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. While the yields on a wide range of short-term investments moved higher over the period, yields still remain low by historical comparison. As a result, the Portfolio's yield remained low during the reporting period.

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

We tactically adjusted the Portfolio's weighted average maturity ("WAM") throughout the six-month review period. When the reporting period began, the Portfolio had a WAM of 57 days. This was decreased to 54 days at the end of the reporting period.
A number of adjustments were made to the Portfolio's sector and issuer positioning during the six-month period. We increased the Portfolio's exposure to US government and agency obligations and reduced its allocation to repurchase agreements. (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.)

Understanding your Portfolio's expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) on-going program fees; and (2) ongoing Portfolio costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, August 1, 2016 to January 31, 2017.
Actual expenses
The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over a period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate your actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Understanding your Portfolio's expenses (unaudited) (concluded)
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing Portfolio costs only and do not reflect any program fees. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Portfolio costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if program fees were included, your costs would have been higher.
| | Beginning account value August 1, 2016 | | Ending account value January 31, 2017 | | Expenses paid during period1 08/01/16 to 01/31/17 | | Expense ratio during the period | |
Actual | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,000.10 | | | $ | 2.27 | | | | 0.45 | % | |
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses) | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,022.94 | | | | 2.29 | | | | 0.45 | | |
1 Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

2 Total investment return is calculated assuming a $10,000 investment on the first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, if any, at net asset value on the payable dates, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not include program fees; results would be lower if these fees were included. The investment return for period of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions.
3 In August 2013, UBS AM made a voluntary cash payment of $2,340 to the Portfolio 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 credit crisis of 2008. Payment from investment advisor had no impact on the Portfolio's total investment return and represents less than $0.0005 per share.
4 Annualized.

Organization and significant accounting policies
PACE Government Money Market Investments (the "Portfolio") is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified series of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management investment company 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 series available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The financial statements for the other series of the Trust are not included herein. Shares of the Portfolio currently are available only to participants in the PACESM Select Advisors Program and the PACESM Multi Advisor Program.
UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS AM") serves as the investment manager, investment advisor and administrator for the Portfolio. UBS AM is an indirect asset management subsidiary of UBS Group AG. UBS Group AG is an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. UBS Group AG operates in many areas of the financial services industry.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Portfolio. Expenses directly attributable to each Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio's operations; expenses which are applicable to all Portfolios are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolio that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolio has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Portfolio's financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"). The update provides guidance about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on the disclosures in the financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Valuation of investments—Under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Portfolio has adopted a policy to operate as a "government money market fund". Under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, a "government money market fund" invests 99.5% or more of its total assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully (i.e., collateralized by cash and/or government securities). As a "government money market fund", the Portfolio values its investments at amortized cost unless the Portfolio's Board of Trustees (the "Board") determines that this does not represent fair value. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of the securities held by the Portfolio is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of the Portfolio's Statement of net assets.
Constant net asset value per share—The Portfolio attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. There is no assurance, however, that the Portfolio will be able 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. The Portfolio has adopted a policy to operate as a "government money market fund" and as such the Portfolio is permitted to seek to maintain a stable price per share.
Liquidity fee and/or redemption gates—By operating as a "government money market fund", the Portfolio is exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee and/or temporary redemption gates. While the Board may elect to subject the Portfolio to liquidity fee and gate requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.
Repurchase agreements—The Portfolio may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Portfolio maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special "tri-party"
16
PACE Government Money Market Investments
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Portfolio and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily in an effort to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including a possible decline in the market value of the underlying obligations. If their value becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon repurchase of the obligations and the price that was paid by a Portfolio upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolio generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements secured by obligations that are not eligible for direct investment under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 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 Portfolio may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The Portfolio intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risks.
The Portfolio may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other Portfolios managed, advised or subadvised by UBS AM in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to Section 17(d) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17d-1 thereunder. Under certain circumstances, the Portfolio may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to

avoid having the Portfolio potentially exposed to a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.
Investment transactions and investment income—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.
Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Portfolio to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.
Investment management and administration fees and other transactions with affiliates
The Portfolio's Board has approved an investment management and administration contract ("Management Contract") with UBS AM. In accordance with the Management Contract, the Portfolio pays UBS AM an investment management and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. At January 31, 2017, UBS AM owes $35,567 to the Portfolio, representing investment management and administration fees net of fee waivers/expense reimbursements.
18
PACE Government Money Market Investments
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
UBS AM has contractually undertaken to waive a portion of the Portfolio's investment management and administration fees and/or reimburse a portion of the Portfolio's other expenses, when necessary, to maintain the total ordinary annual operating expenses (excluding borrowing costs and interest expense, if any) through November 30, 2017 at a level not to exceed 0.60%. For the period ended January 31, 2017, UBS AM waived $337,205 in investment management and administration fees. The Portfolio will make a payment to UBS AM for any previously waived fees/reimbursed expenses during the following three fiscal years to the extent that operating expenses are otherwise below the expense cap.
At January 31, 2017, the Portfolio had remaining fee waivers/expense reimbursements subject to repayment to UBS AM and respective dates of expiration as follows:
Fee waivers/expense reimbursements subject to repayment | | Expires July 31, 2017 | | Expires July 31, 2018 | | Expires July 31, 2019 | | Expires July 31, 2020 | |
$ | 2,585,453 | | | $ | 855,490 | | | $ | 685,972 | | | $ | 706,786 | | | $ | 337,205 | | |
No amount was repaid back to UBS AM in the past year.
UBS AM may voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses from time to time in the event that the Portfolio's yield falls below a certain level. Once started, there is no guarantee that UBS AM would continue to voluntarily waive an additional portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses. This management fee waiver will not be subject to future recoupment. For the period ended January 31, 2017, UBS AM voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed expenses of $35,928 for that purpose.
Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Professor Meyer Feldberg serves as a senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, a financial services firm with which the Portfolio may conduct transactions, resulting in him being an interested trustee of the Portfolio. The Portfolio has been informed that Professor Feldberg's
19
PACE Government Money Market Investments
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Portfolio transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm's ability to provide best execution of the transactions.
During the period ended January 31, 2017, the Portfolio purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley, having an aggregate value of $9,992,113. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a "mark-up" or "mark-down" of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by the Portfolio's investment manager, it is believed that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.
Transfer agency and related services fees
UBS Financial Services Inc. provides certain services to the Portfolio pursuant to a delegation of authority from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. ("BNY Mellon"), the Portfolio's transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by BNY Mellon, not the Portfolio.
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 Government Money Market Investments so that BNY Mellon would correspondingly reduce the fees it would have charged to that Portfolio. Given that UBS 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 AM would have otherwise voluntarily waived/reimbursed. For the period ended January 31, 2017, the amount of the reduction in transfer agency and related services fees charged by BNY Mellon to the Portfolio was $110,474, which reflected an equal amount of compensation that was voluntarily
20
PACE Government Money Market Investments
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
waived by UBS Financial Services Inc. Voluntary fee waiver/expense reimbursement arrangements may end at any time.
For the period ended January 31, 2017, UBS Financial Services Inc. received from BNY Mellon, not the Portfolio, $65,167 of the total transfer agency and related services fees paid by the Portfolio to BNY Mellon.

Federal tax status
The Portfolio intends to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Portfolio intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Portfolio during the period ended January 31, 2017 and the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016 was ordinary income.
The components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Portfolio's fiscal year ending July 31, 2017.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized by the Portfolio after December 22, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. The Act requires post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses. At July 31, 2016, the Portfolio had no capital loss carryforwards.
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 Portfolio has analyzed and concluded as of January 31, 2017, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Portfolio recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended January 31, 2017, the Portfolio did not incur any interest or penalties.
