2 Table of Contents Contents To Our Holders of Units 1 3 Notes to Financial Statements 19 General Information 21

3 Pg. 01 To Our Holders of Units To Our Holders of Units Market highlights- Performance of the local economy during the period under review was underlined by the following indicators. a) Inflation - Consumer price index (CPI) inflation decelerated on the back of lower food- and non-food price growth over the first five months of the year. Specifically, headline CPI slowed by 0.2 percentage points to a current-year low of 6.8% y-o-y in June. b) Exchange rates-conservative monetary policy and the absence of high-profile external risk events underpinned kwacha stability during the first half of the year. With regard to external factors, the resumption of interest rate normalization on US soil delivered no surprises on account of clear and concise forward guidance by the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) in the lead-up to the March 15 announcement. On the domestic front, the positive real interest rate differential and improved foreign appetite for government debt securities supported sustained kwacha resilience notwithstanding further unwinding of tight liquidity conditions. The local currency remained stable during the first half and closed at ZMW9.14/$ on 30 June 2017, slightly lower than that the ZMW9.8972/$ recorded as at 31st December c) Money Markets- The benchmark yield curve bear-flattened over the past 18 months as high growth in consumer prices was counterweighed by robust long-term growth potential. Rapid disinflation on the back of substantial base effects and slower growth in monetary aggregates allowed for monetary policy easing, while improved kwacha resilience provided an attractive entry point for foreign investors. d) Capital Markets- Listed equity regained balance after a tumultuous year and posted a modest improvement in performance over the past 6 months, as global risk aversion and severe domestic stressors pummeled domestic equity last year and the outlook for corporate profitability deteriorated. The local equity bourse posted a modest improvement of 6.0% y-td by March 27, and gained 5.4% within the scope of one month. The LuSE All Share Index increased to 4, points at the end of June 2017 from 4, points at the end of March On a year-to-date basis the Index increased by 14.29%. Financial Highlights a) Investment return The Madison Unit Trust Funds experienced a mixed performance with generally debt funds performing better than the equity funds with returns ranging from 1% to 10% for the debt and balanced Funds mainly as a result of increased Investments in commercial papers. The equity dominated funds recorded modest positive gains a sign of recovery from the poor performance of the equities in the last 12 months. The property fund was fully occupied during the quarter and recorded a surplus after distribution. b) Investment Portfolio - The combined investment portfolio for the Madison Unit Trust Funds stood at ZMK 73 million before cash and cash equivalents as at June 2017 up by 17%

4 Pg. 02 To Our Holders of Units from the same period last year. This portfolio is invested in Local fixed term instruments such as Bonds,Fixed placements and commercial papers at 78%, Propety at 15%,Equities at 3% while Investments in various Collective investment schemes stood at 4% c) Economic Outlook- Over the medium term, it is projected that Zambia s growth will accelerate to above 3% p.a. as the infrastructural gap is closed, mining sector performance improves on the back of higher commodity prices, increased production capacity and enhanced policy transparency, while lower borrowing costs will encourage private sector consumption and investment. Looking Ahead-Madison Unit Trust remains a dynamic place to invest, Your Fund Managers are confident that the Fund is well positioned to take full advantage of the domestic and global economic outlook and that your Fund managers possess the skills and local market knowledge required to maximize the rewards of doing so effectively. In addition, the Collective Investment Scheme Markets can provide diversification benefit and may offer a degree of insulation from global volatility. In a world of subdued growth, shifting policies and where heightened political and macroeconomic uncertainty dominate market sentiment, the Fund Manager believe that the Fund has the ability to generate strong relative returns, complemented by a sustainable income stream, is a particularly attractive proposition for investors with a medium to long-term investment horizon.

21 Notes to Financial Statements Pg. 19 Notes to Financial Statements Financial Instrument Risks Investment Objective: Madison Unit Trust (the Fund) seeks to obtain a high level of income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in highquality, short-term debt securities, high performing local equities, high end commercial or residential properties and Mutual Funds. Investment Strategies: The term-to-maturity of the Funds Investments is adjusted based on the portfolio advisor s outlook for interest rates, and the allocation of assets by credit quality is based on the portfolio advisor s review of macroeconomic conditions both inside and outside of Zambia. Significant risks that are relevant to the Fund are discussed here. From time to time the Fund Manager reviews risk management policies. The following is the current position Cash flow, fair value and interest rate risks- The main risk faced by the Fund is interest rate risk. This is mitigated by a combination of factors primarily diversifying the fund s investments in order to achieve a staggered maturity profile and Care is taken to have a reliable projection of the direction of future interest Madison Unit Trust rates, and to anticipate as much as possible shifts in the general level of interest rates Credit risk management - With regard to credit risk, the Fund does not advance any loans. Default risk is managed by ensuring that the vast majority of investments are in placements with reputable institutions.

22 Pg. 20 Notes to Financial Statements Regulatory risk- Any risks associated with the reputation of the Fund are dealt with as soon as they are perceived.
