UBS Select Treasury Funds

UBS AM previously announced changes to its UBS Select Treasury Funds in June 2015, affirming that the funds intend to qualify as 'government money market funds' under the SEC's amended rules. The funds will continue to invest in US Treasury securities and related repurchase agreements.

Under the SEC's amended rules, these Treasury funds may maintain a CNAV per share of $1.00 and will not be subject to fees and/or gates unless their board determines to provide advance notice to shareholders of a change in this policy. The funds will continue to be available as investment options to both natural persons and non-natural persons.

UBS Select Government Funds - New Family of Funds in Development*

UBS AM is planning to launch new UBS Select Government Funds in 2016 to expand its liquidity management platform and to complement the existing UBS Select Treasury Funds. The funds will be available to both natural persons and non-natural persons. Under the SEC's amended rules, these government money funds may maintain a CNAV per share of $1.00 and will not be subject to fees and/or gates unless their board determines to provide advance notice to shareholders of a change in this policy. The funds will seek to invest 99.5% or more of their net assets in cash, government securities (e.g., US Treasury and agency securities) and/or repurchase agreements collateralized solely by cash or government securities.

  • UBS Select Tax-Free Investor Fund (to be renamed UBS Tax-Free Investor Fund effective on or about 08/31/2016)

UBS Cash Sweep Platform Changes

To comply with the SEC's amended rules as well as to streamline investment options for fund shareholders, UBS AM expects to makes changes to its current menu of money market funds available via UBS Financial Services' automatic 'cash sweep platform.' Some funds may no longer be offered on cash sweep platforms, and investors may be transitioned to alternate money market sweep products. Shareholders will receive separate communications with specific fund changes later in 2016.

UBS AM is working to ensure that its products, systems and processes will comply with the new SEC regulations before the relevant compliance deadlines and meet the funds' goals of safety, liquidity and income.
