Total investment return at net asset value is based on changes in the net asset value of Fund shares and assumes reinvestment of distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the Fund’s dividend reinvestment program. Total investment return at market value is based on changes in the market price at which the Fund’s shares traded on the stock exchange during the period and assumes reinvestment of distributions, if any, at actual prices pursuant to the Fund’s dividend reinvestment program. Because the Fund’s shares trade in the stock market based on investor demand, the Fund may trade at a price higher or lower than its NAV. Therefore, returns are calculated based on NAV and market price (See Note 6). |
3 |
Portfolio turnover is calculated by dividing the lesser of total purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the reporting period by the monthly average of portfolio securities owned during the reporting period. Excluded from both the numerator and denominator are amounts relating to derivatives and securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less. |

| • | The Contractual Advisory Fee, reviewed along with information provided by Broadridge for the funds in the Fund’s Expense Group and Expense Universe, was reasonable in relation to the services provided by UBS AM (Americas). |
| • | The Board was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by UBS AM (Americas) and that, based on dialogue with management and counsel, the services provided by UBS AM (Americas) under the Advisory Agreement are typical of, and consistent with, those provided to similar mutual funds by other investment advisers. |

5
The Board believes that the voting of proxies on securities held by the Fund is an important element of the overall investment process. As such, the Board has delegated the responsibility to vote such proxies to UBS AM (Americas). Following is a summary of UBS AM (Americas)’s proxy voting policy.
You may obtain information about the Funds’ proxy voting decisions for the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, without charge, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1-877 870-2874 or on the EDGAR database on the SEC’s Web Site (www.sec.gov).
The proxy voting policy of UBS AM (Americas) is based on its belief that voting rights have economic value and should be treated accordingly. Good corporate governance should in the long term, lead towards better corporate performance and improved shareholder value. Generally, UBS AM (Americas) expects the boards of directors of companies issuing securities held by its clients to act in the service of the shareholders, view themselves as stewards of the company, exercise good judgment and practice diligent oversight of the management of the company. A commitment to acting in as transparent a manner as possible is fundamental to good governance. While there is no absolute set of rules that determine appropriate corporate governance under all circumstances and no set of rules will guarantee ethical board behavior, there are certain principles, which provide evidence of good corporate governance. UBS AM (Americas) may delegate to an independent proxy voting and research service the authority to exercise the voting rights associated with certain client holdings. Any such delegation shall be made with the direction that the votes be exercised in accordance with UBS AM (Americas)’s proxy voting policy.
When UBS AM (Americas)’s view of a company’s management is favorable, UBS AM (Americas) generally supports current management initiatives. When UBS AM (Americas)’s view is that changes to the management structure would probably increase shareholder value, UBS AM (Americas) may not support existing management proposals. In general, UBS AM (Americas) generally exercises voting rights in accordance with the following principles: (1) with respect to board structure, (a) an effective chairman is key, (b) the roles of chairman and chief executive generally should be separated, (c) board members should have appropriate and diverse experience and be capable of providing good judgment and diligent oversight of management of the company, (d) the board should include executive and non-executive members, and (e) the non-executive members should provide a challenging, but generally supportive environment; and (2) with respect to board responsibilities, (a) the whole board should be fully involved in endorsing strategy and in all major strategic decisions, and (b) the board should ensure that at all times (i) appropriate management succession plans are in place; (ii) the interests of executives and shareholders are aligned; and financial audit is independent and accurate; (iii) the brand and reputation of the company is protected and enhanced; (iv) a constructive dialogue with shareholders is encouraged; and (v) it receives all the information necessary to hold management accountable. In addition, UBS AM (Americas) focuses on the following areas of concern when voting its clients’ securities: economic value resulting from acquisitions or disposals; operational performance; quality of management; independent non-executive board directors not holding executive management accountable; quality of internal controls; lack of transparency; inadequate succession planning; poor approach to corporate social
6
responsibility; inefficient management structure; and corporate activity designed to frustrate the ability of shareholders to hold the board accountable or realize the maximum value of their investment. UBS AM (Americas) exercises its voting rights in accordance with overarching rationales outlined by its proxy voting policies and procedures that are based on the principles described above.
The proxy voting policy includes guidelines regarding environmental, social, and corporate governance (“ESG”) factors during the exercise of voting rights on behalf of UBS AM’s clients, such as the Funds. Underlying UBS AM’s voting and ESG guidelines are two fundamental objectives: (1) acting in the best financial interest of clients and enhancing the long-term value of their investments; and (2) promoting best practice in corporate governance and ensuring that portfolio companies are sustainable and successful.
UBS AM (Americas) has implemented procedures designed to address a conflict of interest in voting a particular proxy proposal, which may arise as a result of its or its affiliates’ client relationships, marketing efforts or banking, investment banking and broker-dealer activities. To address such conflicts, UBS AM (Americas) has imposed information barriers between it and its affiliates who conduct banking, investment banking and broker-dealer activities and has implemented procedures to prevent business, sales and marketing issues from influencing its proxy votes. Whenever UBS AM (Americas) becomes aware of a conflict with respect to a particular proxy, and under certain circumstances, the relevant internal UBS AM (Americas) committee may be notified and determine the manner in which such proxy is voted.

*As of December 31, 2024, Messrs. Popp, Mechlin, Shedroff and Adelman, and Ms. Chan managed 65 accounts which have total assets under management of $36,186 million, of which have additional fees based on the performance of the accounts.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
It is possible that conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the portfolio managers’ management of the Funds’ investments on the one hand and the investments of other accounts on the other. For example, the portfolio managers may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time, resources and investment opportunities among the Funds and other accounts they advise. In addition due to differences in the investment strategies or restrictions between the Funds and the other accounts, the portfolio managers may take action with respect to another account that
8
differs from the action taken with respect to the Funds. UBS AM (Americas) has adopted policies and procedures that are designed to minimize the effects of these conflicts.
If UBS AM (Americas) believes that the purchase or sale of a security is in the best interest of more than one client, it may (but is not obligated to) aggregate the orders to be sold or purchased to seek favorable execution or lower brokerage commissions, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations. UBS AM (Americas) may aggregate orders if all participating client accounts benefit equally (i.e., all receive an average price of the aggregated orders). In the event UBS AM (Americas) aggregates an order for participating accounts, the method of allocation will generally be determined prior to the trade execution. Although no specific method of allocation of transactions (as well as expenses incurred in the transactions) is expected to be used, allocations will be designed to ensure that over time all clients receive fair treatment consistent with UBS AM (Americas)’s fiduciary duty to its clients (including its duty to seek to obtain best execution of client trades). The accounts aggregated may include registered and unregistered investment companies managed by UBS AM (Americas)’s affiliates and accounts in which UBS AM (Americas)’s officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates own interests. UBS AM (Americas) may not be able to aggregate securities transactions for clients who direct the use of a particular broker-dealer, and the client also may not benefit from any improved execution or lower commissions that may be available for such transactions.
Compensation
John Popp Wing Chan, David Mechlin, Joshua Shedroff and Michael Adelman are compensated for their services by UBS AM (Americas). Their compensation consists of a fixed base salary and a discretionary bonus that is not tied by formula to the performance of any fund or account. The factors taken into account in determining each of their bonuses includes the Fund’s performance, assets held in the Fund and other accounts managed by each of them, business growth, team work, management, corporate citizenship, etc.
A portion of the bonus may be paid in phantom shares of UBS Group AG stock as deferred compensation. Phantom shares are shares representing an unsecured right to receive on a particular date a specified number of registered shares subject to certain terms and conditions. A portion of the bonus will receive the notional return of the fund(s) the portfolio manager manages and a portion of the bonus will receive the notional return of a basket of other Credit Suisse funds along the product line of the portfolio manager.
Like all employees of UBS AM (Americas), portfolio managers participate in UBS Group AG’s profit sharing and 401 (k) plans.
