Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Period in Review
The conventional timeframe to think about investment results is in calendar years broken into quarters. For reports such as this one, defined by a fiscal year that runs from October 31, 2019 through October 31, 2020, the results can be hard to reconcile even in calm periods. But for this particular annual period, quarters and calendars take a backseat to the split that was not only the central story for the stock and bond markets, but our lives in general: pre- and post-COVID-19.
Thinking back to the fall of 2019 takes us back to another world, where we were enjoying restaurant dinners, movies and concerts without a care. It does feel like a long time ago. With regard to this reporting period, we experienced almost four months of pre-COVID, with late February 2020 marking the demarcation line. The course of the 10-year Treasury is as good a guide as any. It began the period yielding around 1.9%, historically low, but above the three-year low of 1.5% (close to the all-time low) which we had seen the previous summer. The arrival of COVID-19 drove rates down precipitously, with the late February to early March chart looking like Niagara Falls with a fall to an unheard level of below 0.6%. This flight to safety was only partially mitigated as the period continued, with the yield ending at 0.87%.
Meanwhile the stock market experienced a similar freefall. From the beginning of our reporting period on November 1, 2019 through March 23, the market as measured by the S&P 500® dropped -25.7% (closer to -34% from its February high), with the damage concentrated in late February and March. Just as notable was the recovery. From the period low on March 23 through the period ended on October 31, 2020, the S&P 500® was up 47.7%, pushing the total return for the period to a solidly positive 9.7% gain.
While the viral pandemic cut its jagged path across the country the markets seemed much more focused on the economic interventions, with the fiscal and monetary responses driving the recovery even as the COVID-19 numbers showed little signs of abatement. Beginning on March 15, the Federal Reserve (Fed) took decisive action to combat the market meltdown. It returned rates to the near-zero level it had deployed for the years following the Great Recession and announced a $700 billion round of quantitative easing, large-scale asset purchases. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by Congress with overwhelming, bipartisan support and signed into law by President Trump on March 27, 2020. This was the largest stimulus legislation in U.S. history, nearly $2 trillion.
These actions helped mitigate what was emerging as the virus’ devastating blow to the U.S. economy. The shuttering of broad segments of the economy, such as entertainment and travel, had immediate and serious impacts on employment. Unemployment spiked more in three months than in two years of the Great Recession. The official unemployment rate, which does not count underemployment or those who have dropped out of the labor market, jumped from 3.8% in February to 13% in May. School shutdowns created a crisis for many working families, even for those whose jobs were secure. Food insecurity skyrocketed, with one in six adults with children in their households reporting shortages. While the bond market appeared to be anchored to the low Fed rates, the stock market, always forward looking, seemed to believe that all of these hardships would be temporary, tempered initially by the CARES Act and an anticipated second round of fiscal stimulus while eventually being resolved either via COVID mitigation, commercial accommodations or vaccine development. Positive news on vaccines at the end of the period were especially welcomed by both a nation tiring of living restrictions and the stock market.
While it is impossible to overlook the deaths and hardships we continue to suffer, the resilience of the stock market may be a harbinger of the resilience of the American people and our economy. We personally do not foresee a smooth or painless recovery as we enter 2021, with the possibility of serious setbacks as we await the day when we can look back on COVID-19 as a bitter memory. Our response is to be vigilant stewards of our shareholders’ investments, focusing on the highest quality investments available in each of our portfolios’ mandates. It is our fervent hope that when we return in a year to discuss the next annual period, we will be talking about much of what we suffer today in the past tense.

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 5.62% for the one-year period ended October 31, 2020, compared to its Conservative Allocation Custom benchmark’s 6.83%. The Fund’s peer group, Morningstar Allocation 30-50% Equity, returned 2.15%.
At the beginning of 2020 we believed markets were overly optimistic and priced such that everything would need to go right and with very little margin for error. Our belief was that a slowing economy would challenge the prevailing optimism, but we had no idea we were heading into a very dark time for the global economy. Our late-cycle economy concerns had us allocated rather conservatively in the portfolio all the way back to late 2019, with an underweight allocation to equities, an elevated cash position and sizeable U.S. Treasury bond holdings. Our caution initially provided a drag on return versus the blended benchmark. However, as the COVID-19 crisis emerged, our risk-light stance greatly muted the downside experience of the portfolio during the S&P 500® Index’s -34% decline to the March low.
Although we did add risk back to the portfolio in the spring, most notably to corporate bonds and Asian emerging markets equities, we remain relatively defensive as we still harbor serious concerns about the path forward for the global economy. These concerns coupled with historically high equity market valuations and elevated volatility have us mindful that risk markets are susceptible to a sudden downside burst. This residual defensiveness in the form of excess cash holdings provided a meaningful drag on performance over the period as risk markets charged ahead.
Overall, the portfolio outperformed in two of the three main asset class categories. Results were favorable among both fixed income and foreign stocks, but outside excess cash, our holdings within U.S. equities provided the largest detractor to performance.
Within fixed income, our long-term U.S. Treasury holdings provided the biggest positive contribution over the period. As mentioned earlier, increases to corporate bonds after the March sell-off were also additive.
Our sizeable overweight to Asian emerging markets stocks helped the portfolio outperform on the foreign equity side.
On the U.S. equity side, large positive contributions from technology and other growth leaning holdings were overcome by sizeable underperformance from the Fund’s actively managed U.S. stock positions.
Relative to peers, results were quite favorable, boosted by our relative overweight allocations to U.S. versus foreign stocks, our preference for large caps within U.S. equities and by taking considerably less of the downside market experience in the spring.
Moving forward we intend to keep our focus squarely on risk management as we remain concerned by the number of inconsistencies present in both the markets and economy.

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.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund (Class Y) returned 3.24% for the one-year period, underperforming the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-22 Year Municipal Securities Index, which returned 3.46%. The Morningstar Municipal Single State Intermediate peer group returned 2.82% 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 higher than benchmark exposure to maturities less than 5 years as well as higher exposure to maturities between 7 and 10 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. The Fund was less exposed to BBB-rated issues which detracted to performance as these securities provided more relative yield in the benchmark.
The municipal bond market experienced unprecedented turmoil during the first quarter of 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic curtailed economic growth and

slashed state and local tax receipts. The market recovered rapidly as Congress passed a massive stimulus package known as the CARES act and the Federal Reserve established a lending facility to support municipal bonds in the event public markets were unable to provide financing. To date, only two issuers (State of Illinois and New York MTA) have borrowed from the Fed as the markets returned to more normal order flow. However, it is important to note that state and local budgets remained strained with the continuing effects of the pandemic weighing on a cloudy economic outlook. In addition, the continuing struggle to pass another round of federal stimulus directly aiding state and local governments and the possibility of a divided Congress for the incoming administration leaves many questions unanswered. Fortunately, there seems to be agreement that help is needed but how much and when that aid might come is a negative development for the market.
We envision demand for tax-exempt securities to remain steady for the coming quarters despite the headwinds facing municipalities. Tax rates look to remain at current levels or increase somewhat for higher wage earners. In addition, the general low level of interest rates in the fixed income complex make municipal bonds look attractive on a taxable-equivalent basis versus Treasuries and high-grade corporate bonds. The supply of muni bonds is expected to increase with additional issuance needed to fund pandemic relief for constituents and the potential for a robust infrastructure package to spur economic growth. 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 and credit downgrades 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 7 years. In addition, the nearly identical yields for munis with maturities less than five years poses an opportunity for investors to reposition into 8 to 12-year paper. 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 TAX-FREE NATIONAL FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The Madison Tax-Free National Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in municipal bonds that are exempt from federal income taxes. These securities may be issued by state governments, their political subdivisions (for example, cities and counties) and public authorities (for example, school districts and housing authorities). The Fund may also invest in bonds that, under federal law, are exempt from federal and state income taxation, such as bonds issued by the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. The Fund invests in intermediate and long-term bonds having average, aggregate maturities (at the portfolio level) of 7 to 15 years. The primary difference between this Fund and the Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund is that the Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund will invest in bonds that are exempt from federal and state income tax for residents of Virginia, while this Fund will invest in bonds that are exempt from federal income tax.

The Madison Tax-Free National Fund (Class Y) returned 3.36% for the one-year period, underperforming the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-22 Year Municipal Securities Index, which returned 3.46%. The Morningstar Muni National Long peer group returned 2.49%.
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 higher than benchmark exposure to maturities less than 5 years as well as higher exposure to maturities between 7 and 10 years where the yield curve was more positively sloped. Also additive to return was the Fund’s allocation to local general obligation bonds and essential service revenue bonds which outperformed the broader market. The Fund was less exposed to BBB-rated issues which detracted to performance as these securities provided more relative yield in the benchmark.
The municipal bond market experienced unprecedented turmoil during the first quarter of 2020 as the coronavirus pandemic curtailed economic growth and slashed state and local tax receipts. The market recovered rapidly as Congress passed a massive stimulus package known as the CARES act and the Federal Reserve established a lending facility to support municipal bonds in the event public markets were unable to provide financing. To date, only two issuers (State of Illinois and New York MTA) have borrowed from the Fed as the markets returned to more normal order flow. However, it is important to note that state and local budgets remained strained with the continuing effects of the pandemic weighing on a cloudy economic outlook. In addition, the continuing struggle to pass another round of federal stimulus directly aiding state and local governments and the possibility of a divided Congress for the incoming administration leaves many questions unanswered. Fortunately, there seems to be agreement that help is needed but how much and when that aid might come is a negative development for the market.

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.

The Madison High Quality Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 4.08% for the one-year period, lagging the benchmark Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/ Credit A+ Bond Index, which returned 5.59%. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Short-Term Bond category peer group’s return of 3.02% over the same period.
After spending much of the period with a flat or inverted yield curve, recent policy changes have resulted in significant curve steepening as front-end rates anchored by Federal Reserve (Fed) policy fell, while longer rates rose in response to renewed economic activity. Recently, the Federal Open Market Committee announced their intention to target an average inflation rate of 2% over an entire economic cycle. This implies the Fed could allow inflation to run ‘hot’ to offset periods of low inflation. This is a significant change to monetary policy and will impact interest rates in the future. With the Fed reaffirming that the Fed Funds Rate is likely to stay near zero until at least 2023 with asset purchases continuing, policy will be closely watched as the current economic recovery progresses.
As the period ended, risk assets continued to recover ground lost during the COVID-19 economic shut down earlier this year. The Fed continued its purchases of both corporate bond exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the underlying corporate bonds. Given the total size of these markets, the amount of purchases is fairly limited in scope. However, most market participants believe that the Fed will increase purchases if volatility increases. Corporations have issued a record amount of debt this year but with the Fed actively involved in these markets, the implicit backstop continues to make corporate bonds attractive to purchase versus Treasuries.
Conservative duration positioning was detractive to performance over the course of the period as interest rates moved sharply lower in response to the COVID-19

policy actions. Sector/quality was additive to performance during the period as increased allocations to corporate credit contributed positively as credit risk premiums contracted during this summer’s economic restart. Conservative maturity positioning was detractive to yield/income as the portfolio’s yield advantage was reduced due to sharply lower rates across all maturities. The portfolio benefitted from the move to a steeper yield curve in response to anticipated Fed policy changes. The shift in portfolio assets from 1- to 3-year Treasury to longer 7- to 10-year credit & agency holdings contributed to the positive impact of curve positioning during the period. Security selection detracted slightly from portfolio returns over the period as risk premiums on high quality names tightened less on a relative basis than lower quality issues.
In recent months, the portfolio continued to add exposure to corporate securities as increased corporate issuance provided attractive purchase candidates. By adding holdings of attractive high-quality credits, the portfolio sought to maintain yield and take advantage of attractive roll down characteristics of the recently steepened yield curve. The portfolio continues to sell short-term Treasuries to fund 7- to 10-year credit purchases and increased 5- to 7-year Treasury holdings. We view Treasuries maturing inside of two years as anchored near zero yields given our near-term Fed policy outlook making them attractive swap candidates to maintain portfolio yield and duration.
We believe that while the domestic economy has bounced back significantly from the depths of the COVID-19 shut down, we are entering a more gradual and difficult period. The path forward is largely dependent upon the progress of reopening efforts and identification of successful COVID-19 therapies and vaccines. Against this backdrop, we expect increased market volatility across sectors. However, with monetary stimulus remaining at all-time highs, the stage is set for a significant rebound as the path forward becomes more certain. While the relative attractiveness of corporate credit remains strong, the impact of the pandemic upon certain sectors for last years to come. The past 12 months has, once again, reinforced the need for diversification and rewarded those who have maintained exposure to high quality fixed income within their overall portfolio. We will continue to position the portfolio with a defensive duration posture and high-quality credit holdings as we navigate the coming months.

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.

See accompanying Notes to Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance.
The Madison Core Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 7.13% for the one-year period, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index®, which gained 6.19%. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Intermediate Core Bond peer group, which gained 5.95% for the period.
The primary drivers of Fund performance versus the benchmark over the last year was an overweight to corporate bonds during the second and third quarter of 2020. The Fund added a significant amount of corporate bonds through the primary issuance market as firms raised cash in the face of economic uncertainty. New issue concessions were significant, and many deals performed extremely well after issuance. Performance was also positively impacted by the yield advantage over the benchmark. The Fund averaged a yield advantage of 54 basis points (bps) over the benchmark during the last year. This was primarily due to an overweight to corporate and securitized bonds.
The Fund’s securitized bond allocation underperformed the Bloomberg Barclay’s U.S. Securitized Index® over the one-year period. Consumers took advantage of lower interest rates and refinanced mortgage debt. Given higher prices on mortgage backed securities these prepayments hurt performance. Additionally, the Fund’s securitized product allocation had a lower duration versus the benchmark and underperformed as interest rates fell.
Finally, the Fund benefited from a slightly longer duration on average during the trailing one-year period. The Fund’s duration averaged 103% of the benchmark’s over the last year. Additionally, the Fund is overweight in Treasury securities with maturities longer than seven years. Over the previous year, interest rates have fallen

significantly with the ten-year and thirty-year Treasury falling 82 bps and 52 bps, respectfully. The Fund’s allocation to longer Treasuries benefited from the fall in rates.
Moving forward, the Fund will continue to be overweight risk assets to provide additional yield in the portfolio. The Fund will also be overweight longer maturity Treasuries given the expectation of accommodative monetary policy for the foreseeable future. Longer maturity Treasuries also provide a hedge to risk assets as Treasury yields general fall as volatility increases.

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.

The Madison Diversified Income Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 1.27% for the one-year period, underperforming 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 8.70%. The Fund underperformed its Morningstar Moderate Allocation category peer group, which advanced 3.65% over the last year.
The equity portion of the Fund declined -2.1% for the fiscal year ended, which compared to the S&P 500® return of 8.6%. Relative to the index, sector allocation and stock selection were detractive. For sector allocation, an underweight position in Technology adversely impacted performance. In terms of stock selection, there were positive results in Utilities, Industrials, Energy, Financials and Consumer Staples, which was more than offset by weakness in Technology, Health Care, Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary. Within Financials, asset manager BlackRock (BLK) was the most additive stock in the portfolio. In Technology, semiconductor manufacturer Texas Instruments (TXN) contributed nicely to results. Within Consumer Discretionary, home improvement retailer Home Depot (HD) outperformed. Other notable outperforming stocks include industrial distributor Fastenal (FAST) within Industrials and renewable power generator NextEra Energy (NEE) in Utilities. On the negative side, in Technology, software and service provider Microsoft (MSFT) was the most detractive stock in the portfolio. Router manufacturer Cisco Systems (CSCO) was another Technology stock that lagged the index. Within Financials, banks U.S. Bancorp (USB) and J.P. Morgan (JPM) negatively impacted results. Property and casualty insurer Chubb (CB) was another notable underperforming stock in Financials. The Fund sold off CB and MSFT, while continuing to hold aforementioned names.
During the fiscal year ended, the fixed portion of the Fund outperformed, returning 6.90%, compared to the Bloomberg Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Index’s return of 6.48%. The largest contributor to returns over the period was the funds increased allocation to credit holdings as risk premiums responded favorably to policy initiatives following the COVID-19 shut down.
After spending much of the period with a flat or inverted yield curve, recent policy changes have resulted in significant curve steepening as front-end rates anchored by Federal Reserve (Fed) policy fell, while longer rates rose in response to renewed economic activity.

increase purchases if volatility increases. Corporations have issued a record amount of debt this year but with the Fed actively involved in these markets, the implicit backstop continues to make corporate bonds attractive to purchase versus Treasuries.
Throughout the period, the Fund added corporate bonds as spreads remained wide by historic standards. Additionally, the Fund added asset-backed securities and nonagency mortgage backed securities given attractive relative valuations. The Fund sold Treasuries to fund most of these purchases. At current yield levels, short-to-intermediate Treasuries provide little value and are natural sell candidates. The Fund continues to own long Treasuries to provide a hedge if volatility returns.
We believe that while the domestic economy has bounced back significantly from the depths of the COVID-19 shut down, we are entering a more gradual and difficult period. The path forward is largely dependent upon the progress of reopening efforts and identification of successful COVID-19 therapies and vaccines. Against this backdrop, we expect increased market volatility across sectors. However, with monetary stimulus remaining at all-time highs, the stage is set for a significant rebound as the path forward becomes more certain.

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 managers’ ongoing assessment of the attractiveness of writing call options on the Fund’s stock holdings. In addition to providing income, covered call writing helps to reduce the volatility (and risk profile) of the Fund by providing downside protection.

Madison Covered Call & Equity Fund (Class Y) returned 7.34% for the one-year period, compared to the 9.71% return for the S&P 500® and -10.93% for its benchmark CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index. The Fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Options-Based, returned -1.20%.
Equity markets have certainly provided us with a variety of emotions over the past 12 months. The closing months of 2019 and the opening months of 2020 witnessed a continuation of the upward market trajectory which pervaded most of last year. COVID-19 ended that trend in mid-February as virus fears and the near shutdown of the global economy resulted in over a 30% market correction. Receding virus fears and a slow move to resume some economic activity prompted a very strong market rebound which eclipsed previous all-time highs by early September. With fears returning of a new virus resurgence and uncertainty over the upcoming presidential election, markets corrected somewhat and remained volatile as the period ended. With governments stepping in to provide a bridge to many of the economically affected, it remains uncertain how long this pandemic will last and when we can perceive a return to normal activity. Even as the talk of vaccines becomes more hopeful, a full return to normalcy is many months or quarters away. It is very difficult to predict a return to pre-pandemic conditions, but market activity appears to be very optimistically discounting a much quicker recovery than is likely. Covered call writing is, unquestionably, a conservative strategy and not expected to keep up in a bull market environment. We continue to maintain that the greater risk to the market is to the downside and we will execute the strategy in order to generate income and downside protection rather than increasing market exposure and risk.
While the Fund slightly lagged the overall market as defined by the S&P 500®, it outperformed its primary benchmark, the CBOE S&P Buywrite Index (BXM), by a very wide margin. This index essentially replicates a continual covered call strategy against the S&P 500® and is regarded as the passive alternative to a covered call strategy. As is typical with a defensive strategy such as ours, the Fund performed well during down market periods and did its best to keep up in upswings. During this period of wild market swings and differing market leadership, the Fund’s stock selections was a very strong positive contributor to returns. Many of the top contributors to performance were industrial or commodity cyclicals which
10
Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund - continued | October 31, 2020
rebounded strongly on the expectation of an economic rebound. Among the top performers were Range Resources in natural gas and Freeport McMoran in copper. Gold related holdings also performed well in such an uncertain period with Barrick Gold, Newmont and the VanEck Gold Miner ETF leading the way. Industrial cyclical FedEx also was among the better performers. On the negative side, consumer- related companies were among the underperformers. Lumen Technologies, Nordstrom and CVS were impacted negatively. Discovery and Alcoa also lagged during the period.
The Fund’s sector allocation was moderately negative primarily due to lower exposure to the Technology sector and higher exposure to the Energy sector.
The Fund’s cash exposure was generally a positive contributor to performance despite the fact that the market was up almost 10% during the period. However, the call option overlay was detractive to performance over the entirety of the period as would be expected during an up-market year. 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. Now that we have been through a severe correction, the subsequent recovery in the market makes us feel that risk awareness is lacking once again. With limited visibility into the potential outcomes in the near term, we believe it to be prudent to remain conservatively positioned.

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.

Relative to the index, sector allocation and stock selection were detractive. For sector allocation, an underweight position in Technology adversely impacted performance. In terms of stock selection, there were positive results in Utilities, Industrials, Energy, Financials and Consumer Staples, which was more than offset by weakness in Technology, Health Care, Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary. Within Financials, asset manager BlackRock (BLK) was the most additive stock in the portfolio. In Technology, semiconductor manufacturer Texas Instruments (TXN) contributed nicely to results. Within Consumer Discretionary, home improvement retailer Home Depot (HD) outperformed. Other notable outperforming stocks include industrial distributor Fastenal (FAST) within Industrials and renewable power generator NextEra Energy (NEE) in Utilities. On the negative side, in Technology, software and service provider Microsoft (MSFT) was the most detractive stock in the portfolio. Router manufacturer Cisco Systems (CSCO) was another Technology stock that lagged the index. Within Financials, banks U.S. Bancorp (USB) and J.P. Morgan (JPM) negatively impacted results. Property and casualty insurer Chubb (CB) was another notable underperforming stock in Financials. The Fund sold off CB and MSFT, while continuing to hold aforementioned names.

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 6.06% for the one-year period, while the S&P 500® Index returned 9.71% for the same period. The Fund slightly outperformed the Morningstar Large Blend peer group whose average return was 6.05% for the year. Similar to the comparable 2018 and 2019 periods, the current fiscal year end 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 with higher economic sensitivities while adding stocks of businesses that should be more resilient to classical economic cycles and COVID-related disruptions. The portfolio managers added five new stocks to the portfolio from the software, health care equipment, interactive media, media, and insurance industries over the course of the year that are expected to contribute positively to future returns. These new stocks are expected to be resilient to COVID-related disruptions and were purchased at what the fund managers believe were fair prices that should allow for price appreciation over time. Seven stocks were sold from the portfolio because they were deemed to have unfavorable prospective risk-reward profiles. As a group, the stocks sold are experiencing higher present-day business disruption from COVID-19 compared to the new stocks that were purchased. This activity led to fund turnover of 41%, which is near the higher 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.
Relative sector underperformance was most pronounced in the Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary Sectors, which returned 34.5% and 24.7%, respectively, within the S&P 500®, while the Fund’s holdings in those sectors returned less. The index’s returns in these two sectors was driven by mega cap information technology and internet retail stocks. Offsetting the underperformance from these two sectors, the Fund’s holdings outperformed the S&P 500® in the Energy, Industrials, Real Estate, Health Care, and Communications Services sectors, although by modest levels in each sector.

Madison Mid Cap Fund (Class Y) returned -3.52% for the one-year period, underperforming both its index and peer group. The Russell Midcap® Index returned 4.12% and the Morningstar Mid-Cap Blend peer group returned -0.96%.
The Fund’s underweight allocation to Healthcare and Information Technology, the two strongest performing sectors of the benchmark during the period, hurt the Fund’s relative performance. The other ten sectors of the Russell Midcap® Index were a -5.89% detractor to the benchmark return. Our positive contribution from sector allocation was driven by the poor performance from the Energy, Utilities, and Real Estate sectors. We benefitted from not owning any stocks in these three sectors. Our large overweight within the underperforming Financials sector was a drag on sector allocation, though stock selection within the sector was a partial offset. True to our bottom-up approach, our strongest contributors to performance came from some of our largest and highest conviction holdings, including three long-time holdings, one from the Communications Services sector and two from the Industrials sector.
Portfolio turnover was 24%, which is within our expected annual range of 20% to 30%. During the year, we established seven new positions and exited eight positions. Our bottom up process uncovered value in businesses that generally fell on the smaller end of midcap market capitalization range, as well as in industries considered to hold more value. This is not surprising as the hottest, and most expensive, areas of the stock market were more larger capitalization growth companies. As one example, we found value in stocks tied to the commercial real estate market. As COVID-19 hit and work-from-home became more commonplace, the stock market was quick to discard companies with exposure to commercial real estate, specifically office space. This wholesale selling left some business with strong competitive moats and able management teams trading at valuations that appeared far too cheap in relation to normalized earnings power, even if what is normalized moving forward may be a bit lower.
The positions exited during the year were sold for a variety of reasons, but most commonly were due to valuation, overall portfolio risk mitigation and to make room for new investments. The stocks sold represented a few different industries but were perhaps more pronounced in the Consumer Discretionary sector, where the selling was primarily due to stocks that had surpassed our estimates of fair value.

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.

On a macro level, the period experienced a global pandemic that silenced a globe, left millions of Americans out of work and left hundreds of thousands infected with a novel virus. As of this writing, 285,000 Americans have died, an unimaginable tragedy one year ago. The stock market experienced one of the quickest crashes in history when the global economy ground to a halt. Then, against almost any reasonable expectation, it roared back to record highs. In that context, the changes at the Madison Small Cap Fund seem minimal. During the period, our research team
13
Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison Small Cap Fund - continued | October 31, 2020
grew by two young analysts and one of our team members transitioned out of the Portfolio Management position, as he enters a new stage in his life. Investors in the Fund have been blessed with a long tenure from former Co-PM Rick Lane, CFA. His passion for investing has been a driving force in the fund since its inception in 1996. He continues to be an excellent advisor, analyst, and thinker and we believe he has formed a strong team in his place for decades to come. We have been grateful and excited to take the reins of managing the portfolio this year.
We came into the March 2020 swoon positioned with a slightly elevated cash level of 10% and a large overweight in Consumer Staples. Both those factors allowed us to preserve investor capital as much as possible in March. Once the dust settled, we went to work. Generally, we found opportunities in two main buckets: 1) companies that were well-positioned in the pandemic; and 2) cyclically exposed companies that should outperform during the early innings of an economic recovery. In the first bucket, we would point to our continued overweight in Staples, which drove most of our outperformance in 2020. As consumers spent more time at home, unable to travel or go to the office, home improvements boomed. Which ultimately benefited several of our housing and home improvement driven investments. We also found some outperformance in healthcare through our investments in diagnostics and life sciences. These investments saw strong demand for their services relating to vaccine and therapeutic effort. In the second bucket, we took advantage of volatility to increase our exposure to more cyclical industrials and financials.
Looking forward, we would characterize the portfolio at fiscal year-end as a blend of quality defense names and initial positions in the more cyclical investments that should react well in an eventual economic recovery. Despite these nuances, we continued to execute within our investment philosophy; purchasing stakes in companies with strong economic moats, attractive financial characteristics run by disciplined management teams. Defensive or offensive, we believe all our investments have a strong growth opportunity ahead of them.
The future is uncertain, and the recovery will probably be bumpy. We are cautious, but hopeful that the new vaccines will raise the country out of the pandemic state in the coming year. We think the portfolio reflects this cautious optimism. We further believe that the quiet, low volatility markets of the past several years have evolved into a more tumultuous backdrop. We are opportunistic investors and if we remain nimble, that volatility can provide further opportunities for excess returns. We wish everyone a safe and healthy remainder of 2020, as we optimistically anticipate better days ahead.

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.

Madison International Stock Fund (Class Y) returned -6.58% for the one-year period, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (net), which returned -6.86%. The Fund’s peer group, Morningstar Foreign Large Blend, returned -4.46%.
Strong stock selection in the communication services sector was additive to relative returns. Nintendo is a Japanese video game manufacturer whose thesis is driven by the transition to higher-margin digital sources of revenue. The company’s aggressive push into mobile gaming is also important to the thesis, as we expect it to increase the addressable market and allow the company to monetize its content to an audience beyond the Nintendo platform. While the video game industry is certainly a beneficiary of the fact that more people are staying home during the pandemic, our specific thesis on Nintendo proved strong. During the period, both gross margins and operating margins rose significantly, and the early indications on sales of new release games has been encouraging. Also in the sector, Japanese video game company Nexon, rose more than 140%. The company reported better-than-expected results during the period driven by their South Korean business, which similar to Nintendo, continues to benefit from increased gaming activity in the stay-at-home environment. Nexon also performed well on the surprising news that the company would be added to the Nikkei index. Additionally, the stock is performing well on the back of some successful video game launches. Stock selection was also beneficial in the industrials sector. ABB is a Switzerland-domiciled industrial conglomerate with leading positions in electrification, industrial automation, and robotics and motion. Our thesis is predicated on new management restructuring the business such that decisions are pushed out to the divisions to increase accountability and drive profitability back toward prior levels. During the period, the company handily beat consensus expectations. Organic order growth, revenues, and margin performance were impressive across all four divisions.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - Madison International Stock Fund - continued | October 31, 2020
In contrast, stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector hurt relative returns in the period. Compass Group is a high-quality catering and support services company domiciled in the United Kingdom. The stock understandably lagged during the first quarter because a significant portion of their business was shut due to the COVID-19 crisis. The stock did not rebound as the global economy began to reopen because the company chose to issue £2 billion in equity to reinforce the balance sheet and remove any liquidity questions from the investment. We, and the market, were a bit surprised to see them raise this much and they likely believe the rebound will be much more gradual than the market has initially forecasted. However, we believe this raise puts them in a very strong position for a recovery and enables them to cope with any shorter-term liquidity needs for at least three years. We continue to closely monitor the stock. Elsewhere, our performance was negatively impacted by a few stocks, including aerospace and defense company Safran and Canadian energy company Suncor, both in industries that were hit particularly hard by COVID-19 and the oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia in the first quarter. Suncor fell on the first quarter’s rapid decline in oil prices, which in turn resulted from the dual shocks of lower demand due to COVID-19 and the breakdown of supply agreements between OPEC and Russia. The stock remains in the eye of the storm as an oil producer in an unprecedented period of demand destruction. During the third quarter, the company decided to accelerate maintenance due to a fire at its base plant. That decision, coupled with continued low oil prices, has made for a difficult quarter for the stock. Continued maintenance, however, should prepare the company for the next few years, including the anticipated increase in capacity. We believe the company is making the right long-term decisions and we continue to like their assets and management. A moderately better environment for the industry could catalyze significant value creation at Suncor. We continue to monitor the stock closely. Safran is a French tier-1 supplier of systems and equipment in the aerospace industry and is a partner in the leading propulsion business in the world. The company’s partnership with GE has been very successful, and it remains the dominant propulsion provider in the narrow-body segment of the commercial airline industry. Our thesis on Safran is predicated on the fact that a significant portion of planes in the narrow-body fleet are reaching the age at which they will soon need their engines overhauled. We also view favorably the higher-margin after-market spares business, as well as the fact that the company’s service business is growing faster than the OEM business, driving total company margins and returns higher. The stock underperformed, as most commercial aircraft were grounded due to coronavirus-related restrictions on travel and business. We continue to view the company as a quality compounder due in part to the aforementioned growth of its after-market business. We expect Safran to rebound significantly when the virus subsides. In the meantime, its cash flow and strong balance sheet will help management navigate the challenging environment.
We believe that global markets have plenty of room to continue broadening, which would likely be positive for international stocks and for relative value stocks. Prior to mid-2019, our bottom-up research had guided us toward a portfolio with high return on equity (ROE) whose valuations ultimately became slightly elevated. In what appeared to be the late stages of a long-running economic cycle, we felt that higher-quality companies that would likely withstand a gradual downturn were worth a slightly higher valuation. However, as 2019 progressed, it was also clear that the market had become severely unbalanced, with growth outperforming value to a history-making degree – even before the pandemic. At the time, our analysts began to identify promising names that were a bit further down the relative value curve. These companies still had superior financial productivity, but cheaper valuations and some with a more cyclical orientation. Recognizing that adding these names could provide balance for the portfolio in an increasingly unbalanced market, our positioning gradually began to shift. The result was a portfolio with a lower valuation, but still producing a solid ROE premium.
On a regional basis, we are encouraged by developments in Europe, where valuations are deeply discounted. The 27 nations that make up the European Union passed a massive €750 billion stimulus package that was notable even more for its structure than its enormous size. Some €390 billion of the aid package is set to be given out as grants that do not need to be repaid, rather than as loans, and the member nations issued the debt to fund the stimulus collectively, using the EU’s credit rating. While the behind-the-scenes negotiations to get there were reportedly as acrimonious as ever, the end result is nevertheless a departure from the Europe of 10 years ago, in which the prosperous, efficient economies of northern Europe shunned any hint of debt mutualization with their indebted neighbors to the south. Some investors consider fiscal unity an implicit commitment to protect and continue the EU experiment, and we see anything that diminishes the existential threat at the heart of European assets as a boost for investors. As a result, the Euro has strengthened against the dollar enough to benefit risk assets, but not enough to hinder exporters. We see the stronger Euro as a sign of green shoots emerging, but we believe the catalyst for a true re-rating in European equities would be an improvement in corporate profits. We have not seen that happen in Europe or anywhere as yet, however.
Finally, while Japan has had strong performance this year, we remain underweight. While many Japanese stocks may look inexpensive, that’s because many earn very low financial returns. While this underweight to Japan was a detractor to performance, our stock selection in Japan was strong and more than offset the underweight. However, given the slow pace of corporate governance reforms, there are more compelling relative value stocks elsewhere in the world.
In conclusion, after a long period of what we feel is an irrational near-obsession with the most expensive growth stocks at the expense of most other names, the market seems to be warming up to the potential of undervalued stocks yet again. We believe that finding stocks that offer an attractive trade-off between valuation and the potential for value creation is always an important driver of long-term performance, and signs of re-emergence of more rational behavior in the marketplace is a welcome development for stock-pickers.

1On May 21, 2020, the Board of Trustees approved the liquidation of the Corporate Bond Fund, which was effective July 30, 2020, and the Government Money Market Fund, which was effective October 29, 2020.
2On May 21, 2020, the Board also approved the closure of the Class R6 shares of the Core Bond Fund and the conversion of such shares to Class Y shares, which was effective May 28, 2020, and the closure of Class B shares of the Large Cap Value Fund and the conversion of such shares to Class A shares, which was effective August 20, 2020.
3As 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.
4See Note 13 for a discussion of the Funds’ reorganization during the fiscal year.
5The Dividend Income Fund launched Class A shares on May 29, 2020, and such Class commenced operations effective June 1, 2020.
6The Dividend Income, Investors, and Mid Cap Funds launched Class I shares on August 31, 2020, and such Class commenced operations effective September 1, 2020.
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 charge, if any; and has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act as it relates to that Class or other Class-specific matters.
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 with Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Subadviser”), for the management of the investments of the International Stock Fund.
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 are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value.
Over-the-counter securities not listed or traded on NASDAQ are valued at the last sale price on the valuation day. If no sale occurs on the valuation day, an over-the-counter security is valued at the last bid price. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean of the best bid and ask prices across all option exchanges. Over-the-counter options are valued based upon prices provided by market makers in such securities or dealers in such currencies. Financial futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price established by the exchange(s) on which the contracts are primarily traded. Spot and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued based on quotations supplied by dealers in such contracts. Overnight repurchase agreements are valued at cost, and term repurchase agreements (i.e., those whose maturity exceeds seven days), swaps, caps, collars
49
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2020
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. For the year ended October 31, 2020, the funds have chosen to adopt the standard. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in the ASU impact disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. It is anticipated that this change will enhance the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and can include the entire standard or certain provisions that exclude or amend disclosures. For the year ended October 31, 2020, the funds have chosen to adopt the standard. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The adoption of the ASU is elective. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.
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 funds are informed of the dividend. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Amortization and accretion are recorded on the effective yield method.
Expenses: Expenses that are directly related to one fund are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are prorated to the funds on the basis of relative net assets. Class-specific expenses are borne by that class.
Classes: Income and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative net assets.
Repurchase Agreements: Each fund may engage in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a security is purchased for a relatively short period (usually not more than seven days) subject to the obligation to sell it back to the issuer at a fixed time and price plus accrued interest. The funds will enter into repurchase agreements only with members of the Federal Reserve System and with “primary dealers” in U.S. Government securities. As of October 31, 2020, none of the funds held open repurchase agreements.
The Trust has established a procedure providing that the securities serving as collateral for each repurchase agreement must be delivered to the funds’ custodian either physically or in book-entry form and that the collateral must be marked to market daily to ensure that each repurchase agreement is fully collateralized at all times. In the event of bankruptcy or other default by a seller of a repurchase agreement, a fund could experience one of the following: delays in liquidating the underlying securities during the period in which the fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, possible decreased levels of income, declines in value of the underlying securities, or lack of access to income during this period and the expense of enforcing its rights.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The funds’ books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency-denominated transactions (i.e., fair value of investment securities, assets and liabilities, purchases and sales of investment securities, and income and expenses) are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange. The funds enter into contracts on the trade date to settle any securities transactions denominated in foreign currencies on behalf of the funds at the spot rate at settlement.
Each fund, except the 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 had net realized losses of $368, and The International Stock Fund had net realized gains of $3,697 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 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
50
Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2020
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, 2020, none of the funds had open forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
If a fund enters into a forward foreign currency exchange contract to buy foreign currency for any purpose, the fund will be required to place cash or other liquid assets in a segregated account with the fund’s custodian in an amount equal to the value of the fund’s total assets committed to the consummation of the forward contract. If the value of the securities in the segregated account declines, additional cash or securities will be placed in the segregated account so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the fund’s commitment with respect to the contract.
Cash Concentration: At times, the funds maintain cash balances at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The funds monitor this credit risk and have not experienced any losses related to this risk.
Illiquid Securities: Each fund currently limits investments in illiquid investments as defined by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, to 15% of net assets at the time of purchase. 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. Based upon the determination of the Board of Trustees, at October 31, 2020, 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, 2020, 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, 2020 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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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):

Administrative Services Agreement. In addition to the management fee, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive an administrative services fee from each fund pursuant to the terms of a separate Administrative Services Agreement. Under this fee agreement, the Investment Adviser provides or arranges for each fund to have all of the necessary operational and support services it needs for a fee.
Expenses that are not included under this fee agreement are: (i) transaction-related expenses including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions paid in connection with fund transactions, interest or fees in connection with fund indebtedness or taxes paid in connection with portfolio securities held, (ii) Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees, (iii) acquired fund fees, if any, and (iv) any extraordinary or non-recurring expenses (such as fees and expenses relating to any temporary line of credit the funds maintain for emergency or extraordinary purposes).

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | October 31, 2020
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. Under the terms of these plans, each fund pays MFD Distributor, LLC (“MFD”) a service fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to each class of shares of that fund. The service fee is used by MFD to offset costs of servicing shareholder accounts or to compensate other qualified broker/dealers who sell shares of the funds pursuant to agreements with MFD for their costs of servicing shareholder accounts. MFD may retain any portion of the service fee for which there is no broker/dealer of record as partial consideration for its services with respect to shareholder accounts.
Distribution Fees (Class B and C shares only). Distribution plans have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under 1940 Act for Class B and C shares of each of the funds. Under the terms of each plan, each fund pays its principal distributor, MFD, a fee equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and C shares of that fund. MFD may use this fee to cover its distribution-related expenses (including commissions paid to broker/dealers for selling Class B and C shares) or distribution-related expenses of dealers. This fee increases the cost of investment in the Class B and C shares of a fund and, over time, may cost more than paying the initial sales charge for Class A shares.
The Shareholder Servicing & Distribution Fees are computed daily and paid monthly, at an annualized percentage rate of the average daily value of the net assets of each fund as follows:

MFD may from time to time voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds. For the year ended October 31, 2020, no fees were waived. MFD does not have the right to recoup these waived fees.
Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Funds. Rather, they are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment (Class A shares) or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance (Class A, B, and C shares), as applicable. MFD, in turn, uses a portion of these fees to pay financial advisors who sell Fund shares, as disclosed in the prospectus. The sales charges and CDSC collected and retained for the year ended October 31, 2020, were as follows:

4. DIVIDENDS FROM NET INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL GAINS
With respect to dividends from net investment income, Tax-Free Virginia, Tax-Free National, Core Bond, 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 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.

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 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 liquid 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. At the year end October 31, 2020, none of the funds held futures contracts.
Options on Futures Contracts. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Core Bond Fund and Covered Call & Equity 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.
At the year end October 31, 2020, none of the funds held options of futures contracts.
8. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Each fund, other than the Tax-Free Virginia and Tax-Free National Funds 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 to engage in securities lending with State Street Bank and Trust Company as securities lending agent pursuant to a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (the “Agreement”) and subject to certain securities lending policies and procedures. Under the terms of the Agreement, and subject to the policies and procedures, the authorized funds may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in order to generate additional income, while managing risk associated with the securities lending program. The Agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times by cash or U.S. government securities, initially equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic securities and 105% of non-domestic securities. The loaned securities and collateral are marked to market daily to maintain collateral at 102% of the total loaned portfolio for each broker/borrower. Amounts earned as interest on investments of cash collateral, net of rebates and fees, if any, are included in the 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, 2020, the aggregate fair value of securities on loan for the Madison fund family was $15,225,888. 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, as amended 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, 2020. 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 2017-2020.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

The differences between cost amounts for book purposes and tax purposes are primarily due to the tax deferral of wash sales.
Reclassification Adjustments. Paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income, and accumulated net realized gain (loss) have been adjusted in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for permanent book-tax differences for all funds.
Differences primarily relate to the tax treatment of net operating losses, paydown gains and losses, foreign currency gains and losses, return of capital and other distributions from real estate investment trusts and non-REIT, securities adjustments related to Treasury Inflation Protected securities(TIPS), distribution re-designations from investments in other regulated investment companies and unusable capital carry 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, accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency translations. Accordingly, at October 31, 2020, reclassifications were recorded as follows:

11. CERTAIN RISKS
Investing in certain financial instruments, including forward foreign currency contracts, involves certain risks. Risks associated with these instruments include potential for an illiquid secondary market for the instruments or inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts, changes in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and financial statements’ volatility resulting from an imperfect correlation between the movements in the prices of the instruments and the prices of the underlying securities and interest rates being hedged. The International Stock Fund may enter into these contracts primarily to protect the fund from adverse currency movements.
Investing in foreign securities involves certain risks not necessarily found in U.S. markets. These include risks associated with adverse changes in economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, changes in currency exchange rates, exchange control regulations, expropriation of assets or nationalization, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments or capital gains, and possible difficulty in obtaining and enforcing judgments against foreign entities. Further, issuers of foreign securities are subject to different, and often less comprehensive, accounting, reporting and disclosure requirements than domestic issuers.
The funds may be subject to interest rate risk which is the risk that the value of your investment will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the fair value of income-bearing securities. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally the longer a bond’s maturity, the more sensitive it is to risk. Federal Reserve policy changes may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility and may reduce liquidity for certain fund investments, which could cause the value of a fund’s investments and share price to decline. The Core Bond Fund may invest in derivatives tied to fixed-income markets and may be more substantially exposed to these risks than a fund that does not invest in derivatives.
The 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 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”).

13. FUND REORGANIZATION
After approval by shareholders at its individual Special Meetings held on September 2, 2020, the Core Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) acquired all of the assets, subject to liabilities, of the High Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) and the Dividend Income Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) acquired all of the assets, subject to liabilities, of the Large Cap Value Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) through a tax-free reorganization (the “Reorganization”), following the close of business on September 11, 2020.
Core Bond Fund
The net assets of the High Income Fund were reorganized into the Core Bond Fund on September 11, 2020. The Core Bond Fund was the legal and accounting survivor of the business combination, and therefore, its historical performance was retained. Under the plan of reorganization, the shares were exchanged as follows:

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements - concluded | October 31, 2020
14. IMPACTS OF COVID-19
The recent global outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted financial markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The performance of the funds’ investments depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the creation, distribution and efficacy of a vaccine. Events related to COVID-19 may result in further global economic disruption and market volatility which in turn may impact the value of each of the fund’s investments.
15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the funds through the date the financial statements were available for issue. Effective February 28, 2021, Madison will take over management of the International Stock Fund from Lazard Asset Management, LLC, the current Subadviser of the Fund. Other than this event, 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 Tax-Free Virginia Fund, Madison Tax-Free National Fund, Madison High Quality Bond Fund, Madison Core Bond Fund, Madison Diversified Income Fund, Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund, Madison Dividend Income Fund, Madison Investors Fund, Madison Mid Cap Fund, and Madison International Stock Fund, including the portfolios of investments as of October 31, 2020, 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 for Madison Small Cap Fund, which we have audited the statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2020, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended, the period from October 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019, and the year ended September 2019; 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, 2020, 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, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended, 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 financial highlights for the three 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 that took place as of August 30, 2019, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 20, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion 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. 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 adjustments 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, 2020, 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 a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of the Madison Funds (the “Trust”) held on August 8, 2020 (held in accordance with the SEC staff’s exemptive relief for certain in person meeting requirements), the Board, 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 Agreement between the Adviser and Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Lazard” or “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to the Madison International Stock Fund.
In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (together, the “Agreements”), the Adviser and Sub-Adviser furnished information necessary for a majority of the Independent Trustees to make the determination that the continuance of the Agreements was in the best interests of the respective funds and their shareholders. The information provided to the Board included: (1) data comparing management 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-Adviser’s personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the 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 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 Lazard, and representatives of the Adviser and Lazard, respectively, discussed with the Independent Trustees each of those additional inquiries at the August 2020 meeting.
In approving the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, as applicable; (2)the investment performance of each fund; (3)the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates, as applicable ; (4) economies of scale; and (5) the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board’s analysis of these factors is set forth below. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process.
With regard to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, 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. The Board recognized the wide array of investment professionals employed by the respective firm or firms. Representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser discussed or otherwise presented their respective firms’ ongoing investment philosophies and strategies intended to provide investment performance consistent with each fund’s investment objectives in a variety of market environments. The Trustees also noted their familiarity with the Adviser and its affiliates, as well as the Sub-Adviser, due to the Adviser’s long history of providing advisory services to the Funds, as well as the Sub-Adviser’s long history of providing sub-advisory services to the International Stock Fund.
The Board also discussed the quality of services provided to the Trust by its transfer agent, fund administrator and custodian, as well as the various administrative services provided directly by the Adviser.
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) was satisfactory.
With regard to the investment performance of the funds, the Board reviewed each fund’s current performance information, as provided in the written Board materials. The Board discussed the reasons for both outperformance and underperformance compared with peer groups and applicable indices and benchmarks. The Board 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. The Trustees 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 considered 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 Trustees 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 and economic 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 the same methodology this year as the prior year. The Board also considered that sometimes, the Morningstar categories the funds fall into do not precisely match a fund’s investment strategy and philosophy.
Based on their review, the Board determined that, given the totality of the above factors and considerations, each fund’s overall investment performance had been satisfactory.
With regard to the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and their respective affiliates, as applicable, from their 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 the same methodology this year as last year in terms of peer group selection.
The Board noted that the Adviser or its affiliates, and, as applicable, the Sub-Adviser, provided investment management services to other investment company and/or non-investment company clients and considered the management fees charged by the Adviser (and Sub-Adviser) to such funds and clients for purposes of determining whether the given management fee was disproportionately large under the so-called Gartenberg 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
61
Madison Funds | Other Information (unaudited) - continued | October 31, 2020
Trustees 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 also considered the following fee reductions, approved in May 2020 and effective in June 2020:
The Dividend Income Fund (1) permanently reduced its management fee from 0.75% to 0.70% and added a breakpoint fee schedule to its management fee, which requires the fee to decrease by 0.05% on assets exceeding $500 million, and by another 0.05% on assets exceeding $1 billion, and (2) reduced its administrative services fee for the Class Y shares from 0.35% to 0.20%. In conjunction with the fee reductions and the addition of the management fee breakpoints on assets, the Board terminated the contractual agreement between the Adviser and the fund whereby the Adviser contractually agreed to waive 0.10% of its management fee (from 0.75% to 0.65%) and 0.05% of its administrative services fee (from 0.35% to 0.30%).
The Investors Fund permanently reduced its management fee from 0.75% to 0.70%, therefore, the total annual fund operating expenses for all share classes of the Investors Fund were reduced by 0.05%.
The Mid Cap Fund reduced its administrative services fee for the Class Y shares from 0.23% to 0.20%, therefore, the total annual fund operating expenses for the Class Y shares were reduced from 0.98% to 0.95%.
The Trustees also considered that, effective August 7, 2020, the Adviser agreed to voluntarily waive 0.10% of its 0.30% management fee for the High Quality Bond Fund until at least February 27, 2021. The Board noted that this voluntary fee waiver could be amended or discontinued at any time without prior notice, and that such waived management fees were not subject to later recoupment by the Adviser.
With regard to the administrative services provided by the Adviser under a separate administrative services agreement (“Administrative Services Agreement”) with each fund, the Board acknowledged that the Adviser is compensated for the administrative services it provides or arranges to provide to each fund and that such compensation does not always cover all costs incurred by the Adviser because the Administrative 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 Administrative Services Agreement fees are paid by the Adviser from investment management 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 Trustees also noted that effective as of the date of the meeting (August 8, 2020), the Administrative Services Agreement were amended to reflect that Independent Trustee compensation, including Lead Independent Trustee compensation, will no longer by paid by the Adviser from the services fees it receives pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement and will therefore be directly paid by the funds. As part of its review of this change, the Board was provided with detailed information regarding the effect of such change on each fund’s expense ratio and the Adviser’s profitability.
In addition, 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 $18.2 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.
Following their review, the Board concluded that the costs for services provided by, and the level of profitability to, the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreements were reasonable considering the services provided. In considering the costs for services provided by, and profitability to, the Sub-Adviser, with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement relative to the International Stock Fund, the Board noted that the sub-advisory fees payable under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are paid by the Adviser out of the fees that it receives under the Investment Advisory Agreement and were negotiated by the Adviser at arm’s length. Consequently, the costs for services by, and profitability to, the Sub-Adviser with respect to its relationship with the International Stock Fund was not a substantial factor in the Board’s deliberations.
With regard to the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund’s assets increase, the Trustees recognized that at their current asset levels, it was premature to discuss any economies of scale not already factored into the compensation payable under existing Investment Advisory and Administrative Services Agreements. In addition, the Trustees recognized the fee changes that went into effect in June 2020, discussed above, and also that the Adviser was currently waiving certain fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement and/or Administrative Services Agreement with regard to the Government Money Market Fund. Further, the Trustees noted that the Adviser agreed to reduce its services fee for the Small Cap Fund until at least August 31, 2021. Because the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser’s 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-Adviser’s management of the International Stock Fund 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 management fee schedules. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the current management 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-Adviser. Counsel noted that the Independent Trustees had considered such materials in light of the Gartenberg standard as well as criteria either set forth or discussed in the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Jones v. Harris regarding the investment company contract renewal process under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Independent Trustees made a variety of additional inquiries regarding such written materials to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided satisfactory responses thereto.
In considering the renewal of the funds’ Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, as well as the Administrative Services Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them on a fund-by-fund basis, and their determinations were made separately with respect to each fund. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Investment Advisory Agreement (and, as applicable, the Sub-Advisory and Administrative Services Agreements), 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, Sub-Advisory and Administrative Services 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 management (and, as applicable, sub-advisory and services) fee is reasonable in light of the services received by the fund from the Adviser (and, as applicable, Sub-Adviser) and other factors considered; and (e) the Adviser’s (and Sub-Adviser, 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 Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders, and that with respect to the International Stock Fund, the 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 Administrative Services Agreement 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) transactions 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, 2020. Expenses paid during the period in the tables below are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half fiscal year period).
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values using actual expenses and actual returns for the funds. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table for the fund you own under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example of the funds you own with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other similar funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. The information provided in the hypothetical example table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, Madison Funds (the “Trust”) has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). The Program seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management for each series of the Trust (individually, a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”) and to protect fund shareholders from dilution of their interests. The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has appointed the funds’ Chief Compliance Officer as the program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator is required to provide an annual report to the Board regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program, including the operation of the highly liquidity investment minimum (“HLIM”), if applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
On May 21, 2020, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report for the period of the first quarter of 2019 through the fourth quarter of 2019 (the “Report”). The Report provided an assessment of each fund’s liquidity risk: the risk that a fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The Program assesses liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions. The Program Administrator uses State Street Bank and Trust Company, a third-party vendor, to provide portfolio investment classification services, and the Report noted that each fund primarily held investments that were classified as highly liquid during the review period. The Report noted that each fund’s portfolio is expected to primarily hold highly liquid investments and each fund will be considered a “primarily highly liquid fund” (as defined in the Program) and can therefore continue to rely on the exclusion in Rule 22e-4 from the requirements to determine and review a HLIM for each fund and to adopt policies and procedures for responding to a HLIM shortfall. None of the funds held a significant portion of illiquid investments and the Trust was not required to file Form N-LIQUID during the review period. The Report noted that no material changes had been made to the Program since the Board’s initial approval of the Program.
The Program Administrator concluded that each fund has been able to meet redemption requests in all market conditions during the review period without significant dilution to the fund’s remaining investors. The Program Administrator determined that the Program is functioning properly.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO SCHEDULES
The funds file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form NPORT-EX. Form NPORT-EX is available upon request to shareholders at no cost by calling 1-800-877-6089 or on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form NPORT-EX may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. More information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE
One of our most important responsibilities as investment company managers is to communicate with shareholders in an open and direct manner. Some of our comments in the “Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance” are based on current management expectations and are considered “forward-looking statements.” Actual future results, however, may prove to be different from our expectations. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as estimate, may, will, expect, believe, plan and other similar terms. We cannot promise future returns. Our opinions are a reflection of our best judgment at the time this report is compiled, and we disclaim any obligation to update or alter forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
RESULTS OF SHAREHOLDER VOTES
Special Meetings. Special Meetings of Shareholders (“Meeting”) were held on September 2, 2020, for each of the Madison Large Cap Value Fund and for the Madison High Income Fund (individually, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). At each Meeting, shareholders of the Fund voted on a proposal to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Liquidation (the “reorganization”) of the Fund in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of another Madison Fund. Specifically, shareholders of Large Cap Value Fund voted to approve the reorganization with and into the Dividend Income Fund, and High Income Fund shareholders voted to approve the reorganization with and into the Core Bond Fund.
A quorum of shareholders was necessary to hold a valid meeting and to consider the proposal, and the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast at least 20% of the votes entitled to be cast at each Meeting constituted a quorum. Approval of each reorganization required the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of a Fund, as defined under the 1940 Act. Abstentions and broker non-votes were considered present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business and had the effect of a vote against each reorganization. Each shareholder was entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value standing in such shareholder’s name on the books of the applicable Fund as of the record date for the Meeting.
The number of shares of the Large Cap Value Fund on June 15, 2020, the record date, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at its Meeting was 4,740,667.078 with a net asset value of $52,094,663.54.
The number of shares of the High Income Fund on June 15, 2020, the record date, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at its Meeting was 3,015,500.927 with a net asset value of $16,609,629.009.
At each Fund Meeting, the Reorganization proposal received the requisite votes and was approved. Votes were cast as follows:
Special Meeting of Large Cap Value Fund | % of O/S | % Voted | ||||||
For | 45.677 | % | 86.809 | % | ||||
Against/Withhold | 1.027 | % | 1.952 | % | ||||
