[1] The fund and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") have entered into a written fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which UBS Global AM is contractually obligated to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the fund's ordinary total operating expenses through March 31, 2015 (excluding dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales, and expenses attributable to investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) would not exceed 0.60%. The fund has agreed to repay UBS Global AM for any waived fees/reimbursed expenses to the extent that it can do so over the following three fiscal years without causing the fund's expenses in any of those three years to exceed this expense cap. 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 advisory contract with UBS Global AM. Upon termination of the agreement, however, UBS Global AM's three year recoupment rights will survive.
Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund's operating expenses remain the same.*


Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Principal strategies


Principal investments


The fund is a money market mutual fund and seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share. To do this, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high quality money market instruments of governmental and private issuers.


Money market instruments generally are short-term debt obligations and similar securities. They also may include longer-term bonds that have variable interest rates or other special features that give them the financial characteristics of short-term debt. The fund invests in foreign money market instruments only if they are denominated in US dollars.


Management process


UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM"), the fund's manager and investment advisor, selects money market instruments for the fund based on its assessment of relative values and changes in market and economic conditions. UBS Global AM considers safety of principal and liquidity in selecting securities for the fund and thus may not buy securities that pay the highest yield.

Principal risks

All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. While the fund seeks to maintain the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, you may lose money by investing in the fund. An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Money market instruments generally have a low risk of loss, but they are not risk-free. The principal risks presented by an investment in the fund are:


Credit risk: Issuers of money market instruments may fail to make payments when due, or they may become less willing or less able to do so.


Interest rate risk: The value of the fund's investments generally will fall when short term interest rates rise, and its yield will tend to lag behind prevailing rates.


Market risk: The risk that the market value of the fund's investments may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as the markets fluctuate, which may affect the fund's ability to maintain a $1.00 share price. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, or sector of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Moreover, changing market, economic and political conditions in one country or geographic region could adversely impact market, economic and political conditions in other countries or regions.


US Government securities risk: There are different types of US government securities with different levels of credit risk, including the risk of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a US government-sponsored entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), although chartered or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the US Treasury and are therefore riskier than those that are.


Foreign investing risk: The value of the fund's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad. Investments in foreign government bonds involve special risks because the fund may have limited legal recourse in the event of default. However, because the fund's foreign investments must be denominated in US dollars, it generally is not subject to the risk of changes in currency valuations.


Liquidity risk: Although the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high quality instruments, the fund's investments may become less liquid as a result of market developments or adverse investor perception.


Management risk: The risk that the investment strategies, techniques and risk analyses employed by the investment advisor may not produce the desired results.
