MGWAX Investment Objective and Strategy
Madison Large Cap Value Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Madison Funds.
Investment objective
The Madison Large Cap Value Fund seeks long-term capital growth, with income as a secondary consideration.
Principal investment strategy
"The fund will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in large cap stocks (generally, stocks with a market capitalization of the companies represented in the Russell 1000 Value Index -- as of the most recent reconstitution date, the low end of the range of market capitalizations included in this index was $1.84 billion). The fund follows what is known as a value approach, which generally means that the manager seeks 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 may also invest in warrants, convertible securities, preferred stocks and debt securities (including non-investment grade debt securities). The fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and emerging market securities, and may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs) that are registered investment companies. The fund generally holds 25-60 individual securities in its portfolio at any given time. This reflects the belief of the fund's investment adviser, Madison Asset Management, LLC (""Madison""), that your money should be invested in the advisers top investment ideas, and that focusing on the adviser's best investment ideas is the best way to achieve the funds investment objectives.
The fund typically sells a stock when the fundamental expectations for buying it no longer apply, the price exceeds its intrinsic value or other stocks appear more attractively priced relative to their intrinsic values. The funds investment strategy reflects Madison's general Participate and Protect investment philosophy. Madisons 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 Madisons expectations regarding this investment strategy will be realized. Although the fund expects to pursue its investment objective utilizing its principal investment strategies regardless of market conditions, the fund may invest up to 100% in money market instruments.
To the extent the fund engages in this temporary defensive position, the funds ability to achieve its investment objective may be diminished."
