[UBS GLOBAL ASSET MANAGEMENT LOGO] UBS PACE MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS SEMIANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2003
N-30D2nd Page of 16TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 2nd
UBS PACE Money Market Investments March 14, 2003 Dear Shareholder, We present you with the semiannual report for UBS PACE Money Market Investments for the six months ended January 31, 2003. During the review period ended January 31, 2003, the Portfolio returned 0.61% (before the deduction of the UBS PACE program fee; -0.15% after the deduction of the fee) versus the 90-Day U.S. T-Bill Index and the Lipper Money Market Funds Median, which returned 0.78% and 0.47%, respectively. (Returns over various time periods are shown in the table on page 3. Please note that the returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions. MARKET REVIEW As the reporting period began, economic growth took a step backwards as second quarter gross domestic product (GDP) came in at 1.3%, following a 5.0% increase during the first quarter of 2002. Ongoing threats of terrorism, turmoil in the Middle East, anemic corporate spending and waning consumer confidence all took their toll. Although the news improved somewhat during the third quarter of 2002--with GDP rising 4.0% the fourth quarter number, at 1.4%, showed another slowdown in growth. In November 2002, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") acknowledged that the economy had hit a "soft spot." After holding interest rates steady during the first ten months of 2002, the Fed moved in early November 2002 to lower the federal funds rate one half percentage point to 1.25%, a 41-year low. PERFORMANCE REVIEW During the six-month period, the yields available from money market instruments were extremely low. In terms of investment strategies, the Portfolio continued to utilize a "barbell" strategy, whereby we purchased securities at both ends of the maturity spectrum. The Portfolio's longer-term securities--with maturities up to one year in duration--were used to lock in higher yields as interest rates fell. [SIDENOTE] UBS PACE MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS INVESTMENT ADVISOR: UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. PORTFOLIO MANAGER: Susan P. Ryan OBJECTIVE: Current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity INVESTMENT PROCESS: The Portfolio is a money market mutual fund and seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share, although it may be possible to lose money by investing in this portfolio. The Portfolio invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality money market instruments of governmental and private issuers. Security selection is based on the assessment of relative values and changes in market and economic conditions. 1

At the same time, our shorter-term securities--typically less than a month in duration--provided liquidity. With the combination of an uncertain economy, a proliferation of corporate accounting scandals, and high-profile bankruptcies, the credit markets were extremely volatile during the period. Therefore, we emphasized Treasury and Agency securities that offered the highest credit quality and liquidity. As a result, we were able to avoid the problems that plagued the corporate credit markets. LOOKING AHEAD Looking ahead, we are skeptical concerning the strength of an economic recovery. In December 2002, manufacturing activity increased; however, the holiday shopping season was weak and unemployment was high. In early January 2003, President Bush proposed an economic stimulus package with a wide range of tax cuts. However, it was just that--a proposal. In addition, the geopolitical "cloud" hanging over the economy casts a wide shadow and presents an added challenge to economic recovery. With regard to the Portfolio's investment strategy, credit quality and liquidity will continue to be paramount, and, as a result, we expect to allocate a large portion of the Portfolio to carefully selected Treasuries and Agencies. We also anticipate maintaining the use of a barbell strategy. As always, we appreciate the opportunity to help you achieve your financial goals. If you have any questions about UBS PACE Money Market Investments, please contact your financial advisor. Sincerely, /s/ Brian M. Storms /s/ Bruce A. Bursey Brian M. Storms Bruce A.

UBS PACE MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES UBS PACE Money Market Investments (the "Portfolio") is a diversified portfolio of UBS PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust"), which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware by Certificate of Trust dated September 9, 1994, as amended June 9, 1995, and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The trustees of the Trust have authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share. The Trust currently offers twelve portfolios available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. Shares of the Portfolio currently are available only to participants in the UBS PACE(SM) Select Advisors Program and the UBS PACE(SM) Multi Advisor Program. The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations for each portfolio. Expenses directly attributable to each portfolio are charged to that portfolio's operations; expenses which are applicable to all portfolios are allocated among them on a pro rata basis. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Portfolio's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies: VALUATION AND ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME-- Investments are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums are amortized and discounts are accreted as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Portfolio may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis 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 Portfolio generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than U.S. 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 the counterparty's insolvency. If the seller (or seller's guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the Portfolio may suffer delays, costs and possible losses in connection with the disposition of the 9

collateral. The Portfolio occasionally participates in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM), the investment manager and administrator of the Portfolio. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. CONCENTRATION OF RISK The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Portfolio to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry or region. INVESTMENT MANAGER AND ADMINISTRATOR The Trust has entered into an Investment Management and Administration Contract ("Management Contract") with UBS Global AM. In accordance with the Management Contract, the Portfolio pays UBS Global AM an investment management and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. At January 31, 2003, the Portfolio did not owe UBS Global AM for investment management and administration fees. For the period August 1, 2002 to November 30, 2002, UBS Global AM had contractually undertaken to waive a portion of the Portfolio's investment advisory and administration fees and reimburse a portion of the Portfolio's other expenses to maintain the total annual operating expenses at a level not exceeding 0.50%. Effective December 1, 2002, UBS Global AM has contractually undertaken to waive a portion of the Portfolio's investment advisory and administration fees and reimburse a portion of the Portfolio's other expenses, when necessary, to maintain the total annual operating expenses at a level not exceeding 0.60%. For the six months ended January 31, 2003, UBS Global AM agreed to waive $217,310 of its investment management and administration fees and reimburse the Portfolio $213,648 for certain operating expenses. At January 31, 2003, UBS Global AM owed the Portfolio $9,767 for fee waivers and reimbursements. 10

OTHER LIABILITIES At January 31, 2003, dividends payable, payable for shares of beneficial interest repurchased, payable for investments purchased, and accrued expenses were $45,287, $653,940, $3,999,925, and $149,728, respectively. MONEY MARKET FUND INSURANCE BONDS At January 31, 2003, the Portfolio had insurance bonds that provided limited coverage for certain loss events involving certain money market instruments held by the Portfolio. These loss events include non-payment of principal or interest or a bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer or credit enhancement provider (if any). The insurance bonds provided for coverage up to $200 million for a number of funds with a deductible of 30 basis points (0.30%) of the total assets of the Portfolio for First Tier Securities, determined as of the close of business on the first business day prior to the loss event. In the event of a loss covered under the insurance bonds, the Portfolio would have expected to retain the security in its portfolio, rather than having to sell it at its current market value, until the date of payment of the loss, which would generally be no later than the maturity of the security. While the insurance bonds were intended to provide some protection against credit risk and to help the Portfolio maintain a constant price per share of $1.00, there was no guarantee that the insurance bonds would have done so. For the six months ended January 31, 2003, the Portfolio did not use these insurance bonds. FEDERAL TAX STATUS The Portfolio intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Portfolio intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax. The components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis will be calculated at the Portfolio's fiscal year ending July 31, 2003. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Portfolio for the current fiscal year will be calculated at the Portfolio's fiscal year ending July 31, 2003. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2002 was ordinary income. At July 31, 2002, the Portfolio had a net capital loss carryforward of $220. This loss carryforward is available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net realized capital gains, and will expire by July 31, 2007. To the extent that such losses are used to offset future realized capital gains, it is probable that the realized capital gains so offset will not be distributed. 11
