Introduction

The Private Wealth Management Portfolio Advisory Group (PWM PAG) is pleased to provide our valued clients the May 2010 Monthly Investment Guide. The Guide sets out key economic and market data from the past month and offers forward-looking UBS views over a wide range of market and investment areas. Unless otherwise noted, all opinions, projections and forecasts found within this Guide are taken from research conducted and published by UBS Wealth Management Research-Americas. All strategic asset allocation models included have been developed by UBS Investment Solutions, a business sector within UBS Wealth Management Americas that develops research-based traditional investments (e.g., managed accounts and mutual fund offerings) and alternative strategies (e.g., hedge funds, private equity and real estate) offered to UBS clients. The tactical asset allocation models presented reflect the strategic asset allocation models overlayed with the tactical shifts that have been identified by the UBS Wealth Management Americas Investment Committee (WMA-IC), which is made up of members from various business groups within UBS Wealth Management Americas. The short- and long-term investment ideas reflect the views of PWM PAG and UBS Wealth Management Americas product areas. For more information on the composition of the UBS Wealth Management Americas Investment Committee, please see the previous page.

In publishing this Guide, PWM PAG intends to provide a general framework to assist our clients in making informed investment decisions. Specifically, the current strategic and tactical asset allocation models respectively reflect the short-to-medium- and long-term views on an asset-class level of various business groups within UBS Wealth Management Americas. In providing these models, we have differentiated among investors whose net portfolio withdrawals exceed 5% of portfolio value from those whose withdrawals do not. With respect to the latter group of clients, the models included reflect a higher allocation to illiquid asset classes, which seek to align with the clients' reduced liquidity needs. Please note that the asset allocation models are current as of the date shown, but that UBS Wealth Management Americas revises these models as warranted.

In the context of making actual investment decisions, clients should work with their Private Wealth Advisors to customize their portfolios to meet their unique financial and life circumstances, taking into account age, risk tolerance, financial commitments and short-term liquidity needs. In addition, each UBS program, product or service is subject to specific eligibility and suitability requirements, each of which must be met in order for a client to invest.

Implementing or changing an investment strategy may result in incurring gains or losses for income tax purposes. Neither UBS Financial Services Inc., nor any of its employees, provides tax or legal advice. We encourage all investors to consult qualified tax and legal counsel where appropriate, particularly before undertaking any investment in a product that may use leverage, options, derivatives or other complex financial structures.

Finally, nothing contained herein should be construed as an offer to sell or as a solicitation of an offer to buy securities or other investments identified. Unless otherwise noted, all information in the Monthly Investment Guide, including allocations, is as of May 10, 2010.

Modern Greece: Oedipus Redux

As chaos ensued in Athens amidst last week's deadly riots, the prophecy foretold by the market of a Greek default looked more imminent than ever. The demonstrations in the shadows of the Acropolis protesting the proposed austerity measures coincided with the credit default swap (CDS) spread for Greek debt reaching a new record high of over 850 basis points. At the same time, as concerns of contagion broadened, Spain's CDS spread surpassed its previous high-water mark by rising above 225 basis points.

Last week's events – and notwithstanding the broader Eurozone rescue package –demonstrated that the situation in Greece has yet to stabilize. Recent market activity reflects the increasing possibility of an eventual Greek default, and the country's funding costs have spiked, essentially precluding Greece from further tapping global credit markets to fund its ongoing spending needs. In response, Greece, in collaboration with the European Union (E.U.) and International Monetary Fund (IMF), has, in fits and starts, worked hard to put together an alternative funding plan. Ironically, these efforts seem to have only increased the potential of Greece defaulting on its debt, as the EUR 110 billion aid package which resulted should only suffice to cover Greek funding requirements through 2010.

The fact that Eurozone participants have now expanded the scope of the rescue effort to all Eurozone countries does little to improve the shaky structural fundamentals that lie at the heart of the problem. As intended, the roughly US $1 trillion package of loan, guarantee and liquidity measures has provided immediate relief to recent punishing anti-euro market behavior and thus, at least in the short term, seems to have halted the contagion to the sovereign debt markets of other Eurozone countries. But the long-term viability of the Eurozone remains very much in question for several reasons. First, there is concern that the net-funders of the program, in particular Germany, may experience an acute political and legal backlash as the details of the program become known. Second, will the austerity measures required of the net-recipients of the program trigger merely tolerable levels of social unrest? Third, will these measures – namely, fiscal austerity coupled with the creation of additional public debt of up to US $1 trillion – stall European GDP recovery?

On a macro level, Greece indeed represents a microcosm of fiscal challenges that broadly afflict the Eurozone and the developed world overall. We expect long-term structural problems, like ballooning public debt levels and high unemployment, to continue to disrupt market momentum attributable to cyclical tailwinds. Therefore, on the heels of the recent run-up in risk assets coupled with heightened volatility, we are placing a greater emphasis on shielding rather than creating wealth. In this regard, we are now employing strategies discussed in recent versions of this publication, such as collars and put spreads, to hedge asset values.

Consumer spending, which represents 70% of economic activity, rose significantly in 1Q

Source: Economic Outlook immediately above reflects the views and opinions expressed in the UBS Wealth Management Research (WMR) Investment Strategy Guide as of Apr. 28, 2010.

Global OutlookEconomic Summary

The U.S. economy grew at a 3.2% annual rate in the first quarter, a slightly lower-than-expected clip. This deceleration of GDP expansion was partially a result of slower export growth and a spike in imports relative to last quarter. On a positive note, consumer spending rose 3.6%, more than double the previous quarter's rate, and comprised nearly 80% of 1Q GDP growth.

Citing high unemployment and low inflation, the Federal Reserve maintained its policy stance to keep interest rates low "for an extended period" at its meeting on April 28. While the Fed's language did not materially change from recent meetings, the overall tone regarding the strength of the economic recovery was more upbeat as the Fed noted the pick-up in consumer and business spending. Although the Fed pointed out that labor markets remain challenged, its description of the overall job market struck a more positive tenor.

The Conference Board's April consumer confidence report reached its highest point since August 2009, beating consensus estimates as consumers' outlook for the labor market became more optimistic. The number of respondents citing favorable labor conditions increased to its highest level since April 2009. The key expectations component also rose, forecasting a positive trend in consumer spending growth that correlates with the recent improvement in retail sales.

Labor markets showed modest signs of healing in April, as evidenced by weekly jobless claims falling slightly after recently trending upward and private hiring surging to levels not seen in over three years. Overall unemployment, however, rose to 9.9%.

Economic Outlook

The combination of increased manufacturing activity, a rebound in consumer spending and modest improvements in the housing and labor markets signals that the U.S. is settling into a long-term sustainable economic expansion. However, the lingering effects of the credit crisis on consumers and the financial sector should result in a relatively restrained expansion, fueled mostly by a restocking of inventories and increased business spending. UBS WMR recently slightly reduced its forecast for 2010 GDP growth to 3.2%, while maintaining its 3.0% forecast for 2011.

As long as the economy continues to operate below capacity, we expect inflation fears to be kept at bay. Thus, we maintain the belief that when the FOMC begins to raise the Fed funds rate, it will do so gradually. Before the initial rate hike occurs, the first signs of a shift away from the extraordinarily accommodative monetary policy will come in the form of a removal or winding down of current stimulus measures such as the homebuyers' tax credit, which expired on April 30. A gradual withdrawal of excess liquidity in the system is likely to follow these actions. While the slow pace of tightening is apt to keep short-term rates low, longer-term interest rates should continue to move higher as business spending accelerates and government borrowing needs increase. Changing economic conditions could accelerate or delay FOMC action, however.

Whereas the economic revival in the U.S. appears stable, Greece's fiscal predicament and attendant contagion to other EU countries have threatened the Eurozone's recovery. S&P has downgraded Greece's sovereign debt to junk status; the downgrading of Portugal's and Spain's sovereign debt has further fueled fears of contagion throughout the region. In response, E.U. policymakers cobbled together a comprehensive relief package to support the euro and the fiscally-distressed member nations. While these actions should bring short-term relief to the Eurozone, the details are yet to emerge and it is premature to judge the long-term implications for the region.

While the U.S. recovery continues to gain steam, several risks remain, including the potential impact of financial reform and the growing fiscal crises in Europe

Global Outlook

Source: Market Outlook immediately above reflects the views and opinions expressed in the UBS Wealth Management Research (WMR) Investment Strategy Guide as of Apr. 28, 2010.

Financial sector reform and recent SEC investigations have increased the risk related to corporate bonds of financial sector issuers

As the focus shifts toward a measured removal of excess liquidity, the "reflation" rally that lifted risk assets has run its course

Value stocks continue to outperform growth stocks

Aggressive cost cutting and improved business prospects have helped fuel corporate earnings

Market Summary

Despite Greece's ongoing fiscal issues and the SEC investigation into Goldman Sachs leading to a market pullback in the final week of April, equity markets remained positive for the month on the back of strong corporate earnings. The S&P gained 1.6% and is now up over 7% year-to-date. Mid- and small-cap stocks continued to lead the rally as the Russell Mid-Cap Index rose 3.8% and the Russell 2000 gained 5.7%.

The lack of a clear plan to aid Greece continued to weigh on European markets. The MSCI Europe Index fell 3.1% and is down over 5% for the year. The MSCI EAFE Index was also negative, returning -2.1% in April. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 1.0%.

U.S. bond markets posted strong gains in April. The Barclays Aggregate Index gained 1.0% while the Barclays Muni Bond Index rose 1.2%. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate High Yield Index continued to rally, returning 2.3%. Outside the U.S., the J.P. Morgan Non-U.S. Dollar Index fell 0.3%.

Market Outlook

Another surprisingly strong earnings season has neared its conclusion, with corporate profits well exceeding consensus expectations. Quarterly profits of those companies which have reported thus far have increased nearly 50% year-over-year. While corporate earnings have been impressive overall, not all sectors have participated. A disproportionate percentage of the companies beating expectations have been concentrated in the technology and financial sectors, highlighting our view that market behavior will be less directional in 2010 and that investors should focus on specific opportunities within individual sectors and regions.

While corporate earnings have yet again surprised to the upside, UBS WMR maintains a neutral weight to equity markets for several reasons. First, the sharp rally has pushed valuations near fair value, leaving additional price appreciation to be dependent on future earnings growth exceeding expectations. Second, accommodative policy measures are starting to be unwound, removing a tailwind for risk assets. Last, earnings and economic expectations are rising, leaving greater room for disappointments that could lead to periodic pull-backs.

Within equity markets, we have increased our overweight to emerging markets while reducing our weighting to the Eurozone. In emerging markets, fears of continued monetary tightening have led to a deceleration of returns to date. In our view, these measures are prudent given the rapid growth occurring within emerging markets, and we therefore feel that the negative market reaction is likely to be temporary. In the midst of cyclical economic expansion in these markets and reasonable stock valuations, we believe that the equities of emerging markets present the most attractive investment opportunity relative to those of other regions. Fiscal crises within the Eurozone have lead us to remain cautious on equities within the region despite current attractive valuations. While E.U. policymakers finally agreed upon a wide-ranging aid package intended to fend off a debt contagion crisis, the details of the package as well as the lasting effects on the economy are still to be determined. In any case, we expect funding costs and growth prospects across the E.U. will continue to be impacted by fiscal challenges.

Within the U.S., we maintain our overweights to large- and mid-caps relative to small-caps while continuing to slightly favor growth over value stocks. At the sector level, UBS WMR increased energy's overweight and maintained its technology and financial overweights.

We continue to have an above-benchmark allocation to credit sensitive sectors within U.S. fixed income. With both investment grade and high yield corporate spreads having moved closer to long-term averages, returns are likely to be muted but are still poised to outperform rate-sensitive areas of the market, such as Treasuries and agencies. Our expectations for rising Treasury yields lead us to maintain our duration underweight. We favor 2- to 7-year maturities for Treasuries, agencies and corporates and 7- to 12-year maturities for municipals.

While European markets have faltered, Japanese equities have been providing strong returns year-to-date

Despite a wide-ranging relief package, many Eurozone countries face a long road ahead in solving their fiscal budgets

MLPs have relatively outperformed the S&P 500 in the past few years, with the exception of 2007

Figure 1: Price Performance of MLPs

Source: FactSet as of Apr. 30, 2010.

MLPs have experienced significant gains since we last discussed the sector in our May 2009 Monthly Spotlight, surging nearly 50.0% as measured by the Alerian MLP Price Index. Given the importance ofthe yield component of total return in today's non-directional markets, we continue to believe that the combination of competitive yields, improving fundamentals and inherent tax-deferral advantages offered by MLPs presents an attractive investment opportunity. Indeed, among higher income-producing asset classes, only high yield bonds currently offer greater yields, yet without the aforementioned tax-deferral advantages. We therefore recommend that income-seeking investors who are willing to accept equity-like volatility - and are also seeking the associated appreciation potential - build selective exposure to larger, diversified MLPs.

Overview of the SectorMLPs are limited partnerships that issue investment units which are listed on public exchanges. Similar to fixed income, MLPs trade based on their current yield and generate significant cash flow through quarterly distributions. Generally, at least 70% of cash distributions to individual investors are tax-deferred, with this portion treated as a return of capital which thus reduces the investor's tax basis. Deferred taxes are not realized until the unit is sold.

While MLPs are involved in the transportation of oil and natural gas, they have historically demonstrated reduced volatility and low correlations relative to traditional commodity investments (see Figures 3, 4). MLPs are generally not strongly affected by fluctuations in natural gas and crude oil prices; accordingly, they are far lessinfluenced by short-term shocks in the space.

Rather, key risks to the MLP sector, which can manifest in heightened price volatility, center around access to and the cost of capital to fund growth projects. During the credit crisis, MLPs' dependency on third-party funding left the asset class particularly vulnerable at the peak of the capital market turmoil, with many unable to obtain affordable financing, if any at all. A change to the existing, favorable regulatory environment also poses risk to the MLP space. The Obama Administration's review of existing tax law could conceivably lead to proposed reform that could eliminate these tax benefits.

Current StateOver the past year, much improved access to capital markets, investors taking advantage of attractive valuations due to short-term price dislocations, and increased commodity demand provided strong tailwinds for MLP investors (see Figure 1). Following the impressive rally, the sector is now fairly valued, as measured by the yield spread over 10-year U.S. Treasuries (see Figure 2). As such, unit prices are currently more vulnerable to volatility. In addition, yield spreads between lower and higher risk MLPs have converged due to investors increasingly seeking higher yields. This has rendered higher yielding MLPs relatively less attractive.

Outlook and OpportunityDespite reduced price appreciation prospects, we maintain our positive outlook based on competitive yields and constructive long-term fundamentals.

Attractive Yields - MLPs continue to present compelling cash distribution yields, with most ranging between 6% and 8%. While current costs of capital have risen, likely hindering future growth prospects, we still expect yields of 7% and distribution growth of approximately 5%, which in our view should support low double-digit annual returns. Growth in distribution rates is particularly important as it provides investors with the prospect of a larger cash flow cushion to offset unit price volatility in the face of inflation and rising interest rates (see Figure 5). In addition, the slated increase in U.S. tax rates may serve as a tailwind for MLP prices as demand grows for tax-advantaged investments that offer solid income.

Fundamentals - Most MLPs currently maintain healthy balance sheets and have taken advantage of recently improved market conditions to raise capital. This bodes well for these MLPs since they depend on the ability to finance a pipeline of projects to grow cash distributions. Further, we expect broader demand for domestically-sourced natural resources, like shale, gas and oil, will provide MLPswith a constant stream of project growth for the foreseeable future.

Implementation OptionsIn our view, investors should focus on larger, diversified partnerships that have strong underlying business fundamentals. MLPs can present significant company-specific risk and, consequently, we recommend that clients gain exposure to MLPs through active management. There are three primary ways to invest in MLPs: separately managed accounts, closed-end funds and exchange-traded notes.

For larger investments (>$500k), a separately managed account will typically offer a more attractive cost structure. On the other hand, closed-end funds offer simplified tax reporting, though income streams are taxed twice - at the fund and investor level. High associated fees can also reduce yield, which most closed-end funds attempt to replace by employing leverage.

Like closed-end funds, MLP ETNs are convenient from a tax perspective, since variable coupons are reported on Form 1099s, which eliminate the administrative burden associated with K-1's. In addition, ETNs possess other benefits such as low expenses and no leverage, which can provide reduced price volatility. It is important to note that ETNs are subject to issuer credit risk; distributions are taxed at marginal income tax rates and therefore do not benefit from deferred income advantages.

ConclusionWhile a significant run-up in the sector during 2009 has dampened price appreciation potential, we nonetheless believe that the MLP space continues to present attractive opportunities for equity investors seeking high tax-advantaged income. It is important to note that since the taxation of MLPs can be complex, investors should consult with a qualified tax advisor prior to investing.

Tactical Allocation Summary

UnderweightU.S. Government Securities♦ Even without a major pick-up in inflation, we believe that Treasury yields will rise as the recovery takes hold.♦ Treasury valuations remain unattractive relative to other parts of the fixed income market, as they are most

exposed to any re-pricing due to inflation risk.♦ Underweight TIPS since we expect real yields to edge higher along with nominal yields, which would hurt

price performance of longer maturity TIPS. ♦ In terms of a long-term strategic position, we believe that TIPS with 5- to 10-year maturities hold value.

ModerateOverweight

Investment Grade Corporates♦ Investment grade corporate bond fundamentals are positive as companies have participated in debt reduction

efforts and maintained strong balance sheets. ♦ Recommend 'BBB'-rated bonds across all sectors since we feel that they present the best relative value and

offer greater yield opportunity at only modestly higher levels of risk.♦ Prefer bonds with emerging markets exposure to help alleviate concerns over rising interest rates. ♦ Favor shorter-dated bonds (3- to 7-yr maturities), which can outperform in a rising rate environment.

NeutralU.S. Convertibles♦ Risks remain for short-term volatility and selling pressure, although this pressure has abated recently.♦ In general, convertible bonds offer investors diversification benefits over a full market cycle.♦ Issuance trends remain favorable.

Moderate Underweight

U.S. Municipals♦ Increased Build America Bond issuance and recent ratings recalibration strategies by Moody’s and Fitch have

been key drivers of municipal strong performance. BABs may be suitable for income buyers with long-term horizons.

♦ Tight tax-exempt supply and the prospects for higher tax rates continue to support municipal prices. ♦ Moderate underweight stance inferred from the combination of spread compression and attractive relative

opportunities available within investment grade and high yield corporates.♦ We favor 7- to 12-year maturities as well as defensive sectors, such as pre-refunded, essential purpose

revenue in the water/sewer and public utility sectors, general obligation and special tax bonds.

Overweight

ModerateUnderweight

Moderate Overweight

Tactical View

Emerging Markets Equity♦ With fewer structural challenges and superior growth prospects, emerging markets (EMs) remain an attractive

investment opportunity over the medium and long term.♦ EMs have historically outperformed developed markets when the global economy enters a cyclical recovery.♦ Current EM equity valuations are fairly valued, in our opinion.♦ We expect weakness on the heels of recent monetary tightening to be temporary as we view these measures

to be prudent steps to preserve long-term growth.♦ This year's underperformance by EM equities has presented a relatively attractive investment opportunity,

leading UBS WMR to upgrade the region.

Non-U.S. Developed Equity♦ Eurozone continues to lag in its recovery relative to the U.S. and Asia-ex Japan. ♦ Greece's fiscal concerns will likely keep the euro under pressure, and fears of a broader financial contagion

have risen resulting in a tactical downgrade for the Eurozone region. ♦ Remain moderate underweight Japan on a relative basis as we are concerned that the yen may come under

pressure in the next few months.

U.S. Equities♦ While equity valuations appear more attractive in Europe, the cyclical picture favors U.S. markets.♦ Equities are trading at fair value and are supported by strong earnings growth.♦ Positive corporate earnings exceeded analyst expectations in 1Q and can be attributed to aggressive cost

cutting, increased business spending and rebounding revenue. ♦ Preference for U.S. mid-cap over small-cap and growth over value, as well as select sectors, notably

technology, energy and financials. ♦ Recommend dollar cost averaging when entering equity markets. Investors need to balance long-term

potential with the possibility of further market volatility.*

Tactical Allocation Summary

OverweightCommodities*♦ Maintain our overweight to commodities as demand remains solid and we believe that prices should continue

to rise given the global cyclical recovery.♦ Growth in emerging markets and inventory restocking in developed markets should underpin demand.♦ Commodities could act as an attractive hedge against future inflationary concerns in the markets as well as

protect against potential long-term depreciation of the U.S. dollar. ♦ Recommend increasing allocations to crude oil and select base metals, precious metals and soft commodities.♦ Debt fears have increased physical demand for gold, which should support prices in the coming quarters.

Moderate Underweight

Real Estate*♦ Stabilizing commercial property values and an increase in risk appetite has helped drive gains within the real

estate market. ♦ Although REITs have recently benefitted, we currently view them as having unattractive valuations, poor

relative earnings momentum trends and challenging fundamentals.♦ Over $1 trillion of debt is set to mature over the next three years, putting further pressure on homeowners.

NeutralPrivate Equity*♦ Favor distressed funds due to longer investment horizons, current valuations and the need of many

corporations to adjust balance sheets.♦ Somewhat restrictive lending likely to limit activity in the LBO market, particularly affecting mega buyouts.♦ Current environment favors secondary funds, which provide transparency and flexibility in choosing deals.

NeutralHedge Funds*♦ Neutral relative value: Within fixed income, less capital is committed to chasing more persistent anomalies,

allowing ample trading opportunities. Sufficiently high volatility enables managers to use less leverage for the same return.

♦ Neutral long/short equity: Managers are showing increased risk appetite by expanding gross and net exposure when opportunities dictate. Total market- and sector-level stock dispersion has reached long-term levels.

♦ Moderate overweight tactical trading: Imbalances between economies or long-term changes in consumption patterns can trigger potentially large flows between regions and asset classes. Thus, opportunities for discretionary trading appear strong across currencies, fixed income, equities and commodities. The overall macroeconomic uncertainty should continue to provide sufficient volatility in the markets to present a range of investment opportunities.

♦ Moderate underweight event driven: 2010 deal activity is forecasted to be more robust than last year. Access to capital, lower volatility in equity markets and increased optimism for company management could contribute to an uptick in deal activity. Improving company valuations could enhance the importance of stock deals. Strategic buyers are expected to be more active than private equity sponsors, although high yield financing is now more available and leveraged loans may also provide a source of funding.

♦ Neutral credit strategies: Asset prices are reflecting attractive IRRs. Distressed and credit long/short should benefit from an abundance of opportunities. Market technicals continue to drive the argument behind spreads grinding tighter in 2010; however, we would argue that technicals are getting a bit ahead of fundamentals. There is need for some caution with directional credit-oriented strategies.

NeutralNon-U.S. Fixed Income♦ Fiscal sustainability in Greece and other EU nations such as Portugal and Spain has become a concern for

European markets and growth prospects, lowering consumer and business confidence.♦ Moderate underweight stance on European bond markets and Japan, and neutral on the U.K. Within

emerging markets, we prefer Brazilian, Chilean, Hungarian, Indonesian, and Russian bonds.♦ We also recommend exposure to commodity currencies in the form of sovereign bonds.

Moderate Overweight

Tactical View

High Yield Fixed Income♦ High yield markets continue to benefit from high investor demand and an improved default outlook as

WMR predicts default rates to drop. ♦ Still favor high yield over investment grade due to more attractive relative yields.♦ High yield bonds may offer some protection against rising Treasury rates over the next year.

♦ We deem the energy equity sector as attractive based on crude oil outlook; UBS WMR forecasts oil prices to average $85 per barrel in 2010 and believes that oil prices will fluctuate between USD 90 and 100 during 2Q

♦ Uptick in industrial activity and stabilizing U.S. crude oil inventories should propel prices higher

♦ Favor oil-oriented names in the energy sector

♦ China and India exhibit strong demand for coal, which should lead to price acceleration

♦ Sector should benefit from relatively stronger global growth prospects outside U.S., as foreign sales are a key driver at about 50% of total sales

♦ Steady, sustainable economic growth should support further outperformance of both banks and diversified financials by leading to lower provisioning and stronger loan growth

♦ Valuations remain at attractive levels

♦ Asset quality continues to improve more than expected, and first quarter earnings were very strong

♦ Net interest margins should be a positive for banks given the steepness of the yield curve and a Federal Reserve which appears committed to keeping short rates low for an extended period of time

♦ Reduce exposure to low coupon preferreds of strong credits –consider Build America Bonds to replace income

♦ Favor higher-coupon fixed rate and floating-rate preferred issues to mitigate interest rate risk

♦ Higher-coupon preferreds provide a buffer to help absorb price loss stemming from higher Treasury yields

♦ Recommend reducing exposure to low coupon preferreds of strong credits due to high interest rate price risk of this category – consider Build America Bonds to replace income

UPDATED05/10/10

♦ Credit conditions worsen, causing spreads to widen

♦ Financial reform risk♦ Interest rate risk

♦ Focus on 'BBB'-rated bonds in non-financial sectors

♦ For investors with greater risk tolerance, recommend U.S. dollar-denominated emerging market bonds and U.S. company bonds with emerging markets exposure

♦ UBS WMR target maturity range is 3-7 years

♦ Investors may also want to consider Build America Bonds as a possible alternative to corporate bonds

♦ After price rebound, yields are now much less compelling, and the segment has reached full valuation

♦ We believe investment grade in select segments ('BBB'-rated bonds in non-financial sectors) still presents a solid alternative to most other fixed income sectors

♦ Bonds with emerging markets exposure often offer more attractive yields and may protect against rising interest rates

♦ As we have returned to a more normalized spread range, investors will need to be aware of idiosyncratic risk and choose carefully in this environment

Reports from the first source, UBS Wealth Management Research, are designed primarily for use by individual investors and are produced by UBS Wealth Management Americas (the UBS business group that includes, among others, UBS Financial Services Inc.) and UBS Wealth Management & Swiss Bank. The second source is UBS Investment Research, and its reports are produced by UBS Investment Bank, whose primary business focus is institutional investors. The two sources may have different opinions and recommendations. The various research content provided does not take into account the unique investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any specific individual investor.

UBS Strategic and Tactical Asset Allocation ModelsThe strategic asset allocation models presented represent the longer-term allocation of assets that is deemed suitable for a particular type of investor. The strategic asset allocations presented in this Guide have been developed by UBS Investment Solutions, a business sector within UBS Wealth Management Americas, that develops research-based traditional investments (e.g., managed accounts and mutual fund programs) and alternative strategies (e.g., hedge funds, private equity and real estate) offered to UBS clients. These allocation models are provided for illustrative purposes only. They were designed by UBS Investment Solutions for hypothetical U.S. investors with a total return objective under five different investor profiles: conservative, moderate conservative, moderate, growth and aggressive. Please note that UBS has changed its strategic asset allocation models in the past and may do so in the future.

The process by which UBS Investment Solutions has derived the strategic asset allocations can be described as follows. First, anallocation is made to broad asset classes based on the Investor Profile. This is accomplished using optimization methods within a mean-variance framework. Based on a proprietary set of capital market assumptions, including expected returns, risk and correlation of different asset classes, combinations of the broad asset classes are computed. A qualitative judgmental overlay is then applied to the output of the optimization process to arrive at the strategic asset allocation models. The capital market assumptions are developed by UBS Global Asset Management.

The tactical asset allocation models presented reflect the strategic asset allocation models overlayed with the tactical shift that has been identified by the UBS Wealth Management Americas Investment Committee (WMA-IC), which is made up of members from various business groups within UBS Wealth Management Americas, including UBS Wealth Management Research-Americas, UBS Investment Solutions and Private Wealth Management Portfolio Advisory Group. Note that UBS Wealth Management Research-Americas also publishes tactical asset allocations in its Investment Strategy Guide which may differ from the tactical asset allocation models presented here.

Your UBS Private Wealth Advisor can help you determine how the strategic and tactical allocation could be applied or modified according to your individual profile and investment goals.

Important Information

Portfolio Analytics

The portfolio analytics shown for the strategic asset allocation models are based on the estimated hypothetical return and standard deviation assumptions (capital market assumptions) shown below, which are based on UBS proprietary research. The development process includes a review of a variety of factors, including the return, risk, correlations and historical performance of various asset classes, inflation and risk premium. These capital market assumptions do not assume any particular investment time horizon. The process assumes a situation in which the supply and demand for investments is in balance, and in which expected returns of all asset classes are a reflection of their expected risk and correlations regardless of timeframe. Please note that these assumptions are not guarantees and are subject to change. UBS has changed its risk and return assumptions in the past and may do so in the future. Neither UBS nor your Private Wealth Advisor is required to provide you with an updated analysis based upon changes to these or other underlying assumptions.

In order to create the analysis shown, the rates of return for each asset class are combined in the same proportion as the assetallocations illustrated (e.g., if the asset allocation indicates 40% equities, then 40% of the results shown for the allocation will be based on the estimated hypothetical return and standard deviation assumptions for equities shown below).

You should understand that the analysis shown and assumptions used are hypothetical estimates provided for your general information. The results are not guarantees and pertain to the asset allocation and/or asset classes in general, not the performance of specific securities or investments. Your actual results may vary significantly from the results shown in this report, as can the performance of any individual security or investment.

Important Information

Investment RisksAll investments involve risks which you should carefully consider prior to implementing an investment strategy. The following are general descriptions of the risks that can arise from the investments identified in this Guide. In addition to these risks, securities issued by small-cap companies may relatively be highly volatile because the earnings and business prospects typically fluctuate more than larger-cap companies. Securities issued by non-U.S. companies can have risks not typically associated with domestic securities, including risks associated with changes in currency values, economic, political and social conditions, loss of market liquidity, the regulatory environment of the respective country and difficulties in receiving current or accurate information.

Equities: Equity securities are subject to market risk and will undergo price fluctuations in which downward and upward trends may occur over short or extended periods. Historically, equities have shown greater growth potential than other types of securities, but they have also shown greater volatility.

Corporate Bonds: Fixed income securities are subject to market risk and interest rate risk. If sold in the secondary market prior to maturity, investors may experience a gain or loss depending on interest rates, market conditions and issuer credit quality.

Municipal Securities: Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes based on residency of the investor and may be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Call features may exist that can impact yield. If sold prior to maturity, investments in municipal securities are subject to gains/losses based on the level of interest rates, market conditions and credit quality of the issuer.

U.S. Treasury TIPS: The market for U.S. Treasury TIPS may not be as active or liquid as the secondary market for Treasury fixed-principal securities. Lesser liquidity and fewer market participants may result in larger spreads between the dealer-bid and the dealer-offered side of the market for inflation-protected securities than the bid-asked spreads for fixed-principal securities with the same time to maturity. Larger bid-asked spreads normally result in higher transaction costs and/or lower overall returns.

Preferred Securities: Preferred securities are subject to market value fluctuation given changes in the level of interest rates. Rising rates may lead to a decline in value. In addition, there is no guarantee that there will be an active secondary market for any issue.

Convertible Securities: Convertible securities are subject to the risks of both equity and fixed income securities, including that the values may fluctuate due to interest rate changes.

Inflation Indexed Securities: An investment in securities with principal or interest determined by reference to an inflation index involves factors not associated with an investment in a fixed coupon and principal security, such as the inflation index may be subject to significant changes; that changes in the index may or may not correlate to changes in interest rates generally or with changes in other indexes and that the resulting interest may be greater or less than that payable on other securities of similar maturities. Historic performance of the index is not necessarily indicative of future performance. In addition, there is no guarantee that there will be an active and liquid secondary market for these securities.

Structured Products: Structured products involve risks which can include, but are not limited to: fluctuations in the price, level or yield of underlying instruments, interest rates, currency values and credit quality, substantial or complete loss of principal, limits on participation in the appreciation of the underlying instrument, limited liquidity/limited or no secondary market for the structured product, credit risk of the issuer of the structured product, potential conflicts of interest between the investor and the business activities of UBS, other issuers of structured products or their respective affiliates. Clients should carefully read the detailed explanation of risks, together with other information in the relevant offering materials. As structured products are debt obligations of the issuer, investors should be comfortable with the credit risk of the issuer before purchasing a structured product.

Managed Accounts: For complete information regarding an investment manager, including fees and performance, see the manager’s Form ADV, Part II. For information regarding managers participating in ACCESS or other UBS investment advisory programs, your Private Wealth Advisor can provide additional information, including the respective program's disclosure brochure.

Mutual Funds and ETFs: Mutual funds and exchange traded funds are sold by prospectus. For complete information about a fund, including detailed information on risks, charges and expenses, see the fund’s prospectus. Please read the prospectus and offering documents carefully before you invest. Investors should be aware that the value of mutual funds and exchange traded funds changes from day to day. Therefore, an investment’s return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Important Information

Investment Risks – Non-Traditional Asset ClassesNon-traditional asset classes are alternative investments that include hedge funds, private equity, real estate, managed futures andcommodities (collectively, alternative investments). Alternative investments are often long-term, illiquid investments that are not easily valued. The performance of these investments may be volatile and investors may lose all or a substantial amount of their investments. Leveraging and other speculative investment practices that increase the risk of investment loss may be used. Periodic pricing or valuation information may not be available for investors. Generally, complex tax strategies are involved, and there may be delays in distributing tax information to investors. High fees may reduce profits. Alternative investments are sold only to qualified investors, and only by means of offering documents that include information about the risks, performance and expenses of the strategies, all of which should be read carefully before making an investment.

In addition to the risks that apply to alternative investments generally, the following are additional risks related to an investment in these strategies:

Hedge Fund Risk: There are risks specifically associated with investing in hedge funds, which may include risks associated with investing in short sales, options, small-cap stocks, “junk bonds," derivatives, distressed securities, non-U.S. securities and illiquid investments.

Hedge Fund of Funds: In addition to the risks associated with hedge funds generally, an investor should recognize that the overall performance of a fund of funds is dependent not only on the investment performance of the manager of the fund, but also on the performance of the underlying managers. The investor will bear the management fees and expenses of both the fund of funds and the underlying hedge funds or accounts in which the fund of funds invests, which could be significant.

Managed Futures: There are risks specifically associated with investing in managed futures programs. For example, not all managers focus on all strategies at all times, and managed futures strategies may have material directional elements.

Real Estate: There are risks specifically associated with investing in real estate products and real estate investment trusts. They involve risks associated with debt, adverse changes in general economic or local market conditions, changes in governmental, tax, real estate and zoning laws or regulations, risks associated with capital calls and, for some real estate products, the risks associated with the ability to qualify for favorable treatment under the federal tax laws.

Private Equity: There are risks specifically associated with investing in private equity. Capital calls can be made on short notice, and the failure to meet capital calls can result in significant adverse consequences including, but not limited to, a total loss of investment.

Foreign Exchange/Currency Risk: Investors in securities of issuers located outside of the United States should be aware that even for securities denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the issuer’s “home” currency can have unexpected effects on the market value and liquidity of those securities. Those securities may also be affected by other risks (such as political, economic or regulatory changes) that may not be readily known to a U.S. investor.

Options: Options are not suitable for all investors. Please read the Options Clearing Corporation Publication titled "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options Trading" and consult your tax advisor prior to investing. The Publication can be obtained fromyour Financial Services Inc., Financial Advisor, or can be accessed under the Publications Section of the Option Clearing Corporation's website: www.theocc.com.

Description of Certain Alternative Investment StrategiesEquity Hedge: investment managers who maintain positions both long and short in primarily equity and equity-derivative securities. A wide variety of investment processes can be employed to arrive at an investment decision, including both quantitative and fundamental techniques; strategies can be broadly diversified or narrowly focused on specific sectors and can range broadly in terms of levels of net exposure, leverage employed, holding period, concentrations of market capitalizations and valuation ranges of typical portfolios. Equity hedge managers would typically maintain at least 50% and may, in some cases, be substantially entirely invested in equities, both long and short.

Event Driven: investment managers who maintain positions in companies currently or prospectively involved in corporate transactions of a wide variety including, but not limited to, mergers, restructurings, financial distress, tender offers, shareholder buybacks, debt exchanges, security issuance or other capital structure adjustments. Security types can range from most senior in the capital structure to most junior or subordinated, and frequently involve additional derivative securities. Event-driven exposure includes a combination of sensitivities to equity markets, credit markets and idiosyncratic, company-specific developments. Investment theses are typically predicated on fundamental characteristics (as opposed to quantitative), with the realization of the thesis predicated on a specific development exogenous to the existing capital structure.

Description of Certain Alternative Investment Strategies (continued)

Credit Arbitrage Strategies: employ an investment process designed to isolate attractive opportunities in corporate fixed income securities. These include both senior and subordinated claims as well as bank debt and other outstanding obligations, structuring positions with little or no broad credit market exposure. These may also contain a limited exposure to government, sovereign, equity, convertible or other obligations, but the focus of the strategy is primarily on fixed corporate obligations and other securities held as component positions within these structures. Managers typically employ fundamental credit analysis to evaluate the likelihood of an improvement in the issuer's creditworthiness. In most cases, securities trade in liquid markets, and managers are only infrequently or indirectly involved with company management. Fixed income: corporate strategies differ from event driven; credit arbitrage in the former more typically involves more general market hedges, which may vary in the degree to which they limit fixed income market exposure, while the latter typically involves arbitrage positions with little or no net credit market exposure, but are predicated on specific, anticipated idiosyncratic developments.

Macro: investment managers who trade a broad range of strategies in which the investment process is predicated on movements in underlying economic variables and the impact these have on equity, fixed income, hard currency and commodity markets. Managers employ a variety of techniques, both discretionary and systematic analysis, combinations of top-down and bottom-up theses, quantitative and fundamental approaches and long- and short-term holding periods. Although some strategies employ relative value techniques, macro strategies are distinct from relative value strategies in that the primary investment thesis is predicated on predicted or future movements in the underlying instruments, rather than realization of a valuation discrepancy between securities. In a similar way, while both macro and equity hedge managers may hold equity securities, the overriding investment thesis is predicated on the impact movements in underlying macroeconomic variables may have on security prices, as opposed to equity hedge, in which the fundamental characteristics of the company are the most significant and integral to investment thesis.

Distressed Restructuring Strategies: employ an investment process focused on corporate fixed income instruments, primarily on corporate credit instruments of companies trading at significant discounts to their value at issuance, or obliged (par value) atmaturity, as a result of either a formal bankruptcy proceeding or financial market perception of near-term proceedings. Managers are typically actively involved with the management of these companies, frequently involved on creditors' committees in negotiating the exchange of securities for alternative obligations, either swaps of debt, equity or hybrid securities. Managers employ fundamental credit processes focused on valuation and asset coverage of securities of distressed firms. In most cases, portfolioexposures are concentrated in instruments which are publicly traded, in some cases actively and in others under reduced liquidity but, in general, for which a reasonable public market exists. In contrast to special situations, distressed strategies primarily employ debt (greater than 60%) but also may maintain related equity exposure.

Relative Value: investment managers who maintain positions in which the investment thesis is predicated on realization of a valuation discrepancy in the relationship between multiple securities. Managers employ a variety of fundamental and quantitativetechniques to establish investment theses, and security types range broadly across equity, fixed income, derivative or other security types. Fixed income strategies are typically quantitatively driven to measure the existing relationship between instruments and, in some cases, identify attractive positions in which the risk-adjusted spread between these instruments represents an attractive opportunity for the investment manager. Relative value position may be involved in corporate transactions also, but as opposed to event driven exposures, the investment thesis is predicated on realization of a pricing discrepancy between related securities, as opposed to the outcome of the corporate transaction.

All data used for both liquidity and production calculations are averaged for a five-year period.

HFRI Equity Hedge: equally weighted index of investment managers who employ equity hedge strategies, maintaining both long and short positions primarily in equity and equity derivative securities. Equity hedge managers would typically maintain at least 50% exposure to, and may in some cases be entirely invested in, equities - both long and short.

HFRI Event Driven: equally weighted index of investment managers who maintain positions in companies currently or prospectively involved in corporate transactions of a wide variety including but not limited to mergers, restructurings, financial distress, tender offers, shareholder buybacks, debt exchanges, security issuance or other capital structure adjustments.

HFRI Distressed & Restructuring: equally weighted index of investment managers that employ an investment process focused oncorporate fixed income instruments, primarily on corporate credit instruments of companies trading at significant discounts to their value at issuance or obliged (par value) at maturity as a result of either formal bankruptcy proceeding or financial market perception of near-term proceedings. Distressed strategies employ primarily debt (greater than 60%) but also may maintain related equity exposure.

HFRI Fund of Funds Index: fund of funds invested with multiple managers through funds or managed accounts. The strategy accesses a diversified pool of managers with the objective of lowering the risk of investing in one single manager. The fund of funds manager has discretion in choosing which strategies and managers to invest in the fund.

Fund strategies include, but are not limited to: convertible arbitrage, distressed securities, emerging markets, equity hedge, equity market neutral, statistical arbitrage, event driven, macro, market timing, merger and risk arbitrage, relative value, short selling and sector funds.

HFRI Macro: equally weighted index of investment managers which trade a broad range of strategies in which the investment process is predicated on movements in underlying economic variables and theimpact these have on equity, fixed income, hard currency and commodity markets. Managers employ a variety of techniques, bothdiscretionary and systematic analysis, combinations of top down and bottom up theses, quantitative and fundamental approaches and long-and short-term holding periods.

HFRI Relative Value: equally weighted index of investment managers who maintain positions in which the investment thesis is predicated on realization of a valuation discrepancy in the relationship between multiple securities. Managers employ a variety of fundamental and quantitative techniques to establish investment theses, and security types range broadly across equity, fixed income, derivative or other security types.
