Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Period in Review
The trailing 12-month period has been an exceptionally rewarding experience for U.S. stock market investors. Propelled by the vaccine announcements of early November 2020, massive additional fiscal stimulus measures of early 2021, and excessively easy monetary policy, investors parlayed a monumental earnings recovery into a 43% return for the S&P 500® Index through October 31. The riskiest areas of the market led the way as evidenced by the 89% return for the S&P 500® High Beta Index and 51% showing from the small-cap Russell 2000® Index. International stocks also experienced sizeable gains but fell well short of domestic investments as the MSCI ACWI ex-US Index posted a 30% gain. Foreign markets were held back by the underperformance of emerging markets, most notably China which declined -9.0%. Whereas U.S. policy makers stomped both feet on the gas in terms of fiscal and monetary policy, China remained unwavering in addressing their debt excesses of the past cycle and kept two feet firmly on the policy brakes. Facing stiff headwinds from increasing interest rates and inflation expectations, bond markets were largely flat for the period with the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index falling -0.5%. Much like stocks, riskier securities experienced better returns with corporate bonds outperforming U.S. Treasuries.
Underneath the surface of the outsized market advance was a back-and-forth battle of leadership between economically sensitive reflation beneficiaries and the big growth stocks that have dominated for the past decade. Initially the U.S. equity market was led higher by the cyclical/reopening driven inertia generated from the late 2020 vaccine news and massive stimulus announcements. Value leaning sectors like energy and financials, as well as higher beta and smaller cap stocks vastly outperformed their growth and large cap counterparts. Interest rates and inflation expectations rose as investors priced in an explosive scenario for economic growth.
However, by mid-March the environment changed as value and small cap stocks began to underperform growth and large caps. Reversals in fortune weren’t limited to equities and the U.S. fixed-income market experienced one of the worst starts to a year in history. From December 31, 2020, to March 31, 2021, the interest rate on the U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note rose from 0.9% to 1.75%, resulting in a -3.4% return on the benchmark Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Since March 31, the 10-year yield reverted below 1.2% in August before moving back near 1.6% by the end of the period, and the index returned a much more favorable 1.9%.
Inflation dominated the headlines throughout the period. The increases in interest rates and the vast outperformance of reflation beneficiaries in the stock market indicated that investors were preparing for a big uptick in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The upturn arrived in mid-May with a reported 4.2% year-over-year rise in headline CPI. Big gains were to be expected given the very low CPI readings during the economic shutdowns and quarantines in the spring of 2020. However, moving into the end of the period inflation remained stubbornly high and rising at 5.4% year-over-year.
The evolution of inflation will be critical moving forward. Markets appear to be priced for a return to a lower inflationing environment over the coming year. Should inflation continue to run above expectations in 2022, the Federal Reserve could be forced to tighten policy more abruptly, which would likely lead to increased volatility and market disruption.
Since bottoming in late March 2020, the S&P 500® Index has increased by 111%, this performance in relation to a much lower, though very impressive, recovery in earnings has placed the index valuation near historical highs. Valuation is likely to act as a headwind on future equity returns. Overall, the U.S. economy remains in good shape, however we believe the rewards of unbridled risk-taking have likely peaked and that investors will be rewarded by being more discerning moving forward.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2021
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.

Madison Conservative Allocation Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 6.72% for the one-year period, compared to its Conservative Allocation Custom benchmark’s 12.33%. The Fund’s peer group, Morningstar Allocation 15-30% Equity, returned 10.06%. The Fund provided a sizable absolute return over the past 12 months; however relative performance fell short of our peers and benchmark. The Fund’s relative underperformance was driven by four factors, excess cash at the start of the period, gold miner stocks, an overallocation to emerging Asia, and underperformance from the Fund’s two largest core U.S. equity holdings.
The Fund entered the period quite conservatively positioned. At the time, concerns were mounting over the decelerating U.S. economy, election uncertainty and the second wave of COVID-19. However, by mid-November news of two successful vaccines and talk of more fiscal stimulus flipped the script and had investors panic buying risky assets ahead of the prospective reopening of the economy, and the S&P 500® Index jumped over 15% by year-end. The Fund’s defensive excess cash holdings provided a significant performance drag during the explosive market rally.
Gold miner stocks were a high conviction position that turned out to be an outsized detractor. We favored gold miners not only for their attractive free cash-flow yields, but also based on our belief that the backdrop was very favorable for gold. Inflation was likely to increase with a Federal Reserve that was prepared to do nothing about it, real interest rates looked to remain very low. Gold has historically been a solid inflation hedge and negatively correlated with real rates. The thesis played out in terms of inflation and real rates, however gold and gold miners experienced negative returns.
We also believed emerging Asia looked poised to thrive as the global economy came back to life. Valuations were favorable and emerging markets generally thrive during an early economic expansion. However, the region continued to struggle with COVID-19 and the associated lockdowns. Bigger yet, China continued to remain steadfast in dealing with the excess debts built up over the past decade, refusing not only to stimulate their slowing economy, but by mid-year began stepping up regulatory efforts that further eroded the profitability of their larger industries. Our overallocation to the underperforming region was a headwind.
Within U.S. equities, material underperformance from the Fund’s two largest core holdings was a significant factor in the Fund’s performance lag. Both positions focus on high quality, durable companies, which were generally out of favor as the market gravitated toward both low quality cyclical stocks and already highly valued big growth stocks during the period.
On the positive side, the Fund was boosted by solid relative returns within the fixed income allocation where results were well ahead of our bond benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, led by an overweight to corporate bonds and outperformance by our core active holdings. Within equites, our other inflation hedge, commodities, provided a sizable positive contributor to performance and our long-standing overweight to technology stocks aided results. On the international equity side, our small-cap position and overweight allocation to the United Kingdom both provided boosts.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2021
In terms of positioning changes, we eliminated our holdings in emerging Asia after it became clear that China was a detriment and our thesis had broken down. Cash holdings have been brought back to a more modest level, and we have increased our holdings in high quality U.S. growth stocks, which we believe to be best suited for the normalization of both the U.S. economy and monetary policy. Our holdings in gold miner stocks remain, and we believe these companies offer unique value in a generally expensive stock market. Recent results have better aligned with our expectations, and we believe the Fund is well positioned for the coming year.

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

The Madison Tax-Free Virginia Fund (Class Y) returned 0.10% for the one-year period, underperforming the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-22 Year Municipal Securities Index, which returned 2.33%. The Morningstar Municipal Single State Intermediate peer group returned 1.30% for the period.
The Fund’s relative performance is attributable to yield curve positioning, sector allocation and the overall credit profile of the individual holdings. Specific to maturity profile, the Fund’s underweight in the 15 to 22 year maturity range was detractive to performance as longer dated bonds experienced price appreciation as the yield curve shifted lower for much of the year. In addition, the Fund’s up in quality bias detracted from performance as lower rated bonds in the single A and BBB spectrum handily outperformed AAA and AA high grade securities. In particular, the Fund has a substantial weighting in Prerefunded and Escrowed to Maturity bonds (18%) which detracted from performance due to their ultra-safe but lower yielding characteristics. Finally, the state-specific nature of the Virginia Fund lends itself to higher quality bonds and lower yields versus a national benchmark.
The municipal bond market has outperformed most traditional fixed income markets during the 12-month period as investor demand was robust after the 2020 presidential and congressional elections. Municipal bonds are considered a safe haven for high-tax bracket individual investors and the incoming administration proposed higher tax rates for the wealthy to pay for infrastructure, social and climate initiatives. Although many proposals remain in flux, the overwhelming majority of investors believe tax rates will increase at some point and demand for tax-free municipal bonds reflected that belief.
In addition, another nearly $2 trillion stimulus bill passed in May provided much needed relief to municipalities struggling with the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds will be used for schools, mass transportation, ports and general state and local funding. These federal dollars relieved many credit fears in the municipal market that persisted throughout 2020 and added yet another reason to invest in tax-free income.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2021
The outlook for the municipal bond market is a mixed bag going into 2022. Although the reasons for continued robust demand remain in place (potentially higher taxes, lower net issuance and a natural fixed income diversifier), the general level and direction of interest rates could curtail additional flow of funds into the sector. Treasury rates have moved higher during the last couple of months as inflation concerns persist. In addition, the Federal Reserve has announced a curtailing of its Treasury and mortgage purchases and has indicated a possible increase in the Federal Funds rate sometime in the second half of next year. If rates move meaningfully higher, fixed income investors will be looking at negative returns and potentially moving some cash to alternative investments.
In general, we believe it is prudent to be conservatively positioned to guard against higher interest rates. We continue to position bonds in the intermediate tenor of the yield curve where the incremental yield pickup is the greatest before flattening out. We also like callable bonds as a yield enhancer while providing some protection from rising interest rates. We anticipate remaining up-in-quality from a credit perspective as lower rated bonds do not offer compensatory risk-return characteristics in our opinion.

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 Fund’s relative performance is attributable to yield curve positioning, sector allocation and the overall credit profile of the individual holdings. Specific to maturity profile, the Fund’s underweight in the 15 to 22 year maturity range was detractive to performance as longer dated bonds experienced price appreciation as the yield curve shifted lower for much of the year. In addition, the Fund’s up in quality bias detracted from performance as lower rated bonds in the single A and BBB spectrum handily outperformed AAA and AA high grade securities. The Fund’s higher allocation to local general obligation bonds and a substantial underweight to California and New York bonds versus the benchmark also was detractive to performance.

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.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2021
The Madison High Quality Bond Fund (Class Y) returned -1.21% for the one-year period, slightly outperforming the benchmark Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Government/ Credit A+ Bond Index, which returned -1.22%. The Fund underperformed the Morningstar Short-Term Bond category peer group’s return of 1.17% over the same period.
Conservative duration positioning was additive to returns to performance over the course of the period as interest rates moved sharply higher in response improving growth and a large-scale resumption in economic activity. Sector quality was additive to performance during the period as increased allocations to corporate credit contributed positively as credit risk premiums reacted favorably to economic growth. The portfolio’s conservative maturity positioning and high-quality holdings proved detractive to yield/income as the portfolio under yielded the benchmark. The shift in portfolio assets from 1-3 year Treasury to longer 7-10 year credit & agency holdings contributed to the positive impact of curve positioning during the period. Security selection contributed to portfolio returns over the period as risk premiums on high quality names tightened along with improved economic growth.
The Fund has recently adopted a more conservative view towards portfolio construction by allowing overall portfolio maturity to gradually decline while also taking a more selective view towards corporate securities. Recent market activity has increased our concern about the potential for rising rates and increased volatility in fixed income markets. As such we will continue to be selective regarding new purchases of corporate securities. We continue to view the 5-7 year maturities sector as relatively attractive given their position on a steeper yield curve providing meaningful yield relative to shorter issues. We anticipate continued curve steepening and will seek opportunities to move holdings out the curve as longer rates shift gradually higher. We feel that the opportunity to add 10-year maturities will come, but for now we will remain patient as we seek more attractive valuations to shift assets further out the curve.
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.

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.

The Madison Core Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 0.73% for the one-year period, beating the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which had a -0.48% return. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Intermediate Core Bond peer group, which returned -0.13% for the period.
The primary drivers of Fund performance versus the benchmark were an overweight to corporate bonds and a more conservative positioning within the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sector. Performance was also positively impacted by the yield advantage over the benchmark which averaged 20 basis points (bps) during the last year.
The Fund primarily added corporate bonds through the new issue market which continued to be robust. New issue concessions were attractive in late-2020 and early 2021 but have generally become poor over the last six months. The Fund also added high yield bonds which have performed well and generally have lower duration versus investment grade rated corporate bonds.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2021
When looking at the securitized sector, the Fund owns fewer fifteen and thirty-year agency MBS versus the benchmark. This underweight is due to tight spreads given the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing program and higher demand from depository institutions. The Fund is overweight asset-backed securities given attractive spreads versus short investment grade corporate bonds and Treasuries.
Finally, Fund performance was hurt by owning longer Treasuries versus the benchmark over the trailing one-year period. Since October 2020, the two-, ten- and thirty-year Treasury yields increased 35, 68 and 27 basis points, respectively. The Fund’s Treasury duration was 8-10% longer than the benchmark during the last year. However, the Fund’s overall duration versus the benchmark was shorter, ranging between 92% to 96%, which was additive to performance.
Looking forward, the Fund will look to reduce exposure to corporate bonds given tight valuations and slightly worsening fundamentals. The Fund also will look to shift some of its corporate exposure into financials versus industrials given expected higher shareholder returns through mergers, dividend increases and share buybacks. Proceeds from corporate sells will be allocated into MBS and Treasuries until better valuations exist.

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 21.74% for the one-year period, outperforming 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 19.54%. The Fund underperformed its Morningstar Moderate Allocation category peer group, which advanced 25.82% over the last year.
The equity portion of the Fund returned 34.74% for the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2021, which compared to the S&P 500® Index return of 42.91%. Relative to the index, sector allocation and stock selection were detractive. For sector allocation, underweight positions in Energy and Technology adversely impacted performance. Within Technology, there were several large companies that don’t pay a dividend and are therefore outside of the Fund’s investable universe. In terms of stock selection, there were positive results in Materials and Technology, which was more than offset by weakness in Health Care, Financials, Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary. Within Materials, steel producer Nucor (NUE) was the most additive stock in the portfolio. In Financials, asset manager BlackRock (BLK), asset custodian Northern Trust and global bank J.P. Morgan (JPM) each contributed nicely to results. Another notable outperforming stock was mining equipment manufacturer Caterpillar (CAT). On the negative side, in Communication Services, wireless phone carrier Verizon Communications (VZ) was the most detractive stock in the portfolio. Within Health Care, pharmaceutical

manufacturer Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) trailed the index. In Utilities, integrated energy company Dominion Energy (D) negatively impacted results. Other notable underperforming stocks were global fast food restaurant McDonald’s (MCD) in Consumer Discretionary and global snack manufacturer Nestle (NSRGY) in Consumer Staples. The Fund sold NSRGY during the period and continues to hold all other stocks mentioned.
The fixed portion of the Fund outperformed by 106 basis points, returning 0.59% versus the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index’s return of -0.47%. 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. Additionally, the portfolio’s yield advantage over the benchmark contributed positively to returns throughout the period.
We have recently adopted a more conservative view towards portfolio construction by allowing overall portfolio maturity to gradually decline while also taking a more selective view towards corporate credit. Recent market activity has increased our concern about the potential for rising rates and increased volatility in fixed income markets. The Fund has been gradually reducing and recycling credit risk while also diversifying holdings of securitized assets. The Fund continues to have a slightly more conservative duration position versus the index but maintains a yield advantage over the benchmark. We feel that the opportunity to add longer maturity issues will come, but for now we will remain patient as we seek more attractive valuations to shift assets further out the curve.

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 31.54% for the one-year period, compared to the 42.91% return for the S&P 500® Index and 31.54% for its benchmark CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index. The Fund’s peer group, the Morningstar Derivative Income, returned 26.64%.
Over the past 12 months, equity markets have steadily moved higher on a combination of economic reopening optimism and a continuing stream of global central bank liquidity which has had very few places to flow other than into equities. The Fund had kept pace with the S&P 500® Index for the first eight months of the period as it was positioned to benefit from a cyclical market recovery which, in fact, occurred. As the period came to a close, however, the market sustained its upward momentum but with more growth oriented, large cap stocks retaking the leadership role. In this environment, the Fund gave up relative performance. Despite lagging late in the period, the Fund’s overall return was quite good. 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.

Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2021
As noted above, during the first portion of the period, cyclical sectors such as Energy, Financials and Industrials led the market’s resurgence. In the very early part of the period, industrial commodity exposed sectors also were very strong performers as global demand ramped up with the expectation of strong post-COVID economic growth although this area stalled as concerns grew over the inflationary impact of the price strength of certain commodities. The Fund entered the period with meaningful exposure in the Energy, Financial and Materials sectors and benefitted from their market leadership. The materials exposure was reduced as inflationary concerns grew. The Fund also remained underexposed to large cap growth holdings which are typically found in the Technology or Communication Services sectors. As these sectors lagged cyclicals, the Fund was able to keep up in a strong market given its structural positioning. This advantage reversed later in the period as momentum shifted to the large cap growth areas of the market. The Fund, which has also been defensively positioned via call writing and cash holdings, became even more defensively skewed as the market unrelentingly move higher. This was also a factor in the Fund lagging the market later in the period. From an attribution perspective relative to the S&P 500® Index, stock selection and sector allocation during the period were both very positive while exposure to cash and the call option overlay were detractive to relative performance. 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. We believe that the market has already discounted much of the positive scenario and has shown indifference to any negative scenarios. Fiscal and monetary accommodation, which has been a key support for markets, is in the later innings of influence. Federal Reserve tapering is coming soon, and we are just about done with the multi-trillion dollar fiscal aid packages coming out of D.C. If liquidity has been the primary fuel of this long bull market, we fear that with less fuel, the bull will stall. Earnings fundamentals have been a beneficiary of the market liquidity, but profit margins are set to be challenged on a number of fronts. The market prices itself on expectations. If expectations step lower, the market will reprice itself lower as well. Right now, we think expectations are too rosy and, as such, we continue to believe that a defensive posture is the right course of action.

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 Index’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 to the Fund’s performance during the period. For sector allocation, underweight positions in Energy and Technology adversely impacted performance. Within Technology, there were several large companies that don’t pay a dividend and are therefore outside of the Fund’s investable universe. In terms of stock selection, there were positive results in Materials and Technology, which was more than offset by weakness in Health Care, Financials, Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary. Within Materials, steel producer Nucor (NUE) was the most additive stock in the portfolio. In Financials, asset manager BlackRock (BLK), asset custodian Northern Trust and global bank J.P. Morgan (JPM) each contributed nicely to results. Another notable outperforming stock was mining equipment manufacturer Caterpillar (CAT). On the negative side, in Communication Services, wireless phone carrier Verizon Communications (VZ) was the most

detractive stock in the portfolio. Within Health Care, pharmaceutical manufacturer Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) trailed the index. In Utilities, integrated energy company Dominion Energy (D) negatively impacted results. Other notable underperforming stocks were global fast food restaurant McDonald’s (MCD) in Consumer Discretionary and global snack manufacturer Nestle (NSRGY) in Consumer Staples. The Fund sold NSRGY during the period and continues to hold all other stocks mentioned.

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

The Madison Investors Fund (Class Y) returned 32.72% for the one-year period, while the S&P 500® Index returned 42.91% for the same period. The Fund underperformed the Morningstar U.S. Large Blend peer group return of 40.38% for the year. We believe the sentiment in financial markets for the period is best characterized as “risk-seeking.” The Fund’s returns have historically trailed those of broader market indices during periods when the prevailing sentiment is risk-seeking.
Portfolio turnover was 17% over the period, and the Fund managers endeavored to improve the risk-reward proposition of the portfolio over the period. The portfolio managers added four new companies to the portfolio during the period from the following industries: internet & direct marketing retail, multi-line insurance, IT services, and machinery. These new holdings are expected to contribute positively to future returns, driven by fundamental factors related to business model and management quality. Furthermore, the new companies were purchased at prices the fund managers believe should allow for good appreciation over time. For example, the Fund’s new machinery stock is expected to benefit from a recovery in global OEM automotive production, increased commercial truck production, increasing oilfield rig counts, a recovery in commercial aerospace activity, increased capital spending on semiconductor fabrication facilities, and a pick-up in general industrial production as supply chain disruptions improve for the global economy.
Four companies were sold from the portfolio because they were deemed to have unfavorable prospective risk-reward profiles. In particular, the Fund’s specialized REIT holding was sold when its stock price exceeded the Fund managers’ expected value for the business. An IT service stock was sold as employee turnover escalated at the business, and an interactive media & services company was sold due to a sharp change in its capital allocation priorities that increased the uncertainty of returns on those capital plans. We believe the turnover has been productive because it related to improving the risk-reward proposition of the Fund.
For the year, the Fund underperformed compared to the S&P 500® Index’s return. The portfolio is positioned in growing, resilient, well-managed, highly profitable and conservatively capitalized businesses, with their stocks trading a good valuations. We perceive that the prevailing financial market sentiment over the past year favored groups of businesses with different characteristics, including new-entrant business models with narratives around their disruptive potential. Also, stocks of businesses perceived as enabling digital commerce have also experienced spectacular appreciation over the recent past, including the past year. The Fund’s underweight to these

groups of stocks has been a relative performance headwind. The portfolio managers are optimistic that the expectations embedded in current stock prices provide a good opportunity for future relative outperformance for the Fund.

Madison Mid Cap Fund (Class Y) returned 38.89% for the one-year period, underperforming both its index and peer group. The Russell Midcap® Index returned 45.40% and the Morningstar Mid-Cap Blend peer group returned 45.09%.
The primary detractors were our stocks in the Financials and Communication Services sectors not keeping pace with sector peers as well as not owning any stocks in the two best performing sectors – Energy and Real Estate. Our overweight in Financials, the third best performing sector, did not help because our insurance stocks did not keep pace with other financial-related companies for most of the period. It is encouraging that our insurance holdings were a significant contributor to our outperformance during the last month of the period. True to our bottom-up approach, our strongest contributors to performance came from some of our largest and highest conviction holdings, spread across the Health Care, Information Technology, and Industrials sectors.
Portfolio turnover was 21%, which is within our expected annual range of 20% to 30%. During the year, we established seven new positions and exited six positions.
Two notable new positions were Cannae Holdings and PACCAR. While both check the box for two of our three investment pillars – good business model and attractive valuation – they are excellent examples of the third pillar: a high-quality management team.
Cannae Holdings is an investment holding company chaired by Bill Foley, an investor-executive with one of the most impressive long-term entrepreneurial track records in corporate America. The majority of Cannae’s value is in publicly-traded companies, which means its net asset value (“NAV”) can be reliably estimated. We purchased Cannae stock at an approximately 30% discount to its NAV.
PACCAR is the second largest manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks in the United States. PACCAR has best-in-class margins to go along with its superb +20% returns on capital. Despite operating in a notoriously cyclical industry, the company has been profitable for 82 consecutive years, and has paid a dividend every year for 50 years. PACCAR was ably led by a member of the founding Pigott family for many decades until two years ago, when a non-family member was chosen as CEO for the first time. The family remains heavily involved with a large ownership stake and Mark Pigott is remaining in the chairman role that he’s held for a quarter century.
Two notable exits were Fastenal and HD Supply. Fastenal is one of the largest industrial supply distributors in the country. We purchased our stake in 2014, and we near-tripled that original investment through capital appreciation and dividends, handily outpacing our index. In December 2020, we received cash for our shares of HD Supply, which had agreed to be acquired by Home Depot. We initially invested in the summer of 2019, so it was a short but successful investment. We would have been happy to hold on for a longer ride. But we’re not going to complain about a bird in hand.

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.

Madison Small Cap Fund (Class Y) returned 50.50% for the one-year period, which slightly underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index return of 50.80%. The Fund’s peer group, Morningstar U.S. Small Blend, returned 53.46%.
The equity markets enjoyed a strong year and the Fund’s fiscal year-end will be remembered as a period of optimism and hope for the end of the pandemic. Vaccine clinical data was encouraging, lockdowns were lifted and companies began ramping up production to meet up with demand. Economically cyclical companies were strong performers in the year, as investors repositioned portfolios into recovery and away from “stay-at-home” companies.
However, the incredibly easy monetary policy and rapid reopening did have an unforeseen effect on the global economy. Supply chains stretched and broke under the strain of demand. Companies struggled to maintain adequate inventories. Workers were less enthused about returning to full time on-premises work. Projects, both construction and otherwise, experienced delays and cost overruns. In short, we had too much demand and too little supply of everything. Prices rose and the fears of hyperinflation overshadowed the otherwise rosy economic backdrop. The market shifted federal tapering expectations to early 2022 from 2023. This inflation debate combined with the rise in the Delta variant was the key macroeconomic factor for markets in 2021.
The economic forces at play certainly brought volatility back into the equity markets. The market is uncertain, there was a tug of war between economically sensitive, cyclical companies and growth companies. Our strategy was to balance the portfolio with a mix of quality more cyclical investments and quality growth companies whose valuations were palatable.
Looking forward, it seems the pandemic is far from over. However, the general population, businesses, supply chains and policy makers are adapting, and we believe the probability that economic adversity from future variants is low. The broader debate about inflation and monetary policy will continue to drive volatility in the markets. We think this is an excellent backdrop to find strong enduring companies with attractive growth potential. Our long-term investors know that quality and durability are primary traits in the companies we own. Which allows those companies to have pricing power that can overcome the cost pressures of the tight global supply chain.
If inflation is persistent, rather than transitory, investors generally prefer asset classes with return profiles strong enough to beat inflation. Small-cap companies have historically performed well versus other asset classes during inflationary periods. Additionally, the rise of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) has created many public companies with limited brokerage coverage in our universe. We believe these inefficiencies can be exploited by our time-tested investment process. There is a lot of excess in the
15 |
Madison Funds | Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance - continued | October 31, 2021
market, but that is to be expected at this point in the market cycle. Especially given the immense monetary stimulus that the markets experienced. Furthermore, the excess in the broader averages is driven by a small percentage of stocks. While the averages have advanced to record highs, most stocks have not and a significant subset have had severe sell offs. Our private market value process is designed to sift this river of opportunity for overlooked small cap companies we believe are durable and strategic assets.

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 50-70 individual securities in its portfolio at any given time.

Madison International Stock Fund (Class Y) returned 20.83% for the one-year period, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Ex USA Index (net), which returned 29.66%. The Fund’s peer group, Morningstar Foreign Large Blend, returned 31.46%.
The portfolio was transitioned from a previous subadviser on March 1, 2021, and therefore the performance and attribution commentary below will reference the period of March 1, 2021 - October 31, 2021. For this eight-month period, the Fund returned 2.40%, underperforming its benchmark the MSCI ACWI Ex USA Index (net), which returned 6.09%.
The COVID-19 global pandemic that has been prevalent for almost two years continued to influence political and economic decision making during the fiscal year. Negative effects from lockdowns and travel restrictions on business activity and economic growth lead major central banks to maintain loose monetary policy. However, as a recovery in GDP growth from prior year lows broadly continued, higher inflation levels became a more pressing concern. Now, many of these central banks are contending with rising inflation and the careful balance of monetary policy normalization to avoid economic destabilization.
Looking at the benchmark’s performance during the eight-month period in more detail, we saw that from a regional category perspective, North America realized the highest positive total return. In contrast, Emerging Markets realized the lowest negative total return. From a sector perspective Energy was by far the best performing, while Communication Services stood out with the most negative total return.
In comparing the Fund’s performance to the index, Emerging Markets was the largest regional detractor from relative performance relating to stock selection, however our Portfolio underweight had a positive impact. On the other hand, Pacific ex-Japan was the most significant contributor with stock selection as the key driver. From a sector point-of-view, Financials was the largest detractor, while the leading positive contributor was Consumer Discretionary. Stock selection was the dominant reasoning for both outcomes. The cash position detracted slightly given the positive index return. Larger sector allocation changes included moving from an underweight to overweight in Consumer Discretionary, and a decreased overweight in Financials despite one new addition. Over the period, a total of three new stocks were bought while five were sold. Three were sold for better opportunities, one related to deteriorating fundamentals, and one stock was taken private which realized a profit. For the Portfolio, sector and regional weights are determined through bottom-up stock selection, with internal sector and regional guardrails that keep exposure within modest tilts of the benchmark to ensure diversification and to manage risk.

In the near-term, global growth may be more volatile depending on the recovery trajectory and elevated inflation levels could persist. However, on a longer-term view, we anticipate the economic environment to be characterized by mild global growth and a more uncertain inflationary backdrop. Regardless of the path of the global pandemic, our team remains committed to employing our time-tested investment process to select high-quality growth companies with attractive valuations in a consistent and disciplined manner.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued
Over-the-counter securities not listed or traded on NASDAQ are valued at the last sale price on the valuation day. If no sale occurs on the valuation day, an over-the-counter security is valued at the last bid price. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean of the best bid and ask prices across all option exchanges. Over-the-counter options are valued based upon prices provided by market makers in such securities or dealers in such currencies. Financial futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price established by the exchange(s) on which the contracts are primarily traded. Spot and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued based on quotations supplied by dealers in such contracts. Overnight repurchase agreements are valued at cost, and term repurchase agreements (i.e., those whose maturity exceeds seven days), swaps, caps, collars and floors, if any, are valued at the average of the closing bids obtained daily from at least one dealer.
Through the end of this reporting period, the value of all assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies was converted into U.S. dollar values using the then-current exchange rate at the close of regular trading on the NYSE.
All other securities for which either quotations are not readily available, no other sales have occurred, or in the Investment Adviser’s opinion, do not reflect the current fair value, are appraised at their fair values as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee ( the “Committee”) and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. When fair value pricing of securities is employed, the prices of securities used by the funds to calculate NAV may differ from market quotations or NOCP. 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. In addition to the fair value decisions made by the Committee noted above, the Committee also engages 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 Board of Trustees. Such adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities are applied automatically upon market close if the parameters established are exceeded. A foreign security is also automatically fair valued if the exchange it is traded on is on holiday.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (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.
Share 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, 2021, 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.

Madison Funds | October 31, 2021
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued
Foreign Currency Transactions: The fund’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency-denominated transactions (i.e., fair value of investment securities, assets and liabilities, purchases and sales of investment securities, and income and expenses) are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange. The funds enter into contracts on the trade date to settle any securities transactions denominated in foreign currencies on behalf of the funds at the spot rate at settlement.
Each fund, except the 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 ($16), and The International Stock Fund had net realized gains of $8,558 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 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, 2021, 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, 2021, 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, 2021, 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.
3. 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.)
58 |
Madison Funds | October 31, 2021
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued
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, 2021 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, 2021, 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, 2021, in valuing the funds’ investments carried at fair value (please see the Portfolio of Investments for each fund for a listing of all securities within each category):

The annual administrative services fee was simultaneously reduced from 0.25% to 0.20%. Madison does not have the right to recoup any waived fees. |
Expenses that are not included under this fee agreement are paid directly by the funds. See "Other Expenses".
The Investment Adviser may from time to time, contractually or voluntarily, agree to waive a portion of it’s the administrative services fees and/or reimburse each fund’s operating expenses to ensure that each fund’s operating expenses do not exceed the expense limitation listed below. Contractual fee agreements may by modified or terminated at any time or for any reason, but only with fund Board approval. Any fees waived will not be subject to later recoupment by Madison. During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Investment Adviser waived $35,536 in Administrative Services fees for the Small Cap Fund.
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 October 31, 2021, 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, 2021, were as follows:

Officers and Trustees: Certain officers and trustees of the funds are also officers of the Investment Adviser. The funds do not compensate their officers or affiliated trustees. Independent Trustees are compensated from the funds.
6. 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 Moderate Allocation, Aggressive Allocation, Investors, Mid Cap, Small Cap and International Stock Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, annually. The funds distribute net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, to shareholders annually.
Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Taxable distributions from income and realized capital gains in the funds differ from book amounts earned during the period due to differences in the timing of capital gains recognition, and due to the reclassification of certain gains or losses from capital to income. Dividends from net investment income are determined on a class level. Capital gains are determined on a fund level.
7. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

8. 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).
63 |
Madison Funds | October 31, 2021
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued
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 4 for information on derivatives.
9. 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.
During the year ended October 30, 2021, the Fund did not enter into any futures contracts.
Options on Futures Contracts. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Core Bond Fund 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 funds’ obtain 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 funds’ assets. By writing a call option, the funds become 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 funds intend to purchase. However, the funds become obligated to purchase a futures contract, which may have a value lower than the exercise price. Thus, the loss incurred by the funds in writing options on futures is potentially unlimited and may exceed the amount of the premium received.
During the year ended October 31, 2021, the funds did not enter into any options on futures contracts.
10. 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.
11. 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
64 |
Madison Funds | October 31, 2021
Notes to the Financial Statements - continued
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, 2021, the aggregate fair value of securities on loan for the Madison Fund family was $32,267,151. 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.

12. FEDERAL 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, 2021. 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 October 31, 2018 through October 31, 2021.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 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-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, 2021, reclassifications were recorded as follows:

13. 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.

Madison Funds | October 31, 2021

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.

15. IMPACTS OF COVID-19
The 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.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the funds through the date the financial statements were available for issue. Madison will launch a new Fund, the Madison Sustainable Equity Fund, with an inception date of December 31, 2021. The Fund will commence operations on January 3, 2022. 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 the 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, 2021, 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, 2021, the related statement 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, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, the period from October 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019, and the year ended September 30, 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, 2021, 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, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, the period from October 1, 2019 through 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 two 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, 2021, 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 5, 2021, the Board, and by a separate vote, the Independent Trustees of the Trust, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “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”).
In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser furnished information necessary for a majority of the Independent Trustees to make the determination that the continuance of the Agreement 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 personnel. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees reviewed the proposed continuance of the Agreement 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 Agreement. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the proposed continuation of the Agreement with independent legal counsel in a private session at which no representatives of management were present. The Independent Trustees made a variety of additional inquiries regarding the written materials provided by the Adviser and representatives of the Adviser and discussed with the Independent Trustees each of those additional inquiries during the meeting.
In approving the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors, among them: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser; (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 and their respective affiliates; (4) economies of scale; and (5) the terms of the 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 to be provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the biographies and tenure of the personnel involved in Trust management and the experience of the Adviser and its affiliates as investment manager to other investment companies with similar investment strategies or to individual clients or institutions with similar investment strategies. They recognized the wide array of investment professionals employed by the Adviser. Representatives of the Adviser discussed or otherwise presented their 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, due to the Adviser’s long history of providing advisory services to the funds.
The Board also discussed the quality of services provided by the Trust by its applicable transfer agent, sub-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 to the funds were satisfactory.
With regard to the investment performance of the Trust and the investment adviser, the Board reviewed current performance information provided in the written Board materials. They discussed the reasons for both outperformance and underperformance compared with peer groups and applicable indices and benchmarks. They recognized that the usefulness of comparative performance data as a frame of reference to measure a fund’s performance may be limited because the performance peer group, among other things, may not precisely reflect the objectives and strategies of the fund, may have a different investable universe, or the composition of the peer group may be limited in size or number as well as other factors. They discussed the unique aspects of the securities markets applicable to particular funds so that the performance of any such funds could be reviewed in context. They reviewed both long-term and short-term performance and considered the effect on long-term performance that may have been attributable to any previous investment advisers/sub-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 Board also noted that on a quarterly basis, they review detailed information for each fund, including investment performance results, portfolio composition and investment philosophies, processes, and strategies. In addition, the Board also considered the Adviser’s quarterly portfolio commentary and discussion of each fund’s performance. They also considered whether any relative underperformance was appropriate in view of the Adviser’s conservative investment philosophy. The Board noted the type of market environments that favor the funds’ strategies and discussed the funds’ performance in such market environments. Representatives of the Adviser discussed with the Board the methodology for arriving at peer groups and indices used for performance comparisons which, with respect to peer groups, followed the same process 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 investment adviser from the relationship with the Trust, the Board reviewed the expense ratios for a variety of other funds in each fund’s peer group with similar investment objectives. Like the performance comparisons described above, the expense comparisons followed the same methodology as last year in terms of peer group selection.
The Board noted that the Adviser or its affiliates, provided investment management services to other investment company and/or non-investment company clients and considered the advisory fees charged by the Adviser to such funds and clients for purposes of determining whether the given advisory fee was disproportionately large under

the so-called Gartenberg standard traditionally used by investment company boards in connection with advisory 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 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, the higher turnover of mutual fund assets and the additional compliance and regulatory work associated with managing a 1940 Act fund. The Board gave such comparisons the weight that they merit in light of the similarities and differences between the services that the various funds require. They considered that, if the services rendered by the Adviser 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 acts as an investment 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 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 relatively simple expense structure maintained by the Trust, an advisory fee and a capped administrative “services” fee, plus expenses for Trustee compensation which are not covered by the administrative services fee. 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, which were effective February 28, 2021:
The Adviser contractually agreed to waive 0.10% of its 0.30% annual management fee for the High Quality Bond Fund until at least February 27, 2022 (which was previously being voluntarily waived). The contractual fee waiver agreement may be terminated by the Board of Trustees of the Fund at any time and for any reason; however, the Board has no intention of terminating this agreement in the next year. Any fees waived will not be subject to later recoupment by Madison.
The Core Bond Fund contractually agreed to (1) reduce its management fee from 0.50% to 0.39%, (2) increase its administrative services fee from 0.15% to 0.20% for Class A, B and Y shares; however, the overall expense ratio for these share classes was reduced due to the lower management fee; and (3) set the administrative services fee for Class I shares of the Fund at 0.10%.
The Small Cap Fund contractually agreed to (1) reduce its management fee from 1.00% to 0.89% for all share classes, (2) terminate the administrative services fee waiver of 0.04% for Class A and Class Y shares, and (3) reduce the annual administrative services fee from 0.25% to 0.20% for Class A and Class Y shares, and (4) set the administrative services fee for Class I shares at 0.10%.
With regard to the administrative services provided by the Adviser under a separate Services Agreement, the Board acknowledged that the Adviser is compensated for the administrative services it provides or arranges to provide to each of these funds and that such compensation does not always cover all costs incurred by the Adviser because the Services Agreement effectively acts as a cap on administrative expenses. Therefore, the Board recognized that some of the administrative, operational, regulatory or compliance fees or costs in excess of the Services Agreement fees are paid by the Adviser from investment advisory fees earned. In this regard, the Trustees noted that examination of each fund’s total expense ratio compared to those of other investment companies was more meaningful than a simple comparison of basic “investment management only” fee schedules.
The Trustees also noted that the Services Agreement was amended in August 2020 to reflect that Independent Trustee compensation, including Lead Independent Trustee compensation, is no longer being paid by the Adviser from the services fees it receives pursuant to the Services Agreement and, instead, is directly paid by the funds.
In addition, the Board recognized that to the extent a fund invests in other mutual funds also managed by the Adviser, the Adviser receives investment advisory fees from both the fund and the underlying mutual fund. The Board were satisfied in this regard that the Adviser provides separate services to each respective 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 $19 billion as of December 31, 2020, and approximately $25 billion at the time of the meeting. The recent increase in assets was due, in part, to the acquisition of the Milwaukee-based Reinhart Fixed Income team, fixed income investment strategies and clients. 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, each 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 with respect to the Investment Advisory and Services Agreement were reasonable considering the services provided.
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 Services Agreement. In addition, the Trustees recognized the fee changes that went into effect during the period, discussed above, and also that the Adviser was currently waiving certain fees under the Investment Advisory Agreements and/or Services Agreements with regard to: the High Quality Bond Fund, as well as the Conservative, Moderate and Aggressive Allocation Funds.

The Board recognized that another method to help ensure the shareholders share in any economies of scale is to include breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules. Based on their review, the Board concluded that the current advisory fee schedules and fee arrangements and waivers (as applicable) were appropriate and reflect economies of scale to be shared with shareholders when assets under management increase.
Counsel to the Independent Trustees confirmed that the Trust’s Independent Trustees had met previously and reviewed the written contract renewal materials provided by the Adviser regarding the Investment Advisory Agreements and Services Agreement. 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 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 representatives of the Adviser provided satisfactory responses thereto.
In considering the renewal of the funds’ Investment Advisory and 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 Board evaluated all information available to them on a fund-by-fund basis, and their determinations were made separately with respect to each fund. The Board reached the following conclusions regarding each fund’s Investment Advisory and Services Agreement, among others: (a) the Adviser demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Investment Advisory and Services Agreement; (b) the Adviser is qualified to manage the fund’s assets in accordance with the fund’s investment objective and strategies; (c) the overall investment performance of each fund is satisfactory relative to the performance of funds with similar investment objectives and relevant indices and benchmarks; (d) the fund’s advisory and services fee is reasonable in light of the services received by the fund from the Adviser and other factors considered; and (e) the Adviser’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objectives of each 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. Moreover, the Board determined that renewal of the Services Agreement for the applicable funds with such agreements currently in place was in the best interests of each respective fund and its shareholders.

FUND EXPENSES PAID BY SHAREHOLDERS
As shareholders of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended October 31, 2021. Expenses paid during the period in the tables below are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half fiscal year period).
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values using actual expenses and actual returns for the funds. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table for the fund you own under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

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

Regulation Regarding Derivatives
On October 28, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC“) adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4“). The Fund will be required to implement and comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 22. Once implemented, Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treat derivatives as senior securities and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager.
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 20, 2021, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report for the period of the first quarter of 2020 through the fourth quarter of 2020 (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.
