Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Period in Review
After a long absence, volatility reestablished itself with authority over the past twelve months. Markets entered 2018 juiced up on fresh U.S. fiscal stimulus provided by the sweeping tax law changes and what was, at the time, a broad-based synchronized global economic expansion. However, after making a seemingly parabolic 12% advance between mid-November 2017 and late January 2018, the S&P 500 experienced an abrupt 10% nosedive in a mere two-weeks. Rising U.S. interest rates and concern over an even more restrictive Federal Reserve rate hike campaign appeared to be behind the newfound market concerns. By spring it was clear that economic growth in both Europe and China was slowing and failing to meet expectations. Talk of tariffs and a potential trade war sparked even greater worries on the global stage. The U.S. equity market was able to recover throughout the summer on the back of impressive earnings growth, assisted by the corporate tax cut. However, international markets continued to decline. Emerging markets were hit especially hard by the combination of a slowing China, stronger U.S. Dollar and a general tightening in financial conditions. In late September, turbulence returned as the markets took the turn of the season to fall quite literally, and the S&P 500 proceeded to drop nearly 10% by Halloween.
Despite the volatility, the S&P 500 returned a solid 7.4% over the one-year period. The overall return may have been strong, but the bulk of the advance was concentrated in a small set of high growth stocks. The rest of the market experienced much more muted results. Major asset class returns outside of U.S. equities were negative: international stocks (MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index) dropped -8.2%; emerging markets (MSCI EM Index) fell -12.5%; and bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index), hurt by rising interest rates, also declined over the period returning -2.1%.
The most dramatic period for the year occurred in October. The S&P 500® Index fell -6.8% in October with a late-month rally softening the monthly low on October 29th when the Index had dropped more than -9.0% since September 30, 2018. At this point, year-to-date returns were fractional, but the bounce over the final two days brought the 2018 S&P 500 return back to 3.0% for the calendar year, and to 7.4% over the last twelve months. As we’ve been forewarning, just as the market gains over the past few years have been concentrated in favored sectors and stocks, so were the October losses. The gap in sector performance this last month of the fiscal year was a substantial 13.7%, with the top-performing Utilities Sector up 2.4% and Consumer Discretionary down -11.3%. In a reversal of long-standing trends, value stocks outpaced growth, as the mega-cap tech stocks led the market decline. Thanks to our disciplined approach to valuation and company fundamentals and diversification into quality bonds, the Madison Funds showed considerable resistance to the market correction.
More important than this past month’s performance is an attempt to understand the underlying dynamics of the market selloff. This downturn can be attributed to a combination of elevated valuations, rising interest rates and a growing recognition that this year’s tariffs are having a direct impact on many companies’ input costs and margins. At the same time, there is little to promote the notion that we are entering a full-blown recession, with third quarter 2018 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth reported at a robust 3.5% annualized rate despite being down a bit from the second quarter’s 4%+ growth. While there has been considerable anxiety over future corporate earnings, recent profit reporting has been positive – much of the reason the market rallied at month end.
Bond returns again lagged stock market returns by a wide margin as interest rates rose significantly over the last twelve months. The buoyant economy certainly contributed, as did gradually rising inflation. But the main impetus for rising yields during the period was a Federal Reserve intent on steering monetary policy back to a more neutral footing. Indeed, the benchmark Fed Funds Rate rose by a full 1% over the past year. Longer-maturity Government bond rates responded in-kind, and the benchmark ten-year Treasury Note finished fiscal 2018 solidly above 3% – a key resistance level which had mostly held since the low in yields back in 2016.
Among all the leading indicators, the main troublesome note is the softening of the housing market, often a harbinger of broader economic difficulties. However, we also need to take into account the effect of rising mortgage rates and the dampening of demand via the new tax code, which diminishes the tax benefits of home ownership, particularly in high-end real estate and high-tax states. Given these real estate exceptions and given the continued strength of corporate earnings and the robustness of consumer spending, it is far too early to call for a significant decline in the domestic economy.
That is not to suggest we are past the worst and sailing into smooth water. The global economy strikes us as considerably less stable than our own, particularly in light of potential trade wars, and we are always subject to the shock effects of geopolitical disruptions. By the time you receive this letter election results from the mid-terms will be in. Little of October’s market volatility seemed to be precipitated by election jitters and the most likely outcomes, including the predicted shift in House leadership, have not troubled investors. It seems likely that much of the bump in U.S. GPD growth in the first half of the year will boil down to temporary causes, including inventory buildup ahead of the tariffs. We expect more modest, positive GDP results going forward. Inflation, for its part, remains quiescent but in a grudgingly upward trend that will, for now, give the Federal Reserve cover to continue raising short-term interest rates.
Another lesson to be gained from this past month is the importance of stock valuation and the defensive value of investments based on fundamentals rather than expectations or hope. The relative outperformance of these stocks during this downtrend matches our experience and expectations. It’s also part of our long-held discipline that we’ve found to be a major aid in helping investors hold their course. By investing in companies which can continue to generate positive results through more challenging times, we all can feel comfortable with maintaining the appropriate asset allocation targets which we believe will reward investors over time.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2018
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. |
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.

The Madison Conservative Allocation Fund (Class A at NAV) returned -0.75% for the one-year period, compared to its benchmark Conservative Allocation Fund Custom Index return of -0.51%. The fund outperformed its peers as measured by the Morningstar Conservative Allocation Category, which returned -1.10% for the year.
After a long absence, volatility reestablished itself with authority over the past twelve months. Markets entered 2018 juiced up on fresh U.S. fiscal stimulus provided by the sweeping tax law changes and what was, at the time, a broad-based synchronized global economic expansion. However, after making a seemingly parabolic 12% advance between mid-November 2017 and late January 2018, the S&P 500 experienced an abrupt 10% nosedive in a mere two weeks. Rising U.S. interest rates and concern over an even more restrictive Federal Reserve rate hike campaign appeared to be behind the newfound market concerns. By spring it was clear that economic growth in both Europe and China was slowing and failing to meet expectations. Talk of tariffs and a potential trade war sparked even greater worries on the global stage. The U.S. equity market was able to recover throughout the summer on the back of impressive earnings growth, assisted by the corporate tax cut. However, international markets continued to decline. Emerging markets were hit especially hard by the combination of a slowing China, stronger U.S. Dollar and a general tightening in financial conditions. In late September, turbulence returned as the markets took the turn of the season to fall quite literally, and the S&P 500 proceeded to drop nearly 10% by Halloween.

Major asset class returns outside of U.S. equities were negative: international stocks (MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index) dropped -8.2%; emerging markets (MSCI EM Index) fell -12.5%; and bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index), hurt by rising interest rates, also declined over the period returning -2.1%.
The fund entered the period with a modestly defensive equity underweight. Our equity composition was leaning a little too heavily on the international side early on, which detracted from returns. However, we quickly reallocated back toward the U.S. as our concerns grew over the potential for trade disruption. We also increased the use of dollar hedging, which aided performance as the dollar strengthened throughout the back half of the period. Within U.S. equities, overweight allocations to growth stocks boosted returns, as did outperformance from our two core actively managed large cap funds. Timely allocations into Consumer Staples and Health Care late in the period were also additive. Detracting from returns were our overweight allocations to midcaps and Energy stocks. On the fixed income side, the fund was rewarded for taking lower interest rate (duration) risk throughout the year as interest rates increased. The largest positive contributions came from our short-term holdings in corporate bonds and Treasuries. Our long-term Treasury holding, which we hold more as an equity hedge, provided the biggest drag on our fixed income performance.
As expected, the fund held up extremely well during the two larger equity declines and we believe the fund is well positioned for today’s increasingly volatile capital markets.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
The Madison Government Money Market Fund (Class A) returned 1.08% for the prior twelve months, compared to a 1.67% return on the fund’s 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill benchmark. The Morningstar U.S. Fund Money Market -Taxable peer group returned 1.21% for the period.
The yield on the Madison Government Money Market Fund continues to move higher in response to ongoing increases in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed). We expect further increases in money market yields as the Fed continues to steer a path to monetary neutrality over the next twelve months. Fundamental factors, including solid economic growth, moderately rising inflation rates and a robust employment backdrop in the U.S. are supportive of further rate increases. We continue to position the fund with a short average maturity which allows the yield on the fund to respond quickly to market developments.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives 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 -1.52% for the one-year period, underperforming the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-22 Year Municipal Securities Index, which returned -0.63%. The Morningstar Municipal Single State Intermediate peer group returned -1.03% for the period.
The fund’s relative performance was impacted by its yield curve positioning, sector allocation and quality distribution. During the period, the fund was more heavily exposed to 4-to-8 year maturities where valuations adjusted downward more severely than other parts of the yield curve as interest rates rose. Also detracting from return was the fund’s conservative exposure to less-volatile sectors and lower-rated revenue bonds as riskier bonds experienced more of a decrease in risk premiums. Additive to performance was the fund’s greater than benchmark allocation to shorter maturities and a slight yield advantage.
We believe interest rates will continue to rise until the Fed reaches the so-called natural (or normalized) rate of interest. Economists (including those at the Fed) project short-term rates are apt to rise to somewhere between 2.75% and 3.25%, but only hindsight will tell us for sure. History suggests the Treasury yield curve is likely to move higher, although its shape may flatten as short-term rates move upward at a quicker pace than long-term rates. The wildcard is inflation – low inflation may support a flat curve while unexpectedly higher inflation may justify a steeper curve. The current Administration continues to add an element of uncertainty in how interest rates may respond to global trade negotiations, deregulation and federal spending. Undoubtedly, current and forthcoming policies will in some manner impact U.S. economic growth, tax revenue and (in a few cases) municipal credit strength.
Given our outlook, we are positioning bonds with less sensitivity to changes in interest rates and prefer tax-exempt bonds with known revenue streams as opposed to annual appropriations. In addition to essential service revenue bonds, we are also partial to issuers located in economically vibrant and diverse geographic locales. Specifically, we’ve become increasingly cautious about regions most susceptible to decreased economic growth, population migration and/or business relocation. We also positioned securities structured with less call risk which should help returns in a gradually rising rate environment.
We are watching for signals that may temporarily disrupt muni valuations should the typical summer slowdown manifest. Indications of such dislocations could include heightened illiquidity, increased volatility, growing credit concerns or weaker economic conditions. Municipal creditworthiness is not a forgone conclusion as tax-exempt bonds are prone to credit impairment and default, although less-so than corporate bonds. Of concern is how much the rating spectrum of state general obligation (GO) bonds has shifted downward. In the past few years, the bottom portion of the rating range has dropped from low single-A to low triple-B. Although market valuations have adjusted slightly, many state valuations remain too rich given they face long-term fiscal challenges. This rings true within Virginia where investor demand for in-state bonds, coupled with scarcity of bonds, have kept valuations toward lofty levels. Should valuations become more attractive we are prepared to position longer maturities which offer higher all-in yields while maintaining our high quality emphasis.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The Madison Tax-Free National Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds that are exempt from federal income taxes. 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 primary difference between this fund and the Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund is that the Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund will invest in bonds that are exempt from federal and state income tax for residents of Virginia, while this fund will invest in bonds that are exempt from federal income tax.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2018
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The Madison High Quality Bond Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective 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.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison High Quality Bond Fund (Class Y) returned -1.09% for the one-year period, slightly lagging the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit A+ Bond Index, which returned -1.02%. The fund underperformed the Morningstar Short-Term Bond category peer group’s return of 0.28% over the same period.
Income has returned to U.S. fixed income markets. Income in the form of higher interest rates across the yield curve, largely absent since the financial crisis, has reached levels we haven’t seen in nearly a decade. Strong and consistent economic growth, tightening labor markets, along with methodical Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy normalization continue to fuel higher rates. Recent months have brought increased volatility as trade rhetoric and approaching mid-term elections dominate the newswires. As we head into the final months of 2018, we are excited by the opportunities presented by high quality fixed income markets.
Over the past 12 months, interest rates moved steadily higher, with short-term yields moving more quickly than long-term. Much of this move was attributable to the markets pricing in future Fed rate hikes. Against a backdrop of consistently strong economic growth and tight labor markets, interest rates on two-year Treasuries rose 126 basis points to end the period at 2.87% while ten-year rates rose 76 basis points to end the period at 3.14%.
Looking forward, our work suggests the case for continued growth is intact. With that growth, we expect the Fed will continue to normalize interest rates. The Fed’s estimate for growth was revised slightly higher at the September Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting from 2.8% to 3.1% for all of 2018. As Fed Chairman Powell likes to remind us, longer term projections are nebulous at best, but it is noteworthy that the Fed currently sees no signs of impending recession.
Despite continued stable growth in the domestic economy, concerns remain that slowing global growth could influence U.S companies doing business abroad. While the economy has thus far weathered the initial effects of tariffs, the full impact has likely not been fully felt. The threat of additional tariffs and prolonged protectionist policies remain a potential headwind to growth. New concerns over Italy’s defiant budget approach to European Union guidelines and concerns over some emerging market participants, while contained thus far, could bolster market volatility.
While we are more likely closer to the end of the interest cycle than the beginning, we still see economic momentum taking interest rates higher. In our view the Fed has further work to do in its effort to normalize yields at a neutral level. Our expectation is for the yield curve to shift higher, flattening further. We will continue to opportunistically position the High Quality Bond Fund, while remaining highly selective in the credits we hold. Further, we believe that positioning portfolio holdings further out the yield curve, given the upward adjustment in the yields, provides opportunities to earn meaningful income in high quality portfolios.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
Under normal market conditions, the Madison Core Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds. To keep current income relatively stable and to limit share price volatility, the fund emphasizes investment grade securities and maintains an intermediate (typically 3-7 year) average portfolio duration, with the goal of 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.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison Core Bond Fund (Class Y) returned -2.12% for the one-year period, lagging the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index®, which fell -2.05%. The fund underperformed the Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond peer group, which returned -1.91% for the period.
The fund’s performance versus its benchmark was driven by a yield and carry advantage, strong performance within securitized products and defensive duration positioning versus the benchmark. The fund carried a yield advantage over the benchmark of 20 to 25 basis points throughout the past year. The yield advantage was a function of the fund having an overweight of 10-12% in corporate bonds versus the index and owning a small amount of high yield bonds. The fund also held 5% in taxable municipal bonds, which act as a corporate bond surrogate.
The fund’s securitized allocation significantly outperformed the Bloomberg Barclay’s U.S. Securitized Index® over the one-year period. An overweight to fleet lease asset-backed securities (ABS) and subordinate credit card ABS both helped performance. The fund also held more fifteen and twenty-year mortgage backed securities (MBS) which outperformed thirty-year MBS on a total return basis over the trailing year.
Finally, the fund had a lower duration during the one-year period as interest rates rose significantly. Since October 2017, the two-year, ten-year and thirty-year Treasury yield rose roughly 127, 76 and 51 basis points, respectively. The fund’s duration was between 83% and 93% of the benchmark’s duration for a majority of the last year. The fund’s underweight to twenty- and thirty-year bonds produced a slight drag on performance but the overall shorter duration versus the benchmark had a much greater impact.
Looking forward, the fund will look to reduce the underweight to twenty- and thirty-year bonds if interest rates continue to rise. Inflation pressures slowly built during the third quarter of 2018, which increased term premiums for intermediate and long-term bond yields. We believe this will continue into the medium-term. Additionally, the fund will continue to reduce credit risk where opportunities arise. The credit markets are in the later stages of their cycle and the fund is actively looking for trade opportunities to sell credit risk and rotate into lower-risk sectors such as residential mortgages, commercial mortgages or asset back securities.
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.

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).

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison Corporate Bond Fund (Class Y) posted a -3.11% total return for the year period versus the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index®, which posted a -3.02% total return. The fund underperformed its peer group, the Morningstar Corporate Bond category, which posted a -2.72% total return over the one-year time period.
Versus its benchmark, the fund benefited from its shorter-than-benchmark duration positioning and underweight to thirty-year securities. Interest rates rose and corporate bond spreads widened during the time period, which caused longer-term bonds to underperform shorter-term bonds. The fund also benefited from owning high yield bonds, which significantly outperformed investment grade bonds. The fund focused heavily on the new issue market where yield premiums were more attractive than those available in the secondary market. The flattening of the Treasury curve and the fund’s slight under-yield were the main detractors from relative performance to the benchmark. Versus the peer group, the fund under-performed largely due to a smaller weighting in lower-quality high yield bonds. On a duration basis, the fund continues to have an underweight to the thirty-year part of the yield curve, as we believe overall yields and credit spreads on corporate bonds remain too low given that we are in the latter stages of the credit cycle. Despite having a significantly lower duration than the benchmark, the fund is currently only slightly under-yielding the benchmark.

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.

Madison High Income Fund (Class A at NAV) returned -1.42% over the twelve-month period, underperforming the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Constrained Index benchmark return of 0.86%. The fund underperformed the Morningstar High Yield Bond category peer group, which returned 0.13% over the same period.
The high yield market experienced its third consecutive full-year of positive total returns. We believe gains have been supported by positive fundamental and economic data, along with a favorable political backdrop, which has offset the negative impact of rising interest rates.
Within the high yield rating categories, CCC-rated bonds had the best annual total return at 3.71%, while B-rated bonds experienced a 1.65% total return and BB-rated bonds trailed at -0.90%. The outperformance by the CCC category had a negative impact on fund performance as we were underweight lower quality bonds. We intend to maintain our bias towards higher quality credit and a relatively higher cash position, particularly given the currently unattractive valuations of lower-rated high yield bonds.
On a sector level, the fund had underexposure to two of the largest sectors in high yield, Healthcare and Telecommunications, both of which substantially outpaced the overall market return. The fund also underperformed in its bond selection within the Services, Consumer Goods and Energy sectors. Partially offsetting these negatives, the fund had a positive contribution to performance from lower exposure to the Automotive, Banking and Basic Industry sectors, all of which underperformed the overall market. The fund also benefited from bond selection in the Basic Industry

and Leisure sectors. The higher cash balance over the period had an immaterial impact on overall performance.
Going forward, the fund will continue to emphasize BB-rated and B-rated corporate bonds. Given unattractive high yield bond valuations, we believe conservative positioning remains prudent as there is likely limited potential upside while the potential downside is substantial. That said, the strong economy continues to be supportive and corporate profits are likely to be relatively stable in the near-term, although the political agenda is not likely to be as much of a catalyst going forward. We expect the Federal Reserve will continue to implement interest rate hikes in upcoming quarters with the frequency of hikes depending on many factors.
Regarding our market outlook for the next year, we anticipate high yield’s total return could be flat to down modestly. Thus, we anticipate a potential decline in bond prices could more than offset the positive return generated by the coupon income. At the sector level, we enter the year with an overweight in Consumer Goods and Services. We also have a modest overweight in Media and Retail. Our largest underweighted sectors include Healthcare, Basic Industry and Telecom. Our portfolio also has roughly half the exposure to CCC-rated bonds as does the Index.

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. Although the fund is permitted in invest up to 80% of its assets in lower credit quality bonds, under normal circumstances, 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 3.63% 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 2.71%. The fund beat its Morningstar Moderate Allocation category peer group, which advanced 0.15% over the last year.
The equity portion of the Madison Diversified Income Fund performed well compared to the S&P 500 Index. Sector allocation was detractive and stock selection was strong. For sector allocation, underweight positions in Technology and Consumer Discretionary adversely impacted the portfolio. In terms of stock selection, there were positive results in Industrials, Health Care, Materials, Technology, Financials and Communication Services, while there were negative results in Energy, Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary. In Materials, industrial gas distributor Praxair (PX) was the most additive stock in the portfolio. Within Financials, exchange operator CME Group (CME) was the best performing stock in the portfolio. In Consumer Discretionary, off-price retailer TJX Companies (TJX) contributed nicely to performance. Within Technology, internet router and software firm Cisco Systems (CSCO) outperformed the market. Another notable outperforming stock was pharmaceutical company Merck (MRK) in Health Care. On the negative side, in Energy, oilfield service firm Schlumberger (SLB) was the worst performing stock in the portfolio. Within Consumer Discretionary, cruise line operator Carnival (CCL) was the most detractive stock in the portfolio. Other notable underperforming stocks include analog semiconductor manufacturer Analog Devices (ADI) in Technology, property and casualty insurance firm Chubb (CB) in Financials, and coffee and pet food manufacturer J.M. Smucker (SJM) in Consumer Staples. The fund continues to hold all stocks mentioned above.

The fixed income portion of the Madison Diversified Income Fund also performed well over the last 12 months compared to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch US Corporate, Government, and Mortgage Index. Fixed income performance was significantly aided by the fund maintaining a more conservative duration posture relative to the benchmark during a period of rising interest rates. This conservative duration positioning helped protect principal during the trailing 12 months as 10-year U.S. Treasury rates rose from 2.37% (10/31/17) to 3.14% (10/31/18). The largest detractor to performance over the period was a significant flattening in the yield curve as short-term rates rose more quickly than long-term rates.
The Madison Diversified Income Fund remains well equipped to navigate a dynamic and changing investment landscape. The fund remains positioned with high quality stocks, and a conservative maturity posture and meaningful allocation to domestic credit and mortgage sectors in bonds. The Diversified Income Fund’s approach to both interest rate risk and sector allocations risk will help to protect client principal and provide the flexibility required to take advantage of opportunities as markets adjust to higher interest rates and equity market volatility.

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 4.29% for the one-year period, beating the passive strategy of its covered call benchmark, The CBOE S&P 500 Buy/Write® Index (BXM), which returned 3.16%. The fund also outperformed its Morningstar Options-Based category peer group, which returned -0.91% over the same period.
Volatility has returned to U.S. equity markets. All of 2017 was characterized by a very strong and relentless bull market which picked up steam as the year came to a close. The rally intensified in a parabolic fashion in January of 2018 until a relatively rare event occurred – the market corrected. The 10%+ correction in late January/early February was the first real hiccup in the longstanding bull market since early 2016. A subsequent rally was followed by another air pocket which retested the previous lows. Then, all seemed forgiven as the market rallied through the spring and summer months, reaching all-time highs in early September before rolling over into another 10% correction in October. Trade tensions, slowing global growth, political uncertainty and a pinch of market fatigue have seemingly weighed on investors who have become more skeptical of the market’s ability to sustain its long uptrend. As a conservative and hedged investment strategy, the fund has maintained this skepticism for quite some time and as the foundation of the bull market seems to be weakening, the conviction of our defensive focus grows stronger. Despite lagging the still positive returns of the S&P 500 over the past year, the performance gap has narrowed significantly. Importantly, the fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the CBOE S&P Buy/Write Index® (BXM) by over 100 basis points (net of all fees and expenses).
During the period, stock selection within the fund was a very strong contributor to total performance and it came from a diverse group of holdings. A top contributor was Nordstrom as the high quality retailer rebounded from the general malaise that has threatened its weaker mall-based competitors. Technology holdings Seagate Technology and Ciena also performed very strongly, as did NRG Energy, an independent power producer, and Steel Dynamics, a diversified steel producer. Partially offsetting the strong overall stock performance was weakness in consumer driven companies that were impacted by trade tensions including Whirlpool and General Motors. On the Healthcare front, Baxter International weakened

late in the period on an unexpectedly soft quarterly earnings report and Cerner underperformed earlier in the year on uncertainty over the timing of a large contract with the Veteran’s Administration. On the Energy front, Baker Hughes has been held back due to the uncertainty surrounding the expected disposition of majority holder General Electric’s large stake.
From a sector allocation perspective, the fund’s general overweight in Materials stocks was punished by the constantly changing status of the global trade conflict. Given the uncertainty, and the resulting strength of the U.S. dollar, the sector was the worst performer within the S&P 500® Index over the period and was the primary detractor from sector allocation. Despite the increased volatility over the course of the period, the market managed an upper single digit return and cash held during the year was a small drag on performance. Similarly, the call option overlay, while helping in market downtrends, also dampens performance during the uptrends. From an income generation perspective, the fund has continued to generate a very attractive yield which is within our expected range.
Covered call writing, as a strategy, is designed to provide a level of protection from uncertain and volatile equity markets. For the first time in many years, such an environment appears to be asserting itself and the benefits of a more defensive investment approach are being increasingly valued. 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.

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 and trades at a high relative dividend yield due to issues viewed by the adviser as temporary, among other characteristics.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The Madison Large Cap Value Fund will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its net assets 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.

Relative to the index, sector allocation was detractive while stock selection was additive. For sector allocation, underweight positions in Materials and Telecommunication Services negatively impacted results, which were partially offset by an overweight position in Utilities. In terms of stock selection, there were additive results in Industrials, Utilities and Telecommunication Services, while Energy, Real Estate and Health Care detracted from relative performance. In Industrials, engineering and construction firm Jacobs Engineering (JEC) contributed nicely to results. Within Utilities, independent power producer NRG Energy (NRG) was the best performing and most additive stock in the fund, and power generation firm AES (AES) was also additive to performance. In Materials, iron ore producer Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) was a strong performing stock, while hard disk drive manufacturer Seagate Technology (STX) was another notable outperforming stock. On the negative side, in Energy, oilfield services firm Haliburton (HAL) was the most detractive stock in the fund. Oil producer Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) was another stock that underperformed in that sector. Within Materials, gold producer Newmont Mining (NEM) negatively impacted the fund, along with chemical and agricultural firm Dow DuPont (DWDP). Lastly, within Healthcare, medical device manufacturer Baxter International (BAX) held back results. The fund sold CNQ, HAL, NEM and STX and continues to hold the other stocks mentioned above.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The Madison Investors Fund invests primarily in the common stocks of established, high-quality growth companies selected via bottom-up fundamental analysis. The fund typically owns 25-40 securities which have demonstrated stable revenue and earnings growth patterns, have 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 changed, or the portfolio managers find a more attractive alternative.

The Madison Investors Fund (Class Y) returned 8.75% for the year ended, outperforming the S&P 500® Index advance of 7.35% for the same period. The fund modestly outperformed its Morningstar Large Growth peer group, which averaged 8.58%.
The period was characterized by strong return performance for faster growing, higher valuation multiple stocks (“growth stocks”) and more modest returns for all other stocks. The fund managers found opportunities to sell and trim portfolio stocks with growth stock characteristics and to add stocks at more reasonable valuation levels. This activity led to fund turnover of over 35%, which is near the top end of the fund’s expected annual turnover range. We believe the turnover has been productive because it related to improving the risk-reward proposition of the fund.
For the year, the fund enjoyed strong returns from its holdings in the Industrial sector, which was its best performing sector. This is attributable to the fact that most of the fund’s Industrial holdings are service companies rather than cyclical, heavy-industry businesses. These Industrial service holdings posted strong sales and earnings performances over the past year. The fund also enjoyed good returns from its Specialty Retail holdings. We believe widespread pessimism in 2017 encompassing retailers perceived to be victims of Amazon.com created investment opportunities for some retail stocks that were competitively well-positioned. The retail investments the fund established during this time bore fruit in 2018.
The fund’s Financials, Consumer Staples, Materials, and Health Care holdings experienced returns that were similar to the corresponding benchmark sectors such that these sectors were roughly neutral to relative performance.
The Information Technology Sector was a strong sector for the S&P 500 over the past year. The fund’s holdings in the sector underperformed their benchmark comparison in aggregate. The portfolio managers added an Information Technology consulting stock and an analog semiconductor stock over the course of the year that we expect to contribute positively to future returns.

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.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison Mid Cap Fund - continued | October 31, 2018
The Madison Mid Cap Fund (Class Y) returned 8.55% for the annual period, outperforming its benchmark Russell Midcap® Index return of 2.79%. The fund outperformed its peer group, the Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth category, which returned 5.19% for the same period.
Strong stock selection helped to overcome unfavorable sector allocation during the past 12 months. The Mid Cap Fund was underweight in the three strongest sectors of the benchmark – Communication Services, Consumer Staples and Information Technology. We were also hurt by an overweighting in Materials, which was the worst performing sector. Excellent relative performances from our holdings in Industrials, Consumer Discretionary and Financials more than offset these allocation headwinds. Our top individual contributors were Copart, O’Reilly Automotive, Ross Stores, TJX Companies and CDW. Our largest detractors were Crown Holdings, Axalta Coating Systems, Mohawk Industries, Arch Capital and CarMax.
Copart is an auctioneer of salvaged cars. Copart delivered another year of healthy unit volume growth. The robust performance was driven by strength in both core domestic salvage operations and non-salvage operations. CDW is a value-added distributor selling hardware, software and services from thousands of vendors. The company is benefitting from secular growth in Information Technology spending. O’Reilly Automotive owns and operates auto parts stores. In its latest quarterly results, O’Reilly saw same-store sales growth pick up to slightly more than 4%. This level is just about in-line with O’Reilly’s historical average. The stock price has closely followed this improvement in sales. Ross Stores and TJX Companies both operate off-price retail concepts. Off-price retail has consistently taken share from department stores and specialty apparel stores due to its affordable, exciting and ever-changing assortment of merchandise.
Crown Holdings, a global can maker, surprised investors last December when they decided to lever up and acquire a transit packaging company. This news was disappointing, but valuation is now extremely cheap, the integration has gone well and the core business is growing nicely. The recent spike in oil prices has weighed on margins at Mohawk and Axalta. Both of these businesses rely heavily on petroleum-derived inputs in their manufacturing processes. This raw material inflation is largely a cyclical phenomenon. We believe Mohawk and Axalta will eventually improve profitability through price increases and productivity initiatives.

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.

The Madison Small Cap Fund (Class Y) returned -2.73% for the twelve-month period, trailing the returns of both the Russell 2000® Index return of 1.85% and the Russell 2000 Value® Index return of -0.59%. The fund also lagged its Morningstar Small Blend category peer group, which returned -0.16% over the period.
Sector allocation, a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, was the primary driver of underperformance. An overweight to Industrials and underweight to the Health Care and Consumer Discretionary sectors detracted most. Security selection contributed modestly during the period as strong selection in the Industrials and Materials sectors aided performance. Weaker selection in Information Technology, Real Estate, and Consumer Staples partially offset positive selection.
The fund’s top detractors from relative performance during the period included Belden, a provider of signal transmission solutions for customers in enterprise and industrial end-markets; Mueller Industries, a manufacturer of water supply infrastructure products; and Diebold Nixdorf, a global provider of ATMs, point-

of-sale (POS) and self-checkout systems. We eliminated our position in Diebold Nixdorf during the period after the shares experienced a significant decline when the company announced another disappointing quarter and outlook. The fund’s top contributors to relative performance during the period included FTI Consulting, a business advisory firm; Luxfer Holdings, a manufacturer of high-pressure cylinders and specialty materials; and Haemonetics, a global provider of blood and plasma supplies and services. We eliminated our position in Haemonetics during the period as the company neared our price target.
The fund’s investment approach emphasizes individual stock selection; sector weights are a residual of the bottom-up investment process. The manager does, however, carefully consider diversification across economic sectors seeking to limit risk. During the period we initiated new positions including Union Bankshares (Financials), Physicians Realty Trust (Real Estate), Alexander & Baldwin (Real Estate), and American Woodmark (Industrials). We eliminated Hancock Whitney (Financials), Haemonetics (Health Care) and Education Realty Trust (Real Estate). As of the end of the period, the fund was most overweight in the Industrials and Materials sectors, and most underweight in the Health Care and Information Technology sectors, relative to the Russell 2000 Index. Based on our long-term time horizon, we continue to find opportunities created by the inefficiencies frequently found among small cap companies.

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.

The Madison International Stock Fund (Class A at NAV) returned -6.94% for the twelve-month period, slightly lagging the -6.85% return of its benchmark MSCI EAFE Index (net). The fund outperformed the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend category peer group’s return of -8.17% over the same span.
Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector helped relative returns during the period as shares of Don Quijote, a Japanese discount retailer that focuses on lower gross margin household items to drive store traffic, performed well. The conversion of their recent acquisition, FamilyMart Uny supermarkets, has been progressing well, driving earnings higher. In October, the stock rose almost 20% after announcing another significant transaction with Family Mart. This involves Don Quijote taking full control of the struggling Uny chain of stores, while Family Mart will tender for 20% of Don Quijote shares in the market. Stock selection and a lower-than-benchmark weight in the Financial sector was also beneficial to relative returns. Aon, a UK-based global insurance broker, rose 10% during the period. Our thesis of accelerating organic growth, improving margins and free cash flow conversion due to their innovation and scale, continues to play out at this global insurance broker. Elsewhere, stock selection in the Health Care sector helped relative returns. Shares of UK-based specialty pharmaceutical company Shire continued to perform well as a result of the proposed acquisition by Takeda Pharmaceuticals. The share price continues to trade near the deal price as the arbitrage spread between the two companies continues to narrow. Lastly, the portfolio’s greater-than-benchmark weight to the outperforming Energy sector positively contributed to performance.
In contrast, the portfolio’s holdings in Emerging Markets hurt relative returns. Turkcell, the largest mobile and fixed line data provider in Turkey, with 70 million subscribers in nine countries, declined over 50% during the period. We exited our position due to macroeconomic challenges continuing to negatively impact the stock as the Turkish lira declined further amid the tense political environment, which we consider unlikely to be resolved in the short-term. Another stock that hurt relative performance was Cielo, a leading credit card acquirer in Brazil where card penetration remains low, thereby allowing for long-term secular growth. The company had been hurt by macro headwinds affecting the Brazilian equity
17

market. Concerns over the 2018 presidential election, along with fears that the Brazilian economic recovery remains lackluster, were amplified by the weakening of the Brazilian amidst U.S. dollar strength and the general emerging markets equity selloff. We believe credit card penetration will continue to structurally expand, the payments business is sticky and challenging for competitors to disrupt and we have seen card volumes more recently improve. Lastly, the fund’s lower-than-benchmark weight in Japan hurt relative returns. However, positive stock selection within Japan significantly contributed to performance and exceeded the negative attribution from out underweight position in the country.
Overall, the portfolio team remains confident that, by continuing to focus on stock selection, and seeking to find stocks with sustainably high or improving returns trading at attractive valuations, the strong long-term track record of the funds will 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. | |

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 may not be purchased or acquired, except by exchange from Class B shares of another Madison Fund, or through dividend and/or capital gains reinvestments. Shareholders with investments in Class B shares of the funds may continue to hold such shares until they convert to Class A shares.
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 Depository 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. They are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services approved by the Trust. 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 fair 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. Over-the-counter options are valued based upon prices provided by market makers in such securities or dealers in such currencies. 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 fair 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 of Trustees. 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.
57
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2018
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 an Allocation Fund to do the same because of delays in obtaining the Underlying Fund’s NAV.
A fund’s investments 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 March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is still evaluating the impacts this ASU will have on the financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in the ASU impact disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. It is anticipated that this change will enhance the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and can include the entire standard or certain provisions that exclude or amend disclosures. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the funds have chosen to adopt the standard. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.
In August 2018, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform them to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for investment companies. These amendments made certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements under Regulation S-X. These amendments became effective for filings made with the SEC after November 5, 2018. The funds’ adoption of these amendments, effective with the financial statements prepared as of October 31, 2018, required modified disclosures reflected herein, but had no effect on the funds’ net assets or results of operations.
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 funds are 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, 2018, 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 funds’ books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency-denominated transactions (i.e., fair 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 Covered Call & Equity Fund, International Stock Fund, Large Cap Fund and Small Cap Fund had net realized gains of $159, $1,991, $565 and $1,876, 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 Fund, 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. During the year ended October 31, 2018, none of the funds had open forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
58
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2018
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 a security that a fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the security. At October 31, 2018, 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 fair 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, 2018, none of the funds had entered into such transactions.
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 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, 2018 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. 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, 2018, 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, 2018, 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):

Each of the Government Money Market, Core Bond, High Income, Diversified Income, Large Cap Value, Investors, Mid Cap, Small Cap, and International Stock Funds’ advisory fee will be reduced by 0.05% on assets exceeding $500 million, and by another 0.05% on assets exceeding $1 billion. The Investment Adviser is solely responsible for the payment of all fees to the Subadvisers. The Subadvisers for the funds at October 31, 2018, are Wellington Management Company, LLP for the Small Cap Fund and Lazard Asset Management LLC for the International Stock Fund.
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 has contractually agreed to waive a portion of advisory fees on the Government Money Market Fund Class A Shares and Class B Shares until February 27, 2019, for the purpose of maintaining a one day yield of zero.

The direct expenses of the funds’ Independent Trustees and independent auditors are paid out of this fee on behalf of the funds.
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 has contractually agreed to waive a portion of service agreement fees on the Government Money Market Fund Class A Shares and Class B Shares until at least February 27, 2019. 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, 2018, no services fees were waived. A portion of the Dividend Income Fund’s annual service fee, 0.05%, is being waived by the Investment Adviser until February 27, 2019. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the waivers totaled $56,210 for Dividend Income Fund and are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Investment Adviser does not have the right to recoup any of these waived fees.
Shareholder Service and Distribution Plans (Rule 12b-1). The Trust 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 Servicing & 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:

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, 2018, the waivers totaled $179 and is 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, 2018, were as follows:

Other Expenses: In addition to the fees described above, the funds are responsible for brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of investments, costs of borrowing money, overdrafts and 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 Virginia, Tax-Free National, 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

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 pursues 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.
62
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2018
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 fair 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. See Note 2 for information on derivatives.
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 fair 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. During the year ended October 31, 2018, the fund did not enter into any futures contracts.
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 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
The Board of Trustees has 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 domestic securities and 105% of non-domestic securities. The loaned securities and collateral are marked to market daily to maintain collateral at 102% of the total loaned portfolio for each broker/borrower. 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 loss associated with investment of cash and non-cash collateral. A secondary risk 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 do not have a master netting agreement.
As of October 31, 2018, the aggregate fair value of securities on loan for the Madison fund family was $25,166,182. Cash collateral received for such loans are reinvested into the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio. Non-cash collateral is invested in U.S. Treasuries or Government securities. See below for fair value on loan and collateral breakout for each fund and each respective fund’s portfolio of investments for individual securities identified on loan.

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, 2018. 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 2015-2018.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2018 and 2017 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, 2018, 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 fair 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.
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 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 fair 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
65
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - concluded | October 31, 2018
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 and 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Madison Funds:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Madison Funds (the “Funds”) comprising the Madison Conservative Allocation Fund, Madison Moderate Allocation Fund, Madison Aggressive Allocation Fund, Madison Government Money Market Fund, 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, including the portfolios of investments as of October 31, 2018, 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 for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the funds constituting the Madison Funds as of October 31, 2018, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DISCUSSION OF CONTRACT RENEWAL PROCESS AND CONSIDERATIONS
At an in-person meeting of the Board held on July 26-27, 2018, 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 (together, the “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 2018 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.
With regard to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, the Board reviewed the biographies and tenure of the personnel involved in Trust management and the experience of the Adviser (and applicable Sub-Adviser) 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 Sub-Adviser 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 Trustees also noted their familiarity with the Adviser and its affiliates due to the Adviser’s history of providing advisory services to its proprietary investment company clients.
The Board also discussed the quality of services provided to the Trust by its applicable transfer agent, fund administrator and custodian as well as the various administrative services provided directly by the Adviser. Such services included arranging for third party service providers to provide all necessary administration as well as supervising any sub-advisers to fund portfolios.
Based on their review of the information provided, the Board determined with respect to each fund that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser (and Sub-Adviser, as applicable) to the fund were satisfactory.
With regard to the investment performance of the Trust and the investment adviser, the Board reviewed current performance information provided in the written Board materials. They discussed the reasons for both outperformance and underperformance compared with peer groups and applicable 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. They reviewed both long-term and short-term performance and considered the effect on long-term performance that may have been attributable to any previous investment advisers/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 on a quarterly basis, they review 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 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 Sub-Adviser that manages a sub-advised fund. In connection with the review of performance, the Board engaged in a robust and comprehensive discussion of market conditions and discussed the reasons for any fund performance under such conditions. 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 Board determined that, given the totality of the above factors and considerations, each fund’s overall investment performance had been satisfactory.
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 Trust, the Board reviewed the expense ratios for a variety of other funds in each fund’s peer group with similar investment objectives. Again, the Board reviewed these matters in connection with the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser that manages a sub-advised fund.
The Board noted that the Adviser or its affiliates, and, as applicable, each Sub-Adviser, provided investment management services to other investment company and/or non-investment company clients and considered the fees charged by the Adviser (and respective Sub-Adviser) to such funds and clients for purposes of determining whether the given advisory fee was disproportionately large under the so-called Gartenberg standard traditionally used by investment company boards
68
Madison Funds | Other Information (unaudited) - continued | October 31, 2018
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 Sub-Adviser, 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 turnover of mutual fund assets. 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 Sub-Adviser, 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 Sub-Adviser, if applicable) may act as either investment adviser or Sub-Adviser, the Board noted that the fee may be lower than the fee charged to the Trust. The Board noted too the various administrative, operational, compliance, legal and corporate communication services required to be handled by the Adviser (or Sub-Adviser, 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 Board reviewed total expense ratios paid by other funds with similar investment objectives, recognizing that such a comparison, while not dispositive, was an important consideration.
The Trustees sought to ensure that fees paid by the Trust were appropriate. 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 agreement with the Trust (or series, as the case may be) (“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 simple comparison of basic “investment management only” fee schedules.
The Board recognized that to the extent a fund invests in other mutual funds also managed by the Adviser (or its affiliates), the Adviser (or an affiliate) receives investment advisory fees from both the fund and the underlying mutual 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 mutual funds in which each such fund invests in exchange for the fees received from them.
In reviewing costs and profits, 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 portfolios 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 a consolidated family of investment companies. The Trustees noted that total assets managed by the Adviser and its affiliates were 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 Board 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 the Sub-Advisers, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees payable under the Sub-Advisory Agreements are paid by the Adviser out of the fees that it receives under the Advisory Agreement and were negotiated by the Adviser at arm’s length. As a consequence, the profitability to each Sub-Adviser of its relationship with the applicable fund was not a substantial factor in the Board’s deliberations.
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 an applicable Services Agreement, as the case may be) with regard to: the Government Money Market Fund and Dividend Income Fund. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Advisers’ sub-advisory fees and those fees are negotiated at arm’s length by the Adviser, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in the Sub-Advisers’ management of the applicable funds to be a material factor in its consideration.
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 its review, the Board 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.
Counsel to the Independent Trustees confirmed that the Trust’s Independent Trustees had met previously and reviewed the written contract renewal materials provided by the Adviser and applicable Sub-Advisers. It was noted that the Independent Trustees had considered such materials in light of the Gartenberg standard as well as criteria either set forth or discussed in the Supreme Court decision in Jones v. Harris regarding the investment company contract renewal process under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Independent Trustees made a variety of additional inquiries regarding such written materials to the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers and representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, respectively, and discussed each matter raised.
In considering the renewal of the funds’ Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, 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 Board 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 Advisory (and, as applicable, Sub-Advisory) Agreement, among others: (a) the Adviser (and Sub-Adviser, as applicable) demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (b) the Adviser (and Sub-Adviser, as applicable) 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 (and, as applicable, sub-advisory) fee is reasonable in light of the services received by the fund from the Adviser (and, as applicable, Sub-Adviser) and other factors considered; and (e) the Adviser’s (and Sub-Adviser’s, as applicable) investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objectives of the fund. Based on the foregoing conclusions, the Board determined with respect to each fund that continuation of the Advisory Agreement with the Adviser was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders, and that with respect to those funds that are sub-advised, continuation of such fund’s Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders. Moreover, the Board determined that renewal of the Services Agreements for those funds with such agreements currently in place was in the best interests of each respective 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, 2018. 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 184/365 (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.
