Madison Funds | April 30, 2020

 

Period in Review (unaudited)

 

It is impossible to review the past six months without starting with the shock and continued disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first three months of this period, November through January, have already developed an aura of the distant past, with schools in session, public gatherings proceeding in unremarkable succession and people shaking hands. As we conclude this semi-annual period at the end of April, the world seems quite a different place.

 

While we all struggle to make personal adjustments to the new reality, the market too has struggled to make sense of it all. Through much of the latter half of this period we witnessed intense volatility as investors were buffeted by news in turn demoralizing and promising. We began the period in the midst of the longest bull market in history and hit an all-time high for the S&P 500® Index on February 19, 2020, with a steady 7.8% advance in the Index since the start of the period at the beginning of November. This was followed by a precipitous drop that will not soon be forgotten. By March 23 the Index had lost -33.9% of its value from that February high. In terms of duration and size, this was the sharpest drop in Index history.

 

On February 19, 2020, at the market’s peak, reports reached the west that cases of a new virus had spiked in central China. The virus news continued to worsen and on March 6th the oil markets were disrupted by a conflict between the OPEC nations and Russia. This sent an already troubled market into freefall. The bond market was also roiled as a flight to safety sent U.S. Treasury yields to new all-time lows while corporate bonds suffered intense selling pressure. As the fear of a U.S. pandemic turned into reality and the country began to shelter to “flatten the curve” of cases, the economic damage was sharp and unprecedented, with no end in sight.

 

But the final weeks of the period showed a surprising turn of market direction in the face of these considerable economic woes. By the end of April we saw a surprising 32% S&P 500® Index rally from its March 23 intraday low, with an April return of a robust 12.8%. This was the best monthly return since 1987. With the economy reeling and unemployment setting new records, the market was still down year-to-date, but just -9.3%, a far cry from the -30% loss we were looking at in late March. Disruptions in the bond market had also settled, but by April 30 investors looking towards the safety of Treasury Bonds were getting paid a mere 0.6% on the 10-year Treasury. With even the top scientific experts unable to reliably predict the path of the virus and the parallel inability of economists to chart the likely economic future, and knowing that the stock market hates uncertainty, why the rally?

 

Perhaps the best answer came from Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari who told his 60 Minutes interviewer on March 22nd, “There is an infinite amount of cash at the Federal Reserve.” This suggestion that there was no limit to the Fed’s potential monetary stimulus, along with the federal government’s massive $2 trillion spending bill which indicated a similar position on fiscal stimulus may have been the reason for the market’s rally. The comfort of substantial and promissory stimulus was enough to balance, at least for the moment, the anxiety over the viral and economic unknowns. At the Fed’s latest meeting on April 29th, the Fed’s policy was reaffirmed by Chairman Powell, as he pledged to do everything within the Fed’s powers to set the stage for recovery, even as the first quarter’s GDP was announced as slowing by -4.8%. The prospects for the second quarter were considerably worse. The consensus, which we subscribe to, is that this government commitment has put at least a temporary bottom in the stock market.

 

It’s not only the virus which is novel -- investors haven’t witnessed anything like this either. These unique circumstances have led us to a renewed review of the market action and the holdings in Madison’s portfolios. The rapidly changing economic landscape has meant a commensurate increase in our analytical load.

 

While the April market rally was of some comfort to investors, the overhanging question for most of us is “when will we be back to normal?” Here we profess no better crystal ball than the multitude of experts who are hardened to the same inquiry. So much remains unknown and so much depends on human behavior. What we do have is faith in the long-term resilience of the U.S. economy and the ability of the world’s mobilized scientific community to find a solution to COVID-19. The April market rally was augmented by late-month news of advances in both COVID-19 treatment and prevention, the first steps toward this resolution. While the extended sheltering might try our patience, we expect to be able to look back at this time as another of the incredibly trying, difficult periods our country has survived, including world wars, the flu pandemic of 1918, the Great Depression and the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009.

ALLOCATION FUNDS SUMMARY

 

 

The Madison Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation and Aggressive Allocation Funds invest primarily in shares of registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The funds are diversified among a number of asset classes and their allocation among Underlying Funds are based on an asset allocation model developed by Madison Asset Management, LLC (“Madison”), the funds’ investment adviser. The team may use multiple analytical approaches to determine the appropriate asset allocation, including:

 

Asset allocation optimization analysis – considers the degree to which returns in different asset classes do or do not move together, and the funds’ aim to achieve a favorable overall risk profile for any targeted portfolio return.

Scenario analysis– historical and expected return data is analyzed to model how individual asset classes and combinations of asset classes would affect the funds under different economic and market conditions.

Fundamental analysis – draws upon Madison’s investment teams to judge each asset class against current and forecasted market conditions. Economic, industry and security analysis is used to develop return and risk expectations that may influence asset class selection. In addition, Madison has a flexible mandate which permits the funds, at the sole discretion of Madison, to materially reduce equity risk exposures when and if conditions are deemed to warrant such an action.

MADISON 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.

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison High Quality Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 3.33% for the period, trailing the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government Credit A+ Bond Index, which advanced 4.73%. The Morningstar Short-Term Bond peer group lost -0.14% for the period.

MADISON CORE BOND FUND

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

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.

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison Core Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 4.31% for the period, trailing the fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index®, which advanced 4.86%.

MADISON CORPORATE BOND FUND

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

 

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

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison Corporate Bond Fund (Class Y) gained 1.57% for the period, trailing its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index, which gained 2.00%. The fund outperformed its peer group, the Morningstar Corporate Bond category, which averaged a 0.61% gain.

MADISON HIGH INCOME FUND

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

 

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

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison High Income Fund (class A at NAV) returned -8.55% during the period, trailing the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Constrained Index’s -7.69% return. The fund lagged its Morningstar High Yield Bond category peer group, which returned -7.80%.

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.

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison Diversified Income Fund (Class A at NAV) returned -4.93% for the period, underperforming its blended index (50% ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate, Government and Mortgage Index and 50% S&P 500®) which returned 1.33%. The fund’s comparative Morningstar peer group, the U.S. Funds Allocation 50%-70% Equity category, averaged a -4.79% return for the period.

MADISON COVERED CALL & EQUITY INCOME FUND

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in common stocks of large-and mid-capitalization companies that are, in the view of the fund’s investment adviser, selling at a reasonable price in relation to their long-term earnings growth rates. The portfolio managers will allocate the fund’s assets among stocks in sectors of the economy based upon their views on forward earnings growth rates, adjusted to reflect their views on economic and market conditions and sector risk factors.

 

The fund will seek to generate current earnings from option premiums by writing (selling) covered call options on a substantial portion of its portfolio securities. The extent of option writing activity will depend upon market conditions and the portfolio manager’s ongoing assessment of the attractiveness of writing call options on the fund’s stock holdings. In addition to providing income, covered call writing helps to reduce the volatility (and risk profile) of the fund by providing downside protection.

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund (Class Y) returned -3.90% for the period, outperforming its covered call benchmark, the CBOE S&P 500 Buy/Write® Index (BXM), which returned -16.81%. The fund outperformed the Morningstar Option-Based category’s return of -5.00%.

MADISON DIVIDEND INCOME FUND

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

 

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

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison Dividend Income Fund (Class Y) returned -9.32% for the period, underperforming the first of its benchmark indices, the S&P 500® Index, which declined -3.16%, while outperforming its second benchmark, the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index®, which dropped -10.59%.

MADISON LARGE CAP VALUE FUND

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Madison Large Cap Value Fund will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its net assets in large cap stocks. The fund follows a “value” approach, meaning the portfolio managers seek to invest in stocks at prices below their perceived intrinsic value as estimated based on fundamental analysis of the issuing company and its prospects. By investing in value stocks, the fund attempts to limit the downside risk over time but may also produce smaller gains than other stock funds if their intrinsic values are not realized by the market or if growth-oriented investments are favored by investors. The fund will diversify its holdings among various industries and among companies within those industries. The fund typically sells a stock when the fundamental expectations for buying it no longer apply, the price exceeds its intrinsic value or other stocks appear more attractively priced relative to their intrinsic values. The fund generally holds 25-60 individual securities in its portfolio at any given time.

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison Large Cap Value Fund (Class Y) returned -13.82% for the period, slightly below its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value® Index, which fell -13.66%. The fund fractionally underperformed its Morningstar peer group, Large Cap Value category, which showed a -13.76% return.

MADISON INVESTORS FUND

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

 

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

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison Investors Fund (Class Y) returned -8.22% for the period, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, which declined -3.16%. This performance trailed its peer group, as the Morningstar Large Blend category returned -5.86%.

MADISON SMALL CAP FUND

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Madison Small Cap Fund invests primarily in a diversified mix of common stocks of small-cap U.S. companies that are believed to be undervalued by various measures and offer sound prospects for capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will maintain at least 80% of its net assets in small-cap securities.

 

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

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison Small Cap Fund (Class Y) returned -14.30% for the period, outperforming the Russell 2000® Index’s -15.47% and the Russell 2000® Value Index’s -23.44 return. The fund also outpaced its peer group average, as the Morningstar Small Blend category returned -18.75%.

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

MADISON FUNDS | April 30, 2020

 
 Madison Tax-Free National Fund Portfolio of Investments (unaudited) - continued

 

* This bond is covered by insurance issued by Ambac Assurance Corporation (“AMBAC”). On November 8, 2010, Ambac Financial Group, Inc., the holding company of AMBAC, announced that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Although AMBAC’s claim paying ability appears strong at this point, its ultimate ability to guarantee timely payment of principal and interest on these bonds, should they default, will be dependent on the timing and magnitude of losses within the entity’s overall portfolio.
** Aggregate cost for Federal tax purposes was $21,256,766.

Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Madison Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. As of the date of this report, the Trust offers eighteen funds (individually, a “fund,” collectively, the “funds”).

 

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust without par value. The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Madison Asset Management, LLC (the “Investment Adviser” or “Madison”). The Investment Adviser, in turn, has entered into a subadvisory agreement for the management of the investments of the International Stock Fund (“Subadviser”).

 

The accompanying financial statements include the Government Money Market, Tax-Free Virginia, Tax-Free National, High Quality Bond, Core Bond, Corporate Bond, High Income, Diversified Income, Covered Call & Equity Income, Dividend Income, Large Cap Value, Investors, Mid Cap, Small Cap and International Stock Funds (collectively, the “Core Funds”), and the Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation, and Aggressive Allocation Funds (collectively, the “Allocation Funds”).

 

The Government Money Market Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A and B. The Small Cap Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A and Y. The High Income, Large Cap Value, and International Stock Funds offer three classes of shares: Class A, B and Y. The Diversified Income Fund and Allocation Funds offer three classes of shares: Class A, B and C. The Investors Fund offers three classes of shares: Class A, Y and R6. The Core Bond Fund and Mid Cap Fund offer four classes of shares: Class A, B, Y and R6. The Covered Call & Equity Income Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A, C, Y and R6. The Tax-Free Virginia, Tax-Free National, High Quality Bond, Corporate Bond and Dividend Income Funds offer one class of shares: Class Y. Each class of shares represents an interest in the assets of the respective fund and has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except that each class of shares bears its own distribution fees and servicing fees, if any, and its proportional share of fund level expenses, is subject to its own sales charges, if any, and has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act as it relates to that class and other class-specific matters.

 

As of February 1, 2017, Class B shares of the funds may not be purchased or acquired, except by exchange from Class B shares of another Madison Fund, or through dividend and/or capital gains reinvestments. Shareholders with investments in Class B shares of the funds may continue to hold such shares until they convert to Class A shares.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Each fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services–Investment Companies”.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

Portfolio Valuation: Equity securities, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depository Receipts (“GDRs”) and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) listed on any U.S. or foreign stock exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the last quoted sale price or official closing price on that exchange or NASDAQ on the valuation day (provided that, for securities traded on NASDAQ, the funds utilize the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If no sale occurs, equities traded on a U.S. exchange, foreign exchange or on NASDAQ are valued at the bid price. Debt securities purchased (other than short-term obligations) with a remaining maturity of 61 days or more are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services approved by the Trust. In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments, quotations from dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in comparable investments, various relationships observed in the market between investments and calculated yield measurements based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments.

 

Municipal debt securities are traded via a network of dealers and brokers that connect buyers and sellers. They are valued on the basis of last available bid prices or current market quotations provided by dealers or pricing services approved by the Trust. There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular bonds and other debt securities, making them more difficult to value or sell. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued by independent pricing services using models that consider estimated cash flows of each tranche of the security, establish a benchmark yield and develop an estimated tranche specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche.

 

Investments in shares of open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their daily net asset value (“NAV”) which is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, on each day on which the NYSE is open for business. NAV per share is determined by dividing each fund’s total net assets by the number of shares of such fund outstanding at the time of calculation. Because the assets of each Allocation Fund consist primarily of shares of other registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”), the NAV of each fund is determined based on the NAVs of the Underlying Funds. Total net assets are determined by adding the total current value of portfolio securities, cash, receivables, and other assets and subtracting liabilities.

 

Short-term instruments having maturities of 60 days or less and all securities in the Government Money Market Fund are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value.

 

Over-the-counter securities not listed or traded on NASDAQ are valued at the last sale price on the valuation day. If no sale occurs on the valuation day, an over-the-counter security is valued at the last bid price. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mean of the best bid and ask prices across all option exchanges. Over-the-counter options are valued based upon prices provided by market makers in such securities or dealers in such currencies. Financial futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price established by the exchange(s) on which the contracts are primarily traded. Spot and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued based on quotations supplied by dealers in such contracts. Overnight repurchase agreements are valued at cost, and term repurchase agreements (i.e., those whose maturity exceeds seven days), swaps, caps, collars and floors, if any, are valued at the average of the closing bids obtained daily from at least one dealer.

 

Through the end of this reporting period, the value of all assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies was converted into U.S. dollar values using the then-current exchange rate at the close of regular trading on the NYSE.

 

All other securities for which either quotations are not readily available, no other sales have occurred, or in the Investment Adviser’s opinion, do not reflect the current fair value, are appraised at their fair values as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee ( the “Committee”) and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. When fair value pricing of securities is employed, the prices of securities used by the funds to calculate NAV may differ from market quotations or NOCP. 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.

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | April 30, 2020

 

A fund’s investments will be valued at fair value if, in the judgment of the Committee, an event impacting the value of an investment occurred between the closing time of a security’s primary market or exchange (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and the time the fund’s share price is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Significant events may include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) significant fluctuations in domestic markets, foreign markets or foreign currencies; (2) occurrences not directly tied to the securities markets such as natural disasters, armed conflicts or significant government actions; and (3) major announcements affecting a single issuer or an entire market or market sector. In responding to a significant event, the Committee would determine the fair value of affected securities considering factors including, but not limited to: fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment; and the forces influencing the market(s) in which the investment is purchased or sold. The Committee may rely on an independent fair valuation service to adjust the valuations of foreign equity securities based on specific market-movement parameters established by the Committee and approved by the Trust.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08 which changes the amortization period for a callable debt security from the maturity date to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. There was not a material impact to the Financial Statements as a result of this adoption, due to the fact the funds did not hold convertible debt for the period ended April 30, 2020.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The amendments in the ASU impact disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. It is anticipated that this change will enhance the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted and can include the entire standard or certain provisions that exclude or amend disclosures. For the period ended April 30, 2020, the funds have chosen to adopt the standard. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the financial statements and other disclosures.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The adoption of the ASU is elective. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements

 

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net realized gains or losses on sales are determined by the identified cost method. Net realized gain on investments in the Statements of Operations also includes realized gain distributions received from the underlying exchange-listed funds. Distributions of net realized gains are recorded on the fund’s ex-distribution date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded after the ex-dividend date based on when the fund is informed of the dividend. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Amortization and accretion are recorded on the effective yield method.

 

Expenses: Expenses that are directly related to one fund are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are prorated to the funds on the basis of relative net assets. Class-specific expenses are borne by that class.

 

Classes: Income and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative net assets.

 

Repurchase Agreements: Each fund may engage in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a security is purchased for a relatively short period (usually not more than seven days) subject to the obligation to sell it back to the issuer at a fixed time and price plus accrued interest. The funds will enter into repurchase agreements only with members of the Federal Reserve System and with “primary dealers” in U.S. Government securities.

 

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. As of April 30, 2020, none of the funds held open repurchase agreements.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Trust’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency-denominated transactions (i.e., fair value of investment securities, assets and liabilities, purchases and sales of investment securities, and income and expenses) are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange. The funds enter into contracts on the trade date to settle any securities transactions denominated in foreign currencies on behalf of the funds at the spot rate at settlement.

 

Each fund, except the Government Money Market, Tax-Free Virginia and Tax-Free National Funds, reports certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains or losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Realized gains or losses associated with currency transactions are included in the Statements of Operations under the heading “Net realized gain (loss) on investments. The Covered Call & Equity Fund had net realized gains of $505, and The International Stock Fund had net realized losses of $2,786 related to foreign currency transactions

 

The funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to change in market prices of securities. Such amounts are categorized as gain or loss on investments for financial reporting purposes.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Each fund, except the Government Money Market Fund, Tax-Free Virginia and Tax-Free National Funds, may purchase and sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts for defensive or hedging purposes. When entering into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, the funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily. The funds’ net assets reflect unrealized gains or losses on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign currency exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date. The funds realize a gain or a loss at the time the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled or closed out with an offsetting contract. Contracts are traded over-the-counter directly with a counterparty. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended April 30, 2020, none of the funds had open forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | April 30, 2020

 

If a fund enters into a forward foreign currency exchange contract to buy foreign currency for any purpose, the fund will be required to place cash or other liquid assets in a segregated account with the fund’s custodian in an amount equal to the value of the fund’s total assets committed to the consummation of the forward contract. If the value of the securities in the segregated account declines, additional cash or securities will be placed in the segregated account so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the fund’s commitment with respect to the contract.

 

Cash Concentration: At times, the funds maintain cash balances at financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The funds monitor this credit risk and have not experienced any losses related to this risk.

 

Illiquid Securities: Each fund currently limits investments in illiquid investments, as defined by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, to 15% of net assets at the time of purchase except for the Government Money Market Fund which is governed by the Rule 2(a)-7 liquidity guidelines. An illiquid investment is generally defined as a security that a fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the security. At April 30, 2020, there were no illiquid securities held in the funds.

 

Delayed Delivery Securities: Each fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. “When-issued” refers to securities whose terms are available and for which a market exists, but that have not been issued. For when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, no payment is made until delivery date, which is typically longer than the normal course of settlement. When a fund enters into an agreement to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the fund segregates cash or other liquid securities, of any type or maturity, equal in value to the fund’s commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the fair value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors. As of April 30, 2020, none of the funds had entered into such transactions.

 

Indemnifications: Under the funds’ organizational documents, the funds’ officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum liability exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as future claims that have not yet occurred may be made against the funds. However, based on experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

Fair Value Measurements: Each fund has adopted FASB guidance on fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that each fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data “inputs” and minimize the use of unobservable “inputs” and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs used in the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable.

 

Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

 

Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rate volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risk, benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, new issues, spreads, and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities, underlying equity of the issuer; and proprietary pricing models such as yield measures calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance, and other reference data, etc.)

 

Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The valuation techniques used by the funds to measure fair value for the period ended April 30, 2020 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The funds estimated the price that would have prevailed in a liquid market for an international equity security given information available at the time of valuation. As of April 30, 2020, none of the funds held securities deemed as a Level 3, and there were no transfers between classification levels.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2020, in valuing the funds’ investments carried at fair value (please see the Portfolio of Investments for each fund for a listing of all securities within each category):

3. ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

 

Advisory Agreement. For its investment advisory services to the funds, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive a fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly, at an annualized percentage rate of the average daily value of the net assets of each fund as follows as of April 30, 2020:

 

Fund  Advisory Fee   Fund  Advisory Fee 
Conservative Allocation   0.20%  High Income   0.55%

Corporate Bond   0.40%  International Stock   1.05%

 

Each of the Government Money Market, Core Bond, High Income, Diversified Income, Large Cap Value, Investors, Mid Cap, Small Cap, and International Stock Funds’ advisory fee will be reduced by 0.05% on assets exceeding $500 million, and by another 0.05% on assets exceeding $1 billion. The Investment Adviser is solely responsible for the payment of all fees to the Subadvisers. The Subadvisers for the funds at April 30, 2020, was Lazard Asset Management LLC for the International Stock Fund.

The Investment Adviser may from time to time contractually or voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds.

During the period ended April 30, 2020, the Investment Adviser contractually agreed to waive administrative services fees for the following funds:

Government Money Market  The daily amount required to avoid a negative daily distribution rate, until at least February 27, 2021  $0 
Dividend Income  0.05%, until at least February 27, 2021   52,544

Shareholder Service and Distribution Plans (Rule 12b-1). The Trust has adopted, on behalf of certain funds and share classes, distribution and/or service plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. These plans permit the applicable share classes to pay for distribution of their shares and servicing of their shareholders out of fund assets; therefore, the cost of these plans is indirectly borne by all shareholders who own shares of the affected funds and share classes. These plans are described below:

 

Shareholder Service Fees (Class A, B and C shares). Service plans have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class A, B and C shares of each of the funds, other than the Government Money Market Fund. Under the terms of these plans, each fund pays MFD Distributor, LLC (“MFD”) a service fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to each class of shares of that fund. The service fee is used by MFD to offset costs of servicing shareholder accounts or to compensate other qualified broker/dealers who sell shares of the funds pursuant to agreements with MFD for their costs of servicing shareholder accounts. MFD may retain any portion of the service fee for which there is no broker/dealer of record as partial consideration for its services with respect to shareholder accounts.

 

Distribution Fees (Class B and C shares only). Distribution plans have been adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under 1940 Act for Class B and C shares of each of the funds. Under the terms of each plan, each fund pays its principal distributor, MFD, a fee equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and C shares of that fund. MFD may use this fee to cover its distribution-related expenses (including commissions paid to broker/dealers for selling Class B and C shares) or distributionrelated 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.

MFD may from time to time voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds. In that regard, MFD agreed to waive a portion of 12b-1 fees on the Government Money Market Fund Class B Shares until at least February 27, 2021 for the purpose of maintaining a one day yield of zero. The amount of the daily waiver is equal to the amount required to maintain a minimum daily distribution rate of zero. For the period ended April 30, 2020, no fees were waived. MFD does not have the right to recoup waived fees.

 

Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Funds. Rather, they are deduced 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 period ended April 30, 2020, were as follows:

 

   Amount Collected   Amount Retained 
Fund  Class A   Class B   Class C   Class A   Class B   Class C 
Conservative Allocation  $42,505   $1,088   $246   $5,471   $1,088   $246 
Moderate Allocation   64,935    3,888    251    7,905    3,888    251

International Stock   6,034    380    N/A    774    380    N/A 

 

Other Expenses: In addition to the fees described above, the funds are responsible for brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of investments, costs of borrowing money, overdrafts and any potential taxes owed and extraordinary expenses as approved by a majority of independent trustees.

 

Officers and Trustees: Certain officers and trustees of the funds are also officers of the Investment Adviser. The funds do not compensate their officers or affiliated trustees. Independent Trustees are compensated. Fees paid to the Trustees reduce the fees paid to the Investment Adviser pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement as described above.

 

4. DIVIDENDS FROM NET INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL GAINS

 

With respect to dividends from net investment income, the Government Money Market Fund declares dividends, if any, daily and reinvests monthly. The Tax-Free Virginia, Tax-Free National, Core Bond, Corporate Bond, High Income and Diversified Income Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, monthly. The Conservative Allocation, High Quality Bond, Dividend Income and Covered Call & Equity Income Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, quarterly. The Moderate Allocation, Aggressive Allocation, Large Cap Value, Investors, Mid Cap, Small Cap and International Stock Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, annually. The funds distribute net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, to shareholders annually.

 

Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Taxable distributions from income and realized capital gains in the funds differ from book amounts earned during the period due to differences in the timing of capital gains recognition, and due to the reclassification of certain gains or losses from capital to income. Dividends from net investment income are determined on a class level. Capital gains are determined on a fund level.

 

5. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

 

For the period ended April 30, 2020, aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term investment, were as follows:

6. COVERED CALL AND PUT OPTIONS

 

An option on a security is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option the security underlying the option at a specified exercise or “strike” price. The writer of an option on a security has an obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security upon payment of the exercise price (in the case of a call) or pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security (in the case of a put).

 

The Covered Call & Equity Income Fund 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.

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | April 30, 2020

 

When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current fair value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. See Note 2 for information on derivatives.

 

7. FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS

 

The Core Bond Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts and purchase and write options on futures contracts on a limited basis. The fund may purchase and sell futures contracts based on various securities (such as U.S. Government securities), securities indices, foreign currencies and other financial instruments and indices. The fund will engage in futures or related options transactions on a limited basis only for bona fide hedging purposes or for purposes of seeking to increase total returns to the extent permitted by regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

 

Futures Contracts. The Core Bond Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between the change in fair value of the securities held by the fund and the prices of futures contracts and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with its futures broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government and Agency Obligations, or other assets, in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are marked to market daily and based on such movements in the price of the contracts, an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value may be posted or collected by the fund (“variation margin”). Gains or losses are recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or close. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed within exchange traded or centrally cleared financial derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. During the period ended April 30, 2020, the fund did not enter into any futures contracts.

 

Options on Futures Contracts. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Core Bond Fund the right (but not the obligation) for a specified price, to sell or to purchase, respectively, the underlying futures contract at any time during the option period. As the purchaser of an option on a futures contract, the fund obtains the benefit of the futures position if prices move in a favorable direction but limits its risk of loss in the event of an unfavorable price movement to the loss of the premium and transaction costs.

 

The writing of a call option on a futures contract generates a premium which may partially offset a decline in the value of the fund’s assets. By writing a call option, the fund becomes obligated, in exchange for the premium, to sell a futures contract which may have a value higher than the exercise price. Conversely, the writing of a put option on a futures contract generates a premium, which may partially offset an increase in the price of securities that the fund intends to purchase. However, the fund becomes obligated to purchase a futures contract, which may have a value lower than the exercise price. Thus, the loss incurred by the fund in writing options on futures is potentially unlimited and may exceed the amount of the premium received.

 

8. FOREIGN SECURITIES

 

Each fund, other than the Tax-Free Funds and the Government Money Market Fund may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities are defined as securities that are: (i) issued by companies organized outside the U.S. or whose principal operations are outside the U.S. or issued by foreign governments or their agencies or instrumentalities (“foreign issuers”); (ii) principally traded outside of the U.S.; and (iii) quoted or denominated in a foreign currency (“non-dollar securities”). Foreign securities include ADRs, European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), GDRs, Swedish Depositary Receipts (“SDRs”) and foreign money market securities.

 

Certain of the funds have reclaims receivable balances, in which the funds are due a reclaim on the taxes that have been paid to some foreign jurisdictions. The values of all reclaims are not significant for any of the funds and are reflected in Other Assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These receivables are reviewed to ensure the current receivable balance is reflective of the amount deemed to be collectible.

 

9. SECURITIES LENDING

 

The Board of Trustees has authorized the Funds, other than the Government Money Market Fund, to engage in securities lending with State Street Bank and Trust Company as securities lending agent pursuant to a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (the “Agreement”) and subject to certain securities lending policies and procedures. Under the terms of the Agreement, and subject to the policies and procedures, the authorized funds may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in order to generate additional income, while managing risk associated with the securities lending program. The Agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times by cash or U.S. government securities, initially equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic securities and 105% of non-domestic securities. The loaned securities and collateral are marked to market daily to maintain collateral at 102% of the total loaned portfolio for each broker/borrower. Amounts earned as interest on investments of cash collateral, net of rebates and fees, if any, are included in the 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 April 30, 2020, the aggregate fair value of securities on loan for the Madison fund family was $12,173,534. Cash collateral received for such loans are reinvested into the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio. Non-cash collateral is invested in U.S. treasuries or government securities. See below for fair value on loan and collateral breakout for each fund and each respective fund’s portfolio of investments for individual securities identified on loan.

10. FEDERAL AND FOREIGN INCOME TAX INFORMATION

 

It is each fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes are recorded in the accompanying statements.

 

The funds have not recorded any liabilities for material unrecognized tax benefits as of April 30, 2020. It is each fund’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income taxes, as appropriate. Tax years that remain open to examination by major tax jurisdictions include tax years ended October 31, 2016 through October 31, 2019.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the funds listed below have capital loss carryovers as of October 31, 2019, which are available to offset future capital gains, if any, realized through the fiscal year listed:

 

    No Expiration Date 
Fund  Short-Term   Long-Term 
Government Money Market  $368   $ 
Tax-Free Virginia   16,251    3,089 
High Quality Bond   20,149    188,298 
Corporate Bond       49,711 
High Income   457,060    1,327,546 

 

At April 30, 2020, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for all securities, as computed on a federal income tax basis for each fund were as follows:

The differences between cost amounts for book purposes and tax purposes are primarily due to the tax deferral of wash sales

 

11. CERTAIN RISKS

 

Investing in certain financial instruments, including forward foreign currency contracts, involves certain risks. Risks associated with these instruments include potential for an illiquid secondary market for the instruments or inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts, changes in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and financial statements’ volatility resulting from an imperfect correlation between the movements in the prices of the instruments and the prices of the underlying securities and interest rates being hedged. The International Stock Fund may enter into these contracts primarily to protect the fund from adverse currency movements.

 

Investing in foreign securities involves certain risks not necessarily found in U.S. markets. These include risks associated with adverse changes in economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, changes in currency exchange rates, exchange control regulations, expropriation of assets or nationalization, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments or capital gains, and possible difficulty in obtaining and enforcing judgments against foreign entities. Further, issuers of foreign securities are subject to different, and often less comprehensive, accounting, reporting and disclosure requirements than domestic issuers.

 

The funds may be subject to interest rate risk which is the risk that the value of your investment will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the fair value of income-bearing securities. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; generally the longer a bond’s maturity, the more sensitive it is to risk. Federal Reserve policy changes may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility and may reduce liquidity for certain fund investments, which could cause the value of a fund’s investments and share price to decline. The Core Bond Fund may invest in derivatives tied to fixed-income markets and may be more substantially exposed to these risks than a fund that does not invest in derivatives.

 

The Government Money Market Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. Additionally, while the fund has maintained a constant share price since inception, and will continue to try to do so, neither the Investment Adviser nor its affiliates are required to make a capital infusion, enter into a capital support agreement or take other actions to prevent the fund’s share price from falling below $1.00.

 

The Tax-Free Funds invest in municipal securities. Municipal securities generally are subject to possible default, bankruptcy or insolvency of the issuer. Principal and interest repayment may be affected by federal, state and local legislation, referendums, judicial decisions and executive acts. The tax-exempt status of municipal securities may be affected by future changes in the tax laws, litigation involving the tax status of the securities and errors and omissions by issuers and their counsel. Madison will not attempt to make an independent determination of the present or future tax-exempt status of municipal securities acquired for the funds. While most municipal securities have a readily available market, a variety of factors, including the scarcity of issues and the fact that tax-free investments are inappropriate for significant numbers of investors, limit the depth of the market for these securities. Accordingly, it may be more difficult for the funds to sell large blocks of municipal securities advantageously than would be the case with comparable taxable securities.

 

The Core Bond Fund may invest in futures contracts or options on futures contracts. Investing in futures contracts and options on futures entail certain other risks such as: unanticipated changes in interest rates, securities prices or currency exchange rates, and may result in a poorer overall performance for the fund than if it had not entered into any futures contracts or options transactions. In the event of an imperfect correlation between a futures position and portfolio position which is intended to be protected, the desired protection may not be obtained and the fund may be exposed to risk of loss. Perfect correlation between the fund’s futures positions and portfolio positions may be difficult to achieve.

 

The High Income Fund invests in securities offering high current income which generally will include bonds in the below investment grade categories of recognized rating agencies (so-called “junk bonds”). These securities generally involve more credit risk than securities in the higher rating categories. In addition, the trading market for high yield securities may be relatively less liquid than the market for higher-rated securities. The fund generally invests at least 80% of its net assets in high yield securities.

 

The Covered Call & Equity Income Fund invests in options on securities. As the writer of a covered call option, the fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the fair value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. A writer of a put option is exposed to the risk of loss if fair value of the underlying securities declines, but profits only to the extent of the premium received if the underlying security increases in value. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security at the exercise price.

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | April 30, 2020

 

The Allocation Funds are fund of funds, meaning that each invests primarily in Underlying Funds, including ETFs. Thus, each fund’s investment performance and its ability to achieve its investment goal are directly related to the performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests; and the Underlying Fund’s performance, in turn, depends on the particular securities in which that Underlying Fund invests and the expenses of that fund. Accordingly, the Allocation Funds are subject to the risks of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the allocation of their respective assets among the Underlying Funds.

 

Additionally, the Allocation Funds are subject to asset allocation risk and manager risk. Manager risk (i.e., fund selection risk) is the risk that the Underlying Fund(s) selected to fulfill a particular asset class underperforms their peers. Asset allocation risk is the risk that the allocation of the fund’s assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective.

 

The funds are also subject to cybersecurity risk, which include the risks associated with computer systems, networks and devices to carry out routine business operations. These systems, networks and devices employ a variety of protections that are designed to prevent cyberattacks. Despite the various cyber protections utilized by the funds, the Investment Adviser, and other service providers, their systems, networks, or devices could potentially be breached. The funds, their shareholders, and the Investment Adviser could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach. The funds cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the funds. The funds do monitor this risk closely.

 

In addition to the other risks described above and, in the Prospectus, you should understand what we refer to as “unknown market risks”. While investments in securities have been keystones in wealth building and management, at times these investments have produced surprises. Those who enjoyed growth and income of their investments generally were rewarded for the risks they took by investing in the markets. Although the Investment Adviser seeks to appropriately address and manage the risks identified and disclosed to you in connection with the management of the securities in the funds, you should understand that the very nature of the securities markets includes the possibility that there may be additional risks of which we are not aware. We certainly seek to identify all applicable risks and then appropriately address them, take appropriate action to reasonably manage them and to make you aware of them so you can determine if they exceed your risk tolerance. Nevertheless, the often volatile nature of the securities markets and the global economy in which we work suggests that the risk of the unknown is something to consider in connection with an investment in securities. Unforeseen events could under certain circumstances produce a material loss of the value of some or all of the securities we manage for you in the funds.

 

12. CAPITAL SHARES AND AFFILIATED OWNERSHIP

 

The Allocation Funds invest in Underlying Funds, certain of which may be deemed to be under common control because of the same or affiliated investment adviser and membership in a common family of investment companies (the “Affiliated Issuers”).

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the funds through the date the financial statements were available for issue. On May 21, 2020, the Board of Trustees voted to merge the High Income fund into the Core Bond fund and the Large Cap Value fund into the Dividend Income fund. Both mergers are subject to shareholder approval and are expected to be completed on or around September 14, 2020. The Trustees also voted to liquidate the Corporate Bond fund on or around July 30, 2020 and the Government Money Market fund on or around October 29, 2020. Certain fee reductions were also approved for the Dividend Income fund, Investors fund and Midcap fund and the launch of Class A shares for the Dividend Income fund all effective June 1, 2020. Class R6 shares of the Core Bond Fund were terminated after market close on May 28, 2020. No other events have taken place that meet the definition of subsequent event that require adjustment to, or disclosure in the financial statements.

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 April 30, 2020. Expenses paid during the period in the tables below are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half fiscal year period).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values using actual expenses and actual returns for the funds. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table for the fund you own under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

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

*The annual expense ratio does not include the expenses of the underlying funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. The information provided in the hypothetical example table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE

 

One of our most important responsibilities as investment company managers is to communicate with shareholders in an open and direct manner.

You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as estimate, may, will, expect, believe, plan and other similar terms. We cannot promise future returns. Our opinions are a reflection of our best judgment at the time this report is compiled, and we disclaim any obligation to update or alter forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
