Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Performance across domestic equity markets was positive for the December quarter. However, those gains were not enough to offset poor performance from earlier in 2022. Stocks in all size and style categories had negative returns for the year, but value stocks outperformed growth stocks across all size categories. Large-cap value stocks delivered the year’s best performance, while large-cap growth stocks had the worst performance. 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 the calendar year. We hope you find the letters helpful.
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

December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Market Review
Domestic equity markets rose during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 as investors reacted to signs of moderating inflation in October and November by driving stock prices higher. The positive trend reversed in December amid concerns about a potential recession, but the decline did not erase the quarter’s earlier gains. However, positive fourth-quarter performance was not enough to offset declines from earlier in the calendar year, which were largely driven by high inflation and the US Federal Reserve’s series of aggressive interest rate hikes. The S&P 500 returned +7.6% for the quarter, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) returned +16.0%. For the calendar year, the S&P 500 and the DJIA returned -18.1% and -6.9%, respectively.
All US equity style categories, as defined by Russell Indices, recorded positive returns for the quarter. Larger stocks outperformed smaller stocks in the value style category, but smaller stocks outperformed larger stocks in the growth style category. As a result, large-cap value stocks had the best performance during the quarter, returning +12.4%. Large-cap growth stocks had the worst performance on a relative basis, returning +2.2%.
All sectors of the S&P 500 except for the Consumer Discretionary and Communication Services sectors had positive returns for the quarter. The Energy sector recorded the largest gains, returning +23.1%, followed by Industrials (+19.2%) and Materials (+15.2%). The Consumer Discretionary sector had the worst performance, returning -10.2%.

Dear Fellow Aggressive Investors 1 Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, our Fund returned +7.02%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+7.56%), but outperforming the Russell 2000 Index (+6.23%). It was a good quarter on an absolute basis, and a mixed quarter on a relative basis.
For the calendar year, our Fund returned -22.38%, underperforming the S&P 500 Index (-18.11%), and the Russell 2000 Index (-20.44%).
The table below presents our December quarter, six months, 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.

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

Growth of a $10,000 Investment
from Inception August 5, 1994 to December 31, 2022
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Fund’s quality and sentiment models lagged the benchmark during the quarter, detracting from relative results. However, the Fund’s value metrics models outperformed the benchmark and offset some of this negative impact. By design, the Fund invests in higher beta (exhibit greater sensitivity than the broader market) and higher volatility stocks, and this positioning detracted from relative returns during the quarter. In contrast, the Fund’s tilt toward deeper value stocks helped relative results as value stocks outperformed growth stocks in the large-cap space. An overweighting in the benchmark’s smaller stocks also helped the Fund’s relative performance during the quarter.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s allocation effect was positive. Overweightings in the Energy and Materials sectors and an underweighting in the Communication Services sector contributed most to relative performance. The Fund’s stock selection effect was negative, primarily driven by holdings in the Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Energy sectors.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Fund’s quality models underperformed the benchmark and detracted from relative results. However, the Fund’s sentiment and value metrics models outperformed the benchmark, partially offsetting this negative impact. Overweight exposure to higher beta and higher volatility stocks detracted from relative returns during the year. In contrast, the Fund’s tilt toward smaller stocks and deeper value stocks across multiple valuation metrics helped relative performance during the year.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s allocation effect was positive, primarily driven by an overweighting in the Energy sector and an underweighting in the Communication Services sector. The Fund’s stock selection effect was negative, with holdings in the Communication Services, Information Technology, and Health Care sectors detracting the most from relative performance.

Important Disclosure
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2022, 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

Aggressive Investors 1 Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) |
|
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.
Conclusion
Thank you for your continued investment in Aggressive Investors 1 Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

December 31, 2022
Dear Fellow Ultra-Small Company Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, our Fund returned +10.14%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell Microcap Index (+4.72%), the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index (+0.53%), and the Russell 2000 Index (+6.23%). It was a good quarter.
For the calendar year, our Fund returned -10.72%, outperforming the Russell Microcap Index (-21.96%), the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index (-25.05%), and the Russell 2000 Index (-20.44%).
The table below presents our December quarter, six months, one-year, five-year, 10-year, 15-year, and inception-to-date financial results.

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 Microcap Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the US equity market. Microcap stocks make up less than 3% of the US equity market (by market cap) and consist of the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, plus the next 1,000 smallest eligible securities by market cap. The Russell Microcap Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the microcap segment trading on national exchanges. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected and companies continue to reflect appropriate capitalization and value characteristics. 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 CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index is an unmanaged index of 769 of the smallest publicly traded US stocks (with dividends reinvested), as reported by the Center for Research on Security Prices. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.

Ultra-Small Company Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) |
|
Growth of a $10,000 Investment
from Inception August 5, 1994 to December 31, 2022
* | 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’s quality and value model categories outperformed the benchmark during the quarter, boosting relative returns. However, the Fund’s sentiment model category lagged the benchmark and offset some of this positive impact. The Fund’s tilt toward deeper value stocks across multiple valuation metrics improved relative results during the quarter. In contrast, the Fund’s tilt toward the smallest stocks in the US stock market (CRSP 9 and CRSP 10 universes) detracted from relative performance. During the quarter, the Fund held approximately 96% of its assets, on average, in CRSP 9 and CRSP 10, versus approximately 33% for the benchmark.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s allocation effect was positive, largely driven by overweightings in the Energy, Materials, and Health Care sectors. The Fund’s stock selection effect was strongly positive. Holdings in the Health Care, Financials, and Information Technology sectors added the most to relative performance.

Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Fund’s quality and value model categories outperformed the benchmark during the year, adding to relative results. Under-performance by the Fund’s sentiment model offset some of this positive impact. The Fund’s tilt toward deeper value stocks across multiple valuation metrics improved relative performance. In contrast, the Fund’s tilt toward the smallest stocks in the US stock market (CRSP 9 and CRSP 10 universes) detracted from relative results. During the year, the Fund held approximately 96% of its assets, on average, in CRSP 9 and 10, versus approximately 38% for the benchmark.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s allocation effect was positive. An overweighting in the Energy sector and an underweighting in the Health Care sector contributed the most to relative results. The Fund’s stock selection effect was strongly positive, largely driven by holdings in the Industrials, Energy, Information Technology, and Health Care sectors.

Important Disclosure
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2022, unless otherwise stated. Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
The Fund is subject to very high, above market risk (volatility) and is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in ultra-small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies and even “small companies” for various reasons, such as narrower markets (fewer investors), limited financial resources and greater trading difficulty.
Conclusion
Ultra-Small Company Fund remains closed to new investors. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

December 31, 2022
Dear Fellow Ultra-Small Company Market Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, our Fund returned +4.40%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell Microcap Index (+4.72%). The Fund also underperformed the Russell 2000 Index (+6.23%). The Fund outperformed the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index (+0.53%). It was a poor quarter on a relative basis, but a good one on an absolute basis.
For the calendar year, our Fund returned -23.40%, underperforming the Russell Microcap Index (-21.96%), and the Russell 2000 Index (-20.44%). The Fund outperformed the CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index (-25.05%).
The table below presents our December quarter, six months, one-year, five-year, 10-year, 15-year, and inception-to-date financial results.

Performance figures quoted in the table above represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results.

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 Microcap Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the US equity market. Microcap stocks make up less than 3% of the US equity market (by market cap) and consist of the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, plus the next 1,000 smallest eligible securities by market cap. The Russell Microcap Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the microcap segment trading on national exchanges. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected and companies continue to reflect appropriate capitalization and value characteristics. 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 CRSP Cap-Based Portfolio 10 Index is an unmanaged index of 769 of the smallest publicly traded US stocks with dividends reinvested, as reported by the Center for Research on Security Prices. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.

Ultra-Small Company Market Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) |
|
Growth of a $10,000 Investment
from Inception July 31, 1997 to December 31, 2022
* | 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’s investment universe focuses on the smallest stocks within the US stock market (CRSP 10 universe). This tilt toward the market’s smallest stocks detracted from relative results, as CRSP 10 stocks underperformed the Russell Microcap Index. On average, the Fund held about 84% of its assets in the CRSP 10 universe, versus 16% for the benchmark during the quarter. In contrast, the Fund’s sidestepping strategies, which eliminate exposure to stocks with high probability of a steep price decline, major financial distress or bankruptcy, helped performance relative to the CRSP 10 universe.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s stock selection effect was negative. Holdings in the Health Care and Industrials sectors detracted the most from relative performance.

Ultra-Small Company Market Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) |
|
Security positions can and do change thereafter. Discussions of historical performance do not guarantee and may not be indicative of future performance.
The Fund is subject to very high, above-market risk (volatility) and is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. Investments in ultra-small companies generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies and even “small companies” for various reasons, such as narrower markets (fewer investors), limited financial resources, and greater trading difficulty.
Conclusion
Thank you for your continued investment in Ultra-Small Company Market Fund. We encourage your feedback; your reactions and concerns are important to us.
Sincerely,
The Investment Management Team

Dear Fellow Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, our Fund returned +10.43%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (+8.42%). It was a good quarter.
For the calendar year, our Fund returned -7.74%, leading the Russell 2000 Value Index (-14.48%).
The table below presents our December quarter, six months, one-year, five-year, 10-year, 15-year, and inception-to-date financial results.

Performance figures quoted in the table above represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results. Total return figures in the table above include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The Russell 2000 Value Index is an unmanaged index that consists of stocks in the Russell 2000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values with dividends reinvested. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.

Growth of a $10,000 Investment
from Inception October 31, 2003 to December 31, 2022
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
All three of the Fund’s model categories outperformed the benchmark during the quarter, adding to relative results. The Fund’s tilt toward deeper value stocks across multiple valuation metrics improved relative returns. However, its tilt toward smaller stocks in the small-cap value universe detracted from relative performance as smaller companies generally under-performed during the quarter.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s allocation effect was positive. An underweighting in the Health Care sector and overweightings in the Materials and Consumer Discretionary sectors added the most to relative results. The Fund’s stock selection effect was also positive, with holdings in the Health Care, Financials, and Information Technology sectors adding the most to relative results.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
All three of the Fund’s model categories outperformed the benchmark, improving relative results. The Fund’s tilt toward deeper value stocks across multiple valuation metrics boosted relative returns during the year, although its tilt toward smaller stocks in the small-cap value universe detracted.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s allocation effect was positive. An overweighting in the Energy sector made the largest positive contribution to relative results. The Fund’s stock selection effect was also strongly positive. Holdings in the Energy and Industrials sectors added the most to relative returns, with holdings in the Utilities and Materials sectors also making significant contributions.

Important Disclosure
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter-end, December 31, 2022, 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.

December 31, 2022
Dear Fellow Managed Volatility Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, our Fund returned +4.21%, underperforming our primary market benchmark, the S&P 500 Index (+7.56%). The Fund performed in line with its design during the quarter.
For the calendar year, our Fund returned -4.93%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index (-18.11%).
The table below presents our December quarter, six months, one-year, five-year, 10-year, 15-year, and inception-to-date financial results.

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. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Periods longer than one year are annualized.

Managed Volatility Fund MANAGER’S COMMENTARY (Unaudited) (continued) |

Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
For the quarter, the Fund captured 56% of the S&P 500 Index’s return. The Fund had an annualized standard deviation of 8.86% during the quarter, which was 64% lower than the S&P 500’s annualized standard deviation of 24.92% during the same period. Standard deviation is a statistical tool that measures the deviation or dispersion of the data from the mean or average. When related to funds and indexes, it tells you how much the return from the Fund portfolio or index holdings is straying from the expected return, based on historical performance.
The portfolio’s futures component detracted from results, returning -1.2%. This performance was in line with expectations during a quarter characterized by a rising equity market. The portfolio’s equities component added the most to the Fund’s results, returning +3.1%. The portfolios options and fixed income components also helped the Fund’s performance, returning +2.0% and +0.2%, respectively.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
For the calendar year, the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s annualized standard deviation of 10.16% was 59% lower than the S&P 500’s annualized standard deviation of 24.51% during the same period.
The portfolio’s equities component detracted from the Fund’s performance, returning -11.4%. However, the portfolio’s options and futures components added to results, returning +3.3% and +3.0%, respectively. The portfolio’s fixed income component also added to the Fund’s returns, returning +0.2.
The Fund continues to perform as designed, particularly over longer time horizons. For the past 10 years and since inception, the Fund has captured roughly 36% and 54%, respectively, of the S&P 500’s return. The Fund’s annualized standard deviation has been about 59% lower than the index’s for the last 10 years, and about 56% lower since inception.

Important Disclosure
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter end, December 31, 2022, 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

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 seven investment funds as of December 31, 2022. The Aggressive Investors
1, Ultra-Small Company, Ultra-Small Company Market, Small-Cap Value, 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.
Small-Cap Growth Fund was reorganized into Small-Cap Value Fund on September 24, 2021. (See Note 9).
Bridgeway is authorized to issue 1,915,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2022, 15,000,000 shares have been classified into the Ultra-Small Company Fund. 100,000,000 shares each have been classified into the Aggressive Investors 1, Ultra-Small Company Market, Omni Small-Cap Value, Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value, 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).
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, and Small-Cap Value Funds seek to provide a long-term total return-on-capital, primarily through capital appreciation.
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, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser for all of the Funds.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
Following is a summary of significant accounting policies that are followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds. They 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 that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, bids, offers and current market quotations by a pricing service. Options are valued at the close if there is trading volume, and if there is no trading volume, the options are valued at the bid on long positions and the ask on the short positions.
Investments in open-end registered investment companies and closed-end registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value (“NAV”) per share.

December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Investments in closed-end registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded.
When market quotations are not readily available or when events occur that make established valuation methods unreliable, securities of the Funds may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” to make all necessary determinations of fair value. 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 Adviser does 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 US 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.
• | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser’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 Adviser uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the Adviser 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 Adviser in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Adviser due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting value and therefore the results of the Funds’ operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. A summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2022 is included with each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Details regarding material transfers into, and material transfers out of, Level 3, if any, can be found at the end of each Schedule of Investments for Funds that held Level 3 securities.
Securities Lending Upon lending its securities to third parties, each participating 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. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous. 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 unrealized 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 cash collateral are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of Investments at value. Securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and can be terminated by the Funds or the borrower at any time. During the period ended December 31, 2022 the Managed Volatility Fund did not have any securities lending transactions.
The following table is a summary of the Funds’ payable upon return of securities loaned and related cash collateral, which are subject to a netting agreement as of December 31, 2022:

It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from, or return excess collateral to, the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract. As of December 31, 2022, the collateral consisted of an institutional government money market fund and US Government Obligations.
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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk The Funds maintain cash and securities in its custody account, maintained by a high-credit, quality financial institution. Cash balances may, at times, exceed the FDIC insurance limit. Cash balances are generally invested in a short-term investment vehicle, which minimizes the risk of cash balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit.
Sector Concentration Risk Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad categories called sectors. Although each Fund seeks investments across a number of sectors, from time to time, based on economic conditions, each Fund may have significant positions in particular sectors. A certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As more assets are held in a specific sector, a Fund’s performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other developments which generally affect that sector.
Risks and Uncertainties The Funds provide for various investment options, including stocks, bonds, and call and put options. Such investments are exposed to 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.
The global pandemic outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 has resulted in substantial market volatility and global business disruption, affecting the global economy and the financial health of individual companies in significant and unforeseen ways. COVID-19 has resulted in, among other things, travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, significant disruptions to business operations, market closures, cancellations and restrictions, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, and significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Instability in the United States, European and other credit markets has made it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing or refinancing on attractive terms or at all. In particular, because of the current conditions in the credit markets, borrowers may be subject to increased interest expenses

for borrowed money and tightening underwriting standards. In addition, stock prices as well as yield could be negatively impacted to the extent that issuers of equity securities cancel or announce the suspension of dividends or share buybacks. The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to inhibit global, national, and local economic activity, and constrain access to capital and other sources of funding. Various recent government interventions have been aimed at curtailing the distress to financial markets caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. There can be no guarantee that these or other economic stimulus plans (within the United States or other affected countries throughout the world) will be sufficient or will have their intended effect. In addition, an unexpected or quick reversal of such policies could increase market volatility, which could adversely affect a Fund’s investments. The duration and future impact of COVID-19 are currently unknown, which may exacerbate the other risks that apply to a Fund and could negatively affect Fund performance and the value of your investment in a Fund.
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 as related to the Managed Volatility Fund, discounts and premiums are accreted/amortized using the effective interest method. Income from the securities lending program is recorded when earned from the securities lending agent and reflected in the Statement of Operations under “Securities lending.”
Fund expenses that are not series-specific are allocated to each series based upon its relative proportion of net assets to the Funds’ total net assets or other appropriate basis.
Distributions to Shareholders The Funds pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains annually, usually in December.
Derivatives The Funds’ use of derivatives for the period ended December 31, 2022 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 December 31, 2022, as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, and the amounts of realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period ended December 31, 2022, 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
68 | Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
|
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
to the broker an amount of cash or US 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 counter-party risk to the Funds, since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had no open futures contracts.
Options 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 Managed Volatility Fund may write call options on a covered basis; that is, the Fund will own the underlying security, or the 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.
Outstanding written options as of December 31, 2022 for the Managed Volatility Fund are included in the Schedule of Investments.
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 Fund and Small-Cap Value Fund each have management fees that are comprised of a base fee, which is applied to the Fund’s average annual net assets, and a performance adjustment, which adjusts the fee upward or

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
|
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
downward depending on a Fund’s performance relative to the applicable market index over a rolling five-year performance period, and is applied to the Fund’s average daily net assets over this performance period.
Because the performance adjustment is based on a Fund’s performance relative to the applicable market index, and not the Fund’s absolute performance, the performance adjustment could increase the Adviser’s fee even if the Fund’s shares lose value over the performance period, provided that the Fund outperformed its market index, or could decrease the Adviser’s fee even if the Fund’s shares increase in value during the performance period, provided that the Fund underperformed its market index. Also, depending on a Fund’s performance relative to the applicable market index over the rolling five-year performance period, the performance adjustment could increase the Adviser’s fee even if the Fund has experienced underperformance relative to its market index in the short-term, or could decrease the Adviser’s fee even if the Fund has experienced outperformance relative to its market index in the short-term. However, no performance fee adjustment will be applied to the Adviser’s fee if the cumulative difference between a Fund’s performance and that of the applicable market index is less than or equal to 2% over the rolling five-year performance period.
Additionally, because the base fee is applied to average annual net assets, and the performance adjustment is calculated over a rolling five-year performance period, it is possible that if a Fund underperforms the applicable market index significantly over the performance period, and the Fund’s assets have declined significantly over that performance period, the negative performance adjustment may exceed the base fee. In this event, the Adviser would make a payment to the Fund.
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 net assets in excess of $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 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 Value Index, 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 Performance and the Index performance is less than or equal to 2%.
Managed Volatility: The Fund’s advisory fee is a flat 0.60% of the value of the 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 management 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

The Adviser entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Bridgeway, pursuant to which the Adviser provides various administrative services to the Funds, including, but not limited to: (i) supervising and managing various aspects of the Funds’ business and affairs; (ii) selecting, overseeing and/or coordinating activities with other service providers to the Funds;(iii) providing reports to the Board of Directors as requested from time to time; (iv) assisting and/or reviewing amendments and updates to the Funds’ registration statement and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (v) providing certain shareholder services; (vi) providing administrative support in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors; and (vii) providing certain record-keeping services. For its services to all of the Bridgeway Funds, the Adviser is paid an annual aggregate fee of $150,000, payable in equal monthly installments. For the allocation of this expense to each of the Funds, please see the Statements of Operations.
Board of Directors Compensation Independent Directors are paid an annual retainer of $20,000, 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. In addition, Independent Directors are paid $14,000 per meeting for meeting fees. Such compensation is the total compensation from all Bridgeway Funds and is allocated among the Bridgeway Funds.
Independent 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 Statements 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 Funds.

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 the Funds are 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 as of December 31, 2022, were as follows:
Aggressive Investors 1 | Ultra-Small Company | Ultra-Small Company Market | ||||
Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost) | $12,822,905 | $15,643,182 | $42,912,536 | |||
Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value) | (14,983,377) | (18,420,153) | (61,409,060) | |||
Net unrealized (depreciation) | $(2,160,472) | $(2,776,971) | $(18,496,524) | |||
Cost of investments for income tax purposes | $142,275,738 | $86,579,682 | $221,165,960 | |||
Small-Cap Value | Managed Volatility | |||||
Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost) | $57,068,645 | $7,349,769 | ||||
Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value) | (57,702,930) | (544,734) | ||||
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $(634,285) | $6,805,035 | ||||
Cost of investments for income tax purposes | $537,735,310 | $20,725,488 |
The differences between book and tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily due to wash sale and straddle loss deferrals.
Classifications of Distributions Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.
The tax character of the distributions paid by the Funds during the last two fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 respectively, are as follows:

December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
For the fiscal year June 30, 2022, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications to the accounts listed below:
Increase (Decrease) | ||||||
Aggressive Investors 1 | Ultra-Small Company | Ultra-Small Company Market | ||||
Paid-In Capital | $14,690 | $510,366 | $6,839,365 | |||
Distributable Earnings | (14,690) | (510,366) | (6,839,365) | |||
Increase (Decrease) | ||||||
Small-Cap Value | Managed Volatility | |||||
Paid-In Capital | $(8,217,491) | $(26,780) | ||||
Distributable Earnings | 8,217,491 | 26,780 |
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, excess distributions, the write-off of unused net operating loss, redesignation of dividends paid, investments in PFICs and the unrealized gains/(losses) from the reorganization of the Small-Cap Growth Fund into the Small-Cap Value Fund.
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 the individual 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 October 6, 2023. 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 0.10% 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 facility fees are payable quarterly in arrears and are allocated to all participating Funds. Interest expense is charged directly to a Fund based upon actual amounts borrowed by such Fund.
For the period ended December 31, 2022, borrowings by the Funds under this line of credit were as follows:
Bridgeway Fund | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Weighted Loan Balance | Number Outstanding | Interest Expense Incurred1 | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period | ||||||||||||||||||||
Aggressive Investors 1 | 3.82% | $370,444 | 18 | $708 | $1,132,000 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Ultra-Small Company Market | 3.54% | 507,259 | 27 | 1,346 | 1,991,000 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Small-Cap Value | 3.31% | 2,759,643 | 28 | 7,101 | 5,823,000 | ||||||||||||||||||||
1Interest expense is included on the Statements of Operations in Miscellaneous expenses. |
|
On December 31, 2022, Ultra-Small Company Market Fund had loans outstanding in the amount of $1,025,000, exclusive of interest payable on the loans.

8. Redemption Fees
In Ultra-Small Company Market Fund, a 2% redemption fee may be charged on shares held less than six months. The fee is charged for the benefit of the remaining shareholders and will be paid to the Fund to help offset transaction costs. The fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

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 Fund under certain circumstances. However, as a shareholder of a Fund, you will incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2022 and held until December 31, 2022.
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.

Growth of a $10,000 Investment
from Inception August 31, 2011 to December 31, 2022
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund is designed to capture the returns of the small-cap value asset class through broad diversification of small company and value stocks. This approach is sometimes referred to as “passive, asset class investing.” As of December 31, 2022, we held 580 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 tilt toward deeper value stocks across multiple valuation metrics improved relative returns during the quarter. However, the Fund’s tilt toward smaller stocks in the small-cap value universe detracted from relative results, as the benchmark’s larger stocks generally outperformed during the quarter.
By design, the Fund does not hold Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) or Utilities stocks. The lack of exposure to REITs benefited relative results, but the lack of exposure to the Utilities stocks dragged on relative performance as the Utilities sector outperformed the benchmark during the quarter.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Fund’s tilt toward deeper value stocks across multiple valuation metrics boosted relative results during a period in which value stocks outperformed growth stocks. However, a tilt toward smaller stocks in the small-cap value universe detracted from relative results as smaller stocks underperformed their larger counterparts for the year.
By design, the Fund does not hold Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Utilities stocks. Our lack of exposure to REITs boosted relative results, but the lack of exposure to Utilities stocks detracted from relative performance.

Important Disclosure
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter-end, December 31, 2022, 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.

Dear Fellow Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund Shareholder,
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, our Fund returned +11.40%, outperforming our primary market benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index (+8.42%). It was a good quarter.
For the calendar year, our Fund returned -5.01%, outperforming the Russell 2000 Value Index (-14.48%).
The table below presents our December quarter, six months, one-year, five-year, 10-year, and inception-to-date financial results. See the next page for a graph of performance since inception.

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.

Growth of a $10,000 Investment
from Inception December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2022
Detailed Explanation of Quarterly Performance
The Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund is designed to capture the returns of the small-cap value asset class through broad diversification of small company and value stocks. We also seek to minimize the distribution of capital gains within the constraints of the investment objective. This approach is sometimes referred to as “passive, asset class investing.” As of December 31, 2022, we held 587 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 relative results benefited from its tilt toward deeper value stocks across multiple valuation metrics. However, the Fund’s tilt toward smaller stocks in the small-cap value universe detracted from relative returns, as the benchmark’s smallest stocks underperformed their larger counterparts during the quarter.
By design, the Fund does not hold Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) or Utilities stocks. The lack of exposure to REITs boosted relative results while the lack of exposure to Utilities stocks detracted from relative returns during the quarter.
Detailed Explanation of Calendar Year Performance
The Fund’s tilt toward deeper value stocks across multiple valuation metrics added to relative returns during a period in which value stocks outperformed growth stocks. However, the Fund’s tilt toward smaller stocks in the small-cap value universe dragged on relative results, as smaller stocks underperformed their larger counterparts.
By design, the Fund does not hold Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Utilities stocks. The lack of exposure to REITs boosted relative results, while the Fund’s lack of exposure to Utilities stocks detracted from relative returns.

Important Disclosure
The views expressed here are exclusively those of Fund management. These views, including those related to market sectors or individual stocks, are not meant as investment advice and should not be considered predictive in nature. Any favorable (or unfavorable) description of a holding applies only as of the quarter-end, December 31, 2022, 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.

36 | Semi-Annual Report | December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
1. Organization
Bridgeway Funds, Inc. (“Bridgeway” or the “Company”) was organized as a Maryland corporation on October 19, 1993, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company.
Bridgeway is organized as a series fund, with seven investment funds as of December 31, 2022 (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 Value, and Managed Volatility Funds are presented in a separate report. The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund and the Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) are presented in this report.
Bridgeway is authorized to issue 1,915,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2022, 15,000,000 shares have been classified into the Ultra-Small Company Fund. 100,000,000 shares each have been classified into the Aggressive Investors 1, Ultra-Small Company Market, Omni Small-Cap Value, Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value, and Small-Cap Value Funds. 50,000,000 shares have been classified into the Managed Volatility Fund.
The Funds are no-load, diversified funds.
The Funds seek to provide long-term total return on capital, primarily through capital appreciation.
Bridgeway Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser for all of the Funds.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
Following is a summary of significant accounting policies that are followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds. They 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. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” to make all necessary determinations of fair value. 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 |
| ||
bridgewayfunds.com | 37 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | ![]() | |
| ||
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
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 Adviser does 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 US 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.
• | Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser’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 Adviser uses one or more valuation techniques for which sufficient and reliable data is available. The inputs used by the Adviser 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 Adviser in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Adviser due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting value, and, therefore the results of the Funds’ operations.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. A summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of December 31, 2022 is included with each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Details regarding material transfers into, and material transfers out of, Level 3, if any, can be found at the end of each Schedule of Investments for Funds that held Level 3 securities.
Securities Lending Upon lending its securities to third parties, each participating 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. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous. 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 unrealized 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 cash collateral are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of Investments at value. Securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous and can be terminated by the Funds or the borrower at any time.
The following table is a summary of the Funds’ payable upon return of securities loaned and related cash collateral, which are subject to a netting agreement as of December 31, 2022:

The following table summarizes the securities received as non-cash collateral and cash collateral for securities lending:

| $24,116,261 | $18,298,857 | $42,415,118 | $41,485,953 |
It is each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from, or return excess collateral to, the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract. As of December 31, 2022, the collateral consisted of an institutional government money market fund and US Government Obligations.
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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk The Funds maintain cash and securities in its custody account maintained by a high-credit, quality financial institution. Cash balances may, at times, exceed the FDIC insurance limit. Cash balances are generally invested in a short-term investment vehicle, which minimizes the risk of cash balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit.

December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
Sector Concentration Risk Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad categories called sectors. Although each Fund seeks investments across a number of sectors, from time to time, based on economic conditions, each Fund may have significant positions in particular sectors. A certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As more assets are held in a specific sector, a Fund’s performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other developments which generally affect that sector.
Risks and Uncertainties The Funds provide for various investment options, including stocks. Such investments are exposed to 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.
The global pandemic outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 has resulted in substantial market volatility and global business disruption, affecting the global economy and the financial health of individual companies in significant and unforeseen ways. COVID-19 has resulted in, among other things, travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in health-care service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, significant disruptions to business operations, market closures, cancellations and restrictions, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, and significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Instability in the United States, European and other credit markets has made it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing or refinancing on attractive terms or at all. In particular, because of the current conditions in the credit markets, borrowers may be subject to increased interest expenses for borrowed money and tightening underwriting standards. In addition, stock prices as well as yield could be negatively impacted to the extent that issuers of equity securities cancel or announce the suspension of dividends or share buybacks. The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to inhibit global, national and local economic activity, and constrain access to capital and other sources of funding. Various recent government interventions have been aimed at curtailing the distress to financial markets caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. There can be no guarantee that these or other economic stimulus plans (within the United States or other affected countries throughout the world) will be sufficient or will have their intended effect. In addition, an unexpected or quick reversal of such policies could increase market volatility, which could adversely affect a Fund’s investments. The duration and future impact of COVID-19 are currently unknown, which may exacerbate the other risks that apply to a Fund and could negatively affect Fund performance and the value of your investment in a Fund.
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. Income from the securities lending program is recorded when earned from the securities lending agent and reflected in the Statements of Operations under “Securities lending.”
Bridgeway Funds’ expenses that are not series-specific are allocated to each series based upon its relative proportion of net assets to the Bridgeway Funds’ total net assets or other appropriate basis.
Distributions to Shareholders The Funds pay dividends from net investment income and distribute realized capital gains annually, usually in December, and are recorded on the ex-date.
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 of 0.50% of the value of each Fund’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | ![]() | |

December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
Expense limitations: The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Funds to ensure the total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed 0.60% of the Funds’ average net assets. Any material change to this contractual expense limitation would require a vote by shareholders of the applicable Fund. Effective January 1, 2020, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses in an additional amount such that the net fiscal year expense ratio for each Fund does not exceed 0.47%. Fees waived for the period ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:
Bridgeway Fund | Voluntary Expense Limitation | Total Waivers for Period Ended 12/31/22 | ||||||
| ||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value* | 0.47% | $1,223,328 | ||||||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value* | 0.47% | 879,065 |
*The Funds are authorized to reimburse the Adviser for management fees previously waived and/or for expenses previously paid by the Adviser to meet the 0.60% contractual expense limitation provided, however, that any reimbursements must be paid at a date not more than three years after the Adviser waived the fees or reimbursed the expenses and that the reimbursements do not cause the Funds to exceed the expense limitation in effect at the time of the waiver or the current expense limitation, if different. The Omni Small-Cap Value Fund has recoupable expenses of $ 418,055, $ 755,915, $ 836,967 and $ 1,075,642, which expire no later than June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025, June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund has recoupable expenses of $ 321,343, $ 580,513, $ 552,382 and $ 761,967, which expire no later than June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025, June 30, 2024 and June 30 2023, 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 a report on inter-portfolio trades quarterly. Inter-portfolio purchases and sales for the Funds during the period ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:
Bridgeway Fund | Inter-Portfolio Purchases | Inter-Portfolio Sales | ||||||
| ||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value | $ 18,142,064 | $ 21,953,501 | ||||||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | 18,571,970 | 22,039,847 |
The Adviser entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Bridgeway Funds, pursuant to which the Adviser provides various administrative services to the Funds including, but not limited to: (i) supervising and managing various aspects of the Funds’ business and affairs; (ii) selecting, overseeing and/or coordinating activities with other service providers to the Funds; (iii) providing reports to the Board of Directors as requested from time to time; (iv) assisting and/or reviewing amendments and updates to the Funds’ registration statement and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (v) providing certain shareholder services; (vi) providing administrative support in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors; and (vii) providing certain record-keeping services. For its services to all of the Bridgeway Funds, the Adviser is paid an annual aggregate fee of $150,000, payable in equal monthly installments. During the period ended Decem-ber 31, 2022, the allocation of this expense to the Omni Small-Cap Value and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Funds was $29,056 and $20,113, respectively.
Board of Directors Compensation Independent Directors are paid an annual retainer of $20,000, 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. In addition, Independent Directors are paid $14,000 per meeting for meeting fees. Such compensation is the total compensation from all Bridgeway Funds and is allocated among the Bridgeway Funds.
Independent 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 Statements 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 Funds.
4. Distribution Agreement:
Foreside Fund Services, LLC acts as distributor of the Funds’ shares, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement dated September 30, 2021. 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, if any.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term securities, for each Fund for the year ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||||||||||||
Bridgeway Fund | U.S. Government | Other | U.S. Government | Other | ||||||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value | $— | $210,988,718 | $— | $301,361,245 | ||||||||||||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | — | 177,440,110 | — | 236,447,786 |
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 the Funds are 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 as of December 31, 2022, were as follows:
Omni Tax- | ||||
Omni Small-Cap | Managed Small- | |||
Value | Cap Value | |||
Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost) | $289,789,345 | $194,756,537 | ||
Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value) | (69,841,643) | (42,815,406) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation | $219,947,702 | $151,941,131 | ||
Cost of investments for income tax purposes | $931,672,312 | $666,546,943 |
The differences between book and tax net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily due to wash sales and passive foreign investment companies (PFICs).
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.

As of June 30, 2022, Omni Small-Cap Value Fund and Omni Tax-Managed Small Cap Value Fund utilized capital loss carryfor-wards of $13,117,348 and $48,973,864, respectively.
Components of Accumulated Earnings As of June 30, 2022, the components of accumulated deficit on a tax basis were:
Omni Small-Cap | Omni Tax- | |||||||
Accumulated Net Investment Income | $6,071,985 | $10,031,722 | ||||||

Total | $425,476,141 | $256,482,207 |
For the fiscal year June 30, 2022, the Funds recorded the following reclassifications to the accounts listed below:
Increase (Decrease) | ||||
Omni | Omni Tax-Managed | |||
Small-Cap Value | Small-Cap Value | |||
Paid-In Capital | $14,425,549 | $5,693,793 | ||
Accumulated Earnings | (14,425,549) | (5,693,793) |
The differences 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.
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 the individual Funds’ 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 canceled earlier, the Facility shall be held available until October 6, 2023. Advances under the Facility are limited to $15,000,000 in total for all Bridgeway 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | ![]() | |

December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
The Funds incur a commitment fee of 0.10% 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 facility 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 Bridgeway Fund.
For the period ended December 31, 2022, 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 | Interest Expense Incurred1 | Maximum Amount Borrowed During the Period | |||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Omni Small-Cap Value | 5.09% | $4,234,923 | 13 | $7,783 | $13,500,000 | |||||||||||||||
Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value | 4.80% | 1,945,300 | 20 | 5,190 | 7,000,000 | |||||||||||||||
1Interest expense is included on the Statements of Operations in Miscellaneous expenses. |
|
As of December 31, 2022, Omni Small-Cap Value and Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value had no outstanding loan amounts.
8. Subsequent Events
On August 25, 2022, the Board of Directors of Bridgeway Funds, Inc., on behalf of the Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund (“OTMSCV Fund”), approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) providing for the reorganization of OTMSCV Fund into EA Bridgeway Omni Small-Cap Value ETF (the “Omni ETF”) a newly-organized series of the EA Series Trust. Under the Plan, the OTMSCV Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to the Omni ETF in exchange for shares of the Omni ETF, which will be distributed to shareholders of the OTMSCV Fund at the same total value as held in the OTMSCV Fund immediately prior to the reorganization. The Plan is subject to approval by the shareholders of the OTMSCV Fund. The purpose of the reorganization is to convert the OTMSCV Fund into an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”).

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 under-stand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2022 and held until December 31, 2022.
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.
