How to determine which sweep option(s) is (are) available to you:
Clients who are eligible to participate ("Eligible Participants") in the UBS Financial Services Inc. Deposit Account Sweep Program will have their available cash swept into a UBS Bank USA (Member FDIC) (the "Bank") deposit account (see Table 1 above) without limit unless they choose (a) one of the tax-exempt money market funds offered by UBS Financial Services Inc. for that purpose (each, a "Tax-Exempt Sweep Fund") (see Table 2 above) or (b) a cap (please see paragraph 2 for more information).1
Eligible Participants whose available cash is swept into the Bank may choose to cap the amount of cash swept into the Bank deposit accounts ($100,000 or more for individual accounts, $200,000 or more for joint accounts) on a per-account basis. For those Eligible Participants who choose a cap, amounts in excess of the cap will be swept into a secondary money market fund ("Secondary Sweep Fund") that the client chooses (See Table 3 above).2
Clients who are ineligible for the Deposit Account Sweep Program may choose a Tax-Exempt Sweep Fund or a taxable money market fund as their primary sweep option (see Table 3 above).1 For more detailed information on the operation of the UBS Financial Services Inc. Deposit Account Sweep Program, please see Important Disclosures.
Definition of Terms 7-Day Current Yield for Money Market Funds — 7-Day Current Yield is based on a recently ended seven-day period. It is computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the period. Then subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from that shareholder account. Then dividing the difference by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return and then multiplying the base period return by (365/7), with the resulting yield figure carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent.
Annual Percentage Yield (APY) — APY measures the total amount of interest paid on an account based on the interest rate and the frequency of compounding. The annual percentage yield is expressed as an annualized rate, based on a 365- or 366-day year (as applicable).
Eligible Participants — "Eligible Participants" means individuals, sole proprietors and governmental agencies. Custodial accounts are also Eligible Participants if each beneficiary is an Eligible Participant. See Important Disclosures for more information.
Tier — A client's tier is determined by the value of a client's eligible Marketing Relationship assets, which is generally calculated at each calendar month-end. This valuation is then used to set the client's interest rate tier level for the interest period beginning five business days prior to the following month-end. For more tier and Marketing Relationship information, please see Important Disclosures.
