Supplement dated February 11, 2009 to the
 
RidgeWorth Funds Prospectus
 
Dated August 1, 2008 for the
 
RidgeWorth High Grade Municipal Bond Fund
 
The recent credit market conditions have resulted in a limited supply of insured municipal bonds and, as a result, the Fund’s subadviser is concerned about its ability to comply with the Fund’s policy of investing 65% of the Fund’s assets in such securities. On February 11, 2009, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved a change to the Fund’s policy permitting it to invest in protected securities, as well as insured securities, in order to satisfy the 65% requirement. Accordingly, effective February 11, 2009, the following replaces the Investment Focus under the Fund Summary on page 53 of the prospectus (all other information remains unchanged):
 
     
Investment Focus
  Insured or protected investment grade
municipal securities
 
The following replaces the third paragraph on page 53 of the prospectus (all other information remains unchanged):
 
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its assets in municipal securities insured or protected as to timely payment of principal and interest. The Subadviser considers insured or protected bonds to be those bonds covered by a municipal bond insurance company, a recognized state credit enhancement program, the Treasury Guarantee Program, or in a pre-refunded position. These situations reduce (but do not eliminate) credit risk.
 
 
PLEASE RETAIN THIS SUPPLEMENT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
