A. Description of the Advisory Firm
B. Types of Advisory Services
Selection of Other Advisers Services
Bridgeway may direct clients to third-party investment advisers to manage all or a portion
of the client's assets. Before selecting other advisers for clients, Bridgeway ensures those
other advisers are properly licensed and registered as an investment adviser. Bridgeway
conducts due diligence on third-party investment advisers, which may involve the
following: phone calls, background checks, regulatory filing reviews, meetings and
review of the third-party adviser's performance and investment strategy. These
investments may be allocated either through the third-party adviser's fund or through a
separately managed account managed by such third-party adviser on behalf of
Bridgeway's client. Bridgeway may also allocate among one or more private equity funds
or private equity fund advisers. Bridgeway reviews ongoing performance of third-party
advisers.
Financial Planning
Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to: investment
planning; life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and
debt/credit planning.
Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments
Bridgeway generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income securities,
insurance products including annuities, equities, hedge funds, private equity funds, ETFs
(including ETFs in the gold and precious metal sectors), treasury inflation
protected/inflation linked bonds, non-U.S. securities and private placements. Bridgeway
may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable.
Pooled Investments
Bridgeway has created pooled vehicles including BWAY SPV 1 LLC, BWAY SPV 2 LLC
and BWAY SPV 3, LLC. Only accredited investors may participate in these pools. These
vehicles represent private investment and should only be considered by investors who
have the liquidity and financial wherewithal to be able to hold an illiquid investment for
a prolonged period of time. These investments also have higher fees – including the
potential for a carried interest – and higher up front or ongoing fees. In addition,
Bridgeway or its employees may render periodic or ongoing services to the companies
that these entities invest
in.
Bridgeway offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client
investment strategies and the implementation thereof are dependent upon the individual
client Investment Policy Statement which outlines each client’s current situation (income,
tax levels, and risk tolerance levels). In addition, Clients may impose restrictions in
investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or
beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent Bridgeway from properly servicing a client
account, or if the restrictions would require Bridgeway to deviate from its standard suite
