| Investment Objective | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Aggressive Growth Allocation Strategy (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of capital appreciation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fees and Expenses of the Fund | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in RidgeWorth Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in Sales Charges on page 29 of the Fund’s prospectus and Rights of Accumulation on page 89 of the Fund’s statement of additional information. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 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 and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. 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: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 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 43% of the average value of its portfolio. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Principal Investment Strategies | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Fund invests pursuant to an asset allocation strategy in a combination of RidgeWorth Equity Funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that invest in equities (together, "Underlying Equity Funds"), and, to a lesser extent, RidgeWorth Fixed Income Funds and ETFs that invest in bonds (together, "Underlying Fixed Income Funds"). The Fund invests between 70% and 90% of its assets in Underlying Equity Funds and between 10% and 30% of its assets in Underlying Fixed Income Funds (together, "Underlying Funds"). The Fund's remaining assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including unaffiliated money market funds, securities issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, repurchase agreements and short-term paper. The Fund may invest in Underlying Funds that:
In selecting a diversified portfolio of Underlying Funds, the Adviser analyzes many factors, including the Underlying Funds’ investment objectives, total return, volatility and expenses. The table that follows shows how the Adviser currently expects to allocate the Fund’s portfolio among asset classes. The table also shows the sectors within those asset classes to which the Fund may have exposure.

| 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. The value of an investment in the Fund is based primarily on the performance of the Underlying Funds and the allocation of the Fund's assets among them. The Adviser's asset allocation decisions may not anticipate market trends successfully. The risks of the Fund will directly correspond to the risks of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. These risks will vary depending upon how the assets are allocated among the Underlying Funds. Certain risks associated with investing in the Underlying Funds are described in this section. Asset Allocation Risk: Asset allocation risk is the risk that the Fund could lose money as a result of less than optimal or poor asset allocation decisions as to how its assets are allocated or re-allocated. Below Investment Grade Securities Risk: Securities that are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as "junk bonds", including those bonds rated lower than "BBB-" by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC and Fitch, Inc. or "Baa3" by Moody's Investors Service), or that are unrated but judged by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase, involve greater risk of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities and are considered speculative. These instruments have a higher degree of default risk and may be less liquid than higher-rated bonds. These instruments may be subject to a greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions of high yield investments generally, and less secondary market liquidity. This potential lack of liquidity may make it more difficult for the Fund to value these instruments accurately. Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal or interest or will default. Changes in an issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of an issuer's creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund's investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer's financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Debt securities are also subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter term securities. 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. Exchange-Traded Fund Risk: ETFs, like mutual funds, have expenses associated with their operation, including advisory fees. When a Fund invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing expenses associated with its own operations, the Fund bears its pro rata portion of the ETF's expenses. The impact of these additional expenses, if any, would be shown as part of "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table. Floating Rate Loan Risk: The value of the collateral securing a floating rate loan can decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. As a result, a floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value. Floating rate loans generally are subject to contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of floating rate loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual floating rate loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult, and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can also be more difficult and delayed. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss. In addition, floating rate loans generally are subject to extended settlement periods in excess of seven days, which may impair the Fund's ability to sell or realize the full value of its loans in the event of a need to liquidate such loans. The Fund participates in a line of credit facility to assist with cash flow management and liquidity. Floating rate loans may not be considered securities and, therefore, the Fund may not have the protections of the federal securities laws with respect to its holdings of such loans. Foreign Companies and Securities Risk: Foreign securities and dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers involve special risks such as economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information and unfavorable political or legal developments. Foreign securities also involve risks such as currency fluctuations and delays in enforcement of rights. All of these risks are increased for investments in emerging markets. 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-cap 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. Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are debt instruments that are secured by interests in pools of mortgage loans or other financial assets. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the assets underlying such securities, swings in interest rates, changes in default rates, or deteriorating economic conditions. During periods of declining asset values, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may become more volatile and/or illiquid. The risk of default is generally higher in the case of securities backed by loans made to borrowers with "sub-prime" credit metrics. If market interest rates increase substantially and the Fund's adjustable-rate securities are not able to reset to market interest rates during any one adjustment period, the value of the Fund's holdings and its net asset value may decline until the adjustable-rate securities are able to reset to market rates. In the event of a dramatic increase in interest rates, the lifetime limit on a security's interest rate may prevent the rate from adjusting to prevailing market rates. In such an event, the security could underperform and affect the Fund's net asset value. Prepayment and Call Risk: During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Fund or an Underlying Fund may "call" or prepay the bond before its stated maturity date. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund or an Underlying Fund may have to reinvest the proceeds in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decline in the Fund's income. Real Estate Investment Risk: The Fund or an Underlying ETF invests in companies that invest in real estate (e.g. real estate investment trusts) and is exposed to risks specific to the real estate market, including interest rate risk, leverage risk, property risk and management risk. Restricted Securities Risk: Certain debt securities may be restricted securities, which are not registered with the SEC and thus may not be sold publicly until registration has been made. Therefore, there is the absence of a public market and there is limited investor information. Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Small- and 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. Small- and mid-capitalization companies may be newer or less established, and may have limited resources, products and markets, and may be less liquid. U.S. Government Securities Risk: U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, while other types of securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies, instrumentalities, and U.S. government-sponsored entities may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income market or the fixed income market as a whole. 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 or an Underlying 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. 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. The following table compares the Fund's average annual total returns for the periods indicated with those of a broad measure of market performance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. In some cases, average annual return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares is higher than the average annual return after taxes on distributions because of realized losses that would have been sustained upon the sale of fund shares immediately after the relevant periods. The calculations assume that an investor holds the shares in a taxable account, is in the actual historical highest individual federal marginal income tax bracket for each year and would have been able to immediately utilize the full realized loss to reduce his or her federal tax liability. However, actual individual tax results may vary and investors should consult their tax advisers regarding their personal tax situations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
