UBS Liquid Assets Government Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

Organization and significant accounting policies

UBS Liquid Assets Government Fund (the “Fund”) is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 29, 1998. The Trust is a series mutual fund with fifteen series. The financial statements for the other series of the Trust are not included herein.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”), is the investment advisor and administrator for the Fund. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned 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 series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—Under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, as amended (“Rule 2a-7”), the Fund has adopted a policy to operate as a “government money market fund”. Under Rule 2a-7, 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 Fund values its investments at amortized cost unless UBS AM, as the valuation designee appointed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, 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.

US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Constant net asset value per share—The Fund attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. There is no assurance, however, that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend/distribution policies in an attempt to enable it to do so. The Fund has adopted a policy to operate as a “government money market fund” and as such the Fund is permitted to seek to maintain a stable price per share.

Liquidity fee—By operating as a “government money market fund”, the Fund is exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Board may elect to subject the Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Repurchase agreements—The Fund may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Fund maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Fund and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily 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 the Fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements secured by obligations that are not eligible for direct investment under Rule 2a-7 or the Fund’s investment strategies and limitations may require the Fund 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 Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risks.

The Fund may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS AM. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Fund 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 from investment income and distributions from 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Investment advisor and administrator and other transactions with affiliates

The Board has approved an investment advisory and administration contract (the “Advisory Contract”) with UBS AM, under which UBS AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays UBS AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly. Where the services are provided directly by UBS AM or an affiliate, the fee will be limited to reimbursement of UBS AM’s direct advisory/administrative costs and expenses and will exclude any profit or overhead charges. Where UBS AM arranges for an unaffiliated person to provide services, the Fund will reimburse UBS AM for the cost of the services provided by the unaffiliated person, but no additional profit or overhead charge will be included or the Fund will pay the service provider directly. UBS AM has advised the Fund that for the period ended October 31, 2024, its direct advisory/administrative costs and expenses approximate an annual rate of 0.02% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. These expenses are estimated amounts in addition to other expenses of the Fund. To the extent such fees are not waived, UBS AM periodically will review Fund expenses in an effort to confirm that only direct costs and expenses are paid to UBS AM by the Fund.

For the period ended October 31, 2024, UBS AM waived its entire fee for its direct advisory/administrative costs and expenses; such amount is not subject to future recoupment.

Shares of beneficial interest

There is an unlimited amount of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest, at $1.00 per share, were as follows:

Federal tax status

The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 was ordinary income in the amount of $54,177,071.

The tax character of distributions made and the components of accumulated earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Fund’s fiscal year ending April 30, 2025.

Net capital losses recognized by the Fund may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. These carryforwards are available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of future realized capital gains. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed. At April 30, 2024, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $9,153 in short term capital losses.

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 Fund has conducted an analysis and concluded as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. It is the Fund’s policy to record any significant foreign tax exposures on the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Organization and significant accounting policies

UBS RMA Government Money Market Fund (“RMA Government Fund” or the “Fund”) is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 29, 1998. The Trust is a series mutual fund with fifteen series. The financial statements for the other series of the Trust are not included herein.

RMA Government Fund is a “feeder fund” that invests substantially all of its assets in a “master fund”—Government Master Fund (the “Master Fund”, a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end investment company registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act). The feeder fund and its respective Master Fund have the same investment objectives. RMA Government Fund commenced operations on June 24, 2016.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Fund and the administrator for the Fund. UBS Asset Management (US) Inc. (“UBS AM—US”) serves as principal underwriter for the Fund. 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.

The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Fund. The value of such investment reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Fund (3.06% at October 31, 2024).

All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment activities of the Master Fund are allocated pro rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the Fund and other investors in the Master Fund (e.g., other feeder funds) at the time of such determination. The financial statements of the Master Fund, including the Portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in connection with the Fund’s financial statements. The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—The Fund records its investment in the Master Fund at fair value. Securities held by the Master Fund are valued as indicated in the Master Fund’s Notes to financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Constant net asset value per share—RMA Government Fund attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. There is no assurance, however, that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund and the Master Fund have adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend/distribution policies in an attempt to enable the Fund to do so. RMA Government Fund and the Master Fund have

UBS RMA Government Money Market Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

each adopted a policy to operate as a “government money market fund”. Under Rule 2a-7 of 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) (either directly or through a related master portfolio). As a “government money market fund”, RMA Government Fund is permitted to seek to maintain a stable price per share.

Liquidity fee—By operating as a “government money market fund”, RMA Government Fund is exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may elect to subject RMA Government Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from investment income and distributions from 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Master Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Administrator

UBS AM serves as administrator to the Fund pursuant to an Administration Agreement approved by the Trust’s board. In accordance with the Administration Agreement, the Fund pays UBS AM an administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the below annual rate, as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Fund      Administration fee
RMA Government Money Market Fund        0.10

At October 31, 2024, the Fund owed UBS AM $93,950 for administrative services.

Shareholder services plan

UBS AM—US is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Fund’s shares. Under the shareholder services plan, UBS AM—US is entitled to a monthly shareholder servicing fee, payable by the Fund, at the below annual rate, as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

Fund      Shareholder servicing fee
RMA Government Money Market Fund        0.25

At October 31, 2024, the Fund owed UBS AM—US $177,700 for shareholder servicing fees.

UBS AM and UBS AM—US may voluntarily undertake to waive fees, including in the event that Fund yields drop below a certain level. This additional undertaking is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time. For the period ended October 31, 2024, UBS AM and UBS AM—US did not voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses.

Transfer agency and related services fees

UBS Financial Services Inc. provides certain services pursuant to a delegation of authority from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”), the Fund’s transfer agent, and was compensated for these services by BNY Mellon, not the Fund. For the period ended October 31, 2024, UBS Financial Services Inc. received from BNY Mellon, not the Fund, total delegated services fees of $429,424.

Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions made and components of accumulated earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Fund’s fiscal year ending April 30, 2025.

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 Fund has conducted an analysis and concluded as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024, remains subject to examination by the Internal

Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Understanding a Master Fund’s expenses (unaudited)

 

(Note: The expense information provided in this section is relevant for direct investors in the Master Funds. Investors in the related “feeder funds” should instead focus on separate expense examples relevant to the particular feeder funds; the expense examples for the feeder funds will reflect their proportionate share of the corresponding Master Funds’ expenses.)

As an owner of a Master Fund, an investor such as a feeder fund incurs ongoing costs, including management fees and other Master Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand a Master Fund investor’s ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Master Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024.

Actual expenses

The first line in the table below for each Master Fund 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 entitled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the table below for each Master Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Master Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Master Fund’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 Master Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples 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 costs. Therefore, the second line in the table for each Master Fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, if those other funds impose transactional costs—for example, exchange fees. In addition, if those transactional costs were included, your costs for those other funds would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Master Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although Government Master Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment so that the shares of each related feeder fund are at $1.00 per share, Government Master Fund cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in a money market fund is not a bank account and not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. A money market fund’s sponsor is not required to reimburse the fund for losses, and you should not expect that the fund’s sponsor will provide financial support to a money market fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.

Not FDIC insured. May lose value. No bank guarantee.

The total investment return for the Master Fund is calculated using geometric average return. The Master Fund issues ownership interests, rather than shares, to the feeder funds. Individual investors invest only into the feeder funds. Feeder fund total investment return is calculated as described within the feeder fund financial highlights and may differ from geometric average return of the Master Fund. Total investment return for the period of less than one year has not been annualized.

Government Master Fund (the “Master Fund”) is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2007. Government Master Fund commenced operations on June 24, 2016.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Funds. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned 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.

Master Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

In the normal course of business, the Master Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Master Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Master Fund has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Master Fund’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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments

Under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, as amended (“Rule 2a-7”), Government Master Fund has adopted a policy to operate as a “government money market fund”. Under Rule 2a-7, 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”, Government Master Fund values its investments at amortized cost unless UBS AM, as the valuation designee appointed by Master Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act determines that this does not represent fair value. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of securities held by Government Master Fund is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.

The Board has designated UBS AM as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and delegated to UBS AM the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to portfolio holdings. UBS AM, as the valuation designee, is responsible for periodically assessing any material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of investments; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing the appropriateness of fair value methodologies; and overseeing and evaluating third-party pricing services. UBS AM has the Equities, Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee (the “VC”) to assist with its designated responsibilities as valuation designee with respect to the Master Fund’s portfolio of investments. The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: investments of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; fixed-income investments that have gone into default and for which there is no current market value quotation; Section 4(a)(2) commercial paper; investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale; illiquid investments; and investments for which the prices or values available do not, in the judgment of the VC, represent current

market value. The need to fair value the Master Fund’s portfolio of investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded investments. 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 investments are purchased and sold.

The Master Fund’s portfolio holdings may also consist of shares of other investment companies in which the Master Fund invests. The value of each such open-end investment company will generally be its net asset value at the time a Master Fund’s beneficial interests are priced. Pursuant to the Master Fund’s use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies and/or investments in investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value. Each investment company generally values investments in a manner as described in that investment company’s prospectus or similar documents.

US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Master Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Master Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of the Master Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Liquidity fee—By operating as a “government money market fund”, Government Master Fund is exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Board may elect to subject Government Master Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Repurchase agreements—Government Master Fund may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. Government Master Fund maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both Government Master Fund 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 fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, Government Master Fund 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 or a fund’s investment strategies and limitations may require Government Master Fund to promptly dispose of such collateral if the seller or guarantor becomes insolvent. If the seller (or seller’s guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, Government Master Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Government Master Fund

Notes to financial statements

 

Government Master Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risk.

Government Master Fund may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS AM. The Master Fund may engage in repurchase agreements as part of normal investing strategies.

Under certain circumstances, Government Master Fund may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having Government Master Fund 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Master Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Investment advisor and administrator

UBS AM serves as the investment advisor and administrator to the Master Fund pursuant to an investment advisory and administration contract (“Management Contract”) approved by the Board. In accordance with the Management Contract, the Master Fund pays UBS AM an investment advisory and administration fee (“management fee”), which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the below annual rates, as a percentage of the Master Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Average daily net assets      Annual rate
Up to $30 billion        0.1000
In excess of $30 billion up to $40 billion        0.0975  
In excess of $40 billion up to $50 billion        0.0950  
In excess of $50 billion up to $60 billion        0.0925  
Over $60 billion        0.0900  

At October 31, 2024, the Master Fund owed UBS AM for investment advisory and administration services, net of waivers (if any), as follows:

 

Fund      Net amount owed to UBS AM
Government Master Fund      $ 2,307,387  

In exchange for these fees, UBS AM has agreed to bear all of the Master Fund’s, expenses other than taxes, extraordinary costs and the cost of securities purchased and sold by the Master Fund, including any transaction costs. Although UBS AM is not obligated to pay the fees and expenses of the Master Fund’s independent trustees, it is contractually obligated to reduce its management fee in an amount equal to those fees and expenses. UBS AM estimates that these fees and expenses will be 0.01% or less of the Master Fund’s average daily net assets. At October 31, 2024, UBS AM did not owe the Master Fund any additional reductions in administration fees for independent trustees’ fees and expenses.

In addition, UBS AM may voluntarily undertake to waive fees. This additional undertaking is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Master Fund did not incur this additional waiver.

Federal tax status

Government Master Fund is considered a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, no federal tax provision is necessary. As such, each investor in the Master Fund is treated as owning its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Fund. UBS AM intends that the Master Fund’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Master Fund will be able to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by investing its net assets through the Master Fund.

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 Master Fund has conducted an analysis and concluded, as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Master Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Master Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Organization and significant accounting policies

UBS Select Government Institutional Fund (“Government Institutional Fund”), UBS Select Treasury Institutional Fund (“Treasury Institutional Fund”), UBS Select 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund (“100% US Treasury Institutional Fund”), UBS Prime Reserves Fund (“Prime Reserves Fund), and UBS Tax-Free Reserves Fund (“Tax-Free Reserves Fund”) (each a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”) are each registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 29, 1998. The Trust is a series mutual fund with fifteen series. The financial statements for the other series of the Trust are not included herein.

Government Institutional Fund, Treasury Institutional Fund, 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund, Prime Reserves Fund, and Tax-Free Reserves Fund are “feeder funds” that invest all of their investable assets in “master funds”— Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund, respectively (each a “Master Fund”, collectively, the “Master Funds” and each a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end investment company registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act). The feeder funds and their respective Master Funds have the same investment objectives.

Prior to August 28, 2007, Treasury Institutional Fund invested in securities directly. Effective August 28, 2007, Treasury Institutional Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Treasury Master Fund. Tax-Free Reserves Fund commenced operations on August 28, 2007. Prime Reserves Fund commenced operations on January 19, 2016. Government Institutional Fund commenced operations on July 26, 2016, and 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund commenced operations on March 13, 2024.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”) (formerly, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc.) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Funds and the administrator for the feeder funds. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned 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 performance of each Fund is directly affected by the performance of the corresponding Master Fund. The value of such investment reflects each Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of its corresponding Master Fund (32.77% for Government Institutional Fund, 57.43% for 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund, 42.55% for Treasury Institutional Fund, 55.12% for Prime Reserves Fund, and 62.63% for Tax-Free Reserves Fund at October 31, 2024.)

All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment activities of each Master Fund are allocated pro rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the corresponding Fund and other investors in the Master Fund (e.g., other feeder funds) at the time of such determination. The financial statements of the Master Funds, including the Portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in connection with the Funds’ financial statements. The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—Each Fund records its investment in its corresponding Master Fund at fair value. Securities held by the Master Funds are valued as indicated in the Master Funds’ Notes to financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Constant net asset value per share funds—Government Institutional Fund, Treasury Institutional Fund, 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund, Prime Reserves Fund, and Tax-Free Reserves Fund (collectively the “Constant NAV Funds”) attempt to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. There is no assurance, however, that the Constant NAV Funds will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Constant NAV Funds have adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend/distribution policies in an attempt to enable each to do so. Government Institutional Fund, Treasury Institutional Fund and 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund have adopted a policy to operate as “government money market funds”. Under Rule 2a-7, 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 “government money market funds”, Government Institutional Fund, Treasury Institutional Fund and 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund, are permitted to seek to maintain a stable price per share. Prime Reserves Fund and Tax-Free Reserves Fund operate as “retail money market funds”. Under Rule 2a-7, a “retail money market fund” is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. As “retail money market funds”, Prime Reserves Fund and Tax-Free Reserves Fund are permitted to seek to maintain a stable price per share.

Liquidity fee—Consistent with Rule 2a-7, Prime Reserves Fund and Tax-Free Reserves Fund may be subject to the possible imposition of a liquidity fee under certain circumstances. Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares of each related feeder fund. For the period ended October 31, 2024, Prime Reserves Fund and Tax-Free Reserves Fund were not subject to any liquidity fees.

By operating as “government money market funds”, Government Institutional Fund, 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund and Treasury Institutional Fund are exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may elect to subject Government Institutional Fund, 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund and Treasury Institutional Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from investment income and distributions from 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Master Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Deferred offering costs—With respect to 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund, offering costs consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred with the Fund’s share offerings, the preparation of the Fund’s registration statement, and registration fees. Deferred offering costs are amortized over a period of 12 months.

Administrator

UBS AM serves as administrator to each Fund pursuant to an Administration Agreement approved by the Trust’s board. In accordance with the Administration Agreement, each Fund pays UBS AM an administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the below annual rate, as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Fund      Administration fee
Government Institutional Fund        0.08
Treasury Institutional Fund        0.08  
100% US Treasury Institutional Fund        0.08  
UBS Prime Reserves Fund        0.08  
Tax-Free Reserves Fund        0.08  

At October 31, 2024, each Fund owed UBS AM for administrative services as follows:

 

Fund      Amount owed to UBS AM
Government Institutional Fund      $ 578,386  
Treasury Institutional Fund        1,252,683  
100% US Treasury Institutional Fund        280,966  
UBS Prime Reserves Fund        879,664  
Tax-Free Reserves Fund        32,913  

In exchange for these fees, UBS AM has agreed to bear all of the Funds’ (with the exception of the 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund’s) expenses other than interest, taxes, extraordinary costs and the cost of securities purchased and sold by the Funds, including any transaction costs. Although UBS AM is not obligated to pay the fees and expenses of the Funds’ independent trustees, it is contractually obligated to reduce its administration fee in an amount equal to those fees and expenses. UBS AM estimates that the independent trustees’ fees and expenses will be 0.01% or less of each Fund’s average daily net assets, and that the amounts disclosed in the table above for accrued administration fees are net of independent trustees’ fees and expenses previously paid. At October 31, 2024, UBS AM did not owe the Funds any additional reductions in administration fees for independent trustees’ fees and expenses.

With respect to 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund, such Fund will bear all expenses not specifically assumed by UBS AM incurred in its operations and organization. This Fund and 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 the Fund so that the Fund’s operating expenses through August 31, 2025 (excluding interest expense, if any, expenses related to shareholders’ meetings and extraordinary items) would not exceed 0.18%. The Fund has agreed to repay UBS AM for any waived management fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the three years following such waived fees/reimbursed expenses without causing the Fund’s expenses in any of those three years to exceed the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement, or (ii) at the time of recoupment. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund’s board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund’s contract with UBS AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM’s three year recoupment rights will survive.

Federal tax status

Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, each Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Funds during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 was as follows:

 

       2024
Fund      Tax-exempt
income
     Ordinary income      long-term realized
capital gains
Government Institutional Fund      $        $ 345,906,121        $  
Treasury Institutional Fund                 782,666,690          228,815  
100% US Treasury Institutional Fund                 57,837           
UBS Prime Reserves Fund                 354,805,865           
Tax-Free Reserves Fund        18,396,040                    

The tax character of distributions made and the components of accumulated earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Funds’ fiscal year ending April 30, 2025.

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 Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024, and since inception for the 100% US Treasury Institutional Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Reorganization of Fund

Following the close of business on August 23, 2024, the Target Fund reorganized into the existing Destination Fund within the Trust. The reorganization into the existing Destination Fund was as follows:

 

Target Fund   Destination Fund
UBS Select Prime Institutional Fund   UBS Prime Reserves Fund

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Target Fund transferred all of its property and assets to the Destination Fund. In exchange, the Destination Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the Target Fund and issued shares to the Target Fund, as described below. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of the Target Fund for shares of the Destination Fund outstanding following the close of business on August 23, 2024. The allocated cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the related feeder funds’ allocated realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to feeder fund shareholders for tax purposes.

(A)

Calculated by dividing the Destination Fund shares issuable by the Target Fund shares outstanding on Reorganization Date.

The net assets of the Target Fund, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), were combined with those of the Destination Fund. These amounts were as follows:

Assuming the reorganization had been completed as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of the relevant accounting and performance survivor, the pro forma results of operations for the period ended October 31, 2024 would have been as follows (unaudited):

Subsequent Event

Upon the recommendation of UBS AM, UBS Tax-Free Reserves Fund’s investment adviser/ administrator, the Board of Trustees of UBS Series Funds approved the liquidation of UBS Tax-Free Reserves Fund pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation. All shares of UBS Tax-Free Reserves Fund were liquidated on December 13, 2024.

Understanding a Master Fund’s expenses (unaudited)

 

(Note: The expense information provided in this section is relevant for direct investors in the Master Funds. Investors in the related “feeder funds” should instead focus on separate expense examples relevant to the particular feeder funds; the expense examples for the feeder funds will reflect their proportionate share of the corresponding Master Funds’ expenses.)

As an owner of a Master Fund, an investor such as a feeder fund incurs ongoing costs, including management fees and other Master Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand a Master Fund investor’s ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Master Fund 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, May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024.

Actual expenses

The first line in the table below for each Master Fund 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 entitled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the table below for each Master Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Master Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Master Fund’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 Master Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples 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 costs. Therefore, the second line in the table for each Master Fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, if those other funds impose transactional costs—for example, exchange fees. In addition, if those transactional costs were included, your costs for those other funds would have been higher.

Organization and significant accounting policies

Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund (each a “Master Fund”, collectively, the “Master Funds”) are each registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2007. The Trust is a series mutual fund with five series.

Treasury Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund commenced operations on August 28, 2007. Prime CNAV Master Fund commenced operations on January 19, 2016, Government Master Fund commenced operations on June 24, 2016, and 100% US Treasury Master Fund commenced operations on March 13, 2024.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”) (formerly, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc.) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Funds. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned 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.

Master Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

Each Master Fund may issue any number of interests and each interest shall have a par value of $0.001 per interest. The interests of a Master Fund shall represent a proportional beneficial interest in the net assets belonging to that series. Each holder of interests of a Master Fund shall be entitled to receive his or her pro rata share of all distributions made with respect to such Master Fund according to the investor’s ownership percentage of such Master Fund on the record date established for payment. Upon redemption of interests, an investor shall be paid solely out of the assets and property of such Master Fund. Beneficial interests in the Trust are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since such interests are issued in private placement transactions.

In the normal course of business, the Master Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Master Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Master Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Master Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments

Under Rule 2a-7, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund have adopted certain policies that enable them to use the amortized cost method of valuation. Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund, have adopted a policy to operate as “government money market funds”. Under Rule 2a-7, 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). Prime CNAV Master Fund and

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

Tax-Free Master Fund operate as “retail money market funds”. Under Rule 2a-7, a “retail money market fund” is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. As “government money market funds” and as “retail money market funds”, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund value their investments at amortized cost unless UBS AM, as the valuation designee appointed by Master Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, determines that this does not represent fair value. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of securities held by Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.

The Board has designated UBS AM as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and delegated to UBS AM the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to portfolio holdings. UBS AM, as the valuation designee, is responsible for periodically assessing any material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of investments; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing the appropriateness of fair value methodologies; and overseeing and evaluating third-party pricing services. UBS AM has the Equities, Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee (the “VC”) to assist with its designated responsibilities as valuation designee with respect to the Master Funds’ portfolios of investments. The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: investments of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; fixed-income investments that have gone into default and for which there is no current market value quotation; Section 4(a)(2) commercial paper; investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale; illiquid investments; and investments for which the prices or values available do not, in the judgment of the VC, represent current market value. The need to fair value a Master Fund’s portfolio of investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded investments. 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 investments are purchased and sold.

Each Master Fund’s portfolio holdings may also consist of shares of other investment companies in which the Master Fund invests. The value of each such open-end investment company will generally be its net asset value at the time a Master Fund’s beneficial interests are priced. Pursuant to each Master Fund’s use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies and/or investments in investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value. Each investment company generally values investments in a manner as described in that investment company’s prospectus or similar documents.

US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of each Master Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of each Master Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of each Master Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Liquidity fee—Consistent with Rule 2a-7, the Board is permitted to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions from each of Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund under certain circumstances. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount an interest holder receives upon redemption of its beneficial interests. Prime CNAV Master Fund

Master Trust

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

and Tax-Free Master Fund retains the liquidity fees for the benefit of its remaining interest holders. For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Board of Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund did not impose any liquidity fees.

By operating as “government money market funds”, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund are exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Board may elect to subject Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Repurchase agreements—The Master Funds 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 Master Funds 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 Master Funds 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.

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 fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Master Funds 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 or a fund’s investment strategies and limitations may require the Master Fund 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 Master Funds 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 Master Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risk.

The Master Funds may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS AM. Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund and Prime CNAV Master Fund may engage in repurchase agreements as part of normal investing strategies; Tax-Free Master Fund generally would only engage in repurchase agreement transactions as temporary or defensive investments.

Under certain circumstances, a Master Fund may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Master Fund 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Master Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Deferred offering costs—Offering costs consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred with organizing and registering a fund. With respect to 100% US Treasury Master Fund, deferred offering costs are amortized over a period of 12 months.

Investment advisor and administrator

UBS AM serves as the investment advisor and administrator to each Master Fund pursuant to an investment advisory and administration contract (“Management Contract”) approved by the Board. In accordance with the Management Contract, each Master Fund pays UBS AM an investment advisory and administration fee (“management fee”), which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the below annual rates, as a percentage of each Master Fund’s average daily net assets:

At October 31, 2024, the Master Fund owed UBS AM for investment advisory and administration services, net of waivers (if any), as follows:

 

Fund      Net amount owed to UBS AM
Government Master Fund      $ 2,307,387  
Treasury Master Fund        3,621,284  
100% US Treasury Master Fund        563,003  
Prime CNAV Master Fund        2,036,055  
Tax-Free Master Fund        79,067  

In exchange for these fees, for each Master Fund except 100% US Treasury Master Fund, UBS AM has agreed to bear all of the Master Funds’ expenses other than interest (except interest on borrowings), taxes, extraordinary costs and the cost of securities purchased and sold by such Master Funds, including any transaction costs. Although UBS AM is not obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such Master Funds’ independent trustees, it is contractually obligated to reduce its management fee in an amount equal to those fees and expenses. UBS AM estimates that these fees and expenses will be less than 0.01% of each Master Fund’s average daily net assets.

With respect to 100% US Treasury Master Fund, such Master Fund will bear all expenses not specifically assumed by UBS AM incurred in its operations and the offering of its shares. UBS AM has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that this Master Fund’s ordinary total operating expenses through August 31, 2025 (excluding, as applicable, (i) dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales and (ii) investments in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses related to interestholders’ meetings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.10%. The contractual fee waiver agreement also provides that UBS AM is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the reimbursement of UBS AM by 100% US Treasury Master Fund will not cause such Master Fund to exceed the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for such Master Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Trust’s board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of such Master Fund’s management contract with UBS AM.

Federal tax status

Each Master Fund is considered a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, no federal tax provision is necessary. As such, each investor in a Master Fund is treated as owning its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Fund. UBS AM intends that each Master Fund’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in a Master Fund will be able to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by investing its net assets through the Master Fund.

Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same for book purposes.

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 Master Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded, as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Master Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024 and since inception for 100% US Treasury Master Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Reorganization of Fund

Following the close of business on August 23, 2024, the Target Fund reorganized into the existing Destination Fund within the Trust. The reorganization into the existing Destination Fund was as follows:

 

Target Fund      Destination Fund
Prime Master Fund        Prime CNAV Master Fund  

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Target Fund transferred all of its property and assets to the Destination Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to respond to regulatory changes. In exchange, the applicable Destination Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the applicable Target Fund and issued interest(s) to the Target Fund, as described below. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of an interest(s) of the Target Fund for an interest(s) of the Destination Fund outstanding following the close of business on August 23, 2024. The allocated cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the related feeder funds’ allocated realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to feeder fund shareholders for tax purposes.

 

Target Fund    Destination Fund   

Dollar

Amount

Prime Master Fund      Prime CNAV Master Fund      $ 8,370,789,961  

The net assets of the Target Fund, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), were combined with those of the Destination Fund. These amounts were as follows:

Organization and significant accounting policies

UBS Select Government Preferred Fund (“Government Preferred Fund”), UBS Select Treasury Preferred Fund (“Treasury Preferred Fund”), UBS Select 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund (“100% US Treasury Preferred Fund”), UBS Prime Preferred Fund (“Prime CNAV Preferred Fund”), and UBS Tax-Free Preferred Fund (“Tax-Free Preferred Fund”) (each a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”) are each registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 29, 1998. The Trust is a series mutual fund with fifteen series. The financial statements for the other series of the Trust are not included herein.

100% US Treasury Preferred Fund currently offers Class T and Class P shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund, and the classes are identical except for minimum initial investment levels and that Class P shares are available only to certain types of investors.

Government Preferred Fund, Treasury Preferred Fund, 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund, Prime CNAV Preferred Fund, and Tax-Free Preferred Fund are “feeder funds” that invest all of their investable assets in “master funds”—Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund, respectively (each a “Master Fund”, collectively, the “Master Funds” and each a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end investment company registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act). The feeder funds and their respective Master Funds have the same investment objectives.

Treasury Preferred Fund and Tax-Free Preferred Fund commenced operations on August 28, 2007. Prime CNAV Preferred Fund commenced operations on January 19, 2016, Government Preferred Fund commenced operations on June 28, 2016 and 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund commenced operations on March 13, 2024.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”) (formerly, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc.) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Funds and the administrator for the feeder funds. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned 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 performance of each Fund is directly affected by the performance of the corresponding Master Fund. The value of such investment reflects each Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of its corresponding Master Fund (62.59% for Government Preferred Fund, 53.41% for Treasury Preferred Fund, 42.57% for 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund, 44.88% for Prime CNAV Preferred Fund, and 37.37% for Tax-Free Preferred Fund at October 31, 2024).

All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment activities of each Master Fund are allocated pro rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the corresponding Fund and other investors in the Master Fund (e.g., other feeder funds) at the time of such determination. The financial statements of the Master Funds, including the Portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in connection with the Funds’ financial statements. The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

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 Fund’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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—Each Fund records its investment in its corresponding Master Fund at fair value. Securities held by the Master Funds are valued as indicated in the Master Funds’ Notes to financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Constant net asset value per share funds—Government Preferred Fund, Treasury Preferred Fund, 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund, Prime CNAV Preferred Fund, and Tax-Free Preferred Fund (collectively the “Constant NAV Funds”) attempt to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. There is no assurance, however, that the Constant NAV Funds will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Constant NAV Funds have adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend/distribution policies in an attempt to enable each to do so. Government Preferred Fund and Treasury Preferred Fund have adopted a policy to operate as “government money market funds”. Under Rule 2a-7, 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 “government money market funds”, Government Preferred Fund, Treasury Preferred and 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund are permitted to seek to maintain a stable price per share. Prime CNAV Preferred Fund and Tax-Free Preferred Fund operate as “retail money market funds”. Under Rule 2a-7, a “retail money market fund” is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. As “retail money market funds”, Prime CNAV Preferred Fund and Tax-Free Preferred Fund are permitted to seek to maintain a stable price per share.

Liquidity fee—Consistent with Rule 2a-7, Prime CNAV Preferred Fund and Tax-Free Preferred Fund may be subject to the possible imposition of a liquidity fee under certain circumstances. Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares of each related feeder fund. For the period ended October 31, 2024, Prime CNAV Preferred Fund and Tax-Free Preferred Fund were not subject to any liquidity fees.

By operating as “government money market funds”, Government Preferred Fund, Treasury Preferred Fund and 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund are exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may elect to subject Government Preferred Fund, Treasury Preferred Fund and 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from investment income and distributions from 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Master Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Deferred offering costs—Offering costs consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred with organizing and registering a fund. With respect to 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund, deferred offering costs are amortized over a period of 12 months.

Administrator

UBS AM serves as the administrator to each Fund pursuant to an Administration Agreement approved by the Trust’s board. In accordance with the Administration Agreement, each Fund pays UBS AM an administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the below annual rate, as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Fund      Administration fee
Government Preferred Fund        0.08
Treasury Preferred Fund        0.08  
100% US Treasury Preferred Fund        0.08  
Prime CNAV Preferred Fund        0.08  
Tax-Free Preferred Fund        0.08  

At October 31, 2024, each Fund owed UBS AM for administrative services as follows:

 

Fund    Amount owed to UBS AM
Government Preferred Fund    $ 1,034,241  
Treasury Preferred Fund      1,521,832  
100% US Treasury Preferred Fund      220,080  
Prime CNAV Preferred Fund      706,395  
Tax-Free Preferred Fund      26,691  

In exchange for these fees, UBS AM has agreed to bear all of the Funds’ (with the exception of the 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund’s) expenses other than interest, taxes, extraordinary costs and the cost of securities purchased and sold by the Funds, including any transaction costs. Although UBS AM is not obligated to pay the fees and expenses of the Funds’ independent trustees, it is contractually obligated to reduce its fee in an amount equal to those fees and expenses. UBS AM estimates that the independent trustees’ fees and expenses will be 0.01% or less of each Fund’s average daily net assets, and that the amounts disclosed in the table above for accrued administration fees are net of independent trustees’ fees and expenses previously paid. At October 31, 2024, UBS AM did not owe the Funds any additional reductions in administration fees for independent trustees’ fees and expenses.

With respect to 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund, such Fund will bear all expenses not specifically assumed by UBS AM incurred in its operations and the offering of its shares. This Fund and 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 the Fund so that the Fund’s operating expenses through August 31, 2025 (excluding interest expense, if any, expenses related to shareholders’ meetings and extraordinary items) would not exceed 0.14%. The Fund has agreed to repay UBS AM for any waived management fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the three years following such waived fees/reimbursed expenses without causing the Fund’s expenses in any of those three years to exceed the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement, or (ii) at the time of recoupment. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund’s board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund’s contract with UBS AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS AM’s three year recoupment rights will survive.

The remaining Funds (that is, other than 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund) and UBS AM have entered into a written fee waiver agreement pursuant to which UBS AM is contractually obligated to waive its administration fees so that the total ordinary operating expenses of the Funds do not exceed 0.14% through August 31, 2025 for each of the funds. The fee waiver agreement may be terminated by the Funds’ Board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Funds’ contract with UBS AM. At October 31, 2024, taking both fee waiver arrangements mentioned above into account, UBS AM owed the Funds and for the period ended October 31, 2024, UBS was contractually obligated to waive, as follows, and such waived amounts are not subject to future recoupment, except with respect to 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund:

 

Fund      Amounts owed by UBS AM      Amounts waived by UBS AM
Government Preferred Fund      $ 567,301        $ 3,088,474

In addition, UBS AM may voluntarily undertake to waive fees, including in the event that the Funds’ yields drop below a certain level. This additional undertaking is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time. At October 31, 2024, there were no amounts owed by UBS AM for this undertaking.

Federal tax status

Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and to comply with all 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 Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

Tax-Free Preferred Fund        14,544,077                    

The tax character of distributions made and the components of accumulated earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after each Fund’s fiscal year ending April 30, 2025.

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 Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024, and since inception for the 100% US Treasury Preferred Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Reorganization of Fund

Following the close of business on August 23, 2024, the Target Fund reorganized into the existing Destination Fund within the Trust. The reorganization into the existing Destination Fund was as follows:

 

Target Fund    Destination Fund
UBS Select Prime Preferred Fund    UBS Prime Preferred Fund

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Target Fund transferred all of its property and assets to the Destination Fund. In exchange, the Destination Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the Target Fund and issued shares to the Target Fund, as described below. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of the Target Fund for shares of the Destination Fund outstanding following the close of business on August 23, 2024. The allocated cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the related feeder funds’ allocated realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to feeder fund shareholders for tax purposes.

Understanding a Master Fund’s expenses (unaudited)

 

(Note: The expense information provided in this section is relevant for direct investors in the Master Funds. Investors in the related “feeder funds” should instead focus on separate expense examples relevant to the particular feeder funds; the expense examples for the feeder funds will reflect their proportionate share of the corresponding Master Funds’ expenses.)

As an owner of a Master Fund, an investor such as a feeder fund incurs ongoing costs, including management fees and other Master Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand a Master Fund investor’s ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Master Fund 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, May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024.

Actual expenses

The first line in the table below for each Master Fund 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 entitled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the table below for each Master Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Master Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Master Fund’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 Master Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples 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 costs. Therefore, the second line in the table for each Master Fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, if those other funds impose transactional costs—for example, exchange fees. In addition, if those transactional costs were included, your costs for those other funds would have been higher.

Organization and significant accounting policies

Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund (each a “Master Fund”, collectively, the “Master Funds”) are each registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2007. The Trust is a series mutual fund with five series.

Treasury Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund commenced operations on August 28, 2007. Prime CNAV Master Fund commenced operations on January 19, 2016, Government Master Fund commenced operations on June 24, 2016, and 100% US Treasury Master Fund commenced operations on March 13, 2024.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”) (formerly, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc.) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Funds. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned 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.

Master Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

Each Master Fund may issue any number of interests and each interest shall have a par value of $0.001 per interest. The interests of a Master Fund shall represent a proportional beneficial interest in the net assets belonging to that series. Each holder of interests of a Master Fund shall be entitled to receive his or her pro rata share of all distributions made with respect to such Master Fund according to the investor’s ownership percentage of such Master Fund on the record date established for payment. Upon redemption of interests, an investor shall be paid solely out of the assets and property of such Master Fund. Beneficial interests in the Trust are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since such interests are issued in private placement transactions.

In the normal course of business, the Master Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Master Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Master Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Master Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments

Under Rule 2a-7, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund have adopted certain policies that enable them to use the amortized cost method of valuation. Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund, have adopted a policy to operate as “government money market funds”. Under Rule 2a-7, 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). Prime CNAV Master Fund and

Tax-Free Master Fund operate as “retail money market funds”. Under Rule 2a-7, a “retail money market fund” is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. As “government money market funds” and as “retail money market funds”, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund value their investments at amortized cost unless UBS AM, as the valuation designee appointed by Master Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, determines that this does not represent fair value. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of securities held by Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.

The Board has designated UBS AM as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and delegated to UBS AM the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to portfolio holdings. UBS AM, as the valuation designee, is responsible for periodically assessing any material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of investments; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing the appropriateness of fair value methodologies; and overseeing and evaluating third-party pricing services. UBS AM has the Equities, Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee (the “VC”) to assist with its designated responsibilities as valuation designee with respect to the Master Funds’ portfolios of investments. The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: investments of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; fixed-income investments that have gone into default and for which there is no current market value quotation; Section 4(a)(2) commercial paper; investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale; illiquid investments; and investments for which the prices or values available do not, in the judgment of the VC, represent current market value. The need to fair value a Master Fund’s portfolio of investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded investments. 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 investments are purchased and sold.

Each Master Fund’s portfolio holdings may also consist of shares of other investment companies in which the Master Fund invests. The value of each such open-end investment company will generally be its net asset value at the time a Master Fund’s beneficial interests are priced. Pursuant to each Master Fund’s use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies and/or investments in investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value. Each investment company generally values investments in a manner as described in that investment company’s prospectus or similar documents.

US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of each Master Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of each Master Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of each Master Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Liquidity fee—Consistent with Rule 2a-7, the Board is permitted to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions from each of Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund under certain circumstances. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount an interest holder receives upon redemption of its beneficial interests. Prime CNAV Master Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

and Tax-Free Master Fund retains the liquidity fees for the benefit of its remaining interest holders. For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Board of Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund did not impose any liquidity fees.

By operating as “government money market funds”, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund are exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Board may elect to subject Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Repurchase agreements—The Master Funds 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 Master Funds 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 Master Funds 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.

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 fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Master Funds 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 or a fund’s investment strategies and limitations may require the Master Fund 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 Master Funds 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 Master Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risk.

The Master Funds may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS AM. Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund and Prime CNAV Master Fund may engage in repurchase agreements as part of normal investing strategies; Tax-Free Master Fund generally would only engage in repurchase agreement transactions as temporary or defensive investments.

Under certain circumstances, a Master Fund may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Master Fund 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Master Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Deferred offering costs—Offering costs consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred with organizing and registering a fund. With respect to 100% US Treasury Master Fund, deferred offering costs are amortized over a period of 12 months.

Investment advisor and administrator

UBS AM serves as the investment advisor and administrator to each Master Fund pursuant to an investment advisory and administration contract (“Management Contract”) approved by the Board. In accordance with the Management Contract, each Master Fund pays UBS AM an investment advisory and administration fee (“management fee”), which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the below annual rates, as a percentage of each Master Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Average daily net assets      Annual rate
Up to $30 billion        0.1000
In excess of $30 billion up to $40 billion        0.0975  
In excess of $40 billion up to $50 billion        0.0950  
In excess of $50 billion up to $60 billion        0.0925  
Over $60 billion        0.0900  

At October 31, 2024, the Master Fund owed UBS AM for investment advisory and administration services, net of waivers (if any), as follows:

 

Fund      Net amount owed to UBS AM
Government Master Fund      $ 2,307,387  
Treasury Master Fund        3,621,284  
100% US Treasury Master Fund        563,003  
Prime CNAV Master Fund        2,036,055  
Tax-Free Master Fund        79,067  

In exchange for these fees, for each Master Fund except 100% US Treasury Master Fund, UBS AM has agreed to bear all of the Master Funds’ expenses other than interest (except interest on borrowings), taxes, extraordinary costs and the cost of securities purchased and sold by such Master Funds, including any transaction costs. Although UBS AM is not obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such Master Funds’ independent trustees, it is contractually obligated to reduce its management fee in an amount equal to those fees and expenses. UBS AM estimates that these fees and expenses will be less than 0.01% of each Master Fund’s average daily net assets.

With respect to 100% US Treasury Master Fund, such Master Fund will bear all expenses not specifically assumed by UBS AM incurred in its operations and the offering of its shares. UBS AM has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that this Master Fund’s ordinary total operating expenses through August 31, 2025 (excluding, as applicable, (i) dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales and (ii) investments in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses related to interestholders’ meetings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.10%. The contractual fee waiver agreement also provides that UBS AM is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the reimbursement of UBS AM by 100% US Treasury Master Fund will not cause such Master Fund to exceed the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for such Master Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Trust’s board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of such Master Fund’s management contract with UBS AM.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

Federal tax status

Each Master Fund is considered a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, no federal tax provision is necessary. As such, each investor in a Master Fund is treated as owning its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Fund. UBS AM intends that each Master Fund’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in a Master Fund will be able to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by investing its net assets through the Master Fund.

Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same for book purposes.

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 Master Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded, as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Master Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024 and since inception for 100% US Treasury Master Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Reorganization of Fund

Following the close of business on August 23, 2024, the Target Fund reorganized into the existing Destination Fund within the Trust. The reorganization into the existing Destination Fund was as follows:

 

Target Fund      Destination Fund
Prime Master Fund        Prime CNAV Master Fund  

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Target Fund transferred all of its property and assets to the Destination Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to respond to regulatory changes. In exchange, the applicable Destination Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the applicable Target Fund and issued interest(s) to the Target Fund, as described below. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of an interest(s) of the Target Fund for an interest(s) of the Destination Fund outstanding following the close of business on August 23, 2024. The allocated cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the related feeder funds’ allocated realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to feeder fund shareholders for tax purposes.

 

Target Fund    Destination Fund

Amount

Prime Master Fund      Prime CNAV Master Fund      $ 8,370,789,961

Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

Organization and significant accounting policies

Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund (the “Fund”) is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”) an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 29, 1998. The Trust is a series mutual fund with fifteen series. The financial statements for the other series of the Trust are not included herein. The Fund commenced operations on April 11, 2017.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Fund. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned 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 series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Fund’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.

This Fund is privately offered, and its shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”).

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments— Consistent with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, as amended (“Rule 2a-7”), the net asset value of the Fund is calculated using market-based values, and the price of its shares fluctuate.

US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Floating net asset value per share fund—The Fund calculates its net asset value to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000) using market-based pricing and expects that its share price will fluctuate.

Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

On occasion, it is possible that the end of day accounting net asset value (“NAV”) per share of a floating NAV fund (“FNAV”), as reported in a shareholder report, for example, may differ from the transactional NAV per share (used for purposes of processing purchases and redemptions); while this is not expected to occur with great frequency, it may happen should certain factors align on a given business day. The final end-of-day NAV per share for accounting and financial statement reporting purposes is designed to reflect all end-of-day accounting activities, which may include, but are not limited to, income and expense accruals, dividend and distribution reinvestments as well as final share activity; such items are factored into the Fund after the last transactional NAV per share is calculated on a given day (normally, the transactional NAV per share is calculated as of 3 pm, Eastern time, as explained in the Fund’s offering document).

Liquidity fee — By operating as a “government money market fund”, the Fund is exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Board may elect to subject the Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Repurchase agreements—The Fund may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Fund maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Fund and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily 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 the Fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds, equities and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. Moreover, repurchase agreements secured by obligations that are not eligible for direct investment under the Fund’s investment strategies and limitations, may require the Fund 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 Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risk.

The Fund may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS AM. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its Fund at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Fund 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 from investment income and distributions from 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Investment advisor and administrator and other transactions with affiliates

The Fund’s Board of Trustees has approved an investment advisory and administration contract (the “Advisory Contract”) with UBS AM, under which UBS AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays UBS AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly. UBS AM’s contract fee for the advisory and administration services it provides to the Fund is 0.12% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. At October 31, 2024, UBS AM is owed $478,965 by the Fund, representing investment advisory and administration fees.

The Fund and UBS AM have entered into a written fee waiver agreement pursuant to which UBS AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees so that the total ordinary operating expenses of the Fund through August 31, 2024, do not exceed 0.06%. The fee waiver agreement may be terminated by the Fund’s board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund’s contract with UBS AM. For the period ended October 31, 2024, UBS AM waived $1,511,172 in investment advisory and administration fees; such amount is not subject to future recoupment. At October 31, 2024, UBS AM owed the Fund $264,577 in fee waivers. The amount owed by or (owed to) UBS AM is shown at a net level on the statement of assets and liabilities.

In exchange for these fees, UBS AM has agreed to bear all of the Fund’s expenses other than interest, taxes, extraordinary costs and the cost of securities purchased and sold by the Fund, including any transaction costs. Although UBS AM is not obligated to pay the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent trustees, it is contractually obligated to reduce its management fee in an amount equal to those fees and expenses. UBS AM estimates that the independent trustees’ fees and expenses will be 0.01% or less of the Fund’s average daily net assets, and that the amount disclosed in the paragraph above for accrued advisory and administration fees is net of independent trustees’ fees and expenses previously paid. At October 31, 2024, UBS AM did not owe the Fund any additional reductions in management fees for independent trustees’ fees and expenses.

UBS AM may also voluntarily waive fees/reimburse expenses in the event that Fund yields drop below a certain level. This additional undertaking is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time. For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Fund did not have this additional waiver.

Shares of beneficial interest

There is an unlimited amount of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest, for which the NAV per share has fluctuated, were as follows:

Federal tax status

The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2024, was ordinary income in the amount of $268,369,134.

Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same for book purposes; and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) consisted of:

 

Gross unrealized appreciation    $ 674,682  
Gross unrealized depreciation      (220,204
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)      454,478  

Net capital losses recognized by the Fund may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. These carryforwards are available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of future realized capital gains. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed. At April 30, 2024, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $216,146 in short term capital losses.

The tax character of distributions made and components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Fund’s fiscal year ending April 30, 2025.

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 Fund has conducted an analysis and concluded as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. It is the Fund’s policy to record any significant foreign tax exposures on the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2024 the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Organization and significant accounting policies

UBS Ultra Short Income Fund (the “Fund”) is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 29, 1998. The Trust is a series mutual fund with fifteen series. The financial statements for the other series of the Trust are not included herein.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM or the “Advisor”), formerly known as UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc., serves as the investment advisor and administrator for the Fund. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned 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 Fund currently offers Class A, Class P and Class I shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the Fund, and the classes are identical except for differences in ongoing service fees and certain transfer agency and related services expenses and certain fee waiver/expense reimbursement/cap arrangements as discussed further below. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that Class A shares have exclusive voting rights with respect to its service plan.

In the normal course of business the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Fund’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.

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 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 Fund, 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 investment income and distributions from 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet its obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Valuation of investments

The Fund generally calculates its net asset value on days that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. The Fund 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 Fund does not price its shares, on most national holidays and Good Friday. To the extent that the Fund’s assets are traded in other markets on days when the NYSE is not open, the value of the Fund’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, the Fund’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 the Fund calculates its net asset value and until which purchase, sale or exchange orders are accepted may be changed as permitted by the SEC.

The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio investments. The Fund normally obtains market values for its 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 UBS AM as the valuation designee appointed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the NYSE.

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 UBS AM determines that this does not represent fair value.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Pursuant to the Fund’s use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, investments in investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value.

The Board has designated UBS AM as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and delegated to UBS AM the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to portfolio holdings. UBS AM,

 

12

as the valuation designee, is responsible for periodically assessing any material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of investments; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing the appropriateness of fair value methodologies; and overseeing and evaluating third party pricing services. UBS AM has the Equities, Fixed Income and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee (the “VC”) to assist with its designated responsibilities as valuation designee. 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 Fund’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 Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Investments

Asset-backed securities—The Fund 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.

Mortgage-backed securities—The Fund 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 Company 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 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.

Repurchase agreements—The Fund may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Fund maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Fund and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily 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 the Fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds, equities and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. Moreover, repurchase agreements secured by obligations that are not eligible for direct investment under the Fund’s investment strategies and limitations, may require

 

14


UBS Ultra Short Income Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

the Fund 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 Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

The Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risk.

The Fund may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS AM. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its Fund at the end of the day in order to avoid having the Fund potentially exposed to a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank. At October 31, 2024, the Fund was not invested in any repurchase agreements.

Restricted securities: The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in the Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Investment advisor and administrator fees and other transactions with affiliates

The Board has approved an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract (the “Advisory Contract”), under which UBS AM serves as investment advisor and administrator of the Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund is to pay UBS AM an investment advisory fee and an administration fee, which is to be accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rates of 0.20% and 0.10%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets. At October 31, 2024, the Fund owed UBS AM $42,364 representing investment advisory and administration fees net of fee waivers/expense reimbursements.

UBS AM has contractually undertaken to waive fees/reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses, when necessary, to maintain the total annual operating expenses (excluding (1) dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expense relating to short sales, and (2) expenses related to investments in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses related to shareholders’ meetings and extraordinary expenses, if any) of Class A, Class P and Class I shares at a level not to exceed 0.35%, 0.25% and 0.23% of average daily net assets, respectively through August 31, 2025. For the period ended October 31, 2024, UBS AM waived $330,522 in investment advisory and administration fees. UBS AM may recoup from the Fund any such waived fees/reimbursed expenses during the following three fiscal years, to the extent that ordinary operating expenses (with certain exclusions such as dividend expense, borrowing costs and interest expense) are otherwise below the applicable expense cap in effect at the time the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.

For the period ended October 31, 2024, UBS AM did not voluntarily waive any additional fees.

Service plan

UBS Asset Management (US) Inc. (“UBS AM (US)”) is the principal underwriter of the Fund’s shares. The Fund has adopted a service plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class A shares. The Plan governs payments made for the expenses incurred in the service of Class A shares. The Fund pays UBS AM (US) monthly service fees at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. At October 31, 2024, the Fund owed UBS AM (US) $3,705 for service fees.

Transfer agency and related services fees

UBS Financial Services Inc. provides certain services to the Fund pursuant to a delegation of authority from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”), the Fund’s transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by BNY Mellon, not the Fund. For the period ended October 31, 2024, UBS Financial Services Inc. received from BNY Mellon, not the Fund, $18,704 of the total transfer agency and related service fees paid by the Fund to BNY Mellon.

Securities lending

The Fund may lend securities up to 3313% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are initially 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. In the event that the market value of the cash, US government securities, and irrevocable letters of credit securing the loan falls below 100% for domestic securities, and 103% for foreign securities, the borrower must provide additional cash, US government securities, and irrevocable letters of credit so that the total securing the loan is at least 102% of the market value for domestic securities and 105% of the market value for foreign securities.

The Fund may regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, US government 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 Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, which is included in the Fund’s Portfolio of investments. State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Fund’s lending agent.

At October 31, 2024, the Fund did not have any securities on loan.

Bank line of credit

The Fund participates with other funds managed by UBS AM in a $185 million committed credit facility (the “Committed Credit Facility”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company. The Committed Credit Facility is to be

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the participating Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. The expiration date of the line of credit agreement is March 31, 2025.

Interest on amounts borrowed is calculated based on the prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowing. The funds covered by the Committed Credit Facility have agreed to pay an annual 25 basis point (i.e., 0.25%) commitment fee on the average daily balance of the Committed Credit Facility not utilized. Commitment fees have been allocated among the funds in the Committed Credit Facility as follows: 50% of the allocation is based on the relative asset size of funds and the other 50% of the allocation is based on utilization.

For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Fund did not borrow under the Committed Credit Facility.

Purchases and sales of securities

For the period ended October 31, 2024, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $79,015,463 and $130,561,047, respectively.

Shares of beneficial interest

There is an unlimited amount of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

Federal tax status

The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 was ordinary income in the amount of $24,932,682.

The tax character of distributions made and components of accumulated earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Fund’s fiscal year ending April 30, 2025.

For federal income tax purposes, the estimated cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in value of investments held at October 31, 2024 were as follows:

 

Cost of investments      Gross unrealized
appreciation
     Gross unrealized
depreciation
     Net Unrealized
appreciation
(depreciation)
on investments
$364,748,294      $ 386,953        $ (150,702      $ 236,251  

Net capital losses recognized by the Fund may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. These carryforwards are available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of future realized capital gains. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed. At April 30, 2024, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $27,775,867 in short-term and $11,990,077 in long-term capital losses.

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 Fund has analyzed and concluded as of April 30, 2024 that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period ended April 30, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, gains on certain securities held in certain foreign countries may be subject to taxes that will be paid by the Fund.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Organization and significant accounting policies

Cantor Fitzgerald Government Money Market Fund (“Cantor Fitzgerald Government Fund” or the “Fund”) is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 29, 1998. The Trust is a series mutual fund with fifteen series. The financial statements for the other series of the Trust are not included herein.

Cantor Fitzgerald Government Fund is a “feeder fund” that invests substantially all of its assets in a “master fund”—Government Master Fund (the “Master Fund”, a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end investment company registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act). The feeder fund and its respective Master Fund have the same investment objectives. Cantor Fitzgerald Government Fund Investor Shares and Institutional Shares commenced operations on January 16, 2024, and March 25, 2024, respectively.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Fund and the administrator for the Fund. UBS Asset Management (US) Inc. (“UBS AM—US”) serves as principal underwriter for the Fund. 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.

The performance of the Fund is directly affected by the performance of the Master Fund. The value of such investment reflects the Fund’s proportionate interest in the net assets of the Master Fund (0.37% at October 31, 2024).

All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment activities of the Master Fund are allocated pro rata, based on respective ownership interests, among the Fund and other investors in the Master Fund (e.g., other feeder funds) at the time of such determination. The financial statements of the Master Fund, including the Portfolio of investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in connection with the Fund’s financial statements. The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—The Fund records its investment in the Master Fund at fair value. Securities held by the Master Fund are valued as indicated in the Master Fund’s Notes to financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Constant net asset value per share—Cantor Fitzgerald Government Fund attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. There is no assurance, however, that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The Fund and the Master Fund have adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend/distribution policies in an attempt to enable the Fund to do so. Cantor Fitzgerald Government Fund and the Master Fund have each adopted a policy to operate as a “government money market fund”. Under Rule 2a-7 of the

Cantor Fitzgerald Government Money Market Fund

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

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) (either directly or through a related master portfolio). As a “government money market fund”, Cantor Fitzgerald Government Fund 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”, Cantor Fitzgerald Government Fund is exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee and/or temporary redemption gates. While the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may elect to subject Cantor Fitzgerald Government Fund to liquidity fee and gate requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from investment income and distributions from 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

 

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 Fund has conducted an analysis and concluded as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

For the period since inception, the Fund remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

Understanding a Master Fund’s expenses (unaudited) 

 

(Note: The expense information provided in this section is relevant for direct investors in the Master Funds. Investors in the related “feeder funds” should instead focus on separate expense examples relevant to the particular feeder funds; the expense examples for the feeder funds will reflect their proportionate share of the corresponding Master Funds’ expenses.)

As an owner of a Master Fund, an investor such as a feeder fund incurs ongoing costs, including management fees and other Master Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand a Master Fund investor’s ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Master Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024.

Actual expenses

The first line in the table below for each Master Fund 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 entitled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the table below for each Master Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Master Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Master Fund’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 Master Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples 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 costs. Therefore, the second line in the table for each Master Fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, if those other funds impose transactional costs—for example, exchange fees. In addition, if those transactional costs were included, your costs for those other funds would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Master Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 divided by 365 (to reflect the one–half year period).

You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although Government Master Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment so that the shares of each related feeder fund are at $1.00 per share, Government Master Fund cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in a money market fund is not a bank account and not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. A money market fund’s sponsor is not required to reimburse the fund for losses, and you should not expect that the fund’s sponsor will provide financial support to a money market fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.

Not FDIC insured. May lose value. No bank guarantee.

Government Master Fund

Notes to financial statements

 

Organization and significant accounting policies

Government Master Fund (the “Master Fund”) is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2007. Government Master Fund commenced operations on June 24, 2016.

UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Funds. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned 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.

Master Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

In the normal course of business, the Master Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Master Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Master Fund has not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (“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 Master Fund’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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments

Under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, as amended (“Rule 2a-7”), Government Master Fund has adopted a policy to operate as a “government money market fund”. Under Rule 2a-7, 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”, Government Master Fund values its investments at amortized cost unless UBS AM, as the valuation designee appointed by Master Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act determines that this does not represent fair value. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of securities held by Government Master Fund is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.

The Board has designated UBS AM as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and delegated to UBS AM the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to portfolio holdings. UBS AM, as the valuation designee, is responsible for periodically assessing any material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of investments; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing the appropriateness of fair value methodologies; and overseeing and evaluating third-party pricing services. UBS AM has the Equities, Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee (the “VC”) to assist with its designated responsibilities as valuation designee with respect to the Master Fund’s portfolio of investments. The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: investments of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; fixed-income investments that have gone into default and for which there is no current market value quotation; Section 4(a)(2) commercial paper; investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale; illiquid invest-

Notes to financial statements

 

ments; and investments for which the prices or values available do not, in the judgment of the VC, represent current market value. The need to fair value the Master Fund’s portfolio of investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded investments. 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 investments are purchased and sold.

The Master Fund’s portfolio holdings may also consist of shares of other investment companies in which the Master Fund invests. The value of each such open-end investment company will generally be its net asset value at the time a Master Fund’s beneficial interests are priced. Pursuant to the Master Fund’s use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies and/or investments in investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value. Each investment company generally values investments in a manner as described in that investment company’s prospectus or similar documents.

US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Master Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Master Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of the Master Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Liquidity fee—By operating as a “government money market fund”, Government Master Fund is exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Board may elect to subject Government Master Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.

Repurchase agreements—Government Master Fund may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. Government Master Fund maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both Government Master Fund 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 fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, Government Master Fund 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 or a fund’s investment strategies and limitations may require Government Master Fund to promptly dispose of such collateral if the seller or guarantor becomes insolvent. If the seller (or seller’s guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, Government Master Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the

Government Master Fund

Notes to financial statements

 

other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. Government Master Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risk.

Government Master Fund may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS AM. The Master Fund may engage in repurchase agreements as part of normal investing strategies.

Under certain circumstances, Government Master Fund may engage in a repurchase agreement transaction with a yield of zero in order to invest cash amounts remaining in its portfolio at the end of the day in order to avoid having Government Master Fund 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.

Concentration of risk—The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Master Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Investment advisor and administrator

UBS AM serves as the investment advisor and administrator to the Master Fund pursuant to an investment advisory and administration contract (“Management Contract”) approved by the Board. In accordance with the Management Contract, the Master Fund pays UBS AM an investment advisory and administration fee (“management fee”), which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the below annual rates, as a percentage of the Master Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Average daily net assets    Annual rate
Up to $30 billion      0.1000
In excess of $30 billion up to $40 billion      0.0975  
In excess of $40 billion up to $50 billion      0.0950  
In excess of $50 billion up to $60 billion      0.0925  
Over $60 billion      0.0900  

At October 31, 2024, the Master Fund owed UBS AM for investment advisory and administration services, net of waivers (if any), as follows:

 

Fund    Net amount owed to UBS AM
Government Master Fund    $ 2,307,387  

In exchange for these fees, UBS AM has agreed to bear all of the Master Fund’s, expenses other than taxes, extraordinary costs and the cost of securities purchased and sold by the Master Fund, including any transaction costs. Although UBS AM is not obligated to pay the fees and expenses of the Master Fund’s independent trustees, it is contractually obligated to reduce its management fee in an amount equal to those fees and expenses. UBS AM estimates that these fees and expenses will be 0.01% or less of the Master Fund’s average daily net assets. At October 31, 2024, UBS AM did not owe the Master Fund any additional reductions in administration fees for independent trustees’ fees and expenses.

In addition, UBS AM may voluntarily undertake to waive fees. This additional undertaking is voluntary and not contractual and may be terminated at any time. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Master Fund did not incur this additional waiver.

Federal tax status

Government Master Fund is considered a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, no federal tax provision is necessary. As such, each investor in the Master Fund is treated as owning its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Fund. UBS AM intends that the Master Fund’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in the Master Fund will be able to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by investing its net assets through the Master Fund.

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 Master Fund has conducted an analysis and concluded, as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Master Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Master Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

(a) UBS Series Funds – UBS Liquid Assets Government Fund

Background—At a meeting of the board of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”) on July 25-26, 2024, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the continuance of the investment advisory and administration contract (the “Investment Advisory and Administration Contract”) of the Trust with respect to its series, UBS Liquid Assets Government Fund (the “Fund”), with UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”). In preparing for the meeting, the Independent Trustees had requested and received extensive information from UBS AM to assist them, including information about UBS AM, as well as the advisory, administrative and distribution arrangements for the Fund. The board reviewed and discussed with management the materials provided by UBS AM prior to the scheduled board meeting. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session to review the disclosure that had been made to them. At these sessions the Independent Trustees were joined by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering the approval of advisory, administration and distribution agreements.

In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract, the board reviewed the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of advisory services provided to the Fund by UBS AM under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract during the past year. The board also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, distribution and shareholder services performed by UBS AM and its affiliates for the Fund and the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS AM concerning the management of the Fund’s affairs and UBS AM’s role in coordinating and overseeing providers of other services to the Fund. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by UBS AM took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS AM’s investment advisory and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund’s expanded compliance programs.

The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel at UBS AM responsible for the Fund and had previously met with and received information regarding the persons primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The board recognized that several senior personnel at UBS AM report to the board regularly and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed report from UBS AM on the Fund’s performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS AM and its parent organization, UBS Group AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It also was noted that UBS AM had approximately $395 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2024 and was part of the UBS Asset Management Division, which had approximately $1.2 trillion in assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2024. The board also was cognizant of, and considered, the financial combination transactions, regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past few years involving UBS Group AG, UBS AM and certain of their affiliates.

The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract.

Advisory fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual advisory and administration fee (the “Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by UBS AM. The board also reviewed and considered the fee waiver and/or expense


reimbursement arrangement implemented for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers and/or reimbursements into account) (the “Actual Management Fee”).

The board noted that UBS AM currently voluntarily waives its entire management/administrative fees due from the Fund. The board also noted that UBS AM could change or terminate this voluntary waiver at any time in the future. Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Broadridge, an independent provider of investment company data (the “Expense Group”).

In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s management fees, the board also received information from UBS AM with respect to fees paid by institutional or separate accounts; however, in management’s view, such fee information was not very relevant to the Fund because, among other reasons, separately managed and institutional accounts with a “cash” mandate (a) were not subject to all of the constraints of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act to which the Fund is subject and (b) do not involve the management responsibilities attendant to the operation of a 1940 Act regulated fund, and, therefore, were not totally comparable. The board also received information on fees charged to other mutual funds managed by UBS AM.

The comparative Broadridge information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were below the respective medians in the Fund’s Expense Group (Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were lowest in the Expense Group) for the comparison periods utilized in the Broadridge report. (Below median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are lower relative to the median, and above median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are higher relative to the median of the funds in the Expense Group.)

In light of the foregoing, the board determined that the management fee continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract.

Fund performance—The board received and considered (a) annualized total return information of the Fund compared to other funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Broadridge over the one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2024 and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year period ended April 30, 2024. Although the board received information for the ten-year and since inception periods, in its analysis, it generally placed greater emphasis on the one-, three- and five-year periods. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in its Performance Universe. The board also noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to the Fund’s performance.

The comparative Broadridge information showed that the Fund’s performance was above the Performance Universe median for all comparative periods, ranking in the first quintile for all comparative periods. (Below median performance represents performance that is worse relative to the median, and above median performance represents performance that is better relative to


the median.) Based on its review, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was acceptable.

Advisor profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund and was provided information on UBS AM’s expense allocation methodology. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. The board observed that the profitability and expense analyses are substantially similar to those used by UBS AM for many internal purposes, and are subject to regular review with respect to how certain revenues and expenses should be allocated. UBS AM’s profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of scale—The board received and considered information from management regarding whether UBS AM realized economies of scale as the Fund’s assets grew, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any material unshared economies of scale over time, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale for the Fund. The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders.

The board noted that because UBS AM currently voluntarily waives its entire management/administrative fees due from the Fund, a discussion regarding breakpoints was not necessary.

Generally, in light of UBS AM’s profitability data, the Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee, and the voluntary fee waiver currently in effect, the board believed that UBS AM’s sharing of potential and current economies of scale with the Fund was acceptable.

Other benefits to UBS AM—The board considered other benefits received by UBS AM and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders. In light of the costs of providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Fund and UBS AM’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.

In light of all of the foregoing, the board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract. No single factor reviewed by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS AM were present.


(b) UBS Series Funds – Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund

Background—At a meeting of the board of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”) on July 25-26, 2024, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the continuance of the management contract (the “Management Contract”) of the Trust with respect to its series, Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund (the “Fund”), with UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”). In preparing for the meeting, the Independent Trustees had requested and received extensive information from UBS AM to assist them, including information about UBS AM, as well as the advisory, administrative and distribution arrangements for the Fund. The board reviewed and discussed with management the materials provided by UBS AM prior to the scheduled board meeting. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session to review the disclosure that had been made to them. At these sessions the Independent Trustees were joined by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering the approval of advisory, administration and distribution agreements.

In its consideration of the approval of the Management Contract, the board reviewed the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Management Contract—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of management services provided to the Fund by UBS AM under the Management Contract during the past year. The board recognized that although the Fund is registered under the 1940 Act, unlike the other existing series of the Trust, the Fund’s shares are privately offered and, therefore, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The board also recognized that the Fund is currently offered exclusively to funds advised by AQR Capital Management, LLC or its affiliates for specific purposes. The board also considered the nature, extent and quality of management services performed by UBS AM and its affiliates for the Fund and the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS AM concerning the management of the Fund’s affairs and UBS AM’s role in coordinating and overseeing providers of other services to the Fund. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by UBS AM took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope


and quality of UBS AM’s investment advisory and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund’s expanded compliance programs.

The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel at UBS AM responsible for the Fund and had previously met with and received information regarding the persons primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The board recognized that several senior personnel at UBS AM report to the board regularly and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed report from UBS AM on the Fund’s performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS AM and its parent organization, UBS Group AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It also was noted that UBS AM had approximately $395 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2024 and was part of the UBS Asset Management Division, which had approximately $1.2 trillion in assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2024. The board also was cognizant of, and considered, the financial combination transactions, regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past few years involving UBS Group AG, UBS AM and certain of their affiliates.

The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Management Contract.

Management fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the “Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by UBS AM. The board also reviewed and considered the fee waiver arrangement implemented for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers into account) (the “Actual Management Fee”). Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Broadridge, an independent provider of investment company data (the “Expense Group”).

In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s management fees, the board also received information from UBS AM with respect to fees paid by institutional or separate accounts; however, in management’s view, such fee information was not very relevant to


the Fund because, among other reasons, separately managed and institutional accounts with a “cash” mandate (a) were not subject to all of the constraints of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act to which the Fund is subject and (b) do not involve the management responsibilities attendant to the operation of a 1940 Act regulated fund, and, therefore, were not totally comparable. The board also received information on fees charged to other mutual funds managed by UBS AM. The board considered UBS AM’s belief that the level of services that it provides to the Fund is more streamlined than that which is provided to the publicly-offered UBS money market funds, and that by providing a more streamlined level of services to, in effect, a single client, UBS AM believes that it currently incurs minimal additional costs in managing the Fund.

The comparative Broadridge information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were below the respective medians in the Fund’s Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Broadridge report. (Below median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are lower relative to the median, and above median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are higher relative to the median of the funds in the Expense Group.)

In light of the foregoing, the board determined that the management fee continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Management Contract.

Fund performance—The board received and considered annualized total return information of the Fund compared to other funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Broadridge over the one-, three- and five-year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2024. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in its Performance Universe. The board also noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to the Fund’s performance.

The comparative Broadridge information showed that the Fund’s performance was only slightly below the Performance Universe median for all comparative periods. (Below median performance represents performance that is worse relative to the median, and above median performance represents performance that is better relative to the median.) Based on its review, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was acceptable.

Advisor profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund and was provided information on UBS


AM’s expense allocation methodology. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. The board observed that the profitability and expense analyses are substantially similar to those used by UBS AM for many internal purposes, and are subject to regular review with respect to how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. UBS AM’s profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders.

Generally, in light of UBS AM’s profitability data, the Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee, and the fee waiver currently in effect, the board believed that UBS AM’s sharing of potential and current economies of scale with the Fund was acceptable.

Other benefits to UBS AM—The board considered other benefits received by UBS AM and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders. In light of the costs of providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Fund and UBS AM’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.

In light of all of the foregoing, the board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Management Contract. No single factor reviewed by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Management Contract. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Management Contract in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS AM were present.

(c) UBS Series Funds – UBS Ultra Short Income Fund

Background—At a meeting of the board of UBS Series Funds (the “Trust”) on July 25-26, 2024, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the continuance of the investment advisory and administration contract (the “Investment Advisory and Administration


Contract”) of the Trust with respect to its series, UBS Ultra Short Income Fund (the “Fund”), with UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (“UBS AM”). In preparing for the meeting, the Independent Trustees had requested and received extensive information from UBS AM to assist them, including information about UBS AM, as well as the advisory, administrative and distribution arrangements for the Fund. The board reviewed and discussed with management the materials provided by UBS AM prior to the scheduled board meeting. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session to review the disclosure that had been made to them. At these sessions the Independent Trustees were joined by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering the approval of advisory, administration and distribution agreements.

In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract, the board reviewed the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of advisory services provided to the Fund by UBS AM under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract during the past year. The board also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, distribution and shareholder services performed by UBS AM and its affiliates for the Fund and the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS AM concerning the management of the Fund’s affairs and UBS AM’s role in coordinating and overseeing providers of other services to the Fund. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by UBS AM took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS AM’s investment advisory and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund’s expanded compliance programs.

The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel at UBS AM responsible for the Fund and had previously met with and received information regarding the persons primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The board recognized that several senior personnel at UBS AM report to the board regularly and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed report from UBS AM on the Fund’s performance. The board also considered, based


on its knowledge of UBS AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS AM and its parent organization, UBS Group AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It also was noted that UBS AM had approximately $395 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2024 and was part of the UBS Asset Management Division, which had approximately $1.2 trillion in assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2024. The board also was cognizant of, and considered, the financial combination transactions, regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past few years involving UBS Group AG, UBS AM and certain of their affiliates.

The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract.

Advisory fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (the “Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by UBS AM. The board also reviewed and considered the fee waiver arrangement implemented for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers into account) (the “Actual Management Fee”). Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Broadridge, an independent provider of investment company data (the “Expense Group”).

In addition, pursuant to a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, UBS AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse the Fund so that the Fund’s ordinary total annual operating expenses through August 31, 2025 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, interest expense relating to short sales, expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses related to shareholders’ meetings and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed 0.35% for Class A shares, 0.23% for Class I shares and 0.25% for Class P shares. The board also considered that the Fund has agreed to repay UBS AM for those waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses if the Fund can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing its expenses in any of those years to exceed the expense caps.

In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s management fees, the board also received information on UBS AM’s standard institutional account fees for accounts of a similar investment type to the Fund. The board noted management’s explanation that comparisons with such accounts may be of limited relevance given the different structures


and regulatory requirements of mutual funds, such as the Fund, versus those accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by the Fund and those accounts. The board also received information on fees charged to other mutual funds managed by UBS AM.

The comparative Broadridge information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were below the respective medians in the Fund’s Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Broadridge report. (Below median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are lower relative to the median, and above median fees or expenses represent fees or expenses that are higher relative to the median of the funds in the Expense Group.)

In light of the foregoing, the board determined that the management fee continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract.

The board also noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to the Fund’s performance.

The comparative Broadridge information showed that the Fund’s performance was below, but reasonably close to, the Performance Universe median for all comparative periods. (Below median performance represents performance that is worse relative to the median, and above median performance represents performance that is better relative to the median.) Based on its review, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was acceptable.

Advisor profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund and was provided information on UBS AM’s expense allocation methodology.
