Fund Description
divspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"of large market capitalization companies that the Fund considers to have growth characteristics./span/divdivspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"The Fund considers large market capitalization companies to be those with market capitalizations within the market capitalization range of the companies in /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"the Russell 1000® Index. The Russell 1000 Index measures the performance of approximately 1,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on total market /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"capitalization. As of /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"February 28, 2026/spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;", the Russell 1000 Index consisted of companies with market capitalizations of $/spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"1.1 billion/spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;" and greater. The Fund /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"considers a company to have growth characteristics if it is a constituent of the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Russell 1000 Growth Index includes those /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values./span/divdivspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"The Fund’s sub-advisor, Numeric Investors LLC (“Numeric”), uses a proprietary model-driven quantitative approach to select equity securities (typically common /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"stocks) of companies that have, in its opinion, attractive valuations, positive long-term growth characteristics, sustainable competitive advantages, relatively /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"benign competitive environments, and favorable industry dynamics. In seeking to achieve this goal, stocks are selected from the universe using a balance of /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"proprietary quantitative models that blend fundamental investment concepts with other uncorrelated drivers of stock returns to aid in forecasting a company’s /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"long term business prospects. A discretionary overlay based on fundamental research supplements the quantitative models to verify data, validate /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"assumptions, and incorporate any insights that may not be picked up by the models. The discretionary overlay is expected to operate only to exclude stocks /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"from the portfolio that have been recommended by the models. The overlay will not identify stocks for investment outside of the models./span/divdivspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"Based on statistically driven rules in the quantitative models, securities are sold in Numeric’s discretion for various reasons, including, without limitation, when /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"they fall into the bottom 50% of the stock selection universe, the reasons for selecting the stock are no longer valid, or when necessary to maintain the risk /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"profile of the overall Fund. Subject to the Fund’s 80% investment policy stated above, Numeric will not necessarily sell a stock if it “migrates” outside the /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Index after purchase or if a stock is no longer a constituent of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. As a result, the /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"Fund may invest in stocks that are no longer large-cap growth stocks, including stocks of mid-capitalization companies and stocks that exhibit value /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"characteristics. /span/divdivspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stocks that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American, or Nasdaq./spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;" /span/divdivspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"Although the Fund seeks investments across a number of sectors, from time to time, the Fund may have significant positions in particular sectors, including /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"the Information Technology sector. However, as the sector composition of the Fund’s portfolio changes over time, the Fund’s exposure to the Information /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"Technology sector may be lower at a future date, and the Fund’s exposure to other market sectors may be higher./span/divdivspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"The Fund may invest cash balances in a government money market fund advised by the Manager, with respect to which the Manager receives a management /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"fee. The Fund also may purchase and sell equity index futures contracts to gain market exposure on cash balances or reduce market exposure in anticipation /spanspan style="clear:both;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:8.02pt;;"of liquidity needs. The Fund may seek to earn additional income by lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions./span/div

John, CIO and President,founded Bridgeway in 1993.He worked with computer modeling and quantitative methods as a research engineer at MIT in the late 1970s. Later, as a student at Harvard, he investigated methods to apply modeling to portfolio management. He began applying these methods to his investments in 1985. Over the next 6 years, this style proved more successful than even John had expected. He left his full-time position in the transportation industry at the end of 1991 to perform full-time research on his models, study the mutual fund industry, and write a business plan for Bridgeway.
