Overview
Investment Objective
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 S&P 500® Index with dividends reinvested serves as a proxy for the "stock market" in this objective.
Investment Strategy
The Fund uses a proprietary, statistical approach to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks of companies of any size that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, and Nasdaq. The Fund seeks to achieve its risk objective by investing in stocks that Bridgeway identifies as having a lower probability of price decline over the long term, although the stock price may be more volatile over the short term. The Fund may invest in stocks that have relatively low market liquidity based upon Bridgeway's analysis of the stock's trading volume.
The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading and may employ aggressive investment techniques such as: leveraging; buying and selling futures and options on individual stocks, stock market indexes, or commodities; short-sale transactions; concentration of holdings; and short-term trading. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in foreign securities (i.e., companies domiciled outside the US or deriving 50% or more of total earnings from activities outside the US).

Disclosures
The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating," is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36–59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60–119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Bridgeway Aggressive Investors 1 was rated against the following number of US domiciled mid-cap blend funds over the following time periods: 1302 funds over the last three years, 1192 funds over the last five years, and 888 funds over the last 10 years. With respect to these mid-cap blend funds, Bridgeway Aggressive Investors 1 Fund received a Morningstar Rating of one stars, two stars, and two star for the three-, five-, and ten year periods respectively.
Morningstar rankings are based on a fund's average annual total return relative to all funds in the same Morningstar category. Fund performance used within the rankings, reflects certain fee waivers, without which, returns and Morningstar rankings would have been lower.

Total return figures include the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Some of the fees were waived or expenses reimbursed; returns would have been lower had this not been the case. Returns do not reflect the taxes that a shareholder who owned this Fund in a taxable account would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
Market volatility can significantly impact short-term performance. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for short-term investors. In addition, market turbulence and reduced liquidity in the markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Funds. Investments in the small companies within this multi-cap fund generally carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies. This additional risk is attributable to a number of factors, including the relatively limited financial resources that are typically available to small companies, and the fact that small companies often have comparatively limited product lines. In addition, the stock of small companies tends to be more volatile than the stock of large companies, particularly in the short term and particularly in the early stages of an economic or market downturn. The Fund's use of options, futures, and leverage can magnify the risk of loss in an unfavorable market, and the Fund's use of short-sale positions can, in theory, expose shareholders to unlimited loss. Finally, the Fund exposes shareholders to "focus risk" which may add to Fund volatility through the possibility that a single company can 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.
The S&P 500® Index is a broad-based, unmanaged measurement of the stock market, based on the average performance, over any given period, of 500 widely held common stocks. The Russell 2000® Index is an unmanaged, market-value-weighted index that measures the performance of the 2,000 companies that are between the 1,000th and 3,000th largest in the market. All indexes assume that all dividends are reinvested. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Holdings and sector weightings are subject to change without notice. Percentages may not total 100 due to rounding. Price-to-earnings ratios, price-to-book ratios, price-to-cash flow ratios, and price-to-sales ratios all express the value of a stock's most recent closing price as divided by the underlying company's earnings per share, book value per share, cash flow per share, or revenues per share (respectively), all as computed over the previous 12 months. Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of the Fund relative to the S&P 500® over the past three years. A beta above one is more volatile than the overall market, while a beta below one is less volatile.
