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 $709 $995 $1,301 $2,168
C Shares $278 $551 $ 949 $2,062
I Shares $112 $350 $ 606 $1,340
IS Shares $ 77 $240 $ 417 $ 930
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
  1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
A Shares $709 $995 $1,301 $2,168
C Shares $178 $551 $ 949 $2,062
I Shares $112 $350 $ 606 $1,340
IS Shares $ 77 $240 $ 417 $ 930
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 94% 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 mid-capitalization companies. U.S.-traded equity securities may include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Ceredex Value Advisors LLC (“Ceredex” or the “Subadviser”) considers mid-capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the Russell Midcap® Index. As of July 1, 2015, the market capitalization range of companies in the Russell Midcap® Index was between approximately $399 million and $27.8 billion. As a result of its investment strategy, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be 100% or more.
In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser chooses companies that it believes are undervalued in the market relative to the industry sector and the company’s own valuation history. The Subadviser evaluates potential catalysts that may cause an upward re-rating of the stock’s valuation. Additionally, the common stocks purchased for the Fund generally pay dividends at the time of purchase or are expected to pay dividends soon after their purchase.
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.
Frequent Trading Risk: Frequent buying and selling of investments may involve higher trading costs and other expenses and may affect the Fund's performance over time. High rates of portfolio turnover may result in the realization of short-term capital gains and losses. The payment of taxes on these gains could adversely affect your after tax return on your investment in the Fund. Any distributions resulting from such gains or losses may be considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Mid-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 large-capitalization companies. Mid-capitalization companies may be newer or less established, and may have limited resources, products and markets, and may be less liquid.
Value Investing Risk: “Value” investing attempts to identify strong companies whose stocks are selling at a discount from their perceived true worth. It is subject to the risk that the stocks’ intrinsic values may never be fully recognized or realized by the market, their prices may go down, or that stocks judged to be undervalued by the Fund may actually be appropriately priced.
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. IS Shares commenced operations on August 1, 2014. 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.

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.
