Understanding a Master Funds expenses (unaudited)
(Note: The expense information provided in this section is relevant for direct investors in the Master Funds. Investors in the related feeder funds should instead focus on separate expense examples relevant to the particular feeder funds; the expense examples for the feeder funds will reflect their proportionate share of the corresponding Master Funds expenses.)
As an owner of a Master Fund, an investor such as a feeder fund incurs ongoing costs, including management fees and other Master Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand a Master Fund investors ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Master Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024.
Actual expenses
The first line in the table below for each Master 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 Master Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Master Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Master Funds actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate your actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Master Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples 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. Therefore, the second line in the table for each Master Fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, if those other funds impose transactional costsfor example, exchange fees. In addition, if those transactional costs were included, your costs for those other funds would have been higher.

Master Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Organization and significant accounting policies
Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund (each a Master Fund, collectively, the Master Funds) are each registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), as a diversified series of Master Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 12, 2007. The Trust is a series mutual fund with five series.
Treasury Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund commenced operations on August 28, 2007. Prime CNAV Master Fund commenced operations on January 19, 2016, Government Master Fund commenced operations on June 24, 2016, and 100% US Treasury Master Fund commenced operations on March 13, 2024.
UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (UBS AM) (formerly, UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc.) is the investment advisor and administrator for the Master Funds. UBS AM is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of UBS Group AG. UBS Group AG is an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. UBS Group AG operates in many areas of the financial services industry.
Master 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.
Each Master Fund may issue any number of interests and each interest shall have a par value of $0.001 per interest. The interests of a Master Fund shall represent a proportional beneficial interest in the net assets belonging to that series. Each holder of interests of a Master Fund shall be entitled to receive his or her pro rata share of all distributions made with respect to such Master Fund according to the investors ownership percentage of such Master Fund on the record date established for payment. Upon redemption of interests, an investor shall be paid solely out of the assets and property of such Master Fund. Beneficial interests in the Trust are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since such interests are issued in private placement transactions.
In the normal course of business, the Master Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Master Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Master Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Master Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
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 SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Master 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:
Valuation of investments
Under Rule 2a-7, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund have adopted certain policies that enable them to use the amortized cost method of valuation. Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund, have adopted a policy to operate as government money market funds. Under Rule 2a-7, a government money market fund invests 99.5% or more of its total assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully (i.e., collateralized by cash and/or government securities). Prime CNAV Master Fund and
35
Master Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Tax-Free Master Fund operate as retail money market funds. Under Rule 2a-7, a retail money market fund is a money market fund that has policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the fund to natural persons. As government money market funds and as retail money market funds, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund value their investments at amortized cost unless UBS AM, as the valuation designee appointed by Master Trusts Board of Trustees (the Board) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, determines that this does not represent fair value. Periodic review and monitoring of the valuation of securities held by Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund, Prime CNAV Master Fund, and Tax-Free Master Fund is performed in an effort to ensure that amortized cost approximates market value.
The Board has designated UBS AM as the valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act and delegated to UBS AM the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to portfolio holdings. UBS AM, as the valuation designee, is responsible for periodically assessing any material risks associated with the determination of the fair value of investments; establishing and applying fair value methodologies; testing the appropriateness of fair value methodologies; and overseeing and evaluating third-party pricing services. UBS AM has the Equities, Fixed Income, and Multi-Asset Valuation Committee (the VC) to assist with its designated responsibilities as valuation designee with respect to the Master Funds portfolios of investments. The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: investments of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; fixed-income investments that have gone into default and for which there is no current market value quotation; Section 4(a)(2) commercial paper; investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale; illiquid investments; and investments for which the prices or values available do not, in the judgment of the VC, represent current market value. The need to fair value a Master Funds portfolio of investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded investments. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of an investments 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 investments are purchased and sold.
Each Master Funds portfolio holdings may also consist of shares of other investment companies in which the Master Fund invests. The value of each such open-end investment company will generally be its net asset value at the time a Master Funds beneficial interests are priced. Pursuant to each Master Funds use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies and/or investments in investment companies without publicly published prices are also valued at the daily net asset value. Each investment company generally values investments in a manner as described in that investment companys prospectus or similar documents.
US GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of each Master Funds investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.
Level 3Unobservable inputs inclusive of each Master Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
A fair value hierarchy table has been included near the end of each Master Funds Portfolio of investments.
Liquidity feeConsistent with Rule 2a-7, the Board is permitted to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions from each of Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund under certain circumstances. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount an interest holder receives upon redemption of its beneficial interests. Prime CNAV Master Fund
36
Master Trust
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
and Tax-Free Master Fund retains the liquidity fees for the benefit of its remaining interest holders. For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Board of Prime CNAV Master Fund and Tax-Free Master Fund did not impose any liquidity fees.
By operating as government money market funds, Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund are exempt from requirements that permit the imposition of a liquidity fee. While the Board may elect to subject Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund and 100% US Treasury Master Fund to liquidity fee requirements in the future, the Board has not elected to do so at this time.
Repurchase agreementsThe Master Funds may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate), subject to the sellers agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Master Funds maintain custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through their regular custodian or through a special tri-party custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate account for both the Master Funds and their counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued daily in an effort to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including a possible decline in the market value of the underlying obligations. If their value becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon repurchase of the obligations and the price that was paid by a fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Master 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, equities and mortgage loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of counterparty insolvency. Moreover, repurchase agreements secured by obligations that are not eligible for direct investment under Rule 2a-7 or a funds investment strategies and limitations may require the Master Fund to promptly dispose of such collateral if the seller or guarantor becomes insolvent. If the seller (or sellers guarantor, if any) becomes insolvent, the Master Funds 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. Each Master Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only in transactions with counterparties believed by UBS AM to present minimal credit risk.
The Master Funds may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed or advised by UBS AM. Government Master Fund, Treasury Master Fund, 100% US Treasury Master Fund and Prime CNAV Master Fund may engage in repurchase agreements as part of normal investing strategies; Tax-Free Master Fund generally would only engage in repurchase agreement transactions as temporary or defensive investments.
Under certain circumstances, a Master 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 Master Fund potentially exposed to a fee for uninvested cash held in a business account at a bank.
Investment transactions and investment incomeInvestment 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. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.
Concentration of riskThe ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Master Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic, political and other developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Deferred offering costsOffering costs consist primarily of legal fees and other costs incurred with organizing and registering a fund. With respect to 100% US Treasury Master Fund, deferred offering costs are amortized over a period of 12 months.
Investment advisor and administrator
UBS AM serves as the investment advisor and administrator to each Master Fund pursuant to an investment advisory and administration contract (Management Contract) approved by the Board. In accordance with the Management Contract, each Master Fund pays UBS AM an investment advisory and administration fee (management fee), which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the below annual rates, as a percentage of each Master Funds average daily net assets:
Average daily net assets | Annual rate | |||
Up to $30 billion | 0.1000 | % | ||
In excess of $30 billion up to $40 billion | 0.0975 | |||
In excess of $40 billion up to $50 billion | 0.0950 | |||
In excess of $50 billion up to $60 billion | 0.0925 | |||
Over $60 billion | 0.0900 |
At October 31, 2024, the Master Fund owed UBS AM for investment advisory and administration services, net of waivers (if any), as follows:
Fund | Net amount owed to UBS AM | |||
Government Master Fund | $ | 2,307,387 | ||
Treasury Master Fund | 3,621,284 | |||
100% US Treasury Master Fund | 563,003 | |||
Prime CNAV Master Fund | 2,036,055 | |||
Tax-Free Master Fund | 79,067 |
In exchange for these fees, for each Master Fund except 100% US Treasury Master Fund, UBS AM has agreed to bear all of the Master Funds expenses other than interest (except interest on borrowings), taxes, extraordinary costs and the cost of securities purchased and sold by such Master Funds, including any transaction costs. Although UBS AM is not obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such Master Funds independent trustees, it is contractually obligated to reduce its management fee in an amount equal to those fees and expenses. UBS AM estimates that these fees and expenses will be less than 0.01% of each Master Funds average daily net assets.
With respect to 100% US Treasury Master Fund, such Master Fund will bear all expenses not specifically assumed by UBS AM incurred in its operations and the offering of its shares. UBS AM has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses so that this Master Funds ordinary total operating expenses through August 31, 2025 (excluding, as applicable, (i) dividend expense, borrowing costs, and interest expense relating to short sales and (ii) investments in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses related to interestholders meetings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.10%. The contractual fee waiver agreement also provides that UBS AM is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses to the extent such reimbursement can be made during the three years following the period during which such fee waivers and expense reimbursements were made, provided that the reimbursement of UBS AM by 100% US Treasury Master Fund will not cause such Master Fund to exceed the lesser of any applicable expense limit that is in place for such Master Fund (i) at the time of the waiver or reimbursement or (ii) at the time of the recoupment. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Trusts board at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of such Master Funds management contract with UBS AM.

Federal tax status
Each Master Fund is considered a non-publicly traded partnership for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, no federal tax provision is necessary. As such, each investor in a Master Fund is treated as owning its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Master Fund. UBS AM intends that each Master Funds assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that an investor in a Master Fund will be able to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by investing its net assets through the Master Fund.
Aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same for book purposes.
ASC 740-10 Income TaxesOverall sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Master Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded, as of October 31, 2024, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Master Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period ended October 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the four year period ended April 30, 2024 and since inception for 100% US Treasury Master Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Reorganization of Fund
Following the close of business on August 23, 2024, the Target Fund reorganized into the existing Destination Fund within the Trust. The reorganization into the existing Destination Fund was as follows:
Target Fund | Destination Fund | |||
Prime Master Fund | Prime CNAV Master Fund |
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Target Fund transferred all of its property and assets to the Destination Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to respond to regulatory changes. In exchange, the applicable Destination Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the applicable Target Fund and issued interest(s) to the Target Fund, as described below. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of an interest(s) of the Target Fund for an interest(s) of the Destination Fund outstanding following the close of business on August 23, 2024. The allocated cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the related feeder funds allocated realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to feeder fund shareholders for tax purposes.
Target Fund | Destination Fund |
Dollar Amount |
||||||
Prime Master Fund | Prime CNAV Master Fund | $ | 8,370,789,961 |
The net assets of the Target Fund, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), were combined with those of the Destination Fund. These amounts were as follows:

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.
BackgroundAt a meeting of the board of Master Trust (the Trust) on July 25-26, 2024, the members of the board, including the trustees who are not interested persons, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), of the Trust (the Independent Trustees), considered and approved the continuance of the management contract (the Management Contract) between UBS Asset Management (Americas) LLC (UBS AM) and the Trust, with respect to Government Master Fund (Government Master), Prime CNAV Master Fund (Prime CNAV Master), Prime Master Fund (Prime Master), Treasury Master Fund (Treasury Master) and Tax-Free Master Fund (Tax-Free Master and, collectively with Government Master, Prime CNAV Master, Prime Master and Treasury Master, each a Master Fund and collectively the Master Funds). In preparing for the meeting, the Independent Trustees had requested and received extensive information from UBS AM to assist them, including information about UBS AM, as well as the advisory, administrative and distribution arrangements for the Master Funds. The board reviewed and discussed with management the materials provided by UBS AM prior to the scheduled board meeting. The Independent Trustees also met in executive session to review the disclosure that had been made to them. At these sessions the Independent Trustees were joined by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees also received a
memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering the approval of advisory and administration agreements.
In its consideration of the approval of the Management Contract, the board reviewed the following factors:
Nature, extent and quality of the services under the Management ContractThe board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of management services provided to the Master Funds by UBS AM under the Management Contract. The board also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by UBS AM and its affiliates for the Master Funds and the corresponding SEC-registered feeder funds that invest in the Master Funds (the Feeder Funds). The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS AM concerning the management of each Master Funds and Feeder Funds affairs and UBS AMs role in coordinating and overseeing providers of other services to the Master Funds and the Feeder Funds. The boards evaluation of the services provided by UBS AM took into account the boards knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS AMs investment advisory and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Master Funds and the Feeder Funds expanded compliance programs.
The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the senior personnel at UBS AM responsible for the Master Funds and the Feeder Funds and had previously met with and received information regarding the persons primarily responsible for their day-to-day management. The board recognized that several senior personnel at UBS AM report to the board regularly and that at each regular meeting the board receives a detailed report from UBS AM on each Master Funds and corresponding Feeder Funds performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS AM and its parent organization, UBS Group AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It also was noted that UBS AM had approximately $395 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2024 and was part of the UBS Asset Management Division, which had approximately $1.2 trillion in assets under management worldwide as of March 31, 2024. The board also was cognizant of, and considered, the financial combination transactions, regulatory and litigation actions and investigations occurring in the past few years involving UBS Group AG, UBS AM and certain of their affiliates.
The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) under the Management Contract.
Management fees and expense ratiosIn conducting its review, the board noted that under the master-feeder structure, each Master Fund pays an investment advisory and administration fee (the Contractual Management Fee) to UBS AM, and, in turn, each Feeder Fund bears its corresponding Master Funds expenses in proportion to its investment in its corresponding Master Fund. Therefore, in making its determination regarding each Master Funds fees, the board assessed (i) each Master Funds Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee (defined below) and overall expenses, (ii) each Feeder Funds portion of its Master Funds Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee (defined below), and (iii) each Feeder Funds overall expenses.
In addition to reviewing each Feeder Funds portion of its corresponding Master Funds Contractual Management Fee, the board also reviewed and considered any fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers and/or reimbursements into account) (the Actual Management Fee). The board noted that management proposed to extend the contractual fee waiver arrangements in place for the Select Prime Preferred Feeder Fund, Prime Preferred Feeder Fund, Tax-Free Preferred Feeder Fund, Select Treasury Preferred Feeder Fund, and Select Government Preferred Feeder Fund through August 31, 2025.
The board also received and considered information comparing each Master Funds Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and overall expenses and each Feeder Funds portion of its corresponding Master Funds Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee and each Feeder Funds total expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Broadridge (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data (the Expense Group). With respect to RMA Government Money Market Feeder Fund, the board also received from Broadridge comparative data on a supplemental expense group of funds selected based on their utilization as account sweep funds (the Supplemental Expense Group).
In connection with its consideration of the management fees, the board also received information from UBS AM with respect to fees paid by institutional or separate accounts; however, in managements view, such fee information was not very relevant to the Master Funds because, among other reasons, separately managed and institutional accounts with a cash mandate (a) were not subject to all of the constraints of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act to which the Master Funds are subject and (b) do not involve the management responsibilities attendant to the operation of a 1940 Act regulated fund, and, therefore, were not totally comparable. The board also received information on fees charged to other mutual funds managed by UBS AM.
Government Master
Select Government Institutional Feeder Fund, Select Government Preferred Feeder Fund and RMA Government Money Market Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that, with the exception of the RMA Government Money Market Feeder Funds total expenses, the Government Master Funds Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were all at or below its corresponding Expense Group median with the related Feeder Funds fees taken into account.
Prime CNAV Master
Prime Reserves Feeder Fund and Prime Preferred Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that, with the exception of the Prime Reserves Feeder Funds Actual Management Fee, the Prime CNAV Master Funds Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were all below its corresponding Expense Group median with the related Feeder Funds fees taken into account.
Prime Master
Select Prime Preferred Feeder Fund and Select Prime Institutional Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that, with the exception of the Select Prime Institutional Feeder Funds Actual Management Fee, the Prime Master Funds Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were all below its corresponding Expense Group median with the Feeder Funds fees taken into account.
Treasury Master
Select Treasury Institutional Feeder Fund and Select Treasury Preferred Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that, with the exception of the Select Treasury Institutional Feeder Funds Actual Management Fee, the Treasury Master Funds Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were all at or below its corresponding Expense Group median with the related Feeder Funds fees taken into account.
Tax-Free Master
Tax-Free Reserves Feeder Fund and Tax-Free Preferred Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that, with the exception of the Tax-Free Reserves Feeder Funds Actual Management Fee, the Tax-Free Master Funds Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and total expenses were all below its corresponding Expense Group median with the related Feeder Funds fees taken into account.
In light of the foregoing, the board determined that the management fees for each of Government Master, Prime CNAV Master, Prime Master, Treasury Master and Tax-Free Master continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Master Fund under the Management Contract.
Fund performanceIn considering each Master Funds performance, the board received and considered (a) annualized total return information of each Feeder Fund compared to other funds (the Performance Universe) selected by Broadridge over the one-, three-, five- and ten-year (or shorter) periods, as applicable to a Feeder Fund, and since inception, in each case ended April 30, 2024 and (b) annualized performance information for each year in the ten-year (or shorter) period ended April 30, 2024. Although the board received information for the ten-year period and since inception, in its analysis, it generally placed greater emphasis on the one-, three- and five-year periods. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to determine the similarity of each Feeder Fund with the funds included in its Performance Universe. The board noted that each Feeder Funds performance is correlated with its corresponding Master Funds performance, with the only difference being the administrative, distribution and/or shareholder service fees or other expenses paid at the Feeder Fund level.
Government Master
Select Government Institutional Feeder Fund, Select Government Preferred Feeder Fund and RMA Government Money Market Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that the performance of each Feeder Fund was above its corresponding Performance Universe median for the one-, three- and five-year periods and since inception, with the only exceptions being the one-, three- and five-year periods for RMA Government Money Market Feeder Fund, which were only slightly below such median.
Prime CNAV Master
Prime Reserves Feeder Fund and Prime Preferred Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that the performance of each Feeder Fund was above its corresponding Performance Universe median for the one-, three- and five-year periods and since inception.
Prime Master
Select Prime Preferred Feeder Fund and Select Prime Institutional Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that the performance of the Feeder Fund was above its corresponding Performance Universe median for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods and since inception.
Treasury Master
Select Treasury Institutional Feeder Fund and Select Treasury Preferred Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that the performance of each Feeder Fund was above its corresponding Performance Universe median for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods and since inception.
Tax-Free Master
Tax-Free Reserves Feeder Fund and Tax-Free Preferred Feeder Fund
The comparative Broadridge information showed that the performance of the Tax-Free Reserves Feeder Fund and the Tax-Free Preferred Feeder Fund was above its corresponding Performance Universe median for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods and since inception.
For periods in which a Master Funds performance was below median, UBS AM representatives explained, in a satisfactory manner, the reasons for the relative under-performance. Based on its review, the board concluded that each Master Funds investment performance was acceptable under the circumstances.
Advisor profitabilityThe board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Master Funds and the Feeder Funds and was provided information on UBS AMs expense allocation methodology. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS New York fund complex as a whole. The board observed that the profitability and expense analyses are substantially similar to those used by UBS AM for many internal purposes and are subject to regular review with respect to how certain revenue and expenses should be allocated. UBS AMs profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Master Funds and the Feeder Funds.
Economies of scaleThe board received and considered information from management regarding whether UBS AM realized economies of scale as the Master Funds assets grew, whether the Master Funds have appropriately benefited from any material unshared economies of scale over time, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale for the Master Funds. The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Master Funds were being passed along to the Feeder Funds shareholders.
The board noted that although each Master Funds Contractual Management Fee contained breakpoints at higher asset levels, economies of scale might inure more to UBS AM because UBS AM paid most of each Master Funds non-management operating expenses under the unitary fee structure. Overall, the board considered the sharing of economies of scale with the shareholders of the Feeder Funds acceptable.
Other benefits to UBS AMThe board considered other benefits received by UBS AM and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Master Funds and the Feeder Funds, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to the Feeder Funds shareholders and to others. In light of the costs of providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Master Funds,
the costs of providing administrative services to the Feeder Funds and UBS AMs ongoing commitment to the Master Funds and the Feeder Funds, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.
In light of all of the foregoing, the board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Management Contract. No single factor reviewed by the board was identified by the board as the principal factor in determining whether to approve the Management Contract. The Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Management Contract in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS AM were present.
