LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM | |  |
June 30, 2016
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Performance across the domestic equity markets was positive for the June quarter, and most segments of the market also posted gains for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016. Only small-cap stocks and mid-cap growth stocks recorded losses for the fiscal year. Market highlights appear on page 2. In this environment, 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.
The start of the June quarter marked an important milestone for Bridgeway: Tammira Philippe stepped into her new role as President of Bridgeway Capital Management. On page 2, she reflects on her first 90 days as President, and shares her vision for Bridgeway’s future.
The June quarter also saw a turnaround for small-cap value stocks, although the gains were not enough to offset the asset class’s poor performance from earlier in the fiscal year. In fact, small-cap value stocks have lagged the market for several years, which might be causing some investors to wonder whether these stocks still offer a long-term premium. Yet our research indicates that the small-cap value premium isn’t dead, and we explain our reasons for optimism on page 3.
The end of the fiscal year is also the time when we look back on what went well for Bridgeway during the past 12 months, and what didn’t. This year, we’re highlighting the poor performance of our Aggressive Investors 1 Fund as the “worst thing” of the past fiscal year. You can read our breakdown of what went wrong on page 4.
Finally, on page 5, we share one Partner’s very personal approach to creating transformative change in our communities. Tami Groce describes her work supporting two groups of people going through life changes that she’s experienced first hand.
As always, we appreciate your feedback. We take your comments very seriously and regularly discuss them to help us manage our Funds and this company. Please keep your ideas coming — both favorable and critical. They provide us with a vital tool to serve you better.
Sincerely,
Your Investment Management Team

Market Review
Domestic equity markets rose during the June quarter, despite late-period volatility sparked by the U.K. referendum vote to leave the European Union. Although global stock markets plunged immediately following the June 23 vote, they quickly rebounded in subsequent days. The S&P 500 returned 2.46% for the quarter, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.07%. For the fiscal year, the S&P 500 and the DJIA were up 3.99% and 4.50%, respectively, with most of those gains coming during the second half of the 12-month period.
U.S. equity styles, as defined by Russell Indices, recorded positive returns for the quarter. Value stocks outperformed growth stocks, with the largest difference among large-cap stocks. Small-cap stocks generally outperformed larger stocks, with the exception of the value category. As a result, mid-cap value stocks delivered the best performance (4.77%), while large growth stocks produced the lowest return (0.61%).
Six of the 10 S&P 500 sectors posted positive returns for the quarter. The Energy sector led the gains, up 11.6%, followed by Telecommunications (7.1%), Utilities (6.8%) and Health Care (6.3%). Information Technology was the worst performer, returning -2.8%, while the Consumer Discretionary sector recorded the only other quarterly loss (-0.9%).
Below are the stock market style box returns for the quarter and the fiscal year.

Message from the President: Reflections on my First 90 Days
by Tammira Philippe, CFA
Although I have worked at Bridgeway for 11 years, I started my day on March 30 determined to look at our firm from a new perspective.
It was my first day as President of Bridgeway Capital Management — a position I was thrilled to accept after being chosen from among several finalists during a nationwide search — and I was eager to begin leading our firm. I knew that we had a talented team and enjoyed strong momentum thanks to our evidence-based investing philosophy and unique culture. I also knew that my top priority as President would be to build on this foundation and help create an organization that has an even larger positive impact on investors and the world at large.
Before I could take any steps toward accomplishing that goal, though, I needed to be sure my colleagues shared my vision for Bridgeway.
So beginning March 30, I began talking with my colleagues to articulate my ideas to help Bridgeway’s success continue long into the future. I emphasized the importance of our firm’s values, starting with putting our investors’ interests first at all times. I described how our team-based approach is helping to build a stronger, more adaptable company, one in which Partners can learn new skills that help them take on new responsibilities — much as my Bridgeway career gave me experience in strategy, operations and client relationships.

LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued) | |  |
To my great excitement, I found even more alignment among my Partners than I expected. Everyone at Bridgeway knows that we have created something special in the financial world, and they are just as committed as I am to seeing the firm thrive beyond their own careers.
In addition, I listened to advisers, institutional clients and shareholders we serve. I knew from past conversations that some wondered whether the values and approach established by our founder, John Montgomery, would continue to drive Bridgeway in the future. I wanted to assure them, as I assure you today, that John’s values have been thoroughly absorbed into Bridgeway’s DNA, and by all of us. You can see them in our commitment to maintaining a disciplined investment strategy and relentless focus on controlling costs that can help investors achieve their long-term goals — and in our pledge to use our own success to help make the world a better place.
I hope that my appointment as President is a compelling example of how Bridgeway’s culture and values are bigger than any one person. We know there will be challenges along the way. We face increasing competition, shifting regulations and evolving investor needs that will require us to change and adapt. But what will not change is our commitment to our investors and our values. In fact, I believe that the forces changing our industry have made Bridgeway’s culture an even greater asset as we strive to build an enduring firm. I am honored to be the person with the responsibility to protect that legacy and to guide our Partners toward our shared vision for the future.
Is Small-Cap Value Dead?
by Christine Wang, CFA, CPA, Portfolio Manager
Value investors have had a tough few years. At the end of 2015, value stocks had again lagged growth stocks. Even worse, value also underperformed growth during the most recent 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods.
Results also have been bad for small-cap investors, with large-cap stocks outperforming small-cap growth stocks on a 1-year, 3-year and 5-year basis through the end of 2015. Considering that small-cap value stocks historically have provided a return premium, these trends might leave some investors scratching their heads, wondering if small-cap value still has a place in their portfolios.
While we share the frustration with recent results, our research into historical market data offers reason for optimism. In fact, we believe that small-cap value remains an important part of a diversified investment portfolio, and that abandoning the asset class now could diminish the potential positive impact of the small-cap value premium on your long-term results.
Since 1926, small-cap value stocks have outperformed small-cap growth stocks by 6.07% annually. However, the short-term relative performance of small-cap value stocks often is not for the faint of heart — as we’ve recently experienced. Small-cap value underperformed the market for 21 consecutive months spanning May, 2014 to February, 2016.
But how unusual is that down trend? Looking at market data going back to 1926, we found that the duration of the recent 21-month slump is above average, but not unprecedented. When small-cap value underperformed, the average length of its consecutive monthly underperformance was 11 months, while the longest stretch was 3.5 years, occurring between 1929 and 1932. More recently, small-cap value underperformed for 26 consecutive months between July 1989 and August 1991.
What’s more, although small-cap value stocks frequently underperform the market from year to year, the odds of underperformance greatly decline over longer holding periods: Between 1926 and 2015, there has not been a single 20-year period during which small-cap value lagged the market.
While 21 months can feel like an eternity, it is a relatively short period within an investor’s lifetime and any reasonable equity investment time horizon. And based on our examination of long-term market returns, it’s unlikely that small-cap value stocks will continue to lag the market for a period of more than a decade.
Another important insight from our research: Small-cap value typically rebounds strongly from prolonged slumps, which supports the argument for not giving up now. For example, after small-cap value stocks underperformed the market for 42 consecutive months starting in 1929, they went on to outperform the market by an astonishing 231% during the 42 months after they recovered. After the 26-month period of underperformance starting in 1989, small-cap value posted a 44% cumulative outperformance over the 26 months following its recovery. In these and other periods, the eventual rebound in small-cap value more than wiped out the early losses — rewarding those investors who stuck to their strategy.
| | |
LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued) | |  |
There’s no doubt that recent performance has been difficult for small-cap value investors, but we may already have seen a potential change in that trend: Small-cap value stocks outperformed broad-market Russell 3000 index by 2.17 percentage points during the most recent quarter. Of course, one quarter does not make a trend, but we will continue to monitor small-cap value’s performance for signs of a turnaround.
In the meantime, our analysis shows that the recent stretch of underperformance is within the historic norm for the small-cap value premium. To abandon the asset class based on the past few years of performance alone would just be another version of chasing hot returns by buying high and selling low — the exact opposite of a recipe for success. Instead, recent volatility in small-cap value stocks is a perfect opportunity to rebalance portfolios and remain committed to a well-diversified asset allocation that takes advantage of the historical premiums the market offers.
The Worst Thing of the Fiscal Year
by John Montgomery, Founder and Chief Investment Officer
While we like to celebrate our successes as much as anyone, we also believe that getting the hard stuff on the table is a key ingredient to learning and growing — as individuals and as a corporation.
Additionally, Bridgeway is committed to transparency with you, our shareholders, who are the owners of the Fund. That’s why we have set aside a portion of each annual report to discuss the worst thing that happened during the fiscal year.
This year, we’ve chosen the results for Aggressive Investors 1 — our poorest performing Fund. Although the Fund achieved relatively impressive return rankings for calendar years 2014, 2013 and 2012, and leads its primary market benchmark by more than 3% per year since inception, this year’s -7.40% return and low peer ranking is very disappointing.
Why did it happen? Thanks to a confluence of trends, none of the Fund’s major categories of factors helped performance, and several hurt it significantly.
For example, by design the Fund invests in some small- and mid-cap stocks, deeper value stocks, and certain riskier (high-beta) stocks that our models project are statistically likely to outperform their peers on an economic basis. All of those types of stocks underperformed the market during the past fiscal year. Or stated a different way, our specific approach to diversification in the Fund’s portfolio did not help during this period.
Normally, our company financial health models would have helped offset losses from deeper value’s underperformance. However, stocks in the company financial health category tend not to perform well when markets experience a correlation spike — periods in which stocks of all sizes and styles move in tandem, largely due to macro-trends and not company- or asset-specific factors. We had a high correlation spike in the September 2015 quarter, which meant we got little help from this diversifying category.
Another diversifying factor that has been successful in the long term is price momentum. However, the Fund’s exposure to high momentum stocks also hurt because these stocks declined in the fiscal year.
Finally, our models do not weight holdings by company size — giving more weight in the portfolio to the largest companies — as does our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. As a result, we had lower exposure to larger stocks. These stocks performed well relative to smaller cap stocks during the fiscal year and contributed to our Fund’s 11% underperformance of the S&P 500. By contrast, our fiscal year results were within one percentage point of our secondary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index of smaller companies.
In short, it was a perfect storm of diversifying factors not going our way. However, we gave the Fund the factor exposures we intended, based on analysis of long-term market data. We do not consider that anything is “broken,” and we are staying the course. In fact, performance of these factors tends to revert back to their expected long-term returns, which we believe would be beneficial to our Fund in the future.

4 | | Annual Report | June 30, 2016 |
| | |
LETTER FROM THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TEAM (continued) | |  |
That said, we continue to conduct research on all of our Funds and models, looking for small, incremental improvements. We will be studying Aggressive Investors 1 in the coming fiscal year, specifically examining model performance in high correlation markets to see if we can further reduce their negative impact.
In summary, it was a poor year for Aggressive Investors 1. We know the reasons why, and we are studying ways to improve the models, but we are not changing our investment process. And as a fellow shareholder, I want to express my personal confidence in the Fund’s research and portfolio management teams. I continue to use Bridgeway-managed portfolios for 100% of my stock market investing needs and Aggressive Investors 1 plays a significant role in that allocation.
Transformative Change: Where I Live
by Tami Groce, Partner, Marketing and Client Service
When we think about transformative change, it is often with an eye toward addressing the needs that seem most significant or universal. Helping the poor and disenfranchised is certainly vital to making the world a better place, and it is a worthwhile endeavor for us all. I find, however, that we often overlook the needs where we live — and by “where we live” I mean both our physical locality and our experiences.
While I am involved in numerous charitable activities, most recently my experience has been informed by two issues that have led me to administer healing to those who often suffer in silence and to those who seek guidance in unchartered waters. The first group consists of couples on the infertility journey, which can be a painful path to parenthood with little spiritual or emotional support. I know the sorrow of infertility firsthand. Though my journey ended with the blessing of two beautiful little boys, I am connected to those still on their own journeys, because that is where I lived for quite a while. As a result, I founded The Waiting Room Infertility Ministry at Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church in Houston. We meet monthly and provide spiritual, educational and financial direction for those who for too long have felt forsaken by others who do not share their experience.
As an ordained, seminary-trained minister, the second group that I have dedicated myself to is seminary students. I lead small groups aimed at equipping seminarians with the tools necessary to their vocation. Additionally, I mentor seminarians at the Fuller Theological Seminary through a structured program that allows for a six-month relationship. Whether they are my mentee or a small group member, each individual will directly intersect with the lives of hundreds (if not thousands) of church members over the course of their ministry. It is important that they understand the lifestyle that comes with that role, and are prepared to handle the responsibilities. For example, burnout is common among ministers, so I urge them to find their own Sabbath day to take time for themselves and recharge, as Sundays are typically busy work days. We also discuss the feelings of isolation and loneliness that many ministers feel as leaders of a church, and I urge them to develop a community of peers with whom they can share their concerns and feel heard.
Beyond that, their personal spiritual care must be a priority. There is a reason that flight attendants ask you to put your oxygen mask on first before assisting others. As ministers, they have to have discernment around their particular calling. I remind them to examine and reconcile the potential hurt and brokenness in their own backgrounds, as well as their limitations, so they are better prepared to help others deal with their issues. I believe I am uniquely equipped to help others understand this process and to move from passion to purpose, because that is also where I live.

The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions, based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks with dividends reinvested. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index that measures performance of the 2,000 companies that are between the 1,000th and 3,000th largest in the market with dividends reinvested. The Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index reflects the record of the 30 largest funds in the category of more aggressive domestic growth mutual funds, as reported by Lipper, an independent fund research firm owned by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.
According to data from Lipper as of June 30, 2016, Aggressive Investors 1 Fund ranked 177th of 254 capital appreciation funds for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, 122nd of 224 over the last five years, 147th of 157 over the last 10 years, and 3rd of 43 since inception in August 1994. Lipper is an independent mutual fund rating service owned by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. that ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.

Aggressive Investors 1 Fund vs. S&P 500 Index, Russell 2000 Index & Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index
from Inception 8/5/94 to 6/30/16

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Fund’s investment in mid-cap and small-cap stocks boosted relative returns during a quarter in which those shares outpaced large-company stocks. In addition, all our model categories made positive contributions to the Fund’s relative performance.
An underweight position in the lagging Information Technology sector boosted relative performance, as did select holdings within that sector. Holdings in the Materials sector also helped relative results. By contrast, an overweight position and holdings in the lagging Industrials sector detracted from relative performance.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
The Fund’s bias toward smaller stocks detracted from relative results during the 12-month period, as small company shares significantly underperformed larger stocks in the first half of the fiscal year. Although small-cap stocks rebounded in the second half of the year, it was not enough to overcome previous losses. In addition, all three model categories contributed to the Fund’s fiscal-year underperformance. Our value metrics category was the largest detractor, as these models targeted deeper-value stocks that lagged the Index during the period. The price momentum category also detracted from results, as the stocks selected by this model underperformed. Our company financial health category of stocks underperformed in the market context of a high correlation spike (stocks moving in tandem irrespective of their underlying economic health) in the September quarter. Diversification across these three categories did not help in the market environment of the fiscal year.
Sector allocation did not have a significant impact on performance. Instead, individual stock holdings detracted from results.

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, 2016, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly affect short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in the small companies within this multi-cap fund generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. The Fund’s use of options, futures, and leverage can magnify the risk of loss in an unfavorable market, and the Fund’s use of short-sale positions can, in theory, expose shareholders to unlimited loss. Finally, the Fund exposes shareholders to “focus risk,” which may add to Fund volatility through the possibility that a single company could significantly affect total return. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole.

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
All model categories detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the quarter. Our company financial health models weighed most heavily on relative returns, while our price momentum models detracted the least. Although the Fund held nearly 80% of its assets in CRSP’s 10th decile, which, on average, had positive returns, those holdings still underperformed the primary benchmark. In addition, the Fund’s holdings that were larger than CRSP 10 posted negative returns, on average, for the quarter and detracted from relative performance.
An underweight position and holdings in the Energy sector detracted from relative returns. Holdings in the Financials sector also hurt relative performance. However, an underweight allocation to the Health Care sector boosted relative performance because Health Care was one of the worst-performing sectors in CRSP 10.
The table below presents index performance numbers for stocks in the different deciles during various time periods.

Ultra-Small Company Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
Our value metrics models lagged the benchmark for the fiscal year, detracting from relative results. However, our company financial health and price momentum models added to the Fund’s relative returns and helped offset some of those losses. A higher weighting in larger stocks also detracted from relative results when these stocks underperformed.
Holdings in the Energy, Industrials and Financials sectors weighed most heavily on relative performance. Meanwhile, holdings in the Information Technology sector added to relative performance. The Fund’s lower-than-benchmark exposure to the Health Care sector also helped.

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

Ultra-Small Company Market Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2016
Dear Fellow Ultra-Small Company Market Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, our Fund returned 2.90%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index (5.45%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Micro-Cap Stock Funds Index (3.05%), the Russell 2000 Index (3.79%) and the Russell Microcap Index (3.97%). It was a poor quarter on a relative basis.
For the fiscal year, our Fund returned -10.83%, outperforming the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index (-13.49%) and the Russell Microcap Index (-12.06%), but trailing the Lipper Micro-Cap Stock Funds Index (-8.93%) and the Russell 2000 Index (-6.73%).
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.

Ultra-Small Company Market Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Ultra-Small Company Market Fund vs. CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index, Russell Microcap Index*, Russell 2000 Index & Lipper Micro-Cap Stock Funds Index from Inception 7/31/97 to 6/30/16

* | The Russell Microcap Index began on 6/30/2000, and the line graph for the Index begins at the same value as the Fund on that date. |
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Fund lagged its primary benchmark largely because of holdings that had appreciated out of CRSP’s 10th decile. The Fund held approximately 75% of assets in CRSP 10 stocks — higher than in recent quarters, due to a rise in the cutoff for the 10th decile and our efforts to increase the Fund’s weight in CRSP 10 shares — but holdings of stocks with market caps above the CRSP 10 breakpoint detracted from relative performance when those shares lagged CRSP 10 stocks. Our “sidestepping” strategy — which eliminates exposure to stocks with a high probability of a precipitous price decline, major financial distress or bankruptcy — helped relative results, but not enough to offset the drag from non-CRSP 10 stocks.
An underweight position in the Energy sector hurt relative performance, as Energy was one of the best performing sectors during the period. The Fund doesn’t invest in shares of master limited partnerships or royalty trusts, two structures used primarily as Energy sector investment vehicles. By contrast, the benchmark includes a roughly 5% allocation to these investments.
The table below presents index performance numbers for stocks in the different CRSP deciles during 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, primarily due to holdings that had appreciated out of CRSP’s 10th decile. The Fund held an average of approximately one-third of its assets in stocks with market caps above the CRSP 10 breakpoint during the 12-month period, and those larger shares significantly outperformed CRSP 10 names. The Fund’s “sidestepping” strategy was effective as well. It is important to note that the adviser has been consistently trimming stocks that have outgrown the CRSP 10 size threshold to increase exposure to the ultra-small 10th decile.

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, 2016, 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.

Small-Cap Momentum Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2016
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Momentum Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, our Fund returned 5.60%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index (3.79%). It was a good quarter.
For the fiscal year, our Fund returned -3.48%, outperforming the Russell 2000 Index (-6.73%).
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.
Standardized Returns as of June 30, 2016
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | Quarter | | | | | 1 Year | | | | | | | 5 Year | | | | | | Since Inception (5/28/10) | | | |
Small-Cap Momentum Fund | | | 5.60% | | | | | | -3.48% | | | | | | | | 7.77% | | | | | | | | 10.77% | | |
Russell 2000 Index | | | 3.79% | | | | | | -6.73% | | | | | | | | 8.35% | | | | | | | | 11.04% | | |
Performance figures quoted in the table above represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Total return figures in the table above include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index that measures performance of the 2,000 companies that are between the 1,000th and 3,000th largest in the market with dividends reinvested. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.
According to data from Lipper as of June 30, 2016, Small-Cap Momentum Fund ranked 262nd of 821 small-cap core funds for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, 339th of 607 over the last five years, and 277th of 566 such funds since inception in May 2010.

Small-Cap Momentum Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Small-Cap Momentum Fund vs. Russell 2000 Index
from Inception 5/28/10 to 6/30/16

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The price momentum factor had a strong quarter, boosting the Fund’s return relative to its benchmark. The Fund’s risk-adjustment feature, which steers it away from some of the higher-volatility stocks in the momentum factor, also helped relative performance.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
Momentum holdings outperformed the Russell 2000 Index for the fiscal year, and the risk-adjustment overlay feature performed according to design, boosting relative returns.

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 June 30, 2016, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and are not indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly impact short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. Shareholders of the Fund, therefore, are taking on more risk than they would if they invested in the stock market as a whole.
Conclusion
Thank you for your continued investment in Small-Cap Momentum Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.

Sincerely, |
|
The Investment Management Team |

Small-Cap Growth Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2016
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Growth Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, our Fund returned 3.04%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (3.24%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (3.66%). It was a good quarter on an absolute basis, but a poor one on a relative basis.
For the fiscal year, our Fund returned -3.97%, significantly beating the Russell 2000 Growth Index (-10.75%), and the Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index (-8.45%). It was a good year on a relative basis, but a poor one on an absolute basis. Our Fund now leads its benchmarks in the five-year period, but lags 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.

Small-Cap Growth Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Small-Cap Growth Fund vs. Russell 2000 Growth Index & Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index
from Inception 10/31/03 to 6/30/16

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Fund’s relative returns suffered due to underperformance of our company financial health models and our diversifying value metrics models. The Fund’s value metrics models detracted from relative results because they targeted deeper-value stocks that underperformed the Index during the quarter. Strong gains from our diversifying price momentum model helped offset some of the underperformance, as did the Fund’s bias toward smaller sized companies, which outperformed larger-company stocks during the quarter.
Holdings within the Industrials and Consumer Staples sectors dragged on relative results. Meanwhile, holdings in the Health Care, Materials and Consumer Discretionary sectors added to relative results.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
All model categories helped the Fund outperform the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the year. Our diversifying price momentum model posted large gains for the 12-month period. Our company financial health and diversifying value metrics models generated negative returns for the period, but still outperformed the Index.
Holdings in the Health Care sector contributed positively to relative performance for the year. Holdings in the Materials sectors also added to results.

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, 2016, 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.

Small-Cap Value Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2016
Dear Fellow Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, our Fund returned 3.94%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (4.31%), but outperforming our peer benchmark, the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index (1.82%). It was a good quarter on an absolute basis, but a mixed one on a relative basis.
For the fiscal year, the Fund returned -5.02%, trailing the Russell 2000 Value Index (-2.58%) and the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index (-4.71%). The Fund is lagging its primary benchmark but leading its peer benchmark in the five-year period. It lags both its 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 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 6/30/16

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
Our value metrics models detracted from the Fund’s relative returns, because they targeted deeper-value stocks that underperformed the index during the quarter. The Fund’s bias toward smaller companies also weighed somewhat on results as larger stocks in the Russell 2000 Value Index delivered the best returns. However, our diversifying price momentum and company financial health models helped offset some of the Fund’s relative underperformance for the quarter.
Holdings in the Energy and Financials sectors detracted most from relative returns, while holdings in the Consumer Discretionary, Utilities and Information Technology sectors added to results.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
All three model categories underperformed for the year, with our core value metrics models detracting most from the Fund’s relative returns.
Holdings in the Health Care, Financials and Information Technology sectors weighed most heavily on the Fund’s relative returns for the year. The Fund’s underweight exposure to the Utilities sector also detracted from 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, 2016, 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.

Blue Chip 35 Index Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2016
Dear Fellow Blue Chip 35 Index Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, our Fund returned 2.85%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (2.46%), our peer benchmark, the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (2.14%), and the Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index (2.24%). It was a good quarter.
For the fiscal year, our Fund was up 6.60%, beating the S&P 500 Index (3.99%) and the Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index (1.52%), but slightly trailing the Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index (6.68%).
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 composed of very large, “blue chip” U.S. stocks, excluding tobacco; it is compiled by the adviser of the Fund. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index reflects the aggregate record of domestic large-cap core mutual funds as reported by Lipper, an independent fund research firm owned by Broadridge Financial Solutions, 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, 2016, Blue-Chip 35 Index Fund ranked 62nd of 861 large-cap core funds for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, 22nd of 696 over the last five years, 66th of 524 over the last 10 years, and 29th of 163 since inception in July 1997. Lipper, Inc. is an independent mutual fund rating service owned by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. that ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.

Blue Chip 35 Index Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) | |  |
Blue Chip 35 Index Fund vs. S&P 500 Index, Russell Top 50 Mega Cap Index, Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index & Bridgeway Ultra-Large 35 Index from Inception 7/31/97 to 6/30/16

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Fund’s relative performance benefitted from our equal-weight design feature, which requires us to regularly reduce our stakes in stocks that have appreciated the most while increasing our stakes in shares that have lagged. This rebalancing helped the Fund benefit from strong growth among ultra-large stocks that recovered during the recent quarter. In addition, the Fund held fewer higher-volatility stocks than the S&P 500 Index, which helped performance because higher-volatility stocks underperformed during the quarter.
The Fund’s overweight position in the lagging Information Technology sector detracted slightly from relative performance during the quarter. An underweight position in the strongly performing Health Care sector also hurt relative returns.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
The Fund’s mega-cap design boosted relative performance, as the largest stocks outperformed the rest of the market during the 12-month period.
Underweight positions in the poor-performing Financials and Health Care sectors helped relative returns. An overweight positions in Telecommunication Services boosted relative returns, as this sector delivered strong performance during the fiscal year.

Managed Volatility Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) | |  |
June 30, 2016
Dear Fellow Managed Volatility Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, our Fund returned 0.57%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (2.46%), and our peer benchmark, the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (1.99%). The Fund’s performance was roughly in line with the fixed-income only Bloomberg/EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (0.54%). It was a poor quarter relative to our goal of capturing at least 40% of the S&P 500 Index’s return.
For the fiscal year, our Fund returned 1.10%, trailing the S&P 500 Index (3.99%), the Lipper Balanced Funds Index (1.49%), and the Bloomberg/EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index (1.37%).
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.

The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of changes in stock market conditions, based on the average of 500 widely held common stocks with dividends reinvested. The Bloomberg/EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 year Total Return Bond Index is a transparent benchmark for the total return of the 1-3 year U.S. Government bond market. The Lipper Balanced Funds Index is an index of balanced funds compiled by Lipper, an independent fund research firm owned by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.
According to data from Lipper as of June 30, 2016, Managed Volatility Fund ranked 63rd of 331 Alternative Long/Short Equity funds for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, 45th of 103 over the past five years, 14th of 32 over the last 10 years, and 5th of 12 such funds since inception on June 30, 2001. Lipper is an independent mutual fund rating service owned by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. that ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns.
According to data from Morningstar as of June 30, 2016, Managed Volatility Fund ranked 34th of 101 Option Writing funds for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, 14th of 26 over the past five years, and 3rd of 8 over the last 10 years. Morningstar ranks funds in various fund categories by making comparative calculations using total returns. Please note that Morningstar changed the Managed Volatility Fund’s investment category to Option Writing from Long/Short Equity. This category change by Morningstar does not impact the Fund in any way. The Fund’s strategy and investment approach have not changed.

Managed Volatility Fund vs. S&P 500 Index, Bloomberg/EFFAS U.S. Government 1-3 Year Total Return Bond Index & Lipper Balanced Funds Index

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Fund’s 0.57% return failed to capture 40% of the S&P 500 Index’s return of 2.46% for the quarter. The portfolio’s futures component was responsible for most of this underperformance, contributing -0.8% to the Fund’s return. However, this down performance is in line with our expectations for futures during a quarter characterized by a rising equity market. The options component also detracted from performance, contributing about -0.1% to return. By contrast, the equities and fixed-income components contributed about 1.4% and 0.1% to return, respectively.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
For the fiscal year, the Fund’s 1.10% return failed to capture 40% of the S&P 500 Index’s 3.99% return. The futures component drove this underperformance, contributing about -0.7% to return. The Fund’s equities component contributed about 0.9% to return, while the options and fixed-income components contributed roughly 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively.
For the fiscal year, the Fund had a standard deviation of 7.49, which was 43% of the Index’s 17.41 standard deviation during the same period. While short-term performance failed to meet our target of capturing at least 40% of the market’s upside, the Fund continues to perform as designed, particularly over longer time periods. For 10 years and since inception, the Fund has captured 39% and 67%, respectively, of the S&P 500 Index’s return, with roughly 55% less volatility than 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, 2016, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
Market volatility can significantly affect short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in the small companies within this multi-cap fund generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. The Fund’s use of options, futures, and leverage can magnify the risk of loss in an unfavorable market, and the Fund’s use of short-sale positions can, in

theory, expose shareholders to unlimited loss. 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.
Conclusion
Thank you for your continued investment in Managed Volatility Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | |  |
June 30, 2016
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 10 investment funds as of June 30, 2016. The Aggressive Investors 1, Ultra-Small Company, Ultra-Small Company Market, Small-Cap Momentum, Small-Cap Growth, Small-Cap Value, Blue Chip 35 Index and Managed Volatility Funds are presented in this report (each is referred to as a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). 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, 2016, 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, and Small-Cap Value 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, and Small-Cap Value 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, 2016
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, 2016 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, 2016, the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund transferred a security with a value of $436,985 from Level 2 to Level 1, due to the market becoming active. 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016
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 market value of securities on loan, all of which are classified as common stocks in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments, and the value of the related collateral are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of Investments at value.
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, 2016:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016
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, 2016 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, 2016 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.

The derivative instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2016, as disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, and the amounts of realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period, as disclosed in the Statements of Operations, serve as indicators of the volume of derivatives activity for the Funds.
Futures Contracts The Funds may purchase or sell financial futures contracts to hedge cash positions, manage market risk, and to dampen volatility in line with investment objectives. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or U.S. Government securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the futures contract is traded. The contract amount reflects the extent of a Fund’s exposure in these financial instruments. A Fund’s participation in the futures markets involves certain risks, including imperfect correlation between movements in the price of futures contracts and movements in the price of the securities hedged or used for cover. Pursuant to a contract, such Fund agrees to receive from, or pay to, the broker an amount of cash equal to the fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by a Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. With futures, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds, since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. As of June 30, 2016, 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, 2016 are as follows:

The Aggressive Investors 1 Fund had no transactions in written options during the year ended June 30, 2016.
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 each 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%.
Blue Chip 35 Index: The Fund’s advisory fee is a flat 0.08% of the value of the Fund’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly.

The Adviser entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Bridgeway, pursuant to which the Adviser provides various administrative services to the Funds including, but not limited to: (i) supervising and managing various aspects of the Funds’ business and affairs; (ii) selecting, overseeing and/or coordinating activities with other service providers to the Funds; (iii) providing reports to the Board of Directors as requested from time to time; (iv) assisting and/or reviewing amendments and updates to the Funds’ registration statement and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (v) providing certain shareholder services; (vi) providing administrative support in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors; and (vii) providing certain record-keeping services.

Effective July 1, 2016, the Adviser will be paid an aggregate annual fee of $665,000, payable in monthly installments.
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. Effective November 13, 2015, Independent Directors are paid $7,500 per meeting for meeting fees. Prior to November 13, 2015, Independent Directors were paid $6,250 per meeting. Such compensation is the total compensation from all Funds and is allocated among the Funds.
The Independent Directors each receive this compensation in the form of shares of the Bridgeway Funds, credited to his or her account.

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 Funds.

Classifications of Distributions Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.

The difference between book and tax components of net assets and the resulting reclassifications were primarily a result of the differing book/tax treatment of the deduction of equalization debits for tax purposes, redesignation of dividends paid and investments in real estate investment trusts, business development companies, 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 15, 2016. 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 0.07% 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 13, 2016, 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, Blue Chip 35 Index Fund, Managed Volatility Fund and Small-Cap Momentum Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).
In reaching its decisions, the Board considered the information furnished and discussed throughout the year at regularly scheduled Board or committee meetings, as applicable and as described above, and reviewed and considered the information provided specifically in relation to the annual consideration of the approval of the Management Agreement.
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 Board was 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”) as determined and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly, Lipper, Inc.) (hereinafter “Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data; |
| • | | the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to each Fund, including investment advisory and administrative services; |
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
| • | | actual management fees paid by each Fund to the Adviser and a comparison with the fees charged to other clients, if applicable; |
| • | | 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; and |
| • | | any potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits accruing to the Adviser as a result of its relationship with each Fund. |
In addition to evaluating, among other things, the written information provided by the Adviser, the Board also considered the answers to questions posed by the Board to representatives of the Adviser at the Meeting.
In considering the information and materials described above, the Independent Directors received assistance from, and 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.
The Board also was provided with a written description of their statutory responsibilities and the legal standards that are applicable to approval of the Management Agreement.
Although the Management Agreement for all of the Funds were considered at the same Board meeting, the Directors considered each Fund separately.
In considering the aforementioned information, the Board 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; |
| • | | 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 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 active and passive 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 Adviser’s representation that it 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 Board periodically during the year. |

In view of the broad scope and variety of factors and information, the Directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching their conclusions and determinations to approve the Management Agreement for an additional year. Rather, the approval determination was made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken in their entirety. Although not meant to be all-inclusive, the following describes some of the factors that were considered by the Board in deciding to approve the continuance of the Management Agreement for each Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In examining the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Directors considered the qualifications, experience and capability of the Adviser’s personnel and the extent of care and conscientiousness with which the Adviser performs its duties. In addition, the Directors considered information provided by the Adviser regarding its overall financial strength and considered the resources and staffing in place with respect to the services provided to the Funds, including (but not limited to) consideration of the Adviser’s skills and experience in statistical analysis and active and passive investment management and trading. The Board also considered that, in addition to providing investment management services to the Funds, the Adviser is also responsible for developing and maintaining policies and procedures to ensure that the Funds comply with applicable rules and regulations. Finally, the Board considered that the Adviser provides certain administrative services under the Administrative Services Agreement approximately at cost to the Funds, although it was noted the annual fees under the Administrative Services Agreement were proposed to be increased at this Meeting.
Based on the totality of the information considered, the Directors concluded that the Funds were likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, and that the Adviser has the ability to continue to provide these services based on its experience, operations and current resources.
Investment Performance
Lipper provided a report (the “Lipper Report”) of comparative data regarding fees, expenses and performance for each Fund as compared to a peer group selected by Lipper (“Peer Group”). In particular, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund, as applicable, over the most recent calendar year (“one-year period”) and the annualized performance over the most recent three calendar year period (“three-year period”), five calendar year period (five-year period”) and ten calendar year period (“ten-year period”). With regard to the performance information provided in the Lipper Report, the Board considered the performance of each Fund on a percentile and quintile basis as compared to its Peer Group. For purposes of the performance data provided, the first quintile is defined as 20% of the funds in the applicable Peer Group with the highest performance and the fifth quintile is defined as 20% of the funds in the applicable Peer Group with the lowest performance. The Board reviewed performance information in the Lipper Report as of December 31, 2015 for each Fund and considered the following:
| • | | With regard to the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had below median performance compared to its Peer Group, ranking in the 5th quintile, 4th quintile and 5th quintile, respectively, and lagged the benchmark index for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of the Peer Group for the three-year period, ranking in the 3rd quintile, but lagged its benchmark index for the same time period. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that the underperformance of this Fund can be partially explained by a spike in stock correlations in 2015, and that this Fund has outperformed its benchmark index since inception. |
| • | | With regard to the Ultra-Small Company Fund, the Board considered that the Fund had below median performance compared to its Peer Group, ranking in the 5th quintile, 4th quintile, 4th quintile and 4th quintile, respectively, and lagged its benchmark index for the past one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the Adviser’s explanation that the Ultra-Small Company Fund’s holdings in larger cap stocks accounts for much of the underperformance relative to the CRSP 10 benchmark index, and that this Fund has outperformed its benchmark index since inception. |
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
| • | | With regard to the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund, the Board considered that the Fund has outperformed the median of its Peer Group, ranking in the 1st and 2nd quintiles, respectively, for the past three-year and five-year periods, and underperformed its Lipper peer funds, ranking in the 5th quintile for the one-year and ten-year periods. The Board considered that the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund has outperformed its benchmark index for the past one-year, three-year and five-year periods, lagged its benchmark index for the ten-year period 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 Board considered that the Fund has outperformed the median of its Peer Group, ranking in the 1st quintile for each of the one-year, three-year and five-year periods, and its benchmark index for the same time periods. The Board considered that the Small-Cap Growth Fund has underperformed its Peer Group, ranking in the 5th quintile, for the ten-year period and lagged its benchmark index for the ten-year and since inception periods. The Board also considered the Adviser’s explanation that it made some refinements to its investment process approximately four years ago and that the Adviser believes these refinements are having a positive impact on the Small-Cap Growth Fund. |
| • | | With regard to the Small-Cap Value Fund, the Board considered that the Fund had below median performance compared to its Peer Group, ranking in the 4th quintile, 4th quintile and 5th quintile, respectively, and lagged its benchmark index for the one-year, three-year and ten-year periods. The Board considered that the Small-Cap Value Fund has outperformed the median of its Peer Group, ranking in the 2nd quintile, and its benchmark index for the five-year period. The Board also considered that the Small-Cap Value Fund has slightly lagged its benchmark index since inception (although by less than the Fund’s expense ratio as noted by the Adviser). |
| • | | With regard to the Blue Chip 35 Index Fund, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Peer Group, ranking in the 1st quintile for the one-year period and 2nd quintile for the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods. The Board considered that the Blue Chip 35 Index Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the one-year and ten-year periods but lagged its benchmark index for the three-year and five-year periods, and the Fund has outperformed its benchmark index since inception. The Board also considered the Adviser’s explanation that the primary reason for the difference in performance compared to its benchmark index is the larger market cap of the holdings in the Blue Chip 35 Index Fund as compared to the index. |
| • | | With regard to the Managed Volatility Fund, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Peer Group for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods and had below median performance compared to its Peer Group for the three-year period, ranking in the 3rd quintile for the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods and in the 2nd quintile for the one-year period. The Board considered that the Managed Volatility Fund lagged its benchmark index for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods. However, the Board also considered the Adviser’s explanation that in 10 out of 14 years since inception, the Managed Volatility 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 the Adviser believes is consistent with the design of the Fund. |
| • | | With regard to the Small-Cap Momentum Fund, the Board considered that the Fund outperformed the median of its Peer Group for the one-year and five-year periods and had below median performance for the three-year period, ranking in the 1st quintile, 3rd quintile and 3rd quintile, respectively, for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods and outperformed its benchmark index for the one-year period. The Board considered that the Small-Cap Momentum Fund lagged its benchmark index for the three-year and five-year periods and has lagged its benchmark index since inception (although by less than the Fund’s expense ratio as noted by the Adviser). |
Fund Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the information compiled by Lipper comparing each Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate (which included the effect of any fee waivers) and total expense ratios as a percentage of average net assets to other funds in its expense Peer Group. In this regard, the Board considered the contractual and actual management fees and total expense ratios of each Fund on a quintile basis as compared to its Peer Group and noted the relative position of each Fund within the Peer Group. In particular, the Board considered the following:
| | |
116 | | Annual Report | June 30, 2016 |
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
| • | | 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 actual management fee and total expenses are higher than its Peer Group, partially due to the performance based portion. The Board also considered that the expense ratios in the Lipper Report are as of the most recent fiscal year end (June 30, 2015), a period in which the Adviser explained that the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund had a positive relative five-year return, which would have included a performance based component. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expense ratio were in the 3rd quintile, 5th quintile and 3rd quintile, respectively, of its Peer Group. |
| • | | With respect to the Ultra-Small Company Fund, the management fee and total expenses are significantly lower than its Peer Group. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expense ratio were in the 1st quintile, 2nd quintile and 1st quintile, respectively, of its Peer Group. |
| • | | With respect to the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund, the management fee and total expenses are significantly lower than its Peer Group. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expense ratio were in the 1st quintile of its Peer Group. |
| • | | With respect to each of the Small-Cap Growth Fund and Small-Cap Value 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 Group. The Board considered that each Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expense ratio were in the 1st quintile of its respective Peer Group. |
| • | | 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 its respective Peer Group. The Board considered that each Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expense ratio were in the 1st quintile of its respective Peer Group. |
In addition, the Board 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 Board 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, as applicable.
The foregoing comparisons assisted the Board by providing them with a basis for evaluating each Fund’s management fee and expense ratio on a relative basis. The Independent Directors concluded that the fees and expenses of each Fund were fair and reasonable in relation to the services and benefits provided to each Fund.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the materials they received from the Adviser regarding its revenues and costs in providing investment management and certain administrative services to the Funds and the Company as a whole. In particular, the Board considered the analysis of the Adviser’s profitability with respect to each Fund, calculated for the years ended December 31, 2012, December 31, 2013, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. The Board also considered the Adviser’s representations that allocating expenses on a Fund-by-Fund basis to calculate Fund-by-Fund profitability is a subjective, and somewhat arbitrary, process since the Adviser does not track expenses or maintain staff on a Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board also considered the Adviser’s representations that profit margins for certain years can be affected by the seven to one total compensation cap for Adviser staff members (also referred to as “Partners”) (i.e., no Partner can make more than seven times the total compensation of the lowest paid Partner). The Board also considered that the Adviser was operating some Funds at a loss but that the Adviser’s overall business is profitable. Additionally, the Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that its financial strength has improved over the past year and that the Adviser has significant financial resources to support ongoing operations and future growth despite currently operating some of the Funds at a loss. In reviewing the profitability information, the Board also considered the potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to the Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds, which are discussed below.

OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
Economies of Scale
With respect to whether economies of scale are realized by the Adviser as a Fund’s assets increase and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors, the Board considered, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, the current level of advisory fee charged and fee structure and concluded that the Adviser’s fee structure with respect to each Fund was appropriate at this time. The Board noted that the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund and Ultra-Small Company Fund each have fee breakpoints in their management fee schedules although the Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that neither Fund is at a size currently to benefit from such breakpoints. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that although the Aggressive Investors 1 Fund and Ultra-Small Company Fund are not currently at an asset level at which they can take advantage of the breakpoints contained in its fee schedules, the fee schedules are structured so that when the assets of each Fund increases, 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 Board considered the Adviser’s representation 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 Board considered the Adviser’s explanation 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, Blue Chip 35 Index Fund, Managed Volatility Fund and Small-Cap Momentum Fund do not have fee breakpoints in their management fee schedules, the Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that these Funds were priced low relative to peers and ahead of the economies of scale curve at launch.
“Fallout” or Ancillary Benefits
The Board considered whether there were any “fallout” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to the Adviser as a result of its relationships with the Funds. In terms of potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits to the Adviser due to its position as manager of the Funds, the Board noted that the Adviser continues to use no soft dollars and its administrative services to the Funds are structured to approximate an at-cost relationship, including after the proposed increase in the administrative services fees. The Board also considered that the Adviser may experience certain reputational and marketing benefits due to its relationships with the Funds. The Board concluded that the benefits accruing to the Adviser by virtue of its relationship to the Funds appeared to be reasonable.
* * * * *
After evaluation of the performance, fee and expense information and the profitability, ancillary benefits and other considerations as described above, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that the level of fees to be paid to the Adviser with respect to each Fund is reasonable.
In summary, based on all relevant information and factors discussed above, none of which was individually determinative of the outcome, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, determined that the approval of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of each applicable Fund. As a result, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the renewal of the Management Agreement.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES | |  |
June 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you will incur no transaction costs from such Fund, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends or on other distributions. There are no exchange fees. Shareholders are subject to redemption fees on the Ultra-Small Company Market and Small-Cap Momentum Funds under certain circumstances. However, as a shareholder of a Fund, you will incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2016 and held until June 30, 2016.
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 positive for the June 2016 quarter. Broad market returns for the quarter were up 2.63%, as represented by the Russell 3000 Index.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, stocks were up 2.14%. The performance difference between growth and value stocks was mixed across the market-cap spectrum. Small-cap stocks significantly lagged larger stocks during the year, with mid-cap value stocks delivering the best returns, up 3.25%, followed by large-cap growth stocks (3.02%) and large-cap value stocks (2.86%).
The following table presents returns for 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 U.S. stock returns.

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 6/30/16

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, 2016, we held 671 such stocks in a market-cap weighted style. We make no attempt to track any particular index in either performance or statistics.
The Fund’s bias toward deeper-value stocks, as measured by Bridgeway’s value metrics models, detracted from relative results as those deeper value stocks underperformed the Index during the quarter. By design, the Fund does not hold Utilities sector stocks and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Those assets performed very well during the quarter, which hurt the Fund’s relative returns. Our Fund’s higher weighting in Energy and Materials stocks contributed positively to relative returns, as did holdings in the Information Technology sector.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
The Fund’s greater relative weighting in smaller stocks detracted from fiscal-year performance. A bias toward deeper-value stocks also hurt relative returns. However, increased exposure to higher momentum stocks boosted relative performance.
Lack of exposure to Utilities sector stocks and REITs, which performed well during the 12-month period, hurt relative performance. An overweighting of the Energy sector also detracted from results. By contrast, holdings in the Consumer Staples and Information Technology sectors helped relative results, as did holdings of Financials stocks other than REITs.

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, 2016, 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, 2016
Dear Fellow Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, our Fund returned 2.86%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (4.31%).
For the fiscal year, our Fund returned -3.42%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Value Index (-2.58%).
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.
Standardized Returns as of June 30, 2016
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | Annualized |
| | Quarter | | 1 Year | | 5 Years | | Since Inception (12/31/10) |
| | | | |
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund | | | | 2.86% | | | | | -3.42% | | | | | 7.90% | | | | | 8.45% | |
Russell 2000 Value Index | | | | 4.31% | | | | | -2.58% | | | | | 8.15% | | | | | 8.11% | |
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 as of June 30, 2016, Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund ranked 141st of 307 small-cap value funds for the 12 months ended June 30, 2016, 120th of 235 over the last five years, and 82nd of 220 such funds since inception in December 2010. Lipper is an independent mutual fund rating service owned by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. 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 6/30/16

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, 2016, we held 650 such stocks in a market-cap weighted style. We make no attempt to track any particular index in either performance or statistics.
The Fund’s bias toward deeper-value stocks, as measured by Bridgeway’s value metrics models, detracted from relative results as those deeper value stocks underperformed the Index during the quarter. By design, the Fund does not hold Utilities stocks and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Those assets performed very well during the quarter, which hurt the Fund’s relative performance. However, our Fund’s higher weightings in the Energy and Materials sectors contributed positively to relative returns, as did holdings in the Information Technology sector.
Detailed Explanation of Fiscal Year Performance
Our Fund’s bias toward smaller stocks detracted from relative results as small-cap stocks generally underperformed large-cap stocks during the 12-month period. A bias toward deeper value stocks also hurt relative performance. However, the Fund benefited from its increased exposure to higher momentum stocks.
A lack of exposure to Utilities stocks and REITs negatively impacted relative performance, as did holdings in the Energy sector. By contrast, the Fund’s holdings in the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors boosted relative returns, as did holdings of Financials stocks other than REITs.

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, 2016, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | |  |
June 30, 2016
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 10 investment funds as of June 30, 2016 (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, 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, 2016, 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 and Small-Cap Value 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016
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, 2016 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, 2016, the Omni Small-Cap Value Fund and the Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund each transferred a security with a value of $206,125 from Level 2 to Level 1, due to the market becoming active. There were no transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 in any of the Funds.
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, 2016
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 market value of securities on loan, all of which are classified as common stocks in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments, and the value of the related collateral are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of Investments at value.
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, 2016:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | Gross Amount Not Offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | |

1 | Collateral with a value of $16,705,782 and $41,830,680 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 an individual counterparty is not shown here for financial reporting purposes. |
It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract. As of June 30, 2016, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016
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, 2016. Any material change to the expense limitation would require a vote by shareholders of the applicable Fund.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Bridgeway Fund | | Expense Limitation | | Total Waivers and Reimbursements for Year Ending 06/30/16 |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Omni Small-Cap Value* | | | | 0.60% | | | | | $561,512 | |
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value* | | | | 0.60% | | | | | 547,245 | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
*The Funds are authorized to reimburse the Adviser for management fees previously waived and/or for expenses previously paid by the Adviser, provided, however, that any reimbursements must be paid at a date not more than three years after the fiscal year in which the Adviser waived the fees or reimbursed the expenses and that the reimbursements do not cause the Funds to exceed the expense limitation in the agreement. The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund has recoupable expenses of $367,842, $480,284 and $561,512, which expire on June 30, 2017, June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019 respectively. The Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund has recoupable expenses of $382,335, $479,218 and $547,245, which expire June 30, 2017, June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2019 respectively.
Other Related Party Transactions: The Bridgeway Funds will engage in inter-portfolio trades with other Bridgeway Funds when it is to the benefit of both parties. The Board of Directors reviews these trades quarterly. Inter-portfolio purchases and sales for the Funds during the year ended June 30, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Bridgeway Fund | | Inter-Portfolio Purchases | | Inter-Portfolio Sales |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Omni Small-Cap Value | | | | $27,556,098 | | | | | $15,451,273 | |
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | | | | 21,889,654 | | | | | 23,323,996 | |
The Adviser entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Bridgeway, pursuant to which the Adviser provides various administrative services to the Funds including, but not limited to: (i) supervising and managing various aspects of the Funds’ business and affairs; (ii) selecting, overseeing and/or coordinating activities with other service providers to the Funds; (iii) providing reports to the Board of Directors as requested from time to time; (iv) assisting and/or reviewing amendments and updates to the Funds’ registration statement and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (v) providing certain shareholder services; (vi) providing administrative support in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors; and (vii) providing certain record-keeping services. Prior to July 1, 2016 for its services to all of the Bridgeway Funds, the Adviser was paid an aggregate annual fee of $590,000, payable in equal monthly installments. Effective July 1, 2016, the
| | |
40 | | Annual Report | June 30, 2016 |
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016
Adviser will be paid an aggregate annual fee of $665,000, payable in monthly installments. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the allocation of this expense to the Omni Small-Cap Value and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Funds was $119,791 and $106,901, 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. Effective November 13, 2015, Independent Directors are paid $7,500 per meeting for meeting fees. Prior to November 13, 2015, Independent Directors were paid $6,250 per meeting. 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, 2016 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Purchases | | Sales |
| | U.S. Government | | Other | | U.S. Government | | Other |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Omni Small-Cap Value | | | $ | - | | | | $ | 232,452,437 | | | | $ | - | | | | $ | 118,902,608 | |
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | | | | - | | | | | 197,873,670 | | | | | - | | | | | 130,156,092 | |
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, 2016, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Omni Small-Cap Value | | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value |
Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost) | | | | $112,359,317 | | | | | $106,353,542 | |
Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value) | | | | (32,794,625 | ) | | | | (30,323,994 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | | $ 79,564,692 | | | | | $ 76,029,548 | |
Cost of investments for income tax purposes | | | | $496,421,238 | | | | | $473,704,821 | |
The differences between book and tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are due to wash sale loss deferrals and basis adjustments on passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), and partnerships.

Classifications of Distributions Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.
The tax character of the distributions paid by the Funds during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Omni Small-Cap Value | | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value |
| | Year Ended June 30, 2016 | | Year Ended June 30, 2015 | | Year Ended June 30, 2016 | | Year Ended June 30, 2015 |

Long-Term Capital Gain | | | | - | | | | | 20,389,241 | | | | | - | | | | | 14,502,076 | |
Total | | | $ | 4,704,613 | | | | $ | 22,867,898 | | | | $ | 3,274,284 | | | | $ | 15,269,477 | |
At June 30, 2016, the Omni Small-Cap Value and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Funds had net short-term capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $9,051,476 and $8,573,286, respectively, which are available to reduce future required distributions of net capital gains to shareholders for an unlimited period. These capital losses will retain their character as short-term capital losses.
Components of Accumulated Earnings As of June 30, 2016, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Omni Small-Cap Value | | | | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | | | $ 2,918,574 | | | | | | | | | | $ 4,983,051 | |
Accumulated Net Realized Loss on Investments | | | | (9,051,476 | ) | | | | | | | | | (8,573,286 | ) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation of Investments | | | | 79,564,692 | | | | | | | | | | 76,029,548 | |
Total | | | | $73,431,790 | | | | | | | | | | $72,439,313 | |
For the fiscal year June 30, 2016, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications to the accounts listed below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Increase (Decrease) |
| | Omni Small-Cap Value | | | | Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value |
Paid-in-Capital | | | $ | 293,634 | | | | | | $ | 433,310 | |
Undistributed Net Investment Income | | | | (164,911 | ) | | | | | | (306,858 | ) |
Accumulated Net Realized Loss on Investments | | | | (128,723 | ) | | | | | | (126,452 | ) |
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 15, 2016. Advances under the Facility are limited to $15,000,000 in total for all Bridgeway Funds, and advances to each Bridgeway Fund shall not exceed certain limits set forth in the credit agreement, including, but not limited to, the maximum amount a Bridgeway Fund is permitted to borrow under the 1940 Act.
The Bridgeway Funds incur a commitment fee of 0.07% 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, 2016, borrowings by the Funds under this line of credit were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Bridgeway Fund | | Weighted Average Interest Rate | | Weighted Average Loan Balance | | Number of Days Outstanding | | Interest Expense Incurred1 | | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period |

On June 30, 2016, Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value had a loan outstanding in the amount of $500,000, exclusive of interest payable on the loan.
8. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

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
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016 (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 13, 2016, 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 reaching its decisions, the Board considered the information furnished and discussed throughout the year at regularly scheduled Board or committee meetings, as applicable and as described above, and reviewed and considered the information provided specifically in relation to the annual consideration of the approval of the Management Agreement.
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 Board was 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”) as determined and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly, Lipper, Inc.) (hereinafter “Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data; |
| | |

Although the Management Agreement for all of the Funds were considered at the same Board meeting, the Directors considered each Fund separately.
In considering the aforementioned information, the Board 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; |
| ● | | 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 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 active and passive 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 Adviser’s representation that it 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 Board periodically during the year. |
In view of the broad scope and variety of factors and information, the Directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching their conclusions and determinations to approve the Management Agreement for an additional year. Rather, the approval determination was made on the basis of each Director’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken in their entirety. Although not meant to be all-inclusive, the following describes some of the factors that were considered by the Board in deciding to approve the continuance of the Management Agreement for each Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In examining the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Directors considered the qualifications, experience and capability of the Adviser’s personnel and the extent of care and conscientiousness with which the Adviser performs its duties. In addition, the Directors considered information provided by the Adviser regarding its overall financial strength and considered the resources and staffing in place with respect to the services provided to the Funds, including (but not limited to) consideration of the Adviser’s skills and experience in statistical analysis and investment management and trading. The Board also considered that, in addition to providing investment management services to the Funds, the Adviser is also responsible for developing and maintaining policies and procedures to ensure that the Funds comply with applicable rules and regulations. Finally, the Board considered that the Adviser provides certain administrative services under the Administrative Services Agreement approximately at cost to the Funds, although it was noted the annual fees under the Administrative Services Agreement were proposed to be increased at this Meeting.
| | |
OTHER INFORMATION (continued) | |  |
June 30, 2016 (unaudited)
Based on the totality of the information considered, the Directors concluded that the Funds were likely to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services, and that the Adviser has the ability to continue to provide these services based on its experience, operations and current resources.
Investment Performance
Lipper provided a report (the “Lipper Report”) of comparative data regarding fees, expenses and performance for each Fund as compared to a peer group selected by Lipper (“Peer Group”). In particular, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund, as applicable, over the most recent calendar year (“one-year period”) and the annualized performance over the most recent three calendar year period (“three-year period”), five calendar year period (five-year period”) and ten calendar year period (“ten-year period”). With regard to the performance information provided in the Lipper Report, the Board considered the performance of each Fund on a percentile and quintile basis as compared to its Peer Group. For purposes of the performance data provided, the first quintile is defined as 20% of the funds in the applicable Peer Group with the highest performance and the fifth quintile is defined as 20% of the funds in the applicable Peer Group with the lowest performance. The Board reviewed performance information in the Lipper Report as of December 31, 2015 for each Fund and considered the following:
| ● | | With regard to the Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund, the Board considered that the Fund has outperformed the median of its Peer Group, ranking in the 2nd quintile, 2nd quintile and 3rd quintile, respectively, for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods, and has outperformed its benchmark index for the same time periods as well as since inception. |
| ● | | With regard to the Omni Small-Cap Value Fund, the Board considered that, during this Fund’s short operating history, the Omni Small-Cap Value Fund has outperformed the median of its Peer Group, ranking in the 3rd quintile and 2nd quintile, respectively, for the one-year and three-year periods. The Board also considered that the Omni Small-Cap Value Fund has outperformed its benchmark index for the same time periods and since inception. |
Fund Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the information compiled by Lipper comparing each Fund’s contractual management fee rate, actual management fee rate (which included the effect of any fee waivers) and total expense ratios as a percentage of average net assets to other funds in its expense Peer Group. In this regard, the Board considered the contractual and actual management fees and total expense ratios of each Fund on a quintile basis as compared to its Peer Group and noted the relative position of each Fund within the Peer Group. In particular, the Board considered that each Fund’s management fee and total expenses are significantly lower than its respective peer group and that each Fund’s contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expense ratio were in the 1st quintile of its respective peer group.
In addition, the Board 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 foregoing comparisons assisted the Board by providing them with a basis for evaluating each Fund’s management fee and expense ratio on a relative basis. The Independent Directors concluded that the fees and expenses of each Fund were fair and reasonable in relation to the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

Profitability
The Board reviewed the materials they received from the Adviser regarding its revenues and costs in providing investment management and certain administrative services to the Funds and the Company as a whole. In particular, the Board considered the analysis of the Adviser’s profitability with respect to each Fund, calculated for the years ended December 31, 2012, December 31, 2013, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. The Board also considered the Adviser’s representations that allocating expenses on a Fund-by-Fund basis to calculate Fund-by-Fund profitability is a subjective, and somewhat arbitrary, process since the Adviser does not track expenses or maintain staff on a Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board also considered the Adviser’s representations that profit margins for certain years can be affected by the seven to one total compensation cap for Adviser staff members (also referred to as “Partners”) (i.e., no Partner can make more than seven times the total compensation of the lowest paid Partner). The Board also considered that the Adviser was operating the Funds at a relatively low profit margin. Additionally, the Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that its financial strength has improved over the past year and that the Adviser has significant financial resources to support ongoing operations and future growth. In reviewing the profitability information, the Board also considered the potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to the Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds, which are discussed below.
Economies of Scale
With respect to whether economies of scale are realized by the Adviser as a Fund’s assets increase and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors, the Board considered, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, the current level of advisory fee charged and fee structure and concluded that the Adviser’s fee structure with respect to each Fund was appropriate at this time. The Independent Directors considered the Adviser’s explanation that although the Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund and Omni Small-Cap Value Fund do not have fee breakpoints in their management fee schedules, these Funds were priced low relative to peers and ahead of the economies of scale curve at launch.
“Fallout” or Ancillary Benefits
The Board considered whether there were any potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits that may accrue to the Adviser as a result of its relationships with the Funds. In terms of potential “fallout” or ancillary benefits to the Adviser due to its position as manager of the Funds, the Board noted that the Adviser continues to use no soft dollars and its administrative services to the Funds are structured to approximate an at-cost relationship, including after the proposed increase in the administrative services fees. The Board also considered that the Adviser may experience certain reputational and marketing benefits due to its relationships with the Funds. The Board concluded that the benefits accruing to the Adviser by virtue of its relationship to the Funds appeared to be reasonable.
* * * * *
After evaluation of the performance, fee and expense information and the profitability, ancillary benefits and other considerations as described above, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that the level of fees to be paid to the Adviser with respect to each Fund is reasonable.
In summary, based on all relevant information and factors discussed above, none of which was individually determinative of the outcome, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, determined that the approval of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of each applicable Fund. As a result, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, approved the renewal of the Management Agreement.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES | |  |
June 30, 2016 (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, 2016 and held until June 30, 2016.
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.
