Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Period in Review
Stocks and risk assets continued their march higher during fiscal 2017 as most equity indices set new highs. The S&P 500® Index gained 23.63%, the Russell Midcap® rose 21.09% and the MSCI EAFE® Index (net) advanced 23.44% over the last twelve months. Interest rates across the maturity spectrum rose, leading to mostly flat returns as declining bond prices offset collected income. The Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Index® advanced 0.60% and the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index® gained 0.90% for the year.
Economic data improved in the calendar third-quarter as manufacturing strengthened, employment continued to improve and housing stabilized. Gains in employment showed an average of 148,000 jobs added in each of the last twelve months (through October) resulting in a 4.1% unemployment rate. While hourly wages were only up a modest 2.9% from a year ago, consumer confidence increased to its highest level since 2000. Second-quarter GDP growth was also revised upward to 3.1% (previously reported at 2.6%) partially driven by increased consumer spending, and the initial third-quarter GDP report showed a 3.0% annualized advance from the second-quarter. While hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria may have pruned third-quarter growth, it is likely that the rebuilding effort may boost consumption over the next several quarters. Importantly, earnings growth has been impressive, with earnings per share growing approximately 10% in the latest quarter compared to a year ago. This also marks the second consecutive quarter of double-digit earnings growth following a two-year stall, and may be supportive of increased business spending in 2018.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve (Fed) held short-term interest rates steady in September (at 1.00-1.25%) and, as expected, announced that the long-anticipated reduction of its $4.5 trillion balance sheet would begin in October. The Fed had indicated for some time that it would begin reducing the portfolio of bonds it accumulated since the 2008 financial crisis. The Fed further indicated it was on track for another quarter-point increase in December, and the Fed’s so-called “dot plot” indicated the potential for three more hikes in 2018. However, the Fed Funds futures contract, which has been more successful than the Fed itself at predicting interest-rate changes, is pricing far fewer rate increases over the next year. As we’ve expressed before, the net impact of aggressive monetary policy (low interest rates) has been elevated asset prices and we expect that, as interest rates increase, so will volatility in the capital markets.
Indeed, the resilience of the capital markets has been impressive, with 2017 recording the lowest level of volatility (daily moves of greater than 0.5%) in the equity market since 1965. The bull market is now the second longest on record as investors have seen their stocks more than triple since the depths of the financial crisis. This creates concerns about the imminent end of this great bull market run. High valuations, along with a rising short-term interest rate backdrop, suggest higher risk of a pull-back or correction. However, it should be pointed out that a correction is quite different than the prolonged market decline referred to as a “bear market.” Market corrections happen frequently, then have a way of bouncing back as long as the economy continues to grow. In fact, it’s worth reminding ourselves that, during the past several years, the S&P 500 Index suffered a number of pull-backs: a decline of 7% in 2014, a sell-off of 12% in August of 2015 and a decline of 11% in early 2016. The key distinction between a short-term correction and a prolonged bear market is tied to the sustainability of economic growth.
Global growth has been slow to accelerate to anticipated levels, though not surprisingly as the lingering effects of the financial crisis have been difficult to break. Despite recent vigor, yearly GDP growth in the U.S. continues to plod around a 2% central tendency. Growth in the rest of the world has tended to lag, but now seems to be on firmer footing. We expect global monetary policies to follow the U.S. lead, with the European Central Bank (ECB) likely to begin its own reversal of Quantitative Easing (QE) policies and move toward monetary restraint. Labor reforms in France and fiscal stimulus in Japan also look more likely. In the U.S., hurricane relief spending and the potential for modest tax reform measures could lift fiscal spending at home. This bodes well for continued global growth.
Geopolitical risks remain high and represent potential headwinds to growth and asset values. Most notably, the situation with North Korea remains tense. In the near-term, it seems that this risk has plateaued – perhaps an indication that back channel communications have developed, or the simple acceptance that deterrence with a nuclear armed North Korea has emerged. Regardless, markets have chosen to fade these day-to-day headlines for now.
Despite increasing over the last year, interest rates generally remain low by historical standards in the U.S., but relatively attractive compared to continued low levels in most developed countries. Our outlook for interest rates remains a cautious one as the Fed will continue to exert upward pressure on short-term yields while long-term yields will be driven largely by evolving inflation conditions. So far, cyclical inflation pressures have been modest in spite of steady, but uninspiring, economic growth. Wage pressures have remained contained even though the unemployment rate is quite low and anecdotal evidence of hiring difficulties among employers abounds. We expect that inflation will continue its gradual creep upwards, leading to persistent upward pressure on long-term yields.
By most measures, stock market valuations appear stretched, yet a catalyst for a correction has yet to emerge. Even at modestly elevated levels, short-term interest rates remain accommodative and liquidity remains abundant. As we look forward, it is likely that the low levels of volatility in the market won’t persist. Elevated stock valuations, high investor optimism, rising geopolitical tensions and uncertain policy from Washington create a recipe for higher volatility in the future. Although lofty valuations (along with stock prices) may continue longer than justified, we believe investors should prepare for more modest returns going forward. With this backdrop we continue to believe stocks of lower-risk, higher-quality companies, along with shorter-duration, higher-quality bonds will allow investors to participate in the market, while providing some shelter should volatility return to more typical levels.
Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2017
The Madison Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation and Aggressive Allocation Funds invest primarily in shares of registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The funds are diversified among a number of asset classes and their allocation among Underlying Funds are based on an asset allocation model developed by Madison Asset Management, LLC (“Madison”), the funds’ investment adviser. The team may use multiple analytical approaches to determine the appropriate asset allocation, including:
• | | Asset allocation optimization analysis – considers the degree to which returns in different asset classes do or do not move together, and the funds’ aim to achieve a favorable overall risk profile for any targeted portfolio return. |
• | | Scenario analysis – historical and expected return data is analyzed to model how individual asset classes and combinations of asset classes would affect the funds under different economic and market conditions. |
• | | Fundamental analysis – draws upon Madison’s investment teams to judge each asset class against current and forecasted market conditions. Economic, industry and security analysis is used to develop return and risk expectations that may influence asset class selection. In addition, Madison has a flexible mandate which permits the funds, at the sole discretion of Madison, to materially reduce equity risk exposures when and if conditions are deemed to warrant such an action. |
MADISON CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
Under normal circumstances, the Madison Conservative Allocation Fund’s total net assets will be allocated among various asset classes and Underlying Funds, including those whose shares trade on a stock exchange (exchange traded funds or “ETFs”), with target allocations over time of approximately 35% equity investments and 65% fixed income investments. Underlying Funds in which the fund invests may include funds advised by Madison and/or its affiliates, including other Madison Funds (the “Affiliated Underlying Funds”). Generally, Madison will not invest more than 75% of the fund’s net assets, at the time of purchase, in Affiliated Underlying Funds.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison Conservative Allocation Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 8.25% for the one-year period, compared to its benchmark Conservative Allocation Fund Custom Index return of 8.51%. The fund underperformed its peers as measured by the Morningstar Conservative Allocation Category, which returned 9.36% for the year.
Fun fact: the S&P 500® Index has not recorded a negative monthly total return since the election of Donald Trump! That’s a perfect 12 for 12, and only the third time in history the index has gone 12 consecutive months with a positive return. The others occurred in 1935-1936 and 1949-1950. Given our conservative DNA, we are quite pleased with how well the fund kept pace over what has been a remarkable run in the global equity markets. Overall, the fund captured 97% of the benchmark’s return for the trailing year. A timely shift toward international equities in late 2016 served as the single biggest contributor to the fund’s ability to run with the benchmark. Other positives included relative overweight allocations to U.S. growth stocks and corporate bonds within the fund’s fixed income allocation. A modest underweight to equities overall, and an overweight allocation to U.S. mid cap stocks were the largest detractors from performance.
Years of consistently low U.S. inflation have provided our U.S. central bank (the Federal Reserve or the Fed) with the justification and conviction to provide massive levels of monetary stimulus. Importantly, this has been true in terms of both scale and longevity. The Fed’s primary goal since the 2007-09 global financial crisis has been to “reflate” and stimulate the real economy. In reality, the Fed has instead been more impactful at notably “inflating” the value of virtually all investment asset classes. The median U.S. stock, for example, is now trading near all-time record high valuation levels relative to both current and normalized long-term earnings. In our view, this level of valuation extreme is not justified given the elevated levels of uncertainty that both global economies (unprecedented debt levels) and established companies (pervasive disruption risk) are facing. Our perspective, then, is that today’s “concocted” increase in asset class valuations is not primarily based on prospects for improving economic fundamentals but rather the cumulative influence that pervasive liquidity and historically low interest rates have had on investor confidence and financial leverage.
Given this growing disconnect between tethered economic fundamentals and ebullient financial markets, we continue to exercise a good dose of caution and skepticism as we position portfolios. The market’s current, and seemingly gullible, “we’ll see it when we believe it” personality type is not particularly conducive for producing sustainable, repeatable and enduring long-term investment results.
Our defensively-oriented posture remains intact. Incremental allocations continue to focus on international equities. After years of relative weakness, we are also turning our attention to energy and commodities as a potential hunting ground for new ideas. We believe the global supply of oil, despite ongoing gains in fracking, will be curtailed due to sizable cutbacks in conventional exploration and development (such as offshore oil). Meanwhile, despite the growing excitement over Tesla and electric vehicles (EV) in general, poor EV ownership economics and highly limiting practicalities for broad-based EV usage implies that global demand for conventional oil is not likely to peak any time soon.
We are confident that the fund remains well-positioned for a growth-challenged global economy. We also understand and embrace our ongoing responsibility to insightfully differentiate between attractive and less attractive asset classes as we strive to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. As always, we sincerely appreciate your support.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison Aggressive Allocation Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 18.66% for the one-year period, compared to its benchmark Aggressive Allocation Fund Custom Index return of 19.02%. The fund outperformed its peers as measured by the Morningstar Aggressive Allocation category, which returned 16.88% for the period.
Fun fact: the S&P 500® Index has not recorded a negative monthly total return since the election of Donald Trump! That’s a perfect 12 for 12, and only the third time in history the index has gone 12 consecutive months with a positive return. The others occurred in 1935-1936 and 1949-1950. Given our conservative DNA, we are quite pleased with how well the fund kept pace over what has been a remarkable run in the global equity markets. Overall, the fund captured 98% of the benchmark’s return for the trailing year. A timely shift toward international equities in late 2016 served as the single biggest contributor to the fund’s ability to run with the benchmark. Other positives included relative overweight allocations to U.S. growth stocks and corporate bonds within the fund’s fixed income allocation. A modest underweight to equities overall, and an overweight allocation to U.S. mid cap stocks were the largest detractors from performance.
Years of consistently low U.S. inflation have provided our U.S. central bank (the Federal Reserve or the Fed) with the justification and conviction to provide massive levels of monetary stimulus. Importantly, this has been true in terms of both scale and longevity. The Fed’s primary goal since the 2007-09 global financial crisis, has been to “reflate” and stimulate the real economy. In reality, the Fed has instead been more impactful at notably “inflating” the value of virtually all investment asset classes. The median U.S. stock, for example, is now trading near all-time record high valuation levels relative to both current and normalized long-term earnings. In our view, this level of valuation extreme is not justified given the elevated levels of uncertainty that both global economies (unprecedented debt levels) and established companies (pervasive disruption risk) are facing. Our perspective, then, is that today’s “concocted” increase in asset class valuations is not primarily based on prospects for improving economic fundamentals but rather the cumulative influence that pervasive liquidity and historically low interest rates have had on investor confidence and financial leverage.
Given this growing disconnect between tethered economic fundamentals and ebullient financial markets, we continue to exercise a good dose of caution and skepticism as we position portfolios. The market’s current, and seemingly gullible, “we’ll see it when we believe it” personality type is not particularly conducive for producing sustainable, repeatable and enduring long-term investment results.
Our defensively-oriented posture remains intact. Incremental allocations continue to focus on international equities. After years of relative weakness, we are also turning our attention to energy and commodities as a potential hunting ground for new ideas. We believe the global supply of oil, despite ongoing gains in fracking, will be curtailed due to sizable cutbacks in conventional exploration and development (such as offshore oil). Meanwhile, despite the growing excitement over Tesla and electric vehicles (EV) in general, poor EV ownership economics and highly limiting practicalities for broad-based EV usage implies that global demand for conventional oil is not likely to peak any time soon.
We are confident that the fund remains well-positioned for a growth-challenged global economy. We also understand and embrace our ongoing responsibility to insightfully differentiate between attractive and less attractive asset classes as we strive to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. As always, we sincerely appreciate your support.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Government Money Market Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by cash or government securities, including but not limited to the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporate, and Federal Farm Credit Banks.
The fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value (“NAV”) of $1.00 per share. The fund’s investments must have a remaining maturity of no more than 397 days and must be high quality. The fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less.
Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison Government Money Market Fund - continued | October 31, 2017
The Madison Government Money Market Fund (Class A) returned 0.21% for the prior twelve months, compared to a 0.71% return on the fund’s Citigroup 90 day Treasury Bill Index benchmark. The Morningstar U.S. Fund Money Market - Taxable peer group returned 0.38% for the period.
The fund continues to make heavy use of the additional yields available in the Federal Agency discount note market, but maintains a shorter average maturity (around 40 days) than its benchmark. As the Federal Reserve continues to raise short-term interest rates, the shorter average maturity of the fund allows us to more quickly take advantage of increases in market yields. We expect the Fed to continue raising the Fed Funds Rate, and by extension driving money market yields higher, at upcoming meetings and throughout 2018. As such, the average maturity of the fund will, for the time being, remain shorter than its benchmark.

MADISON TAX-FREE VIRGINIA FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds that are exempt from federal and state income tax for residents of Virginia. These securities may be issued by state governments, their political subdivisions (for example, cities and counties) and public authorities (for example, school districts and housing authorities). The fund may also invest in bonds that, under federal law, are exempt from federal and state income taxation, such as bonds issued by the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. The fund invests in intermediate and long-term bonds having average, aggregate maturities (at the portfolio level) of 7 to 15 years.

The Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund (Class Y) returned 0.68% for the one-year period, underperforming the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-22 year Municipal Securities Index, which returned 1.96%. The Morningstar Municipal Single State Intermediate peer group gained 0.75% for the period.
The underperformance of the fund versus its benchmark was primarily attributable to the fund’s concentration in a single, high quality state and shorter maturity profile. The average duration (a measure of interest rate risk) of the Virginia Fund was 4.13 years versus 4.53 years for the benchmark. Specific to quality, performance was held back by a less-than-benchmark exposure to issuers rated A and BBB and more volatile sectors including toll roads and housing (all of which outperformed the benchmark). In terms of maturity positioning, the fund’s higher-than-benchmark exposure to 6 to 8 year maturities detracted from return, as did limited exposure to maturities longer than 10 years.
We believe the fund is positioned to generate favorable returns relative to the benchmark going forward. Should our expectation for higher interest rates materialize, we believe our preference for non-callable securities will be accretive to the fund’s performance given callable paper is more sensitive to interest rate movements. As well, a reversal of the significant year-to-date contraction of risk premiums ought to favor the fund’s higher quality issuers within sectors prone to less volatility such as essential service revenue bonds. When this happens, we anticipate our high quality bias will generate better performance than the benchmark’s greater relative exposure to lower rated issuers in the more volatile sectors such as healthcare, hospitals and industrial revenue bonds.
Looking ahead, U.S. economic conditions, interest rates, stock market performance and tax reform are all likely to influence municipal issuance, credit quality and valuations. The lack of new issuance during the past twelve months is attributed to reservations specific to the timing and pace of further monetary policy actions by the Federal Reserve, the Trump Administration’s infrastructure spending program, and budgetary considerations. The possibility of significant tax reforms, which may affect issuer borrowing costs, also plays into the mix given the financial implications. We believe total municipal issuance will settle in around $360 billion this year and next with new capital (as opposed to refunding) growing in importance next year as states and localities undertake long-delayed projects.
Our outlook for the tax-exempt market is encouraging even though valuations have richened considerably during the past year. Based on index data, Muni/Treasury (M/T) yield ratios have yet to reach historic lows dating back to the 1970s. Within our call for stable credit trends, a balance between supply/demand and interest rates increasing over time, we expect M/T ratios to remain near current levels through year-end. We’d be remiss not to mention tax reform, yet the on-going rhetoric and political dysfunction leads us to believe the potential for significant valuation adjustments stemming from a change in marginal tax rates is limited until specific details are known. As always, our tax-exempt team is busy identifying opportunities to enhance client portfolios in terms of quality, diversification and tax-free yield while diligently monitoring holdings.

The Madison Tax-Free National Fund (Class Y) returned 0.72% for the one-year period, underperforming the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-22 year Municipal Securities Index, which returned 1.96%. The Morningstar Muni National Long peer group gained 1.63%.
Although the fund was correctly positioned from a duration and sector standpoint, performance was hindered due to its overall high quality bias, yield curve positioning and preference for non-callable securities. The average duration (a measure of interest rate risk) of the fund was 4.39 years versus 4.53 years for the benchmark. Specific to quality, performance was held back by a less-than-benchmark exposure to issuers rated A and BBB, riskier states such as Illinois, larger state issuers such as California and New York and more volatile sectors including toll roads and housing (all of which outperformed the benchmark). In terms of maturity positioning, the fund’s higher-than-benchmark exposure to 6 to 8 year maturities detracted from return, as did limited exposure to maturities longer than 10 years. Lastly, the fund’s below benchmark exposure to callable bonds held back performance.
We believe the fund is positioned to generate favorable returns relative to the benchmark going forward. Should our expectation for higher interest rates materialize, we believe our preference for non-callable securities will be accretive to the fund’s performance given callable paper is more sensitive to interest rate movements.

MADISON HIGH QUALITY BOND FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison High Quality Bond Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives through diversified investments in a broad range of corporate debt securities, obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies, and money market instruments. In seeking to achieve the fund’s goals, the fund’s management will (1) shorten or lengthen the dollar weighted average maturity of the fund based on its anticipation of the movement of interest rates (the dollar weighted average maturity is expected to be ten years or less), and (2) monitor the yields of the various bonds that satisfy the fund’s investment guidelines to determine the best combination of yield, credit risk and diversification for the fund. Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in higher quality bond issues and, therefore, intends to maintain an overall portfolio quality rating of A by Standard & Poor’s and/or A2 by Moody’s or equivalent.

The Madison High Quality Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 0.25% for the one-year period, edging the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit A+ Index, which returned 0.14%. The fund underperformed the Morningstar Short-Term Bond category peer group’s return of 1.31% over the same period.
Examining the point-to-point movement in U.S. Treasury yields during much of the past 12 months would suggest a rather uneventful period. Nothing could be further from the truth. Investors have confronted a long list of policy, economic, and geopolitical events that will continue to influence returns in the months and years ahead. Interest rate volatility, driven by domestic growth concerns, central bank policy actions, renewed geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty spawned by hurricanes has produced challenging market conditions. We are pleased that the Madison High Quality Bond Fund was well positioned to face challenges such as these and that many of the factors instrumental in forming our defensive view for higher interest rates are beginning to draw wider attention.
After posting several consecutive quarters of solid economic growth, we expect a slight slowing in the third quarter before growth resumes in the fourth quarter. Hurricanes Harvey and Irma will impact the U.S. economy as two very large population centers (Houston and the entire Florida Peninsula) were significantly affected. Judging from past storms, the negative impact on growth should be short-lived as the rebuilding process adds to economic activity in the fourth quarter and beyond. Recovery efforts, combined with possible fiscal stimulus actions, could lead to more vigorous economic growth in coming periods.
Initial concerns that storm-related dampening of growth might alter the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) path to tighter monetary policy were quickly dismissed. At the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the Fed announced that the long anticipated reduction in the Fed’s balance sheet would launch in October. This begins the reversal of the Quantitative Easing (QE) policy initiated in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The Fed will begin the process by letting $6 billion in Treasury holdings and $4 billion in mortgage-backed obligations mature without reinvestment. The Fed went to great lengths to communicate the size of the run-off in advance in order to prepare markets. The central bank also signaled that the level of run-off will be systematically steady over time, leaving changes in the Federal Funds rate as the primary reactive tool for monetary policy as economic conditions evolve.
On that front, the Fed has indicated that they still anticipate hiking interest rates again in December. The projected Fed Funds rate of 3% by the end of 2019 was lowered to 2.75% in their most recent forecast, reflecting the persistently low, but in the Fed’s view transitory, levels of inflation. We concur with the Fed’s forecast. Higher wage gains and firmer energy prices should eventually lift inflation measures to the Fed’s 2% target as we move deeper into 2018.
Through all of the factors influencing market direction, the Madison High Quality Bond Fund remains well equipped to navigate a dynamic and changing investment landscape. The fund remains positioned with a conservative maturity posture and higher average quality bias in order to help insulate the fund from increased market volatility. Increased domestic growth potential, changing Fed policy, and building inflation pressures will continue to challenge fixed income markets. The High Quality Bond Fund’s defensive approach to both interest rate risk and credit risk will help to protect shareholder principal and provide the liquidity necessary to act opportunistically. Our belief that interest rates are headed higher appears more imminent now than at any time in recent memory.

being between 85-115% of the market benchmark duration. The fund strives to add incremental return in the portfolio by making strategic decisions related to credit risk, sector exposure and yield curve positioning. The fund may invest in corporate debt securities, U.S. Government debt securities, foreign government debt securities, non-rated debt securities, and asset-backed, mortgage-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

The Madison Core Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 1.22% for the one-year period, leading the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index®, which advanced 0.90%. The fund underperformed the Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond peer group, which gained 1.55% for the period.
The fund’s outperformance versus its benchmark was driven by a yield and carry advantage, strong selection within corporate bonds and an overall shorter duration versus the benchmark. The fund carried a yield advantage over the benchmark of 15 to 25 basis points during the past year. This yield advantage was a function of the fund having an overweight to corporate bonds and certain mortgage and asset-backed securities. The fund’s corporate and municipal bond positions outperformed the Bloomberg Barclay’s U.S. Corporate Index® by a significant amount over the one-year period. New issue participation, coupled with an overweight in triple-B rated corporate bonds, were both additive to performance. Finally, the fund had a lower duration during the one-year period as interest rates rose significantly. The ten-year Treasury yield rose roughly 55 basis points since October 2016. The fund’s duration was between 86% and 91% of the benchmark’s duration for a majority of the last year.
The largest detractor from performance was caused by the flattening of the yield curve. Over the past year, long-term interest rates increased less than short-term interest rates. The two-year Treasury rose 76 basis points during the last twelve months while the thirty-year Treasury only rose 30 basis points. The fund is underweight thirty-year bonds versus a slight overweight in two-year bonds, thus leading to a modest drag on performance.
Looking forward, the fund will continue to have a defensive posture with respect to duration. We continue to believe inflation pressures will build and, as the Federal Reserve gradually reduces its purchases of bonds, interest rates will rise further. Risks in the credit markets remain high given mergers and acquisitions and shareholder friendly activity. However, as long as foreign buying continues, the odds of significant underperformance in corporate bonds is low. Given this outlook, the fund will remain overweight corporate bonds but with an overall higher-quality bias than in past periods.
As of October 31, 2017, the fund had a yield to worst (i.e. lowest potential yield that can be received today into account prepayments, calls, etc.) of 2.71% with an effective duration of 5.33 years.

MADISON CORPORATE BOND FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Corporate Bond Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through diversified investment in a broad range of corporate debt securities. Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in income-producing corporate bonds, and at least 80% of its assets in investment grade bonds. Up to 20% of the fund’s assets may be invested in non-investment grade fixed-income securities commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” bonds. The fund expects to maintain an average overall portfolio quality of BBB or better, an overall portfolio dollar weighted average maturity of 15 years or less, and an overall portfolio duration within 25% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index benchmark (with the flexibility to occasionally vary from the benchmark by up to 50% when the investment adviser believes interest rates are likely to materially change).

The Madison Corporate Bond Fund (Class Y) gained 2.97% for the year period, versus the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index® which gained 3.46%. The fund lagged its peer group, the Morningstar Corporate Bond category, which posted a 3.48% gain.
Versus its benchmark, the fund benefited from being overweight Refiners and Master Limited Partnerships, both of which generated strong returns over the past year. The fund also benefited from owning high yield bonds, which significantly outperformed investment grade bonds during the period. The fund focused heavily on the new issue market where yield premiums were more attractive. Some of the bonds purchased on the new issue market during the past year that have performed well include Boardwalk Pipelines, CBOE Holdings, Air Lease, McDonald’s, EnLink Midstream, and Tyson Foods. The fund’s underweight to 30-year bonds detracted from performance, as longer-term bonds significantly outperformed intermediate-term bonds over the past year as the Treasury yield curve flattened. The fund’s underweight to Metal and Mining bonds also detracted from performance, as this sector performed very well with the recovery in related commodity prices. On a duration basis, the fund continues to have an underweight to the 30-year part of the yield curve as we believe overall yields and credit spreads on corporate bonds remain very low versus historical levels. Despite having a lower duration than the benchmark, the overall yield of the fund is very similar to the benchmark.

MADISON HIGH INCOME FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison High Income Fund invests primarily in lower-rated, higher-yielding, income bearing securities, such as “junk” bonds. Because the performance of these securities has historically been strongly influenced by economic conditions, the fund may rotate securities selection by business sector according to economic outlook. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds rated lower than investment grade (BBB/Baa) and their unrated equivalents or other high-yielding securities.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
Madison High Income Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 7.61% over the twelve-month period, underperforming the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index benchmark return of 9.14%. The fund slightly underperformed the Morningstar High Yield Bond category peer group, which returned 7.94% over the same period.
The fund’s underperformance during the period can be largely attributed to maintaining an average cash balance above 6% over the past year as high yield bond spreads continued to tighten. This caused us to be more selective in our investment choices and resulted in the fund carrying a higher cash balance than normal as we patiently waited for attractive opportunities. The fund’s conservative positioning also led to an underweight in triple-C and below rated securities during a year when the lowest rated, most volatile sectors performed the best. Triple-C and below rated securities returned 14.62% during the trailing twelve months, outperforming the returns of the higher
quality B (+9.14%) and BB (+7.69%) categories. At the sector level, the fund had little exposure to the more volatile sectors of Steel (+11.93%), Metals & Mining (+11.48%) and Banks & Thrifts (+10.41%), all of which meaningfully outpaced the overall market. The fund also had an underweight in Energy (+10.69%) and Telecom (+9.97%), which both outperformed the benchmark return of 9.14%. Positive contributors to performance included an overweight in Services (+11.22%) and Utilities (+10.72%) and avoiding exposure to the significantly underperforming Food & Drug Retail sector (-3.46%). The fund currently has a yield-to-worst of 4.75% and an effective duration of 2.98 years. The average quality rating within the fund was B1 as of October 31, 2017.
In the present environment, we expect that the fund will remain conservatively positioned. Current high yield bond spreads are at cyclically tight levels and we see little upside potential remaining as many of the positives, both fundamental and economic, have been discounted in prevailing market prices. We expect total returns going forward to be largely driven by interest income.

MADISON DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Diversified Income Fund seeks income by investing in a broadly diversified array of securities including bonds, common stocks, real estate securities, foreign market bonds and stocks and money market instruments. Bonds, stock and cash components will vary, reflecting the portfolio managers’ judgments of the relative availability of attractively yielding and priced stocks and bonds; however, under normal market conditions, the fund’s portfolio managers generally attempt to target a 40% bond and 60% stock investment allocation. Nevertheless, bonds may constitute up to 80% of the fund’s assets, stocks will constitute up to 70% of the fund’s assets, real estate securities will constitute up to 25% of the fund’s assets, foreign stocks and bonds will constitute up to 25% of the fund’s assets and money market instruments may constitute up to 25% of the fund’s assets. The fund intends to limit the investment in lower credit quality bonds to less than 50% of the fund’s assets.

The Madison Diversified Income Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 12.57% for the one-year period, beating its blended benchmark index (50% Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate, Government and Mortgage Index and 50% S&P 500® Index) which returned 11.78%. The fund lagged its Morningstar Moderate Allocation category peer group, which advanced 13.56% over the last year.
The equity portion of the Madison Diversified Income lagged the S&P 500 Index return modestly over the last twelve months as sector allocation and stock selection were modestly detractive. In terms of stock selection, there were positive results in Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Consumer Staples and Utilities, while Health Care, Financials, Technology and Energy negatively impacted the portfolio. In Consumer Discretionary, global fast food restaurant company McDonald’s (MCD) contributed nicely to results. Within Industrials, aerospace and defense manufacturer Boeing (BA) was the best performing stock in the portfolio. Another notable outperforming stock was alcohol spirits manufacturer Diageo (DEO) in Consumer Staples. On the negative side, within Health Care, medical device manufacturer Medtronic (MDT) detracted from results. In Financials, property and casualty insurer The Travelers (TRV) negatively impacted performance. Another notable underperforming stock was global conglomerate General Electric (GE), which was the worst performing stock in the portfolio. The fund sold GE and continues to hold the other stocks discussed above.
The fixed income portion of the Madison Diversified Income Fund continued to perform well over the last year, modestly outpacing the Bank of America Merrill Lynch US Corporate, Government, and Mortgage Index. The fund’s ongoing overweight in credit versus the Index contributed meaningfully to performance during the period as credit spreads continued to tighten. Corporate bonds were again the best performing fixed income sector within the Index. Bond performance was also aided by the fund’s duration posture which was nearly 1 year shorter than the Index. This conservative duration positioning helped to protect principal during the last 12 months as ten-year U.S. Treasury rates rose from 1.82% (10/31/16) to 2.37% (10/31/17). The largest detractor from relative performance over the period was a significant flattening in the yield curve, as short rates rose more quickly than longer term rates. The fund’s conservative positioning resulted in a relative overweight in shorter maturities which acted as a drag on performance as short-term yields rose.
Through all of the factors influencing market direction, the Madison Diversified Income Fund remains well equipped to navigate a dynamic and changing investment landscape. The fund is heavily positioned in high-quality, large-cap and above-average dividend-yield stocks. In our view, high-quality, large-cap, “blue chip” stocks sold at high valuations in the year 2000, and have generally been out of favor and underperformed since then. Over the last decade, we believe they have reached attractive valuations and are poised to outperform going forward.
Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison Diversified Income Fund - continued | October 31, 2017
The fund is also positioned with a conservative maturity posture and meaningful allocation to domestic credit sectors. Increased domestic growth potential, changing Fed policy and increasing inflation pressures will continue to challenge fixed income markets. The Madison Diversified Income Fund’s defensive approach to both interest rate risk and credit risk will help to protect client principal and provide the liquidity necessary to act opportunistically. Our belief that interest rates are headed higher appears more imminent now than at any time in recent memory.

MADISON COVERED CALL & EQUITY INCOME FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in common stocks of large-and mid-capitalization companies that are, in the view of the fund’s investment adviser, selling at a reasonable price in relation to their long-term earnings growth rates. The portfolio managers will allocate the fund’s assets among stocks in sectors of the economy based upon their views on forward earnings growth rates, adjusted to reflect their views on economic and market conditions and sector risk factors.
The fund will seek to generate current earnings from option premiums by writing (selling) covered call options on a substantial portion of its portfolio securities. The extent of option writing activity will depend upon market conditions and the portfolio manager’s ongoing assessment of the attractiveness of writing call options on the fund’s stock holdings. In addition to providing income, covered call writing helps to reduce the volatility (and risk profile) of the fund by providing downside protection.

Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund (Class Y) returned 6.15% for the one-year period, lagging the passive strategy of its covered call benchmark, the CBOE S&P 500 Buy/Write® Index (BXM), which returned 13.26%. The fund underperformed its Morningstar Option Writing category peer group, which returned 8.78% over the same period.
The past twelve months, particularly the period immediately following the Presidential election, was a very strong environment for equities with little or no downward pressure. This gave rise to historically low volatility and relatively poor option pricing which was not advantageous for call option writing. As the period closed, the S&P 500® has produced positive total returns in each of the past 12 months. The market has also set a record for the longest period without at least a 3% correction. All this while we are in the 9th consecutive year of a bull market. Global Central Banks have been providing the liquidity to keep riskier assets moving higher, but this may be about to change as the U.S. and European banks have suggested that a monetary tightening trend could replace the previous easy money period. The removal of accommodative policy should be cause for concern; however, there is a very high level of complacency amongst investors who believe markets can continue higher. We believe the rubber band has been stretched toward its breaking point and that it’s prudent to be wary of the current market levels. While the conservative and hedged nature of the fund naturally lags in a strongly up-trending market, we continue to believe that portfolio protection is prudent and increasingly imperative.
During the period, stock selection within the fund was weaker than hoped for as market performance was dominated by large technology and financial stock. Energy holdings, such as Apache and Range Resources, were among the weaker performers, as well as companies that were pressured by health care legislative uncertainty such as Express Scripts and McKesson. Weakness was somewhat offset by strength in NRG Energy, Marathon Petroleum, Baxter International and T-Mobile. From a sector allocation perspective, the fund’s general underweight in Technology stocks, particularly the FAANG (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google) stocks, coupled with an overweight in the Energy sector, provided the bulk of the headwind. Given the consistent up trend of the market throughout the period, the call option overlay and the fund’s cash positioning were also detractive to performance. Despite the historically low volatility levels, the fund has continued to generate a very attractive yield which has fallen within our expected range.
Covered call writing, as a strategy, is designed to provide a level of protection from uncertain and volatile equity markets. We haven’t had such markets for quite some time but that should not, and has not, changed our focus on the strategy. “Throwing in the towel” and becoming more aggressive is counter to what the strategy is meant to accomplish. We remain steadfastly committed to maintaining a very high quality equity portfolio with a high level of call option coverage in order to stay true to the purpose and objectives of your fund.

MADISON DIVIDEND INCOME FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Dividend Income Fund invests in equity securities of companies with a market capitalization of over $1 billion and a history of paying dividends, with the ability to increase dividends over time. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets will be invested in dividend paying equity securities. The fund typically owns 30-60 securities which generally have a dividend yield of at least the S&P 500’s average yield, a strong balance sheet, a dividend that has been maintained and likely to increase or trade on the high side of the company’s historical relative dividend yield, due to issues viewed by the adviser as temporary, among other characteristics. A key attraction for management is a company with a history of increasing dividend payments and a business model that supports the possibility of continuing these increases in the future.

Madison Dividend Income Fund (Class Y) returned 21.85% for the annual period, lagging its benchmark S&P 500® Index, which advanced 23.63%. The fund outperformed its Morningstar Large Value category peer group, which returned 19.57% over the same period.
Relative to the benchmark, sector allocation and stock selection were modestly detractive. In terms of stock selection, there were positive results in Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, Consumer Staples and Utilities, while Health Care, Financials, Technology and Energy negatively impacted the portfolio. In Consumer Discretionary, global fast food restaurant company McDonald’s (MCD) contributed nicely to results. Within Industrials, aerospace and defense manufacturer Boeing (BA) was the best performing stock in the portfolio. Another notable outperforming stock was alcohol spirits manufacturer Diageo (DEO) in Consumer Staples. On the negative side, within Health Care, medical device manufacturer Medtronic (MDT) detracted from results. In Financials, property and casualty insurer The Travelers (TRV) negatively impacted performance. Another notable underperforming stock was global conglomerate General Electric (GE), which was the worst performing stock in the portfolio. The fund sold GE and continues to hold the other stocks discussed above.

MADISON LARGE CAP VALUE FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Large Cap Value Fund will, under normal market conditions, invest primarily in large cap stocks. The fund follows a “value” approach, meaning the portfolio managers seek to invest in stocks at prices below their perceived intrinsic value as estimated based on fundamental analysis of the issuing company and its prospects. By investing in value stocks, the fund attempts to limit the downside risk over time but may also produce smaller gains than other stock funds if their intrinsic values are not realized by the market or if growth-oriented investments are favored by investors. The fund will diversify its holdings among various industries and among companies within those industries. The fund typically sells a stock when the fundamental expectations for buying it no longer apply, the price exceeds its intrinsic value or other stocks appear more attractively priced relative to their intrinsic values. The fund generally holds 25-60 individual securities in its portfolio at any given time.

MADISON INVESTORS FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Investors Fund invests primarily in the common stocks of established, high-quality growth companies. The fund typically owns 25-40 securities which have demonstrated stable revenue and earnings growth patterns, high profitability metrics, and have maintained proportionately low levels of debt. A rigorous analytical process is followed when evaluating companies. The business model, the management team and the valuation of each potential investment are considered. Management strives to purchase securities trading at a discount to their intrinsic value as determined by discounted cash flows. Management corroborates this valuation work with additional valuation methodologies. The fund typically sells a stock when the valuation target the portfolio managers have set for the stock has been exceeded, the fundamental business prospects for the company have materially deteriorated, or the portfolio managers find a more attractive alternative.

The fund enjoyed good, broad-based relative performance from its holdings in the Energy, Materials, Industrials, and Consumer Staples sectors. The fund had softer relative performance in the Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors, much of which is related to the market trends described below.
Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison Investors Fund - continued | October 31, 2017
Over the past year, we’ve observed some notable trends that have impacted the performance of stocks. First, the stock market rally after the 2016 elections had a significant impact on stock returns, particularly in the Financials sector. The S&P 500®’s Financials sector posted a positive 37% return over the past year, the majority of which came in the two months following the 2016 elections. We believe the rally in bank and capital markets-related Financial stocks has been predicated, in part, on expectations for financial deregulation, rising interest rates, and tax reform. To date, we do not believe the actual changes in these fundamental factors have been as substantial as the increases in the Financials sector’s stock prices.
Another important trend impacting stocks has been rapidly changing consumer preferences enabled by advances in information and communications technologies. These changes in consumer preferences have manifested in some of the following trends: an increase in the proportion of goods purchased on-line versus at physical retail locations; a preference to consume entertainment by streaming content over mobile phones or internet connections; an increase in the proportion of advertising done via digital platforms – specifically Google or Facebook; and an increase in the substitution of private label consumer goods and smaller “challenger brands” for traditional consumer brands. These changes have been happening at a rate rapid enough that it has been disruptive to many businesses and they have certainly had an impact on stock prices. For example, S&P 500® stocks in the Multiline Retail industry, such as department stores and general merchandise chain stores, have collectively experienced negative returns over the past year. Likewise, Consumer Staples sector stocks have collectively posted meager 4% returns. These low returns contrast with those of the perceived disruptors: Information Technology sector stocks are up 39% and Internet & Direct Marketing Retail industry stocks are up 38%.
The Madison Investors Fund has navigated this disrupted landscape by strategically positioning the portfolio in several ways. First, where disruption exists, we’ve been very selective in the stocks we own. The fund’s retail holdings are niche retail operations that have strong barriers to competition. Second, we’ve directed a meaningful proportion of the portfolio’s weight away from disrupted industries. For example, our two stocks in the Materials sector, Praxair and PPG, are new to the fund within the past two years and now constitute around one-tenth of the portfolio. Their business models are distanced from consumer disruption. Third, we own stocks that are collateral disruptors. Examples include Accenture and Visa, both of which are information technology stocks that are benefitting from disruption trends. Finally, we’ve been opportunistic in buying stocks that we believe have become too cheap based on perceived disruption. New stock holdings in aftermarket auto parts distribution, dental and veterinary distribution and an advertising agency holding company embody this latter point.
The fund’s turnover was 33% over the past year which we believe has been productive since it related to improving the risk-reward proposition of the holdings and to strategically positioning the fund for the environment that exists today.

MADISON MID CAP FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Mid Cap Fund invests generally in common stocks, securities convertible into common stocks and related equity securities of midsize companies and will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its net assets in such midcap securities. The fund seeks attractive long-term returns through bottom-up security selection based on fundamental analysis in a diversified portfolio of high-quality growth companies with attractive valuations. These will typically be industry leading companies in niches with strong growth prospects. The fund’s portfolio managers believe in selecting stocks for the fund that show steady, sustainable growth and reasonable valuation. The fund generally holds 25-40 individual securities in its portfolio at any given time. Stocks are generally sold when target prices are reached, company fundamentals deteriorate or more attractive stocks are identified.

top three individual contributors were CDW, CarMax, and Copart. Our bottom three contributors were Sally Beauty, Omnicom, and World Fuel Services.
CDW is a value-added distributor selling hardware, software and services from thousands of vendors. The company is benefitting from growth in overall Information Technology spending. CarMax is a used car retailer that continues to take market share year after year. Copart is an auctioneer of salvaged cars. While it benefits Copart’s business, the skyrocketing use of mobile phones while driving has, sadly, increased the supply of totaled cars that flow through Copart’s lots.
Omnicom is an advertising agency that is experiencing a slowdown in ad spending from global consumer firms that have historically been bedrocks of agency business. The valuation of the stock more than reflects the slowdown. Sally Beauty and World Fuel Services reported disappointing results for an extended period of time, and both stocks are no longer held in the fund.

MADISON SMALL CAP FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison Small Cap Fund invests primarily in a diversified mix of common stocks of small cap U.S. companies that are believed to be undervalued by various measures and offer sound prospects for capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the fund will maintain at least 80% of its net assets in such small cap securities. The portfolio managers employ a value-oriented investment approach in selecting stocks, using proprietary fundamental research to identify securities of companies they believe have attractive valuations. The portfolio managers focus on companies with a record of above average rates of profitability that sell at a discount relative to the overall small cap market. Through fundamental research, the portfolio managers seek to identify those companies which possess one or more of the following characteristics: sustainable competitive advantages within a market niche; strong profitability and free cash flows; strong market share positions and trends; quality of and share ownership by management; and financial structures that are more conservative than the relevant industry average. Under normal circumstances, the fund will generally hold 60-90 individual securities in its portfolio at any given time.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison Small Cap Fund (Class Y) returned 20.25% for the twelve-month period, trailing the returns of both the Russell 2000® Index, 27.85%, and the Russell 2000 Value® Index, 24.81%. The fund also lagged its Morningstar Small Blend category peer group, which returned 24.81% over the period.
Security selection was the primary source of underperformance relative to the Russell 2000® Index during the period as weak selection in the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Real Estate sectors more than offset positive stock selection within Financials, Energy, and Utilities. Sector allocation, a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, detracted modestly from relative results during the period, driven by our underweight to Health Care and Information Technology, and our overweight to the Energy sector. Fractional cash balance was a drag on performance during this period of strongly positive absolute returns.
The fund’s top detractors from relative performance during the period included Smart & Final Stores, a chain of warehouse-style food and supply stores; Babcock & Wilcox, a supplier of energy and environmental technologies and services to the power generation and industrial markets; and Cato Corporation, a women’s clothing retailer. We eliminated our position in Babcock & Wilcox during the period after the company announced large additional losses and the shares experienced a significant decline. The losses necessitated a refinancing of the balance sheet on what we believed were unfavorable terms and we determined that our original thesis was violated. The fund’s top contributors to relative performance during the period included Kemper, a multi-line insurer; Deltic Timber, a natural resources company; and Cranswick, a leading UK food producer and supplier of premium food products.
The fund’s investment approach emphasizes individual stock selection; sector weights are a residual of the bottom-up investment process. The fund manager does, however, carefully consider diversification across economic sectors seeking to limit risk. During the period we initiated new positions in Orion Engineered Carbon (Materials), Resolute Energy (Energy), Banc of California (Financials), and Tri Pointe Group (Consumer Discretionary), among others. We eliminated our positions in Webster Financial (Financials), G & K Services (Industrials), Charles River Labs (Health Care), and WGL Holdings (Utilities), among others during the period. As of the end of the period, the fund was most overweight in the Industrials and Materials sectors, and most underweight in Consumer Discretionary and Health Care relative to the Russell 2000® Index. Based on our long-term time horizon, we continue to

MADISON INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND |
|
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS |
The Madison International Stock Fund will invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in the stock of foreign companies. Typically, a majority of the fund’s assets are invested in relatively large capitalization stocks of companies located or operating in developed countries. The fund may also invest up to 30% of its assets in securities of companies whose principal business activities are located in emerging market countries. The portfolio managers typically maintain this segment of the fund’s portfolio in such stocks which they believe have a low market price relative to their perceived value based on fundamental analysis of the issuing company and its prospects. The fund may also invest in foreign debt and other income bearing securities at times when the portfolio managers believe that income bearing securities have greater capital appreciation potential than equity securities. The fund usually holds securities of issuers located in at least three countries other than the U.S. and generally holds 60-80 individual securities in its portfolio at any given time.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison International Stock Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 17.79% for the twelve-month period, lagging the 23.44% return of its benchmark MSCI EAFE Index (net). The fund also lagged the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category peer group’s return of 22.70% over the same span.
International equity markets rose strongly during the period and were driven by growing investor focus on fundamentals, including rising corporate profits, as well as continued global economic health. International equities mostly benefited in this environment, reaching or approaching all-time highs, yet with valuations still below those of the U.S. market. The economic expansion, which began almost a year ago off a very low base, has become increasingly synchronized across global economies.
Over the past year, the Madison International Stock Fund showed strong absolute returns but lagged the MSCI EAFE benchmark. Much of the underperformance stemmed from the early part of the 12-month period when low-quality stocks rallied strongly. Given that the relative value philosophy focuses on stocks with high-quality businesses at inexpensive prices, the fund was exposed to the parts of the market that rallied most strongly during that period. Since late in the first quarter, however, investors have focused more on quality and the widening gaps between stock prices and the earnings of some companies. Since the end of the first quarter, higher-quality stocks have begun to gradually rebound after a challenging period dominated by low-quality companies.
Stock selection in the Health Care sector has been a source of portfolio underperformance, especially the global specialty pharmaceutical manufacturer, Shire PLC. Despite consistently strong fundamentals and an attractive valuation, Shire’s stock price has struggled due to investor concerns over debt levels, its hemophilia franchise and most recently the departure of its CFO. Attractively valued with significant free cash flow growth expected through the rest of 2017 and 2018 (which will be used to de-lever the balance sheet), the portfolio managers (“managers”) continue to believe Shire’s prospects are very compelling. Another underperformer during the twelve month period was Teva Pharmaceutical. The global generic pharmaceutical manufacturer declined through the second half of 2016 and into 2017 due to political attention on drug pricing and concern about the level of competition facing one of its most important drugs. The managers’ thesis was invalidated when a key member of management departed, which negatively impacted their view of management. They subsequently sold the stock in January and the stock has fallen substantially since the sale. Cash was also a modest drag on relative performance over the past 12 months.
In Japan, a lower than benchmark weight helped relative returns. The fund remains underweight Japan, where the managers have found it difficult to find companies with impressive ROE’s whose valuations are attractive. Among the holdings the fund owns in Japan that the managers consider to represent good relative value investments, Daiwa House outperformed the market. Daiwa House designs and builds residential homes and commercial buildings in Japan. Their core businesses of rental apartment construction and logistics development are long-term areas of growth within a challenged Japanese economy. Stock selection in the Industrials sector was also a positive driver of relative returns. Shares of Vinci, a French toll-road, airport operator and infrastructure company continued higher on robust growth in air traffic while the company’s contracting/construction business also saw revenues rise. Additionally, shares of Irish discount airline Ryanair rose on good results and on the announcement of a new stock buyback program. Shares of
Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison International Stock Fund - continued | October 31, 2017
British companies exposed to US construction and infrastructure spending, such as Ferguson, a distributor of heating and plumbing products, rallied on the back of the Trump presidential election. Many of the fund’s other UK holdings also outperformed the market. The fund remains overweight the United Kingdom, where it owns many high-quality global businesses.
Outlook
Global economic growth has improved over the past year, albeit off low levels, enabling strong corporate profit growth outside of the United States. Market sentiment has continued to rise above already high levels, and markets are near or past their historic highs – despite valuation, geo-political and credit risks. Optimistic economic growth expectations are already reflected in low-quality stock prices and the market appears to be complacent.
The pace of fundamental improvement has accelerated outside the United States, a function of the pickup in global economic growth, more opportunity for margin improvement and cheaper currencies. Additionally, after several years of stronger economic growth, higher corporate profits and U.S. dollar strength, U.S. equites reflect higher expectations and carry higher valuations than international equities.
The portfolio managers believe the fund is well positioned for this market environment. With consistently high financial productivity driven by barriers to entry and sustainable competitive advantages, the companies the fund owns are poised to benefit from the turn back towards corporate fundamentals. Overall, management remains confident that, by continuing to focus on stock selection and seeking stocks with sustainably high or improving returns trading at attractive valuations, the fund’s strong long-term track record can continue.

On November 8, 2010, Ambac Financial Group, Inc., the holding company of AMBAC, announced that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Although AMBAC’s claim paying ability appears strong at this point, its ultimate ability to guarantee timely payment of principal and interest on these bonds, should they default, will be dependent on the timing and magnitude of losses within the entity’s overall portfolio. |

* | | This bond is covered by insurance issued by Ambac Assurance Corporation (“AMBAC”). On November 8, 2010, Ambac Financial Group, Inc., the holding company of AMBAC, announced that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Although AMBAC’s claim paying ability appears strong at this point, its ultimate ability to guarantee timely payment of principal and interest on these bonds, should they default, will be dependent on the timing and magnitude of losses within the entity’s overall portfolio. |

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Madison Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end, management investment company. As of the date of this report, the Trust offers eighteen funds (individually, a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”).
The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust without par value. The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Madison Asset Management, LLC (the “Investment Adviser” or “Madison”). The Investment Adviser, in turn, has entered into subadvisory agreements with certain subadvisers (“Subadvisers”) for the management of the investments of the Small Cap Fund and International Stock Fund.
The accompanying financial statements include the Government Money Market, Tax-Free Virginia, Tax-Free National, High Quality Bond, Core Bond, Corporate Bond, High Income, Diversified Income, Covered Call & Equity Income, Dividend Income, Large Cap Value, Investors, Mid Cap, Small Cap and International Stock (collectively, the “Core Funds”), and the Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation, and Aggressive Allocation Funds (collectively, the “Allocation Funds”).
The Government Money Market Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A and B. The High Income, Large Cap Value, Small Cap, and International Stock Funds offer three classes of shares: Class A, B and Y. The Diversified Income Fund and Allocation Funds offer three classes of shares: Class A, B and C. The Investors Fund offers three classes of shares: Class A, Y and R6. The Core Bond Fund and Mid Cap Fund offer four classes of shares: Class A, B, Y and R6. The Covered Call & Equity Income Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, C, Y and R6. The Tax-Free Virginia, Tax-Free National, High Quality Bond, Corporate Bond and Dividend Income Funds offer one class of shares: Class Y. Each class of shares represents an interest in the assets of the respective fund and has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except that each class of shares bears its own distribution fees and servicing fees, if any, and its proportional share of fund level expenses, is subject to its own sales charges, if any, and has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act as it relates to that class and other class-specific matters.
As of February 1, 2017 Class B shares of the funds are no longer available for purchase.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Each fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services - Investment Companies.”
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Portfolio Valuation: Equity securities, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) listed on any U.S. or foreign stock exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last quoted sale price or official closing price on that exchange or NASDAQ on the valuation day (provided that, for securities traded on NASDAQ, the funds utilize the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”)). If no sale occurs, equities traded on a U.S. exchange, foreign exchange or on NASDAQ are valued at the bid price. Debt securities purchased (other than short-term obligations) with a remaining maturity of 61 days or more are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services approved by the Trust. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measurements based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments.
Municipal debt securities are traded via a network of dealers and brokers that connect buyers and sellers. Liquidity in the tax-exempt market has been reduced as a result of overall economic conditions and credit tightening. There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular bonds and other debt securities, making them more difficult to value or sell. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche.
Investments in shares of open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their daily net asset value (“NAV”) which is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, on each day on which the NYSE is open for business. NAV per share is determined by dividing each fund’s total net assets by the number of shares of such fund outstanding at the time of calculation. Because the assets of each Allocation Fund consist primarily of shares of other registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”), the NAV of each fund is determined based on the NAVs of the Underlying Funds. Total net assets are determined by adding the total current value of portfolio securities, cash, receivables, and other assets and subtracting liabilities. Short-term instruments having maturities of 60 days or less and all securities in the Government Money Market Fund are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates market value.
Over-the-counter securities not listed or traded on NASDAQ are valued at the last sale price on the valuation day. If no sale occurs on the valuation day, an over-the-counter security is valued at the last bid price. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean of the best bid and ask prices across all option exchanges. Financial futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price established by the exchange(s) on which the contracts are primarily traded. Spot and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued based on quotations supplied by dealers in such contracts. Overnight repurchase agreements are valued at cost, and term repurchase agreements (i.e., those whose maturity exceeds seven days), swaps, caps, collars and floors, if any, are valued at the average of the closing bids obtained daily from at least one dealer.
Through the end of this reporting period, the value of all assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies was converted into U.S. dollar values using the then-current exchange rate at the close of regular trading on the NYSE.
All other securities for which either quotations are not readily available, no other sales have occurred, or in the Investment Adviser’s opinion, do not reflect the current market value, are appraised at their fair values as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) and under the general supervision of the Board. When fair value pricing of securities is employed, the prices of securities used by the funds to calculate NAV may differ from market quotations or NOCP. Because the Allocation Funds primarily invest in Underlying Funds, government securities and short-term paper, it is not anticipated that the Investment Adviser will need to “fair value” any of the investments of these funds. However, an Underlying Fund may need to “fair value” one or more of its investments, which may, in turn, require
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2017
an Allocation Fund to do the same because of delays in obtaining the Underlying Fund’s NAV.
A fund’s investments (or Underlying Fund) will be valued at fair value if, in the judgment of the Committee, an event impacting the value of an investment occurred between the closing time of a security’s primary market or exchange (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and the time the fund’s share price is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Significant events may include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) significant fluctuations in domestic markets, foreign markets or foreign currencies; (2) occurrences not directly tied to the securities markets such as natural disasters, armed conflicts or significant government actions; and (3) major announcements affecting a single issuer or an entire market or market sector. In responding to a significant event, the Committee would determine the fair value of affected securities considering factors including, but not limited to: fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment; and the forces influencing the market(s) in which the investment is purchased or sold. The Committee may rely on an independent fair valuation service to adjust the valuations of foreign equity securities based on specific market-movement parameters established by the Committee and approved by the Trust.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X took effect on August 1, 2017 and the financial statements have been updated, as applicable.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net realized gains or losses on sales are determined by the identified cost method. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded after the ex-dividend date based on when the fund is informed of the dividend. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Amortization and accretion are recorded on the effective yield method.
Expenses: Expenses that are directly related to one fund are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are prorated to the funds on the basis of relative net assets. Class-specific expenses are borne by that class.
Classes: Income and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative net assets.
Repurchase Agreements: Each fund may engage in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a security is purchased for a relatively short period (usually not more than seven days) subject to the obligation to sell it back to the issuer at a fixed time and price plus accrued interest. The funds will enter into repurchase agreements only with members of the Federal Reserve System and with “primary dealers” in U.S. Government securities. As of October 31, 2017, none of the funds held open repurchase agreements.
The Trust has established a procedure providing that the securities serving as collateral for each repurchase agreement must be delivered to the funds’ custodian either physically or in book-entry form and that the collateral must be marked to market daily to ensure that each repurchase agreement is fully collateralized at all times. In the event of bankruptcy or other default by a seller of a repurchase agreement, a fund could experience one of the following: delays in liquidating the underlying securities during the period in which the fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, possible decreased levels of income, declines in value of the underlying securities, or lack of access to income during this period and the expense of enforcing its rights.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The Trust’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency-denominated transactions (i.e., market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities, purchases and sales of investment securities, and income and expenses) are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange. The funds enter into contracts on the trade date to settle any securities transactions denominated in foreign currencies on behalf of the funds at the spot rate at settlement.
Each fund, except the Government Money Market, Tax-Free Virginia and Tax Free National Funds, reports certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains or losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Realized gains or losses associated with currency transactions are included in the Statements of Operations under the heading “Net realized gain (loss) on investments.” The International Stock Fund and Small Cap Fund had net realized losses of $14,797 and $950, related to foreign currency transactions, respectively.
The funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to change in market prices of securities. Such amounts are categorized as gain or loss on investments for financial reporting purposes.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Each fund, except the Government Money Market, Tax-Free Virginia and Tax Free National Funds, may purchase and sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts for defensive or hedging purposes. When entering into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, the funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily. The funds’ net assets reflect unrealized gains or losses on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign currency exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date. The funds realize a gain or a loss at the time the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled or closed out with an offsetting contract. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. As of October 31, 2017, none of the funds had open forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
If a fund enters into a forward foreign currency exchange contract to buy foreign currency for any purpose, the fund will be required to place cash or other liquid assets in a segregated account with the fund’s custodian in an amount equal to the value of the fund’s total assets committed to the consummation of the forward contract. If the value of the securities in the segregated account declines, additional cash or securities will be placed in the segregated account so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the fund’s commitment with respect to the contract.
Cash Concentration: At times, the funds maintain cash balances at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The funds monitor this credit risk and have not experienced any losses related to this risk.
Illiquid Securities: Each fund currently limits investments in illiquid securities to 15% of net assets at the time of purchase, except for the Government Money Market Fund which is governed by the Rule 2(a)-7 liquidity guidelines. An illiquid security is generally defined as any investment that may be difficult to sell within seven days for the price at which the fund values it. At October 31, 2017, there were no illiquid securities held in the funds. Pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees, certain unregistered securities are determined to be liquid and are not included within the percent limitations specified above.

Delayed Delivery Securities: Each fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. “When-issued” refers to securities whose terms are available and for which a market exists, but that have not been issued. For when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, no payment is made until delivery date, which is typically longer than the normal course of settlement. When a fund enters into an agreement to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the fund segregates cash or other liquid securities, of any type or maturity, equal in value to the fund’s commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors. As of October 31, 2017, the Core Bond Fund and Diversified Income Fund had entered into such transactions, the market values of which are identified in the fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Indemnifications: Under the funds’ organizational documents, the funds’ officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum liability exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as future claims that have not yet occurred may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Fair Value Measurements: Each fund has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) guidance on fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that each fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data “inputs” and minimize the use of unobservable “inputs” and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs used in the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rate volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risk, benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, new issues, spreads, and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities, underlying equity of the issuer; and proprietary pricing models such as yield measures calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance, and other reference data, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The valuation techniques used by the funds to measure fair value for the year ended October 31, 2017 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The funds utilized the following fair value techniques: multi-dimensional relational pricing model and option adjusted spread pricing; the funds estimated the price that would have prevailed in a liquid market for an international equity security given information available at the time of valuation. As of October 31, 2017, none of the funds held securities deemed as a Level 3, and there were no transfers between classification levels.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2017, in valuing the funds’ investments carried at fair value (please see the Portfolio of Investments for each fund for a listing of all securities within each category):

The Investment Adviser may from time to time contractually or voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds. In that regard, the Investment Adviser waived a portion of service agreement fees on the Government Money Market Fund Class A Shares and Class B Shares until at least February 27, 2018. The amount of the daily waiver is equal to the amount required to maintain a minimum daily distribution rate of zero. A portion of the Dividend Income Fund’s annual service fee, 0.05% is being waived by the Investment Adviser until February 27, 2018. The waived amounts for the Government Money Market and Dividend Income Funds are reflected as fees in the accompanying Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2017 the waivers were as follows:
| Waived Fees or Expenses* |
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Class A | | Class B | | Class Y | | Total Waivers |
| | | | | | | | |
Government Money Market | | $254 | | $22 | | $ – | | $ 276 |
Dividend Income | | – | | – | | 52,530 | | 52,530 |
* The Investment Adviser does not have the right to recoup any of these waived fees.
Shareholder Service and Distribution Plans (Rule 12b-1). Madison Funds has adopted, on behalf of certain funds and share classes, distribution and/or service plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These plans permit the funds to pay for distribution of their shares and servicing of their shareholders out of fund assets; therefore, the cost of these plans is indirectly borne by all shareholders who own shares of the affected funds and share classes. These plans are described below:
Shareholder Service Fees (Class A, B and C shares). Service plans have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class A, B and C shares of each of the funds, other than the Government Money Market Fund. Under the terms of these plans, each fund pays MFD Distributor, LLC (“MFD”) a service fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to each class of shares of that fund. The service fee is used by MFD to offset costs of servicing shareholder accounts or to compensate other qualified broker/dealers who sell shares of the funds pursuant to agreements with MFD for their costs of servicing shareholder accounts. MFD may retain any portion of the service fee for which there is no broker/dealer of record as partial consideration for its services with respect to shareholder accounts.
Distribution Fees (Class B and C shares only). Distribution plans have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under 1940 Act for Class B and C shares of each of the funds. Under the terms of each plan, each fund pays its principal distributor, MFD, a fee equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and C shares of that fund. MFD may use this fee to cover its distribution-related expenses (including commissions paid to broker/dealers for selling Class B and C shares) or distribution-related expenses of dealers. This fee increases the cost of investment in the Class B and C shares of a fund and, over time, may cost more than paying the initial sales charge for Class A shares.
The Shareholder Service & Distribution Fees are computed daily and paid monthly, at an annualized percentage rate of the average daily value of the net assets of each fund as follows:
| | | Shareholder Servicing Fee | | Distribution Fee | | Total Shareholder Servicing and Distribution Fees (Rule 12b-1) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

MFD may from time to time voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds. In that regard, MFD waived a portion of 12b-1 fees on the Government Money Market Fund Class B Shares for the purpose of maintaining a one day yield of zero. The amount of the daily waiver is equal to the amount required to maintain a minimum daily distribution rate of zero. For the year ended October 31, 2017, the waivers totaled $1,702 and are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statements of Operations. MFD does not have the right to recoup these waived fees.
Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the funds. Rather, they are deducted from the proceeds of sales of fund shares prior to investment (Class A shares) or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance (Class A, B, and C shares), as applicable. MFD, in turn, uses a portion of these fees to pay financial advisors who sell fund shares, as disclosed in the prospectus. The sales charges and CDSC collected and retained for the year ended October 31, 2017 were as follows:
| | Amount Collected | | | Amount Retained |
Fund | | Class A | | Class B | | Class C | | | Class A | | Class B | | Class C |

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2017
any potential taxes owed and extraordinary expenses as approved by a majority of independent trustees.
Officers and Trustees: Certain officers and trustees of the funds are also officers of the Investment Adviser. The funds do not compensate their officers or affiliated trustees. Independent Trustees are compensated. Fees paid to the Trustees reduce the fees paid to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement as described above.
4. DIVIDENDS FROM NET INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL GAINS
With respect to dividends from net investment income, the Government Money Market Fund declares dividends, if any, daily and reinvests monthly. The Tax-Free Funds, Core Bond, Corporate Bond, High Income and Diversified Income Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, monthly. The Conservative Allocation, High Quality Bond, Dividend Income and Covered Call & Equity Income Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, quarterly. The Moderate Allocation, Aggressive Allocation, Large Cap Value, Investors, Mid Cap, Small Cap and International Stock Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, annually. The funds distribute net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, to shareholders annually.
Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Taxable distributions from income and realized capital gains in the funds differ from book amounts earned during the period due to differences in the timing of capital gains recognition, and due to the reclassification of certain gains or losses from capital to income. Dividends from net investment income are determined on a class level. Capital gains are determined on a fund level.
5. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended October 31, 2017, aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term investment, were as follows:

6. COVERED CALL AND PUT OPTIONS
An option on a security is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option the security underlying the option at a specified exercise or “strike” price. The writer of an option on a security has an obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price (in the case of a call) or pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security (in the case of a put).
The Covered Call & Equity Income Fund will pursue its primary objective by employing an option strategy of writing (selling) covered call options on common stocks. The number of call options the fund can write (sell) is limited by the amount of equity securities the fund holds in its portfolio. The fund will not write (sell) “naked” or uncovered call options. The fund seeks to produce a high level of current income and gains generated from option writing premiums and, to a lesser extent, from dividends. Covered call writing also helps to reduce volatility (and risk profile) of the fund by providing protection from declining stock prices.
When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss.
7. FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Core Bond Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts and purchase and write options on futures contracts on a limited basis. The fund may purchase and sell futures contracts based on various securities (such as U.S. Government securities), securities indices, foreign currencies and other financial instruments and indices. The fund will engage in futures or related options transactions on a limited basis only for bona fide hedging purposes or for purposes of seeking to increase total returns to the extent permitted by regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Futures Contracts. The Core Bond Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the securities held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit with its futures broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government and Agency Obligations, or other assets, in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and based on such movements in the price of the contracts, an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value may be posted or collected by the fund (“variation margin”). Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or close. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed within exchange traded or centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Options on Futures Contracts. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Core Bond Fund the right (but not the obligation) for a specified price, to sell or to purchase, respectively, the underlying futures contract at any time during the option period. As the purchaser of an option on a futures contract, the fund obtains the benefit of the futures position if prices move in a favorable direction but limits its risk of loss in the event of an unfavorable price movement to the loss of the premium and transaction costs.
The writing of a call option on a futures contract generates a premium which may partially offset a decline in the value of the fund’s assets. By writing a call option, the fund becomes obligated, in exchange for the premium, to sell a futures contract which may have a value higher than the exercise price. Conversely, the writing of a put option on a futures contract generates a premium, which may partially offset an increase in the price of securities that the fund intends to purchase. However, the fund becomes obligated to purchase a futures contract, which may have a value lower than the exercise price. Thus, the loss incurred by the fund in writing options
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2017
on futures is potentially unlimited and may exceed the amount of the premium received.
8. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Each fund, other than the Tax-Free Funds and the Government Money Market Fund may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities are defined as securities that are: (i) issued by companies organized outside the U.S. or whose principal operations are outside the U.S., or issued by foreign governments or their agencies or instrumentalities (“foreign issuers”); (ii) principally traded outside of the U.S.; and (iii) quoted or denominated in a foreign currency (“non-dollar securities”). Foreign securities include ADRs, European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), GDRs, Swedish Depositary Receipts (“SDRs”) and foreign money market securities.
Certain of the funds have reclaims receivable balances, in which the funds are due a reclaim on the taxes that have been paid to some foreign jurisdictions. The values of all reclaims are not significant for any of the funds and are reflected in Other Assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These receivables are reviewed to ensure the current receivable balance is reflective of the amount deemed to be collectible.
9. SECURITIES LENDING
Several Madison Funds had been previously authorized to engage in securities lending, although they have not done so since the financial crisis. The Madison Funds’ board has recently re-authorized the funds, other than the Government Money Market Fund, to engage in securities lending with State Street Bank and Trust Company as securities lending agent pursuant to a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (the “Agreement”) and subject to certain securities lending policies and procedures. Under the terms of the Agreement, and subject to the policies and procedures, the authorized funds may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in order to generate additional income, while managing risk associated with the securities lending program. The Agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times by cash or U.S. government
securities, initially equal to at least 102% of the value of the securities. The loaned securities and collateral are marked to market daily to maintain collateral at 102% of the total loaned portfolio. Amounts earned as interest on investments of cash collateral, net of rebates and fees, if any, are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risk associated with securities lending is if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Under the Agreement, the securities lending agent has provided a limited indemnification in the event of a borrower default.
The funds did not engage in any securities lending activities during the year ended October 31, 2017. It is expected that the funds, other than the Government Money Market Fund, may re-engage in securities lending activity in the fiscal first quarter of 2018.
10. FEDERAL AND FOREIGN INCOME TAX INFORMATION
It is each fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes are recorded in the accompanying statements.
The funds have not recorded any liabilities for material unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2017. It is each fund’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income taxes, as appropriate. Tax years that remain open to examination by major tax jurisdictions include tax years ended 2014 through 2017.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

The differences between cost amounts for book purposes and tax purposes are primarily due to the tax deferral of wash sales.
Reclassification Adjustments. Paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income, and accumulated net realized gain (loss) have been adjusted in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for permanent book-tax differences for all funds.
Differences relate to the tax treatment of net operating losses, paydown gains and losses, foreign currency gains and losses, distributions from real estate investment trusts, distribution re-designations from investments in other regulated investment companies, and unusable capital loss carryforwards.
To the extent these book and tax differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the fiscal year among paid-in capital in excess of par value, undistributed net investment income (loss) and undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency translations. Accordingly, at October 31, 2017, reclassifications were recorded as follows:

11. CERTAIN RISKS
Investing in certain financial instruments, including forward foreign currency contracts, involves certain risks. Risks associated with these instruments include potential for an illiquid secondary market for the instruments or inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts, changes in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and financial statements’ volatility resulting from an imperfect correlation between the movements in the prices of the instruments and the prices of the underlying securities and interest rates being hedged. The International Stock Fund may enter into these contracts primarily to protect the fund from adverse currency movements.
Investing in foreign securities involves certain risks not necessarily found in U.S. markets. These include risks associated with adverse changes in economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, changes in currency exchange rates, exchange control regulations, expropriation of assets or nationalization, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments or capital gains, and possible difficulty in obtaining and enforcing judgments against foreign entities. Further, issuers of foreign securities are subject to different, and often less comprehensive, accounting, reporting and disclosure requirements than domestic issuers.
The funds may be subject to interest rate risk which is the risk that the value of your investment will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the market value of income-bearing securities. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally the longer a bond’s maturity, the more sensitive it is to risk. Federal Reserve policy changes may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility and may reduce liquidity for certain fund investments, which could cause the value of a fund’s investments and share price to decline. The Core Bond Fund may invest in derivatives tied to fixed-income markets and may be more substantially exposed to these risks than a fund that does not invest in derivatives.
The Government Money Market Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. Additionally, while the fund has maintained a constant share price since inception, and will continue to try to do so, neither the Investment Adviser nor its affiliates are required to make a capital infusion, enter into a capital support agreement or take other actions to prevent the fund’s share price from falling below $1.00.
The Tax-Free Funds invest in municipal securities. Municipal securities generally are subject to possible default, bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer. Principal and interest repayment may be affected by federal, state and local legislation, referendums, judicial decisions and executive acts. The tax-exempt status of municipal securities may be affected by future changes in the tax laws, litigation involving the tax status of the securities and errors and omissions by issuers and their counsel. Madison will not attempt to make an independent determination of the present or future tax-exempt status of municipal securities acquired for the funds. While most municipal securities have a readily available market, a variety of factors, including the scarcity of issues and the fact that tax-free investments are inappropriate for significant numbers of investors, limit the depth of the market for these securities. Accordingly, it may be more difficult for the funds to sell large blocks of municipal securities advantageously than would be the case with comparable taxable securities.
Effective May 1, 2015, the Core Bond Fund may invest in futures contracts or options on futures contracts. Investing in futures contracts and options on futures entail certain other risks such as: unanticipated changes in interest rates, securities prices or currency exchange rates, and may result in a poorer overall performance for the fund than if it had not entered into any futures contracts or options transactions. In the event of an imperfect correlation between a futures position and portfolio position which is intended to be protected, the desired protection may not be obtained
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2017
and the fund may be exposed to risk of loss. Perfect correlation between the fund’s futures positions and portfolio positions may be difficult to achieve.
The High Income Fund invests in securities offering high current income which generally will include bonds in the below investment grade categories of recognized rating agencies (so-called “junk bonds”). These securities generally involve more credit risk than securities in the higher rating categories. In addition, the trading market for high yield securities may be relatively less liquid than the market for higher-rated securities. The fund generally invests at least 80% of its net assets in high yield securities.
The Covered Call & Equity Income Fund invests in options on securities. As the writer of a covered call option, the fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. A writer of a put option is exposed to the risk of loss if fair value of the underlying securities declines, but profits only to the extent of the premium received if the underlying security increases in value. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security at the exercise price.
The Allocation Funds are fund of funds, meaning that each invests primarily in Underlying Funds, including ETFs. Thus, each fund’s investment performance and its ability to achieve its investment goal are directly related to the performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests; and the Underlying Fund’s performance, in turn, depends on the particular securities in which that Underlying Fund invests and the expenses of that fund. Accordingly, the Allocation Funds are subject to the risks of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the allocation of their respective assets among the Underlying Funds.
Additionally, the Allocation Funds are subject to asset allocation risk and manager risk. Manager risk (i.e., fund selection risk) is the risk that the Underlying Fund(s) selected to fulfill a particular asset class underperforms their peers. Asset allocation risk is the risk that the allocation of the fund’s assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.
The funds are also subject to cybersecurity risk, which include the risks associated with computer systems, networks and devices to carry out routine business operations. These systems, networks and devices employ a variety of protections that are designed to prevent cyberattacks. Despite the various cyber protections utilized by the funds,
the Investment Adviser, and other service providers, their systems, networks, or devices could potentially be breached. The funds, their shareholders, and the Investment Adviser could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach. The funds cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the funds. The funds do monitor this risk closely.
In addition to the other risks described above in the prospectus, you should understand what we refer to as “unknown market risks.” While investments in securities have been keystones in wealth building and management, at times these investments have produced surprises. Those who enjoyed growth and income of their investments generally were rewarded for the risks they took by investing in the markets. Although the Investment Adviser seeks to appropriately address and manage the risks identified and disclosed to you in connection with the management of the securities in the funds, you should understand that the very nature of the securities markets includes the possibility that there may be additional risks of which we are not aware. We certainly seek to identify all applicable risks and then appropriately address them, take appropriate action to reasonably manage them and to make you aware of them so you can determine if they exceed your risk tolerance. Nevertheless, the often volatile nature of the securities markets and the global economy in which we work suggests that the risk of the unknown is something to consider in connection with an investment in securities. Unforeseen events could under certain circumstances produce a material loss of the value of some or all of the securities we manage for you in the funds.
12. CAPITAL SHARES AND AFFILIATED OWNERSHIP
The Allocation Funds invest in Underlying Funds, certain of which may be deemed to be under common control because of the same or affiliated investment adviser and membership in a common family of investment companies (the “Affiliated Underlying Funds”). A summary of the transactions with each Affiliated Underlying Fund during the year ended October 31, 2017 follows:
Fund/Underlying Fund | | Beginning Value as of 10/31/2016 | | Gross Additions | | Gross Sales | | Realized Gain (Loss) | | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | | Value at 10/31/2017 | | Shares | | Dividend Income | | Distributions Received1 |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Madison Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Madison Funds, comprising the Madison Conservative Allocation Fund, Madison Moderate Allocation Fund, Madison Aggressive Allocation Fund, Madison Government Money Market, Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund, Madison Tax-Free National Fund, Madison High Quality Bond Fund, Madison Core Bond Fund, Madison Corporate Bond Fund, Madison High Income Fund, Madison Diversified Income Fund, Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund, Madison Dividend Income Fund, Madison Large Cap Value Fund, Madison Investors Fund, Madison Mid Cap Fund, Madison Small Cap Fund, and Madison International Stock Fund, (collectively, the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2017, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights of Madison Conservative Allocation Fund, Madison Moderate Allocation Fund, Madison Aggressive Allocation Fund, Madison Government Money Market Fund, Madison Core Bond Fund, Madison High Income Fund, Madison Diversified Income Fund, Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund, Madison Large Cap Value Fund, Madison Small Cap Fund, and Madison International Stock Fund, for each of the periods presented, the financial highlights of Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund and Madison Tax-Free National Fund for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016 2015, and 2014, and each of the two periods in the period ended October 31, 2013, the financial highlights of Madison High Quality Bond Fund, Madison Corporate Bond Fund, Madison Dividend Income Fund, Madison Investors Fund, and Madison Mid Cap Fund for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and the period ended October 31, 2013. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of Madison High Quality Bond Fund, Madison Corporate Bond Fund, Madison Dividend Income Fund, and Madison Investors Fund for the period ended December 31, 2012 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 26, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. The financial highlights of the Madison Mid Cap Fund for the period ended December 31 2012, before the effects of adjustments to retrospectively adjust the financial highlights to give effect to the reorganization as discussed in footnote 7 to the financial highlights, were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated February 26, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights of Madison Conservative Allocation Fund, Madison Moderate Allocation Fund, Madison Aggressive Allocation Fund, Madison Government Money Market Fund, Madison Core Bond Fund, Madison High Income Fund, Madison Diversified Income Fund, Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund, Madison Large Cap Value Fund, Madison Small Cap Fund, and Madison International Stock Fund for each of the periods presented, the financial highlights of Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund and Madison Tax-Free National Fund for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014, and each of the two periods in the period ended October 31, 2013, the financial highlights of Madison High Quality Bond Fund, Madison Corporate Bond Fund, Madison Dividend Income Fund, Madison Investors Fund, and Madison Mid Cap Fund for the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014, and the period ended October 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited the adjustments to the financial highlights of the Madison Mid Cap Fund for the period ended December 31, 2012, to retrospectively adjust the financial highlights to give effect to the reorganization as discussed in footnote 7 to the financial highlights. Our procedures included recalculating the conversion factor discussed in that footnote. In our opinion, such retrospective adjustments are appropriate and have been appropriately applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or perform any procedures to the financial statements and financial highlights of the Madison Mid Cap Fund for the period ended December 31, 2012 other than with respect to the retrospective adjustment described herein, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the financial statements and financial highlights of Madison Mid Cap Fund for the period ended December 31, 2012.

DISCUSSION OF CONTRACT RENEWAL PROCESS AND CONSIDERATIONS
At an in-person meeting of the Board held in July 2017, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of Madison Funds (the “Trust”), and by a separate vote, the Independent Trustees of the Trust, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Madison Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) with respect to the individual series of the Trust (each a “fund” and together, the “funds”) and the continuance of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Adviser and each of Wellington Management Company LLP and Lazard Asset Management LLC (each a “Subadviser” and together, the “Subadvisers”) with respect to certain funds.
In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Adviser and Subadvisers furnished information necessary for a majority of the Independent Trustees to make the determination that the continuance of the Agreements was in the best interests of the respective funds and their shareholders. The information provided to the Board included: (1) data comparing advisory fees and expense ratios of comparable investment companies; (2) comparative performance information; (3) the Adviser’s and its affiliates’ revenues and costs of providing services to the funds; and (4) information about the Adviser’s and Subadvisers’ personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements with management and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees and received materials from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and each Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with independent legal counsel in a private session at which no representatives of management were present. The Independent Trustees made a variety of additional inquiries regarding the written materials provided by the Adviser and the Subadvisers, and representatives of the Adviser and Subadvisers, respectively, discussed with the Independent Trustees each of those additional inquiries at the July 2017 meeting.
In approving the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Subadvisers to the funds, as applicable, including the personnel providing such services; (2) the Adviser’s and Subadvisers’ compensation and profitability; (3) a comparison of fees and performance with comparable funds and accounts; (4) economies of scale; and (5) the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed a variety of materials provided by the Adviser and Subadvisers in connection with the Board’s consideration of the renewal of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Subadvisers. The Board reviewed and considered a variety of fund specific information for each fund.
The Board reviewed the biographies and tenure of the personnel involved in Trust management and the experience of the Adviser (and applicable Subadviser) and its affiliates as investment manager to other investment companies with similar investment strategies or to individual clients or institutions with similar investment strategies. They recognized the wide array of investment professionals employed by the respective firm or firms. Representatives of the Adviser and each Subadviser discussed or otherwise presented their respective firms’ ongoing investment philosophies and strategies intended to provide investment performance consistent with each fund’s investment objectives in a variety of market environments.
The Board also discussed the various administrative services provided by the Adviser. The Board took into account that these services included arranging for third-party service providers to provide all necessary fund administration as well as ongoing monitoring of any Subadvisers to the funds. Based on their review of the information provided, the Independent Trustees determined with respect to each fund that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser (and applicable Subadviser) to the fund were satisfactory.
Fund Investment Performance. With regard to the investment performance of each fund, the Board reviewed current performance information provided in the written Board materials. They discussed the reasons for both outperformance and underperformance relative to the applicable peer groups, indices and benchmarks. They recognized that the usefulness of comparative performance data as a frame of reference to measure a fund’s performance may be limited because the performance peer group, among other things, may not precisely reflect the objectives and strategies of the fund, may have a different investable universe, or the composition of the peer group may be limited in size or number as well as other factors. They discussed the unique aspects of the securities markets applicable to particular funds so that the performance of any such funds could be reviewed in context.
The Trustees reviewed with the Adviser both long-term and short-term performance of each fund and considered the effect on long-term performance that may have been attributable to any previous portfolio managers to any fund or to a different investment strategy. They recognized that the performance data reflects a snapshot in time, in this case as of the end of the most recent calendar year or quarter. They took into account that a different performance period, however, could generate significantly different results. Further, they noted that long-term performance can be adversely affected by even one period of significant underperformance so that a single investment decision or theme has the ability to disproportionately affect long-term performance. The Board also noted that it reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information for each fund, including investment performance results, portfolio composition and investment philosophies, processes and strategies. They also considered whether any relative underperformance was appropriate in view of the Adviser’s conservative investment philosophy. The Board discussed the conservative investment philosophy implemented across certain funds and recognized the challenges to achieving relative outperformance given the unprecedented bull market. The Board noted the type of market environments that favor the funds’ strategies and discussed the funds’ performance in such market environments. The Board performed this review in connection with the Adviser and each Subadviser. In connection with the review of the funds’ investment performance, the Board also engaged in a comprehensive discussion of market conditions and discussed the reasons for fund performance under such conditions. The equity funds participated reasonably well in a generally strong market environment and captured less downside during market corrections. The equity funds generally employ strategies that assume lower risk than that of the aggregate market. Regarding the allocation funds, the Board noted the risk adjusted performance of all three allocation funds rank in the top quartile over the trailing five year period. With regard to fixed-income funds, the Board considered each fund’s relatively conservative investment philosophy and high-quality bias during a period of historically low interest rates and the relative risks to fixed-income funds in the current environment. Representatives of the Adviser discussed with the Board the methodology for arriving at peer groups and indices used for performance comparisons. The Board also considered that sometimes the Morningstar categories the funds fall into do not precisely match a fund’s investment strategy and philosophy. Based on their review, the Independent Trustees determined that, given the totality of the above factors and considerations, each fund’s overall investment performance had been satisfactory.
Costs and Profitability. With regard to the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the
Madison Funds | Other Information (unaudited) - continued | October 31, 2017
Trust, the Board reviewed the expense ratios for comparable funds in each fund’s peer group. The Board reviewed these matters with respect to the Adviser and each Subadviser.
The Board noted that the Adviser or its affiliates, and, as applicable, each Subadviser, provided investment management services to other investment company and/or non-investment company clients and considered the fees charged by the Adviser (and respective Subadviser) to such funds and clients for purposes of determining whether the given advisory fee was disproportionately large under the legal standard traditionally used by investment company boards in connection with contract renewal considerations. The Board took those fees into account and considered the differences in services and time required by the various types of funds and clients to which the Adviser (or Subadviser, if applicable) provided services. The Board recognized that significant differences may exist between the services provided to one type of fund or client and those provided to others, such as those resulting from a greater frequency of shareholder redemptions in a mutual fund and the higher portfolio turnover rates typically experienced by mutual funds. The Board gave such comparisons the weight that they merit in light of the similarities and differences between the services that the various funds require. They considered that, if the services rendered by the Adviser (or Subadviser, if applicable) to one type of fund or client differed significantly from others, then the comparison should be given less weight. In the case of non-investment company clients for which the Adviser (or Subadviser, if applicable) may act as either investment adviser or Subadviser, the Board noted that the fee may be lower than the fee charged to the Trust. The Board also noted the various administrative, operational, compliance, legal and corporate communication services required to be handled by the Adviser (or Subadviser, if applicable) which are performed for investment company clients but are not typically performed for non-investment company clients.
The Trustees compared each fund’s total expense ratio and advisory fee to those of comparable funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. The Board noted the simple expense structure maintained by the Trust: an advisory fee and a capped administrative “services” expense.
The Trustees sought to ensure that fees paid by the Trust were reasonable. The Board reviewed materials demonstrating that although the Adviser is compensated for a variety of the administrative services it provides or arranges to provide to the funds pursuant to its administrative services agreements with the Trust (“Services Agreement”), such compensation does not always cover all costs because the Services Agreement effectively acts as a cap on administrative expenses. Therefore, the Board recognized that some of the administrative, operational, regulatory or compliance fees or costs in excess of the Services Agreement fees are paid by the Adviser from investment advisory fees earned. In this regard, the Trustees noted that examination of each fund’s total expense ratio compared to those of other investment companies was more meaningful than a comparison of management fee schedules alone.
The Board recognized that to the extent a fund invests in other funds managed by the Adviser (or its affiliates), the Adviser (or an affiliate) receives investment advisory fees from both the fund and the underlying fund. The Board was satisfied in this regard that the Adviser (or an affiliate) provides separate services to the Trust’s “fund of funds” portfolios and the underlying funds in which each such fund invests in exchange for the fees received from them.
The Board noted that for some smaller funds, the salaries of all portfolio management personnel, trading desk personnel, corporate accounting personnel and employees of the Adviser who serve as Trust officers, as well as facility costs (e.g., rent, etc.), could not be supported by fees received from such funds alone. However, the Board recognized that the Trust is profitable to the Adviser because such salaries and fixed costs are already paid in whole or in part from revenue generated by management of other client assets managed by the Adviser, including the Trust as one of a consolidated family of investment companies. The Trustees noted that total assets managed by the Adviser and its affiliates of approximately $16 billion at the time of the meeting. As a result, although the fees paid by an individual fund at its present size might not be sufficient to profitably support a stand-alone fund, the Trust is reasonably profitable to the Adviser as part of its larger, diversified organization. In sum, the Trustees recognized that the Trust is important to the Adviser and is managed with the attention given to the Adviser’s other clients.
Based on the foregoing, the Independent Trustees concluded that the level of profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates was reasonable in light of the services provided. In considering the profitability of each Subadviser, the Board noted that the Sub-advisory fees payable under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements were paid by the Adviser out of the fees that it receives under the Investment Advisory Agreement and were negotiated by the Adviser at arm’s length. As a consequence, the profitability to each Subadviser of its relationship with the applicable fund was not a substantial factor in the Board’s deliberations.
Economies of Scale. With regard to the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund’s assets increase, the Trustees recognized that at their current asset levels, it was premature to discuss any economies of scale not already factored into the compensation payable under existing Advisory and Services Agreements. In addition, the Trustees recognized that the Adviser was currently waiving certain fees (pursuant to its investment management agreement or pursuant to the applicable Services Agreement, as the case may be) with regard to: the Dividend Income Fund and Government Money Market Fund.
The Board recognized that another method to help ensure the shareholders share in any economies of scale is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules. Based on their review, the Independent Trustees concluded that the current advisory fee schedules and fee arrangements and waivers (as applicable) were appropriate and reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase. In considering the economies of scale experienced by each Subadviser, the Board noted that the Sub-advisory fees payable under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements were paid by the Adviser out of the fees that it receives under the Investment Advisory Agreement and were negotiated by the Adviser at arm’s length. As a consequence, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Subadviser’s management of the applicable fund to be a substantial factor in its deliberations, although the Board noted that the Sub-advisory fee schedule for the fund managed by Lazard Asset Management contained a breakpoint that would reduce the Sub-advisory fee rate on assets above specified levels as the applicable fund’s assets increased.
Conclusions. In considering the renewal of the funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them on a fund-by-fund basis, and their determinations were made separately with respect to each fund. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding each fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Adviser demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Adviser is qualified to manage the fund’s assets in accordance with the fund’s investment objective and strategies; (c) the overall investment performance of the fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices and benchmarks; (d) the fund’s advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services received by the fund from the Adviser and other factors considered; and (e) the Adviser’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objectives of the fund. Based on the foregoing conclusions, the Trustees determined with respect to each fund that continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
In considering the renewal of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Subadviser, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did
Madison Funds | Other Information (unaudited) - continued | October 31, 2017
not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding each applicable fund’s Sub-Advisory Agreement, among others: (a) the applicable Subadviser demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the applicable Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement; (b) the applicable Subadviser is qualified to manage the fund’s assets in accordance with the fund’s investment objectives and policies; (c) the overall investment performance of the fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices and benchmarks; (d) the fund’s Sub-advisory fee is reasonable in light of the services received by the fund from the applicable Subadviser; and (e) the applicable Subadviser’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objectives of the fund. Based on the foregoing conclusions, the Board determined that approval of each Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements with the applicable Subadviser was in the best interests of the applicable fund and its shareholders.
FUND EXPENSES PAID BY SHAREHOLDERS
As shareholders of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the funds 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 six-month period ended October 31, 2017. Expenses paid during the period in the tables below are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half fiscal year period).
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values using actual expenses and actual returns for the funds. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the 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 table for the fund you own 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 table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the 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 funds and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example of the funds you own with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other similar funds.
