     The Annual Meeting of the shareholders of Bridges Investment Fund, Inc., a

     1. To elect a Board of ten (10) Directors, as provided in Proposal 1 below;

     2. To approve or reject the continuance of the investment advisory contract
        with Bridges Investment Management, Inc. as investment adviser to the

     4. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.


     This proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors to be voted at the Annual
Meeting or any adjournment thereto. The cost of the Proxy solicitations will be
paid by the investment adviser for the Fund. Additional solicitation may be made
by mail, personal interview, or telephone by Fund personnel, and no compensation
will be paid therefore. The cost of any such additional solicitation will also
be paid by the Fund's investment adviser. This proxy statement and form of proxy
card are first being mailed to shareholders on or around February 28, 2007.

     If you do not expect to be present, please sign the enclosed Proxy and mail
it to Proxy Tabulator, P.O. Box 9122, Farmingdale, New York 11735. You may also
vote by telephone or the Internet. Your telephone or Internet vote authorizes
the named proxies to vote your shares in the same manner as if you marked,
signed and returned your proxy card. Please do not return the enclosed proxy
card if you are voting by telephone or on the Internet. For further instructions
on voting by telephone or via the Internet, please see the instructions on the
enclosed proxy card.

     All valid Proxies obtained will be voted in favor of the election of
directors unless specified to the contrary. With respect to the approval of the
investment advisory contract (Proposal 2 above) and the ratification of the
selection of accountants (Proposal 3 above), all valid Proxies will be voted in
accordance with the designation on the Proxies. If no designation is made,
Proxies will be voted in favor of the proposals. Each shareholder has the power
to revoke his or her Proxy at any time prior to the voting thereof by sending a
letter to the Fund's office or by executing a new Proxy. The giving of a Proxy
will not affect your right to vote in person if you attend the Annual Meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, all shareholders in attendance will be given an
opportunity to revoke their Proxies and to vote personally on each matter
described herein.

     The Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is being
mailed with this Proxy Statement, includes a statement of assets and liabilities
as of December 31, 2006, and a statement of income and expenses for the year
ended that date. Any shareholder who desires additional copies may obtain them
upon request at the office of the Fund, 256 Durham Plaza, 8401 West Dodge Road,
Omaha, Nebraska 68114; phone number: (402) 397-4700.

     The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on January 31, 2007,
as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of,
and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The transfer books of the Fund will not be
closed.


                                       1





     On January 31, 2007, the Fund had outstanding 2,336,228 shares of capital
stock, par value $1 per share. In the election of directors, shareholders are
entitled to cumulative voting, which means that each share is entitled to as
many votes as there are directors to be elected. Such votes may all be cast for
one nominee or distributed among as many nominees and in such proportions as the
holder sees fit. The ten (10) nominees with the most votes will be elected as
directors (Proposal 1). Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote
the proxies received by them equally for each nominee shown in this Proxy
Statement. In other matters, each share is entitled to one vote. The affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the capital stock
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the continuance of
the investment advisory contract (Proposal 2). The affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock present and
entitled to vote either in person or by proxy is required to approve the
ratification of Deloitte and Touche LLP as the Fund's independent public
accountants for the year ending December 31, 2007 (Proposal 3).

     Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the
meeting, who will separately count "For" and (with respect to proposals other
than the election of directors) "Against" votes, abstentions and broker
non-votes. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a
beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does
not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not
received instructions with respect to that proposal from the beneficial owner
(despite voting on at least one other proposal for which it does have
discretionary authority or for which it has received instructions). Abstentions
will be counted toward the vote total for each proposal, and will have the same
effect as "Against" votes. With respect to Proposals 1 and 3, broker non-votes
have no effect and will not be counted toward the vote total for any proposal.
With respect to Proposal 2, broker non-votes will have the same effect as
"Against" votes.

     In order to transact business at the Annual Meeting, a quorum must be
present. Under the Fund's By-Laws, a quorum is present if the holders of a
majority of the total number of outstanding shares as of the record date are
represented at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. Abstentions and
broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum
is present.

                                  PROPOSAL ONE
                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     In accordance with the Fund's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, the
Fund's Board of Directors set the size of the Fund's Board of Directors at ten
(10) directors. The Fund's By-Laws provide for the election of these directors
who will serve until the next Annual Meeting of the shareholders and until their
successors are elected and qualified. The Fund's Board of Directors has amended
the Fund's By-Laws to provide the Board of Directors discretion to select the
date and time of the Annual Meeting, provided such date is no longer than six
months after the end of the Fund's fiscal year or fifteen months after the
Fund's last annual meeting.

     In April, 2003, the Fund's Administration and Nominating Committee adopted
a retirement policy whereby directors of the Board will not stand for reelection
in the year in which that director becomes 72 unless the Administration and
Nominating Committee determines that an exception is applicable to an individual
that continues to be employed in an executive position with a service provider
of the Fund or an individual that has a significant portion of his or her net
worth invested in the Fund. The Administration and Nominating Committee has
granted an exception from the application of such policy to Mr. Edson L. Bridges
II in view of his 44 years of experience with the leadership and management of
the Fund and its affiliates and to Mr. Estabrook and Mr. Smith in recognition of
their families' significant holdings in the Fund. Mr. Edson L. Bridges II and
Mr. Smith have elected not to stand for re-election as Board members after the
2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. At December 31, 2006, Mr. Bridges II
beneficially owned 77,553 shares, or 3.32%, and Mr. Smith beneficially owned
27,535 shares, or 1.18% of the Fund shares.

     The persons named in the enclosed Proxy intend to nominate and vote in
favor of the election of the nominees listed below, all of whom have consented
to serve the term for which they are standing for election. If for any reason
any of the nominees shall become unavailable for election, the vacancy may be
filled by the Board of Directors in accordance with the By-Laws, and the Proxy
will be voted for nominees selected by the Board of Directors, unless the Board
of Directors determines not to fill such vacancy.

     The determination of an interested person is based on the definition in
Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Securities and
Exchange Commission Release (Release No. IC-24083, dated October 14, 1999),
providing additional guidance to investment companies about the types of
professional and business relationships that


                                       2




may be considered to be material for purposes of Section 2(a)(19). Interested
persons include a director or officer of the Fund who has a significant or
material business or professional relationship with the Fund's investment
adviser, Bridges Investment Management, Inc. Those individuals who are not
"interested persons" are disinterested persons for this disclosure. Bridges
Investment Fund, Inc. considers these proposed Board members to be "independent
directors" exercising care, diligence and good business judgment with respect to
the governance of the Fund.

     The following information is furnished as to the proposed nominees whose
terms of office will run from March 27, 2007 to the 2008 annual meeting and
until their successors are elected and qualified:

(1)  Mr. Bridges II and Mr. Smith have elected not to stand for re-election as Board members after the 2007
     Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Bridges II intends to continue as an officer of the Fund.


     With respect to Proposal 1 (the election of directors), shareholders are
entitled to cumulative voting, which means that each share is entitled to as
many votes as there are directors to be elected. Such votes may all be cast for
one nominee or distributed among as many nominees and in such proportions as the
holder sees fit. The ten (10) nominees with the most votes will be elected as
directors. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies
received by them equally for each nominee shown in this Proxy Statement.


                                       12





                                  PROPOSAL TWO
                       APPROVAL OF THE CONTINUANCE OF THE
                          INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT


     At the 2007 Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and act
upon a proposal to continue the investment advisory contract between the Fund
and Bridges Investment Management, Inc. (BIM). If approved, the BIM investment
advisory contract would be effective as of April 17, 2007 for an additional
annual period, through April 17, 2008. The continuation of the BIM investment
advisory agreement was approved by the Fund shareholders at the 2005 and 2006
Annual Meetings for the respective periods.

Terms of BIM Advisory Agreement

     The BIM advisory agreement continues in effect only so long as such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Fund
Directors, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Fund; in either case, the terms of the BIM advisory agreement and any renewal
thereof must have been approved by the vote of a majority of directors who are
not parties to the advisory agreement or interested persons of any such party,
cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
The BIM advisory agreement may be terminated by either party on sixty days'
written notice and terminates automatically if assigned.

     Under the BIM advisory agreement, BIM will furnish continuing investment
supervision for the Fund and through an outsourcing agreement with BIC provide
office space, facilities, and equipment. In addition, BIM will pay all of the
expenses related to registering the Fund with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities Act of
1933 and has agreed to pay all expenses of maintaining those registrations.
Further, under this agreement, BIM has agreed to pay all expenses of initially
qualifying and maintaining the qualification of shares of the Fund in whole or
in part under the securities laws of such states as the Fund may from time to
time designate.

     For these services, the Fund agrees to pay BIM a quarterly fee of
one-eighth of one percent (1/8 of 1%) of the average net asset value of the
Fund, which equals one half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) on an annual basis, as
determined by appraisals made as of the close of each month of the applicable
quarter. However, BIM has agreed to reimburse the Fund for its total expenses
(exclusive of stamp and other taxes but including fees paid to BIM) to the
extent such expenses in the aggregate exceed one and one-half percent (1 1/2%)
of the average net asset value of the Fund for such year as determined as of the
close of each month thereof. The fees paid to BIM under the investment advisory
agreement for the fiscal year 2006 were $406,899.

Information concerning Bridges Investment Management, Inc. (BIM)

     BIM is an investment advisory firm located at 256 Durham Plaza, 8401 West
Dodge Road, Omaha, Nebraska 68114. As part of its prudent long range planning to
establish an orderly and well-managed transfer of advisory relationships, BIC
formed BIM, as a wholly owned subsidiary in late 1994, and has provided working
capital and other resources to it since 1995. Effective December 15, 2000, BIM
separated from BIC and is no longer a wholly-owned subsidiary of BIC. BIM has
been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment
adviser since December 9, 1999. The following lists the principal executive

     Officers and Directors of BIM: Edson L. Bridges III, Director, President

                                       13





     Since the commencement of active investment advisory operations in the
first quarter of 2001, BIM has grown to total assets under management of
approximately $413,300,000 at December 31, 2006. Based on Fund net assets of
$82,754,479 at December 31, 2006, the Fund represents approximately 20% of BIM's
total portfolio responsibilities. BIM does not advise any other investment
companies.

Evaluation by the Fund's Board of Directors

     The proposal to continue the investment advisory agreement with BIM was
initially made to the independent members of the Board of Directors at a meeting
of independent directors held on November 21, 2006. This proposal was then
favorably acted upon at the meeting of the Board of Directors held on November
21, 2006, with the Board recommending approval and submission to the Fund
shareholders for action at the Fund's 2007 Annual Meeting of shareholders.

     In order for the investment advisory agreement to be adopted for an
additional year, approval by the holders of the majority of the outstanding
shares of the Fund or a majority of the independent directors is necessary. As a
matter of historical practice, the Fund has obtained the approval of both the
Fund's Board of Directors and the shareholders, and it is the Board's current
intent to continue with this practice of obtaining both Board and shareholder
approval each year.

     Prior to recommending approval of the continuation of the investment
adviser agreement at their November 21, 2006 meeting, the independent Directors
of the Fund reviewed the financial resources of BIM, the investment performance
record, types of securities purchased, and asset size of the Fund in comparison
with funds of similar size and comparable investment objectives, the operating
costs relative to other funds, and other factors including the quality of
investment advice and other services set forth in a special study prepared
annually for the Board members by the investment manager. In addition, the
independent Directors reviewed the expertise, personnel, and resources BIM is
willing to commit to the management of the Fund, its compliance program, the
cost of comparable services and the benefits to be received by BIM.

     With respect to BIM's financial resources, BIM provided the Fund's Board of
Directors information showing (as of June 30, 2006) total assets of $3,063,047,
no long-term debt, and total shareholders' equity of $2,655,320, with a current
ratio (current assets to current liabilities) of 4.01% and an equity to total
assets ratio of 85.1%. With respect to investment performance record, types of
securities purchased, quality of investment advice, and operating costs, because
Edson L. Bridges III has been, and will continue as, the person responsible for
the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio, a position he has held since
April 11, 1997, and because the transfer of the investment advisory arrangement
from the predecessor investment advisor, Bridges Investment Counsel, Inc. to BIM
continued the Fund operations in similar form with minimal disruption of
operations and arrangements, the directors reviewed and focused on the Fund's
past performance and operations in their evaluation and decision.

     Based on information gathered from a leading mutual fund evaluator, the
Fund directors compared the Fund's performance criteria to funds with similar
investment objectives. The total fund comparison universe varied depending on
the time frame of the comparison and other investment parameters included, but
with respect to funds with a growth investment objective, the Fund ranked, on
percentile terms, in the 85th percentile of 1,693 funds over a trailing 12-month
period (as of September 30, 2006), 64th of 1,393 funds over a 3-year period,
36th of 1,092 funds over a 5-year period, and 44th of 415 funds over a 10-year
period.

     The Fund directors reviewed the asset allocation of the Fund, including the
percentage of Fund assets invested in stocks (88.1% as of September 30, 2006)
and bonds (4.3% as of September 30, 2006). The Fund directors also reviewed a
number of current ratios for the Fund's portfolio, including the current
price/earnings ratio of Fund stocks (15.0 as of September 30, 2006) price/cash
ratio (11.7) and price/book ratio (2.8), as well as the Fund's turnover ratio,
which moved up to 24% for the trailing twelve months, still well below the
average turnover ratio average of 89% for a comparison group of large cap growth
funds. The directors also reviewed the Fund's expense ratio, which was 0.85% for
the period ending September 30, 2006, compared to an average of 1.86% for a peer
group of 1,663 funds selected as the comparison group.

     The Fund Board also reviewed the extent to which economies of scale would
be realized as the Fund grows, and the expected impact of any growth in Fund
assets on the Fund's fee structure, including fees and expenses which are not
directly related to the size of the Fund, and provisions in agreements with
service providers which carry a lower basis charge if the Fund asset base
increases.


                                       14





     With respect to the Fund's compliance program, the Fund directors were
provided information concerning both the historical practices to ensure
compliance by Fund personnel, as well as current actions taken to strengthen the
Fund compliance structure.

     The Board of Directors noted that Edson L. Bridges III has more than 23
years experience with the Fund's portfolio and thus is very familiar with the
Fund's history and operations. The Board of Directors further noted that Edson
L. Bridges III has been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's
portfolio since April 11, 1997, with Brian Kirkpatrick as the back-up person in
this position.

     BASED ON THE FOREGOING, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE
SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL TO
CONTINUE THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT WITH BRIDGES INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT,
INC.

     At each Board of Directors meeting, the Board reviews the brokerage
commissions and fees paid with respect to securities transactions undertaken for
the Fund's portfolio during the prior three-month period for the cost efficiency
of the services provided by the brokerage firms involved, all of which brokerage
firms are non-affiliated with the Fund and BIM. The Fund's Board of Directors
reviewed in January 2006, an annual disclosure for 2005 on soft dollar
commission arrangements of BIM and the benefits that BIM, and its clients may
receive from the Fund's portfolio transactions. The Board has regularly reviewed
the brokerage commissions paid on each portfolio security transaction since
1995, and the actions taken by the management during the prior quarter with
respect to portfolio transactions and commission levels have been approved by
the Board of Directors. It is anticipated that at the May 2007 Board of
Directors meeting, the Fund's Board will review an annual disclosure for 2006 on
soft dollar commission arrangements of BIM.


                                 PROPOSAL THREE
                    RATIFICATION OR REJECTION OF SELECTION OF
                          INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT

     The Investment Company Act of 1940 provides that the accountants of an
investment company shall be selected by a majority of the members of the Board
of Directors who are not affiliated with the investment adviser of the Fund,
that such selection shall be submitted for ratification or rejection at the
Annual Meeting of the shareholders. Although the Fund has an Audit Committee
comprised of independent directors and otherwise meets the standards of SEC Rule
32a-4 which exempts it from the requirement that the independent accountant be
ratified by the shareholders, the Audit Committee has directed the submission of
the selection of the independent public accountant to the Fund shareholders for
ratification.

     On February 6, 2007, the members of the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors recommended the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as auditors for the
Fund for the year ending December 31, 2007 and directed the submission of this
recommendation to the shareholders for ratification. Through the Proxy solicited
for the Annual Meeting, you will be ratifying the selection of Deloitte & Touche
LLP as the independent public accountant for the year-ending 2007 financial
statements for the Fund. A representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be in
attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on March 27, 2007 to respond to
appropriate questions and, at the representative's discretion, to make a
statement.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND VOTE IN
FAVOR OF THE APPROVAL OF THE INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT.

Other Matters Which May Come Before the Meeting

     It is not anticipated that any action will be asked of the shareholders
other than the matters previously indicated, but if other matters are properly
brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the Proxy will vote on
such matters in accordance with their best judgment.


                                       15

     In the event shareholders holding five percent (5%) or more of the total

following the shareholder meeting at which a vote is taken. This information

Limitation of Exemption from the Proxy Rules for Certain Non-Issuer
Solicitations

     The issuer of the enclosed Proxy is the Fund. The Board of Directors of the
Fund is not aware of solicitations for Proxies by persons other than the Board
of Directors. In the event non-issuer solicitations for Proxies do occur, any
statements contained therein will be the responsibility of the solicitors that
have made such filing. Such a filing of non-issuer solicitation material with
the Securities and Exchange Commission does not constitute a finding by the
Commission that such solicitation material is accurate or complete.

Deadline for Proposals for Next Annual Meeting

     Shareholders who wish to have a proposal included in the business agenda
for the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2008 must have their
proposal filed at the office of the Fund by October 29, 2007, which date is
estimated to be approximately 120 days prior to date of the release of the Fund
Proxy Statement to shareholders for the 2008 annual meeting.

     A shareholder who wishes to make a proposal at the next Annual Meeting of
Shareholders without including the proposal in the Fund's proxy statement must
notify the Fund by January 14, 2008. If a shareholder fails to give notice by
this date, then the persons named as proxies in the proxy solicitation for the
next annual meeting will have discretionary authority to vote on the proposal.

Shareholder Communication with Board Members

     The Fund's Annual Meeting of Shareholders provides an opportunity each year
for shareholders to ask questions of or otherwise communicate directly with
members of the Fund's Board of Directors on appropriate matters. Each of the
Fund's directors is encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Six (6)
directors attended last year's Annual Meeting, and the Fund anticipates that a
similar number of its directors will attend the 2007 Annual Meeting. In
addition, shareholders may, at any time, communicate in writing with any
particular director or directors who are not "interested persons" of the Fund as
defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a group, by
sending such written communications to the attention of the Fund's Secretary at
246 Durham Plaza, 8401 West Dodge Road, Omaha, Nebraska 68114. Copies of written
communications received at such address will be provided to the relevant
director or directors as a group unless such communications are considered, in
the reasonable judgment of the Fund's Secretary, to be improper for submission
to the intended recipient(s). Examples of shareholder communications that would
be considered improper for submission include, without limitation,
solicitations, communications that do not relate directly or indirectly to the
Fund or communications that relate to improper or irrelevant topics.

Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Shareholder Documents

     Only one copy of this Proxy Statement and our 2006 Annual Report is being
sent to shareholders who have the same address unless the Fund received contrary
instructions from any shareholder at that address. This practice, known as
"householding", is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However,
if any shareholder residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate copy
of this Proxy Statement or our 2006 Annual Report, he or she may request them at
the office of the Fund, 256 Durham Plaza, 8401 West Dodge Road, Omaha, Nebraska
68114; phone number: (402) 397-4700, and the Fund will deliver those documents
to such shareholder promptly upon receiving the request. Any such shareholder
may also contact the Fund, if he or she would like to receive separate proxy
statements and annual reports in the future. If you are receiving multiple
copies of our annual report and proxy statement, you may request householding in
the future by contacting the Fund. Shareholders who participate in householding
will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

Fund's Board of Directors Meetings

     In accordance with the Fund's By-Laws, the Fund's Board of Directors has
set the size of the Fund's Board of Directors at ten (10) directors. The Board
currently is scheduled to meet four times this year. The scheduled dates for
2007 are February 20, May 15, August 21 and November 20, 2007. Board meetings
are normally held at 4:00 p.m. at the offices of the Fund. The Board addresses
all policy matters in relation to the operation of the Fund, and it reviews and
acts upon subjects involving federal and state laws and regulations governing
the Fund.

Associations

     There is no nominee or director who is a member or employee or associated
with a law firm which the Fund has used during the past two fiscal years or
proposes to retain in the current year.

     Mr. Bridges II also serves as a director of N.P. Dodge Company, of which
Mr. N. Phillips Dodge, Jr. is a CEO. Mr. Dodge has been CEO of N.P. Dodge
Company since 1997, and Mr. Bridges has served as a director of N.P. Dodge
Company since 1971. In addition, Mr. Bridges serves as a director and Vice
Chairman of the Nebraska Methodist Health System, of which Mr. L. B. Thomas also
is a director. Mr. Thomas has been a director of Nebraska Methodist Health
System since 1992, and Mr. Bridges has served as a director of Nebraska
Methodist Health System since 1981. Mr. Koslosky has served as a Director of
Methodist Hospital Foundation since 1993.

Committees

     The Fund has an Administration and Nominating Committee and an Audit
Committee, which are comprised solely of independent directors of the Fund. The
director members on each committee are identified below. No member of either
committee is an "interested person" of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     The Administration and Nominating Committee evaluates candidates'
qualifications for Board membership, including such candidates' independence
from the Fund's investment manager, and makes nominations for independent
director membership on the Board. A copy of the Administration and Nominating
Committee's charter is available on the Fund's website at www.bridgesfund.com
under "Downloads." The Administration and Nominating Committee will consider
nominees recommended by Fund shareholders. Such recommendations should be in
writing and addressed to the Fund, Attention: Administration and Nominating
Committee, with the name, address, biographical information and telephone number
of the person recommended and of the recommending person. As set forth in its
charter, the Administration and Nominating Committee periodically reviews the
composition of the Board of Directors to determine whether it may be appropriate
to add individuals with different backgrounds or skills sets from those already
on the Board. To date, the Administration and Nominating Committee has not set
any specific, minimum qualifications that the Administration and Nominating
Committee believes must be met by a committee-recommended nominee for a position
on the Fund's Board, nor has the Administration and Nominating Committee
determined a specific process for identifying and evaluating nominees for
director beyond the general criteria regarding board composition discussed
above.


                                       18





     For the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Edson L. Bridges II submitted
Robert W. Bridges as a director nominee, and Edson L. Bridges III submitted Adam
M. Koslosky as a director nominee to the Administration and Nominating
Committee. The Administration and Nominating Committee approved and recommended
these nominees to the full Board. For additional information on Edson L. Bridges
II and Edson L. Bridges III, see sections titled "Additional Officers of the
Fund" and "Interested Person Directors, Director Nominees, and Officers."

     In April, 2003, the Fund's Administration and Nominating Committee adopted
a retirement policy whereby directors of the Board will not stand for reelection
in the year in which that director becomes 72 unless the Administration and
Nominating Committee determines that an exception is applicable to an individual
that continues to be employed in an executive position with a service provider
of the Fund or an individual that has a significant portion of his or her net
worth invested in the Fund.

     The Administration and Nominating Committee also periodically reviews and
makes recommendations with respect to Board governance procedures and
compensation. The Administration and Nominating Committee also reviews the Fund
investment advisory agreement and makes recommendations to the independent
directors and the Fund's Board of Directors concerning such agreement.

     The Audit Committee establishes the scope of review for the annual audit by
the independent auditor, and its members work with representatives of the
independent auditor to establish such guidelines and tests for the audit which
are deemed appropriate and necessary. The Audit Committee has adopted
pre-approval policies and procedures. Prior to engaging the independent public
accountant to render audit or non-audit services, the engagement is approved by
the Fund's Audit Committee.

     The specific assignments to committees of the Board of Directors appear in
the two tables set forth below:

million of Fund assets, and 0.02% of Fund assets exceeding $100 million, in
addition to reimbursement for certain out of pocket expenses. These expenses are
the contracted obligation of, and will be paid by, Bridges Investment
Management, Inc. Accordingly, these sub-contracted services will not be a part
of the operating costs of the Fund.

     Distributor - Quasar Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor") serves as the
Fund's distributor. The principal executive offices of the Distributor are
located at 615 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202. The Distributor
is registered with the SEC as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and is a member of the NASD.

     The Fund may enter into distribution agreements or shareholder servicing
agreements with certain financial institutions ("Servicing Organizations") to
perform certain distribution, shareholder servicing, administrative and
accounting services for their customers ("Customers") who are beneficial owners
of shares of the Fund.

     A Service Organization may charge a Customer one or more of the following
types of fees, as agreed upon by the Service Organization and the Customer, with
respect to the cash management or other services provided by the Service
Organization: (1) account fees (a fixed amount per month or per year); (2)
transaction fees (a fixed amount per transaction processed); (3) compensating
balance requirements (a minimum dollar amount a Customer must maintain in order
to obtain the services offered); or (4) account maintenance fees (a periodic
charge based upon the percentage of assets in the account or of the dividend
paid on those assets).

Professional Appointments and Fees

     SEC rules require our Audit Committee to pre-approve all audit and
permissible non-audit services provided by our independent public accountant,
Deloitte & Touche LLP, with certain limited exceptions. The Audit Committee
annually approves the engagement of the Fund's independent public accountant and
the scope of such engagement for audit and non-audit fees and services. Our
Audit Committee has concluded that the provision of services by Deloitte &
Touche LLP not related to the audit of the financial statements is compatible
with maintaining Deloitte & Touche's independence.

     Aggregate fees for which we have been or expect to be billed for services
rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006
and 2005 are presented below.

                                          For the fiscal year ended December 31,

(1)  Audit fees consisted of services that would normally be provided in
     connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including
     services that generally only the independent accountant can reasonably
     provide.

(2)  Tax services consisted of fees for tax consultation and tax compliance
     services.

     The Fund will reimburse out of pocket expenses in addition to the fees
above that will be stated separately on invoices from Deloitte & Touche LLP. To
this date, Deloitte & Touche LLP's has not provided any consulting services to
the Fund.

     Legal fees and services performed on behalf of the Fund have been paid by
the investment adviser in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the
Fund and the investment adviser. The investment adviser will continue to pay
those legal expenses in accordance with the agreement between the Fund and the
investment adviser. The appointment of attorneys for the Fund is a matter that
is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors at its first quarter meeting.

     There are three categories of legal expenses related to the conduct of the
business affairs of Bridges Investment Fund, Inc.: (1) all amounts spent for
registering the Fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, of initially
registering and maintaining the registration of shares of the Fund under the
Securities Act of 1933, and of initially qualifying and maintaining the
qualification of shares of the Fund in whole or in part under the securities
laws of such states as the Fund may from time to time designate; (2) billings
for services to operate all areas of activities and needs for the independent
director members of the Board of Directors; and (3) the costs of a special
counsel for Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory matters. In
2005 and 2006, the Fund paid the legal expenses in category (2) as described
above.

     The expenditures for legal services paid for by the Fund during the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are summarized in the table below:


From                            Purpose                       2006        2005

Koley, Jessen, P.C. .......     For Independent Directors    $10,866     $17,823

     Payments for legal services by the investment advisers in support of the
Fund paid from the investment management fee earned by that Firm were $65,994 in
2005 and $33,027 in 2006. These expenditures are related heavily to new laws and
regulations related to anti-money laundering, the drafting of the Prospectus,
amending the Articles of Incorporation, corporate governance, privacy policies,
and responses to the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. The investment advisers devoted
17.4% and 8.12% of their fees from the Fund in 2005 and 2006 for those various
legal initiatives.
