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, that the Funds operating expenses remain the same and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions. The example
reflects contractual fee waivers and reimbursements for the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, 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 Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 90% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S.-traded equity securities of small-capitalization companies. U.S.-traded equity
securities may include American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). Silvant Capital Management LLC (Silvant or the Subadviser) considers small-capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations similar
to those of companies in the Russell 2000® Growth Index. As of July 1, 2014, the market capitalization range of
companies in the Russell 2000® Growth Index was between approximately $13.47 million and $4.6 billion.
In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser chooses companies that it believes have above-average
growth potential to beat expectations as a result of strong business fundamentals, such as revenue growth, improving cash flows, increasing margins and positive earning trends. The Subadviser applies proprietary quantitative models to rank stocks
based on improving fundamentals, valuation, capital deployment and efficiency, and sentiment or behavior factors. It then performs in-depth fundamental analysis to determine the quality and sustainability of expectations to determine whether or not
the company is poised to beat expectations. The Subadviser uses a bottom-up process based on company fundamentals. Risk controls are in place to assist in maintaining a portfolio that is diversified by sector and minimizes unintended
risks relative to the primary benchmark.
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.
ADR Risk: Investments in ADRs involve risks similar to those accompanying direct investments in foreign securities. These include the risk that political and
economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers.
Equity Securities Risk: The price of equity securities
fluctuates from time to time based on changes in a companys financial condition or overall market and economic conditions. As a result, the value of the Funds equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day.
Growth Stock Risk: Growth stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and
other types of stocks. Growth stocks typically are sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations will not be met, the prices of growth stocks typically
fall.
Small-Capitalization Companies Risk: Small-capitalization stocks tend to perform differently from other segments of the equity market or
the equity market as a whole, and can be more volatile than stocks of mid- or large-capitalization companies. Small-capitalization companies may be newer or less established, and may have limited resources, products and markets, and may be less
liquid.

Performance
The bar chart and the performance table that follow illustrate the risks and volatility of an investment in the Fund. The Funds past performance (before and
after taxes) does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. As of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Fund had not issued IS Shares. Performance information for IS shares will be included after the share class has been in
operation for one complete calendar year. Updated performance information is available by contacting the RidgeWorth Funds at 1-888-784-3863 or by visiting
www.ridgeworth.com.
The annual returns in the bar chart which follows are for the I Shares without reflecting payment of any sales charge; if they did
reflect such payment of sales charges, annual returns would be lower.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual U.S. federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect
the impact of state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-advantaged
arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs). After-tax returns are shown for only the I Shares. After-tax returns for other share classes will vary.

Tax Information
The Funds distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains unless you are investing through
a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA, which may be taxed upon withdrawal.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or investment adviser, the Fund, the Adviser or the Distributor may pay
the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment.
Ask your financial intermediary or visit your financial intermediarys website for more information.
