President’s letter
Dear Shareholder,
The importance of investment discipline to achieving better investment outcomes is well known to individual investors and financial advisors alike. But even the most disciplined investors, faced with breaking news or market-moving events, can sometimes be distracted from their long-term financial plans. The year 2013 and the early part of this year have offered no shortage of distractions. After the broad, steady market recoveries of the last several years, 2013 presented us with the much anticipated “great rotation” out of fixed income into risk assets. Although it didn’t fully play out, this was set in motion by the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Fed”) decision to “taper” its quantitative easing program (“QE”) due to improving prospects for the American economy. Bond investors, some of whom may be risk averse, learned firsthand that it is possible for their fixed income investments to lose value when interest rates rise. Yet, they still seem to accept this tradeoff in exchange for the relative security of their principal, as evidenced by the number of investors with assets still in fixed income investments. In 2013, stocks rallied despite questions over what effects the taper and a change in leadership at the Fed would have on stock prices. While flows into equities improved, many investors didn’t participate in this rally and are now faced with the decision of what to do next.
The financial advisor community and asset managers like UBS Global Asset Management understand the drivers of investor behavior and have collaborated to create solutions that help clients build and maintain diversified, well allocated portfolios. Integrated in these solutions are the core/traditional asset classes that have built and protected wealth for decades. Increasingly, however, wealth managers’ and asset managers’ solutions are including new diversifiers, designed to potentially enhance the likelihood that clients remain committed to their long-term financial plans through the markets’ ups and downs. By offering solutions that help better diversify client portfolios, we aim to soften what can sometimes be a bumpy ride.
At UBS Global Asset Management, we are committed to traditional asset classes but have also enhanced our product offerings. We remain vigilant in adding value through active management in our core investment solutions. But, as I have mentioned in past letters, we were among the early leaders to evolve our product offering to meet the challenges to investment discipline described above. We launched these types of funds before the terms “liquid alternatives,” “absolute return” or “multi-alternative funds” were well known in the investment vernacular. We have invested resources to better enable our investment professionals across equities, fixed income and multi-asset class solutions, to focus on improved investor outcomes. We continue to build strong track records in these areas, so that we can play an integral role in helping financial advisors meet their clients’ needs by staying focused on investors’ real, long-term objectives.
The markets will undoubtedly continue to challenge investors’ fortitude with respect to their commitment to their long-term financial plans. As we begin 2014, new distractions have arisen: concerns over emerging markets and uncertainty about security at the Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, among others. As such, we understand that it is our responsibility to deliver sustained performance in our funds, enabling our clients to experience the outcomes they need. To help us stay focused on these challenges, we rely on our firm’s culture, based on the foundations of client focus, excellence and sustained performance. We embrace this responsibility and these challenges and thank you for your continued trust in our skill and commitment to serve you.
Sincerely,
Mark E. Carver

The markets in review
Improving growth in the developed
world
Despite a number of headwinds,
including the sequestration, higher taxes and rising interest rates, the overall
US economy continued to expand during the reporting period. The Commerce
Department reported that gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth in the US was a
tepid 1.1% during the first quarter of 2013. The economy then gained some
traction, as GDP grew 2.5% and 4.1% during the second and third quarters of
2013, respectively. Third quarter GDP was the highest reading since the fourth
quarter of 2011. The Commerce Department’s initial estimate for fourth quarter
2013 GDP growth was 3.2%.1
The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) took a number of actions during the reporting period to stimulate the economy. As has been the case since December 2008, the Fed kept the federal funds rate (the federal funds rate, or the “fed funds rate,” which is the rate banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis) at a historically low level between 0% and 0.25%. However, at his press conference following the central bank’s meeting in June 2013, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled that the Fed might moderate the monthly pace of its bond purchases later in the year. This triggered a substantial sell-off in the fixed income market, as Treasury yields rose sharply and bond prices declined. At its meeting that concluded on September 18, 2013, the Fed surprised the market by delaying the tapering of its asset purchases.
At its final meeting of 2013, in December, the Fed announced that it would begin paring back its monthly asset purchases, saying, “Beginning in January, the Committee will add to its holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities at a [reduced] pace of $35 billion per month rather than $40 billion per month, and will add to its holdings of longer-term Treasury securities at a [reduced] pace of $40 billion per month rather than $45 billion per month.”
At its meeting that concluded on January 29, 2014, the Fed said it would further taper its asset purchases. Beginning in February 2014, the central bank will scale back its monthly purchases to a total of $65 billion ($30 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities and $35 billion of longer-term Treasury securities).2
Growth in other developed countries generally improved during the reporting period, albeit from relatively low levels. In its October 2013 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) stated that “Advanced economies are gradually strengthening. At the same time, growth in emerging market economies has slowed.” From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipated that 2013 growth in the eurozone would contract by 0.4% but increase to 1.0% in 2014. While growth in emerging market countries remains higher than in developed countries, the IMF projects that this gap is narrowing. The IMF projected that emerging market growth would moderate from 4.9%, in 2012 to 4.5% in 2013. In particular, China’s economy was expected to grow 7.6% in 2013, versus 7.7% in 2012.

The markets in review
Equities largely produce strong
returns
Developed market equities
produced outstanding results during the reporting period. In the US, generally
positive economic data and corporate profits that often exceeded expectations
supported the market. Volatility was elevated at times, due to moderating
emerging market growth, geopolitical events and uncertainty regarding future
central bank monetary policy. However, periodic setbacks were generally quickly
replaced by solid demand from investors looking to generate incremental returns
in the low interest rate environment. All told, the US stock market, as measured
by the S&P 500 Index,3 gained 32.39% for the 12 months ended
December 31, 2013, its best return since 1997. International developed equities,
as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),4 also rose sharply, gaining
22.78% during the reporting period. However, emerging market equities, as
measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),5 generated weak
results, declining 2.60% over the same time period. This was due to several
factors, including decelerating emerging market growth, generally falling
commodity prices and sharply rising US interest rates.
Generally weak results for the
fixed income market
The fortunes of
the fixed income market were often tied to expectations regarding future Fed
monetary policy. With the US economy gaining momentum and the Fed signaling a
tapering of its asset purchases, US Treasury yields moved higher and negatively
impacted the overall bond market (yields and bond prices move in opposite
directions). Against this backdrop, the overall US bond market, as measured by
the Barclays US Aggregate Index,6 declined 2.02%. Most US taxable
spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) generated negative
absolute returns during the 12 months ended December 31, 2013. One notable
exception was high yield bonds, as they generated strong results. Supporting the
high yield market were continued solid corporate fundamentals, low defaults and
overall solid demand. All told, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay
Constrained Index7 rose 7.37% during the reporting period. In
contrast, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets
Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),8 declined 6.58%. This poor
performance was triggered by decelerating emerging market growth, the spike in
US interest rates and weak demand.

UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund
Portfolio
performance
For the 12 months ended
December 31, 2013, UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned
11.96%, while the Fund’s benchmarks, the Citigroup World Government Bond Index
and the MSCI World Free Index (net), declined 4.00% and returned 26.68%,
respectively. In addition, our proprietary Global Securities Relationship Fund
Index (the “Index”) returned 13.25%. (Please note that these returns do not
reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of
Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and
expenses.)
The Fund generated a positive absolute return during the reporting period but underperformed the Index, primarily due to market allocation strategy.
During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our active currency strategy, utilizing currency forwards had a direct positive impact on Fund performance. Various equity and fixed income options and futures were used to implement our market allocation strategy. These derivatives, in aggregate, contributed to performance during the period.
Portfolio performance
summary1
What worked
– | The Fund maintained an underweight to fixed income during the reporting period. This was beneficial to performance, as the overall fixed income market performed poorly given the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Fed”) indications that it would begin tapering its asset purchase program. | |
– |
The Fund tactically managed its duration and was generally short versus the Index. This aided results, as interest rates moved higher during the reporting period. |
– | An overweight to global equities was positive for performance as it was the best performing asset class during the year. | |
– |
US large-cap core/value, US large-cap growth and emerging market growth security selection was additive for results. |
– | Our long position in the US dollar versus the Australian and Canadian dollars aided the Fund’s results. | |
– |
A long position in the Mexican peso versus the Canadian dollar, as well as our positioning in the euro, were beneficial for the Fund’s performance. |

UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund
What didn’t work
– | Our allocation to investment grade corporate bonds, especially during the first half of the reporting period, detracted from performance. | |
– |
While the Fund’s exposure to high yield corporate bonds was additive for absolute results, those bonds lagged the Index on a relative basis. | |
– |
The security selection of individual fixed income securities was a modest drag on results. |
– | Our preference for international developed equities, largely in Europe, over US equities was not rewarded, as the former lagged their US counterparts. | |
– |
An overweight to emerging market equities was not rewarded. They generated weak results as growth decelerated in many developing countries, commodity prices generally declined and investor demand was often poor. |
– | A long position in the US dollar versus a short in the New Zealand dollar detracted from results. | |
– |
A short position in the Swiss franc versus the Japanese yen and euro were drags on the Fund’s performance. |
– | We tactically adjusted the Fund’s allocation to equities during the year. When the reporting period began, we had an overweight to equities versus a 65% allocation for the Index. In early January 2013, we increased the Fund’s equity allocation to 72% and then pared it to 68% at the end of the month. During the second quarter of 2013, we further increased our equity overweight. However, we reduced this exposure and moved to a slight underweight position in June, as the market weakened given the Fed’s plans to taper its asset purchases. After increasing the Fund’s exposure to equities in the third quarter, we pared our equity allocation prior to the Fed’s meeting in December. We ended the reporting period with a 66% allocation to equities. | |
– |
We also adjusted the Fund’s global fixed income exposure, starting the 12-month period with a 31% allocation. The fixed income market was volatile in June in the wake of the Fed’s comments about tapering its asset purchase program. Against this backdrop, we moved from an overweight to a zero position in investment grade corporate bonds and modestly pared our high yield bond exposure. As the year progressed, we added back to our high yield bond allocation. The Fund ended the reporting period with roughly a 34% allocation to global fixed income. |

1 | Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at December 31, 2013. | |

Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At December 31, 2013, the value of these securities amounted to $6,553,384 or 2.65% of net assets. | |

These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers.

6 | Debt security whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the securities is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in an index. Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the securities are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the securities’ principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the securities generally pay lower interest rates than typical government securities from the issuer’s country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity. | |

Portfolio
performance
For the 12 months ended
December 31, 2013, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund (the “Fund”)
declined 8.97%, (declined 10.33% after the deduction of transaction charges),
while the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) (the “Index”),
fell 2.60%. (Please note that the Fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction
of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares, while
the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)
The Fund generated a negative return along with the overall emerging equity market, and underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period. This underperformance was largely due to stock selection.
Portfolio performance
summary1
What worked
– | Naspers is a South Africa-based consumer discretionary company. Its share price sharply rallied and enhanced the Fund’s results. (For additional details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”) |
– | Hengan is a Chinese consumer staples company that produces female personal hygiene products, disposable baby diapers and other personal hygiene products. The company continued to execute well on new product introductions, and it benefited from declining raw material prices. |
– | Shares of Indian information technology company Infosys moved sharply higher and contributed to the Fund’s results. (For additional details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”) |
– | Mobile Telesystems is the largest mobile operator in Russia. It benefited from strong growth in its mobile data business, which has resulted in margin expansion and healthy dividend growth. |
– | Sun Pharmaceutical is a healthcare company headquartered in India. Its shares rallied due to a series of better than expected results and expectations that sales growth would remain robust. Similarly, its US subsidiary Taro continued to generate strong results. Sun Pharmaceutical also benefited from the weakening rupee. |

UBS International Equity Relationship Fund
Portfolio
performance
For the 12 months ended
December 31, 2013, UBS International Equity Relationship Fund (the “Fund”)
returned 19.18%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex USA Index
(net) (the “Index”), returned 21.02%. (Please note that the Fund’s returns do
not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the
redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction
of fees and expenses.)
The Fund posted a strong absolute return during the reporting period but underperformed its benchmark due to sector allocation and stock selection.
Portfolio performance
summary1
What
worked
– | KDDI Corp. is the largest telecommunications company in Japan. KDDI’s shares sharply rallied and the stock was the Fund’s top contributor to performance during the 12 months. (For additional details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”) | |
– | Sampo Oyj. is a Finnish financial company. In addition to its insurance business, the company owns more than 20% of Nordea, the largest bank in the Nordic region. Investors appeared to recognize the value of Nordea in Sampo’s overall business, and both companies were supported by signs of a turnaround in the European economy. | |
– | Carrefour is the largest retailer in France and the second largest chain store retailer in the world. Its shares sharply rallied during the reporting period. (For additional details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”) | |
– | ORIX Corp., is a Japan-based provider of diversified financial services, including banking, leasing, securities brokerage, venture capital and consumer finance. The company performed well during the reporting period, as there were indications that the Bank of Japan’s efforts to reflate its economy were gaining some traction. ORIX also experienced improving demand for its real estate and leasing businesses. |
What didn’t work
– | Jardine Matheson Holdings is a conglomerate with the majority of its business interests in Asia. Its subsidiaries include Jardine Pacific, Jardine Motors, Jardine Lloyd Thompson and Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. Its shares poorly performed as economic growth in China decelerated, and its consumer products, real estate and automobile businesses suffered as a result. | |
– | Orica is an Australian mining services company. Its shares declined and, as such, we eliminated the position during the reporting period. (For additional details, see “Portfolio Highlights.”) | |
– | Shares of Lightstream Resources, a light oil-focused exploration and production company based in Canada, declined during the reporting period, as it experienced disappointing drilling results. |
1 For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see pages 3-4.
24
UBS International Equity Relationship Fund
– | Teck Resources is Canada’s largest diversified mining company. It did not perform well, as commodity prices in general declined, partly given concerns regarding moderating growth in China. | |
– | Overall, sector allocation detracted from results. An underweight in the consumer discretionary sector and an overweight in the materials sector were the largest negatives for the Fund’s relative performance during the reporting period. |

Portfolio
performance
For the 12 months ended
December 31, 2013, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned
35.54%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the “Index”),
returned 33.11%. (Please note that the Fund’s returns do not reflect the
deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund
shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and
expenses.)
The Fund outperformed the Index due to successful stock selection decisions.
Portfolio performance
summary1
What worked
– | Micron Technology was the largest positive contributor for the year. Shares rose as the company posted solid financial results during the reporting period. Micron, a leading manufacturer of semiconductor memories, is completing its acquisition of Elpida. At the same time, the industry has seen significant consolidation, resulting in increased pricing power. The stock price reached a new 52-week high in November 2013 after investor David Einhorn disclosed that he owned a 2% stake in the company. (For details, see “Portfolio highlights.”) |
– | Hertz Global Holdings was a top contributor to Fund returns for the 12 months. In November, Hertz reported strong third quarter results, including record revenues and earnings per share, up 16% year over year. At the end of December, Hertz announced a one-year shareholder rights plan after observing “unusual and substantial activity” in its stock and speculation that one or more activists have been building a position. As a result, the stock was up an additional 10% in the last two days of the year. (For details, see “Portfolio highlights.”) |
– | Spirit Airlines was a successful holding for the Fund during the reporting period. The airline posted strong results based on passenger growth and increased pricing power. During the year, the company announced plans to purchase additional aircraft and increase the number of routes it services. We believe that Spirit has considerable future growth capacity and is already taking market share from other carriers. (For details, see “Portfolio highlights.”) |
– | Shares of Ligand Pharmaceuticals performed strongly in 2013 based on positive pretrial data for its type 1 diabetes treatment, and the potentially lucrative licensing of a multiple myeloma treatment. We sold out of our position in Ligand during the reporting period, as it reached our estimate of fair value. |
– | Salix Pharmaceuticals was a top contributor to Fund performance, as its shares rose more than 34% during the fourth quarter of 2013. The company completed its cash tender offer for Santarus during December. The acquisition was an important milestone for the growth of the company’s core business and creates an opportunity for Salix to expand its digestive disease expertise into other key specialties. |
– | The stock price of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals was up more than 106% during the third quarter of 2013. The company reported positive data in its effort to treat TTR-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR), a major unmet medical need with significant morbidity and mortality. Analysts believe that there is a high probability of Alnylam’s treatment becoming a marketed product in 2014. |

32
UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund
What didn’t
work
– | NII Holdings was the top detractor for the reporting period. The stock was down due to disappointing earnings results for the third quarter of 2013 and a net subscriber loss. The company’s consolidated operating revenue failed to meet investor expectations. In addition, although NII met all of its network building goals, it failed to address challenges in Mexico and Brazil. We believe that there are signs of improvement in these markets, and we continue to watch developments closely. We also believe that there is significant asset value in the company’s network, which should provide protection against further downside. |
– | Digital Realty, a real estate investment trust, detracted from Fund performance during the reporting period. While fundamental concerns about the wholesale data center industry continue to linger, we see encouraging long-term prospects for the business. We believe that Digital Realty will benefit from improved occupancy levels at higher rents. The REIT’s 6% dividend yield offers additional support for the stock price. |
– | J. C. Penney detracted from the Fund’s returns after reporting earnings and revenue that were below expectations. Activist investor Bill Ackman publicly criticized the company’s strategy and subsequently resigned from his seat on its board. The company attempted to raise cash by selling roughly $800 million of new stock before the critical holiday shopping season, eroding investor confidence. While the mid-tier department store faces some challenges, we believe that the current valuation does not reflect J.C. Penney’s future cash generation potential. |
– | Shares of Philip Morris International, Inc. declined as the consumer staples sector underperformed. Investor sentiment about the decline in the number of smokers worsened, leading to poor performance for the company’s stock price. However, we believe that Philip Morris is attractively valued. (For details, see “Portfolio highlights.”) |
– | Although shares of Apple were up roughly 8% for the year, it detracted from Fund returns, based on the size of the Fund’s position in the stock and the timing of our purchases. The stock had a setback earlier in 2013, as a result of competition from Samsung, which we viewed as overdone. We took advantage of the weaker prices and added to the Fund’s position. |

UBS Global Corporate Bond Relationship Fund
Portfolio
performance
For the 12 months ended
December 31, 2013, UBS Global Corporate Bond Relationship Fund (the “Fund”)
declined 0.66%. For comparison purposes, the Barclays Global
Aggregate-Corporate Index (hedged in USD) (the “Index”) returned 0.07%. (Please
note that the Fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a
shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns
do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)
The Fund’s underperformance versus the Index was largely due to the trading costs associated with managing inflows and outflows.
The Fund used derivatives during the reporting period. Certain interest rate derivatives were utilized to manage the Fund’s duration and yield curve exposure, while credit default swaps were used to implement specific credit-related investment strategies. Foreign exchange forwards were utilized to manage the Fund’s currency exposures—specifically to hedge its non-US dollar exposure. While derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, they are just one of the tools we use to manage the Fund’s overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. That said, overall, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning detracted from performance, whereas security selection and sector allocation modestly contributed to the Fund’s performance.
Portfolio performance
summary1
What worked
What didn’t work
– |
The cost associated with managing the Fund’s outflows and inflows was the largest detractor from performance. | |
– |
The Fund experienced significant outflows in June. This took place during a very challenging fixed income market, as the Federal Reserve Board (the ”Fed”) indicated that it may begin tapering its monthly asset purchase program sooner than expected. This caused credit spreads to widen and the Fund experienced elevated shareholder redemptions. Against this backdrop, the Fund experienced increased trading costs as the Fund sold bonds to facilitate redemptions. | |
– |
The Fund also received sizable inflows in September when credit spreads narrowed after the Fed surprised the market by delaying the taper at its meeting in September. The Fund’s trading costs, again, increased as we invested the inflows. The Fund also missed part of the rally as we allocated the cash. | |
– |
Duration and yield curve positioning detracted from performance. Our duration and yield curve strategies were drags on performance, during the reporting period largely due to our positioning in the US and Europe. |

The credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity. Credit spreads are unaudited. |

UBS High Yield Relationship Fund
Portfolio
performance
For the 12 months ended
December 31, 2013, UBS High Yield Relationship Fund (the “Fund”) returned 6.78%.
The Fund’s benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained
Index (the “Index”), returned 7.37% during the same time period. (Please note
that the Fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder
would pay on the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not
reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)
Although the Fund generated a positive return during the reporting period, it modestly lagged the Index. While security selection contributed to performance, this was offset by our positioning from a quality perspective, as well as trading costs.
The Fund utilized total return swaps on a high yield index to more quickly and cost-effectively adjust its exposure to the high yield bond market. While derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, they are just one of the tools we utilize to manage the Fund’s overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategy.

UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund
Portfolio
performance
For the 12 months ended
December 31, 2013, UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund
(the “Fund”) declined 4.88%. For comparison purposes, the J.P. Morgan Emerging
Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) declined 6.58%, and the Emerging Markets
Debt Benchmark Index (the “Index”) declined 7.76%. (Please note that the Fund’s
returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on
the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the
deduction of fees and expenses.)
The Fund is managed to provide opportunistic emerging markets debt exposure to broader portfolios. Therefore, it is not managed relative to a benchmark. The emerging markets debt asset class generated weak results during the reporting period. This was triggered by a number of factors, including decelerating growth in many developing countries, generally falling commodity prices and sharply rising US interest rates, resulting in periods of heightened volatility and weak investor demand. Against this backdrop, the Fund generated a negative return, although its decline was not as severe as the EMBI Global or the Index.
The Fund used derivatives during the reporting period. Certain foreign exchange instruments, including currency forwards, swaps and options, were utilized to manage the Fund’s currency exposure. Overall, the Fund’s currency allocations detracted from its absolute performance. The Fund also utilized interest rate derivatives, including US Treasury futures and interest rate swaps, to adjust its duration and yield curve positioning. In aggregate, the Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning limited the losses associated with higher rates, but we were not able to completely neutralize the negative effects. Credit default swaps, total return swaps and credit-linked notes were used to express our views regarding specific country exposures, as well as for hedging purposes. Overall, country allocation detracted as emerging markets broadly underperformed. Although derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, they are just one of the tools we utilize to manage the Fund’s overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies
Portfolio performance
summary1
What worked
– | In particular, our limited exposure to US dollar-denominated and local currency-denominated Indonesian debt was beneficial for results, as they performed poorly given the country's rising current account deficit. | |
– | Minimal exposure to US dollar-denominated and local currency-denominated Turkish debt was positive for the Fund's performance, as they were dragged down by the country's mounting current account deficit, as well as political unrest toward the end of the reporting period. |

Portfolio
performance
For the 12 months ended
December 31, 2013, UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship
Fund (the “Fund”) declined 8.58%. For comparison purposes, the Barclays US
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index (the “Index”) declined 8.61%
during the same time period. (Please note that the Fund’s returns do not reflect
the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund
shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and
expenses.)
Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) performed poorly during the reporting period, as interest rates moved sharply higher and inflation was generally well contained.
The Fund used certain interest rate derivative instruments to adjust its duration and yield curve positioning during the reporting period. While derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, they are just one of the tools we utilized to manage the Fund’s overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. That said, duration positioning, overall, contributed to performance during the reporting period.
Portfolio performance
summary1
What worked
– | We have held the view that US interest rate markets had largely discounted much of the potentially negative economic and policy news and that, at the margin, because of narrowing risks in global markets, demand for safe haven assets would subside. | |
– | The Fund’s duration was tactically adjusted throughout the reporting period, with a bias to being short duration versus the Index. |
What didn’t work
1 For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see pages 3-4.

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

Explanation of expense
disclosure
As a shareholder of the Funds,
you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable); and (2)
ongoing costs, including management fees (if applicable) and other Fund
expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in
dollars) of investing in the 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, July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.
Actual expenses
The first line in the table below for each 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 Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and
hypothetical expenses based on that Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed
rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not that Fund’s actual
return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate
the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may
use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and
other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5%
hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other
funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs (as applicable). Therefore, the second line in the table for each Fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.

1. Organization and
significant accounting policies
UBS
Relationship Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end, management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act“), as
amended. The Trust currently offers shares of multiple series representing
separate portfolios of investments. The nine series covered by this report are:
UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity
Relationship Fund, UBS International Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Equity
Alpha Relationship Fund, UBS Global Corporate Bond Relationship Fund, UBS High
Yield Relationship Fund, UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship
Fund, UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund, and UBS U.S. Treasury
Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund (each a “Fund,” and
collectively, the “Funds”). Each series covered by this report is diversified
except for UBS Global Corporate Bond Relationship Fund and UBS Opportunistic
Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund, which are non-diversified. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds
in the preparation of their financial statements.
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 Trust issues shares of beneficial interest only in private placement transactions that do not involve a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). Only “accredited investors”, as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, may invest in the Funds. Accredited investors include common or commingled trust funds, investment companies, registered broker dealers, investment banks, commercial banks, corporations, group trusts, certain high net worth individuals and similar organizations.
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.
UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share; the Fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies in an attempt to enable it to do so. As with any money market fund, there is no assurance, however, that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
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 US Securities and Exchange Commission (“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:
A. Valuation of investments: Each Fund calculates its net asset value on days that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open. Each Fund, with the exception of UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund and UBS International Equity Relationship Fund, calculates its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, a Fund’s net asset value per share will be calculated as of the time trading was halted. UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund calculates its net asset value per share as of two hours prior to the close of the NYSE, which generally is 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time), on each day the NYSE is open for trading. UBS International Equity Relationship Fund calculates its net asset value per share as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on weekdays when the Fund is open for business.

Funds
Notes to financial statements
Each Fund calculates its net
asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its
portfolio securities. The Funds normally obtain market values for their
investments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent
pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing
prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “evaluation”
systems that derive values based on comparable investments. An evaluation system
incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/ or
research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market
price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio
investments. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from
information concerning the investment or similar investments received from
recognized dealers in those holdings. Investments traded in the over-the-counter
(“OTC”) market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally
are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued
at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation.
Investments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are
valued at the market closing price, the last sale price on the day the
securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available
bid price. 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
Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc, (“UBS Global AM” or the “Advisor”), the
investment advisor of the Funds. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset
management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization
with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas
of the financial services industry. If a market value is not readily available
from an independent pricing source for a particular investment, that investment
is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of
the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). 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. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally
determined as of the close of the NYSE.
Certain investments in which the Funds invest are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, will not be reflected in the Funds’ net asset value. However, if any of the Funds determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Funds’ investments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what is believed to be the fair value of these securities as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.
Certain Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value investments principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. The systematic fair valuation model may use calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. If a security is valued at “fair value,” that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the investment. The use of the fair valuation model may result in securities being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair valuation hierarchy at the end of the reporting period. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, are disclosed near the end of each Funds’ Portfolio of investments.
The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments of the UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund are valued using the amortized cost method of valuation. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Pursuant to the Funds’ use of practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies are also valued at the daily net asset value. All investments quoted in foreign currencies are valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Funds’ custodian.
104
UBS Relationship Funds
Notes to financial statements
Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.
The Board has delegated to the UBS Global AM Global Valuation Committee (“GVC”) the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Funds’ portfolio holdings. The GVC is comprised of representatives of management, including members of the investment team.
The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any investments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the GVC 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, as discussed below, 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 the Funds’ 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 risk.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
A fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of investments.

Notes to financial
statements
The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC Topic 815”) require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a Fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, swaptions and options written entered into by a Fund may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of December 31, 2013 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 2013, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. The Funds may be sellers of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements). The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund’s Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2013, except for forward foreign currency contracts for which average volumes during the year were greater than at year end for UBS International Equity Relationship Fund, UBS Global Corporate Bond Relationship Fund and UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund. Additionally, for UBS Global Corporate Bond Relationship Fund the average volumes for swap contracts during the year were greater than at year end, and for UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund the average volumes for options contracts during the year were greater than at year end.
Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk for each Fund as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Offsetting of Financial and
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
In January 2013, Accounting Standards
Update 2013-01 (“ASU 2013-01”), “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11
(“ASU 2011-11”), “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU
2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and
interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance
disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities.
ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to
derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities
lending and borrowing transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the
financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement
or similar agreement.
The Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar master agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination.
Included within the below tables are forward foreign currency contracts, foreign exchange options, non-centrally cleared swap agreements and swaptions, as applicable.

B. Restricted
securities: The Funds 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 each Fund’s Portfolio of
investments footnotes.
C. 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 respective 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.
D. Foreign currency translation: The Funds use the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non-US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities – at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of a Fund’s fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses – at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets and the market value of a Fund’s portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of a Fund’s fiscal period, a Fund does not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.
E. Forward foreign currency contracts: A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the US dollar and the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contracts. Certain Funds may purchase or sell currencies and/or engage in forward foreign currency transactions in order to expedite settlement of portfolio transactions, manage currency risk or to gain exposure to a currency without purchasing securities denominated in that currency. A Fund may also use forward contracts with the intent of changing the relative exposure of the Fund’s portfolio of securities to different currencies to take advantage of anticipated changes in exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (specifically foreign currency risk).
113
UBS Relationship
Funds
Notes to
financial statements
A Fund will enter into forward
contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of US dollars or other appropriate
currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the
short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of the securities
denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when a Fund enters into a
non-cash settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the
Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian will place assets in a segregated account of
the Fund in an amount equal to the contract’s full notional value. However,
currency contracts with respect to identical currencies may be netted against
each other and, in such cases, a Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian will place
assets in a segregated account of the Fund, in an amount equal to the net amount
owed (the unrealized loss) by the Fund. If the assets placed in the account
decline in value, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on
a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the
Funds’ commitments with respect to such contracts.
The unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to each Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. Fluctuations in the value of the open forward foreign currency contracts are recorded daily for book purposes as net unrealized gains or losses on foreign forward currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have been sold or matured.
F. Futures contracts: Each Fund, other than UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund, may purchase or sell financial futures contracts. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to manage the average duration of the Funds, or either as a hedge or to enhance income or realized gain. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that a Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.
G. Securities traded on to-be-announced basis: Certain Funds may from time to time purchase, or sell short, mortgage-backed securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying securities. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations are segregated in the Funds’ records in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities. At December 31, 2013, the Funds did not hold any TBA securities.
H. Swap agreements: Certain Funds may engage in swap agreements, including but not limited to interest rate, currency, total return, credit default and equity swap agreements. A Fund expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or to hedge a portion of the portfolio’s duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible or in an attempt to enhance income or gains.
Certain Funds may enter into currency swap agreements with another party in order to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates to protect itself from or take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations. The Fund utilizes currency swaps to earn income and enhance returns as well as to manage the risk profile of the
114

Funds
Notes to

Fund. This type of swap is an
agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at
specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified
currency exchange rate(s) for a specified amount. Currency swap agreements are
subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, foreign
exchange risk and interest rate risk.
Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect themselves from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.
Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Total return swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and the risk that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will retain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swap agreements may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a list of a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of referenced credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swap agreements with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap agreement references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. A Fund may use credit default swap agreements on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swap agreements or bonds with a credit default swap agreement on indices which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swap agreements to achieve a similar effect. Credit default swap agreements on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality.
115

Funds
Notes to
financial statements
Credit default swap agreements on
corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one
party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to
receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a
credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other
obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The
ability to deliver other obligations may result in delivery of a security with a
value other than had been anticipated (such as a party’s right to choose the
deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). The Fund
may use credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues
of an emerging market country to provide a measure of protection against
defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the Fund owns or has
exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short
position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s
default.
The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement which may exceed the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation reflected on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2013 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section “Credit default swaps on corporate issues—sell protection” in the Notes to portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.
The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, a Fund’s risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.
The Funds accrue for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements.
I. Structured notes: Certain Funds may invest in structured notes whose values are based on the price movements of a referenced security or index. The value of these structured notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the referenced security or index. On the maturity date of each structured note, a Fund will receive a payment from a counterparty based on the value of the referenced security or index (notional amount multiplied by the price of the referenced security or index) and record a realized gain or loss.
Structured notes may present a greater degree of market risk than many types of securities and may be more volatile and less liquid than less complex securities. Structured notes are also subject to the risk that the issuer of the structured notes may fail to perform its contractual obligations.
J. Option writing: Certain Funds may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities indices, foreign currency swaps and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund’s Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market
116
UBS Relationship
Funds
Notes to
financial statements
to reflect the current market value of
the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on
its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the cost of a closing
purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written)
without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or
derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished.
If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a
realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period
of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or
derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the
premium originally received. If a put option which the Fund has written is
exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the
security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the
option.
In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, index or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.
K. Purchased options: Certain Funds may purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities and indices, foreign currency swaps and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), as well as exchange-listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific security, industry or geographic region. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying futures, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.
L. Short sales: UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund (“Equity Alpha”) enters into short sales whereby it sells a security it generally does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the security’s price. The initial amount of a short sale is recorded as a liability which is marked-to-market daily. Fluctuations in the value of this liability are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of operations. If Equity Alpha shorts a security when also holding a long position in the security (a “short against the box”), as the security price declines, the short position increases in value, offsetting the long position’s decrease in value. The opposite effect occurs if the security price rises. Equity Alpha will realize a gain or loss upon closing of the short sale (returning the security to the lender by way of purchase or delivery of a long position owned). Equity Alpha is liable to the lender for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends are booked as an expense or liability of the Fund. Equity Alpha designates collateral consisting of cash, US government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of short positions. The Fund is charged a securities loan fee equal to 0.65% per annum of short market value in connection with short sale transactions.
M. Repurchase agreements: Each Fund may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. Each 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 Funds and their counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the 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 and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. If the seller (or seller’s guarantor, if any) becomes
117
UBS Relationship
Funds
Notes to
financial statements
insolvent, a 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.
Under certain circumstances, a 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 assessed a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.
N. Distributions: With the exception of UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund, none of the Funds currently intend to declare and pay distributions. For UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund, distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of net capital gains, if any, are distributed to shareholders annually or more frequently to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.
O. Concentration of risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which some Funds in the Trust invest. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by a Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.
Small capitalization (“small cap”) companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization (“large cap”) companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of large cap companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in large cap companies. In addition, small cap companies may not be well-known to the investing public, may not have institutional ownership and may have only cyclical, static or moderated growth prospects.
Investments in bonds with ratings of BB (Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group) or Ba (Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.) or below (commonly referred to as “high yield” bonds), or deemed of equivalent quality, have an increased risk of defaulting or otherwise being unable to honor a financial obligation. These securities are considered to be predominately speculative with respect to an issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations. Lower-quality bonds are more likely to be subject to an issuer’s default or downgrade than investment grade (higher-quality) bonds.
P. Commission recapture program: The following Funds participate in a brokerage commission recapture program: UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund, UBS International Equity Relationship Fund and UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund. These Funds have established commission recapture arrangements with certain participating brokers or dealers. If a Fund’s investment manager chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker subject to best price and execution, the broker will rebate a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the following Funds recorded recaptured commissions which are reflected on the Statement of operations within the net realized gains (losses) on investments in unaffiliated issuers.
Fund | Amount | |

Q. Transaction
charges: Investors in UBS Emerging Markets
Equity Relationship Fund are subject to a transaction charge equal to 0.75% of
the Fund’s offering price on Fund share purchases. Therefore, the shares of this
Fund are sold at a price which is equal to the net asset value of such shares,
plus a transaction charge. The transaction charge is retained by the Fund and is
intended to defray transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of
securities within the Fund. Investors in UBS Emerging Markets Equity
Relationship Fund are also subject to a transaction charge equal to 0.75% of the
Fund’s net asset value on Fund share redemptions. Transaction charges received
by UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund were $569,463 and $2,659,596
for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012,
respectively.
2. Investment advisory and
administration fees and other transactions with affiliates
UBS Global AM, a registered investment advisor, manages the
assets of the Trust pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust
(the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor does not receive any compensation under
the Advisory Agreement for providing investment advisory services. The Advisor
has agreed to reimburse the Funds to the extent that total annualized operating
expenses exceed the following percentage of average daily net assets and can
discontinue these expense limitations at any time:
Fund | Percent | |

UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund | 0.1000 |
* The expense limitation increased from 0.0400% to 0.0700% as of April 30, 2013.
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund to the extent that the Fund’s total annualized operating expenses (excluding interest expense, dividend expense and securities loan fees for securities sold short and expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies), to the extent necessary so that the Fund’s total annualized operating expenses (excluding interest expense, dividend expense and securities loan fees for securities sold short and expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies), otherwise do not exceed the following percentage of average daily net assets.
Fund | Percent |
UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund | 0.1200% |

Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. UBS Global AM acts as managing member of Private Money Market and receives a management fee from Private Money Market payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.10% of Private Money Market’s average daily members’ equity, minus the aggregate operating expenses of, and incurred by, Private Money Market during each such related month, not including investment expenses (including brokerage commissions, taxes, interest charges and other costs with respect to transactions in securities) and extraordinary expenses including litigation expenses, if any. UBS Global AM may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are included in securities lending income in the Statement of operations.

3. Securities lending
Each Fund
may lend portfolio securities up to 33¹/³% of its total
assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are
secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents, or US government securities in
an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned
with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the
securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, plus accrued interest and
dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly.
120
UBS Relationship
Funds
Notes to
financial statements
Each Fund will 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, cash
equivalents, or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates
paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees.

5. Federal income
taxes
The Trust has received rulings from
the Internal Revenue Service that each Fund will be treated as a separate
partnership for federal income tax purposes. Income taxes are not provided for
by the Funds because taxable income/(loss) of each Fund is included in the
income tax returns of the investors. For tax purposes, each component of the
Funds’ net assets is reported at the investor level; therefore, the Statement of
assets and liabilities do not present the components of net assets.
As of and during the year ended December 31, 2013, no Funds other than UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund and UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund had liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund and UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund had accrued liabilities for uncertain tax positions of $24,993 and $29,090, respectively, at December 31, 2013 which is included in the Payable for accrued foreign capital gains taxes in the Statement of assets and liabilities. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of
121
UBS Relationship
Funds
Notes to
financial statements
operations. During the year, the Funds
did not incur any interest or penalties. Capital gains realized by the Funds on
securities issued in or by certain foreign countries may be subject to capital
gains tax imposed by those countries.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended December 31, 2013, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
6. Partnership
allocations
For federal income tax
purposes, an investor’s distributive share of each item of a Fund’s income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined by the Amended and Restated
Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) so long as the
allocation has “substantial economic effect” within the meaning of the Internal
Revenue Code (the “Code”) Section 704 and the regulations thereunder. The Trust
has received rulings from the Internal Revenue Service that its allocation
method has substantial economic effect.

Report of
independent registered public accounting firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of UBS Relationship Funds
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Relationship Funds (comprising, respectively, UBS Global Securities Relationship Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Equity Relationship Fund, UBS International Equity Relationship Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund, UBS Global Corporate Bond Relationship Fund, UBS High Yield Relationship Fund, UBS Opportunistic Emerging Markets Debt Relationship Fund, UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund and UBS U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Relationship Fund) (collectively, the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statement of cash flows for UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Relationship Fund for the year ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Funds constituting UBS Relationship Funds at December 31, 2013, the results of their operations and cash flows for the year ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
