IMPORTANT NOTICES

Must be preceded or accompanied by a Prospectus.

Opinions expressed herein are those of Edson L. Bridges III and are subject to change. They are not guarantees and should not be considered investment advice.

The S&P 500 Index is a broadly based unmanaged composite of 500 stocks which is widely recognized as representative of price changes for the U.S. equity market in general. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged composite of stocks that measures the performance of the stocks of companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values from a universe of the 1,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. You cannot invest directly in a specific index.

Free Cash Flow is a measure of financial performance calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. Free cash flow (FCF) represents the cash that a company is able to generate after laying out the money required to maintain or expand its asset base.

Cash Flow is the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents moving into and out of a business.

The Price-to-Earnings Ratio or P/E ratio is a ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its per-share earnings.

Earnings growth for a Fund holding does not guarantee a corresponding increase in market value of the holding or the Fund.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Small and medium capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility and differences in accounting methods.

While the fund is no-load, management fees and other expenses still apply.

Review of 2016 and Outlook for 2017

In 2016, U.S. equities provided solid total returns within the context of a choppy and volatile trading environment that was driven by concerns of recession in the first quarter, the surprising Brexit election in the second quarter, and the surprising election of Donald Trump in November. While these headlines created significant day-to-day stock price volatility, corporate earnings, outside of the energy sector, held together reasonably well over the course of the year and supported positive aggregate total returns for U.S. equities.

Key potential risks to our outlook for stocks include: 1) the onset of recession in the U.S. and/or worsening international economic conditions; 2) corporate earnings disappointments (which could result from persistent dollar strength), 3) a narrowing of stock valuations due to sharply higher interest rates, 4) the inability of the Trump Administration to make meaningful progress against their broad policy agenda, and 5) an escalation of global political instability and/or terrorism.

Despite the potential risks outlined above, we remain constructive on the outlook for stocks in 2017-18, and beyond, because we believe equity valuations remain close to our estimate of fair value, and because we believe corporate earnings will continue to grow on balance despite a continued challenging global economic environment. We believe that several factors that have been a headwind for U.S. corporate profits over the past eighteen months could moderate in 2017-18: commodity prices could continue their recovery, interest rates could rise, and the dollar’s strength could moderate. Some combination of higher commodity prices, higher interest rates, and a flattening out of the dollar could benefit aggregate corporate earnings.

We have established a 2017 year-end fair value target range of 2350-2425 for the S&P 500 (about 18.0x estimated 2017 earnings of $130-135), which implies upside of

Shareholder Letter

January 24, 2017

roughly 7-8% from the S&P’s 2016 year-end level of 2238. Our preliminary year-end 2018 fair value target range is 2500-2550 (18.0x estimated 2018 earnings of $140-145).

We expect above average capital markets volatility in 2017, driven primarily by uncertainty surrounding the ability of President Trump to achieve success on his core policy initiatives in the areas of tax reform, government regulation reduction, health care reform, and international trade policy. The strong stock market rally since the November 8 election (the S&P 500 is up 5%+ since the election) implies that investors are already discounting material success for the Trump Administration. To the extent that Trump is unable to make quick and meaningful progress against his stated goals, stocks could give back some or all of their recent gains. Conversely, if Trump is able to work with Congress to achieve meaningful tax rate reductions, a decrease in business regulation, and health care reform, equities could respond favorably as those factors could result in higher corporate profitability over the next few years.

Longer term, we believe equities are currently priced to return between 6-9% annually over the next 5 to 10 years, assuming long term earnings growth of 5-7% and a P/E of 15-18x (versus a long historic average P/E of 16x for the S&P 500).

We continue to favor equities that have strong business franchises and an ability to grow revenues, cash flows, earnings, dividends, and underlying business value at solid rates despite a continued sluggish and highly competitive global economic environment. We believe that companies that are able to achieve solid growth in business value should be able to generate total returns for their shareholders that are commensurate with business value growth.

Our Portfolio

The Fund’s portfolio continues to be comprised primarily of companies with strong balance sheets, high levels of profitability, and a demonstrated ability to grow business value over the long run despite periodically challenging economic conditions.

The following table summarizes the changes we made in the Fund in 2016:

Shareholder Letter

January 24, 2017

The companies that were the most additive to the Fund’s return in 2016 included Apple, Berkshire Hathaway, Capital One Chevron, Continental Resources, Eaton, iShares Mid Cap ETF, iShares Small Cap ETF, J.P. Morgan, Qualcomm, and Union Pacific.

The companies that were the largest drag on performance in 2016 included Allergan, Celgene, Disney, Express Scripts, Gilead Sciences, Perrigo, and Starbucks.

Interestingly, many of the Fund’s worst performers in 2015 were among the Fund’s best performers in 2016, and vice versa.

In 2016, “value” outperformed “growth,” and smaller companies generally outperformed larger companies. And, many of the commodity-related and economically-sensitive companies that performed poorly in 2015 enjoyed strong recoveries in 2016. Finally, health care stocks generally struggled in 2016 (extending a period of poor relative performance that dates to July, 2015). These factors all combined to contribute to the Fund’s equities lagging the S&P 500 in 2016, following a better year of relative performance in 2015.

That said, we believe the Fund’s holdings are both 1) well-positioned to grow their business value over the next several years, and 2) valued at levels that are attractive given our assessment of their business value growth potential.

We believe the Fund’s holdings are attractively valued looking out over the next several years. At present, the Fund’s portfolio trades at 24.9x estimated 2017 earnings and 25.0x estimated 2018 earnings, and have projected long term annual earnings growth of 12-13%. This compares with the 17.0x 2017 P/E, 15.4x 2018 P/E, and 5-7% long term annual earnings growth projected for the S&P 500.

We believe that the Fund’s companies are well-positioned to grow shareholder value at attractive rates in the future. Our companies have strong balance sheets and business models that we believe should allow them to grow revenues, earnings, and free cash flow at attractive rates over the long run.

The Fund’s investment process continues to emphasize the following core tenets:

	1.	A focus on high quality companies with good prospects for growing their business value over time

	2.	A strong valuation discipline

	3.	A long term approach to equity investing

Our investment management approach is based on the premise that over the long run, good businesses produce good investment returns for their shareholders. We seek to identify and own undervalued businesses that are growing business value for their shareholders at attractive rates.

Over time, we expect to benefit from our investment approach in two ways: 1) as our companies move from undervalued toward our estimate of fair value, and 2) from the growth in our companies’ underlying business value over time.

We remain confident that our investment approach should be effective over the long run, as stock prices tend to track underlying changes in business value over time.

Shareholder Letter

January 24, 2017

	Sincerely,

BRIDGES INVESTMENT FUND, INC.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

DECEMBER 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Bridges Investment Fund, Inc., you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; services fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held the entire period (July 1, 2016 – December 31, 2016).

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Fund charges no sales load or transactions fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers (including redemption requests), returned checks or stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent. To the extent that the Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which a Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example below. The example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, shareholder servicing fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses, interest expense or dividends on short positions taken by the Fund and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. 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 entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this 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 ratios 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 the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

			Expenses Paid
	Beginning	Ending	During Period*
	Account Value	Account Value	July 1, 2016 –
	July 1, 2016	December 31, 2016	December 31, 2016
Actual	$1,000	$1,099.80	$4.25
Hypothetical
(5% annualized return
before expenses)	$1,000	$1,021.09	$4.09

*	Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.81%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 to reflect the one-half year period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2016

(1)	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	Bridges Investment Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The primary investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation. In pursuit of that objective, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

	A.	Investments –

		Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium on fixed income securities is accreted or amortized into interest income using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

		The net realized gain (loss) from the sales of securities is determined for income tax and accounting purposes on the basis of the cost of specific securities.

		Securities owned are reflected in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Schedule of Investments at fair value based on quoted market prices. Bonds and other fixed-income securities (other than repurchase agreements and demand notes) are valued using the bid price provided by an independent pricing service. Other securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of regular trading on each day the exchange is open for trading. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If no sales were reported on that day, quoted market price represents the closing bid price.

		Investments in registered open-end management investment companies will be valued based upon the Net Asset Values (“NAVs”) of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

		Securities for which prices are not readily available are valued by the Fund’s valuation committee (the “Valuation Committee”) at a fair value determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors.

		The Valuation Committee concludes that a price determined under the Fund’s valuation procedures is not readily available if, among other things, the Valuation

		Committee believes that the value of the security might be materially affected by an intervening significant event. A significant event may be related to a single issuer, to an entire market sector, or to the entire market. These events may include, among other things: issuer–specific events including rating agency action, earnings announcements and corporate actions, significant fluctuations in domestic or foreign markets, natural disasters, armed conflicts, and government actions. In the event that the market quotations are not readily available, the fair value of such securities will be determined in good faith, taking into consideration: (i) fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; (ii) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities; and (iii) an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. The members of the Valuation Committee shall continuously monitor for significant events that might necessitate the use of fair value procedures.

	B.	Federal Income Taxes –

		It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to Regulated Investment Companies (“RICs”) to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision for the Fund is required. Under applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends, and capital gains earned on foreign securities.

		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. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains or losses were recorded by the Fund. The Fund has reclassified the components of its capital accounts for the year ended December 31, 2016, by increasing accumulated undistributed net investment income by $622 and decreasing capital stock by $622.

		The Fund has not recorded any liability for material unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2016. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain benefits in income tax expense as appropriate.

	C.	Distribution To Shareholders –

		The Fund records and pays dividends to shareholders on a quarterly basis on the ex-dividend date. Distribution of net realized gains, if any, are recorded and made on an annual basis to shareholders on the ex-dividend date.

	D.	Equalization –

		The Fund uses the accounting practice of equalization by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of redemption of capital shares, equivalent on a per share basis to the amount of undistributed net investment income on the date of the transactions, is credited or charged to undistributed income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per share is unaffected by sales or redemption of capital shares.

	E.	Use of Estimates –

		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net

		assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

		In preparing these financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

	F.	Fair Value Measurements –

		GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data “inputs” and minimize the use of unobservable “inputs” and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

			Level 1 –	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

			Level 2 –	Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

			Level 3 –	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value for the year ended December 31, 2016 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. During the year ended December 31, 2016, no securities held by the Fund were deemed as Level 3.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2016, in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Investments
Common Stock	$	108,694,354	$	—	$	—	$	108,694,354
Exchange Traded Funds		11,426,800		—		—		11,426,800
Corporate Bonds		—		745,262		—		745,262
Short-Term Investments		2,136,035		—		—		2,136,035
Total Investments
in Securities	$	122,257,189	$	745,262	$	—	$	123,002,451

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended December 31, 2016. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. Refer to the Schedule of Investments for further information on the classification of investments.

(2)	INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT AND
	OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

	Under an Investment Advisory Contract, Bridges Investment Management, Inc. (the “Investment Adviser”) furnishes investment advisory services for the Fund. In return, the Fund has agreed to pay the Investment Adviser a management fee computed on a quarterly basis at the rate of 1/8 of 1% of the average month-end net asset value of the Fund during the quarter, equivalent to 1/2 of 1% per annum. Certain officers and directors of the Fund are also officers and directors of the Investment Adviser. These officers do not receive any compensation from the Fund other than that which is received indirectly through the Investment Adviser. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund incurred $580,324 in advisory fees.

	The contract between the Fund and the Investment Adviser provides that total expenses of the Fund in any year, exclusive of taxes, but including fees paid to the Investment Adviser, shall not exceed, in total, a maximum of 1 and 1/2% of the average month end net asset value of the Fund for the year. Amounts, if any, expended in excess of this limitation are reimbursed by the Investment Adviser as specifically identified in the Investment Advisory Contract. There were no amounts reimbursed during the year ended December 31, 2016.

	The Fund has entered into a Board-approved contract with the Investment Adviser in which the Investment Adviser acts as primary administrator to the Fund at an annual rate of $42,000 and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC acts as sub-administrator to the Fund. These administrative expenses are shown as Administration fees on the Statement of Operations.

	Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), a registered broker-dealer, acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC.

Investment Advisory Agreement Disclosure (Unaudited)

The Fund’s investment advisory agreement with Bridges Investment Management, Inc. (“BIM”) was approved by the independent members of the Board of Directors on November 15, 2016.

In approving the continuance of the investment advisory agreement, 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 by the investment manager. In addition, the independent Directors reviewed the expertise, personnel, and the 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 December 31, 2015) total assets of $6,365,652, no long-term debt, and total shareholders’ equity of $5,822,332. with a current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) of 11.4x and an equity to total assets ratio of 91.46%.

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 74th percentile over a trailing 12-month period, 63rd over a 3-year period, 73rd over a 5-year period, and 81st over a 10-year period. (as of October 31, 2016)

The Fund Directors reviewed the asset allocation of the Fund, including the percentage of Fund assets invested in stocks (95.56% as of October 31, 2016) and bonds (0.46% as of October 31, 2016). They also reviewed a number of current ratios for the Fund’s portfolio, including the current price/earnings ratio of Fund stocks (19.7x as of October 31, 2016) price/cash ratio (13.6x) and price/book ratio (3.1x), as well as the Fund’s turnover ratio, which at 13% for the trailing twelve months, was still well below the average turnover ratio average of 63% for a comparison group of large cap growth funds. The Directors also reviewed the Fund’s expense ratio, which was 0.82% for the period ending September 30, 2016, compared to an average of 1.41% for a peer group of 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.

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 33 years of 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.

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 May, 2016, an annual disclosure for 2015 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.

However, the interpretative discussion that precedes and follows in this section of the Annual Shareholder Report for 2016 is an integral part of the overall presentation concerning investment performance.

The assumptions for the preparation of data to compute performance for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, and for Bridges Investment Fund, Inc., along with other items of information and analysis, appear on pages MD&A-10.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index was chosen as the appropriate broad-based market index for comparison with our Fund for the purpose of benchmarking the results of a 100% common stock investment as an alternative to an investment in our Fund. Common stocks have ranged between 87.3% to 98.3% of total market value in the Fund’s portfolio over the last decade. This observation means that our Fund’s investment record in the typical year is unlikely to match, exactly, results of a securities investment in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index because the same degree of risk/reward has not been assumed by the Fund. Nevertheless, the S&P 500 has the best data for tracking the general price trends for large capitalization, widely owned stocks, a representative list of which is held by our Fund.

BRIDGES INVESTMENT FUND, INC. AND THE STANDARD AND

POORS 500 INDEX AND THE RUSSELL 1000 GROWTH INDEX

INFORMATION SUPPORTING AND SETTING

QUALIFICATIONS FOR INVESTMENT RETURNS

Assumptions

	1.	The initial investment was made at the public offering price last calculated on the business day before the first day of the first fiscal year.

	2.	The subsequent account values are based on the net asset values of the Fund last calculated on the last business day of the first and each subsequent fiscal year.

	3.	The calculation for the final account value assumes the account was closed and the redemption was at the price last calculated on the last business day of the most recent fiscal year.

	4.	All dividends and capital gains distributions by the Fund were reinvested at the price on the reinvestment dates. The dividend for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index for the previous quarter was invested at the month-end price closest to the reinvestment date for the Fund. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is a total return index that reinvests dividends continuously as they are paid.

MD&A-9

Appropriate Index

The Fund is to select an “appropriate broad-based securities market index” that is administered by an organization that is not an affiliated person of the Fund or its investment adviser. The securities index chosen must be adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index, but not the expenses of the Fund.

Use of Additional Indexes

In addition to the required comparison to a broadly-based index, mutual fund registrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission are encouraged to compare their performances to other more narrowly-based indexes that reflect the market sectors in which they invest. Management chose the Russell 1000 Growth Index as an additional index for comparison because the Fund’s Investment Manager invests primarily in large capitalization companies that have or are expected to have higher-than-average growth rates in revenues and earnings.

Item 22(d)(3)

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the First and Third Quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q, which is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or can be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.) These reports can also be obtained from the Fund by sending an e-mail to fund@bridgesinv.com or calling 1-800-939-8401.

Item 22(d)(4) & (5)

A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities, and a report on how the Fund voted such proxies during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2016 can be obtained at the Fund’s website at www.bridgesfund.com or by calling 1-800-939-8401, or from the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
