1 Fund returns are calculated after fund expenses have been subtracted and assume that dividends and capital gains are reinvested in additional shares of a fund. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Further information relating to the fund’s performance is contained in the prospectus and at www.madisonfunds.com/funds/ultra-series-fund. The Fund’s past performance is not indicative of future performance. 2 The ICE BofA U.S. Corporate, Government & Mortgage Index is a broad-based measure of the total rate of return performance of the U.S. investment-grade bond markets. The index is a capitalization-weighted aggregation of outstanding U.S. treasury, agency and supranational mortgage pass-through, and investment-grade corporate bonds meeting specified selection criteria. 3 The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. 4 The Conservative Allocation Fund Custom Index consists of 65% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 24.5% Russell 3000® Index, and 10.5% MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index (net).

| Performance Narrative [Text Block] | The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the Fund’s investment results have varied from year to year. The table shows the Fund’s average annual total returns for one, five and ten year periods compared to a broad market index as well as a more narrowly tailored index. Neither the bar chart nor the table reflects charges deducted in connection with variable contracts. If these charges were reflected, returns would be less than those shown. The Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated performance information current to the most recent month-end is available at no cost by visiting www.ultraseriesfund.com or by calling 1-800-670-3600. |
