The purpose of the supplement is to notify you of changes in investment advisors for UBS PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments and UBS PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments. A significant part of the services you receive within the UBS PACE Program is the ongoing review and due diligence by UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") of the UBS PACE investment advisors. As part of this process, the board of trustees of the Trust has engaged new investment advisors to sub-advise all or a portion of the above listed funds' assets. The funds, their prior and new investment advisors and the dates on which each assumed their management responsibilities are listed in the table below.
UBS PACE FUND PRIOR INVESTMENT ADVISOR NEW INVESTMENT ADVISOR - ---------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- UBS PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Metropolitan West Asset Management, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. Investments LLC (July 29, 2002) UBS PACE International Emerging Schroder Investment Management North Baring International Investment Markets Equity Investments America Inc. Limited (August 2, 2002) Gartmore Global Partners (August 2, 2002)
The new investment advisors and related changes to any fees are described in greater detail below. Item #:ZS-157 AS A RESULT OF THESE CHANGES, THE SAI DATED NOVEMBER 5, 2001 IS REVISED AS FOLLOWS: I. THE FUNDS AND THEIR INVESTMENT POLICIES A. UBS PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments - On p. 4, the second sentence of the first paragraph is replaced with the following: BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. ("BlackRock") serves as the fund's investment advisor. B. UBS PACE International Emerging Markets Equity Investments: 1. The last paragraph on p. 8 and the first two paragraphs of page 9 are replaced with the following: UBS PACE INTERNATIONAL EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY INVESTMENTS has an investment objective of capital appreciation. Baring International Investment Limited ("Baring") and Gartmore Global Partners ("GGP") serve as the fund's investment advisors. UBS Global AM allocates the Fund's assets between the two investment advisors. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities that are tied economically to emerging market countries. Such investments may include equity securities issued by companies domiciled in emerging market countries. "Domiciled," for these purposes, means companies (1) that are organized under the laws of an emerging market country, (2) for which the principal securities trading market is in an emerging market country, (3) that derive a significant proportion (at least 50%) of their revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made or services performed in the respective country, or (4) that have at least 50% of their assets situated in such a country. The fund considers "emerging market countries" to be those countries not included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index of major world economies. Baring and/or GGP may at times determine, based on their own analysis, that an economy included in the MSCI World Index should nonetheless be considered an emerging market country, in which case, that country would constitute an emerging market country for purposes of the fund's investments. The fund normally invests in the securities of issuers from three or more emerging market countries. Under normal circumstances, the fund may invest only up to 20% of its net assets in bonds, including U.S. government bonds, foreign government bonds and bonds of private U.S. and foreign issuers, including convertible bonds. The fund's investments may include Brady Bonds. The fund's investments in bonds of private issuers are rated at the time of purchase at least A by S&P or Moody's or, if unrated, determined by the investment advisor to be of comparable quality, except that up to 10% of the fund's total assets may be invested in lower quality bonds, including convertible bonds. These lower quality bonds must, at the time of purchase, be rated at least C by S&P or determined by the investment advisor to be of comparable quality. 2. The third paragraph of page 9 is deleted in its entirety. II. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, ADMINISTRATION AND PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITING ARRANGEMENTS A. UBS PACE Intermediate Fixed Income Investments - On page 55, the first paragraph in the section for this fund is replaced with the following: Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement for this fund with BlackRock, UBS Global AM (not the fund) pays BlackRock a fee in the annual amount of 0.20% of the fund's average daily net assets up to and including $120 million and 0.10% of the fund's average daily net assets above $120 million.
