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 Fund’s 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:

 

      1 Year      3 Years      5 Years      10 Years  

A Shares

   $ 689       $ 931       $ 1,192       $ 1,935   

C Shares

   $ 290       $ 588       $ 1,011       $ 2,190   

I Shares

   $ 99       $ 335       $ 589       $ 1,318   
IS Shares    $ 87       $ 276       $ 480       $ 1,071   

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

 

      1 Year      3 Years      5 Years      10 Years  

A Shares

   $ 689       $ 931       $ 1,192       $ 1,935   

C Shares

   $ 190       $ 588       $ 1,011       $ 2,190   

I Shares

   $ 99       $ 335       $ 589       $ 1,318   
IS Shares    $ 87       $ 276       $ 480       $ 1,071   

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 Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 21% 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 common stocks and other U.S.-traded equity securities of large-capitalization companies. U.S.-traded equity securities may include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Silvant Capital Management LLC (“Silvant” or the “Subadviser”) considers large-capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the Russell 1000® Growth Index. As of July 1, 2014, the market capitalization range of companies in the Russell 1000® Growth Index was between approximately $1.2 billion and $564.1 billion. The Subadviser will seek out securities it believes have

strong business fundamentals, such as revenue growth, improving cash flows, increasing margins and positive earning trends.

In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser chooses companies that it believes have above-average growth potential to beat expectations. 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 company’s financial condition or overall market and economic conditions. As a result, the value of the Fund’s 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.

Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Large-capitalization stocks can perform differently from other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Large-capitalization companies may be less flexible in evolving markets or unable to implement change as quickly as small-capitalization companies.

Sector Weightings Risk: Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments may affect all the securities in a single sector. If the Fund invests in a few sectors it may have

increased exposure to the price movements of those sectors.

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. 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.

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 intermediary’s website for more information.
