The Board has delegated to the UBS Global Asset Management 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 securities or
instruments 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, periodic internal audit reviews and annual review of securities valuations by the Funds
independent auditors.
The types of securities or instruments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are
not limited to: foreign securities and instruments under some circumstances, as discussed below,
securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; securities or instruments 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 securities or instruments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The
need to fair value a Funds portfolio securities and other instruments may also result from low trading
volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic securities or instruments, and when a security 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 a securitys or instruments 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 securities or instruments; and the evaluation of
forces which influence the market in which the securities or instruments are purchased and sold.
Valuing securities and other instruments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing
securities and other instruments that have readily available market quotations. Fair value
determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by a fair value pricing service.
US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) requires disclosure surrounding 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.
In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new disclosures have been implemented for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a companys financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of US GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Funds financial statement disclosures.

* | Non-income producing security. | |
1 | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. 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 July 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to $46,382,288 or 16.32% of net assets. | |
2 | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At July 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to $51,405,860 or 18.09% of net assets. | |
3 | Security is illiquid. At July 31, 2012, the value of these securities and other derivative instruments amounted to $1,102,000 or 0.39% of net assets. | |
4 | Security linked to closed-end fund or structured investment vehicle. | |
5 | Security held past stated maturity date due to defaulted status. Bond is being traded based on potential future claim. | |
6 | Variable or floating rate security The interest rate shown is the current rate as of July 31, 2012 and changes periodically. | |
7 | Security pays, when required, a floating rate that is determined annually based on the Argentina GDP. | |
8 | 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 issuers country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity. | |
9 | Rate shown reflects annualized yield at July 31, 2012 on zero coupon bond. | |
10 | Step bond Coupon rate increases in increments to maturity. Rate disclosed is as of July 31, 2012. Maturity date disclosed is the ultimate maturity date. | |
11 | Security is being fair valued by a valuation committee under the direction of the Board of Directors. At July 31, 2012, the value of this security amounted to $0 or 0.00% of net assets. | |

13 | The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities and other instruments 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 matrix systems that derive values based on comparable securities or instruments. A matrix 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 securities. Securities 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. Securities 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 securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (UBS Global AM), the investment advisor of the Fund. If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Funds Board of Directors (the Board). Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign investments occur between the time at which they are determined and the close of the NYSE, which will not be reflected in the computation of the Funds net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such time periods, the securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company as provided by such other entity. Pursuant to the Funds adoption of use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820 that is effective for interim periods ending after December 15, 2009, 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. | |
