BRIDGES INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Bridges Investment Management Inc. is a full-service investment management firm located in Omaha, Nebraska. Bridges Investment Management Inc. traces its roots to 1945 when Marvin W.

(Ted) Bridges III. The firm’s clients include high net worth individuals, corporate retirement plans and charitable organizations. It employs a growth-oriented investment style, which seeks to invest capital in companies that achieve above-average returns on equity and earnings per share growth versus the S&P 500.

The Firm’s growth-oriented equity investment philosophy is predicated on the principle that over the long term, strong company financial performance in the form of rising cash flow and earnings drives increasing equity valuations.

Cash Flow measures the cash-generating capability of a company by adding non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation) and interest expense to pretax income.

Earnings per Share (EPS) is calculated by taking the total earnings divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Return on Equity (ROE) is a measure of a corporation’s profitability. It represents the average return on equity on the securities in the portfolio, not the actual return on equity on the portfolio.

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 long-term debt securities. The Bridges Investment Fund® invests in foreign securities, which involves greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods.
