1The investment adviser to the fund, Madison Asset Management, LLC (“Madison”), has contractually agreed to waive 0.10% of its management fee and 0.05% of its service fee until at least February 28, 2016. The fee waiver agreements 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 these agreements in the next year. Not included in the fee waivers are any fees and expenses relating to portfolio holdings (e.g., brokerage commissions, interest on loans, etc.) or extraordinary and non-recurring fees and expenses (e.g., costs relating to any line of credit the fund maintains with its custodian or another entity for investment purposes). Any fees waived will not be subject to later recoupment by Madison.
Example:
The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem your shares at the end of the period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in total annual fund operating expenses or in the expense examples above, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 29% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing 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 (including borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in dividend paying equity securities. The adviser will identify investment opportunities by screening for companies that generally have the following characteristics: (i) a dividend yield of at least 100% of the market dividend yield (for this purpose, the “market” is the S&P 500); (ii) a strong balance sheet; (iii) a dividend that has been maintained and which is likely to increase; (iv) trade on the high side of the company’s historical relative dividend yield, due to issues which the adviser views as temporary; and (v) other compelling valuation characteristics. Under normal market conditions, the fund expects to be fully invested in equity securities, but will maintain the flexibility to hold up to 20% of the fund’s assets in investment grade fixed income securities when warranted in the discretion of the adviser. Additionally, the adviser may write (sell) covered call options against equity holdings, not to exceed 25% of the fund’s equity holdings. The fund may also invest up to 25% of its

common stock allocation in foreign securities (including American Depository Receipts and emerging market securities). To the extent invested in common stocks, the fund generally invests in 30-60 companies at any given time. This reflects the adviser’s belief that your money should be invested in the adviser’s top investment ideas, and that focusing on the adviser’s best investment ideas is the best way to achieve the fund’s investment objectives.
Madison follows a rigorous three-step process when evaluating companies pursuant to which Madison considers (1) the business model, (2) the management team, and (3) the valuation of each potential investment. When evaluating the business model, Madison looks for sustainable competitive advantages, metrics that demonstrate relatively high levels of profitability, stable and growing earnings, and a solid balance sheet. When assessing management, Madison evaluates its operational and capital allocation track records and the nature of its accounting practices. The final step in the process is assessing the proper valuation for the company. Madison strives to purchase securities trading at a discount to their intrinsic value as determined by discounted cash flows modeling and additional valuation methodologies. Often, Madison finds companies that clear the business model and management team hurdles, but not the valuation hurdle. Those companies are monitored for inclusion at a later date when the price may be more appropriate. Madison seeks to avoid the downside risks associated with overpriced securities. Instead, Madison will invest in the stocks of issuers that Madison believes have a blend of both value and growth potential: what Madison calls “GARP” for “growth at a reasonable price.”
Madison may sell stocks for a number of reasons, including: (i) the price target Madison has set for stock has been achieved, (ii) the fundamental business prospects for the company have materially changed, or (iii) Madison finds a more attractive alternative. In addition, with regard to dividend paying stocks in particular, Madison may sell a stock that has reduced its dividend to a level that brings the yield on the stock to below the market (S&P 500) dividend yield, but only if the reduction in dividend appears to Madison to be a symptom of fundamental difficulties with the company that are other than temporary in nature.
The fund’s investment strategy reflects Madison’s general “Participate and Protect®” investment philosophy. Madison’s expectation is that investors in the fund will participate in market appreciation during bull markets and experience something less than full participation during bear markets compared with investors in portfolios holding more speculative and volatile securities; therefore, this investment philosophy is intended to represent a conservative investment strategy. There is no assurance that Madison’s expectations regarding this investment strategy will be realized.
Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market instruments. To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished.
Principal Risks
The specific risks of owning the fund are set forth below.  You could lose money as a result of investing in the fund. An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, entity or person.  The fund’s share price and total return will fluctuate.  You should consider your own investment goals, time horizon and risk tolerance before investing in the fund. 
Market Risk. The share price of the fund reflects the value of the securities it holds. If a security’s price falls, the share price of the fund will go down (unless another security’s price rises by an offsetting amount). If the fund’s share price falls below the price you paid for your shares, you could lose money when you redeem your shares.
Equity Risk. The fund is subject to equity risk. Equity risk is the risk that securities held by the fund will fluctuate in value due to general market or economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the fund participate, and the particular circumstances and performance of particular companies whose securities the fund holds. In addition, while broad market measures of common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed income securities, common stocks have also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns.
Capital Gain Realization Risks to Taxpaying Shareholders. Because of the focused nature of the fund’s portfolio, the fund is susceptible to capital gain realization. In other words, when the fund is successful in achieving its investment objective, portfolio turnover may generate more capital gains per share than funds that hold greater numbers of individual securities. The fund’s sale of just a few positions will represent a larger percentage of the fund’s assets compared with, say, a fund that has hundreds of securities positions.
Growth and Value Risks. Stocks with growth characteristics can experience sharp price declines as a result of earnings disappointments, even small ones. Stocks with value characteristics carry the risk that investors will not recognize their intrinsic value for a long time or that they are actually appropriately priced at a low level. Because the fund generally follows a strategy of holding stocks with both growth and value characteristics, any particular stock’s share price may be negatively affected by either set of risks.
Special Risks Associated with Dividend Paying Stocks.  Raising interest rates have the potential to hurt the value and/or price of higher dividend yielding stocks more so than the overall market.  In addition, higher dividend yielding stocks may go through periods of underperformance as a group versus the broader market.
Foreign Security and Emerging Market Risk. Investments in foreign securities involve risks relating to currency fluctuations and to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks may be greater in emerging markets. The investment markets of emerging countries are generally more volatile than markets of developed countries with more mature economies.

Option Risk. There are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities, as follows:
There are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives.
As the writer of a covered call option, the fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market 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.
The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it may not be able to effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must then deliver the underlying security at the exercise price.
There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the fund seeks to close out an option position. If the fund is unable to close out a covered call option that it wrote on a security, it would not be able to sell the underlying security unless the option expired without exercise.
Interest Rate Risk. To the extent the fund invests in fixed income securities (i.e., bonds), the fund will 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 market 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 this risk.
