LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM | |  |
June 30, 2015
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Performance was mixed across domestic equity markets during the June quarter and the twelve months ended June 30, 2015. 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 fiscal year. We hope you find the letters helpful.
“Is Investing a Science?” On page 2, Dr. Andrew L. Berkin, Bridgeway’s Director of Research, and noted evidence-based investor Larry Swedroe answer that question and share the application of the scientific method to our investment process.
In our December 2014 semi-annual report, we kicked off a series on factors that drive the risk and returns of stocks. Continuing the series, this report examines an important individual factor. Turn to page 3 to read about “The Dangers of Data Mining and the Small-Cap Effect.”
Each fiscal year we commit to reporting to shareholders what we think is the worst thing that we experienced at Bridgeway during the year. As a shareholder, you are an owner, and we think we owe it to you to tell you not only the good stuff, but also when things do not go well. After a long period of consideration, we decided that discontinuing IRA fee waivers for direct accounts was the worst thing from the past year. Details are on page 5.
One of the strongest parts of our culture is a commitment to community and world change. On page 5, Bridgeway’s Chief Compliance Officer, Linda Giuffré, inspires you to recognize and live into your individual giftedness.
On May 31, 2015, Bridgeway announced the departure of Michael D. Mulcahy, President of Bridgeway Capital Management and Bridgeway Funds. See page 6 for more information on the transition.
As always, we appreciate your feedback. We take your comments 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
Performance across the domestic equity markets was mixed for the June 2015 quarter, with smaller and more growth-oriented companies leading the way. The quarter ended with the S&P 500 up 0.28% and the Dow down 0.29%. For the fiscal year, the S&P and Dow were up 7.42% and 7.21%, respectively.
Returns across U.S. equity style boxes, as defined by Morningstar, were mixed for the quarter. Small-cap growth stocks led the way, up 1.98%, while small-cap value stocks lagged, down 1.20%. Growth outperformed value, and investors favored small-cap stocks over large-cap stocks.
Sector performance for the S&P 500 Index was positive in the second quarter. Information Technology led the way, gaining more than 19%, followed by Financials, up more than 16%, and Health Care, up more than 15%. The laggards, relatively speaking, were Materials, Utilities and Telecommunication Services (up 2%).
Following are the stock market style box returns from Morningstar for the quarter and fiscal year.
Is Investing a Science?
by Dr. Andrew L. Berkin, Director of Research, and Larry E. Swedroe, Director of Research, The BAM Alliance
You’re probably familiar with the phrase, “Past performance does not guarantee future results.” This statement, or one like it, is found on almost all mutual fund materials given out to individual investors. And for good reason: Returns of asset classes can vary dramatically from quarter to quarter and year to year. Yet, investors are tempted to read too much into past performance because they’re looking for greater certainty about the results of their investing strategy. Wouldn’t it be great if investing could be distilled into a set of laws that govern results in a predictable fashion, similar to what happens in the hard sciences such as chemistry or physics?
Unfortunately, investing is not a science — at least not in the sense of the natural or physical sciences. Scientific phenomena are governed by the rules of nature (think Newton’s Universal Law of Gravity), which don’t change. Investing is contaminated by the complicated interactions of investors. This is why science has laws, while investing has hypotheses and models.
However, even if investing isn’t a science, we can address some of its uncertainty by applying the scientific method to our investment approach. The scientific method is a system for answering questions about the world through careful observations and rigorous experiments. The basic steps of the scientific method include asking a question, doing background research, constructing a hypothesis, testing that hypothesis, analyzing the data and then sharing the results.
Scientists conduct research in this fashion in order to reach objective conclusions based on the evidence. While scientists may follow their intuition when first developing a hypothesis, the framework for testing those hypotheses is entirely objective. In a similar fashion, going by your gut instinct isn’t enough when analyzing investments; you need objective testing and analysis to gain confidence that your hypothesis is correct.
| | |
LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued) | |  |
For instance, we might start our scientific investigation by asking which investment strategy has the highest odds of successfully achieving our goals with the least amount of risk. Our next step would be to research the current thinking around the question and develop a hypothesis about what helps drive investment results. That hypothesis then needs to be tested, which we can do through careful analysis of existing financial data. Ultimately, this research will generate a conclusion that we can communicate to our peers for review and criticism. If the result holds up to this scrutiny, we now have a model that can give us greater confidence in our investing decisions.
Value investing is a great example of how the scientific method influenced investment strategy. Investing legend Benjamin Graham touted the benefits of value investing as far back as the 1930s, but there was no evidence to explain the value effect. Even the development of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in the 1960s could not explain this effect. But in the early 1990s, economists Eugene Fama and Kenneth French used a systematic approach to show that the value effect existed in U.S. market data dating back to the 1960s. Further, they proposed that the higher returns offered by value stocks were a reward for bearing risk.
Their work received much interest — and much criticism. So the authors, together with Jim Davis, analyzed data going back even further and found that the same effect persisted all the way back to 1927. What’s more, the value effect held true even when they looked internationally across different stock markets. This rigorous and continued application of the scientific method has shown the value premium to be both persistent and pervasive, and the Fama-French model has continued to hold up more than 20 years after its initial publication.
Of course, there are no guarantees in investing. But applying the scientific method has helped us move investing away from the anecdotal and into the realm of evidence-based analysis. We may never be able to predict the future of financial markets, but we can continue to conduct research that increases our understanding of likely results and their potential variability. That, in turn, can give us the greatest possible confidence in the outcome of our investments.
Understanding Factors: The Dangers of Data Mining and the Small-Cap Effect
by John Montgomery, Founder and Chief Investment Officer
In our 2014 semi-annual report, we began a series of articles to explore the phenomenon of investment factors, the underlying characteristics or attributes that drive the returns of a group of stocks. Given Bridgeway’s commitment to evidence-based and statistically driven investing, factors are a key piece of our investing strategy.
In this article, we begin examining some of the most important individual factors. But before we do that, we want to explain how researchers identify a factor — and why we believe factors can play a key role when designing investment portfolios.
Researchers investigating factors perform sophisticated analysis of financial data to identify underlying causes of market behavior. Data is wonderful. It helps us take the subjective and — this is huge — the emotional component out of investing. But there’s also a risk in doing this research: If you have enough data with enough potential variables, you’ll always find something that seems to explain outcomes, no matter how spurious the connection.
Given the huge amounts of market data available, you can find some pretty wild examples of these bogus correlations. A famous study by financial researcher and quantitative money manager David Leinweber might be the most absurd: He was able to show how annual butter production in Bangladesh, cheese production in the United States, and the sheep population of both countries almost completely explained the returns of the S&P 500 over an historical period.
Is there really any relationship between those factors and the market’s returns? Of course not! That’s the risk of this kind of hyper-selective data analysis, which is called data mining. While the study was meant as a humorous example of the dangers of data mining (its title is “Stupid Data Miner Tricks: Overfitting the S&P 500”), it was nonetheless taken seriously by some.
One way we guard against data mining is by making sure there is an underlying economic reason that potentially explains the performance of a factor. In many cases, these reasons are related to the risk of the asset — as is the case with one of the most well-established factors, small size.
| | |
3 | | Annual Report | June 30, 2015 |
| | |
LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued) | |  |
The small-size factor, also known as the small-cap effect, refers to the historically strong returns offered by shares of small companies. Since 1926, small-cap stocks have generated an average annual return of 12.2%, compared to a 10.1% average annual return for large-cap stocks.
What’s more, the small-cap effect becomes more pronounced as the size of the company decreases. The Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) divides all stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange into 10 deciles based on company market capitalization. Decile 1 includes the largest of all companies, while decile 10 represents the smallest of small-cap stocks, known as ultra-small companies. Looking back to 1926 again, we find that the ultra-small stocks in CRSP decile 10 have delivered a 13.5% average annual return.
So, historical data shows that small-cap stocks outperform large cap stocks, and ultra-small stocks outperform both. But next we have to ask ourselves whether the data makes sense — or whether we happen to have stumbled into a spurious relationship that is unlikely to be repeated in the future.
In this case, we can find a good reason to explain performance. Small companies tend to be riskier than larger companies. They often are less established, with smaller product lines and fewer economic resources than larger companies. Their management teams may be untested. For investors to assume the risk of investing in these companies, they naturally would expect a higher potential return. After all, if I could get the same returns from a company like Apple or Procter & Gamble — one that is almost certainly not going out of business in the next 12 months — I’d have no reason to invest in these untested, riskier shares. Looking at it another way, a significantly higher percentage of smaller companies go bankrupt. Wouldn’t most investors demand a higher return for a company with a higher chance of going out of business and losing all of the capital invested?
I believe strongly that smaller companies are riskier and therefore, as a group, should give investors a higher potential return, which makes me much more confident in the data behind the small-cap effect. But this supposition is also another potential weakness: Once I’ve formed an opinion, I run the risk of paying attention only to data that supports what I already believe. This phenomenon is well documented in the book, The Honest Truth About Dishonesty by Dan Ariely. People tend to filter out information that contradicts their beliefs.
To protect against this natural and widespread kind of human bias, Bridgeway plays the skeptic in our own research efforts. When someone on our research team reaches a conclusion, the rest of us ask ourselves how we might have blown it by not looking hard enough for contradictory data. This question usually sends us deeper into the data in order to corroborate our findings. We apply the same research to market data from a different time period than the first sample, or to data from multiple countries, to confirm that the factor we’ve identified shows up in every case. We look at the consistency of the statistical relationship over time. We expend significant research resources to guard against the potential problems of data mining.
Besides building our confidence in the validity of a factor, this additional research gives us a deeper understanding of how that factor works and how it can fit in an investment strategy. For example, we know from researching the persistence of the small-cap effect that the premium doesn’t always show up over short-term cycles. In some years, larger stocks beat small caps, and small caps can even lag larger company stocks over the course of an entire decade, as shown in the table below. The highest return for each period is highlighted.

This data tells us two things. First, investors seeking the higher returns of small-cap stocks should have a long investing time horizon — preferably one lasting multiple decades. If they do, their probability of reaping the benefits of this single factor increases.
Second, to achieve even more consistency in an investment portfolio, we need to look for other factors that might work at different times. The process of constructing portfolios with strong factor exposure and diversification is where our research team spends a significant amount of its time and efforts.
We’ll examine this process in future articles in this series, while also looking at the characteristics of additional factors. The key to successful factor investing is not just identifying individual factors. You also must understand how different factors interact, so that you can combine them into an investment model that offers better odds of achieving your objectives.
Worst Thing of the Fiscal Year
Bridgeway is committed to transparency with our shareholders. That’s why we set aside a portion of each annual report to discuss the worst thing that happened during the fiscal year. In the past, these “worst things” have included problems with our Funds, market factors beyond our control, operational mistakes and even the loss of a partner.
Fortunately, we didn’t experience major setbacks like those during this fiscal year. However, we did have to make a difficult business decision that will impact our shareholders: Bridgeway Capital Management will no longer be absorbing an IRA account maintenance fee for direct shareholders who hold funds in their retirement accounts. Instead, our IRA account holders now will pay this annual $15 maintenance fee themselves. This increase in costs for some shareholders is the worst thing of the past year, because...we just don’t like the thought of any rising costs.
A little background: IRA account maintenance fees are standard in the industry. BNY Mellon, Bridgeway’s transfer agent and custodian for our Funds, charges this fee on all other IRA accounts. But when we launched Bridgeway Funds in 1994, our goal was to minimize the barriers that prevented people from investing toward their long-term goals. In that spirit, we decided to cover IRA account maintenance fees, rather than passing them along to our shareholders. Our change of plan is due to the following; we believe there are more powerful ways to devote adviser resources to keep costs lean: transaction costs (cost of buying and selling shares), selective Fund reimbursements, income to offset expenses (such as securities lending), and managing Fund operating expenses. We hope you understand and agree. As always, we appreciate your feedback and want to hear from you.

LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued) | |  |
During the annual Bridgeway retreat in November of last year, we participated in an all-day leadership session led by Ann McGee-Cooper and Associates, focused on their book titled “Leading Through Your Genius: The Amazing and Extraordinary Me.” The session was based on the idea that we all have natural gifts, such as the ability to lead or a particular aptitude for creativity. But harnessing these gifts and living up to our potential takes courage.
These gifts come naturally to us, as opposed to the skills that we must work hard to develop. And because they come naturally to us, we often don’t recognize them as gifts — they simply aren’t noteworthy to us. Yet, we owe it to ourselves and others to recognize and accept our gifts. Then we can find opportunities to use our gifts constructively.
If your gifts align with the job you’ve chosen, embracing them will probably make you happier and more effective — which will likely translate into more positive energy for the people around you. If your gifts fall outside of your workplace duties, then look for ways to incorporate those gifts into other activities in your life. This might be a personal pursuit, or it could involve volunteering with an organization whose needs align with your gifts.
As leaders we can provide a supportive environment that encourages others to embrace their gifts. It takes courage to recognize and accept your gifts, but doing so can help you achieve greater satisfaction in your life, while helping you improve the lives of those around you.
Leadership Transition
We consider it a privilege to serve our shareholders, and we seek to keep you abreast of changes at Bridgeway. Effective May 31, 2015, Michael D. Mulcahy left Bridgeway Capital Management and his role as president of Bridgeway Capital Management and Bridgeway Funds to pursue an entrepreneurial aspiration to serve families in wealth management and philanthropy at his newly created firm.
In 2008, the Board of each of Bridgeway Capital Management and Bridgeway Funds developed a succession plan that has since been reviewed. Per our succession plan, John Montgomery stepped back into the role of President of Bridgeway Capital Management and Bridgeway Funds effective, May 31. John and other members of our senior leadership team will be assuming Mike’s responsibilities in the short-term, while we take this opportunity to consider our long-term needs.
Bridgeway has a strong, experienced team, and business functions and client relationships will continue and thrive. We wish Mike the best in his new venture. We look forward to continuing to provide a high level of service for our clients, and to the great opportunities ahead for Bridgeway.

Aggressive Investors 1 Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |

Aggressive Investors 1 Fund vs. S&P 500 Index, Russell 2000 Index & Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index
from Inception 8/5/94 to 6/30/15

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
In a quarter when ultra-large and small-cap stocks outperformed large- and mid-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. Additionally, the company financial health category of models lagged the market, detracting from the Fund’s relative performance.
The Fund’s sector allocation, which is an outcome of statistical analysis of company-level fundamentals and not any macroeconomic or sector view, contributed slightly to our relative returns. Health Care sector holdings contributed the most to relative performance, while the holdings in the Industrials sector detracted from relative performance.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
For the fiscal year, large-cap stocks outperformed small- and mid-cap stocks. As a result, our Fund’s “all-cap” design had a negative impact on our relative performance versus the larger S&P 500 Index. Additionally, holdings selected by our diversifying value metrics models lagged the index.
Overall, the Fund’s sector allocation versus its primary benchmark index slightly diminished relative performance. Overweighting in the lagging Energy, Industrials and Materials sectors detracted from performance. However, despite being underweighted in the best performing Health Care sector during a portion of the year, the Fund’s holdings in this sector outperformed the index, contributing to relative performance.
In the 2015 fiscal year, the Fund’s use of derivatives, options specifically, had an insignificant impact on Fund 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, June 30, 2015, 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. 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. Higher relative exposure to stocks that have outgrown the CRSP 10 size cutoff — ones that we don’t sell immediately in order to keep Fund turnover low — detracted from the Fund’s relative performance, as these holdings did not perform as well as the overall market for such market caps.
Our company financial health and value metrics categories of models underperformed versus the benchmark, which hurt our performance. With regard to sectors, holdings within the Energy and Industrials sectors detracted the most from our relative performance.

Ultra-Small Company Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
For the fiscal 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, Fund holdings that have outgrown the CRSP 10 size cutoff — ones that we don’t sell immediately in order to keep Fund turnover low — contributed to underperformance. Additionally, ultra-small stocks with highest liquidity hurt the Fund’s relative returns for the year.
Our diversifying value metrics models lagged the benchmark the most, while company financial health and momentum categories also underperformed. With regard to sectors, holdings within the Energy, Health Care and Industrials sectors contributed the most to the Fund’s underperformance.

| | |
Ultra-Small Company Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
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

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
Our Fund lagged its primary benchmark, the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index, for the quarter. 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 it outgrows the CRSP 10 (ultra-small) size threshold. While a majority of the Fund’s assets are ultra-small, holdings in slightly larger-cap stocks detracted from the Fund’s relative performance, as these holdings did not perform as well as the overall market for such market caps.
On a positive note, 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, performed favorably this quarter. Additionally, an underweighted position in the lagging Energy sector compared to our benchmark helped the Fund’s relative performance.
The table below presents index performance numbers of stocks in the different deciles for various time periods.

Ultra-Small Company Market Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
Our Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index, for the fiscal year. Our strategy of avoiding a relatively small percentage of stocks that can be very damaging in downturns, as well as our strategy of not immediately selling stocks that outgrow the CRSP 10 size of ultra-small stocks, added to our relative performance for the fiscal year. Additionally, the Fund benefited from an underweighted position in the Energy sector, one of the worst performing sectors. 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, June 30, 2015, 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.

For the fiscal year, our Fund appreciated 4.54%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Index (+6.49%).
The table below presents our June quarter, one-year, five-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

Small-Cap Momentum Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Small-Cap Momentum Fund vs. Russell 2000 Index
from Inception 5/28/10 to 6/30/15

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
Our Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. Price momentum was a favorable factor for the quarter, contributing positively to our Fund. Additionally, the Fund’s risk-adjustment overlay feature worked well this quarter. We are pleased with the Fund’s performance in line with Fund design.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
For the fiscal year, the momentum factor did not perform well for small-cap stocks, and momentum holdings lagged the Russell 2000 Index. Additionally, the risk-adjustment overlay feature further diminished our 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, June 30, 2015, 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, |

Dear Fellow Small-Cap Growth Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, our Fund appreciated 3.67%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (+1.98%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (+1.71%). It was a good quarter.
For the fiscal year, our Fund appreciated 13.41%, beating the Russell 2000 Growth Index (+12.34%), and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (+9.63%). It was a good year for the Fund, but we are still lagging in the longer five-year, 10-year, and inception-to-date periods.

Small-Cap Growth Fund vs. Russell 2000 Growth Index & Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index
from Inception 10/31/03 to 6/30/15

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
Our Fund outperformed its primary benchmark for the quarter. Positioning toward smaller market cap stocks helped our Fund, as did our diversifying value metrics and momentum models. Holdings in the Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors contributed nicely to our relative performance.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
Our core company financial health models performed quite well relative to our primary index, while our diversifying value metrics and momentum models lagged the index.

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, June 30, 2015, 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

Small-Cap Value Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2015
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, our Fund declined 1.02%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (-1.20%), but underperforming our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index (-0.46%). This was a mixed quarter on a relative basis.
For the fiscal year, our Fund declined 2.10%, trailing both of our benchmarks. We are leading our primary market benchmark and peer benchmark in the longer five-year period, but we are still lagging our primary and peer benchmarks in the 10-year and inception-to-date periods.
The table below presents our June quarter, one-year, five-year, 10-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

Small-Cap Value Fund | | -1.02% | | -2.10% | | 15.60% | | 6.48% | | 7.78% | |
Russell 2000 Value Index | | -1.20% | | 0.78% | | 14.81% | | 6.87% | | 8.46% | |
Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index | | -0.46% | | -0.22% | | 14.64% | | 7.55% | | 9.02% | |
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 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. The Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index is an index of small-company, value-oriented funds compiled by Lipper, Inc. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.
According to data from Lipper, Inc. as of June 30, 2015, Small-Cap Value Fund ranked 249th of 312 small-cap value funds for the 12 months ending June 30, 2015, 94th of 217 over the last five years, 120th of 150 over the last 10 years, and 95th of 111 such funds since inception in October 2003.

Small-Cap Value Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Small-Cap Value Fund vs. Russell 2000 Value Index & Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index
from Inception 10/31/03 to 6/30/15

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Fund’s exposure to smaller market cap stocks and investment in deeper value stocks across multiple value metrics worked well this quarter, adding to relative performance versus our benchmark. Our company financial health models also performed well, while our overall value metrics and momentum models lagged. The Consumer Discretionary sector had the best relative performance.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
The Fund’s exposure to deeper value and more volatile stocks contributed to the Fund’s underperformance for the fiscal year. Our company financial health models significantly lagged the primary benchmark performance, while our diversifying momentum models did well versus the benchmark. Our Energy sector holdings were hit hard during the year and detracted the most from our Fund’s absolute return. Overweighting in the Energy sector during a portion of the year and holdings in the Energy and Health Care sectors hurt the Fund’s 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, June 30, 2015, 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

Large-Cap Growth Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2015
Dear Fellow Large-Cap Growth Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, our Fund declined 0.84%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+0.12%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index (+0.94%). It was a poor quarter.
For the fiscal year, our Fund was up 16.19%, beating our primary market benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (+10.56%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index (+10.56%). 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 10-year and inception-to-date periods.
The table below presents our June quarter, one-year, five-year, 10-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

Large-Cap Growth Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Large-Cap Growth Fund vs. Russell 1000 Growth Index & Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index
from Inception 10/31/03 to 6/30/15

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
Stocks at the very largest end of the size spectrum performed the best within the large-cap universe for the quarter. The Fund’s non-market-cap weighted design, which gives us more exposure to smaller companies within the large-cap universe of stocks, hurt relative returns versus the Russell 1000 Growth Index. With respect to our models, our company financial health models performance was mixed, our diversifying value metrics models generally lagged for the quarter, while our diversifying momentum models performed well.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, for the fiscal year. Although the Fund’s non-market-cap weighted design hurt relative returns, performance was boosted by strong performance by our company financial health and diversifying momentum models. Strong stock selection in the Health Care, Industrials and Information Technology sectors also contributed to the Fund’s outperformance.

Blue Chip 35 Index Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2015
Dear Fellow Blue Chip 35 Index Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, our Fund appreciated 1.11%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+0.28%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (-0.07%), but trailing the Russell Top
50 Mega Cap Index (+1.47%). It was a good quarter on a relative basis.
For the fiscal year, our Fund was up 5.77%, trailing our primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+7.42%), and the Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index (+7.37%). Our Fund beat our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (+5.25%).
The table below presents our June quarter, one-year, five-year, 10-year, 15-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 comprising very large, “blue chip” U.S. stocks, excluding tobacco companies; 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 June 30, 2015, Blue Chip 35 Index Fund ranked 484th of 845 large-cap core funds for the 12 months ending June 30, 2015, 300th of 690 over the last five years, 153rd of 492 over the last 10 years, and 47th of 175 since inception in July 1997. Lipper, Inc. is an independent mutual fund rating service that ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.

Blue Chip 35 Index Fund vs. S&P 500 Index, Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index, Bridgeway Ultra-Large 35 Index & Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index from Inception 7/31/97 to 6/30/15

Quarterly and Fiscal Year Performance by Company Size:
As demonstrated in the table below, ultra-large stocks (decile 1), the substance of our Fund, performed better than other large-cap stocks for the quarter. This provided a considerable advantage over the S&P 500 Index, which includes smaller sized large-cap stocks.
Momentum was a strong factor for the fiscal year, which hurt our Fund’s performance relative to its market-cap weighted benchmark. By design, the Fund is “roughly equally weighted.” In order to achieve a roughly equal weighting, additional weight is given to the stocks with the greatest decline in price. By contrast, a market-cap weighted index gives more weight to stocks that have appreciated the most in price (i.e., experienced positive momentum). Thus, the market-cap weighted S&P 500 Index had an advantage in this fiscal year’s market environment.
While sector allocation was not a significant contributor to performance for the year, the Fund was overweighted in the lagging Energy sector and underweighted in the strongly performing Health Care sector.
The table below presents index performance numbers of stocks in the different deciles for various time periods.

Managed Volatility Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2015
Dear Fellow Managed Volatility Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, our Fund declined 1.27%, lagging our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+0.28%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (-0.41%), and the fixed income-only Bloomberg/EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (+0.13%). Performance for the quarter was poor. This was only the third quarter in our 14-year history that the Fund’s performance was negative while the S&P 500 Index was positive. Fortunately, the decline was small, and as always, we caution against focusing on short-term performance – good or bad.
For the fiscal year, our Fund returned 0.92%, trailing the S&P 500 Index (+7.42%) and the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (+3.11%), but outperforming the fixed income-only Bloomberg/ EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (+0.88%). The fiscal year return was also poor, relative to the S&P 500 Index. This was only the second time in our 14-year history that we captured so little (12.46%) of the S&P 500’s return in an up market; the other was the 2010 fiscal year, when we captured only 11.59% of the upside.
The table below presents our June quarter, one-year, five-year, 10-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | |  |
June 30, 2015
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 June 30, 2015 (each is referred to as a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The 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 June 30, 2015, 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”). Each Fund is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
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 (“NOCP”). 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015
Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
When market quotations are not readily available or when events occur that make established valuation methods unreliable, securities of the Funds may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The valuation assigned to a fair valued security for purposes of calculating the Funds’ NAVs may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.
The inputs and valuation techniques used to determine the value of a Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
• | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and whose values are therefore classified as Level 1 prices, include active listed equity securities. The Funds do not adjust the quoted price for such investments, even in situations where the Funds hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
• | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, 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 June 30, 2015 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 year ended June 30, 2015, the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund transferred a security with a value of $436,985 from Level 1 to Level 2 as of the end of the period due to the market becoming inactive. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in any of the other Funds. Details regarding transfers into, and transfers out of, Level 3 can be found at the end of each Schedule of Investments for Funds that held Level 3 securities.

Securities Lending Upon lending its securities to third parties, each Fund receives compensation in the form of fees. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to the fair value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. Each Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. Additionally, a Fund does not have the right to sell or re-pledge collateral received in the form of securities unless the borrower goes into default. The risks to a Fund of securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due, resulting in a loss. Under the terms of the Securities Lending Agreement, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by the securities lending agent.
While securities are on loan, the Fund continues to receive dividends on the securities loaned and recognizes any gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under a Securities Lending Agreement which provides the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral or to offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
The following table is a summary of the Funds’ securities loaned and related collateral which are subject to a netting agreement as of June 30, 2015:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015
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 June 30, 2015 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.
Distributions to Shareholders The Funds pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains annually, usually in December.
Derivatives
The Funds’ use of derivatives for the year ended June 30, 2015 was limited to futures contracts, purchased options, and written options. The following is a summary of how these derivatives are treated in the financial statements and their impact on the Funds, categorized by primary underlying risk.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |

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 June 30, 2015, 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 year ended June 30, 2015 are as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015
The Aggressive Investors 1 Fund had no transactions in written options during the year ended June 30, 2015.
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 when 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 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, net operating loss, distributions in excess of profits and investments in real estate investment trusts, business development companies, grantor trusts, partnerships 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.

4. Approval of Investment Management Agreement
The Bridgeway Funds, Inc.’s (the “Company”) management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with its investment adviser, Bridgeway Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), on behalf of each of the Company’s funds must be approved for an initial term no greater than two years and renewed at least annually thereafter (i) by the vote of the Directors or by a vote of the shareholders of each fund and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Directors who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” of any party thereto (the “Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called specifically for the purpose of voting on such approval.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has five regularly scheduled meetings each year and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on the approval of the Management Agreement. For example, the Board and its standing committees also consider at each meeting factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of each fund’s Management Agreement, including the services and support provided to each fund by the Adviser, the Adviser’s compliance program, comparative performance information for each fund, the risk assessment of the funds and “deep dives” on the strategy and performance of certain funds on a periodic basis. In addition, the Board receives updated financial information on the Adviser and updates related to strategic direction and marketing efforts between meetings from the Adviser.
On May 15, 2015, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, met in person (the “Meeting”) with the Adviser, Company counsel, independent legal counsel (“Independent Legal Counsel”) to the Independent Directors and others to give consideration to information bearing on the continuation of the Management Agreement with respect to the following funds: Aggressive Investors 1 Fund, Ultra-Small Company Fund, Ultra-Small Company Market Fund, Small-Cap Growth Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund, Large-Cap Growth Fund, Blue Chip 35 Index Fund, Managed Volatility Fund and Small-Cap Momentum Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). In preparation for the Meeting, the Independent Directors requested that the Adviser provide specific information relevant to their consideration of the renewal of each Fund’s Management Agreement. In response to that request, the Independent Directors were furnished with a wide variety of information with respect to each Fund, including:
| • | | investment performance over various time periods and the fees and expenses of each Fund as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “peer funds”); |
| • | | the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to each Fund, including investment advisory and administrative services; |
| • | | actual management fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser; |
| • | | the Adviser’s costs of providing services to each Fund and the profitability of the Adviser derived from its relationship with each Fund; |
| | |
119 | | Annual Report | June 30, 2015 |
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
| • | | the extent to which economies of scale may be present and if so, the degree to which they would be shared with the Fund’s shareholders; |
| • | | any “fall out” or ancillary benefits accruing to the Adviser as a result of its relationship with each Fund; and |
| • | | information regarding the structure of the advisory fees, the method of computing fees and the frequency of payment of fees and any expense limitation or fee waiver arrangements for each Fund. |
The Independent Directors also met telephonically with Independent Legal Counsel prior to the Meeting to review and discuss the information provided by the Adviser. Moreover, the Independent Directors also met in executive session with Independent Legal Counsel to consider the continuation of the Management Agreement outside the presence of management during the Meeting.
In considering the aforementioned information, the Independent Directors took into account management style, investment strategies and prevailing market conditions. Furthermore, in evaluating the Management Agreement, the Directors also reviewed information provided by the Adviser concerning the following:
| • | | the terms of the Management Agreement, including the services performed by the Adviser in managing each Fund in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions and how those services and fees differ from the Adviser’s services to non-mutual fund accounts, to the extent applicable; |
| • | | the services provided by the Adviser under a separate Administrative Services Agreement and the fact that those services were provided at approximately cost to the Funds, although it was noted the annual fee under the Administrative Services Agreement was proposed to be increased at the Meeting; |
| • | | the Adviser’s specialized skills and experience in statistical analysis and investment management and trading; |
| • | | the Adviser’s personnel, staffing levels and the time and attention the Adviser’s personnel devote to the management of the Funds as compared to other Adviser clients; |
| • | | the Adviser’s risk assessment and risk management capabilities; |
| • | | the fact that the Adviser continues to use no soft dollars; and |
| • | | the financial condition and stability of the Adviser, including supplemental financial information provided upon the request of the Independent Directors periodically during the year. |
In examining the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Independent Directors were pleased that the Funds continue to have access to the Adviser’s specialized skills and experience in statistical analysis and investment management and trading, and viewed those skills as relatively unique within the investment management industry. The Independent Directors were satisfied that staffing levels at the Adviser were adequate and appropriate in view of the Funds’ operations.
In examining investment performance, the Independent Directors reviewed performance information as of December 31, 2014 for each Fund and considered the following:
| • | | With regard to the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund, the Independent Directors noted that the Fund has outperformed its peer funds and benchmark index for the past three-year and five-year periods and has significantly outperformed its benchmark index since inception. |
| • | | With regard to the Ultra-Small Company Fund, the Independent Directors noted that the Fund has outperformed its peer funds and benchmark index for the past three-year period, outperformed its peers but lagged its benchmark index for the past five-year period and has significantly outperformed its benchmark index since inception. The |
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
Independent Directors also considered that the Fund’s performance has been negatively impacted by macro-driven markets but has performed well in the recent more favorable market environment.
| • | | With regard to the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund, the Independent Directors noted that the Fund has outperformed its peer funds and its benchmark index for the past three-year and five-year periods and slightly lagged its benchmark index since inception (although by less than the Fund’s expense ratio). |
| • | | With regard to the Small-Cap Growth Fund, the Independent Directors noted that: (i) the Fund has lagged its peer funds and benchmark index for the past five-year period and lagged its benchmark index since inception; and (ii) the Fund has outperformed its peers and benchmark index for the past three-year period. However, the Independent Directors also considered that the Fund’s performance has been negatively impacted by macro-driven markets and noted that the Adviser made some refinements to its investment process approximately three years ago and that the Adviser believes these refinements are having a positive impact on the Fund. |
| • | | With regard to the Small-Cap Value Fund, the Independent Directors noted that the Fund has outperformed its peer funds and benchmark index for the past three-year and five-year periods and has slightly lagged its benchmark index since inception. |
| • | | With regard to the Large-Cap Growth Fund, the Independent Directors noted that the Fund has outperformed its peer funds and benchmark index for the past three-year and five-year periods and has slightly lagged its benchmark index since inception. |
| • | | With regard to the Blue Chip 35 Index Fund, the Independent Directors noted that the Fund has lagged its peer funds and benchmark index for the past three-year and five-year periods and outperformed its benchmark index since inception. The Independent Directors also considered that the Blue Chip 35 Index Fund is a passively managed fund whose peer funds have a significantly lower average market capitalization and that this difference in average capitalization was the primary reason for the difference in performance compared to peer funds as well as its benchmark index. |
| • | | With regard to the Managed Volatility Fund, the Independent Directors noted that the Fund has lagged its peer funds and benchmark index for the three-year and five-year periods and lagged its benchmark index since inception. However, the Independent Directors also considered that in 10 out of 13 years since inception, the fund has captured at least 40% of the S&P 500 return in up years and 40% or less of the S&P 500 return in down years, which is consistent with the design of the Fund. |
| • | | With regard to the Small-Cap Momentum Fund, the Independent Directors noted that, during this Fund’s relatively short operating history, it has lagged its peer funds and benchmark index for the past one-year and three-year periods and has lagged its benchmark index since inception. The Independent Directors also considered that analysis performed by the Adviser indicates that performance is in line with the design of the fund but that it has been an extended unfavorable period for the risk-adjusted momentum approach used by this Fund. |
In examining fees and expenses, the Independent Directors considered the following:
| • | | With respect to the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund, the management fee is performance-based and adjusts higher or lower in a range in response to investment results. The Aggressive Investors 1 Fund’s management fee is higher than peer funds, partially due to the performance based portion. However, total expenses are significantly lower than peer funds. |
| • | | With respect to the Ultra-Small Company Fund, the management fee and total expenses are significantly lower than peer funds. |
| • | | With respect to the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund, the management fee and total expenses are significantly lower than peer funds. |
| | |
121 | | Annual Report | June 30, 2015 |
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
| • | | With respect to each of the Small-Cap Growth Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund and Large-Cap Growth Fund, the management fee is performance-based and adjusts higher or lower in a range in response to investment results. Each such Fund’s management fee and overall expenses were significantly lower than its respective peer funds. |
| • | | With respect to each of the Blue Chip 35 Index Fund, Managed Volatility Fund and Small-Cap Momentum Fund, the management fee and total expenses are significantly lower than their respective peer funds. |
In addition, the Independent Directors considered that the Adviser agreed to contractual expense limitation agreements for each of the Funds to ensure that total expense levels do not increase above certain levels. The Independent Directors also reviewed the fees the Adviser charged to other funds (for which the Adviser serves as subadviser) and separately managed accounts, as applicable, and evaluated the differences in fees and services provided to the Funds and such other separately managed accounts.
In examining profitability, the Independent Directors considered that the Adviser was operating some Funds at a loss, which negatively impacted the Adviser’s overall financial results. However, the Independent Directors also considered that the Adviser has significant financial resources to support ongoing operations and future growth despite currently operating some of the Funds at a loss and that the Adviser had experienced improved overall financial performance results in 2014 as compared to 2013.
With regard to economies of scale, the Independent Directors noted that the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund and Ultra-Small Company Fund each have fee breakpoints in their management fee schedules and that the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund is at a size currently to benefit from such breakpoints. The Independent Directors noted that although the Ultra-Small Company Fund is not currently at an asset level at which it can take advantage of the breakpoints contained in its fee schedule, the fee schedules is structured so that when the assets of the Fund increase, economies of scale may be shared for the benefit of shareholders. Although the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund does not have fee breakpoints in its management fee schedule, the Adviser represented that it believes that the Fund does not exhibit significant economies of scale because it involves intensive and time-consuming portfolio and trading management because trades are small and oftentimes less liquid, so they may take longer to execute. As a result, the Adviser indicated that an increase in assets of the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund does not necessarily lead to economies of scale. Although the Small-Cap Growth Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund, Large-Cap Growth Fund, Blue Chip 35 Index Fund, Managed Volatility Fund and Small-Cap Momentum Fund do not have fee breakpoints in their management fee schedules, the Adviser indicated that these Funds were priced low relative to peers and ahead of the economies of scale curve at launch. In view of asset sizes and fee structures, the Independent Directors were satisfied that shareholders were not missing the opportunity to benefit from economies of scale if they were available.
In terms of potential “fall out” or ancillary benefits to the Adviser due to its position as manager of the Funds, the Independent Directors noted that the Adviser continues to use no soft dollars and that its administrative services to the Funds are structured to approximate an at-cost relationship.
After extensive discussion and consideration among themselves, and with the Adviser, Company counsel and Independent Legal Counsel, including during an executive session with Independent Legal Counsel outside the presence of management, the Independent Directors concluded the following:
| • | | the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services were appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Management Agreement and mutual fund industry norms; |
| • | | the investment performance of each Fund was either acceptable or better or subject to reasonable steps by the Adviser to monitor or address underperformance; |
| • | | the management fees and overall expense levels, after taking into account any applicable management fee and expense waivers, were reasonable; |
| • | | the costs of services provided by the Adviser to each Fund were fair and reasonable in relation to the services and benefits provided to each Fund; and |
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
| • | | the shareholders of each Fund have appropriately benefitted from economies of scale, either directly through expense caps, fee waivers and/or breakpoints, or were not missing the opportunity to benefit from economies of scale in view of asset sizes and fee structures. |
Based on all relevant information and factors, the Board, including a majority of its Independent Directors, unanimously approved the renewal of the Management Agreement with respect to each Fund. In view of the broad scope and variety of factors and information, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance in reaching their conclusions and determinations to approve the continuance of the Management Agreement for each Fund. Rather, the approval determinations were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken in their entirety.

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 January 1, 2015 and held until June 30, 2015.
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.

Market Review
Performance across domestic equity markets was mixed for the June 2015 quarter. Broad market returns for the quarter were up slightly, 0.14% as represented by the Russell 3000 Index.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, broad market stocks were up 7.29%, as represented by the Russell 3000 Index. Returns among growth stocks outperformed value stocks across the market cap spectrum. Small-cap growth stocks led the way, up 12.34%, followed by large-cap growth stocks, up 10.56%.
The following table presents returns for broad market, small-cap, mid-cap, and large-cap stocks, as represented by various style-based Russell Indexes. Size (market capitalization) and style (value/growth) are among the key factors that drive differences in returns among U.S. stocks.

Russell 2000 Value Index | | | -1.20 | % | | | 0.78 | % | | 15.24% |

Omni Small-Cap Value Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Omni Small-Cap Value Fund vs. Russell 2000 Value Index
from Inception 8/31/11 to 6/30/15

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 June 30, 2015, 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.
Our design tilt toward deeper value and smaller stocks contributed positively to relative performance. By design, the Fund does not hold Utility sector stocks or Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Those assets had weak relative returns during the quarter, which helped the Fund’s relative performance. Our Fund’s higher weighting in Financial sector stocks other than REITs contributed to relative returns, while holdings in the Energy sector had a negative effect.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
Our Fund’s investment in deeper value stocks versus the Index detracted from our relative performance for the fiscal year. Our Fund’s overweighted position in the Energy sector also hurt performance, as Energy was the worst performing sector 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, June 30, 2015, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly impact short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole.
Conclusion
Thank you for your continued investment in Omni Small-Cap Value Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2015
Dear Fellow Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, our Fund declined 0.41%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (-1.20%).
For the fiscal year, our Fund declined 1.62%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (+0.78%).
The table below presents our June quarter, one-year and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.
Standardized Returns as of June 30, 2015
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | Annualized |
| | Quarter | | | 1 Year | | | Since Inception (12/31/10) |
| | | |
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund | | | -0.41 | % | | | -1.62 | % | | 11.29% |
Russell 2000 Value Index | | | -1.20 | % | | | 0.78 | % | | 10.64% |
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 June 30, 2015, Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund ranked 247th of 312 small-cap value funds for the 12 months ending June 30, 2015 and 110th of 233 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 (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund vs. Russell 2000 Value Index
from Inception 12/31/10 to 6/30/15

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 June 30, 2015, we held 637 such stocks in a market-cap weighted style. We make no attempt to track any particular index in either performance or statistics.
Our design tilt toward deeper value and smaller stocks contributed positively to relative performance. By design, the Fund does not hold Utility sector stocks or Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Those assets had weak relative returns during the quarter, which helped the Fund’s relative performance. Our Fund’s higher weighting in Financial sector stocks other than REITs contributed to relative returns, while holdings in the Energy sector had a negative effect.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
Our Fund’s investment in deeper value stocks versus the Index detracted from our relative performance for the fiscal year. Our Fund’s overweight position in the Energy sector also hurt performance, as Energy was the worst performing sector 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, June 30, 2015, 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 | |  |
June 30, 2015
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 June 30, 2015 (each is referred to as a “Bridgeway Fund” and collectively, the “Bridgeway Funds”). The 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 June 30, 2015, 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”). Each Fund is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
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 (“NOCP”). In the absence of recorded sales on their home exchange, or NOCP, in the case of NASDAQ traded securities, the security will be valued as follows: bid prices for long positions and ask prices for short positions.
Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
When market quotations are not readily available or when events occur that make established valuation methods unreliable, securities of the Funds may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The valuation assigned to a fair valued security for purposes of calculating the Funds’ NAV may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs.

36 | | Annual Report | June 30, 2015 |
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015
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 June 30, 2015 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 year ended June 30, 2015, 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) | |  |
June 30, 2015
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 June 30, 2015:

1 | Securities loaned with a value of $252,614 in Omni Tax-Managed Small Cap Value have been sold and are pending settlement on July 1, 2015. |
2 | Collateral with a value of $16,484,499 and $18,869,835 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 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 June 30, 2015, 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.

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 year ended June 30, 2015. Any material change to the expense limitation would require a vote by shareholders of the applicable Fund.

The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund has recoupable expenses of $384,005, $367,842, and $480,284, which expire on June 30, 2016, June 30, 2017, and June 30, 2018, respectively.

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. Under the 1940 Act definitions, he is considered to be an “affiliated person” of the Adviser and an “interested person” of the Adviser and of Bridgeway. Compensation for Mr. Montgomery 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 year ended June 30, 2015 were as follows:

Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | | - | | | 171,740,227 | | | - | | | 125,241,674 | |
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 June 30, 2015, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Omni Small-Cap Value | | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value |
Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost) | | | | $109,840,066 | | | | | $107,348,649 | |
Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value) | | | | (18,289,186) | | | | | (18,841,742) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | | $ 91,550,880 | | | | | $ 88,506,907 | |
Cost of investments for income tax purposes | | | | $384,113,123 | | | | | $392,402,208 | |
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), partnerships 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.

June 30, 2015
The tax character of the distributions paid by the Funds during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Omni | | | Omni Tax-Managed | |

Long-Term Capital Gain | | | 20,389,241 | | | | 21,789,088 | | | | 14,502,076 | | | | 10,989,498 | |
Total | | | $22,867,898 | | | | $23,483,831 | | | | $15,269,477 | | | | $12,880,916 | |
Components of Accumulated Earnings As of June 30, 2015, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Omni | | | | Omni Tax-Managed |
| | Small-Cap Value | | | | Small-Cap Value |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | | | $ 2,027,126 | | | | | | | $ 3,274,274 | |
Accumulated Net Realized Loss on Investments* | | | | (3,835,199 | ) | | | | | | (2,655,666 | ) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation of Investments | | | | 91,550,880 | | | | | | | 88,506,907 | |
Total | | | | $89,742,807 | | | | | | | $89,125,515 | |
* | Includes qualified late-year losses that the Funds have elected to defer to the beginning of their next fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund have elected to defer late-year short term capital losses of $(3,835,199) and $(2,655,666), respectively. |
For the fiscal year June 30, 2015, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications to the accounts listed below:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| |
| | Increase (Decrease) | |
| | Omni | | | | | Omni Tax-Managed | |
| | Small-Cap Value | | | | | Small-Cap Value | |
Paid-in-Capital | | | $171,816 | | | | | | $284,723 | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | | (230,921) | | | | | | (275,398) | |
Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments | | | 59,105 | | | | | | (9,325) | |
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), partnerships 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.
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015
The Bridgeway Funds incur a commitment fee of 0.05% per annum on the unused portion of the Facility and interest expense to the extent of amounts borrowed under the Facility. Interest is based on the “Overnight Rate” plus 1.25%. The Overnight Rate means the higher of (a) the Federal Funds rate, (b) the Overnight Eurodollar Rate, or (c) the One-month Eurodollar Rate. The commitment fees are payable quarterly in arrears and are allocated to all participating Bridgeway Funds. Interest expense is charged directly to each Bridgeway Fund, based upon actual amounts borrowed by such Bridgeway Fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2015, borrowings by the Funds under this line of credit were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Weighted | | | Weighted | | | Number of | | Interest | | | Maximum Amount | |
| | Average | | | Average | | | Days | | Expense | | | Borrowed During | |

4. Approval of Investment Management Agreement
The Bridgeway Funds, Inc.’s (the “Company”) management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with its investment adviser, Bridgeway Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), on behalf of each of the Company’s funds must be approved for an initial term no greater than two years and renewed at least annually thereafter (i) by the vote of the Directors or by a vote of
| | |
44 | | Annual Report | June 30, 2015 |
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015 (unaudited)
the shareholders of each fund and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Directors who are not parties to the Management Agreement or “interested persons” of any party thereto (the “Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called specifically for the purpose of voting on such approval.
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has five regularly scheduled meetings each year and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on the approval of the Management Agreement. For example, the Board and its standing committees also consider at each meeting factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of each fund’s Management Agreement, including the services and support provided to each fund by the Adviser, the Adviser’s compliance program, comparative performance information for each fund, the risk assessment of the funds and “deep dives” on the strategy and performance of certain funds on a periodic basis. In addition, the Board receives updated financial information on the Adviser and updates related to strategic direction and marketing efforts between meetings from the Adviser.
On May 15, 2015, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, met in person (the “Meeting”) with the Adviser, Company counsel, independent legal counsel (“Independent Legal Counsel”) to the Independent Directors and others to give consideration to information bearing on the continuation of the Management Agreement with respect to the following funds: Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund and Omni Small-Cap Value Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). In preparation for the Meeting, the Independent Directors requested that the Adviser provide specific information relevant to their consideration of the renewal of each Fund’s Management Agreement. In response to that request, the Independent Directors were furnished with a wide variety of information with respect to each Fund, including:
| • | | investment performance over various time periods and the fees and expenses of each Fund as compared to a comparable group of funds (the “peer funds”); |
| • | | the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to each Fund, including investment advisory and administrative services; |
| • | | actual management fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser; |
| • | | the Adviser’s costs of providing services to each Fund and the profitability of the Adviser derived from its relationship with each Fund; |
| • | | the extent to which economies of scale may be present and if so, the degree to which they would be shared with the Fund’s shareholders; |
| • | | any “fall out” or ancillary benefits accruing to the Adviser as a result of its relationship with each Fund; and |
| • | | information regarding the structure of the advisory fees, the method of computing fees and the frequency of payment of fees and any expense limitation or fee waiver arrangements for each Fund. |
The Independent Directors also met telephonically with Independent Legal Counsel prior to the Meeting to review and discuss the information provided by the Adviser. Moreover, the Independent Directors also met in executive session with Independent Legal Counsel to consider the continuation of the Management Agreement outside the presence of management during the Meeting.
In considering the aforementioned information, the Independent Directors took into account management style, investment strategies and prevailing market conditions. Furthermore, in evaluating the Management Agreement, the Directors also reviewed information provided by the Adviser concerning the following:
| • | | the terms of the Management Agreement, including the services performed by the Adviser in managing each Fund in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions and how those services and fees differ from the Adviser’s services to non-mutual fund accounts, to the extent applicable; |
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015 (unaudited)
| • | | the services provided by the Adviser under a separate Administrative Services Agreement and the fact that those services were provided at approximately cost to the Funds, although it was noted the annual fee under the Administrative Services Agreement was proposed to be increased at the Meeting; |
| • | | the Adviser’s specialized skills and experience in statistical analysis and investment management and trading; |
| • | | the Adviser’s personnel, staffing levels and the time and attention the Adviser’s personnel devote to the management of the Funds as compared to other Adviser clients; |
| • | | the Adviser’s risk assessment and risk management capabilities; |
| • | | the fact that the Adviser continues to use no soft dollars; and |
| • | | the financial condition and stability of the Adviser, including supplemental financial information provided upon the request of the Independent Directors periodically during the year. |
In examining the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Independent Directors were pleased that the Funds continue to have access to the Adviser’s specialized skills and experience in statistical analysis and investment management and trading, and viewed those skills as relatively unique within the investment management industry. The Independent Directors were satisfied that staffing levels at the Adviser were adequate and appropriate in view of the Funds’ operations.
In examining investment performance, the Independent Directors reviewed performance information as of December 31, 2014 for each Fund and considered the following:
| • | | With regard to the Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund, the Independent Directors noted that, during this Fund’s relatively short operating history, the Fund has outperformed its peer funds and benchmark index for the past three-year period, lagged its peer funds and benchmark index for the one-year period, and has outperformed its benchmark index since inception. |
| • | | With regard to the Omni Small-Cap Value Fund, the Independent Directors noted that, during this Fund’s short operating history, the Fund has outperformed its peer funds and benchmark index for the past three-year period, lagged its peer funds and benchmark index for the one-year period, and outperformed its benchmark index by a significant margin since inception. |
In examining fees and expenses, the Independent Directors considered that each Fund’s management fee and total expenses are significantly lower than their respective peer funds. In addition, the Independent Directors considered that the Adviser agreed to contractual expense limitation agreements for each Fund to ensure that total expense levels do not increase above certain levels.
In examining profitability, the Independent Directors considered that the Adviser was operating each Fund at a relatively low profit margin. However, the Independent Directors also considered that the Adviser has significant financial resources to support ongoing operations and future growth and that the Adviser had experienced improved overall financial performance results in 2014 as compared to 2013.
With regard to economies of scale, the Independent Directors noted that although there are no fee breakpoints in each Fund’s management fee schedules, the Adviser indicated that these Funds were priced low relative to peers and ahead of the economies of scale curve at launch. In view of asset sizes and fee structures, the Independent Directors were satisfied that shareholders were not missing the opportunity to benefit from economies of scale if they were available.
In terms of potential “fall out” or ancillary benefits to the Adviser due to its position as manager of the Funds, the Independent Directors noted that the Adviser continues to use no soft dollars and that its administrative services to the Funds are structured to approximate an at-cost relationship.

46 | | Annual Report | June 30, 2015 |

OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2015 (unaudited)
After extensive discussion and consideration among themselves, and with the Adviser, Company counsel and Independent Legal Counsel, including during an executive session with Independent Legal Counsel outside the presence of management, the Independent Directors concluded the following:
| • | | the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services were appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Management Agreement and mutual fund industry norms; |
| • | | the investment performance of each Fund was acceptable or better over the relatively short operating history of each Fund; |
| • | | the management fees and overall expense levels, after taking into account any applicable management fee and expense waivers, were reasonable and significantly lower than peer funds; |
| • | | the costs of services provided by the Adviser to each Fund were fair and reasonable in relation to the services and benefits provided to each Fund; and |
| • | | although there are no breakpoints in each Fund’s fee schedule, shareholders of each Fund were not missing the opportunity to benefit from economies of scale in view of the fact that each Fund was priced low in anticipation of future growth. |
Based on all relevant information and factors, the Board, including a majority of its Independent Directors, unanimously approved the renewal of the Management Agreement with respect to each Fund. In view of the broad scope and variety of factors and information, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance in reaching their conclusions and determinations to approve the continuance of the Management Agreement for each Fund. Rather, the approval determinations were made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken in their entirety.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES | |  |
June 30, 2015 (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 January 1, 2015 and held until June 30, 2015.
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.
