The same section of each Prospectus is revised by replacing the fourth paragraph of that section and the bullet points thereunder with the following:

UBS AM, Allspring, Aviva, PCJ, Kettle Hill, DLD, Magnetar, Electron and FAM employ the following portfolio management strategies:

• Opportunistic Strategy (UBS AM);

• Long/Short Global Equity Strategy (Allspring);

• Global Unconstrained Multi-Strategy Approach (Aviva);

• Absolute Return Equity Market Neutral Strategy (PCJ);

• Long/Short US Small Cap Equity Strategy (Kettle Hill);

• Relative Value Strategy (DLD);

• Merger Arbitrage Strategy (Magnetar);

• Long/Short Global Equity Strategy (Electron); and

• Diversified Macro Strategy (FAM).

The same section of each Prospectus is revised by adding the following immediately prior to the last paragraph of that section:

In managing its segment of the fund's assets, FAM seeks to generate absolute returns in all market conditions over rolling five-year periods, with low sensitivity to stocks and bonds. FAM's strategy is implemented by investing globally either directly, or through derivatives, in a broad range of instruments, including, but not limited to, equity, fixed income, currency, commodity, credit derivative and cash instruments (including U.S. treasury bills). Derivatives, including futures, forwards, options and swaps, are utilized for investment and for hedging purposes.

FAM's investment approach is driven by the following principles:

• Guided by theory-FAM follows a disciplined and repeatable investment process to translate insights from economic and financial theory into real-world investment strategies.

• Backed by empirical evidence-FAM's investment process builds on the principles of modern finance: diversification, understanding the sources of risk and return, and examination of market anomalies. FAM believes that efficient information processing and a scientific approach, combined with careful risk management, can produce superior investment outcomes.

• Unconstrained by traditional benchmarks-FAM's unconstrained investment approach allows it to think innovatively about achieving its clients' objectives by investing across time horizons, asset classes and regions.

The strategy consists of three proprietary and complementary sub-strategies combining discretionary and systematic inputs. The sub-strategies are Dynamic Asset Allocation, Discretionary Macro and Diversifying Strategies, and described in more detail below.

Dynamic Asset Allocation (DAA)-medium-term directional views across global equities, commodities and bonds, based on its reading of the macroeconomic environment, expected asset class returns and the correlations between assets. Over the long term, 30%-40% of FAM's allocated portion of the fund's portfolio is expected to be allocated to the DAA sub-strategy. FAM also applies an option-based overlay to protect against large losses and achieve a more stable risk profile over time.


4

Discretionary Macro (DM)-shorter term trading of opportunities that arise from large macroeconomic shocks, abrupt policy shifts, or changes in liquidity and investor sentiment. Over the long term, 50% of FAM's allocated portion of the fund's portfolio is expected to be allocated to the DM sub-strategy.

Diversifying Strategies (DS)-medium-term trend following trading technical signals on over 170 markets. Over the long term, 10% of FAM's allocated portion of the fund's portfolio is expected to be allocated to the DS sub-strategy.

The combination of the three sub-strategies, together with a strict application of risk management and portfolio construction, give rise to the Diversified Absolute Return Strategy.

FAM's investment process integrates material ESG considerations into the research process for certain portfolio investments and portfolio holdings for which ESG data is available. ESG integration is driven by taking into account material sustainability and/or ESG risks which could impact investment returns, rather than being driven by specific ethical principles or norms. FAM utilizes data from third-party ESG research providers to assess sustainability and/or ESG risks. ESG data and research can be inaccurate, based on limited inputs and subjective and thus presents risks. FAM's portfolio managers may still invest in securities which present sustainability and/or ESG risks, including where the portfolio managers believe the potential compensation outweighs the risks identified.

The section captioned "Management" and sub-captioned "PACE Alternative Strategies Investments" beginning on page 164 of the Multi-Class Prospectus, on page 165 of the Class P Prospectus and on page 155 of the Class P2 Prospectus is revised by replacing the second sentence of the first paragraph of that section with the following:

("PCJ"), Kettle Hill Capital Management, LLC ("Kettle Hill"), DLD Asset Management, LP ("DLD"), Magnetar Asset Management LLC ("Magnetar"), Electron Capital Partners, LLC ("Electron") and Fulcrum Asset Management LLP ("FAM") serve as subadvisors for PACE Alternative Strategies Investments.

Gavyn Davies, Suhail Shaikh, CFA and Andrew Bevan, PhD are jointly responsible for the day-to-day management of the portion of the fund's portfolio allocated to FAM.

The same section of the SAI is revised by inserting the following as the final sub-section of that section:

Fulcrum Asset Management LLP. FAM aims to act in the best interests of all stakeholders by engaging with the companies it invests in, and by exercising its voting rights with care in order to manage, acquire and dispose of account assets. FAM will vote proxies in a prudent and diligent manner and in the best interests of its clients, consistent with the objective of maximizing long-term investment returns and protecting shareholder rights. Not only is this commensurate with good market practice, it goes hand in hand with ensuring the responsible investment of FAM's clients' funds. FAM has appointed Glass Lewis, a leading independent corporate governance research provider, to analyze corporate actions, management recommendations and make vote recommendations in order to assist FAM in the independent assessment of governance issues. FAM's management body has


6

established a Responsible Investment Committee and a Stewardship Committee with the aim of strengthening internal communications on stewardship issues. Both committees comprise members of the risk, investment management, and compliance departments and FAM's Governance and Sustainability Officer. The common membership of both committees ensures consistency in FAM's stewardship and responsible investing approach (which includes considering environmental, social and governance issues).

Proxy Voting Procedure: FAM uses Glass Lewis's platform for proxy voting. All the voting recommendations relevant to FAM's clients and funds are through this platform. FAM uses Glass Lewis's "Climate Policy" for proxy voting guidance, to ensure a stronger stance with regards to sustainability matters is reflected as FAM's default choice. FAM will vote in line with these independent research recommendations unless it chooses to override them based on its own analysis. Informed by guidance from the UK Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association, FAM prioritizes analysis on proxy votes by using the controversy alert systems provided by Glass Lewis as well as reviewing for votes relating to climate change or the environment, shareholder proposals and stocks that form a high weighting in their client portfolios. FAM maintains a record of all proxy voting decisions for a period of seven years.

Potential conflicts of interest. As a general matter, certain conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the portfolio managers' management of a fund's investments, on the one hand, and the investments of other accounts for which an investment committee member is responsible, on the other hand. For example, it is possible that the various accounts managed could have different investment strategies that, at times, might conflict with one another to the possible detriment of the fund. Alternatively, to the extent that the same investment opportunities might be desirable for more than one account, possible conflicts could arise in determining how to allocate them. Other


7

potential conflicts might include conflicts created by specific portfolio managers' compensation arrangements, and conflicts relating to selection of brokers or dealers to execute the fund's portfolio trades and/or specific uses of commissions from the fund's portfolio trades (for example, research, or "soft dollars", if any). FAM has adopted policies and procedures and has structured the portfolio managers' compensation in a manner reasonably designed to safeguard the fund from being negatively affected as a result of any such potential conflicts.

Compensation. The portfolio managers are compensated based on a salary and discretionary annual bonus. The latter is based on performance of FAM and the individual over the previous calendar year. Annual reviews and business plans are prepared for each business unit and individual goals. Success against these business plans and individual goals are evaluated as part of the review process. This is an important determinant of year-end compensation.

Ownership of fund shares. As of May 31, 2024, the portfolio managers did not own shares of the fund.

PLEASE BE SURE TO RETAIN THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
