Ultra Series Fund  |  June 30, 2015

Economic Overview and Market Outlook
 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the S&P 500® Index tallied a 1.23% gain even with the late June downturn fueled by the uncertainty in Greece as it tried to negotiate a solution to its debt woes. Despite this, foreign markets, which had been struggling in 2014, saw an upswing of 5.52% according to the broad international index, MSCI EAFE (net). Bond investors experienced increased volatility during the second quarter as interest rates trended higher and world events played out. Yields rose as Federal Reserve remarks (supported by positive U.S. economic developments) reaffirmed their intention to raise short-term rates in the not so distant future. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index fell 0.10% during the period.

Looking forward, we believe market volatility will increase as we edge closer to the start of a rising interest rate cycle. Elevated asset levels remain a concern, especially as earnings growth estimates are now falling to near-zero, driven in part by the strong U.S. dollar (resulting in fewer exports), slower global growth and weaker results in the Energy sector. While growth appears to be materializing in Europe, issues around the solidarity of the euro along with increasing friction with Russia may prolong the weakness.

As we navigate these shifting economic conditions we believe in a long-term investment approach. The common thread throughout the Ultra Series Funds is high-conviction, high active-share fund management. Our goal is to provide superior long-term returns while striving to manage risk and capital loss.

Review of Period (unaudited)
 

ALLOCATION FUNDS SUMMARY

The Ultra Series Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation and Aggressive Allocation Funds (the “Funds”) invest primarily in shares of registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Funds will be diversified among a number of asset classes and their allocation among Underlying Funds will be 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.

CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

Under normal circumstances, the Ultra Series Conservative Allocation Fund’s total net assets will be allocated among various asset classes and Underlying Funds, including those whose shares trade on a stock exchange (exchange traded funds or “ETFs”), with target allocations over time of approximately 35% equity investments and 65% fixed income investments. Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests may include funds advised by Madison and/or its affiliates, including other Madison Funds (the “Affiliated Underlying Funds”). Generally, Madison will not invest more than 75% of the Fund’s net assets, at the time of purchase, in Affiliated Underlying Funds. Although actual allocations may vary, the Fund’s asset allocation among asset classes and Underlying Funds is expected to be approximately:

  0-20% money market funds;    
  20-80% debt securities (e.g., bond funds and convertible bond funds);    

 
2    

Ultra Series Fund | Review of Period (unaudited) - continued  |  June 30, 2015

  0-20% below-investment grade (“junk”) debt securities (e.g., high income funds);    
  10-50% equity securities (e.g., U.S. stock funds);    
  0-40% foreign securities (e.g., international stock and bond funds, including emerging market securities); and    
  0-20% alternative asset classes (e.g., real estate investment trust funds, natural resources funds, precious metal funds and long/short funds).    

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Ultra Series Conservative Allocation Fund (Class I) returned 0.66% for the period, underperforming the Conservative Allocation Fund Custom Index return of 0.84%. The Fund however, outperformed its peers as measured by the Morningstar Conservative Allocation Category, which advanced 0.60%.

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION AS A PERCENTAGE OF NET ASSETS

MODERATE ALLOCATION FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

Under normal circumstances, the Ultra Series Moderate Allocation Fund’s total net assets will be allocated among various asset classes and Underlying Funds, including those whose shares trade on a stock exchange (exchange traded funds or “ETFs”), with target allocations over time of approximately 60% equity investments and 40% fixed income investments. Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests may include Affiliated Underlying Funds. Generally, Madison will not invest more than 75% of the Fund’s net assets, at the time of purchase, in Affiliated Underlying Funds. Although actual allocations may vary, the Fund’s asset allocation among asset classes and Underlying Funds is expected to be approximately:

  0-15% money market funds;    
  10-60% debt securities (e.g., bond funds and convertible bond funds);    
  0-20% below-investment grade (“junk”) debt securities (e.g., high income funds);    
  20-80% equity securities (e.g., U.S. stock funds);    
  0-50% foreign securities (e.g., international stock and bond funds, including emerging market securities); and    
  0-20% alternative asset classes (e.g., real estate investment trust funds, natural resources funds, precious metal funds and long/short funds).    

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Ultra Series Moderate Allocation Fund (Class I) returned 1.08% for the period, while its blended benchmark, the Moderate Allocation Fund Custom Index, returned 1.47%. The Fund also lagged its Morningstar peer group as the Moderate Allocation Category returned an average of 1.22%.

AGGRESSIVE ALLOCATION FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

Under normal circumstances, the Ultra Series Aggressive Allocation Fund’s total net assets will be allocated among various asset classes and Underlying Funds, including those whose shares trade on a stock exchange (exchange traded funds or “ETFs”), with target allocations over time of approximately 85% equity investments and 15% fixed income investments. Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests may include Affiliated Underlying Funds. Generally, Madison will not invest more than 75% of Fund’s net assets, at the time of purchase, in Affiliated Underlying Funds. Although actual allocations may vary, the Fund’s asset allocation among asset classes and Underlying Funds is expected to be approximately:

  0-10% money market funds;    
  0-30% debt securities, all of which could be in below investment grade (“junk”) debt securities (e.g., bond funds, convertible bond funds and high income funds);    
  30-90% equity securities (e.g., U.S. stock funds);    
  0-60% foreign securities (e.g., international stock and bond funds, including emerging market securities); and

  0-20% alternative asset classes (e.g., real estate investment trust funds, natural resources funds, precious metal funds and long/short funds).    

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Ultra Series Aggressive Allocation Fund (Class I) returned 1.41% for the period, outperforming its blended benchmark, the Aggressive Allocation Fund Custom Index, which returned 1.23%. The Fund underperformed its Morningstar Aggressive Allocation Category peer group, which averaged a 1.95% return.

MONEY MARKET FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

The Ultra Series Money Market Fund invests exclusively in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities maturing in thirteen months or less from the date of purchase. These securities will be obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities, but may also include securities issued by U.S. and foreign financial institutions, corporations, municipalities, foreign governments, and multinational organizations, such as the World Bank. The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, including those representing pools of mortgage, commercial, or consumer loans originated by financial institutions.

 
PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION

With the Federal Reserve continuing to pin short-term rates at near zero, management maintained its fee waivers to preserve investment capital. However, no dividends were produced over the course of this six-month period.

U.S. Treasury Notes   11.8 %
Federal Farm Credit Bank   9.8 %
Cash and Other Net Assets   5.9 %

CORE BOND FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

Under normal circumstances, the Ultra Series Core Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds. To keep current income relatively stable and to limit share price volatility, the Fund emphasizes investment grade securities and maintains an intermediate (typically 3-7 year) average portfolio duration, with the goal of being between 85-115% of the market benchmark duration. The Fund also strives to add incremental return in the portfolio by making strategic decisions relating 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 DESCRIPTION

The Ultra Series Core Bond Fund (Class I) declined 0.13% for the period, moderately trailing the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which declined 0.10%, and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Government and Mortgage Index, which declined 0.09%. The Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond peer group gained 0.01% for the period.

Asset Backed Securities   1.9 %
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities   1.3 %
Short-Term Investments and Other Net Assets and Liabilities   1.3 %

HIGH INCOME FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

The Ultra Series 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 the 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 Ultra Series High Income Fund (Class I) returned 3.26% during the period, beating the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index’s 2.49% return. The Fund also outperformed its Morningstar High Yield Bond category peer group, which returned 2.40%.

DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

The Ultra Series 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 (including investment grade, high yield and mortgage- or asset-backed) may constitute up to 80% of the Fund’s assets, stocks (including common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible bonds) may constitute up to 70% of the Fund’s assets, real estate securities may constitute up to 25% of the Fund’s assets, foreign (including emerging market) stocks and bonds may 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 to invest up to 80% of its assets in lower credit quality bonds, under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to limit the investment in lower credit quality bonds to less than 50% of the Fund’s assets. The balance between the two strategies of the Fund (fixed income and equity investing) is determined after reviewing the risks associated with each type of investment, with the goal of meaningful risk reduction as market conditions demand.

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSIONS

The Ultra Series Diversified Income Fund (Class I) declined 1.42% for the period, trailing its blended index (50% Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate, Government and Mortgage Index and 50% S&P 500®) which returned 0.67%. The Fund’s designated Morningstar peer group, the Moderate Allocation category, averaged a 1.22% return for the period.

Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities   0.5 %
Short-Term Investments and Other Net Assets and Liabilities   1.8 %

LARGE CAP VALUE FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

The Ultra Series 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.

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSIONS

The Ultra Series Large Cap Value Fund (Class I) declined 1.24% for the period, trailing its benchmark, the Russell

LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

The Ultra Series Large Cap Growth Fund invests primarily in common stocks of larger companies and will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its net assets in large cap stocks. Stocks selected for the Fund will represent primarily well-established companies that have a demonstrated pattern of consistent growth. To a lesser extent, the Fund may invest in less established companies that may offer more rapid growth potential.

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Ultra Series Large Cap Growth Fund (Class I) returned 2.32% for the period, trailing its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which was up 3.96%. The Fund underperformed its peer group, Morningstar Large Growth category, which averaged a return of 4.02% over the same period.

MID CAP FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

The Ultra Series Mid Cap Fund generally invests in common stocks of midsize companies and will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its net assets in mid cap securities. The Fund seeks attractive long-term returns through bottom-up security selection based on fundamental analysis in a diversified portfolio of high-quality growth companies with attractive valuations. These will typically be industry leading companies in niches with strong growth prospects. The Fund’s portfolio managers believe in selecting stocks for the Fund that show steady, sustainable growth and reasonable valuations. As a result, stocks of issuers that are believed to have a blend of both value and growth potential will be selected for investment.

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Ultra Series Mid Cap Fund (Class I) returned 2.05% for the period, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Index, with a 2.35% return. The Fund trailed its peer group, the Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth category, whose average return was 5.88%.

SMALL CAP FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

The Ultra Series 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. The portfolio managers employ a value-oriented investment approach in selecting stocks, using proprietary fundamental research to identify securities of companies they believe have attractive valuations. The portfolio managers focus on companies with a record of above average rates of profitability that sell at a discount relative to the overall small cap market. Through fundamental research, the portfolio managers seek to identify those companies that possess one or more of the following characteristics: sustainable competitive advantages within a market niche; strong profitability and free cash flows; strong market share positions and trends; quality of and share ownership by management; and financial structures that are more conservative than the relevant industry average.

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

The Ultra Series Small Cap Fund (Class I) returned 5.22% for the period, outperforming both the Russell 2000® Index’s 4.75% and the Russell 2000® Value Index’s 0.76% return. The Fund also outperformed its peer group average, as the Morningstar Small Blend category averaged a return of 3.50%.

INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND
 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

The Ultra Series 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 cap 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 it believes 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 it believes that income bearing securities have greater capital appreciation potential than equity securities.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

The Ultra Series Fund (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is a series trust with, at the end of the period covered by this report, 16 investment portfolios (individually, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), each with different investment objectives and policies. The Funds reported within this book at the end of the period were the Money Market Fund, Core Bond Fund, High Income Fund, Diversified Income Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Small Cap Fund and International Stock Fund (collectively, the “Core Funds”), and the Conservative Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund and Aggressive Allocation Fund (collectively, the “Target Allocation Funds”).

The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of the Trust without par value. All Funds offer Class I and II shares. 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 fee, if any, and its proportional share of Fund level expenses, and has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act as it relates to that class and other class specific matters. Shares are offered to separate accounts (the “Accounts”) of CMFG Life Insurance Company and to qualified pension and retirement plans of CMFG Life Insurance Company or its affiliates (“CUNA Mutual Group”). The Trust may, in the future, offer other share classes to separate accounts of insurance companies and to qualified pension and retirement plans that are not affiliated with CUNA Mutual Group. The Trust does not offer shares directly to the general public.

The Trust has entered into a Management Agreement with Madison Asset Management, LLC (the “Investment Adviser” or “Madison”). The Investment Adviser, in turn, has entered into subadvisory agreements with certain subadvisers (“Subadvisers”) for the management of the investments of the High Income, Small Cap and International Stock Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies (ASC 946). 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 Depositary 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 measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments.

Municipal debt securities are traded via a network among dealers and brokers that connect buyers and sellers. Liquidity in the tax-exempt market has been reduced as a result of overall economic conditions and credit tightening. There may be little trading in the secondary market for the 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 Target Allocation Fund consist primarily of shares of other registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”), the NAV of each Fund is determined based on the NAV’s 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 Money Market Fund are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates market 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. 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 market 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 Target 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 a Target Allocation Fund to do the same because of delays in obtaining the Underlying Fund’s NAV.

A Fund’s investments (or Underlying Fund) 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.

Ultra Series Fund | Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | June 30, 2015

In addition to independent 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 Trust. 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.

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. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. 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 Trust’s 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 June 30, 2015, 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., market 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 Money Market Fund, which can only invest in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign money market securities, 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”. Only the International Stock Fund had net realized gains from 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.


 
52

Ultra Series Fund | Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | June 30, 2015

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Each Fund, except the Money Market Fund, 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. As of June 30, 2015, 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 securities to 15% of net assets at the time of purchase, except for Money Market Fund, which limits the investment in illiquid securities to 5% of net assets. An illiquid security is generally defined as any investment that may be difficult to sell within seven days for the price at which the Fund values it. At June 30, 2015, investments in securities of the Core Bond, High Income and Diversified Income Funds include issues that are illiquid. As of that date, the aggregate values of illiquid securities held by the Core Bond, High Income and Diversified Income Funds were $3,907,392, $374,000 and $4,594,409, respectively, which represent 1.6%, 1.1% and 1.4% of net assets, respectively. Pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees, certain unregistered securities are determined to be liquid and are not included within the percent limitations specified above. Information concerning the illiquid securities held at June 30, 2015, which includes cost and acquisition date, is as follows:

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 market 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 June 30, 2015, 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “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 June 30, 2015, maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The Funds utilized the following fair value techniques: multi-dimensional relational pricing model and option adjusted spread pricing; 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 June 30, 2015, none of the Funds held securities deemed as a Level 3, and there were no transfers between classification levels.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, which expands secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements. This ASU also sets forth additional disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as sales, in order to provide financial statement users with information to compare to similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. This ASU is effective prospectively during interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management has determined that the updated standards have no material impact on the Funds’ financial statements as the Funds do not hold repurchase agreements.

Derivatives: The FASB issued guidance intended to enhance financial statement disclosure for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a Fund uses derivative investments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge fund items are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items affect a Fund’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The following table presents the types of derivatives in the Core Bond Fund by location as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2015:

Management has determined there is no impact on the financial statements of the other Funds held in the Trust as they currently do not hold derivative financial instruments.

3. MANAGEMENT, DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND OTHER EXPENSES

Management Agreement: For services under the Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive a management fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate based upon the following percentages of average daily net assets of each Fund as follows as of June 30, 2015:

Fund     Management Fee

   
Conservative Allocation     0.30%
Moderate Allocation     0.30%
Aggressive Allocation     0.30%
Money Market     0.45%
Core Bond     0.55%
High Income     0.75%
Diversified Income     0.70%
Large Cap Value     0.60%
Large Cap Growth     0.80%
Mid Cap     0.90%
Small Cap     1.10%
International Stock     1.15%

The Management Agreement requires the Investment Advisor to provide or arrange to provide overall management of the Funds, including but not limited to, investment advisory services, custody, transfer agency, dividend disbursing, legal, accounting and administrative services. Neither Management Agreement includes Trustee compensation or the fees paid to the Trust’s independent Registered Public Accountant.

The Investment Adviser is solely responsible for the payment of all fees to the Subadvisers. The Subadvisers for the Funds are Shenkman Capital Management, Inc. for the High Income Fund, Wellington Management Company, LLP for the Small Cap Fund, NorthRoad Capital Management LLC, an affiliate of Madison, for the International Stock Fund. The Investment Adviser manages the Money Market Fund, Core Bond Fund, Diversified Income Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Fund and the Target Allocation Funds.

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. In that regard, the Investment Adviser waived a portion of management fees on the Money Market Class I Shares and Class II Shares. The amount of the daily waiver was equal to the amount required to maintain a minimum daily distribution rate of zero. Effective July 1, 2014, the Investment Adviser contractually agreed to waive a portion (0.10%) of its management fee on the Target Allocation Funds until at least April 30, 2016. For the period ended June 30, 2015, the waivers were as follows:

 
57

Ultra Series Fund | Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | June 30, 2015

                                                       Waived Fees or Expenses*
 
Fund     Class I   Class II   Total Waivers
                         
Money Market   $ 28,962     $ 2,809     $ 31,771  
Conservative Allocation     74,782       18,473       93,255  
Moderate Allocation     148,746       16,850       165,596  
Aggressive Allocation     58,688       891       59,579  

*The Investment Adviser does not have the right to recoup these waived fees.

Distribution Agreement: MFD Distributor, LLC (“MFD”) serves as distributor of the Funds. The Trust adopted a distribution and service plan with respect to the Trust’s Class II shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, the Trust will pay a service fee with regard to Class II shares at an annual rate of 0.25% each Fund’s daily net assets:

MFD may from time to time voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the Funds. In this regard, the distributor waived a portion of 12b-1 fees on the Money Market Class II shares for the purpose of maintaining a one-day yield of zero. For the period ended June 30, 2015, the waivers totaled $1,950 and are reflected as fees waived in the Statements of Operations. MFD does not have the right to recoup these waived fees.

Other Expenses: Except as provided below, in addition to the management fee, the Trust is responsible for fees of the independent trustees, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of investments, costs of borrowing money, overdrafts, if any, expenses for independent audits, any potential taxes owed and extraordinary expenses as approved by a majority of independent trustees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of the Investment Adviser. The Funds do not compensate their officers or affiliated trustees. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board may change trustee fees paid at any time.

4. DIVIDENDS FROM NET INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL GAINS

The Money Market Fund declares dividends from net investment income and net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, daily, and net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, annually, which are reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the Fund. The remaining Funds declare dividends from net investment income and net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, annually, which are reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the respective Funds.

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 of the Funds may 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.

5. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

For the period ended June 30, 2015, aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term investment, were as follows:

6. FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS

Effective May 1, 2015, 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 enter into futures contracts. The 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 market 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Options on Futures Contracts. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the 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.

Transactions in written option contracts for Core Bond Fund during the period ended June 30, 2015, were as follows:

    Number of Contracts   Premiums Received
         
Options outstanding, beginning of period         $        –  
Options written during the period     30       16,785  
Options closed during the period            
Options exercised during the period            
Options expired during the period

7. FOREIGN SECURITIES

Each Fund may invest in foreign securities; however, the Money Market Fund is limited to U.S. dollar-denominated foreign money market 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 American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), Swedish Depositary Receipts (“SDRs”) and foreign money market securities. U.S. dollar- denominated securities that are part of the Merrill Lynch U.S. Domestic Master Index are not considered a foreign security.

Certain of the Funds have reclaim 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 collectable.

8. SECURITIES LENDING

Each Fund, except the Target Allocation, Money Market and Small Cap Fund, entered into a Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Funds may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in order to earn additional income. The Agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times by cash or other liquid assets at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities, which is determined on a daily basis. 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 if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Funds could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or in gaining access to collateral.

The Funds did not engage in any securities lending activity during the period ended June 30, 2015.

9. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. 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 June 30, 2015. 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 2011 through 2014.

For federal income tax purposes, the Funds listed below have capital loss carryovers as of December 31, 2014, which are available to offset future capital gains, if any, realized through the fiscal year listed:

                                                    No Expiration-

The capital loss carryovers for Mid Cap Fund, Small Cap Fund and International Stock Fund are subject to certain limitations upon availability, to offset future gains, pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

At June 30, 2015, 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:

Fund   Appreciation   Depreciation   Net
             
Conservative Allocation $ 8,782,177     $ 754,891     $ 8,027,286

International Stock   4,227,387       4,564,002       (336,615 )

The differences between the book unrealized amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and tax unrealized amounts (shown above) are due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

10. CONCENTRATION OF 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 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 policy risk, which are the risks associated with the Federal Reserve System’s program to stabilize the economy (the “quantitative easing program”) in the wake of the financial crisis that began in 2007. As a result of the quantitative easing program, the United States is experiencing historically low interest rate levels. A low interest rate environment can pose risks to a Fund, because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders and pay expenses out of Fund assets. However, continued economic recovery and the cessation of the quantitative easing program increase the risk that interest rates will rise in the near future and that the Funds will face a heightened level of interest rate 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. Effective May 1, 2015, the Core Bond 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 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.

Effective May 1, 2015, 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 Target 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.

The Fund is 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 Fund, the Investment Adviser, and other service providers, their systems, networks, or devices could potentially be breached. The Fund, its shareholders, and the Investment Adviser could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach. The Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund. The Fund does monitor this risk closely.

Additionally, the Target 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.

In addition to the other risks described above 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

Ultra Series Fund | Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | June 30, 2015

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.

11. CAPITAL SHARES AND AFFILIATED OWNERSHIP

All capital shares outstanding at June 30, 2015, are owned by separate investment accounts and/or pension plans of CMFG Life Insurance Company.

The Target Allocation Funds invest in Underlying Funds, 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 Underlying Funds”). Madison Funds’ historical financial information is available to you at no cost on the Securities and Exchange Commission’ s website at www.sec.gov, by calling 1-800-877-6089 or by visiting the Madison Funds’ website at www.madisonfunds.com.

FUND EXPENSES PAID BY SHAREHOLDERS

As a shareholder of the Funds, you pay no transaction costs, but do incur ongoing costs which include management fees; disinterested trustee fees; brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of investments; costs of borrowing money; expenses for independent audits, taxes, and extraordinary expenses as approved by a majority of the disinterested trustees. The examples in the table that follows 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 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. Expenses paid during the period in the table below are equal to each 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 “Actual” 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.

Ultra Series Fund | June 30, 2015

Economic Overview and Market Outlook

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, the S&P 500® Index tallied a 1.23% gain even with the late June downturn fueled by the uncertainty in Greece as it tried to negotiate a solution to its debt woes. Despite this, foreign markets, which had been struggling in 2014, saw an upswing of 5.52% according to the broad international index, MSCI EAFE (net). Bond investors experienced increased volatility during the second quarter as interest rates trended higher and world events played out. Yields rose as Federal Reserve remarks (supported by positive U.S. economic developments) reaffirmed their intention to raise short-term rates in the not so distant future. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index fell 0.10% during the period.

Looking forward, we believe market volatility will increase as we edge closer to the start of a rising interest rate cycle. Elevated asset levels remain a concern, especially as earnings growth estimates are now falling to near-zero, driven in part by the strong U.S. dollar (resulting in fewer exports), slower global growth and weaker results in the Energy sector. While growth appears to be materializing in Europe, issues around the solidarity of the euro along with increasing friction with Russia may prolong the weakness.

As we navigate these shifting economic conditions we believe in a long-term investment approach. The common thread throughout the Ultra Series Funds is high-conviction, high active-share fund management. Our goal is to provide superior long-term returns while striving to manage risk and capital loss.

BENCHMARK DESCRIPTIONS

Benchmark Notes

The primary benchmarks for the Target Retirement Date Funds are changing from the Dow Jones Global Target Date Indexes to the S&P Target Date® Index Series, as these new indexes better reflect the manner in which the Funds are managed. The Target Retirement Date 2020 Fund’s index is changing from the Dow Jones Global 2020 Index to the S&P Target Date® To 2020 Index, the Target Retirement Date 2030 Fund’s index is changing from the Dow Jones Global 2030 Index to the S&P Target Date® To 2030 Index, the Target Retirement Date 2040 Fund’s index is changing from the Dow Jones Global 2040 Index to the S&P Target Date® To 2040 Index and the Target Retirement Date 2050 Fund’s index is changing from the Dow Jones Global 2050 Index to the S&P Target Date® To 2050 Index.

Market Indexes

The Dow Jones Global Target 2020 Index is a benchmark for multi-asset class portfolios with risk profiles that become more conservative as the year 2020 approaches. The index is a composite of other indexes that represent stocks, bonds and cash.

The Dow Jones Global Target 2030 Index is a benchmark for multi-asset class portfolios with risk profiles that become more conservative as the year 2030 approaches. The index is a composite of other indexes that represent stocks, bonds and cash.

The Dow Jones Global Target 2040 Index is a benchmark for multi-asset class portfolios with risk profiles that become more conservative as the year 2040 approaches. The index is a composite of other indexes that represent stocks, bonds and cash.

The Dow Jones Global Target 2050 Index is a benchmark for multi-asset class portfolios with risk profiles that become more conservative as the year 2050 approaches. The index is a composite of other indexes that represent stocks, bonds and cash.

The S&P Target Date® To Index Series

The S&P Target Date® “To” Index Series consists of multi-asset class indices, and corresponds to specific target retirement dates. The series reflects the consensus asset allocation and glide path of a subset of target date funds that generally pursue investment policies characterized by static total equity exposure after retirement and a relatively conservative total equity exposure near retirement. As the overall universe becomes more conservative with the approach of each target date year, so will the index. The asset allocation is based on market observations through an annual survey of “to” target date fund managers, and is categorized by S&P Dow Jones Indices.

The S&P Target Date® To 2020 Index is a benchmark for multi-class asset portfolios that corresponds to the target retirement date 2020.
The S&P Target Date® To 2030 Index is a benchmark for multi-class asset portfolios that corresponds to the target retirement date 2030.
The S&P Target Date® To 2040 Index is a benchmark for multi-class asset portfolios that corresponds to the target retirement date 2040.
The S&P Target Date® To 2050 Index is a benchmark for multi-class asset portfolios that corresponds to the target retirement date 2050.

Ultra Series Fund | June 30, 2015

Notes to Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION

The Ultra Series Fund (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the investment company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is a series trust with, at the end of the period covered by this report, 16 investment portfolios (individually, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), each with different investment objectives and policies. The Funds currently reporting within this book at the end of the period were the Madison Target Retirement 2020 Fund, Madison Target Retirement 2030 Fund, Madison Target Retirement 2040 Fund, and Madison Target Retirement 2050 Fund, (collectively, the “Target Date Funds” or “Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement Funds” or “USF Target Date Funds”).

The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of the Trust without par value. The Target Date Funds only offer a single class of shares, Class I shares. The shares represent an interest in the assets of the respective Fund and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except the class of shares bears its own distribution fees, if any, and its proportional share of Fund level expenses, and has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to Rule 12b-1under the 1940 Act as it relates to that class and other class specific matters. Shares are offered to qualified pension and retirement plans of CMFG Life Insurance Company or its affiliates (“CUNA Mutual Group”). The Trust may, in the future, offer other share classes to qualified pension and retirement plans that are not affiliated with CUNA Mutual Group. The Trust does not offer shares directly to the general public.

The Trust has entered into a Management Agreement with Madison Asset Management, LLC (the “Investment Adviser” or “Madison”).

Each Target Date Fund, each a feeder fund, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a respective master fund (the “Master Fund”), each master fund a series of the Madison Funds. Madison Funds is an open-end diversified investment management company advised by the Investment Adviser. The financial statements of each of the respective Master Funds should be read in conjunction with the Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement Funds’ financial statements. The valuation policies of the Master Funds can be found within the above referenced financial statements. As of June 30, 2015, the Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2020 Fund owned approximately 99.43% of the respective Madison Funds Master Fund, the Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2030 Fund owned approximately 98.80% of the respective Madison Funds Master Fund, the Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2040 Fund owned approximately 99.98% of the respective Madison Funds Master Fund, and the Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2050 Fund owned approximately 99.56% of the respective Madison Funds Master Fund. See also Appendix A, page 15 for the Portfolio of Investments, and Appendix B, page 17 for the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for the respective Master Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies (ASC 946). 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 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.

Investments in shares of open-end mutual 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 Target Date Fund consist primarily of shares of other registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”), the NAV of each Fund is determined based on the NAV’s 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.

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. Financial futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price established by the exchange(s) on which the contracts are primarily traded. 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 market 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 Target Date 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 a Target Date Fund to do the same because of delays in obtaining the Underlying Fund’s NAV.

A Fund’s investments (or Underlying Fund) 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 independent 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

Ultra Series Fund | Notes to the Financial Statements - continued | June 30, 2015

parameters established by the Committee and approved by the Trust. 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 in is on holiday.

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. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. 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.

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 Trust’s 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 June 30, 2015, 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., market 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, 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.

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 changes in market prices of securities. Such amounts are categorized as gain or loss on investments for financial reporting purposes.

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.

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “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 June 30, 2015, maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The Funds utilized the following fair value techniques: multi-dimensional relational pricing model and option adjusted spread pricing; 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 June 30, 2015, 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 June 30, 2015, 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):

    Quoted Prices in

3. MANAGEMENT AND SERVICE AGREEMENTS AND OTHER EXPENSES

Management Agreement: For services under the Management Agreement, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive a management fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective with the launch of the Madison Funds Madison Target Date Funds or Master Funds (see Note 1), the Funds invested substantially all of their assets in these Master Funds. In order to avoid charging duplicate fees, from August 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, these fees were waived by the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser does not have the right to recoup any of these waived fees. In that same regard, effective January 1, 2015, and as long as each USF Target Date Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the underlying Madison Target Date Fund discussed above, the USF Target Date Funds shall not pay any management fees to the Investment Adviser in recognition of the fees paid to the Adviser by the corresponding Madison Funds Madison Target Retirement Date Funds to avoid charging duplicate fees.

Service Agreement: The Investment Adviser provides or arranges for each Fund to have all of the necessary operational and support services it needs for a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.05% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective with the launch of the Madison Funds Madison Target Date Funds or Master Funds (see Note 1), the Funds invested substantially all of their assets in these Master Funds. In order to avoid charging duplicate fees, from August 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, these fees were waived by the Investment Adviser. The Investment Adviser does not have the right to recoup any of these waived fees. In that same regard, effective January 1, 2015, and as long as each USF Target Date Fund invests substantially all of its assets in the underlying Madison Target Date Fund discussed above, the USF Target Date Funds shall not pay any service fees to the Investment Adviser in recognition of the fees paid to the Adviser by the corresponding Madison Funds Madison Target Retirement Date Funds to avoid charging duplicate fees.

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

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of the Investment Adviser. The Funds do not compensate their officers or affiliated trustees. The Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board may change trustee fees paid at any time.

4. DIVIDENDS FROM NET INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL GAINS

The Funds declare dividends from net investment income and net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, annually, which are reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the respective Funds.

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 of the Funds may 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.

5. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

For the period ended June 30, 2015, aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term investment, were as follows:

Fund   Purchases   Sales
Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2020   $1,339,845   $4,851,594
Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2030   1,381,958    4,898,551
Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2040   1,198,424    7,507,468
Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2050   1,211,395    2,997,474

 

6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. 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 June 30, 2015. 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 December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2014.

For federal income tax purposes, the Target Date Funds did not have capital loss carryovers as of December 31, 2014.

At June 30, 2015, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net unrealized appreciation for all securities as computed on a federal income tax basis for each Fund were as follows:

Fund Appreciation   Depreciation   Net
Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2020   $  5,264,002     $              –      $   5,264,002
Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2030   10,791,385     –          10,791,385
Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2040   8,328,331     –            8,328,331
Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2050   2,985,848     –            2,985,848

 

The differences between the book unrealized amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and tax unrealized amounts (shown above) are due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

7. INVESTMENT 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 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.

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 Target Date Funds are fund of funds, meaning that they invest primarily in the shares of other registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”), including exchange traded funds (“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, these 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 Target Date 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.

Ultra Series Fund | Notes to the Financial Statements - concluded | June 30, 2015

The Fund is 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 Fund, the Investment Adviser, and other service providers, their systems, networks, or devices could potentially be breached. The Fund, its shareholders, and the Investment Adviser could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach. The Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund. The Fund does monitor this risk closely.

In addition to the other risks described above 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.

Other Information (unaudited)

FUND EXPENSES PAID BY SHAREHOLDERS

As a shareholder of the Funds, you pay no transaction costs, but may indirectly (see Note 3) incur ongoing costs which include management fees; disinterested trustee fees; brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of investments; costs of borrowing money; expenses for independent audits, taxes, and extraordinary expenses as approved by a majority of the disinterested trustees. The examples in the table that follows 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 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. Expenses paid during the period in the table below are equal to each 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 “Actual” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

        CLASS I    
    Beginning   Ending   Annual   Expenses Paid
Fund   Account Value   Account Value   Expense Ratio1   During Period
Ultra Series Madison Target                
Retirement 2020 Fund   $1,000   $1,009.90   0.00%   $0.00

Ultra Series Madison Target              
Retirement 2050 Fund     1,000     1,020.00   0.00%     0.00

 

1Amount does not include expenses of the underlying Master Fund, nor the underlying expense of the funds held by the Master Fund. See Note 1 for an explanation of the Fund organizational structure, Note 3 for a description of the expense structure, and the current prospectus for more complete information regarding the charges and expenses of the Target Date Funds.

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.

        CLASS I      
    Beginning   Ending   Annual     Expenses Paid
Fund Account Value   Account Value Expense Ratio1 During Period
Ultra Series Madison Target                
Retirement 2020 Fund   $1,000   $1,024.79   0.00%   $0.00

1Amount does not include expenses of the underlying Master Fund, nor the underlying expense of the funds held by the Master Fund. See Note 1 for an explanation of the Fund organizational structure, Note 3 for a description of the expense structure, and the current prospectus for more complete information regarding the charges and expenses of the Target Date Funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any separate account fees, charges, or expenses imposed by the variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts, or retirement and pension plans that use the Funds. The information provided in the hypothetical example table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these fees, charges or expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

To Our Shareholders:

Thank you for being a valued shareholder of Madison Funds. We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for the six month period ended April 30, 2015. This report includes information about your Funds, including performance data and a complete list of investments as of the close of the reporting period.

Timely Information

One thing is undeniable about semi-annual reports: the information is dated when you receive it. The semi-annual and annual reports are regulatory documents to help you, the shareholder, better understand the Funds. These reports contain useful information, but the performance data and Fund performance discussions have aged by the time you receive this report. We believe it is important to find a better way to provide more timely and useful information to you.

With that in mind, beginning with this semi-annual report we reference the madisonfunds.com website in the Performance Discussion for each Fund. Our website is the best way for you to receive the most up-to-date performance information and newly-added quarterly portfolio manager commentaries. These commentaries give you the opportunity to hear directly from the portfolio managers and provide greater insight into the investment process, strategy, and decisions that impact your Fund. We hope you find this information easily accessible, informative and timely.

Economic Overview & Outlook

The six month period ended April 30, 2015 saw a continuation of the stock market rally that commenced in the spring of 2009. Equities enjoyed solid gains with the S&P 500 and Russell 1000® indexes moving up 4.40% and 4.75%, respectively. Even foreign markets, which had been struggling, saw an upswing of 6.81% for the period according to the broad international index, MSCI EAFE. Bond portfolios also posted positive results as interest rates fell and risk premiums declined slightly. The Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index gained 1.6% and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was up 2.06% for the period.

During the period, U.S. economic data was modestly positive with improving labor conditions, increasing consumer and business confidence and subdued inflation. On the global front, economic data continued to be mixed with little-to-no growth in Europe and slowing growth in the emerging economies. Divergent central bank policies, volatile energy prices and a strengthening U.S. dollar also captured investor’s attention during the six month period.

As we navigate these shifting economic conditions we believe a long-term investment approach is in the best interest of our shareholders. The common thread throughout our fund family is high-conviction, high active-share portfolio management. Our goal is to provide superior long-term returns while managing risk and minimizing capital loss. This has been our firm’s hallmark since its inception in 1974.

We greatly value the confidence you place in us.

Best Regards,

Katherine L. Frank
President, Madison Funds

Review of Period (unaudited)

 

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

Asset allocation optimization analysis – considers the degree to which returns in different asset classes do or do not move together, and the Funds’ aim to achieve a favorable overall risk profile for any targeted portfolio return.
Scenario analysis– historical and expected return data is analyzed to model how individual asset classes and combinations of asset classes would affect the Funds under different economic and market conditions.
Fundamental analysis – draws upon Madison’s investment teams to judge each asset class against current and forecasted market conditions. Economic, industry and security analysis is used to develop return and risk expectations that may influence asset class selection. In addition, Madison has a flexible mandate which permits the Funds, at the sole discretion of Madison, to materially reduce equity risk exposures when and if conditions are deemed to warrant such an action.

MADISON CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
 
Under normal circumstances, the Madison Conservative Allocation Fund’s total net assets will be allocated among various asset classes and Underlying Funds, including those whose shares trade on a stock exchange (exchange traded funds or “ETFs”), with target allocations over time of approximately 35% equity investments and 65% fixed income investments. Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests may include funds advised by Madison and/or its affiliates, including other Madison Funds (the “Affiliated Underlying Funds”). Generally, Madison will not invest more than 75% of the Fund’s net assets, at the time of purchase, in Affiliated Underlying Funds. Although actual allocations may vary, the Fund’s asset allocation among asset classes and Underlying Funds is expected to be approximately:

 

0-20% money market funds;
20-80% debt securities (e.g., bond funds and convertible bond funds);
0-20% below-investment grade (“junk”) debt securities (e.g., high income funds);
10-50% equity securities (e.g., U.S. stock funds);
0-40% foreign securities (e.g., international stock and bond funds, including emerging market securities); and
0-20% alternative asset classes (e.g., real estate investment trust funds, natural resources funds, precious metal funds and long/short funds).

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
The Madison Conservative Allocation Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 2.85% for the period, underperforming the Conservative Allocation Fund Custom Index return of 3.14%. The Fund outperformed its peers as measured by the Morningstar Conservative Allocation Category, which advanced 1.73%.

20-80% equity securities (e.g., U.S. stock funds);
0-50% foreign securities (e.g., international stock and bond funds, including emerging market securities); and
0-20% alternative asset classes (e.g., real estate investment trust funds, natural resources funds, precious metal funds and long/short funds).

MADISON CASH RESERVES FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
 
The Madison Cash Reserves Fund invests exclusively in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities maturing in thirteen months or less from the date of purchase.

MADISON GOVERNMENT BOND FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

MADISON HIGH QUALITY BOND FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
 
The Madison High Quality Bond Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives 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 or equivalent.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
The Madison High Quality Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 0.87% for the period, trailing the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government Credit A+ Index which advanced 1.55%. The Morningstar Short-Term Bond peer group gained 0.66% for the period.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

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 A- or better, an overall portfolio dollar weighted average maturity of 15 years or less, and an overall portfolio duration within 25% of the Barclays U.S. Credit 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 2.23% for the period, while its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Credit Bond Index gained 2.26%. The Fund outperformed its peer group, the Morningstar Corporate Bond category, which averaged a 2.00% 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 1.45% during the period, trailing the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Constrained Index’s 1.52% return. The Fund outperformed its Morningstar High Yield Bond category peer group, which returned 1.08%.

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. Generally, however, bonds may constitute up to 80% of the Fund’s assets, stocks may constitute up to 70% of the Fund’s assets, real estate securities may constitute up to 25% of the Fund’s assets, foreign stocks and bonds may constitute up to 25% of the Fund’s assets and money market instruments may constitute up to 25% of the Fund’s assets. 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 1.49% for the period, trailing its blended index (50% Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate, Government and Mortgage Index and 50% S&P 500®) which returned 3.37%. The Fund’s designated Morningstar peer group, the Moderate Allocation category, averaged a 3.02% return for the period.

MADISON COVERED CALL & EQUITY INCOME FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
 
The Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund (formerly the Madison Equity Income Fund) invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in common stocks of large-and mid-capitalization companies that are, in the view of the Fund’s investment adviser, selling at a reasonable price in relation to their long-term earnings growth rates. The portfolio managers will allocate the Fund’s assets among stocks in sectors of the economy based upon their views on forward earnings growth rates, adjusted to reflect their views on economic and market conditions and sector risk factors.
 
The Fund will seek to generate current earnings from option premiums by writing (selling) covered call options on a substantial portion of its portfolio securities. The extent of option writing activity will depend upon market conditions and the portfolio managers’ ongoing assessment of the attractiveness of writing call options on the Fund’s stock holdings. In addition to providing income, covered call writing helps to reduce the volatility (and risk profile) of the Fund by providing downside protection.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 

The Madison Covered Call & Equity Income Fund (Class Y) returned 2.64% for the period, while its covered call benchmark, the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM) returned 4.09%. However, the Fund outperformed the Morningstar Long/Short Equity category’s return of 1.85%.

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 40-55 securities which are chosen for having a current yield exceeding the S&P 500’s average yield, strong fundamentals (including an attractive balance sheet) and reasonable valuations at the time of purchase. A key attraction for management is a company with a history of increasing dividend payments and a business model which supports the possibility of continuing these increases in the future.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 

The Madison Dividend Income Fund (Class Y) returned 1.57% for the period, trailing its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, which advanced 4.40%.

MADISON LARGE CAP VALUE FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
 
The Madison Large Cap Value Fund will, under normal market conditions, invest primarily 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.

 

PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
The Madison Large Cap Value Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 1.88% for the period, trailing its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, which was up 2.89%. The Fund also lagged its Morningstar peer group, Large Cap Value category, which showed a 3.24% return.

MADISON INVESTORS FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Madison Investors Fund invests primarily in the common stocks of established, high-quality growth companies. The Fund typically owns 25-40 securities which are selected using our long-held investment discipline of seeking the highest-quality, proven companies and purchasing them when valuations appear advantageous. A rigorous three-pronged review 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 achieved, 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 3.15% for the period, trailing its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, which advanced 4.40%. This performance lagged its peer group, as the Morningstar Large Growth category was up 5.32%.

MADISON MID CAP FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

The Madison Mid Cap Fund invests generally in common stocks, securities convertible into common stocks and related equity securities of midsize companies and will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its net assets in such mid-cap securities. The Fund seeks attractive long-term returns through bottom-up security selection based on fundamental analysis in a diversified portfolio of high-quality growth companies with attractive valuations. These will typically be industry leading companies in niches with strong growth prospects. The Fund’s portfolio managers believe in selecting stocks for the Fund that show steady, sustainable growth and reasonable valuation. As a result, stocks of issuers that are believed to have a blend of both value and growth potential will be selected for investment. Stocks are generally sold when target prices are reached, company fundamentals deteriorate or more attractive stocks are identified.

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 such small cap securities. The portfolio managers employ a value-oriented investment approach in selecting stocks, using proprietary fundamental research to identify securities of companies they believe have attractive valuations. The portfolio managers focus on companies with a record of above average rates of profitability that sell at a discount relative to the overall small cap market. Through fundamental research, the portfolio managers seek to identify those companies which possess one or more of the following characteristics: sustainable competitive advantages within a market niche; strong profitability and free cash flows; strong market share positions and trends; quality of and share ownership by management; and financial structures that are more conservative than the relevant industry average.
 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 
The Madison Small Cap Fund (Class A at NAV) returned 4.87% for the period, outperforming both the Russell 2000® Index’s 4.65% and the Russell 2000® Value Index’s 2.05% return.

The asset allocation is based on market observations through an annual survey of “to” target date fund managers, and is categorized by S&P Dow Jones Indices.

1. ORGANIZATION

Madison Funds, a Delaware business 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 twenty six 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 subadvisory agreements with certain subadvisers (“Subadvisers”) for the management of the investments of the High Income Fund, Small Cap Fund, NorthRoad International Fund, International Stock Fund and Hansberger International Growth Fund.

After approval at a special meeting of shareholders of the Hansberger International Growth Fund (the “Hansberger Fund”) which was held on July 21, 2014, Madison assumed the investment management of the Hansberger Fund and reorganized it into the Madison Funds® after market close July 31, 2014. In a one-to-one exchange, existing Advisor Class shareholders of the Hansberger Fund became shareholders of Madison Hansberger International Growth Fund (“Acquiring Fund”) Class Y shares, and existing Hansberger Fund Institutional Class shareholders became shareholders of the Acquiring Fund Class I shares. While the Acquiring Fund was the legal survivor of the transaction, the predecessor Hansberger Fund was the accounting survivor of the transaction and therefore the historical performance of the predecessor Hansberger Fund was retained by the Acquiring Fund.

On August 29, 2014, Madison launched four new series of the Trust, the Madison Target Retirement 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050 Funds, respectively. In exchange for Class R6 shares of each new series of the Trust, substantially all portfolio holdings were received in-kind from the Ultra Series Madison Target Retirement 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050 Funds. Both the Ultra Series Target Date Funds and the Madison Target Date Funds are managed by Madison under the same portfolio management team.

The accompanying financial statements include the Cash Reserves, Tax-Free Virginia, Tax-Free National, Government Bond, High Quality Bond, Core Bond, Corporate Bond, High Income, Diversified Income, Covered Call & Equity Income, Dividend Income, Large Cap Value, Investors, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap, Small Cap, NorthRoad International, International Stock and Hansberger International Growth Funds (collectively, the “Core Funds”), the Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation, and Aggressive Allocation Funds (collectively, the “Allocation Funds”) and the Madison Target Retirement 2020 Fund, Madison Target Retirement 2030 Fund, Madison Target Retirement 2040 Fund, and Madison Target Retirement 2050 Fund, (collectively, the “Target Date Funds”). The Tax-Free Virginia Fund invests solely in securities exempt from both federal and Virginia state income taxes, while the Tax-Free National Fund invests in securities exempt from federal taxes ( together, the “Tax-Free Funds”).

The Cash Reserves Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A and B. The High Income, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Small Cap, 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 NorthRoad International Fund offers two classes of shares: Class Y and R6. The Tax-Free Virginia, Tax-Free National, Government Bond, High Quality Bond, Corporate Bond and Dividend Income offer one class of shares: Class Y. The Hansberger International Growth Fund offers two classes of shares: Class I and Y. The Target Date Funds offer one class of shares, Class R6 shares. 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.

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.

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 Depository Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary 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 measures based on valuation technology commonly employed in the market for such investments.

Municipal debt securities are traded via a network among dealers and brokers that connect buyers and sellers. Liquidity in the tax-exempt market has been reduced as a result of overall economic conditions and credit tightening. There may be little trading in the secondary market for the 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 and Target Date Fund consist primarily of shares of other registered investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”), the NAV of each Fund is determined based on the NAV’s 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 Cash Reserves Fund are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates market value.

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | April 30, 2015

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. 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 market value, are appraised at their fair values as determined in good faith by 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 and Target Date 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 or Target Date Fund to do the same because of delays in obtaining the Underlying Fund’s NAV.

A Fund’s investments (or Underlying Fund) 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.

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. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. 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. As of April 30, 2015, 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 Trust’s books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency-denominated transactions (i.e., market 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 Cash Reserves Fund and the Tax-Free Funds, which can only invest in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign money market securities, 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 NorthRoad International Fund, Small Cap, International Stock and Hansberger International Growth Funds had net realized losses of $136,608, $166, $808,570 and $6,914,245, related to foreign currency transactions, respectively. None of the funds had any net realized gains.

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 Cash Reserves Fund and the Tax-Free 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. As of April 30, 2015, 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 securities to 15% of net assets at the time of purchase, except for Cash Reserves Fund, which limits the investment in illiquid securities to 5% of net assets. An illiquid security is generally defined as any investment that may be difficult to sell within seven days for the price at which the Fund values it. At April 30, 2015, investments in securities of the Core Bond, Corporate Bond, High Income and Diversified Income Funds include issues that are illiquid. As of that date, the aggregate values of illiquid securities held by the Core Bond, Corporate Bond, High Income and Diversified Income Funds were $15,018,236, $1,693,840, $238,750 and $2,817,651, respectively, which represent 6.6%, 6.2%, 0.8% and 1.9% of net assets, respectively. Pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees, certain unregistered securities are determined to be liquid and are not included within the percent limitations specified above. Information concerning the illiquid securities held at April 30, 2015, which includes cost and acquisition date, is as follows:

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 market 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, 2015, 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “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.)

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | April 30, 2015

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, 2015, maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The Funds utilized the following fair value techniques: multi-dimensional relational pricing model and option adjusted spread pricing; 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, 2015, none of the Funds held securities deemed as a Level 3, and there were no transfers between classification levels during the six months ended April 30, 2015.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2015, 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):

New Accounting Pronouncement.In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, which expands secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements. This ASU also sets forth additional disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as sales, in order to provide financial statement users with information to compare to similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. This ASU is Effective prospectively during interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

Derivatives: The FASB issued guidance intended to enhance financial statement disclosure for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a Fund uses derivative investments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge fund items are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge fund items affect a Fund’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The following table presents the types of derivatives in the Covered Call & Equity Income Fund, by location as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of April 30, 2015:

Management has determined that there is no impact on the financial statements of the other Funds held in the Trust as they currently do not hold derivative financial instruments.

3. ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

The Investors Fund advisory fee is 0.75% on the first $100 million of assets, and 0.60% on assets in excess of $100 million. The Investment Adviser is solely responsible for the payment of all fees to the Subadvisers. The Subadvisers for the Funds at April 30, 2015, are Shenkman Capital Management, Inc. for the High Income Fund, Wellington Management Company, LLP for the Small Cap Fund, NorthRoad Capital Management, LLC for the NorthRoad International Fund, Lazard Asset Management LLC for the International Stock Fund and Hansberger Growth Investors, LP for the Hansberger International Growth 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. In that regard, the Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of advisory fees on the Cash Reserves Fund Class A Shares and Class B Shares until February 28, 2016, for the purpose of maintaining a one day yield of zero. The amount of the daily waiver was equal to the amount required to maintain a minimum daily distribution rate of zero. For the period ended April 30, 2015, the waivers totaled $41,015 for Class A Shares and $577 for Class B Shares and are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statement of Operations. A portion of the Government Bond and Dividend Income Fund’s advisory fee, 0.10% and 0.10%, respectively, is being waived by the Investment Adviser until February 28, 2016. For the period ended April 30, 2015, the waivers totaled $1,940 for Government Bond and $10,650 for Dividend Income and are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Investment Adviser does not have the right to recoup these waived fees.

The direct expenses of the Funds’ Independent Trustees and independent auditors are paid out of this fee on behalf of the Funds.

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. In that regard, the Investment Adviser waived a portion of service agreement fees on the Cash Reserves Fund Class A Shares and Class B Shares until at least February 28, 2016, 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. A portion of the Dividend Income and Investors Funds’ annual service fee, 0.05% and 0.15%, respectively, is being waived by the Investment Adviser until February 28, 2016. The waived amounts for the Cash Reserves, Dividend Income and Investors Funds are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statement of Operations. For the period ended April 30, 2015 the waivers were as follows:

Waived Fees or Expenses* 
                            Percentage of
                      Total   Annual Service
Fund   Class A   Class B   Class Y   Waivers   Fees Waived
Cash Reserves   $ 6,605   $ 254   $  –   $ 6,859    
Dividend Income             5,325     5,325   0.05 %
Investors     92,298             92,298   0.15 %

* The Investment Adviser does not have the right to recoup any of these waived fees.

Shareholder Servicing and Distribution (Rule 12b-1). Madison Funds has adopted, on behalf of certain funds and share classes, distribution and/or service plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). These plans permit the funds 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 Servicing 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 Cash Reserves 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 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

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 waived a portion of 12b-1 fees on the Cash Reserves Fund Class B Shares 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, 2015, the waivers totaled $1,352 and are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statement of Operations. MFD does not have the right to recoup these waived fees.

Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Funds. Rather, they are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment (Class A shares) or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance (Class A, B, and C shares), as applicable. MFD, in turn, uses a portion of these fees to pay third party selling brokers who sell Fund shares, as disclosed in the prospectus. The sales charges and CDSC collected from shareholders in this manner are presented in the “Amount Collected” section of the table below.

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 Cash Reserves Fund declares dividends, if any, daily and reinvests monthly. The Tax-Free, Government Bond, Core Bond, Corporate Bond, High Income and Diversified Income Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, monthly. The Conservative Allocation, High Quality, Dividend Income and Covered Call & Equity Income Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, quarterly. The Moderate Allocation, Aggressive Allocation, Large Cap Value, Investors, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap, Small Cap, NorthRoad International, International Stock, Hansberger International Growth and the Target Date 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.

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 will pursue 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 market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Statement 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.

Transactions in option contracts in the Covered Call & Equity Income Fund during the period ended April 30, 2015, were as follows:

                 
    Number of Contracts     Premiums Received  
Options outstanding, beginning of period   5,643       $1,197,123    
Options written during the period   11,647       2,733,092    
Options closed during the period   (4,379 )     (981,962 )  
Options exercised during the period   (3,132 )     (742,266 )  
Options expired during the period   (4,639 )     (965,160 )  
Options outstanding, end of period   5,140       $1,240,827    

 

7. FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS

Effective May 1, 2015, 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


70


Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | April 30, 2015

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. A futures contract may generally be described as an agreement between two parties to buy and sell particular financial instruments for an agreed price during a designated month (or to deliver the final cash settlement price, in the case of a contract relating to an index or otherwise not calling for physical delivery at the end of trading in the contract).

Options on Futures Contracts. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the 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, may invest in foreign securities; however, the Cash Reserves Fund is limited to U.S. dollar-denominated foreign money market 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 reclaim 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 Statement 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 Core Bond, High Income, Diversified Income, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap and International Stock Funds have entered into a Securities Lending Agreement (the “Agreement”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Funds may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in order to earn additional income. The Agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times by cash or other liquid assets at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities, which is determined on a daily basis. Amounts earned as interest on investments of cash collateral, net of rebates and fees, if any, are included in the Statement of Operations. The primary risk associated with securities lending is if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Funds could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral.

The Funds did not engage in any securities lending activity during the period ended April 30, 2015.

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, 2015. 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 2011 through 2014. The prior years of 2011 through 2013 represent the legacy MEMBERS Mutual Funds and the legacy Madison Mosaic Funds. Effective as of the market close of April 19, 2013, the Mosaic Funds reorganized into the Madison Funds (formerly known as the MEMBERS Mutual Funds).

For federal income tax purposes, the Funds listed below have capital loss carryovers as of October 31, 2014, which are available to offset future capital gains, if any, realized through the fiscal year listed:

                      No Expiration Date
Fund   2016   2017   2018   Short Term   Long Term
Cash Reserves   $  –   $  16   $  5   $  1   $  –
Diversified Income         464,665            
Mid Cap     2,489,386                
Small Cap     1,351,789

Hansberger International                              
Growth         49,306,213            

The capital loss carryovers for the Mid Cap Fund, Small Cap Fund, and Hansberger International are subject to certain limitations upon availability, to offset future gains, pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

At April 30, 2015, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for all securities, excluding options, as computed on a federal income tax basis for each Fund were as follows:

Madison Funds | Notes to the Financial Statements (unaudited) - continued | April 30, 2015

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

11. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

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 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 policy risk, which are the risks associated with the Federal Reserve System’s program to stabilize the economy (the “quantitative easing program”) in the wake of the financial crisis that began in 2007. As a result of the quantitative easing program, the United States is experiencing historically low interest rate levels. A low interest rate environment can pose risks to a Fund, because low yields on the Fund’s portfolio holdings may have an adverse impact on the Fund’s ability to provide a positive yield to its shareholders and pay expenses out of Fund assets. However, continued economic recovery and the cessation of the quantitative easing program increase the risk that interest rates will rise in the near future and that the Funds will face a heightened level of interest rate 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. Effective May 1, 2015, the Core Bond 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 Cash Reserves 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.

Effective May 1, 2015, 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: unanticipated changes in interest rates, securities prices or currency exchange rates 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 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. 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 and Target Date 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 and Target Date 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.

All of 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, the funds’ Subadvisers, 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.

In addition to the other risks described above 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, of course, 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 Underlying Funds”). A summary of the transactions with each Affiliated Underlying Fund during the period ended April 30, 2015 follows:

FUND EXPENSES PAID BY SHAREHOLDERS

As a shareholder 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, 2015. 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, and $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. Some of our comments in our letters to shareholders are based on current management expectations and are considered “forward-looking statements” and inherently subject to, among other things, risks, uncertainties and assumptions about the Funds and economic factors. Actual future results, however, could differ materially 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.
