Dear Valued Shareholder:

We are pleased to share some news with you regarding a recent change that impacts the RidgeWorth International Equity Fund (the “Fund”).

On August 26, 2015, the RidgeWorth Funds’ Board of Trustees approved WCM Investment Management (“WCM”) to replace Certium Asset Management LLC (“Certium”) as subadviser to the Fund. WCM took over the management of the Fund from Certium on September 1, 2015. RidgeWorth Capital Management LLC (“RidgeWorth”) continues to serve as the Fund’s investment adviser.

As a result of the subadviser change, the Fund’s investment advisory fee was reduced. In addition, certain changes were made to the Fund’s principal investment strategies, risks, benchmark index, and portfolio managers. Additional information on these changes is located in the Fund’s prospectus, which is available on www.ridgeworth.com.

INFORMATION STATEMENT

October 22, 2015

This is for your information only. It is not a proxy statement and you are not being asked to vote. We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy.

This Information Statement is provided in lieu of a proxy statement to the shareholders of the RidgeWorth International Equity Fund (the “Fund”), a series of RidgeWorth Funds (the “Trust”), pursuant to the terms of an exemptive order issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The order permits RidgeWorth Capital Management LLC (“RidgeWorth” or the “Adviser”), subject to certain conditions such as approval by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”), to retain, without the approval of shareholders, an unaffiliated subadviser that the Adviser believes is best suited to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. The Information Statement provides information regarding the new subadviser for the Fund and the terms of the new investment subadvisory agreement.

Appointment of WCM Investment Management as Subadviser to the Fund

At a meeting held on August 26–27, 2015, the Board, including its members who are not interested persons of the Fund (the “Independent Trustees”) within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), approved a new investment subadvisory agreement between RidgeWorth and WCM Investment Management (“WCM” or the “Subadviser”) with respect to the Fund (the “Agreement”). WCM took over day-to-day management of the Fund on September 1, 2015. Prior to September 1, 2015, Certium Asset Management LLC (“Certium”) served as subadviser to the Fund. In connection with the change in subadviser, and as reflected in the Prospectus, Summary Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information dated September 1, 2015, certain changes were made to the Fund’s principal investment strategies and risks, benchmark index and portfolio managers. In addition, the Fund’s aggregate advisory fee was reduced.

Information Regarding the Adviser

RidgeWorth, located at 3333 Piedmont Road, NE, Suite 1500, Atlanta, Georgia 30305, has served as the investment adviser of the Fund since its inception. RidgeWorth oversees the Fund’s subadviser to ensure compliance with the Fund’s investment policies and guidelines and monitors the subadviser’s adherence to its investment style.

In connection with the change in subadvisers from Certium to WCM, the Adviser’s annual advisory fee was reduced to 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets effective September 1, 2015. Previously, the Adviser was entitled to an annual advisory fee of 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser’s fee is subject to the following breakpoint discounts:

First $500 million = none — no discount from full fee

Next $500 million = 5% discount from full fee

Next $4 billion = 10% discount from full fee

Over $5 billion = 15% discount from full fee

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Fund paid advisory fees, minus fee waivers, to the Adviser in the amount of $234,835. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Adviser waived advisory fees in the amount of $3,428. The Adviser is responsible for paying the Fund’s subadviser for its services to the Fund. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Adviser paid Certium $117,418.

Terms of the Agreement

The Agreement has an initial term of two years from the effective date (unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms). Thereafter, continuance of the Agreement shall be subject to the specific approval, at least annually, by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees, at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and by either an affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Fund or a vote of the majority of outstanding voting securities (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund.

The terms of the Agreement and those of the prior subadvisory agreement with Certium are substantially similar; however, under the Agreement, the subadvisory fee rates payable by the Adviser have changed. A description of the subadvisory fee rates appears below.

Under the terms of the Agreement, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board, WCM shall manage the securities and other assets of the Fund, including the purchase, retention and disposition of the assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions

The Agreement provides that it: (i) may be terminated with respect to the Fund upon written notice, at any time without the payment of any penalty, either by vote of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; (ii) may be terminated by the Adviser upon 60 days’ prior written notice to WCM, without the payment of any penalty; (iii) may be terminated by WCM upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the Adviser; and (iv) will terminate automatically and immediately in the event of its “assignment” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) or in the event of a termination of the Advisory Agreement with Trust.

The Agreement states that WCM shall be responsible only for rendering the services called for thereunder in good faith and shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for the Fund, provided that WCM is not protected against any liability to the Adviser or the Fund to which WCM would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.

As compensation for the subadvisory services performed by WCM, the Adviser shall pay WCM a subadvisory fee out of the advisory fee it receives from the Fund. Under the Agreement, WCM is entitled to the following annual subadvisory fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets:

0.51% of the first $500 million

0.50% over $500 million up to $1 billion

0.48% over $1 billion up to $5 billion

0.47% in excess of $5 billion

The Agreement provides that WCM will share pro rata in fee waivers and expense reimbursements subject to a minimum subadvisory fee of 0.50% on the first $500 million of assets and 0.45% thereafter.

Under the prior subadvisory agreement with Certium, the Adviser paid Certium an annual fee of 0.45% (i.e., fifty percent of the investment advisory fee received by the Adviser for its services to the Fund), except that for any compensation period during which the Adviser waived any portion of the management fee that the Fund was required to pay, the Adviser reduced the fee to be paid to Certium by a proportionate amount.

The following table compares the actual fees paid by the Adviser to Certium for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 to a hypothetical example of fees that would have been paid if the fee payable to WCM had been in effect for the period. The table also shows the difference between the actual and hypothetical values.

Actual Fees Paid to Certium from April 1, 2014 to March 31,  2015 under Certium Agreement	Hypothetical Fees Payable to WCM from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 under WCM Agreement	Percent Difference
$115,704	$139,187	20.30%

Since the Adviser pays the subadviser out of the advisory fee it receives from the Fund, there would have been no increase in the advisory fee paid by the Fund in connection with the appointment of WCM as subadviser to the Fund.

Evaluation by the Board

In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Board considered and discussed information and analysis provided by the Adviser and WCM. The Board considered all factors that it deemed to be relevant. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor that was paramount or controlling and individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to various factors. Certain factors considered by the Board are addressed in more detail below.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services proposed to be provided by WCM, the Board reviewed the services to be provided and the qualifications and backgrounds of the portfolio managers proposed to be responsible for managing the Fund. The Board also reviewed information set forth in WCM’s Form ADV, which provides information about the firm, its management, and its business activities and affiliations. The Board considered the professional experience and qualifications of WCM’s senior management and key professional personnel, including those individuals responsible for portfolio management. The Board also considered WCM’s operational capabilities and resources and its experience in managing investment portfolios. Based on its review, within the context of its full deliberations, the Board determined that it was satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by WCM.

Performance. In connection with the assessment of WCM’s ability to perform its duties under the Agreement, the Board considered the sufficiency of its resources and concluded that WCM had the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Agreement. The Board heard an overview of WCM’s investment philosophy, the proposed portfolio construction of the assets of the Fund, and the investment techniques to be employed. The Board also reviewed WCM’s investment performance with respect to the strategies proposed to be used in managing the Fund and the investment performance of WCM with respect to its other accounts, including mutual funds and other pooled investment vehicles.

Cost of Services. The Board considered the cost of the services to be provided by WCM and reviewed the fee to be paid pursuant to the Agreement. In addition, the Board discussed the fee arrangement between the Adviser and WCM, noting that the Adviser would pay WCM out of the advisory fee it receives from the Fund. The Board also reviewed information regarding advisory fees of comparable funds and evaluated the proposed fee arrangement in light of this information and the factors that judicial decisions have specified as pertinent generally. The Board also considered the Adviser’s and WCM’s contractual arrangement with the Fund to waive a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses in an effort to control the expense ratios of the Fund, if necessary. Based on its review, within the context of its full deliberations, the Board determined that the fee proposed to be paid to WCM was fair and reasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the potential for economies of scale and noted that both the Adviser’s and WCM’s fees include breakpoints.

Conclusion. Based on its deliberations and evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously: (i) concluded that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable; (ii) concluded that the fee for WCM is fair and reasonable in light of the services that it will provide to the Fund; and (iii) agreed to approve the Agreement for an initial term of two years.
