Period in Review (unaudited)

 

The past six months were a stark contrast to the extraordinarily easy market environment of the past several years. Inflation rose to a level not seen in over 40 years and the Federal Reserve was shown to be behind the curve in terms of monetary policy. Markets began pricing in an aggressive interest rate hike campaign to combat inflation and asset prices responded quite negatively. Over the period, domestic stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, declined by -9.7%, while the broad international MSCI ACWI ex-USA stock index fell -11.9%. The shocker occurred in the fixed income markets where the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index dropped -9.5%, as the yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury Note increased by 1.3% from 1.6% to 2.9%.

 

Equity market dynamics also changed a great deal from the recent past. Over the past decade plus, the US stock market had been more or less captured by the very large growth stocks of the Technology, Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors, to the extent that the Russell 1000 Growth Index outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index by an annualized 6.6% over the 10 years prior to the reporting period. With inflation raging and interest rates moving rapidly higher, the growthiest stocks were hit hard, as growth stocks are longer duration assets and more sensitive to higher interest rates. Instead, investors favored inflation beneficiaries in the commodity producing Energy and Materials sectors, both of which had positive returns helping the Value Index to a more muted -3.9% return versus the much larger -17.8% decline for the Growth Index.

 

It had become clear early in the period that the Federal Reserve’s belief that inflation would be “transitory” was in great peril. Inflation readings kept creeping higher and higher to the point that the Fed officially retired the term “transitory” in late November and then made a large upward revision to their rate hike projections at the December meeting. From that time, markets have become laser focused on every datapoint’s read on inflation and where it is heading. Strong inflation would likely necessitate a stronger response by the Fed, further stressing markets. Complicating matters were the soaring energy costs brought on in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the reimposition of draconian covid lockdowns in China, restressing what had been, up until then, easing supply chain concerns.

 

Equity markets staged a strong rally over the back half of March, only to be disrupted by a large increase in the ISM Manufacturing Price Index in early April, reigniting inflation fears. It was at this point that investors began worrying about the possibility of recession. The fear arose from the knowledge that the Fed can do little, if anything, to address supply-side driven inflation. Their remedy comes from cooling demand, and if the Fed cools demand too much with their attempts to slow the economy a recession could be triggered.

 

Moving forward we expect markets to remain volatile until it is clear that inflation is abating. As mentioned at the start of the review, markets have priced in a very aggressive interest rate path, signs of receding inflation and/or slower economic growth could provide relief by lowering the Fed’s trajectory. Both stocks and bonds would likely welcome such a development.

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.

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”).

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 -5.80% for the period, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Government Credit A+ Bond Index, which returned -6.06%. The Morningstar Short-Term Bond peer group returned -4.15% 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 -9.14% for the period, outperforming the Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index®, which returned -9.47%.

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 -3.53% for the period, outperforming its blended index (50% ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate, Government and Mortgage Index and 50% S&P 500®) which returned -9.47%. The Fund’s comparative Morningstar peer group, the U.S. Funds Allocation 50%-70% Equity category, averaged a -8.82% 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.

Madison Funds | Review of Period (unaudited) - continued | April 30, 2022

 

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.

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund (Class Y) returned 1.00% for the period, outperforming its covered call benchmark, the CBOE S&P 500 Buy/Write® Index (BXM), which returned -1.81%. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar Derivative Income category’s return of -4.51%.

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 -7.95% for the period, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, which returned -9.65%. This performance outpaced its peer group, as the Morningstar Large Blend category returned -9.91%.

Sustainable Equity Fund

 

 

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Madison Sustainable Equity Fund invests primarily in common stocks of high-quality, large cap companies that Madison believes incorporate sustainability into their overall strategy. Under normal conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in stocks that meet Madison’s fundamental and sustainability criteria. The Fund generally invests in 35-50 companies at any given time. The Fund’s portfolio managers define “high-quality” companies as those businesses that exhibit durable growth, operate in large growing markets, and have strong competitive advantages with high barriers to entry. Stocks that meet these criteria are selected by using an integrated research process that combines bottom-up fundamental analysis and sustainable research. The research process analyzes a company’s sustainable practices using quantitative and qualitative analysis and engagement with the company.

 

Madison follows a rigorous multi-step process when evaluating companies for the Fund, where Madison considers (1) the business model and overall strategy, (2) the company’s sustainable business practices starting with corporate governance, (3) the Board of Directors and the management team, and (4) the risk-reward of each potential investment. Madison seeks to purchase securities trading at a discount to their intrinsic value as determined by applying relative multiples to projected earnings, discounted cash flows, and additional valuation methodologies. Often Madison finds companies that meet our business model and sustainability criteria but not our valuation hurdle. Those companies are monitored for inclusion later when the price may be more appropriate.

 

Madison considers a number of sustainability metrics when reviewing a company for the portfolio, which may include, carbon footprint; waste management; water usage; diversity, equity, and inclusion; product safety; data management; board composition; ethical standards; and regulatory issues. Madison may sell stocks for several reasons, including: (i) excessive valuation, (ii) the fundamental business prospects for the company have materially changed, (iii) the company no longer meets our sustainability criteria or inconsistent or negative changes in sustainability practices or (iv) Madison finds a more attractive alternative.

 

The Madison Sustainable Equity Fund (Class Y) returned -13.90% for the four month period ending April, 30 2022. The Fund underperformed the benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, which returned -12.92%. The performance trailed its peer group, the Morningstar Large Blend Category, which returned -12.74%.

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 -15.21% for the period, outperforming the Russell 2000® Index’s return of -18.38% and underperforming the Russell 2500TM Index’s return of -14.73%. The Fund lagged its peer group average, as the Morningstar Small Blend category return of -12.68%.

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.

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

 

The Madison International Stock Fund (Class A at NAV) returned -16.21% for the period, lagging its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index’s (net) -11.87% return.

As of the date of this report, the Trust offers the following funds (individually, a “fund,” collectively, the “funds”), with the share classes listed:

 

Fund   Share Class(es) Offered1

Moderate Allocation2   Class A, Class B, Class C
Aggressive Allocation2   Class A, Class B, Class C
Tax-Free Virginia   Class Y
Tax-Free National   Class Y
High Quality Bond3   Class Y, Class I
Core Bond4   Class A, Class B, Class Y, Class I, Class R6
Diversified Income   Class A, Class B, Class C

1 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 The Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation and Aggressive Allocation Funds are collectively referred to herein as the "Allocation Funds".

3 The High Quality Bond, and Covered Call & Equity Income Funds launched Class I shares on February 28, 2022, and the share Class commenced operations effective March 1, 2022.

4 The Core Bond, Dividend Income and Small Cap Funds launched Class R6 shares on February 28, 2022, and the share Class commenced operations effective March 1, 2022.

5 The Sustainable Equity Fund was launched on December 31, 2021 with Class Y and Class I which commenced operations effective January 3, 2022.

 

Each Class of shares represents an interest in the assets of the respective fund and has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except that each Class of shares bears its own distribution fees and servicing fees, if any, and its proportional share of fund level expenses; is subject to its own sales charge, if any; and has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act as it relates to that Class or other Class-specific matters.

 

The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust without par value. The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Madison Asset Management, LLC (the “Investment Adviser” or “Madison”).

 

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

 

  59 

 

 

Madison Funds | April 30, 2022

 

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued

 

  

consist primarily of shares of other registered investment companies (the "Underlying Funds"), the NAV of each fund is determined based on the NAVs of the Underlying Funds. Total net assets are determined by adding the total current value of portfolio securities, cash, receivables, and other assets and subtracting liabilities. Short-term instruments having maturities of 60 days or less are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value.

 

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

 

On December 3, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted new rule 2a-5 (Valuation Rule) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, establishing an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation. The Valuation Rule, in part, provides a framework for good faith fair value determination and permits a Board to designate fair value determinations to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Valuation Rule became effective on March 8, 2021, with a compliance date of September 8, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the Valuation Rule and its effect on the Funds.

 

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 April 30, 2022, none of the funds held open repurchase agreements.

 

The Trust has established a procedure providing that the securities serving as collateral for each repurchase agreement must be delivered to the funds' custodian either physically or in book-entry form and that the collateral must be marked to market daily to ensure that each repurchase agreement is fully collateralized at all times. In the event of bankruptcy or other default by a seller of a repurchase agreement, a fund could experience one of the following: delays in liquidating the underlying securities during

the period in which the fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, possible decreased levels of income, declines in value of the underlying securities, or lack of access to income during this period and the expense of enforcing its rights.

 

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

 

Each fund, except the 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 International Stock Fund had net realized Loss of $(688) 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 period ended April 30, 2022, 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 April 30, 2022, 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, 2022, 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.)

 

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, 2022 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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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 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 period ended April 30, 2022, the Investment Adviser did not waive Administrative Services fees for any of the funds.

 

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:

 

                       Total Shareholder Servicing 
                       and Distribution Fees

MFD may from time to time voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds. For the year April 30, 2022, 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, 2021, were as follows:

 

   Amount Collected   Amount Retained

Other Expenses: The funds are responsible for paying: (i) transaction-related expenses including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions paid in connection with fund transactions, interest or fees in connection with fund indebtedness or taxes paid in connection with portfolio securities held, (ii) Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees, if any (iii) acquired fund fees, if any, (iv) any extraordinary or nonrecurring expenses (such as fees and expenses relating to any temporary line of credit the funds maintain for emergency or extraordinary purposes), and (v) Independent Trustee compensation, including Lead Independent Trustee compensation.

 

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, Sustainable Equity, 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

 

For the period ended April 30, 2022, aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term investment, were as follows:

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).

 

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 period ended April 30, 2022, 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 period ended April 30, 2022, the Funds did not enter into any options on fututres 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 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, 2022, the aggregate fair value of securities on loan for the Madison fund family was $47,170,808. 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.

The payable will be allocated into categories of securities based on the market value of the securities on loan.

 

12. FEDERAL AND FOREIGN INCOME TAX INFORMATION

 

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

 

The funds have not recorded any liabilities for material unrecognized tax benefits as of April 30, 2022. 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.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the funds listed below have capital loss carryovers as of October 31, 2021, which are available to offset future capital gains, if any, realized through the fiscal year listed:

 

   No Expiration Date 
Fund  Short-Term   Long-Term 
Core Bond  $348,969   $1,644,468 
Dividend Income   1,577,945     

 

For Core Bond Fund and Dividend Income Fund, the inherited losses from mergers are subject to an annual limitation.

International Stock   871,360    (3,279,205)   (2,407,845)

 

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

 

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.

 

Slowing global economic growth, the risks associated with ongoing trade negotiations with China, the possibility of changes to some international trade agreements, tensions or open conflict between nations, such as between Russia and Ukraine, or political or economic dysfunction within some nations that are major producers of oil could affect the economies of many nations, including the United States, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Allocation Funds are fund of funds, meaning that each invests primarily in Underlying Funds, including ETFs. Thus, each fund's investment performance and its ability to achieve its investment goal are directly related to the performance of the Underlying Funds in which it invests; and the Underlying Fund's performance, in turn, depends

on the particular securities in which that Underlying Fund invests and the expenses of that fund. Accordingly, the Allocation Funds are subject to the risks of the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the allocation of their respective assets among the Underlying Funds.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

14. CAPITAL SHARES AND AFFILIATED OWNERSHIP

 

The Allocation Funds invest in Underlying Funds, certain of which may be deemed to be under common control because of the same or affiliated investment adviser and membership in a common family of investment companies (the "Affiliated Issuers"). A summary of the transactions with each Affiliated Underlying Fund during the period ended April 30, 2022 follows:

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, 2022. 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 181/365 (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.

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. Some of our comments in the "Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance" are based on current management expectations and are considered “forward-looking statements.” Actual future results, however, may prove to be different from our expectations. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as estimate, may, will, expect, believe, plan and other similar terms. We cannot promise future returns. Our opinions are a reflection of our best judgment at the time this report is compiled, and we disclaim any obligation to update or alter forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
