LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM |

December 31, 2014 |
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Performance across all segments of the domestic equity market was positive for the December quarter and for the year, with no clear dominance of value or growth for the quarter or year. Market highlights appear on page 2. 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 Director of Research, Andrew L. Berkin co-wrote a book entitled The Incredible Shrinking Alpha: And What You Can Do to Escape Its Clutches. See page 2 for a sneak peek of this insightful read for novice and experienced investors.
Academics and industry practitioners like us are continually studying how the stock market works and what factors drive the risk and returns of stocks. Bridgeway’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Mike Mulcahy, kicks off a series on page 3 on how Bridgeway uses factors to construct portfolios.
We have always thought a fair question to ask of any money manager is, “How do you invest your money?” On page 4 Bridgeway’s founder and Chief Investment Officer, John Montgomery, publishes his target asset allocation plan. A note of caution: each investor’s situation is different; we advise against just following John’s plan. Read on to learn more about his long-term view on asset allocation.
One of the strongest parts of our culture is a commitment to community and world change. On page 5, Dick Cancelmo shares his experience as long-time supporter and advisory board member for Washington and Lee University’s Shepherd Poverty Program.
As always, we appreciate your feedback. We take your comments very seriously and regularly discuss them to help us manage our Funds and this company. Please keep your ideas coming — both favorable and critical. They provide us with a vital tool to serve you better.
Sincerely,
Your Investment Management Team

Market Review
Domestic equity markets rose in the fourth quarter of 2014 and for the calendar year. The quarter ended with the S&P 500 up 4.93% and the Dow up 5.20%. For the year, the S&P and Dow were up 13.69% and 10.04%, respectively.
Returns across U.S. equity style boxes, as defined by Morningstar, were strong for the quarter. Large-cap core stocks led the way, up 8.89%, while large-cap value stocks lagged, relatively speaking, up 2.92%. Both growth and value performed well for the quarter, and investors favored small-cap stocks over large-cap stocks.
Sector performance for the S&P 500 Index was mixed in the fourth quarter. Utilities led the way, gaining more than 13%, followed by Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples, up more than 8% each. Laggards for the quarter were Materials, down nearly 2%, Telecommunication Services, down more than 4%, and Energy, down 11%; they were the only sectors with negative returns.
Following are the stock market style box returns from Morningstar for the quarter and year.
A New Book from a Member of the Bridgeway Team
At Bridgeway, we want our shareholders to understand and embrace the logic, data and evidence behind our investment philosophy and process. So we’re excited to announce the publication of a new book co-written by Andrew Berkin, Bridgeway Capital Management’s Director of Research.
The Incredible Shrinking Alpha: And What You Can Do to Escape Its Clutches was authored by Andrew and Larry Swedroe, a prolific writer and long-time champion of evidence-based investing. Together, Larry and Andy examined a fascinating phenomenon: While it has always been difficult for investors to consistently beat the market, that task has become even harder in recent years. Using a data centered approach, the book lays out a compelling explanation for why those odds are shrinking and offers a number of strategies to improve investment results.
In simplest terms, much of what investors used to think was alpha – the ability to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns over an appropriate benchmark – can now be attributed to the inherent risk/reward profile of certain groups of investments. These characteristics are known as factors (which you can read more about in “What is a Factor?” on page 3). Academics and researchers, armed with better data and more powerful computing, are continually uncovering new factors and deepening our understanding of established ones. The book describes how this evidence is increasingly explaining more and more aspects of investment performance. There’s even research showing how Warren Buffet’s legendary investment success can be attributed, in part, to his tendency to invest in stocks that gave him exposure to specific factors, some of which had yet to be “discovered” by academics.
So while the book argues that there’s little chance of an investor beating the market through individual stock picking, it offers a roadmap for a successful approach: Decide which risks (and how much of each) you’re willing to take, diversify those risks, invest in factor- or evidence-based funds, and keep your costs low. The good news is that as a Bridgeway investor, you’re

already at least partially aligned with this investment approach. But reading this book may strengthen your commitment to following a low-cost, long-term, evidence-based approach. The Incredible Shrinking Alpha is available now, in print and ebook form, from Amazon.com.
What is a Factor?
Multiple studies have found that, as a whole, investment managers who pick individual stocks and attempt to time the market’s moves underperform a passive or indexed buy-and-hold strategy over long periods of time. For example, during the five years through mid-2014, 70% of actively managed mutual funds — across all capitalization and style categories — failed to beat their benchmarksi. Many papers have found similar results over longer periods; a study published by Bridgeway’s Director of Research, Andrew Berkin, with co-authors Robert Arnott and Jia Yeii, revealed comparable findings for before- and after-tax returns over 10, 15 and 20-year horizons.
Our Chief Investment Officer, John Montgomery, likes to say that looking at individual stocks is mildly entertaining but ultimately irrelevant to long-term investment success. So, how does Bridgeway construct portfolios? What gets us excited is research across a broad spectrum of stocks over a long period of time.
We call this approach statistically-driven, evidence-based investing. We study robust academic research that looks at which characteristics drive the returns of groups of stocks, and we test the risk/return characteristics of these groups across different market conditions and business cycles. Academics call these characteristics “factors,” and because factors are an essential part of Bridgeway’s investment strategies, we want to help you understand them better.
Academics and industry practitioners like us are continually studying how the stock market works and what factors drive the risk and returns of stocks. Over the years, researchers have focused on certain investment categories that appear to offer better risk-adjusted returns. You might be familiar with some of these, such as small companies vs. large, value vs. growth, momentum, quality, and so on. After intense research, peer review and debate, some of these factors have withstood the scrutiny and have become well accepted investment concepts. Others have failed to prove themselves robust enough, or have lost explanatory value over time.
In other words, researchers are continually using math and statistics combined with investment theory to explain what factors systematically drive stock market risk and return. Thanks to this work, investors now know several factors that are worth pursuing in an investment strategy. No single factor explains all the market’s returns. Each works at different times, but none work all the time. Some share similar return characteristics; others are quite different. Some are persistent, while others appear to have faded. But the good news is that investors can use persistent factors to develop investment strategies that achieve targeted risk/return objectives while keeping emotion — public enemy #1 for professional and amateur investors — out of day-to-day decisions.
That said, while there’s broad agreement on which factors drive long-term returns, not every investment manager follows the same approach when applying factors to an investment strategy. In fact, there are many ways to gain exposure to these factors in a portfolio. For example, value is one of the most commonly accepted factors in the investment world, but not everyone measures value in the same way. Some fund managers use a simple price-to-book ratio to examine a stock’s value, while others (like us) rely on multiple price ratios.
Because there is considerable care and expertise required when translating factors into investment products, we at Bridgeway spend a lot of our time and energy evaluating individual factors, defining ways to measure them, and analyzing how they work in correlation with each other to design our portfolios. Our belief in factors as the building blocks of our investment process allows us to create portfolios that are grounded in years of academic research, yet nimble enough to incorporate, where appropriate, the latest in factor research to benefit our clients.
Over the next several shareholder letters we will dig deeper into factors. Our goal is to help you understand more about these important drivers of risk and return, and how we use them to construct our Fund portfolios. We hope you enjoy this look into the science and expertise behind the Bridgeway Funds.

How I Invest My Money
by John Montgomery, Founder and Chief Investment Officer
I think a fair question for investors to ask the person managing their funds is, “How do you invest your money?”
As Chief Investment Officer of Bridgeway, I’m happy to answer. And since I haven’t shared my target asset allocation with you in a while, I thought I’d give you an update in this semi-annual report. If you’ve followed my writing in the past, you won’t be surprised to hear that my target allocation hasn’t changed much over time. Compared to others, I have a very long-term, very static view of asset allocation.
Bear in mind, everybody’s situation is different in terms of goals, risk tolerance, emergency fund cushion, and especially time horizons. I am not recommending that you follow my target allocation, because your situation is undoubtedly different than mine. I share it with you simply to show my thought process and also by way of disclosure.
Personally, I have a high threshold for pain in a market downturn. I don’t usually look at my account statements beyond updating them in Quicken often enough to ensure accuracy and tax lots and disclosure reporting. My rule of thumb — both professionally and personally — is, “If it doesn’t make a difference in a decision you make, don’t look.”
I realize this is hardly classical wisdom, but I see two big problems with watching one’s investments too closely. First, investors tend to become more nervous, especially in a downturn, which causes unnecessary stress — and studies show that stress causes investors to make costly changes to their investment mix. Second, investors tend to chase “hot” returns, buying more of an investment after a big run-up and selling after a downturn. That’s a formula for financial disaster.
So what’s the antidote to obsessing about returns? Here’s my philosophy:
a) Structure an asset allocation plan that matches your goals, investing time horizon and risk tolerance. Generally, this means diversified, short-term income investments for near-term needs and more stocks for long-term needs.
b) Write it down.
c) Implement it.
d) Rebalance it about once a year, or as lifestyle changes occur.
Increasingly, I support hiring an investment advisor to help you implement this strategy — but only one who charges reasonable fees, does tax-lot level reporting, practices regular rebalancing and takes advantage of donating appreciated tax lots. Above all, you need an advisor who understands the dynamics of the behavior gap and has a strong record of helping clients avoid chasing hot returns and panicking in downturns.
Now, some disclosure before we get to my allocation:
1. I am 59 years old, and my three children are all financially independent adults. My wife and I pay our living expenses out of the income we receive from our respective workplaces, so my investments are essentially all long-term focused and earmarked for our retirement years. For near-term obligations (especially an emergency fund), I have historically used short-term bonds (including inflation-protected bonds) and a small amount of savings in a money market fund. Currently, I use the Bridgeway Managed Volatility Fund for short-term obligations since it has a fixed income component.
2. At any given time my actual allocation will vary somewhat from the targets below, due to periodic cash flow and tax management considerations. Generally, I try to keep it in balance over time. Since I am in the income producing phase of life, I typically am able to rebalance by investing new money into the area of my allocation that has underperformed the most. I will also trim what has done really well, if necessary, to stay close to my targets below.
3. I use Bridgeway-managed portfolios for 100% of my stock market investing needs. No portfolio manager at Bridgeway is permitted to buy domestic equities directly; we “eat our own cooking.”

4. This table does not include my substantial, majority ownership in Bridgeway Capital Management, since I plan to retire off of my personal investments as detailed below. The substantial allocation of Bridgeway Funds through my Bridgeway Capital Management ownership can be found in the Statement of Additional Information on our website.
5. In addition to my mutual fund allocation, at one point, I invested less than 10% of my investments with a family member in a diversifying venture. Currently, I have no investments outside my mutual fund allocation (my brother sold his business), but I could do this again in the future.
6. The following table depicts my personal targeted Fund allocation, but does not show or explain how the Bridgeway managers (including me) manage money within each Fund.
Whew! Here’s my long-term target allocation:

Transformative Change: Preparing Tomorrow’s Leaders to Fight Poverty
by Dick Cancelmo, Trading and Portfolio Management
The Shepherd Poverty Program began in 1997 at my alma mater, Washington and Lee University, to address a glaring need: The study of poverty was woefully lacking, or even non-existent, at the undergraduate level.
Faculty and administration at Washington and Lee came together, developed a plan and secured funding from Tom and Nancy Shepherd to launch the innovative program. Students participate in rigorous classroom study of poverty, along with focused summer internships at non-profits in their area of study. This combination enriches the education of students in a wide variety of majors with many different career paths. The intent is to prepare students for a lifetime of professional, civic and political activity to help diminish poverty.
Bridgeway first learned about the Shepherd Program in the early 2000s. We studied the program carefully, as we do with any potential charitable commitment. We liked what we saw and decided to make a donation. What we didn’t know then is how this program would impact two of our partners — myself and Michele Camp — over time. And more importantly, we didn’t know just how much it would affect students, non-profits, businesses and the disadvantaged across the country.
Shortly after our initial donation, I joined the advisory board for Washington and Lee’s Shepherd Poverty Program. As we got closer to the program, we concluded that we wanted to see it expand around the country, particularly here in Houston. This idea was not new to program founder Harlan Beckley. He had a vision of thousands of graduates entering the work force every year with the knowledge and experience to help reduce poverty and make a real impact on the lives of others. He helped us explore ways we could get more involved, which led to Bridgeway giving the initial funds to start poverty programs at Rice and Baylor Universities. Michele Camp had heard me talking about the program and thought it would be a great fit for her alma mater, Furman University. So we gave the funds to start a program there, too, and Michele is now co-chair of the advisory board for Furman’s program.

LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued) | ||
Given the enormous problem of global poverty, others in academia continued to ponder why their institutions lacked a formal poverty studies program. Again, this gap was not lost on Harlan Beckley, who continued his mission to grow poverty studies by creating The Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on Poverty in 2011. I joined the effort as one of the founding directors, and the consortium now unites nearly 25 colleges for collaborative work in this important area of study for our leaders of tomorrow.
Michele and I have learned a great deal over the years through our collaboration with the Shepherd Poverty Program, but the most powerful insights come directly from the students sharing their stories of transformational change. We hear about their internships in far-ranging places such as an emergency room in New York City, a Boys and Girls Club in a poor, rural town in the Mississippi Delta, a mission at the Navajo Nation Reservation in Arizona, or in a public defenders office in Atlanta.
These stories often bring tears to your eyes because they are about real people living extremely difficult lives in poverty. But those tears are partially inspired by how deeply these students care about alleviating those challenges, and from the realization that they now have the education and experience to tackle this problem through their personal and professional lives. They offer hope.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | ||
(Unaudited) |
December 31, 2014
Dear Fellow Aggressive Investors 1 Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our Fund appreciated 6.55%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+4.93%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index (+3.86%). The Fund lagged the smaller-cap Russell 2000 Index (+9.73%) in a small-cap dominated market. It was a good quarter on an absolute basis, but a mixed quarter on a relative basis; we are generally pleased with the results.

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, 2014, Aggressive Investors 1 Fund ranked 17th of 270 capital appreciation funds for the twelve months ending December 31, 2014, 59th of 233 over the last five years, 126th of 163 over the last ten years, and 2nd of 48 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 12/31/14
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
In a quarter when small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks, our Fund’s “all-cap” design was a primary factor impacting the relative performance versus its larger primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. Our momentum and value category of models performed strongly this quarter.
The Fund’s sector allocation, which is an outcome of statistical analysis of company-level fundamentals and not any macroeconomic or sector view, detracted slightly from our relative returns. However, strong stock selection across several sectors more than offset the negative effect of the Fund’s sector allocation versus our primary benchmark. The Fund was overweighted in the Materials sector, which was a poor performing sector. Overweighting in the Industrials sector, airline company stocks in particular, contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
For the calendar year, we outperformed all of our benchmarks. Positive momentum among larger companies was rewarded this year and contributed positively to our Fund’s performance. Our price momentum and company financial health categories of models, accounting for approximately 70% of the Fund’s assets, contributed to the Fund’s absolute and relative returns. Our current positioning, favoring smaller size companies relative to our primary market benchmark, slightly helped the Fund’s annual performance.
With the exception of the Energy and Financial sectors, the Fund’s holdings generally performed well. In a year when the Energy sector did not perform well, the lower energy prices benefited the airline industry. Our airline holdings added more than 4% to both the total absolute and relative annual returns of the Fund.

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, 2014, 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.

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
Our Fund underperformed the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index for the quarter. Our company financial health and momentum categories of models underperformed versus the benchmark, which hurt our performance.
Underweighting in the Health Care sector and stock selection within the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors detracted the most from our relative performance, while our holdings in Consumer Staples positively contributed to relative performance.

Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
For the calendar year, the Fund underperformed the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark. While the Fund had strong exposure to some of the smallest stocks in the CRSP 10 universe of stocks, higher relative exposure to stocks which have outgrown the CRSP 10 size cutoff — ones that we don’t sell immediately — contributed to underperformance. Additionally, ultra-small stocks with highest liquidity hurt the Fund’s relative returns for the year.
Our diversifying models in the value and momentum categories underperformed the benchmark’s return of 2.86%, while company financial health models outperformed.
Holdings within the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors contributed most to the Fund’s underperformance. Additionally, there were some significant laggards in the Information Technology and Materials 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, 2014, 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,
The Investment Management Team

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 12/31/14
* | 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
Our Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index, for the quarter. A primary driver of the Fund’s performance relates to 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 company stocks. In order to keep the Fund’s turnover low, the Fund’s adviser does not sell a stock immediately when is outgrows the CRSP 10 (ultra-small) size threshold.
While a majority of the Fund’s assets are ultra-small (decile 10), holdings in slightly larger cap stocks contributed to the Fund’s relative performance, as the ultra-small category of stocks lagged that of its nearby small brethren (deciles 8 and 9). 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 this quarter.

Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
Our Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index, for the calendar year. Our strategy of avoiding a relatively small percentage of stocks that can be very damaging in downturns added to our relative performance for the calendar year. We are pleased with the Fund’s performance, in line with Fund design.

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, 2014, 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,

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | ||
(Unaudited) |
December 31, 2014
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Momentum Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our Fund appreciated 7.43%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (+9.73%). While it was a good quarter in absolute terms, we are disappointed with our relative returns.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2014, our Fund declined 1.16%, trailing the Russell 2000 Index (+1.65%).
For the calendar year, our Fund declined 0.94%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Index (+4.89%).
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.
Standardized Returns as of December 31, 2014

Small-Cap Momentum Fund | 7.43 | % | -1.16 | % | -0.94 | % | 14.01 | % | ||||||||
Russell 2000 Index | 9.73 | % | 1.65 | % | 4.89 | % | 15.48 | % |
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, 2014, Small-Cap Momentum Fund ranked 731st of 801 small-cap core funds for the twelve months ending December 31, 2014 and 395th of 631 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 5/28/10 to 12/31/14
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
Within our universe of small companies, price momentum generally performed poorly relative to the non-momentum stocks in the December quarter. The risk-adjustment overlay feature of the Fund further hurt in the up market.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
Similar to the quarter, momentum holdings lagged the Russell 2000 Index for the calendar year, and the risk-adjustment overlay feature detracted from performance. Holdings in the Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors hurt the Fund’s relative performance 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, 2014, 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.
Conclusion
Thank you for your continued investment in Small-Cap Momentum Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

(Unaudited)
December 31, 2014
|
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Growth Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our Fund appreciated 6.07%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (+10.06%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (+7.82%). It was a good quarter on an absolute basis but a poor quarter on a relative basis.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2014, our Fund was up 2.21%, trailing our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (+3.31%), but outperforming our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (+1.94%).
For the calendar year, our Fund appreciated 6.13%, beating the Russell 2000 Growth Index (+5.60%), and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (+1.98%). 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.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (continued) | ||
(Unaudited) |
Small-Cap Growth Fund vs. Russell 2000 Growth Index & Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index
from Inception 10/31/03 to 12/31/14
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
Stocks selected by our diversifying value metrics models, which comprise a minority of our holdings, underperformed for the quarter, posting an average return of 3.4% versus the Russell 2000 Growth Index’s return of 10.1%. While the Fund’s sector allocation was closely aligned with that of our primary market benchmark, holdings within the Health Care, Energy and Consumer Discretionary sectors detracted from our Fund’s relative return.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
Our diversifying value metrics and momentum models performed quite well relative to our primary index, while our core company financial health models lagged the index.
Energy stocks were the worst performing sector for the calendar year and detracted from both the absolute and relative returns. Holdings in the Information Technology and Consumer Staples sectors contributed the most to the Fund’s relative performance. Health Care holdings performed well for the calendar year despite the poor relative performance of this sector for the quarter.

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, 2014, 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 Small-Cap Growth Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | ||
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2014 |
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our Fund appreciated 7.66%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (+9.40%), but outperforming our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index (+5.99%). This was a mixed quarter.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2014, our Fund was down 2.10%, trailing our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (+.01%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index (-1.61%).
For the calendar year, our Fund appreciated 0.79%, trailing both of our benchmarks. We are leading our primary market benchmark in the five- and ten-year periods, but are still lagging our primary and peer benchmarks in the inception-to-date period.
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.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (continued) | ||
(Unaudited) |
Small-Cap Value Fund vs. Russell 2000 Value Index & Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index
from Inception 10/31/03 to 12/31/14
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Fund’s investment in deeper value stocks across multiple value metrics detracted from relative performance. Additionally, greater exposure to higher momentum stocks and more volatile stocks worked against the Fund for the quarter. Looking at sector performance, the allocations and stock selection in the Energy and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributed to the Fund’s underperformance.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Fund’s exposure to deeper value and more volatile stocks contributed to the Fund’s underperformance for the calendar year. Energy and Consumer Discretionary sector holdings detracted the most from the Fund’s absolute performance for the calendar year. Overweighting in the Energy sector and holdings in the Consumer Discretionary sector hurt the Fund’s relative performance. Additionally, our company financial health models significantly lagged the primary benchmark 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, 2014, 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 Small-Cap Value Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | ||
(Unaudited)
December 31, 2014
|
Dear Fellow Large-Cap Growth Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our Fund appreciated 8.62%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+4.78%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index (+4.55%). We are pleased with the results.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2014, our Fund was up 10.80%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+6.34%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index (+5.88%).
For the calendar year, our Fund was up 18.66%, beating our primary market benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+13.05%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index (+10.34%). It was a good year for the Fund on an absolute and relative basis. We are now leading our benchmarks in the five-year period, but we are slightly lagging our primary benchmark in the longer 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.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (continued) | ||
(Unaudited) |
Large-Cap Growth Fund vs. Russell 1000 Growth Index & Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index from Inception 10/31/03 to 12/31/14
from Inception 10/31/03 to 12/31/14 |
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Fund’s non-market cap-weighted design, which gives the Fund less exposure to mega-cap stocks, helped relative returns versus the Russell 1000 Growth Index in a quarter when stocks at the very largest end of the size spectrum lagged. In addition, the models identifying company financial health as well as our momentum models performed exceptionally well this quarter. Strong stock selection also contributed to the Fund’s performance, with particularly strong holdings in the Industrials and Information Technology sectors.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
For the calendar year, the Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Broad based model performance and strong stock selection in the Industrials, Health Care and Consumer Discretionary sectors contributed to the Fund’s outperformance. In a year when the Energy sector did not perform well, the lower energy prices benefited the airline industry. Airline stocks within the Industrials sector contributed 2.5% to the Fund’s relative return.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | ||
(Unaudited) |
December 31, 2014
Dear Fellow Blue Chip 35 Index Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our Fund appreciated 3.15%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+4.93%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (+4.16%), and the Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index (+3.18%). It was a poor quarter on a relative basis.
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2014, our Fund returned 5.05%, trailing our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+6.12%), and the Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index (+6.32%). Our Fund outperformed our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (+4.45%).
For the calendar year, our Fund was up 11.51%, trailing our primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+13.69%), and the Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index (+11.68%). Our Fund beat our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (+11.33%).
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, 2014, Blue-Chip 35 Index Fund ranked 414th of 857 large-cap core funds for the twelve months ending December 31, 2014, 300th of 695 over the last five years, 220th of 485 over the last ten years, and 41st of 177 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.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (continued) | ||
(Unaudited) |
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 12/31/14
Quarterly and Calendar Year Performance by Company Size:
The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the quarter, as the Fund’s ultra-large company focus hurt performance. Additionally, the Fund was overweighted in the Energy and Telecommunication Services sectors, both lagging sectors, and underweighted in the strong performing Utilities sector, thus detracting from our relative performance.
In a year when larger stocks generally outperformed smaller ones, the largest company category (decile 1 in the table below) lagged the second largest company category (decile 2) of stocks. All of our Fund holdings are in decile 1. Only two-thirds of the S&P 500 Index is comprised of stocks in this decile. This created a substantial headwind in relative performance for the Fund in 2014. This is very unusual in a market favoring larger cap stocks. Indeed, large companies have outperformed small ones in 40 of the last 89 years. And among these 40 years, decile 1 stocks lagged decile 2 by this margin or more in only four years. Thus, historical data indicates that the 2014 unfavorable market environment has occurred approximately every other decade on average. It has occurred once in the 17-year life of the Fund, in 2014.
With respect to sectors, the Fund was underweighted in the Utilities sector, the best performing sector in our primary benchmark, and overweighted in the lagging Energy sector.

MANAGER’S COMMENTARY | ||
(Unaudited)
|
December 31, 2014
Dear Fellow Managed Volatility Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our Fund returned 1.21%, compared to our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+4.93%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (+2.32%), and the fixed-income only Bloomberg/ EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (+0.17%). 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 meet our objective of capturing 40% of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund captured approximately 25% of the upside. Our performance is in line with our risk profile 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, 2014, our Fund was up 0.63%, trailing our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+6.12%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (+1.73%), but beating the fixed-income only Bloomberg/ EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (+0.23%).
For the calendar year, our Fund returned 5.95%, trailing the S&P 500 Index (+13.69%) but capturing 43% of the index return – a favorable result. Our goal is to capture 40% or more of the market’s upside over the long term. We also trailed the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (+7.21%), but beat the fixed-income only Bloomberg/ EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (+0.64%).
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.

According to data from Lipper, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, the Managed Volatility Fund ranked 181st of 536 Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate funds for the twelve months ending December 31, 2014, 370th of 398 over the past five years, 235th of 260 over the last ten years, and 13th of 132 funds since inception in June 2001.

Managed Volatility Fund vs. S&P 500 Index, Bloomberg/EFFAS Bond Index & Lipper Balanced Funds Index
from Inception 6/30/01 to 12/31/14
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
For the quarter, the Managed Volatility Fund returned 1.21%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index’s return of 4.93%. The main drivers of positive Fund performance were the equity and options components, contributing approximately 2.4% and
0.4%, respectively. This positive performance was offset by the negative performance of the futures component. The fixed-income component was essentially flat for the quarter.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
For the calendar year, the Managed Volatility Fund returned 5.95%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index’s return of 13.69%. We considered this to be a solid year, as we captured 43% of the S&P 500’s return at a risk level in line with the Fund’s investment objective. As measures of risk and volatility, our beta for the year was approximately 0.33, well below our target level of 0.4 or below, and our standard deviation of 3.14 was approximately 40% of the S&P 500 Index’s standard deviation of 7.91. The main drivers of positive Fund performance were the equity and options components, contributing approximately 5.7% and 3.8%, respectively. This positive performance was offset by the negative performance of the futures component. The fixed-income component was essentially flat for the year.
The Fund continues to perform as expected, particularly over longer time horizons. For 10 years and since inception, the Fund has captured roughly 50% and 70%, respectively, of the S&P 500 Index’s return with a standard deviation roughly 55% lower than the Index.

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 that a bond issuer will fail to pay interest and principal. Prepayment risk is the chance that a mortgage-backed bond issuer will repay a higher yielding bond, resulting in a lower paying yield.

December 31, 2014 (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, 2014 (each is referred to as 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, 2014, 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, securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price on the national exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. In the case of securities reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“NASDAQ”) system, the securities are valued based on the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of recorded sales on their primary 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.
Fixed income securities are valued on the basis of current market quotations provided by a pricing service. 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.
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.
www.bridgeway.com | 104 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | ||
December 31, 2014 (Unaudited) |
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, prepayment 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.
The Dreyfus Cash Management Fund, which is held by each 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 results of the Funds’ 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, 2014 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, 2014, 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
105 | Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2014 (Unaudited) |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | ||
December 31, 2014 (Unaudited) |
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, 2014:

Excess of collateral received from an individual counterparty is not shown here 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, 2014 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 on the date of the financial statements and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on 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.

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, 2014, 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 that 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 decline. All options were listed on exchanges and considered liquid positions with readily available market quotes. Transactions in options written during the period ended December 31, 2014 are as follows:

The Aggressive Investors 1 Fund had no transactions in written options during the period ended December 31, 2014.
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.
Small-Cap Growth and Small-Cap Value: A total advisory fee is paid by each 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 annual rate of 0.60% of the value of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Performance Adjustment equals 0.33% times the difference in cumulative total return between the Fund and the Russell 2000 Growth Index for Small-Cap Growth Fund and the Russell 2000 Value Index for Small-Cap Value Fund, with dividends reinvested (hereinafter “Index”) over a rolling five-year performance period. The Performance Adjustment Rate varies from a minimum of -0.05% to a maximum of +0.05%. However, the Performance Adjustment Rate is zero if the difference between the cumulative Fund’s performance and the Index performance is less than or equal to 2%.
Large-Cap Growth: 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 annual rate of 0.50% of the value of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The retainer is paid in quarterly installments. Independent Directors are paid $6,250 per meeting for meeting fees.

The difference between book and tax components of net assets and the resulting reclassifications were primarily a result of the differing book/tax treatment of the deduction of equalization debits for tax purposes, redesignation of dividends paid and investments in real estate investment trusts, business development companies, grantor trusts and passive foreign investment companies (PFICs).
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 17, 2015. Advances under the Facility are limited to $15,000,000 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.

At December 31, 2014, Ultra-Small Company and Blue Chip 35 Index had loans outstanding in the amounts of $648,000 and $4,336,000, respectively.
8. Redemption Fees
In Ultra-Small Company Market and Small-Cap Momentum Funds, a 2% redemption fee may be charged on shares held less than six months. 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.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES |

December 31, 2014 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you will incur no transaction costs from such Fund, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends or on other distributions. 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, 2014 and held until December 31, 2014.
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)
December 31, 2014
Dear Fellow Omni Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our Fund appreciated 5.22%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (+9.40%).
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2014, total returns were -3.01% for the Fund and 0.01% for the Russell 2000 Value Index.
For the calendar year, total returns were 0.81% for the Fund and 4.22% for the Russell 2000 Value Index.
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.

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, 2014, Omni Small-Cap Value Fund ranked 243rd of 295 small-cap value funds for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014 and 60th of 244 such funds since inception in August, 2011.

Omni Small-Cap Value Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (continued) |
(Unaudited)
Omni Small-Cap Value Fund vs. Russell 2000 Value Index
from Inception 8/31/11 to 12/31/14
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, 2014, we held 614 such stocks in a market cap-weighted style. We make no attempt to track any particular index in either performance or statistics.
The Fund’s investment in deeper value and smaller cap stocks generally detracted from performance. The Financials sector was the Fund’s strongest performing sector, contributing 4.48% to the Fund’s quarterly total return. The Energy sector was the laggard, detracting -5.86% from the Fund’s quarterly return as small cap stocks were hit particularly hard in the severe oil price decline.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
Our exposure to smaller cap size and deeper value detracted from our relative performance for the year. Relative to its primary market benchmark, the Fund was overweighted in the Energy sector, which did not perform well for the year, detracting from absolute and relative returns. By design, Utility sector stocks and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), both strong performers for the calendar year, are not held in the Fund, which hurt our relative 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, 2014, 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,

December 31, 2014
Dear Fellow Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, our Fund appreciated 5.45%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (+9.40%).
For the six-month “semi-annual” period ending December 31, 2014, total returns were -3.57% for the Fund and 0.01% for the Russell 2000 Value Index.
For the calendar year, total returns were 0.44% for the Fund and 4.22% for the Russell 2000 Value Index.
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 and the graph on the next page 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 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, 2014, Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund ranked 250th of 295 small-cap value funds for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014 and 113th of 225 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 MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (continued) |
(Unaudited)
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund vs. Russell 2000 Value Index
from Inception 12/31/10 to 12/31/14
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, 2014, we held 597 such stocks in a market cap-weighted style. We make no attempt to track any particular index in either performance or statistics.
The Fund’s investment in deeper value and smaller cap stocks generally detracted from the Fund’s performance. The Financials sector was the Fund’s strongest performing sector, contributing 4.86% to the Fund’s quarterly total return. The Energy sector was the laggard, detracting -5.39% from the Fund’s quarterly return as small cap stocks were hit particularly hard in the severe oil price decline.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
Our exposure to smaller cap size and deeper value detracted from our relative performance for the year. Relative to its primary market benchmark, the Fund was overweighted in the Energy sector, which did not perform well for the year, detracting from absolute and relative returns. By design, Utility sector stocks and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), both strong performers for the calendar year, are not held in the Fund, which hurt our relative 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, 2014, 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, 2014 (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, 2014 (each is referred to as 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, 2014, 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 and Other Investments Valuation Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price on the national exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. In the case of securities reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“NASDAQ”) system, the securities are valued based on the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. 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, 2014 (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, prepayment 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.
The Dreyfus Cash Management Fund, which is held by the Funds, 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 Funds’ 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 results of the Funds’ 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, 2014 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, 2014, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
December 31, 2014 (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, 2014:
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 | Net Amount | ||||||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value | ||||||||||||||||||
Securities lending | $15,981,670 | - | $15,981,670 | - | $15,981,670 | - | ||||||||||||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | ||||||||||||||||||
Securities lending | $13,989,056 | - | $13,989,056 | - | $13,989,056 | - |
1 | Collateral with a value of $16,705,786 and $14,548,780 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, 2014, 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 on the date of the financial statements and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
December 31, 2014 (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, 2014. 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 12/31/14 | ||
Omni Small-Cap Value* | 0.60% | $208,931 | ||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value* | 0.60% | 225,129 | ||
*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, $367,842, and 208,931, which expire on June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016, June 30, 2017, and June 30, 2018, respectively. The Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund has recoupable expenses of $243,003, $328,970, $382,335, and $225,129, which expire June 30, 2015, June 30, 2016, June 30, 2017, and June 30, 2018, respectively.
Other Related Party Transactions: The Bridgeway Funds will engage in inter-portfolio trades with other Bridgeway 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, 2014 were as follows:
Bridgeway Fund | Inter-Portfolio Purchases | Inter-Portfolio Sales | ||
Omni Small-Cap Value | $26,915,400 | $ 7,950,299 | ||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | 12,713,384 | 17,615,389 |
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, 2014, the allocation of this expense to the Omni Small-Cap Value and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Funds was $45,999 and $44,714, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

December 31, 2014 (Unaudited) |
Board of Directors Compensation Independent Directors are paid an annual retainer of $15,000, with an additional retainer of $5,000 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 $6,250 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, 2014 were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||||||||||||||||
U.S. Government | Other | U.S. Government | Other | |||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value | $ | - | $ | 123,233,411 | $ | - | $ | 62,243,723 | ||||||||||||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | - | 88,907,742 | - | 97,686,251 |
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, 2014, were as follows:
Omni Small-Cap Value | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | |||||||||
Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost) | $101,840,528 | $ 92,735,043 | ||||||||
Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value) | (26,400,455 | ) | (18,291,198 | ) | ||||||
Net unrealized appreciation | $ 75,440,073 | $ 74,443,845 | ||||||||
Cost of investments for income tax purposes | $399,800,473 | $339,347,675 |
The differences between book and tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are due to wash sale loss deferrals and basis adjustments on passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and business development companies.
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.

The tax character of the distributions paid by the Funds during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, are as follows:
Omni Small-Cap Value | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | |||||||||||||||||||
Year Ended June 30, 2014 | Year Ended June 30, 2013 | Year Ended June 30, 2014 | Year Ended June 30, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||

Total | $ | 23,483,831 | $ | 5,031,818 | $ | 12,880,916 | $ | 2,235,902 |
Components of Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) As of June 30, 2014, 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 | $ | 881,612 | $ | 767,355 | |||||||||||
Accumulated Net Realized Gain on Investments | 18,098,520 | 14,502,036 | |||||||||||||
Net Unrealized Appreciation of Investments | 96,369,695 | 99,295,454 | |||||||||||||
Total | $ | 115,349,827 | $ | 114,564,845 |
For the fiscal year June 30, 2014, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications to the accounts listed below:
Increase (Decrease) | |||||||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | ||||||||||||
Paid-in-Capital | $ | 1,161,727 | $ | 914,184 | |||||||||
Undistributed Net Investment Income | (172,224 | ) | (158,308 | ) | |||||||||
Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments | (989,503 | ) | (755,876 | ) |
The difference between book and tax components of net assets and the resulting reclassifications were primarily a result of the differing book/tax treatment of the deduction of equalization debits for tax purposes and investments in passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and business development companies.
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 17, 2015. Advances under the Facility are limited to $15,000,000 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
40 | Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2014 (Unaudited) |

|
| |
December 31, 2014 (Unaudited) |

As a shareholder of a Fund, you will incur no transaction costs from such Fund, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends, or on other distributions. There are no exchange fees. 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, 2014 and held until December 31, 2014.
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.
