Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and you reinvest all dividends and distributions. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
A Shares	$	573	$	782	$	1,008	$	1,657
R Shares	$	144	$	447	$	773	$	1,697
I Shares	$	73	$	227	$	396	$	886

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 269% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of higher yielding, lower-rated income producing debt instruments, including corporate obligations, floating rate loans and other debt obligations. The Fund may invest in debt obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including emerging market debt. The Fund’s investment in non-U.S. issuers may at times be significant. The Fund will invest at least 65%, and may invest up to 100%, of its assets in securities rated below investment grade by either Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or in unrated securities that the Fund’s Subadviser, Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix” or the “Subadviser”), believes are of comparable quality. Such securities are commonly known as “junk bonds” and offer greater risks than investment grade debt securities. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities that are restricted as to resale.

In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser employs a research driven process designed to identify value areas within the high yield market. The Subadviser seeks to identify securities which generally seek to meet the following criteria: (i) industries that have sound fundamentals; (ii) companies that have good business prospects and increasing credit strength; and (iii) issuers with stable or growing cash flows and effective management.

In addition, to implement its investment strategy, the Fund may buy or sell derivative instruments (such as swaps, including credit default swaps, futures, credit linked notes, options, inverse floaters and warrants) to use as a substitute for a purchase or sale of a position in the underlying assets and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or credit risks. The Fund may count the value of certain derivatives with below investment grade fixed income characteristics towards its policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its net assets in non-investment grade fixed income securities.

Principal Investment Risks

You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities.

Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Securities that are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”), including those bonds rated lower than “BBB-” by Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, Inc. or “Baa3” by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc.), or that are unrated but judged by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality, at the time of purchase, involve greater risk of default and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Below investment grade securities may also be less liquid than higher quality securities, and may cause income and principal losses for the Fund.

Floating Rate Loan Risk: The value of the collateral securing a floating rate loan can decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. As a result, a floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Floating rate loans generally are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of floating rate loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual floating rate loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult; and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can also be more difficult and delayed. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss.

Prepayment and Call Risk: During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund may “call” or prepay the bond before its stated maturity date. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decline in the Fund’s income.

Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities involve special risks such as currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments and delays in enforcement of rights. These risks are increased for investments in emerging markets.

Derivatives Risk: In the course of pursuing its investment strategies, the Fund may invest in certain types of derivatives including swaps, foreign currency forward contracts and futures. The Fund is exposed to additional volatility and potential loss with these investments. Losses in these investments may exceed the Fund’s initial investment. Derivatives may be difficult to value, may become illiquid and may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities market.

Futures Contract Risk: The risks associated with futures include: the Subadviser’s ability to manage these instruments, the potential inability to terminate or sell

Summary Prospectus 2 August 1, 2011

a position, the lack of a liquid secondary market for the Fund’s position and the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not meet its obligations.

Swap Risk: The Fund may enter into swap agreements, including credit default and interest rate swaps, for purposes of attempting to gain exposure to a particular asset without actually purchasing that asset or to hedge a position. Credit default swaps may increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to credit risk and could result in losses if the Subadviser does not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the entity on which the credit default swap is based. Swap agreements may also subject the Fund to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not meet its obligations.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Risk: The technique of purchasing foreign currency forward contracts to obtain exposure to currencies or manage currency risk may not be effective. In addition, currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

Leverage Risk: Certain transactions and the use of derivatives such as foreign currency forward contracts, swaps and futures may create leveraging risk. Leverage may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

U.S. Government Issuers Risk: U.S. Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit, but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole.

Performance

The bar chart and the performance table that follow illustrate the risks and volatility of an investment in the Fund. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. The Fund began operating on March 28, 2000. Performance prior to March 28, 2000 is that of the ESC Strategic Income Fund, the Fund’s predecessor. At the close of business on July 31, 2009, all outstanding C Shares converted to R Shares. The performance shown below from March 28, 2000 through July 31, 2009 is that of C Shares and has not been adjusted to reflect R Shares expenses, which are lower. If it had been, performance would have been higher. Updated performance information is available by contacting the RidgeWorth Funds at 1-888-784-3863 or by visiting www.ridgeworth.com.
