Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance(unaudited)
Period in Review
The one-year period ended October 31, 2019 was a solid one for both domestic stocks and bonds. The S&P 500® Index returned 14.33% for the year, with positive returns in 2019 offsetting weakness in the final months of 2018. The Barclays Aggregate Index had a banner 11.51% one-year period as rates drifted lower throughout the period. The yield on the 10-year Treasury began the period near a multi-year high at 3.14% and ended the period at 1.69%, up from the period low of 1.46% on September 3, 2019. International returns were positive as well, as the broad MSCI EAFE Index (net) rose 11.04%, somewhat behind the U.S. market, reflecting the relative strength of the U.S. economy compared to most of the rest of the world.
The Federal Reserve (Fed) Board initiated three “insurance” rate cuts during the one-year period, seeking to insulate the current economic expansion against growing headwinds. This was accompanied with debate over the source of slowing growth and how much monetary policy can help. Indeed, Fed Chairman Powell characterized their actions as a mid-cycle adjustment. However, it is important to note that the decision to cut rates and the magnitude of the adjustment, was not unanimous amongst the voting Fed members. The division over the appropriate policy level of rates was driven by disagreement about how far along we were in this economic cycle as well as uncertainty about the root cause of the sub-par growth. We believe that interest rates, particularly following two additional 0.25% cuts, are now quite accommodative.
All of these positive index numbers should not suggest indiscriminate advances for all securities. In fact, the returns were often quite varied across asset classes, based on stock size and sector, and for bonds, based on quality. Much of the stock market return was concentrated in a select number of large stocks, primarily in the technology and social networking arena. Smaller stocks in aggregate trailed the overall market with the Russell Midcap® Index returning 13.72% and the Russell 2000® Index of small-cap stocks returning just 4.90%.
Technology stocks advanced 22.5% during the year, while the Energy Sector struggled, losing -10.6%. The Energy Sector is particularly vulnerable to global economic weakness and there was considerable evidence of that weakness, as central banks in Europe and Japan continued to apply maximum stimulation, including negative rates on bonds. The Chinese economy, the world’s second largest, had been slowing for some time, and 2019 reports indicated that its rate of growth was the slowest since the early 1990s as it faced domestic issues and the impact of the U.S.-led trade war. The Health Care Sector was another drag on index performance as it returned 8.6%, in part due to the overhang of promised health care reform by the leading Democratic presidential candidates.
While employment numbers and the related consumer confidence numbers continued to be robust, the quality of those jobs has been debated. Manufacturing and capital expenditures showed increasing strains through the period as uncertainty over trade policies cast a shadow over many global businesses. The Fed monitors these indicators carefully and showed its concern by lowering interest rates by a quarter of a percent three times in 2019. Partly due to these rate reductions, the yield curve inverted in August, when short term bonds break the normal mold by yielding more than longer-term bonds. While the actual inversion was very short-lived, it raised further concerns about the future economy, since recessions often are preceded by this effect (although the reverse is not always true when it comes to inversions predicting recessions).
Looking ahead we share the general concerns over the unpredictable tariff and trade war situation, the economic troubles abroad and the unknown effects of what is almost certain to be a divisive presidential campaign. We believe that uncertain times are when you are most likely to be best served by the kind of careful attention to individual securities and broad trends through active management that we apply across all of the Madison Funds.

ALLOCATION FUNDS SUMMARY
The Madison Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation and Aggressive Allocation Funds invest primarily in shares of registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The funds are diversified among a number of asset classes and their allocation among Underlying Funds are based on an asset allocation model developed by Madison Asset Management, LLC (“Madison”), the funds’ investment adviser. The team may use multiple analytical approaches to determine the appropriate asset allocation, including:
● | Asset allocation optimization analysis – considers the degree to which returns in different asset classes do or do not move together, and the funds’ aim to achieve a favorable overall risk profile for any targeted portfolio return. |
● | Scenario analysis– historical and expected return data is analyzed to model how individual asset classes and combinations of asset classes would affect the funds under different economic and market conditions. |
● | Fundamental analysis – draws upon Madison’s investment teams to judge each asset class against current and forecasted market conditions. Economic, industry and security analysis is used to develop return and risk expectations that may influence asset class selection. In addition, Madison has a flexible mandate which permits the funds, at the sole discretion of Madison, to materially reduce equity risk exposures when and if conditions are deemed to warrant such an action. |
MADISON CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
Under normal circumstances, the Madison Conservative Allocation Fund’s total net assets will be allocated among various asset classes and Underlying Funds, including those whose shares trade on a stock exchange (exchange traded funds or “ETFs”), with target allocations over time of approximately 35% equity investments and 65% fixed income investments. Underlying Funds in which the fund invests may include funds advised by Madison and/or its affiliates, including other Madison Funds (the “Affiliated Underlying Funds”). Generally, Madison will not invest more than 75% of the fund’s net assets, at the time of purchase, in Affiliated Underlying Funds.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
Madison Conservative Allocation Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 10.37% for the one-year period, compared to its Conservative Allocation Custom benchmark’s 12.37%. The Fund’s peer group, Morningstar Allocation 30-50% Equity, returned 9.31%. Major asset classes posted double digit returns over the trailing year; U.S. equities (Russell 3000 Index) 13.5%, International equities (MSCI ACWI ex USA Index) 11.3% and U.S. bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) 11.5%. However, when measuring performance over a relatively short period of time, the starting date can mask the larger picture. Case-in-point, equity markets had experienced a material correction in October 2018, with U.S. stocks declining -7.4% and International stocks dropping -8.1%. Recalculating returns to include this downdraft results in 13-month returns of 5.1% for U.S. stocks, and 2.2% for International equities. Starkly different results, and as more defensively-minded practitioners, the protection we provided in a very challenging month was lost to the turning of the calendar.
As alluded to above, the greatest detractor to performance was the Fund’s defensive positioning. The Fund carried high cash allocations throughout the period due to our concerns over slowing global growth and declining U.S. corporate earnings expectations. However, despite a couple brief periods of trade-war concerns, markets have generally looked past the deteriorating economic and earnings outlook and focused instead on easier monetary policy by central banks to push equities to record levels. Interestingly, the Fund’s single largest contribution came from our long-term U.S. Treasury position, which returned over 27% for the period, as interest rates plunged during this risk-on period. Exceptionally strong performance from our core U.S. equity holdings, as well as relative overweight allocations to U.S. large cap versus small cap, and U.S. versus international equities helped offset our risk-light positioning.
Moving forward we see little reason to move away from our guarded posturing. Global economic growth remains weak, the U.S./China trade war continues to linger, and 2019 U.S. earnings growth expectations have declined from over 10% year-over-year to below 2% year-over-year in the past 12 months. Further, analysts are expecting 10% earnings growth for 2020, which seems highly unlikely given below average economic growth and increased wage pressures. It seems unusual that markets would continue to march to all-time highs given this backdrop. The markets appear to be more concerned with increased central bank intervention than economic growth and fundamentals. Given our participate and protect philosophy, and what we are seeing in the data and valuations, we believe it is prudent to be vigilant in our risk taking.

MADISON MODERATE ALLOCATION FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
Under normal circumstances, the Madison Moderate 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 60% equity investments and 40% fixed income investments. Underlying Funds in which the fund invests may include 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.

MADISON GOVERNMENT MONEY MARKET FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The Madison Government Money Market Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by cash or government securities, including but not limited to the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporate, and Federal Farm Credit Banks.
The Fund is a money market fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value (“NAV”) of $1.00 per share. The Fund’s investments must have a remaining maturity of no more than 397 days and must be high quality. The Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 60 days or less.
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
The Madison Government Money Market (Class A at NAV) returned 1.75% for the one-year period. The Fund’s peer group, Morningstar Taxable Money Market returned 1.84%. The unmanaged, fee-free return of the Fund’s 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill benchmark returned 2.35%. For many years following the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve (Fed) pinned rates near zero. Since money market rates are closely associated with the Fed funds rate, Madison Government Money Market paid no dividends for much of this period. In late 2015 the Fed moved the funds rate up a quarter percent and continued to gradually increase the rate nine times, to a range of 2.25% to 2.5%, including three rate increases in 2019. However, concern about global and domestic economic growth prompted the Fed to lower rates a quarter percent in July, 2019, the first rate drop in a decade, and proceeded to make two more rate cuts through September. These actions had the effect of reducing the rate of return for Government Money Market, which ended the period with a SEC yield of 1.32%.

MADISON TAX-FREE VIRGINIA FUND
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 7.78% for the one-year period, underperforming the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-22 Year Municipal Securities Index, which returned 8.65%. The Morningstar Municipal Single State Intermediate peer group returned 7.33% for the period.
The Fund’s relative performance is attributable to yield curve positioning, sector allocation and security selection within the BBB quality bucket. Specific to maturity profile, the Fund benefited from the less-than-benchmark exposure to maturities less than five years as well as its slightly higher exposure to maturities between eight and 17 years where the yield curve was more positively sloped. Also additive to return was the Fund’s allocation to local general obligation bonds and revenue bonds which outperformed general obligations issued by the state of Virginia. Although the Fund was less exposed to BBB-rated issues, positive relative performance was generated by the Fund’s lower quality securities which held their value better as risk premiums shifted.
The municipal bond market has benefited from the favorable U.S. economic environment as evidenced by increasing state and local tax receipts as well as benign default trends. Most state and local governments appear to be on solid financial footing with no immediate need to battle budget woes. Fortunately for these issuers, history suggests tax receipts are likely to keep growing until the U.S. economy contracts. However, over the longer term we believe many municipalities are faced with not necessarily new but difficult challenges such as limited federal funding, unfunded pension liabilities and climate-related events. Typically, these general obligations issuers have enough time to formulate and implement corrective actions.
We envision demand for tax-exempt securities to remain robust during the coming quarters as higher wage earners reposition assets to lessen federal taxes. Lower corporate tax rates amplify the likelihood institutional investors will have a diminished appetite for federally tax-exempt holdings. This is especially true for banks which have reduced muni holdings in recent quarters. The supply of muni bonds is apt to remain in-line with investor demand as issuers take advantage of lower interest rates by refunding higher cost debt and funding approved projects. However, we anticipate tax-exempt investors will become more attentive to the absolute level of yields as well as relative valuations versus other fixed income sectors.
In general, investors seem to be geared towards locking in the highest yields possible while dismissing signs of potential trouble spots percolating within the muni market. While it is true muni defaults are rare, the number of impairments is experiencing an upsurge. The good news is a vast majority of impairments and defaults are within the riskiest sectors including retirement communities, local housing, land secured, charter schools and hospitals. Without taking uncompensated risk, we foresee tax-exempt investors taking advantage of the upward sloping muni curve by positioning a portion of holdings beyond 12 years. In addition, the nearly identical yields for munis with maturities less than seven years poses an opportunity for investors to reposition five-to-seven-year paper into shorter maturities. The result of this two-pronged approach is a barbell portfolio (e.g. a portfolio with limited intermediate maturities). Lastly, we believe uncertainties about the economy and investors’ potential reactions to tax-exempt headlines warrants swapping lower quality holdings into higher quality credits.

MADISON HIGH QUALITY BOND FUND
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 6.43% for the one-year period, lagging the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit A+ Bond Index, which returned 8.18%. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Short-Term Bond category peer group’s return of 4.85% over the same period.
Relative performance over this period was largely a duration story. In a period of falling interest rates, the value of longer bonds with a built-in yield advantage rises. Longer bonds, in general, outperformed shorter bonds. As a result, Fund performance versus the benchmark was adversely impacted by its relatively conservative duration posture over the trailing 12-month period. The largest impact was a result of underweighting 7-10 year Treasury securities as they rallied sharply over the period. Conversely the Fund is currently in the Morningstar Short-Term Bond category which it outperformed as a result of having a longer average duration than the typical Fund within that category.
The past twelve months have brought increased volatility to financial markets as heightened domestic and geopolitical uncertainty cast doubt upon growth prospects around the world. Against this backdrop, central banks around the world extended their efforts to ease monetary policy. Citing slowing global growth and uncertainties around trade, the Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) pivoted toward more accommodative policy as they lowered the federal funds rate three times in 2019 at the July, September, and October Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings, bringing the target range to 1.50%-1.75%.
In response, Treasury yields moved sharply lower over the period. The 10-year Treasury note which began the period at 2.85%, traded as low as 1.46% in early September before closing the period at 1.49%, a decline of nearly 133 basis points (a basis point is one one-hundredth of a percent). Lower yields translated into positive returns for bond holders over the period. Overall, fixed income returns remain strong across asset classes for the trailing twelve-month period with the highest relative returns going to longer, lower quality, asset classes.
Fixed income investors have been rewarded handsomely over the past year, as yields have fallen, enjoying above-average returns. From this point forward, yields appear fully valued, elevating risk levels. With that in mind, our intent at the end of the period was to position portfolios with a defensive duration posture and high-quality bias designed to protect principal should rates rise or volatility increase.

MADISON CORE BOND FUND
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.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison Core Bond Fund - continued | October 31, 2019
The Madison Core Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 10.67% for the one-year period, lagging the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index®, which gained 11.51%. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Intermediate Core Bond peer group, which gained 10.23% for the period.
The primary drivers of Fund performance versus the benchmark over the last year was owning longer maturity Treasuries as well as shorter maturity corporate and securitized bonds. Performance was also impacted by the yield advantage over the benchmark. The Fund had a yield advantage of thirty basis points (a basis point is one one-hundredth of a percent) during the last year. This was primarily due to an overweight to corporate and securitized bonds. The Fund also held a small position in high-yield corporate bonds which helped the overall portfolio yield.
The Fund’s securitized bond allocation underperformed the Bloomberg Barclay’s U.S. Securitized Index® over the one-year period. The Fund’s positions in non-agency mortgage backed securities (MBS) and an overweight to fifteen-year MBS both detracted from performance. A significant amount of the non-agency MBS owned was backed by borrowers with large mortgage balances. As interest rates fell, the incentive for these borrowers to refinance increased thus reducing the value of non-agency MBS. The Fund’s allocation to fifteen-year and twenty-year MBS dragged on performance given the underperformance versus thirty-year MBS on a total return basis given falling interest rates.
Finally, the Fund benefited from a slightly longer duration on average during the trailing one-year period. Since October 2018, the two-year, ten-year and thirty-year Treasury yields fell 134, 145 and 121 basis points, respectively. The Fund’s duration was between 95% and 105% of the benchmark’s over the last year. The Fund has an overweight to twenty and thirty-year Treasury bonds which performed well over the last year given lower inflation and slowing economic growth.
Looking forward, the Fund’s managers plan to reduce exposure to corporate bonds given historically tight valuations and slightly worsening fundamentals. Any proceeds from the sale of corporate bond will likely be used to buy more MBS and Treasuries to increase the overall quality of the Fund.

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

It was a strong year for corporate bond returns as Madison Corporate Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 14.32% for the period, trailing its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index, which returned 15.37%. The Fund’s Morningstar Corporate Bond peer group returned 13.29% for the same period. Versus its benchmark, the Fund benefited from its overweight of BBB securities and some new issue purchases, where yield premiums were more attractive than those available in the secondary market. However, the Fund was negatively impacted by its lower duration than the benchmark and its underweight to the thirty-year part of the yield curve. Interest rates fell significantly during the past year, which caused longer-term securities to significantly outperform shorter-term securities. Despite having a lower duration than the benchmark, the Fund’s yield to maturity is close to the benchmark. Versus the peer group, the Fund outperformed over the past year due to its longer duration than its peers and its underweight to lower-quality high yield securities. Lower-quality high yield securities posted negative total returns over the past year, as investors remain concerned about more-challenged companies being able to repay or refinance their large debt loads given weaker global growth and the potential for slowing growth in the United States.

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

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison High Income Fund (Class Y) returned 6.07% over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2019, lagging the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Constrained Index’s ®8.32% total return. The Fund also trailed its Morningstar High Yield Bond Category peer group, which returned 7.06%.
The high yield market experienced its fourth consecutive full-year of positive total returns. We believe the strong positive trend over the past year was driven by several ongoing factors, including 1) multiple interest rate cuts, which supported a rally in treasury bond prices and, thus, higher prices for high yield bonds; 2) a strong new issue market for high yield bonds, which has allowed companies to refinance debt at very attractive coupons; and 3) solid company-specific fundamentals, on the whole.
Within the high yield rating categories, BB-rated bonds had the best annual total return at 11.75%, while B-rated bonds trailed at 7.34% and CCC-rated bonds experienced a loss of -3.03%. While higher quality credit performed well, much of the outperformance occurred in longer-duration bonds that mature in seven years or greater. The total return of the longer-duration bonds nearly doubled the total return of shorter duration bonds that mature in five years or less. The Fund was underweight longer-duration bonds during the year.
The Fund’s performance was negatively impacted by a high cash balance in a rising market while the comparable benchmark has no cash balance. In addition, the Fund’s performance was hampered by underexposure to the volatile Basic Industry Sector, in tandem with sluggish returns from bond selection within that same sector. The Fund also underperformed in its bond selection within the Services and Media Sectors. Partially offsetting these negatives, the Fund had a positive contribution to performance from its bond selection within the Energy and Telecommunications Sectors, as well as having an overweight in the Consumer Goods Sector.
With the recent spread tightening and more difficult upcoming corporate earnings comparisons, we see little on the near-term horizon to drive further material price appreciation. That said, given the supportive Federal Reserve stance on interest rate policy, we may look to extend the duration of the overall portfolio slightly via partial use of the excess cash balance. The Fund should continue to emphasize BB-rated and B-rated corporate bonds as it maintains its bias towards higher quality credit.
Regarding our market outlook for the next year, we anticipate high yield’s total return could be relatively flat and, given unattractive high yield bond valuations, we believe conservative positioning remains prudent. Thus, we anticipate a potential decline in bond prices could offset the positive return generated by the coupons. Sector exposure wise, we ended the period with an overweight in Consumer Goods. We also have a modest overweight in Services, Media and Financial Services. Our largest underweighted sectors include Basic Industry, Healthcare, Technology & Electronics and Telecom. The portfolio is also underweight CCC-rated bonds.

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

may constitute up to 80% of the Fund’s assets, stocks will constitute up to 70% of the Fund’s assets, real estate securities will constitute up to 25% of the Fund’s assets, foreign stocks and bonds will constitute up to 25% of the Fund’s assets and money market instruments may constitute up to 25% of the Fund’s assets. 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.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison Diversified Income Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 13.51% for the one-year period, nearly matching 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 13.54%. The Fund outperformed its Morningstar Moderate Allocation category peer group, which advanced 10.11% over the last year.
The equity portion of the Madison Diversified Income Fund performed well compared to the S&P 500 Index, returning 16.5% for the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2019, which outperformed the S&P 500 return of 14.33%. Sector allocation was detractive and stock selection was strong and accounted for all of the Fund outperformance. For sector allocation, an underweight position in Technology and an overweight position in Energy adversely impacted the portfolio. In terms of stock selection, there were positive results in Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary, Energy, Health Care, Utilities and Materials, while there were negative results in Technology, Financials, Industrials and Communication Services. Within Consumer Discretionary, global coffee restaurant chain Starbucks (SBUX) was the best performing stock in the portfolio. In Consumer Staples, consumer product company Procter & Gamble (PG) and chocolate manufacturer Hershey (HSY) contributed nicely to performance. Within Industrials, industrial distributor Fastenal (FAST) outperformed the market. Another notable outperforming stock was renewable power firm NextEra (NEE) in Utilities. On the negative side, in Energy, integrated oil company Exxon Mobile (XOM) was the worst performing stock in the portfolio. Within Financials, exchange operator CME Group (CME) and regional banks PNC Financial Services Group (PNC) and Wells Fargo each trailed the market. Another notable underperforming stock was pharmaceutical firm Pfizer (PFE) in Health Care. The Fund continues to hold all stocks mentioned above except for PNC and WFC which were sold.
The fixed income portion of the Madison Diversified Income Fund also performed well over the last twelve months keeping pace with the Bank of America Merrill Lynch US Corporate, Government, and Mortgage Index. Fixed income performance was significantly aided by the Fund maintaining a slightly longer maturity posture relative to the benchmark during a period of sharply falling interest rates. This duration positioning helped produce benchmark like returns over the trailing 12 months as 10-year U.S. Treasury rates fell from 3.14% at the beginning of the period to 1.69% at the end.
The primary drivers of Fund performance versus the benchmark over the last year was owning longer maturity Treasuries as well as shorter maturity corporate and securitized bonds. Performance was also impacted by maintaining a yield advantage over the benchmark. The Fund’s yield advantage resulted from an overweight to corporate and securitized bonds. The Fund also held a small position in high yield corporate bonds which helped the overall portfolio yield.
The Fund’s securitized bond allocation underperformed the Bloomberg Barclay’s U.S. Securitized Index® over the one-year period. The Fund’s positions in non-agency mortgage backed securities (MBS) and an overweight to fifteen-year MBS both detracted from performance. As interest rates fell, the incentive for borrowers to refinance increased thus reducing the value of non-agency MBS. The Fund’s allocation to fifteen-year and twenty-year MBS dragged on performance given the underperformance versus thirty-year MBS on a total return basis given falling interest rates.
Finally, the Fund benefited from a slightly longer duration on average during the trailing one-year period. Since October 2018, the two-year, ten-year and thirty-year Treasury yields fell 134, 145 and 121 basis points (one basis point is equal to one-hundredth of one percent of yield), respectively. The Fund’s duration was between 95% and 105% of the benchmark’s over the last year. The Fund has an overweight to twenty and thirty-year Treasury bonds which performed well over the last year given lower inflation and slowing economic growth.
Looking forward, the Fund’s managers plan to reduce exposure to corporate bonds given historically tight valuations and slightly worsening fundamentals. Any proceeds from the sale of corporate bond will likely be used to buy more MBS and Treasuries to increase the overall quality of the Fund.
We believe 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 with meaningful allocation to domestic credit and mortgage sectors in bonds. The Fund’s approach to both interest rate risk and sector allocations risk is designed to help protect client principal and provide the flexibility required to take advantage of opportunities should markets adjust to higher interest rates and equity market volatility.

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

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
Madison Covered Call & Equity Fund (Class Y) returned 1.60% for the period, compared to the 14.33% return for the S&P 500 and 6.76% for its benchmark CBOE SS&P 500 BuyWrite Index. Driven by defensive positioning during the period stock selection within the Fund was a negative contributor to total performance, primarily from holdings which were buffeted by the prolonged nature of the U.S./China trade dispute. The uncertainty surrounding this extremely volatile issue was negatively reflected in holdings perceived to be economically sensitive such as those within the Energy and Financial Sectors. Although crude oil prices remained relatively high compared to the past five-year period, they declined approximately 17% during the period, due to concerns over oil demand in a global economy negatively impacted by a trade war between two major trading partners. Similarly, industrial commodity prices such as copper, aluminum and steel were driven lower. The Fund’s positioning within these areas was increased, expecting a quicker resolution to the trade issues and a realization that these sectors and some of the best companies within these sectors were trading at unrealistically low valuations. Among the biggest laggards during the period were Alcoa, Freeport-McMoRan, Range Resources and Apache. Although early in our assessment, we continue to believe that a shift toward economically cyclical companies will occur. A consumer cyclical company, Nordstrom, which was a top performer in the prior period, lagged given the continued concerns over weaker mall-based competitors such as Sears. Technology holdings Qualcomm and First Data were among the top performers given Qualcomm’s resolution of its Apple lawsuit and First Data’s acquisition by Fiserv. The Fund’s gold exposure led by Newmont Mining, was also a positive contributor as gold prices rose almost 25% during the period. Medical device companies such as Baxter International and Medtronic also positively contributed despite the relative underperformance of the Health Care Sector as a whole.
Despite helping during the market decline in late 2018, the Fund’s cash exposure and call option overlay were detractive to performance over the entirety of the period as would be expected during such a strong market advance. From an income-generation perspective the Fund has continued to generate a very attractive yield which has fallen within our expected range.
Given the defensive nature of covered call writing as a strategy, and our conservative approach to actively managing the strategy, protecting downside risk and generating income in a low-yield environment continues to offer a reasonable attraction to investors. With equity markets at all-time highs, an economy that requires constant encouragement to generate below-potential growth and a potentially volatile political environment on the near horizon that may provide significant uncertainty for corporate America, a defensive investment approach seems prudent. We remain steadfastly committed to maintaining a very high-quality equity portfolio with a high level of call option coverage in order to stay true to the purpose and objectives of your Fund.

MADISON DIVIDEND INCOME FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The Madison Dividend Income Fund invests in equity securities of companies with a market capitalization of over $1 billion and a history of paying dividends, with the ability to increase dividends over time. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in dividend paying equity securities. The Fund typically owns 30-60 securities which generally have a dividend yield of at least the S&P 500’s average yield, a strong balance sheet, a dividend that has been maintained and likely to increase and trades at a high relative dividend yield due to issues viewed by the adviser as temporary, among other characteristics.

In addition to the S&P 500® broad-based market index reflected in the above chart and table, the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index has been added because of the Fund’s focus on above average dividend yield stocks.
The Madison Dividend Income Fund (Class Y) returned 15.48% for the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2019, which outperformed the S&P 500 Index’s return of 14.33% and its Morningstar peer group, U.S. Large Value, which returned 9.57%. Relative to the index, sector allocation was detractive and stock selection was strong and accounted for all of the Fund outperformance. For sector allocation, an underweight position in Technology and an overweight position in Energy adversely impacted the portfolio.

MADISON LARGE CAP VALUE FUND
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.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison Large Cap Value Fund - continued | October 31, 2019
The Madison Large Cap Value Fund (Class Y) returned 5.24% for the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2019, which compared to the Russell 1000® Value Index return of 11.21%. The Fund’s Morningstar peer group, Large Cap Value, returned 9.57%. Relative to the index, both sector allocation and stock selection were detractive. For sector allocation, underweight positions in Technology, Health Care and Industrials negatively impacted results, which was partially offset by an overweight position in Utilities. In terms of stock selection, there were positive results in Consumer Staples, Technology, Real Estate and Health Care, while there were negative results in Communication Services, Energy and Materials. In Technology, payment processor First Data (FDC) was the best performing stock in the portfolio. Within Consumer Staples, consumer product firm Procter & Gamble (PG) contributed nicely to performance. Within Materials, gold producer Barrick Gold (GOLD) outperformed the market. Other notable outperforming stocks were independent power producer Sempra Energy (SRE) in Utilities, and industrial warehouse owner Prologis (PLD) in Real Estate. On the negative side, within Energy, oil and gas exploration and production firms EOG Resources (EOG) and Range Resources (RRC), along with deep water drilling company Transocean (RIG) each trailed the market. In Materials, iron ore producer Vale (VALE) negatively impacted performance. Another notable underperforming stock was telecom provider CenturyLink (CTL) in Telecommunications. At the end of the period the Fund no longer held EOG, FDC, RRC, RIG and VALE.

MADISON INVESTORS FUND
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.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison Investors Fund (Class Y) returned 18.63% for the year ending October 31, 2019, while the S&P 500® Index returned 14.33% for the same period. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Large Blend peer group whose average return was 12.44% for the year. Similar to the comparable 2018 period, the period was characterized by a stronger return performance for faster growing, higher valuation multiple stocks (“growth stocks”).
The Fund managers found opportunities to sell and trim portfolio stocks deemed to have less favorable risk-reward profiles and to add stocks with more favorable risk-reward characteristics. The portfolio managers added three new stocks to the portfolio from the insurance, energy, and retail industries over the course of the year that are expected to contribute positively to future returns. Six stocks were sold from the portfolio because they were deemed to have unfavorable risk-reward profiles at the time of the sales. This activity led to Fund turnover of over 23%, which is near the lower 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. The Fund’s industrial holdings posted strong sales and earnings performances over the past year. The Fund also enjoyed good returns from its Consumer Discretionary Sector holdings due to a combination of earnings growth and price-to-earnings multiple expansion. The Fund’s Health Care Sector holdings outperformed those in the S&P 500, and the Fund’s underweight to underperforming energy stocks also helped performance relative to the benchmark.
The Fund’s Consumer Staples, Communications Services, Financials, and Information Technology holdings underperformed their comparative sectors in the S&P 500. The Fund’s cash balance was also a relative performance drag given the modest returns available on short-term bonds compared the period’s strong stock returns.

Madison Mid Cap Fund (Class Y) returned 23.27% for the one-year period, well outperforming both its index and peer group. The Russell Midcap® Index returned 13.72% and the Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth peer group returned 13.94%. The Mid Cap Fund benefitted from both strong stock picking and sector allocation during the period; however, stock picking was the much more significant driver of outperformance. True to our approach, our strong stock picking was driven by some of our largest and highest conviction holdings. Our positive contribution from sector allocation was driven by performance in the Energy, Consumer Staples and Communication Services Sectors. We benefited from being meaningfully underweight the Energy Sector, where the -28% return placed it as the worst within the benchmark. Similarly, we had an underweight within the Communication Services Sector, which posted the second lowest return over the period. Our Consumer Staples return was driven by strong performance of a long-time holding. Our three worst contributors to sector allocation were Information Technology, Real Estate and Consumer Discretionary. We were notably underweight in both the Information Technology and Real Estate Sectors while these two were among the top performing areas of the market during the period. Our large overweight within the underperforming Consumer Discretionary Sector was a drag on our sector allocation; however, strong stock picking within this space helped drive our overall return.

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 small-cap securities.
Madison focuses on core growth strategies through bottom-up fundamental research analysis to identify stocks of businesses that are selling at what it believes are substantial discounts to prices that accurately reflect their future earnings prospects. Madison conducts extensive research on each prospective investment using a five pillar analysis process to evaluate companies as potential investments for the portfolio. Investments that meet most of the criteria are added to a list of similar companies to be monitored by Madison. Companies meeting all five pillars may be added to the portfolio. The five pillars of the analysis are: (1) strong business traits, (2) defendable market niche, (3) attractive growth potential, (4) capable management, and (5) discount to private market value. In reviewing companies, Madison applies the characteristics identified above on a case-by-case basis as the order of importance varies depending on the type of business or industry and the company being reviewed. As a result of employing the five pillar analysis, the Fund may hold cash opportunistically, particularly during periods of market uncertainty when investments meeting all five pillars may be difficult to identify.

The performance shown in the graph and table above represents that of the accounting survivor with the period end restated to the legal survivor’s fiscal year end. See Note 13 for a discussion of the Fund’s reorganization.
Madison Small Cap Fund (Class Y) returned 3.65% for the one-year period. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index returned 4.90% while its peer group, Morningstar Small Blend, returned 4.34%. This return profile does not capture the extreme volatility that the markets experienced in December of 2018 and the subsequent snap back in valuation in the first quarter of 2019. While punishing, we were able to opportunistically add to core positions during this market swoon, which helped our performance in calendar year 2019.
Consumer Discretionary, Financials, and Information Technology were the largest detractors in relative performance. Lack of exposure to Real Estate and Utilities, areas in which we typically do not invest, also were net detractors for our annual performance. On the positive side, Industrials, Healthcare and Consumer Staples contributed positively to our performance. The Fund’s top performing sectors were Consumer Staples and Industrials. Both these areas of positive return were driven by absolute performance from large core positions, such as Kornit Digital, Carlisle Companies, Masco, Boston Beer Company, and Hain Celestial Group.
The Fund had a disappointing return from energy stocks due to poor management execution against a backdrop of terrible sentiment in the Energy Sector. Other stocks that disappointed were Ferro Corporation, Trip Advisor, Nordstrom, CommVault Systems, Covetrus, and Tivity Health. While negative absolute performance is always disappointing, the Fund managers remain excited in the long-term prospects of many of these negative performers. However, the tough economic environment and difficult macro fundamentals in energy have dictated that the Fund managers exit these positions. While healthcare was a poorly performing sector for the Russell in this time period, the Fund managers have found areas of relative value and exited the fiscal year in an overweight position, despite the average underweight position for the year. The Fund managers continue to find good opportunities in both consumer discretionary and stables, which offset the underweight in Information Technology at the fiscal year-end.

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

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
Madison International Stock Fund (Class Y) returned 10.10% for the one-year period, compared to its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net), which returned 11.04%. The Fund’s peer group, Morningstar Foreign Large Blend, returned 10.18%.
The Madison International Stock Fund underperformed the unmanaged and fee-free MSCI EAFE Index by less than one percent during the period despite generally strong stock selection. In the materials sector, Shin-Etsu Chemical, a Japanese chemical company, reported strong first quarter results with quarter-over-quarter operating profit growth in all segments. Management’s Shin-Etsu thesis is centered on two markets: silicon wafers and PVC. Both markets have robust demand and have supply constraints leading to tightening market conditions. Over the last ten years as the semi wafer industry has consolidated, little capacity has been added. In the PVC market, supply has been reduced and constrained by environmental regulatory changes in Europe and China leading to a tightening market. Management expects this to continue in the medium-term making this a high quality/diversified wafer and chemicals business with earnings upgrades to come. Also in the sector, Netherlands based Royal DSM outperformed. DSM is a global specialty chemical company and operates within health, nutrition, and materials. DSM is a much more stable business than in the past when the company was more focused on commodity chemicals. It also is now a higher-quality company with improving margins, higher growth, and little-to-no financial leverage. The structural growth of the nutrition segment should provide more resilience in earnings than was experienced during the last cyclical downturn. Unlike a pharmaceutical company, investors typically ascribe little to no value for a chemical company’s “pipeline.” However, DSM’s innovation projects are options that are not yet built into consensus estimates and this can add optionality to the stock price. The company has been executing well, and announced a EUR 1bn buyback in February 2019, representing an estimated 7% of market cap.
In contrast, stock selection and a higher-than-benchmark weight in the underperforming Energy Sector detracted from relative returns. Canadian integrated oil sands and refinery company, Suncor, lagged on the back of a very weak commodity, specifically in the fourth quarter of 2018. With cash operating costs below $50/barrel, however, we believe Suncor will continue to generate significant free cash flow. Management spent the past several years repositioning their portfolio by selling highly valued infrastructure and renewables as well as downstream assets and buying cheap, synergistic oil assets. Total operating costs continue to decline while production growth continues amidst declining capital expenditures. This capital allocation model allows Suncor to be one of the rare large energy companies with the ability to buy back stock and increase their dividend. Elsewhere, in the Industrials Sector, a position in Ryanair detracted from relative returns. Ryanair is the leader in the intra-Europe discount airline market with a highly competitive cost base and a record of profitable value creation and cash generation. The stock lagged in the period due to the continued slowdown in European Union economic activity and air traffic demand which more than offset a five-year low on capacity growth, leading to further summer 2019 fare downgrades. Brexit uncertainty could still be weighing on UK outbound demand and oil is still a cost headwind year to date. Management still likes the stock, as believes that the valuation is inexpensive trading below total fleet value as well as a ten-year low relative to the market. This at the same time profitability per passenger is at its lowest since 2011 – implying significant margin and valuation upside. While hard to call the timing of the turn, management believes these variables negatively affecting the stock currently, are much closer to the trough than the peak. As EU airline consolidation continues in this challenging market, management believes the low-cost structure of Ryanair is an advantage that will enable the company to be a leader amidst this changing market. Lastly, a lower-than-benchmark weight in the strong performing utilities sector detracted from relative returns.
In terms of our outlook, management believes the global economy’s recent deceleration is part of its progression through the late stages of a normal cycle. Ultimately, the outlook remains mostly unchanged from previous periods. As the world’s central banks ease monetary policy and expectations of earnings across regions remain similar, investors may focus on relatively cheap companies that can more reliably deliver earnings and cash flows. In this environment, in management’s view, stock selection will be a main driver of returns. Management believes high quality, more defensive companies, whose fortunes are less geared to the economic cycle and offer inexpensive valuations, will be the leadership stocks for the foreseeable future.

Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance |
| 1 | Fund returns are calculated after fund expenses have been subtracted and assume that dividends and capital gains are reinvested in additional shares of the fund. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

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. |

Madison Funds | October 31, 2019
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 a subadvisory agreement for the management of the investments of the International Stock Fund (“Subadviser”).
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 Funds (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 Small Cap Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A and Y. The High Income, Large Cap Value, 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.
Following the close of business on August 30, 2019, the Small Cap Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to liabilities, of the Broadview Opportunity Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) through a tax-free reorganization (the “Reorganization”). The Small Cap Fund had the same investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies and risks as the Predecessor Fund.
As part of the Reorganization, shareholders of the Predecessor Fund’s sole share class received Class Y Shares of the Small Cap Fund. Because the Predecessor Fund was deemed the accounting survivor of the Reorganization, the Small Cap Fund’s Class Y Shares adopted the Predecessor Fund’s performance and financial history which commenced investment operations on December 16, 1996. The performance and financial history for Class A shares was deemed to be new effective August 31, 2019 as a result of the Reorganization. See Note 13 for further explanation of the Reorganization.
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
55

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. 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. Management does not believe the ASU will have a material impact on the financial statements due to the fact the funds did not hold convertible debt for the year ended October 31, 2019.
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. Net realized gain on investments in the Statements of Operations also includes realized gain distributions received from the underlying exchange-listed funds. Distributions of net realized gains are recorded on the fund’s ex-distribution date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded after the ex-dividend date based on when the fund is informed of the dividend. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium.
Amortization and accretion are recorded on the effective yield method.
Expenses: Expenses that are directly related to one fund are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are prorated to the funds on the basis of relative net assets. Class-specific expenses are borne by that class.
Classes: Income and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative net assets.
Repurchase Agreements: Each fund may engage in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a security is purchased for a relatively short period (usually not more than seven days) subject to the obligation to sell it back to the issuer at a fixed time and price plus accrued interest. The funds will enter into repurchase agreements only with members of the Federal Reserve System and with “primary dealers” in U.S. Government securities. As of October 31, 2019, 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 fund’s 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 and International Stock Fund had net realized losses of $94 and $4,117 related to foreign currency transactions. 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, 2019, none of the funds transacted forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
56
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2019
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 investments, as defined by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, 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 investment 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, 2019, there were no illiquid securities held in the funds.
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, 2019, 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, 2019 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, 2019, 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, 2019, in valuing the funds’ investments carried at fair value (please see the Portfolio of Investments for each fund for a listing of all securities within each category):

The amounts waived for the year ended October 31, 2019, are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statements of Operations. The Investment Adviser does not have the right to recoup 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 1940 Act. These plans permit the applicable share classes 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:
| | | Shareholder Servicing Fee | | | | Distribution Fee | | | | Total Shareholder Servicing and Distribution Fees (Rule 12b-1) | |

MFD may from time to time voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds. In that regard, MFD agreed to waive a portion of 12b-1 fees on the Government Money Market Fund Class B Shares until at least February 27, 2020 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, 2019, no fees were waived. MFD does not have the right to recoup 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, 2019, were as follows:

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.
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
60
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2019
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.
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 thesecurities 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 Statements 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, 2019, the aggregate fair value of securities on loan for the Madison fund family was $20,768,119. 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, 2019. 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 2016-2019.

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, 2019, 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.

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2019
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 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.
12. CAPITAL SHARES AND AFFILIATED OWNERSHIP
The Allocation Funds invest in Underlying Funds, certain of which may be deemed to be under common control because of the same or affiliated investment adviser and membership in a common family of investment companies (the “Affiliated Issuers”). A summary of the transactions with each Affiliated Underlying Fund during the year ended October 31, 2019 follows:

13. FUND REORGANIZATION
As of the close of business on August 30, 2019 the net assets of the Predecessor Fund were reorganized into the Small Cap Fund, based upon approval granted at a meeting held August 22, 2019 by the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund. Though the legal survivor of the business combination was the Small Cap Fund, the Predecessor Fund was determined to be the accounting survivor, and therefore, the historical performance of the Predecessor Fund was retained. Under the plan of reorganization, a single share of the Predecessor Fund was exchanged for 2.469195 shares of the Small Cap Fund’s Class Y shares. Net asset values and other per share information within the financial highlights for historical periods were adjusted by this conversion ratio for comparability purposes due to the accounting survivor being the Predecessor Fund. Additionally, due to the accounting survivor being the Predecessor Fund, previously held Class A shares the Small Cap Fund are treated to have commenced investment operations on August 31, 2019 as shown in the financial highlights. The Reorganization was accomplished by a tax free exchange as detailed below:
| | Before Merger | | After Merger |
| | Broadview Opportunity Fund | | Madison Small Cap Fund Class Y | | Madison Small Cap Fund Class Y |
Net Assets | | $ | 254,130,721 | | | $ | 24,220,585 | | | $ | 278,351,306 | |
Shares Outstanding | | | 9,731,341 | | | | 2,290,103 | | | | 26,318,681 | |
NAV per share | | $ | 26.11 | | | $ | 10.58 | | | $ | 10.58 | |
*Above table illustrates the sole share class of the Predecessor Fund before the Reorganization and the Small Cap Fund’s Class Y shares immediately before and after Reorganization. Immediately before and after the Reorganization, the Small Cap Fund had 321,301 Class A shares outstanding with a combined net asset value of $3,382,044 and a NAV per share of $10.53. As discussed above, as a result of the Reorganization, Class A shares are deemed to have commenced operation on August 31, 2019.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the funds through the date the financial statements were available for issue. No other events have taken place that meet the definition of subsequent event that require adjustment to, or disclosure in the financial statements.

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 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, 2019, 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, except Madison Small Cap Fund; the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the period from October 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019 and the year ended September 30, 2019, for Madison Small Cap Fund; and the related notes.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds constituting the Madison Funds, except Madison Small Cap Fund as of October 31, 2019, 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. Also, in our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Madison Small Cap Fund as of October 31, 2019 the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the period ended October 31, 2019 and for the year ended September 30, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended September 30, 2018 for Madison Small Cap Fund was audited by another auditor whose report dated November 20, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on this statement. The financial highlights for the four years in the period ended September 30, 2018, for Madison Small Cap Fund, before the effects of adjustments to retrospectively adjust the financial highlights to give effect to the reorganization discussed in footnote 13 to the financial statements, were audited by other auditors whose reports, dated November 20, 2018 and November 27, 2015, expressed unqualified opinions on those financial highlights. We have audited the adjustments to the financial highlights for each of the years in the period ended September 30, 2018, to retrospectively adjust the financial highlights to give effect to the reorganization as discussed in footnote 13 to the financial statements. Our procedures included recalculating the conversion factor discussed in footnote 13 to the financial statements. In our opinion, such retrospective adjustments are appropriate and have been appropriately applied. However, we were not engaged to audit, review, or reperform any procedures to the financial statements and financial highlights for periods prior to October 1, 2018 other than with respect to the retrospective adjustment described herein, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the financial statements and financial highlights of Madison Small Cap Fund for periods prior to October 1, 2018.
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, 2019, 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 30-31, 2019, 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 Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Lazard”) and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington,” and together with Lazard, the “Sub-Advisers”) 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 Sub-Advisers 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 Board noted that, following the consummation of the pending merger of the Broadview Opportunity Fund with and into the Madison Small Cap Fund (the “Broadview Transaction”), Wellington would be terminated as Sub-Adviser to the Madison Small Cap Fund and the combined Fund would be managed internally by the portfolio management team that currently manages the Broadview Opportunity Fund. Accordingly, the Board was being asked to consider approving the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Wellington through the consummation of the Broadview Transaction, after which the Madison Small Cap Fund would be managed under the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser. 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 Sub-Advisers’ 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 Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements 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 Sub-Advisers, and representatives of the Adviser and Lazard, respectively, discussed with the Independent Trustees each of those additional inquiries at the July 2019 meeting. The Board noted that representatives from Wellington did not join the meeting (telephonically or otherwise) in light of the pending Broadview Transaction, but representatives from the Adviser responded to questions regarding the materials provided by Wellington.
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 Sub-Advisers to the funds, as applicable, including the personnel providing such services; (2) the Adviser’s and Sub-Advisers’ 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 thenature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, the Board reviewed the biographies and tenure of the personnel involved in Trust management and the experience of the Adviser (and, as 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 Sub-Advisers 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 theinvestment 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 funds, 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. Representatives of the Adviser discussed with the Board the methodology for arriving at peer groups and indices used for performance comparisons which, with respect to peer groups, followed a different process this year than the prior year, after Board input and review. The Board also considered that sometimes, the Morningstar categories the funds fall into do not precisely match a fund’s investment strategy and philosophy.

Madison Funds | Other Information (unaudited) - continued | October 31, 2019
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 thecosts of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliatesfrom 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. Like the performance comparisons described above, the expense comparisons followed a different methodology this year versus last in terms of peer group selection, which, again, was the result of Board input and review.
The Board noted that the Adviser or its affiliates, and, as applicable, Sub-Advisers, 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-Advisers) to such funds and clients for purposes of determining whether the given advisory fee was disproportionately large under the so-calledGartenberg standard traditionally used by investment company boards in connection with contract renewal considerations. The Board took those fees into account and considered the differences in services and time required by the various types of funds and clients to which the Adviser (or 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 and asset size, 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 $16.5 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 whicheconomies of scalewould 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 existing Advisory Agreement or pursuant to an applicable Services Agreement, as the case may be) with regard to: the Madison Government Money Market Fund and Madison Dividend Income Fund. Further, the Trustees noted that the Adviser agreed to reduce its services fee for the Madison Small Cap Fund for at least two years following the date of consummation of the Broadview Transaction. 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 with respect to a 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 Sub-Advisers. She noted that the Independent Trustees had considered such materials in light of theGartenberg standard as well as criteria either set forth or discussed in the Supreme Court decision inJones 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 Lazard, respectively, and discussed each matter raised.
In considering the renewal of the funds’ Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, as applicable, 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
67
Madison Funds | Other Information (unaudited) - continued | October 31, 2019
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 or Sub-Advisory Agreements, as applicable; (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-Advisers’, 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, 2019. 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.
