LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM
|
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Hooray!
Well, not exactly. Time to both check our emotions and hit the “reset button” on expectations.
“Hooray!” might seem like an appropriate response to 2013 calendar year returns. Six of our eleven Bridgeway Funds appreciated more than 40% in calendar year 2013. While we understand that positive feels better than negative and more feels better than less, we think it’s more complicated than that. The question we ask to evaluate our Funds is, “Did we perform in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and design parameters?” Let’s take a quick example: Ultra-Small Company Market Fund. It wasn’t our best performer, but a 50.91% annual return in 2013 commands attention and helps demonstrate our point. The design of the Fund? According to our prospectus, it’s capital appreciation. . . we seek to provide a long-term total return on capital, primarily through capital appreciation, by approximating the total return of our primary benchmark of ultra-small companies over longer time periods. In 2013, the primary market benchmark [more on page 23] was up 48.45%. Four important points: first, over the long term, since 1925, this highly volatile, risky index has returned 13.48% per year (a few percentage points per year better than the S&P 500 Index of large stocks). That’s in the ballpark of what we might anticipate over the very long term — nothing like 50%. Second, to achieve a long term annual return in the low double digits with some years above 50% means that quite a few negative annual returns will be included in the mix. As a matter of fact, 35.2% of all years have been negative index years since 1925. In 2008, the return was down 47.40%. Since we don’t know what any future year will look like and since we don’t believe in market timing, when we have a year like 2013, one way we think of it is “we just banked a cushion against the next downturn.” Third, back to design: due to the difference in turnover between the index and the Fund, we won’t hit the exact index return number in any year — in fact, in any one year we may under- or outperform it substantially. The bottom line: we performed in line with our Fund’s design in 2013. Good job. We’d say the same thing if our index were down 30% and we underperformed slightly. It’s important to understand the investment objective and design of any fund. Ultra-Small Company Market Fund is a high octane, volatile, but nice diversifier of other funds for the right investor. Fourth, let’s pause and hit the reset button.
All corners of the domestic equity markets performed very positively during the latest quarter and last twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The Bridgeway Funds performed within design expectations, guided by our statistically driven, evidence-based investment approach. Please see the enclosed letters for a detailed explanation of each Fund’s performance during the quarter and calendar year. We hope you find them helpful.
Our newest Bridgeway Partner, Dr. Andrew Berkin, is a published expert on tax efficiency. He points out on page 2 that we just passed a very notable milestone in the economic history of our nation: 100 years of tax code. Andy commemorates this event for Bridgeway shareholders by noting five techniques to improve tax efficiency.
Our Chief Investment Officer and founder, John Montgomery, recently attended a course in behavioral finance at Harvard University. His section on page 4 starts, “Wouldn’t it be great if you knew when the market was going to go up or down?”
Bridgeway Partner, Monika Henderson, took part in an event for community transformational change with her children and other Partners at Bridgeway’s annual corporate retreat. See Monika’s insights on page 6.
As always, we appreciate your feedback. We take your comments very seriously and regularly discuss them internally to help in managing our Funds. Please keep your ideas coming — both favorable and critical. They provide us with a vital tool, helping us to serve you better.
Sincerely,
Your Investment Management Team

Market Review
The Short Version: Domestic equity markets rose in the fourth quarter of 2013, capping one of the best years for stocks since 1995. The quarter ended with the S&P 500 Index up 10.5% and the Dow up 10.2%. For the year, the S&P 500 Index and Dow were up 32.4% and 29.7%, respectively.
Returns across U.S. equity style boxes, as defined by Morningstar, were strong across all styles for the quarter. Large-cap growth stocks led the way, up 11.20%, while mid-cap growth stocks were the laggard, up 6.79%. During the quarter, value slightly outperformed growth, and large-cap stocks were favored over small-cap stocks.
Sector performance for the S&P 500 Index was strong in the fourth quarter. Six out of ten sectors ended the quarter with double-digit returns. Industrials led the way, gaining approximately 13.5%, followed closely by Information Technology, up over 13%, and Consumer Discretionary, up almost 11%. Consumer Staples (up 9%), Energy (up 8%), Telecommunication Services (up 5%), and Utilities (up 3%) were the laggards and the only four sectors not posting double-digit returns.
Following are the stock market “style box” returns from Morningstar for the quarter and year:
100 Years of Tax Efficiency
As 2013 draws to a close, those of us who care about tax efficiency (and that should be about everyone with a taxable account) should note an important anniversary. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, and with it the inauguration of regular income tax in the United States. This year also most assuredly marks the 100th anniversary of investors seeking greater tax efficiency.
The top tax rate in 1913 was 7% - low by today’s standards but obviously a shock to those used to paying nothing. Before getting too nostalgic, however, that top tax rate rose to 77% in 1917 to help pay for World War I. As the chart below shows, top tax rates have fluctuated widely over the past 100 years from the initial low of 7% to a high of 94% in 1944-5. By historical standards, today’s tax rates are rather moderate.

LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued)

Whether rates are high or low, people have always sought to reduce their taxes. While some methods have been dubious or illegal, perfectly standard, well-established techniques exist to reduce tax payments. Judge Learned Hand, widely regarded as the most quoted judicial philosopher of the 20th century, once noted that “...there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible...” Indeed, one could argue that many of the provisions of the tax code are there to encourage people to make beneficial decisions. These include incentives to save for retirement, health care and education and thus lessen poverty and reliance on the government, to own a home and create social stability, and to be a long-term investor and help grow business and the economy.
To commemorate 100 years of tax efficiency, some of these common techniques are discussed below. Many of these are well known to both financial advisors and their clients, but listing them provides a reminder of their existence and importance. Much of investing is filled with uncertainty, but taxes are one aspect where an investor has greater control. Utilizing tax-efficient techniques helps keep the overall cost of investing down and leaves more wealth from which to grow and benefit.
1. Utilize tax-advantaged accounts. As previously noted, the tax code provides for tax-advantaged accounts for purposes such as saving for retirement, health care and education. Some of these, such as 401(k) retirement plans, are funded with pre-tax dollars, and taxes are paid at withdrawal. Other plans are funded with after-tax dollars, but no tax is paid upon withdrawal. Generally, the investments grow tax-free.
2. Implement asset location. Investors will generally have money in different accounts, some taxable and others tax advantaged. Rather than holding the same allocation across accounts, locate assets in a tax efficient manner. This often means placing less tax-efficient investments — such as fixed income where the interest payments are taxed at ordinary income rates — in tax-advantaged accounts. More tax-efficient investments, such as low turnover equities, should be considered for taxable accounts. Tax rates now and in the future do matter. For example, placing those equities in a tax-deferred account — perhaps a regular IRA — can also mean they will be taxed at potentially higher income rates upon withdrawal, whereas they would be taxed at lower long-term capital gain rates if held in a taxable account.
3. Consider Roth conversions. The tax code now allows all investors to convert regular IRAs to Roth IRAs. Tax must be paid on the amount converted, but that money is then withdrawn tax-free in retirement. Such conversions may make sense for investors who expect to be in a higher income bracket in retirement. By paying those taxes with money from outside the IRA, the amount of money growing tax-free effectively increases. A big advantage can occur by doing the conversion at the beginning of the year and then waiting until taxes are filed to decide whether to keep the conversion or recharacterize it back to a regular IRA. Because taxes are due on the amount that was converted, if the account has appreciated notably,
3 | Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued)
|
then taxes are being paid on a lower amount than the IRA is currently worth. If the IRA has declined in value or appreciated only modestly, then it can be recharacterized and the process repeated the following year.
4. Avoid realizing gains. One of the simplest ways to minimize taxes is to avoid realizing gains, as taxes aren’t triggered until a position is sold. By waiting at least a year, short-term capital gains become long-term and are taxed at a lower rate. But delaying gains even longer effectively acts as an interest-free loan from the government. The money not being paid in taxes continues to remain invested. If a portfolio is held until death, then taxes may be avoided altogether, as heirs receive a tax-free step-up in cost basis. Gifting appreciated positions to charity can avoid realizing gains as well. It is important not to let tax considerations overwhelm other decisions, such as desired asset allocation. When positions do need to be trimmed, use tax lot accounting to identify the most tax-efficient lots to be sold.
5. Actively harvest losses. While investors don’t want their holdings to go down, a well-diversified portfolio will typically include some positions that are at a loss. Realizing those losses by selling the positions enhances after-tax returns, as the losses can be offset against realized gains. Excess losses can even help reduce taxable income by up to $3,000 each year. Investors do need to be careful of wash sales, however, as repurchasing a substantially similar security within a 30-day window around the sale invalidates the loss. One study* found that loss harvesting leads to a median of 27% higher final portfolio value after 25 years. The benefits of loss harvesting work well in a wide variety of market conditions**. Opportunities for loss harvesting should be monitored year-round and not just at year end, and should be considered on a lot-by-lot basis.
The aforementioned techniques are common, but can contain some subtleties. Considerations such as the investor’s specific current and future tax rates, retirement plans and cash flows all matter. Tax-efficient investing is a critical part of an overall financial plan and needs to be considered in the context of the plan’s other elements. Investor circumstances, portfolio positioning and tax laws all can change and thus need to be monitored. By doing so, implementing tax-efficient solutions can be quite rewarding and should be an important element of every investment decision.

Valuing Markets with the CAPE Ratio
The Short Version: The financial media has given a lot of coverage to the concept of timing the market using Robert Shiller’s “CAPE ratio.” As a statistic, we think the CAPE ratio is interesting but it has a number of shortcomings. More importantly, we think the activity of market timing is fraught with severe risk.
Wouldn’t it be great if you knew when the market was going to go up or down?
One statistical measure of overall market valuation, the Shiller Cyclically Adjusted Price to Earnings ratio (“CAPE” ratio) is getting a lot of play in the financial press as “the single best forecaster of long-term future stock returns.” Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller first published information on the CAPE ratio in 1998 (Robert Shiller, “Valuation Ratios and the Long-Run Stock Market Outlook”). Based on backtesting this ratio to 1871, CAPE has an impressive record. The statistical nature of this forecasting tool has some appeal to statistically focused investment managers such as Bridgeway. So what does Bridgeway think about it?
Plus: Bridgeway’s investment management team likes the concept of valuation — buying stocks at a discount to some measure of a company’s actual worth. Price-to-earnings is among a handful of valuation metrics shown to statistically distinguish cheaper companies from more expensive companies based on long-term price appreciation. However, applying that concept to a whole asset class on an absolute basis rather than to a cross-section of many companies at one point in time may be a bit of a stretch.

LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued)
|
Minus: While a proven and valid measure of valuation, earnings do have some disadvantages. First, they can be manipulated by management. Second, since accounting standards change over time, a dollar of earnings in 1880 may not mean the same thing as a dollar of earnings in 1990 or in 2014.
Plus: We like the fact that Shiller smoothes earnings across a decade and that the specific calculation takes inflation into consideration.
Minus: We agree with Jeremy Siegel’s critique (“The Shiller CAPE Ratio: A New Look,” presented at the Q Group, October 2013) that significant changes in U.S. accounting standards have resulted in inconsistent corporate earnings estimates over the last decade and a half. Siegel’s analysis doesn’t just stop with criticism, however; he proposes some adjustments and an alternative data set that we believe represent an improvement over the basic CAPE ratio. But . . . it introduces some new problems of its own.
Neutral: Robert Shiller was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2013. He is a very smart man. But the task of timing the market is a very difficult task. In a Wall Street Journal article (October 20, 2013) published immediately after learning he had received the Nobel Prize, Dr. Shiller said, “I’m just naturally skeptical of people who look impressive.” We think humility in research is extremely important and are even more impressed with Dr. Shiller for this reason. But we still remain skeptical of CAPE, even with his amazing credentials.
What the numbers are telling us: based on historical ranges of the last century and a half, as of December 31, 2013, the CAPE ratio indicates that the stock market is expensive. Using Siegel’s methodology, the stock market is in a “fairly valued” range. What is one to do?
The record of actual CAPE ratio: CAPE has been remarkably effective at predicting the 10-year forward pricing of the stock market from 1871 through today. But the only person we know who has been using the CAPE ratio in real time over the last decade and a half says, “you should think of the CAPE ratio as getting you within a year or two of the actual peak or bottom; don’t think you’ll be getting it right year to year.” The CAPE ratio was never intended to be a short-term indicator of market movements. Recently, however, it seems that people are using it this way. Then there’s the record of Dr. Shiller himself. The CAPE ratio first gained attention when the authors delivered a paper to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on December 3, 1996, warning that stock prices were running well ahead of earnings, according to Jeremy Siegel. The “sell signal,” if you could call it that, was more than three years early. From December 3, 1996 through the market peak on September 1, 2000, the S&P 500 Index (with dividends reinvested) appreciated 114.71%. In spite of the market rout from 2000 through 2002, the S&P 500 Index has never again touched the December 1996 level, adjusting for dividends. More recently, on May 17, 2011, Shiller stated, “Equity returns will be disappointing over the next decade.” From that date through December 31, 2013, two and a half years later, the S&P 500 Index total return is up 47.3% (15.9% annualized). The decade is far from over yet, but the market will have to fall a long way before the decade he refers to is disappointing. We’ll see, but it causes one to pause.
The bottom line: we believe the basic CAPE ratio is fraught with significant problems. As Jeremy Siegel states, a significant one is with the consistency of data across time, especially due to changes in accounting standards. Even more problematic for us at Bridgeway is the concept of fishing in a bad pond. Bridgeway’s investment management team likes to ask the question, “Is the pond we are fishing in a good one based on history and one’s investment objective?” For example, small-value stocks have done well relative to the broader market over many decades, and may be appropriate for a portion of an investor’s total asset allocation plan. Thus, we would say small value stocks are “a good pond” for an investor with a high risk tolerance or an investor using small value stocks for diversification on the periphery of a well-diversified portfolio. At the other end of the spectrum, initial public offerings tend to underperform the broader market from the opening on the first day of trading. We would say, “the IPO pond is a bad one to fish in.” It doesn’t necessarily mean there aren’t some good fish in the pond, but it may be dangerous to fish there. We think the “market timing pond” is a very bad pond in which to go fishing. Does it mean market timing can’t be done? Not necessarily. But the overall results of many professionals who have tried to do so are abysmal. With this kind of risk, we have to ask, “Even with some promising statistics, is market timing of any kind worth the risk?”
What is that risk? The risk is that the market appreciates very substantially while you’re waiting on the sidelines in cash. Or even worse, that you get whipsawed and end up out of the market as it’s going up, only to reinvest just before it declines. Unlike market risk (historically, if the market goes down, it will bounce back if you are able to wait long enough), market-timing risk can be one-directional (when you lose money, you have a good probability of never getting it back). We believe this is a
5 | Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued)
|
very serious risk. We think the statistics are saying, “The market is either somewhat expensive or it’s not.” But rest assured that that’s not the kind of thinking that drives any of the investment decisions we make at Bridgeway on behalf of fund shareholders.

Throughout all of our service projects, I have had wonderful experiences and have met some amazing people. As a result, I know my life is richer, and I am so grateful for these opportunities.
Bridgeway’s last service project was with the Houston Food Bank. It was very special to me, as I had an opportunity to share the experience with my two children. The Houston Food Bank, from its 308,000 square-foot warehouse, feeds 137,000 people each week by delivering food to 600 hunger relief agencies in 18 Texas counties.
My daughter joined me and other Bridgeway Partners one very early Saturday morning, which is not easy for a typical teenager. After our orientation, we were taken to a giant factory-type room filled with hundreds of other volunteers. Our job was to sort different types of boxed foods as they haphazardly zoomed by on a conveyer belt. I felt like Lucy in the “I Love Lucy” episode when Lucy and Ethel were working in the chocolate factory. As I was sifting through all of the food, I looked to my right and saw my daughter with a big smile, moving at a speed I had never seen before. She enjoyed the experience so much that she convinced her younger brother and a friend to join us for the Food Bank’s Friday Family Night. This time our job was to pack “Backpack Buddy” weekend bags for children. Once again, I was pleasantly surprised to see my son packing the bags without any complaints in a speedy manner with such joy on his face.
The next morning, I offered my kids the choice of bagels, pancakes or an omelet. They both looked at me with sad eyes and my son said, “The kids we helped yesterday got only two small boxes of milk, a bag of cereal, two granola bars, two cans of peaches, one can of corn and one can of beef stew for the whole weekend, and they will have to share their food with their family. We are so fortunate to have all this food. We need to go back and do more for them.”
Bridgeway not only has created many opportunities for me to be a better person, but it’s also helping to create the next generation of givers and volunteers.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) |
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Aggressive Investors 1 Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, our Fund appreciated 11.68%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+10.51%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index (+10.15%), and the Russell 2000 Index (+8.72%). It was a quarter without correlation spikes. Low to mid correlations in stocks are the historical norm, indicating that stock prices are moving based on individual company fundamentals. It is an environment that is favorable to our investment process, particularly to this Fund. We are pleased with the results.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2013, our Fund returned 20.65%, easily outpacing our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+16.31%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index (+19.67%), and the Russell 2000 Index (+19.82%). It was a solid six months of relatively low correlation markets, and we performed well on an absolute and relative basis.
For the calendar year, our Fund returned 42.21%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+32.39%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index (+34.05%), and the Russell 2000 Index (+38.82%). Thanks to an extraordinary year in 2013, we made up a lot of lost ground that was due to the unprecedented high correlation spikes of 2008, 2010, and 2011, as described in our previous shareholder letters. Looking forward, we would expect to experience more periods without high correlation spikes and to navigate spikes with less negative effects, since our model calibration period includes a number of these spikes.
The table below presents our December quarter, six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year, fifteen-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

Performance figures quoted in the table above represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Total return figures in the table above include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions, based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks with dividends reinvested. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index that measures performance of the 2,000 companies that are between the 1,000th and 3,000th largest in the market with dividends reinvested. The Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index reflects the record of the 30 largest funds in the category of more aggressive domestic growth mutual funds, as reported by Lipper, Inc. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.
According to data from Lipper, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, Aggressive Investors 1 Fund ranked 32nd of 262 capital appreciation funds for the twelve months ending December 31, 2013, 144th of 221 over the last five years, 134th of 156 over the last ten years, and 2nd of 49 since inception in August, 1994. Lipper, Inc. is an independent mutual fund rating service that ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.

Aggressive Investors 1 Fund vs. S&P 500 Index, Russell 2000 Index & Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index
from Inception 8/5/94 to 12/31/13
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Short Version: The low correlation market was favorable to a majority of our stock selection models, specifically our value category of models.
Stocks selected by our value category of models were the best performers in the quarter, returning approximately 21% on average. In fact, four of our value holdings returned more than 30%. Higher exposure to momentum stocks resulted in a modest contribution to performance as well.
The Fund was slightly overweighted in the best performing sectors for the quarter, Information Technology and Industrials. Despite underweighting in the Energy sector, holdings within the sector added to the Fund’s strong performance.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Short Version: For the calendar year, we outperformed our primary benchmark by 9.82%. Our current positioning, favoring smaller size and higher beta (market risk) companies, helped in the market environment of the calendar year.
Smaller market cap design accounted for about one third of outperformance for the calendar year. The Fund owned significantly more of the stronger performing, smaller cap names than the benchmark. Only one percent of assets were invested in the largest ten percent of names in the S&P 500 Index, which was the worst performing decile for the year. This was a “risk-on” year, which meant that higher beta stocks outperformed lower beta stocks. Our stronger weighting toward higher beta stocks helped. Stock selection in the Consumer Staples and Information Technology sectors also contributed to performance.

Disclaimer
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2013, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly affect short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in the small companies within this multi-cap fund generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. The Fund’s use of options, futures, and leverage can magnify the risk of loss in an unfavorable market, and the Fund’s use of short-sale positions can, in theory, expose shareholders to unlimited loss. Finally, the Fund exposes shareholders to “focus risk,” which may add to Fund volatility through the possibility that a single company could significantly affect total return. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) |
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Ultra-Small Company Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, our Fund appreciated 9.30%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index (+9.97%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Micro-Cap Stock Funds Index (+10.26%), and the Russell 2000 Index (+10.26%). Our Fund outperformed the Russell Microcap Index (+8.72%). It was a poor quarter on a relative basis.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2013, our Fund returned 20.08%, underperforming our primary benchmark, the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index (+23.02%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Micro-Cap Stock Funds Index (+22.32%), and the Russell 2000 Index (+23.07%). Our Fund outperformed the Russell Microcap Index (+19.82%).
For the calendar year, our Fund was up 55.77%, outperforming all of our benchmarks. It feels good to have a clean sweep for the calendar year and since inception.
The table below presents our December quarter, six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year, fifteen-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

Ultra-Small Company Fund vs. CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index, Russell Microcap Index**, Russell 2000 Index & Lipper Micro-Cap Stock Funds Index* from Inception 7/31/94 to 12/31/13
* | The Lipper Micro-Cap Stock Funds Index began on 12/31/1995, and the line graph for the Index begins at the same value as the Fund on that date. |
** | The Russell Microcap Index began on 6/30/2000, and the line graph for the Index begins at the same value as the Fund on that date. |
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Short Version: The Fund’s current weighting of deeper value stocks hurt performance for the quarter.
Design features of the Fund, such as our overweighting of value stocks, hurt the Fund’s performance for the quarter. Additionally, holdings within the Health Care sector detracted from relative performance.
A primary determinant of our performance relative to most other Funds has to do with the size of the companies in which we invest. Our investment strategy is to approximate the long-term returns of the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index of ultra-small companies by investing in a representative sample of ultra-small stocks. As shown in the table on the next page, smaller companies (particularly those in the 9th and 10th decile) and the largest companies (those in the 1st decile) shined in a strong performing quarter.

Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Short Version: Greater exposure to value stocks coupled with strong broad sector performance contributed to an exceptional year.
Strong relative performance, particularly in the Industrial and Energy sectors, played a large part in the Fund handily beating the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index for the calendar year. The Fund was underexposed to the relatively poor performing Financials sector, helping the Fund’s relative performance. Additionally, the Fund’s Financials sector holdings outperformed those of the primary market benchmark.

The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2013, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
The Fund is subject to very high, above market risk (volatility) and is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in ultra-small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies and even “small companies” for various reasons, such as narrower markets (fewer investors), limited financial resources and greater trading difficulty.
Conclusion
Ultra-Small Company Fund remains closed to new investors. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,

Ultra-Small Company Market Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) |
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Ultra-Small Company Market Fund Shareholder,

Ultra-Small Company Market Fund vs. CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index, Russell Microcap Index*,
Russell 2000 Index & Lipper Micro-Cap Stock Funds Index from Inception 7/31/97 to 12/31/13
* | The Russell Microcap Index began on 6/30/2000, and the line graph for the Index begins at the same value as the Fund on that date. |
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance:
The Short Version: Though more than 80% of our Fund is comprised of ultra-small stocks, we don’t automatically sell them as they appreciate to a higher size range, which helped performance for the quarter.
Nearly 85% of our Fund is currently comprised of ultra-small companies, those the size of companies found in our primary market benchmark. In order to keep Fund turnover low, the Fund’s adviser does not sell a stock immediately when it outgrows the CRSP 10 (ultra-small) size threshold. The resultant size differential added 0.11% to the Fund’s return for the quarter. Our sidestepping models, which seek to avoid up to ten percent of the universe of ultra-small stocks that may go bankrupt or plummet precipitously, also performed favorably.
A primary determinant of our performance relative to most other Funds has to do with the size of the companies in which we invest. Our investment strategy is to approximate the long-term returns of the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index of ultra-small companies by investing in a representative sample of ultra-small stocks.
As shown in the table on the next page, smaller companies (particularly those in the 9th and 10th decile) and the largest companies (those in the 1st decile) shined in a strong performing quarter.

Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Short Version: 2013 was the Fund’s second highest return for a calendar year since inception.
CRSP 10 stocks had a very strong run for the year overall. Historically, we have outperformed our primary market in all down years, but outperformed in less than half of the up market years. Not only did we outperform our primary benchmark, but this was the second highest return for a calendar year since inception. Our strategy of avoiding a relatively small percentage of stocks that can be very damaging in downturns, as well as our strategy of not immediately selling stocks that outgrow the CRSP 10 size of ultra-small stocks, added to our performance for the calendar year.

Disclaimer
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2013, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
The Fund is subject to very high, above market risk (volatility) and is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in ultra-small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies and even “small companies,” for various reasons, such as narrower markets (fewer investors), limited financial resources and greater trading difficulty.
Conclusion
Thank you for your continued investment in Ultra-Small Company Market Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | ||
(Unaudited) |
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Momentum Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, our Fund appreciated 8.91%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (+8.72%). We are pleased with the results on an absolute and relative basis.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period, our Fund was up 19.19%, trailing the Russell 2000 Index (+19.82%). While it was a good six months in absolute terms, we are disappointed with our relative returns.
For the calendar year, our Fund appreciated 37.07%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Index (+38.82%).
The table below presents our December quarter, six-month, one-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

Performance figures quoted in the table above represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Total return figures in the table above include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index that measures performance of the 2,000 companies that are between the 1,000th and 3,000th largest in the market with dividends reinvested. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.
According to data from Lipper, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, Small-Cap Momentum Fund ranked 365th of 718 small-cap core funds for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 and 259th of 625 such funds since inception in May, 2010. Lipper, Inc. is an independent mutual fund rating service that ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.

Small-Cap Momentum Fund vs. Russell 2000 Index
from Inception 5/31/10 to 12/31/13
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Short Version: Price momentum helped relative returns for the quarter.
The Fund’s performance for the quarter was in line with its design objective. Our exposure to price momentum had a modest effect in an upward trending market. Sector weighting differences between the Fund and our primary market benchmark were minor, however, holdings within the Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary sectors positively contributed to performance.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Short Version: Price momentum was a plus in the 2013 calendar year. However, the lower risk stocks associated with our risk adjustment strategy had a negative impact in a year that favored high risk.
The Fund performed in line with its design objective for the 2013 calendar year. Our exposure to price momentum helped in an upward trending market. However, the risk-adjustment overlay which leads the fund into less volatile stocks during volatile periods of the market, ended up hurting the Fund. Overweighting and holdings in the high performing Consumer Discretionary sector helped our relative return. Holdings in the Information Technology and Health Care sectors hurt the Fund’s relative performance for the year.

The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of December 31, 2013, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and are not indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly impact short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) |
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Growth Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, our Fund appreciated 6.11%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (+8.17%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (+7.82%). It was a poor quarter on a relative basis.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2013, our Fund was up 19.52%, trailing our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (+22.02%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (+21.69%).
For the calendar year, our Fund appreciated 48.52%, beating the Russell 2000 Growth Index (+43.30%), and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (+40.99%). It was a good year for the Fund, but we are still lagging in the longer five-year, ten-year, and inception-to-date periods.
The table below presents our December quarter, six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

(Unaudited)
Small-Cap Growth Fund vs. Russell 2000 Growth Index & Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index
from Inception 10/31/03 to 12/31/13
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Short Version: Our value themed models performed poorly for the quarter inside the growth stock universe of the Fund. Stock selection in the Healthcare and Consumer Discretionary sectors hurt relative returns the most.
Stocks selected by the diversifying value themed models, comprising approximately 25% of the Fund’s net assets, underperformed for the quarter with an average return of 3.1% versus the Russell 2000 Growth Index’s return of 8.2%. Overexposure to volatile stocks weighed down relative returns by approximately one percent. Holdings in the Healthcare and Consumer Discretionary sectors also negatively impacted the Fund.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Short Version: A higher concentration of stocks with a smaller market-cap relative to the benchmark contributed to the Fund’s outperformance for the calendar year.
The Fund’s representation in smaller stocks relative to the benchmark contributed to the Fund’s outperformance for the calendar year. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Industrial sectors was stellar in conjunction with higher weightings in these sectors relative to the benchmark. Seven of the top ten stocks that contributed to return came from the Consumer Discretionary and Industrial sectors.

Disclaimer
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2013, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly impact short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) |
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, our Fund appreciated 10.39%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (+9.30%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index (+9.75%). We are pleased with the results on an absolute and relative basis.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2013, our Fund returned 17.17%, trailing our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (+17.60%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index (+18.55%).
For the calendar year, our Fund appreciated 39.72%, beating the Russell 2000 Value Index (+34.52%), and the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index (+35.26%). We are now leading our primary market benchmark in the long five- and ten-year periods, but are still lagging our peer benchmark in the ten-year and inception-to-date periods.
The table below presents our December quarter, six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

Small-Cap Value Fund vs. Russell 2000 Value Index & Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index
from Inception 10/31/03 to 12/31/13
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Short Version: Exposure to deeper value stocks contributed to the Fund’s outperformance for the quarter.
Our exposure to deeper value stocks positively affected our performance. While the Fund’s sector allocation was closely aligned with that of our primary market benchmark, holdings within the Industrial and Financial sectors helped performance, accounting for over half the Fund’s outperformance. Five of the top ten stocks that contributed to returns came from those sectors.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Short Version: Exposure to deeper value stocks contributed to the Fund’s outperformance for the calendar year.
Consumer Discretionary and Industrial sector holdings were strong performers for the calendar year. Nine of the top ten stocks that contributed to returns came from those sectors. In addition, greater exposure to deeper value stocks played a role in the Fund’s outperformance for the calendar year, contributing 2.6% to relative return.

Disclaimer
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2013, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly impact short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) |
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Large-Cap Growth Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, our Fund appreciated 9.36%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+10.44%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index (+10.74%). It was a poor quarter on a relative basis.
For the six month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2013, our Fund was up 18.96%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+19.39%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index (+22.90%).
For the calendar year, our Fund was up 37.19%, beating our primary market benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+33.48%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index (+35.41%). It was a good year for the Fund on an absolute and relative basis, but we are still making up ground in the longer five-year, ten-year, and inception-to-date periods for particularly poor performance in 2008.
The table below presents our December quarter, six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

(Unaudited)
Large-Cap Growth Fund vs. Russell 1000 Growth Index & Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index
from Inception 10/31/03 to 12/31/13
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Short Version: Less exposure to mega-cap stocks hurt relative returns for the quarter.
The Fund’s non-market cap weighted design, which gives us more exposure to large companies at the middle and smaller end of the size spectrum, hurt relative returns versus the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Overexposure to volatile stocks also weighed down relative returns by slightly less than one percent. While the Fund’s sector allocation was closely aligned with that of our primary market benchmark, holdings within the Health Care and Information Technology sectors hurt performance, accounting for over one percent of the Fund’s relative underperformance.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Short Version: Strong performance in the first half of the year more than made up for underperformance in the fourth quarter.
The Fund’s non-market cap weighted design significantly helped for the calendar year. Specifically, a higher weighting of smaller Russell 1000 Growth Index stocks proved to be particularly beneficial. Strong stock selection also contributed to the Fund’s positive performance, with stellar holdings in the Information Technology sector. Three of the top five stocks that contributed to returns came from this sector.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | ||
(Unaudited) |
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Blue Chip 35 Index Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, our Fund appreciated 11.19%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+10.51%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (+7.90%). Our Fund underperformed the Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index (+11.48%). We are pleased with the results relative to our primary market benchmark.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2013, our Fund returned 14.09%, trailing our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+16.31%), and our peer benchmark, the Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index (+15.39%). Our Fund beat the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (+13.99%).
For the calendar year, our Fund was up 31.67%, trailing our primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+32.39%), and outperforming our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (+26.26%), and the Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index (29.16%).
The table below presents our December quarter, six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year, fifteen-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

Performance figures quoted in the table above represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Total return figures in the table above include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions, based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks with dividends reinvested. The Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index measures the performance of the largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index. It includes 50 of the largest securities, based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership, and represents approximately 40% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The Bridgeway Ultra-Large 35 Index is an index comprised of very large, “blue chip” U.S. stocks, excluding tobacco; it is compiled by the adviser of the Fund. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index reflects the aggregate record of domestic large-cap core mutual funds as reported by Lipper, Inc. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.
According to data from Lipper, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, Blue-Chip 35 Index Fund ranked 475th of 918 large-cap core funds for the twelve months ending December 31, 2013, 345th of 764 over the last five years, 340th of 516 over the last ten years, and 48th of 198 since inception in July, 1997. Lipper, Inc. is an independent mutual fund rating service that ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.

Blue Chip 35 Index Fund vs. S&P 500 Index, Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index*, Bridgeway Ultra-Large 35 Index & Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index from Inception 7/31/97 to 12/31/13
* | The Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index began on 12/31/2001, and the line graph for the Index begins at the same value as the Fund on that date. |
Quarterly and Calendar Year Performance by Company Size:
“Blue Chip” investing means large, stable and safe, which proved to be true in the bull market of the December quarter. The Fund’s larger market cap size helped relative performance by favoring the largest — and this quarter — best performing decile. Additionally, the Fund was overweighted in the strong performing Information Technology stocks and underweighted in the lagging Utilities stocks, thus positively contributing to relative performance.
Out of four quarters for the 2013 calendar year, the first three were strong small-cap periods. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index in the small-cap driven first half of the year due to the equal-cap weighting of the strategy, resulting in “value-like” rebalancing by adding to lagging positions. For example, additions to our Hewlett Packard position at the end of 2012 and the stock’s tremendous performance in the first quarter of 2013, served to demonstrate the result of this aspect of the Fund’s design (Hewlett Packard was up 68% and added more than one percent to relative performance for the quarter). The third quarter was the most challenging quarter, with the Russell 2000 Index beating the Russell 1000 Index by four percent. The Fund lagged by 2.6%, as several design features were out of favor (larger market cap size hurt, low beta hurt, and low volatility hurt). The December quarter was the only quarter where ultra-large stocks outperformed the market and the size factor positively impacted the Fund’s performance. The Fund slightly outperformed and reduced relative underperformance to a small variance of less than one percent. In summary, our Fund demonstrated its design characteristics well in 2013, and it underperformed by a much smaller amount than one might expect in a dramatically small- and mid-company size driven market. Our strong performance versus the Russell Top 50 Index also demonstrates favorable performance in a relatively unfavorable environment.
In addition to quarterly rebalancing and in accordance with Bridgeway research of data that spans decades, we recomposed the Fund to maintain the desired exposure to ultra-large companies. This update moved the Fund closer to the market from an economic sector standpoint, and we expect the portfolio to move slightly towards core from a style perspective.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) |
December 31, 2013
Dear Fellow Managed Volatility Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, Managed Volatility Fund returned 2.74%, compared to our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+10.51%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (+5.48%), and the fixed-income only Bloomberg/ EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (+0.04%). It was an up quarter for the broad stock market, but a poor one for shorter term fixed-income securities. While we performed well versus the Fund’s fixed-income benchmark, we did not capture 40% of the S&P 500 Index, capturing only 26% of the upside. Our performance is in line with design over shorter periods of time, and our risk profile remains at or below 40% of the S&P 500 Index. It was an “OK” quarter.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2013, our Fund was up 4.11%, trailing our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+16.31%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (+10.31%), but beating the fixed-income only Bloomberg/ EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (+0.38%).
For the calendar year, our Fund returned 9.25%, trailing the S&P 500 Index (+32.39%). We also trailed the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (+16.39%), but beat the fixed-income only Bloomberg/ EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (+0.36%). We captured only 29% of the S&P 500 Index upside versus our goal of 40%. While this performance is somewhat disappointing, it is in line with the Fund’s design in a very strong bull market environment. In addition, given our low volatility we are pleased with our performance in a year where we were up over 9%, which is the third best calendar year in our twelve-year history.
The table below presents our December quarter, six-month, one-year, five-year, ten-year and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

Performance figures quoted in the table above represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Total return figures in the table above include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions, based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks with dividends reinvested. The Bloomberg/ EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 year Total Return Bond Index is a transparent benchmark for the total return of the 1-3 year U.S. Government bond market. The Lipper Balanced Funds Index is an index of balanced funds compiled by Lipper, Inc. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.
According to data from Lipper, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, the Managed Volatility Fund ranked 471st of 533 mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds for the calendar year ended December 31, 2013, 397th of 398 over the past five years, 233rd of 251 over the last ten years, and 150th of 174 funds since inception in June, 2001. Lipper, Inc. is an independent mutual fund rating service that ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.

Managed Volatility Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) |
According to data from Morningstar as of December 31, 2013, the Managed Volatility Fund ranked 177th of 241 long-short funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, 49th out of 75 funds over the past five years, and 20th out of 26 funds over the last ten years. Morningstar ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.
Managed Volatility Fund vs. S&P 500 Index, Bloomberg/EFFAS Bond Index & Lipper Balanced Funds Index
from Inception 6/30/01 to 12/31/13
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Short Version: Performance was driven by equities on the upside and offset to a smaller degree by our futures hedging.
The main driver of Fund performance was the equity component, contributing approximately 5.1%, with additional positive performance from the options of approximately 0.7%. This positive performance was offset by the negative performance of the futures and fixed income.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Short Version: Performance was driven by equities on the upside and offset to a smaller degree by our futures hedging.
It was a very strong calendar year for the S&P 500 Index, and in big up markets like 2013, we tend to underperform an all equity, more volatile index. As in the 4th quarter, our performance was driven by equities on the upside and offset to a smaller degree by our futures hedging. These hedging strategies are vital to maintaining our low volatility positioning and consistency over longer periods of time. In the short term, performance can make you look like a genius or quite foolish. One interesting way to look at performance is with the use of rolling returns, which may offer a more effective measure, as they portray an accurate and in-depth picture of a portfolio’s performance and not a single point in time. The chart on the next page shows the frequency with which we achieved our capture ratio goal over one-, three-, and five-year rolling periods when the S&P 500 Index was positive. It shows that 68% of the time we have achieved our capture ratio goal over one-year rolling periods, 86% over 3-year rolling periods, and 91% over 5-year rolling periods. Accordingly, the percentage of periods in which we did not achieve our capture goal diminish significantly when observing performance over longer time periods.

These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature.

Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance
Market volatility can significantly affect short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in the small companies within this multi-cap fund generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. The Fund’s use of options, futures, and leverage can magnify the risk of loss in an unfavorable market, and the Fund’s use of short-sale positions can, in theory, expose shareholders to unlimited loss. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole. The Fund uses an option writing strategy in which the Fund may sell covered calls or secured put options. Options are subject to special risks and may not fully protect the Fund against declines in the value of its stocks. In addition, an option writing strategy limits the upside profit potential normally associated with stocks. Finally, the Fund’s fixed-income holdings are subject to three types of risk. Interest rate risk is the chance that bond prices overall will decline as interest rates rise. Credit risk is the chance a bond issuer will fail to pay interest and principal. Prepayment risk is the chance a mortgage-backed bond issuer will repay a higher yielding bond, resulting in a lower paying yield.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
1. Organization:
Bridgeway Funds, Inc. (“Bridgeway” or the “Company”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on October 19, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
Bridgeway is organized as a series fund, with 11 investment funds as of December 31, 2013 (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Aggressive Investors 1, Ultra-Small Company, Ultra-Small Company Market, Small-Cap Momentum, Small-Cap Growth, Small-Cap Value, Large-Cap Growth, Blue Chip 35 Index and Managed Volatility Funds are presented in this report. The Omni Small-Cap Value and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Funds are included in a separate report.
Bridgeway is authorized to issue 1,915,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2013, 100,000,000 shares have been classified into the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund. 130,000,000 shares have been classified into the Blue Chip 35 Index Fund. 15,000,000 shares have been classified into the Ultra-Small Company Fund. 100,000,000 shares each have been classified into the Ultra-Small Company Market, Omni Small-Cap Value, Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value, Small-Cap Momentum, Small-Cap Growth, Small-Cap Value and Large-Cap Growth Funds. 50,000,000 shares have been classified into the Managed Volatility Fund.
The Ultra-Small Company Fund is open to existing investors (direct only).
All of the Funds are no-load, diversified funds.
The Aggressive Investors 1 Fund seeks to exceed the stock market total return (primarily through capital appreciation) at a level of total risk roughly equal to that of the stock market over longer periods of time (three year intervals or more).
The Ultra-Small Company, Ultra-Small Company Market, Small-Cap Momentum, Small-Cap Growth, Small-Cap Value and Large-Cap Growth Funds seek to provide a long-term total return on capital, primarily through capital appreciation.
The Blue Chip 35 Index Fund seeks to provide long-term total return on capital, primarily through capital appreciation, but also some income.
The Managed Volatility Fund seeks to provide a high current return with short-term risk less than or equal to 40% of the stock market.
Bridgeway Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser for all of the Funds.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following summary of significant accounting policies, followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds, are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Securities, Options, Futures and Other Investments Valuation Other than options, portfolio securities that are principally traded on a national securities exchange are valued at their last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), on each day the NYSE is open for business. If there is no closing price on the NYSE, the portfolio security will be valued using a composite price, which is defined as the last trading price for the security on the exchange on which the security last traded. Portfolio securities other than options that are principally traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NAS-DAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of recorded sales on their home exchange, or NOCP, in the case of NASDAQ traded securities, the security will be valued as follows: bid prices for long positions and ask prices for short positions.
Short-term fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Options are valued at the close if there is trading volume and, if there is no trading volume, the options are valued at the bid on long positions and the ask on the short positions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
When market quotations are not readily available or when events occur that make established valuation methods unreliable, securities of the Funds may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The valuation assigned to a fair valued security for purposes of calculating the Funds’ NAVs may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.
The inputs and valuation techniques used to determine the value of a Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
• | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equity securities. The Funds do not adjust the quoted price for such investments, even in situations where the Funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
• | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs, are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds and less liquid listed equity securities. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
Money market fund investments consist of mutual funds that invest primarily in securities that are valued at amortized cost, and the BNY Mellon Overnight Government Fund invests primarily in securities that are valued at cost or amortized cost. Therefore, these investments are classified as Level 2 investments.
• | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the Funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting value and therefore the Funds’ results of operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. A summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2013 is included with each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into, and transfers out of, each level of hierarchy as of the beginning of the reporting period. For the period ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in any of the Funds. Details regarding transfers into, and transfers out of, Level 3 can be found at the end of each Schedule of Investments for Funds that held Level 3 securities.

Securities Lending Upon lending its securities to third parties, each Fund receives compensation in the form of fees. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. Each Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. Additionally, a Fund does not have the right to sell or re-pledge collateral received in the form of securities unless the borrower goes into default. The risks to a Fund of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due resulting in a loss. Under the terms of the Securities Lending Agreement, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by the securities lending agent.
While securities are on loan, the Fund continues to receive dividends on the securities loaned and recognizes any gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under a Securities Lending Agreement which provides the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral or to offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
The following table is a summary of the Funds’ securities loaned and related collateral which are subject to a netting agreement as of December 31, 2013:

Excess of collateral received from an individual counterparty is not shown for financial reporting purposes. |
It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from, or return excess collateral to, the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily

less than that required under the lending contract. Small-Cap Growth and Managed Volatility Funds obtained additional collateral on the following business day after the period end to ensure the securities on loan were adequately collateralized. As of December 31, 2013 the collateral consisted of an institutional money market fund.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties The Funds provide for various investment options, including stocks, bonds and call and put options. Such investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the risks involved, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect shareholders’ account values and the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date, the date the order to buy or sell is executed. Realized gains and losses are computed on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date. Particularly related to the Managed Volatility Fund, discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized on the effective interest method.
Fund expenses that are not series-specific are allocated to each series based upon its relative proportion of net assets to the Funds’ total net assets or other appropriate basis.
Distributions to Shareholders The Funds pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains annually, usually in December.
Derivatives
The Funds’ use of derivatives for the period ended December 31, 2013 was limited to futures contracts, purchased options, and written options. The following is a summary of how these derivatives are treated in the financial statements and their impact on the Funds.

The derivative instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2013, as disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, and the amounts of realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Funds.
Futures Contracts The Funds may purchase or sell financial futures contracts to hedge cash positions, manage market risk, and to dampen volatility in line with investment objectives. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or U.S. government securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the futures contract is traded. The contract amount reflects the extent of a Fund’s exposure in these financial instruments. A Fund’s participation in the futures markets involves certain risks, including imperfect correlation between movements in the price of futures contracts and movements in the price of the securities hedged or used for cover. Pursuant to a contract, such Fund agrees to receive from, or pay to, the broker an amount of cash equal to the fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by a Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. With futures, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds, since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. As of December 31, 2013, the Funds had no open futures contracts.
Options The Aggressive Investors 1 Fund may buy and sell calls and puts to increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to stock market risk or for purposes of diversification of risk. The Managed Volatility Fund may buy and sell calls and puts to reduce the Fund’s volatility and provide some cash flow. An option is a contract conveying a right to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specified price during a stipulated period. The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of a call or a put option is included in such Fund’s Schedule of Investments as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by such Fund is included in its Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which a Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date, or if such Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, that Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such options is extinguished. If a call option that a Fund has written is assigned, such Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option that a Fund has written is assigned, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security that such Fund purchased upon exercise of the option. Buying calls increases a Fund’s exposure to the underlying security to the extent of any premium paid. Buying puts on a stock market index tends to limit a Fund’s exposure to a stock market decline. All options purchased by the Funds were listed on exchanges and considered liquid positions with readily available market quotes.
Covered Call Options and Secured Puts The Aggressive Investors 1 and Managed Volatility Funds may write call options on a covered basis, that is, a Fund will own the underlying security, or a Fund may write secured puts. The principal reason for writing covered calls and secured puts on a security is to attempt to realize income through the receipt of premiums. The option writer has, in return for the premium, given up the opportunity for profit from a substantial price increase in the underlying security so long as the obligation as a writer continues, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the security

Indemnification Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers, directors, employees and agents are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.
3. Advisory Fees, Other Related Party Transactions and Contingencies:
The Funds have entered into management agreements with the Adviser. As compensation for the advisory services rendered, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, the Funds pay the Adviser a fee pursuant to each Fund’s management agreement, as described below.
Aggressive Investors 1: A total advisory fee is paid by the Fund to the Adviser that is comprised of a Base Fee and a Performance Adjustment. The Base Fee equals the Base Fee Rate times the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Base Fee Rate is based on the following annual rates: 0.90% of the first $250 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets, 0.875% of the next $250 million, 0.85% of the next $500 million and 0.80% of any excess over $1 billion.
The Performance Adjustment equals 4.67% times the difference in cumulative total return between the Fund and the Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index with dividends reinvested (hereinafter “Index”) over a rolling five-year performance period. The Performance Adjustment Rate varies from a minimum of -0.70% to a maximum of +0.70%. However, the Performance Adjustment Rate is zero if the difference between the cumulative Fund performance and the Index performance is less than or equal to 2%.
Ultra-Small Company: The Fund pays advisory fees based on the following annual rates: 0.90% of the first $250 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets, 0.875% of the next $250 million and 0.85% of any excess over $500 million. The management fees are computed daily and are payable monthly. However, during any period that the Fund’s net assets range from $27,500,000 to $55,000,000, the advisory fee will be determined as if the Fund had $55,000,000 under management. This is limited to a maximum annualized expense ratio of 1.49% of average net assets.
Ultra-Small Company Market: The Fund’s advisory fee is a flat 0.50% of the value of the Fund’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly.
Small-Cap Momentum: The Fund’s advisory fee is a flat 0.55% of the value of the Fund’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements. The Funds are not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
7. Line of Credit
Bridgeway established a line of credit agreement (“Facility”) with The Bank of New York Mellon effective November 5, 2010. The Facility is for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to provide liquidity for shareholder redemptions, and is cancellable by either party. Unless cancelled earlier, the Facility shall be held available until September 18, 2014. Advances under the Facility are limited to $10,000,000 in total for all Funds, and advances to each Fund shall not exceed certain limits set forth in the credit agreement, including, but not limited to, the maximum amount a Fund is permitted to borrow under the 1940 Act.
The Funds incur a commitment fee of 0.05% per annum on the unused portion of the Facility and interest expense to the extent of amounts borrowed under the Facility. Interest is based on the “Overnight Rate” plus 1.25%. The Overnight Rate means the higher of (a) the Federal Funds rate, (b) the Overnight Eurodollar Rate, or (c) the One-month Eurodollar Rate. The commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears and are allocated to all participating Funds. Interest expense is charged directly to a Fund based upon actual amounts borrowed by such Fund.
For the period ended December 31, 2013, borrowings by the Funds under this line of credit were as follows:
Bridgeway Fund | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Weighted Average Loan Balance | Number of Days Outstanding | Interest Expense Incurred1 | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period | |||||||||||||||

The fee is charged for the benefit of the remaining shareholders and will be paid to the appropriate Fund to help offset transaction costs. The fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.

There are no exchange fees. Shareholders are subject to redemption fees on the Ultra-Small Company Market and Small-Cap Momentum Funds under certain circumstances. However, as a shareholder of a Fund, you will incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2013 and held until December 31, 2013.
Actual Expenses. The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. 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 a Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, because other funds may also have transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued)
Omni Small-Cap Value Fund vs. Russell 2000 Value Index
from Inception 8/31/11 to 12/31/13
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund is designed to capture the returns of the small-cap value asset class through broad diversification of small company and value stocks. This approach is sometimes referred to as “passive, asset class investing.” As of December 31, 2013, we held 508 such stocks in a market cap weighted style. We make no attempt to track any particular index in either performance or statistics.
Our design tilt toward deeper value and smaller stocks contributed positively to performance. Additionally, the Fund’s holdings within the Consumer Staples and Energy sectors had a positive effect on relative performance.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
Our smaller cap and deeper value exposures helped performance for the calendar year. Relative to our primary market benchmark, we were overweighted in the Consumer Discretionary sector, a strong performing sector; this helped the Fund’s absolute and relative returns. We were underweighted in the Utilities sector, which lagged for the year.

Disclaimer
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2013, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly impact short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short-term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole.
Conclusion
Thank you for your continued investment in Omni Small-Cap Value Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

The table above and the graph on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The Russell 2000 Value Index is an unmanaged index that consists of stocks in the Russell 2000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values with dividends reinvested. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.
According to data from Lipper, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund ranked 39th of 307 small-cap value funds for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 and 49th of 251 such funds since inception in December, 2010. Lipper, Inc. is an independent mutual fund rating service that ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.

Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund vs. Russell 2000 Value Index
from Inception 12/31/10 to 12/31/13
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund is designed to capture the returns of the small-cap value asset class through broad diversification of small company and value stocks. We also seek to minimize the distribution of capital gains within the constraints of the investment objective. This approach is sometimes referred to as “passive, asset class investing.” As of December 31, 2013, we held 522 such stocks in a market cap weighted style. We make no attempt to track any particular index in either performance or statistics.
Our design tilt toward deeper value and smaller stocks contributed positively to performance. Additionally, the Fund’s holdings within the Consumer Staples and Energy sectors had a positive effect on relative performance.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
Our smaller cap and deeper value exposure helped performance for the calendar year. Relative to our primary market benchmark, we were overweighted in the Consumer Discretionary sector, a strong performing sector; this helped the Fund’s absolute and relative returns. We were underweighted in the Utilities sector, which lagged for the year.

Disclaimer
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2013, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly impact short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short-term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole.
Conclusion
Thank you for your continued investment in Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
1. Organization:
Bridgeway Funds, Inc. (“Bridgeway” or the “Company”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on October 19, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
Bridgeway is organized as a series fund, with 11 investment funds as of December 31, 2013 (each, a “Bridgeway Fund” and collectively, the “Bridgeway Funds”). Aggressive Investors 1, Ultra-Small Company, Ultra-Small Company Market, Small-Cap Momentum, Small-Cap Growth, Small-Cap Value, Large-Cap Growth, Blue Chip 35 Index and Managed Volatility Funds are presented in a separate report. The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund and the Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) are presented in this report.
Bridgeway is authorized to issue 1,915,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2013, 100,000,000 shares have been classified into the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund. 130,000,000 shares have been classified into the Blue Chip 35 Index Fund. 15,000,000 shares have been classified into the Ultra-Small Company Fund. 100,000,000 shares each have been classified into the Ultra-Small Company Market, Omni Small-Cap Value, Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value, Small-Cap Momentum, Small-Cap Growth, Small-Cap Value and Large-Cap Growth Funds. 50,000,000 shares have been classified into the Managed Volatility Fund.
All of the Bridgeway Funds are no-load, diversified funds.
The Funds seek to provide long-term total return on capital, primarily through capital appreciation.
Bridgeway Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser for all of the Bridgeway Funds.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following summary of significant accounting policies, followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds, are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Securities, Options and Other Investments Valuation Other than options, portfolio securities that are principally traded on a national securities exchange are valued at their last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), on each day the NYSE is open for business. If there is no closing price on the NYSE, the portfolio security will be valued using a composite price, which is defined as the last trading price for the security on the exchange on which the security last traded. Portfolio securities other than options that are principally traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of recorded sales on their home exchange, or NOCP, in the case of NASDAQ traded securities, the security will be valued as follows: bid prices for long positions and ask prices for short positions.
Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
When market quotations are not readily available or when events occur that make established valuation methods unreliable, securities of the Funds may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The valuation assigned to a fair valued security for purposes of calculating the Funds’ NAV may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
The inputs and valuation techniques used to determine the value of a Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
— | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equity securities. The Funds do not adjust the quoted price for such investments, even in situations where the Funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
— | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but whose values are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs, are classified as Level 2 prices. These generally include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds and less liquid listed equity securities. As investments whose values are classified as Level 2 prices include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.
Money market fund investments consist of mutual funds that invest primarily in securities that are valued at amortized cost, and the BNY Mellon Overnight Government Fund invests primarily in securities that are valued at cost or amortized cost. Therefore, these investments are classified as Level 2 investments.
— | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Investments whose values are classified as Level 3 prices have significant unobservable inputs, as they may trade infrequently or not at all. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds use one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the Funds in estimating the value of Level 3 prices may include the original transaction price, quoted prices for similar securities or assets in active markets, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 prices may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Funds in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting value and therefore the Funds’ results of operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. A summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2013 is included with each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers into, and transfers out of, each level of hierarchy as of the beginning of the reporting period. For the period ended December 31, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in any of the Funds. Details regarding transfers into, and transfers out of, Level 3 can be found at the end of each Schedule of Investments for Funds that hold Level 3 securities.
Securities Lending Upon lending its securities to third parties, each Fund receives compensation in the form of fees. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. Each Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. Additionally, a Fund does not have the right to sell or repledge collateral received in the form of securities unless the borrower goes into default. The risks to a Fund of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due resulting in a loss. Under the terms of the Securities Lending Agreement, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by the securities lending agent.
While securities are on loan, the Fund continues to receive dividends on the securities loaned and recognizes any gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned.
34 | Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under a Securities Lending Agreement which provides the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral or to offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
The following table is a summary of the Funds’ securities loaned and related collateral which are subject to a netting agreement as of December 31, 2013:
Gross Amount Not Offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | ||||||||||||||||||
Fund | Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets | Gross Amounts Offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | Net Amounts of Assets Presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | Financial Instruments | Cash Collateral Received1 | Net Amount | ||||||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value | ||||||||||||||||||
Securities lending | $ | 12,824,207 | - | $ | 12,824,207 | - | $ | 12,824,207 | - | |||||||||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | ||||||||||||||||||
Securities lending | $ | 8,932,457 | - | $ | 8,932,457 | - | $ | 8,932,457 | - |
1 | Collateral with a value of $13,254,708 and $ 9,218,361 has been received in connection with securities lending of Omni Small-Cap Value Fund and Omni Tax-Managed Small Cap Value Fund, respectively. Excess of collateral received from individual counterparty is not shown for financial reporting purposes. |
It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract. As of December 31, 2013, the collateral consisted of an institutional money market fund.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties The Funds provide for various investment options, including stocks. Such investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the risks involved, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would materially affect shareholders’ account values and the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date, the date the order to buy or sell is executed. Realized gains and losses are computed on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date.
Bridgeway Funds’ expenses that are not series-specific are allocated to each series based upon its relative proportion of net assets to the Bridgeway Funds’ total net assets or other appropriate basis.
Distributions to Shareholders The Funds pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains annually, usually in December.

December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
Indemnification Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers, directors, employees and agents are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.
3. Advisory Fees, Other Related Party Transactions and Contingencies:
The Funds have entered into a management agreement with the Adviser. As compensation for the advisory services rendered, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Adviser, the Funds pay the Adviser a fee of 0.50% of the value of each Fund’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly.
Expense limitations: The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Funds for operating expenses and advisory fees above the expense limitations shown in the table below, which are shown as a ratio of net expenses to average net assets, for each Fund, for the period ended December 31, 2013. Any material change to the expense limitation would require a vote by shareholders of the applicable Fund.
Bridgeway Fund | Expense Limitation | Total Waivers and Reimbursements for Period Ending 12/31/13 | ||
Omni Small-Cap Value* | 0.60% | $167,901 | ||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value* | 0.60% | 161,206 | ||
|
*The Funds are authorized to reimburse the Adviser for management fees previously waived and/or for expenses previously paid by the Adviser, provided, however, that any reimbursements must be paid at a date not more than three years after the fiscal year in which the Adviser waived the fees or reimbursed the expenses and that the reimbursements do not cause the Funds to exceed the expense limitation in the agreement. The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund has recoupable expenses of $184,328, $384,005, and 167,901, which expire on June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2017, respectively. The Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund has recoupable expenses of $85,793, $243,003, $328,970, and 161,206, which expire June 30, 2014, June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2017, respectively.
Other Related Party Transactions: The Bridgeway Funds will engage in inter-portfolio trades between funds when it is to the benefit of both parties. The Board of Directors reviews these trades quarterly. Inter-portfolio purchases and sales for the Funds during the period ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Bridgeway Fund | Inter-Portfolio Purchases | Inter-Portfolio Sales | ||||||
| ||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value | $11,573,526 | $5,998,401 | ||||||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | 8,499,282 | 7,309,570 |
The Adviser entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Bridgeway, pursuant to which the Adviser provides various administrative services to the Funds including, but not limited to: (i) supervising and managing various aspects of the Funds’ business and affairs; (ii) selecting, overseeing and/or coordinating activities with other service providers to the Funds; (iii) providing reports to the Board of Directors as requested from time to time; (iv) assisting and/or reviewing amendments and updates to the Funds’ registration statement and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (v) providing certain shareholder services; (vi) providing administrative support in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors; and (vii) providing certain record-keeping services. For its services to all of the Bridgeway Funds, the Adviser is paid an aggregate annual fee of $535,000, payable in equal monthly installments. During the period ended December 31, 2013, the allocation of this expense to the Omni Small-Cap Value and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Funds was $38,618 and $40,003, respectively.
36 | Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2013 (Unaudited) |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
December 31, 2013 (Unaudited)
Board of Directors Compensation Independent Directors are paid an annual retainer of $14,000, with an additional retainer of $2,500 paid to the Independent Chairman of the Board and an additional retainer of $1,000 paid to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair. The retainer is paid in quarterly installments. Independent Directors are paid $6,000 per meeting for meeting fees. Such compensation is the total compensation from all Bridgeway Funds and is allocated among the Bridgeway Funds.
The Independent Directors each receive this compensation in the form of shares of the Bridgeway Funds, credited to his or her account. Such Directors are reimbursed for any expenses incurred in attending meetings and conferences, as well as expenses for subscriptions or printed materials. The amount of Directors’ fees attributable to each Fund is disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
One director of Bridgeway, John Montgomery, is an owner and director of the Adviser. Another director of Bridgeway, Michael Mulcahy, is an executive and director of the Adviser. Under the 1940 Act definitions, each is considered to be an “affiliated person” of the Adviser and an “interested person” of the Adviser and of Bridgeway. Compensation for Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Mulcahy is borne by the Adviser rather than the Bridgeway Funds.
4. Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Fees:
Foreside Fund Services, LLC acts as distributor of the Funds’ shares pursuant to a Distribution Agreement dated November 12, 2010. The Adviser pays all costs and expenses associated with distribution of the Funds’ shares, pursuant to a protective plan adopted by shareholders pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term securities, for each Fund for the period ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||||||||
U.S. Government | Other | U.S. Government | Other | |||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value | $ - | $99,670,858 | $ - | $83,348,192 | ||||||||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | - | 93,464,796 | - | 64,384,789 |
6. Federal Income Taxes
It is the Funds’ policy to continue to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute income to the extent necessary so that such Fund is not subject to federal income tax. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation on Investments (Tax Basis) The amount of net unrealized appreciation/ depreciation and the cost of investment securities for tax purposes, including short-term securities at December 31, 2013, were as follows:
Omni Small-Cap Value | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | |||||||
Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost) | $ 90,313,722 | $ 92,047,928 | ||||||
Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value) | (2,578,533 | ) | (2,668,074 | ) | ||||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 87,735,189 | $ 89,379,854 | ||||||
Cost of investments for income tax purposes | $250,890,641 | $262,123,561 |
The differences between book and tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are due to wash sale loss deferrals.
Classifications of Distributions Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.

Total | $5,031,818 | $218,329 | $2,235,902 | $379,007 |
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Funds will not be subject to expiration and will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. There are no capital loss carryovers for Omni Small-Cap Value Fund and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund as of June 30, 2013.
Components of Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) As of June 30, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were:
Omni Small-Cap Value | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | |||||||
Undistributed Net Investment Income | $ 424,816 | $ 599,388 | ||||||
Accumulated Net Realized Gain on Investments* | 7,931,813 | 4,659,259 | ||||||
Net Unrealized Appreciation of Investments | 55,657,433 | 45,672,622 | ||||||
Total | $64,014,062 | $50,931,269 |
* | Includes qualified late-year losses that the Funds have elected to defer to the beginning of their next fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund have no deferred late-year losses. |
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements. The Funds are not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
7. Line of Credit
Bridgeway established a line of credit agreement (“Facility”) with The Bank of New York Mellon effective November 5, 2010. The Facility is for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to provide liquidity for shareholder redemptions, and is cancellable by either party. Unless cancelled earlier, the Facility shall be held available until September 18, 2014. Advances under the Facility are limited to $10,000,000 in total for all Bridgeway Funds, and advances to each Bridgeway Fund shall not exceed certain limits set forth in the credit agreement, including, but not limited to, the maximum amount a Bridgeway Fund is permitted to borrow under the 1940 Act.
The Bridgeway Funds incur a commitment fee of 0.05% per annum on the unused portion of the Facility and interest expense to the extent of amounts borrowed under the Facility. Interest is based on the “Overnight Rate” plus 1.25%. The Overnight Rate means the higher of (a) the Federal Funds rate, (b) the Overnight Eurodollar Rate, or (c) the One-month Eurodollar Rate. The commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears and are allocated to all participating Bridgeway Funds. Interest expense is charged directly to a Bridgeway Fund, based upon actual amounts borrowed by such Bridgeway Fund.

Actual Expenses. The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. 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 a Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, because other funds may also have transaction costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees.
