Dear Investor,
The purpose of this supplement is to update certain information for series (each, a "fund") of PACE Select Advisors Trust (the "Trust").
First, the purpose of this supplement is to update certain information regarding the portfolio management team of Polen Capital Management, LLC, a subadvisor to PACE®​ Large Co Growth Equity Investments, a series of the Trust.
Second, this supplement updates certain information regarding the investment advisory arrangements for PACE®​ International Equity Investments, a series of the Trust. Los Angeles Capital Management LLC ("Los Angeles Capital") has been a subadvisor to the fund since September 2013. Los Angeles Capital entered into a transaction (the "Transaction") to offer new equity interests in the firm to its employees. Upon consummation of the Transaction on January 1, 2024, the ownership of Hal Reynolds, a founder and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Los Angeles Capital and a portfolio manager for the fund, fell below 25% of the firm's voting equity.
In anticipation of the Transaction, and at the recommendation of UBS AM, the Board had approved a new sub-advisory agreement with Los Angeles Capital that became effective upon the consummation of the Transaction. Accordingly, effective as of the close of business on January 1, 2024, Los Angeles Capital continues to manage an allocated portion of the fund. The terms of the new sub-advisory agreement with Los Angeles Capital are substantially identical to those of the former sub-advisory agreement with Los Angeles Capital. No material changes are expected to occur with respect to the management of Los Angeles Capital's allocated portion of the fund.
