Fund Description

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through diversified investments in a broad range of corporate debt securities, obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies, and money market instruments. In seeking to achieve the Fund’s goals, the Fund’s investment adviser, Madison Asset Management, LLC ("Madison"), will (1) shorten or lengthen the weighted average life 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 (including borrowings for investment purposes) 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. The dollar weighted average maturity of the Fund as of December 31, 2023 was 3.68 years. The Fund generally holds 50-75 individual securities in its portfolio at any given time. This reflects Madison's belief that your money should be invested in Madison’s top investment ideas, and that focusing on Madison's highest conviction investment ideas is the best way to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
Madison may alter the composition of the Fund with regard to quality and maturity and may sell securities prior to maturity. Under normal circumstances, however, turnover for the Fund is generally not expected to exceed 100%. Sales of fund securities may result in capital gains. This can occur any time Madison sells a bond at a price that was higher than the purchase price, even if Madison does not engage in active or frequent trading. Madison’s intent when it sells bonds is to “lock in” any gains already achieved by that investment or, alternatively, prevent additional or potential losses that could occur if Madison continued to hold the bond. Turnover may also occur when Madison finds an investment that could generate a higher return than the investment currently held. However, increasing portfolio turnover at a time when Madison’s assessment of market performance is incorrect could lower investment performance. The Fund pays implied brokerage commissions when it purchases or sells bonds, which is the difference between the bid and ask price. As a result, as portfolio turnover increases, the cumulative effect of this may hurt Fund performance. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will not engage in active or frequent trading of its bonds. However, it is possible that Madison will determine that market conditions require a significant change to the composition of the Fund’s portfolio. For example, if interest rates begin to rise, Madison may attempt to sell bonds in anticipation of further rate increases before they lose more value. Also, if the Fund experiences large swings in shareholder purchases and redemptions, Madison may be required to sell bonds more frequently in order to generate the cash needed to pay redeeming shareholders. Under these circumstances, the Fund could make a taxable capital gain distribution.
Madison reserves the right to invest a portion of the Fund’s assets in short-term debt securities (i.e., those with maturities of one year or less) and to maintain a portion of fund assets in uninvested cash. However, Madison does not intend to hold more than 35% of the Fund’s assets in such investments, unless Madison determines that market conditions warrant a temporary defensive investment position. Under such circumstances, up to 100% of the Fund may be so invested. To the extent the Fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished. Short-term investments may include investment grade certificates of deposit, commercial paper and repurchase agreements. Madison might hold substantial cash reserves in seeking to reduce the Fund’s exposure to bond price depreciation during a period of rising interest rates and to maintain desired liquidity while awaiting more attractive investment conditions in the bond market.
The Fund’s investment strategy reflects Madison’s general “Participate and Protect®” investment philosophy.  Madison’s expectation is that investors in the Fund will participate in market appreciation during bull markets and experience something less than full participation during bear markets compared with investors in portfolios holding more speculative and volatile securities; therefore, this investment philosophy is intended to represent a conservative investment strategy. There is no assurance that Madison’s expectations regarding this investment strategy will be realized.
