LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST December 31, 2007

Dear Valued STI Classic Variable Trust Shareholder,

The fourth quarter was challenging for the markets, as fear replaced greed as the primary motivating force for investors. Economic momentum slowed, stocks fell, and bonds gained amid concern over the health of the economy and corporate profits

Economic momentum continued to fade as housing and subprime mortgage market weakness seemed to spread more broadly. Consumer spending showed signs of softening despite an early and extended holiday shopping season. Energy prices marched to record levels sapping disposable income and nudging core inflation higher. Job growth remained positive but slowed as did overall manufacturing activity. The major area of ongoing strength was in global growth and U.S. exports.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) grappled with the conflicting pressures of weakening growth, credit market strains and rising inflation pressures. Ultimately the risks to growth outweighed the threat of higher inflation, and the Fed lowered the overnight fed funds rate to 4.25% from the 5.25% peak during the summer. The Fed also created the Term Auction Facility in coordination with other central banks to provide liquidity to banks holding illiquid mortgage and credit related securities.

Fading momentum in the economy and in corporate earnings growth as well as the mounting concern over credit quality and potential write-offs pushed equity markets lower in the final quarter. One of the broad based market indicators, the Russell 3000^® Index, lost 3.34% but finished the year with a 5.14% gain. The MSCI EAFE international index fell a more modest 1.75% for the quarter and rose 11.17% for the close of 2007. More defensive sectors like Energy, Utilities, Heath Care and Consumer Staples outperformed, while Consumer Discretionary and Financials trailed. Large-Caps and the Growth style outperformed Small-Caps and the Value style in domestic markets as risk aversion became a major concern. Large-Caps also outperformed Small-Caps in International markets, while continued strength in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) lifted Emerging Market stocks.

Investment-grade bond indexes improved during the quarter led by a flight to high quality Treasury bonds. The Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index rose 3.00% for the quarter and 6.97% for the year. The yield on the 10-Year Treasury note fell to 4.03% and the yield curve steepened. Credit spreads widened and High Yield markets fell. In the alternative investment arena, commodities rose in the fourth quarter, as did most hedge fund strategies, but REITs fell sharply.

Looking ahead, we see the challenges continuing into the first half of 2008. We are likely to experience recession-like economic conditions early in the year whether or not Real Gross Domestic Product¹ growth is slightly positive or slightly negative. Housing weakness will remain a key focus especially as it relates to the health of the consumer. Credit market strains will also remain an issue until questionable asset valuations are more appropriately priced. We expect corporate earnings estimates for 2008 will be revised lower, therefore equity market turbulence could continue over the near term. We believe that the softer economy will help lower core inflation pressures, and we project a cyclical decline in energy costs. At the start of the New Year, we anticipate further weakness in the dollar, however, we will be watchful for signs of strength as the economy stabilizes.

1

Despite these near-term concerns, it is important to remember there are some very positive fundamental factors and developments in place that could help limit the duration and severity of any market correction. To begin with, equity valuations are quite reasonable both in absolute terms and relative to bond yields. Inflation and bond yields are also at the low end of their historical ranges, which suggests a positive climate for long-term growth. Finally, the Fed has begun to lower interest rates after much public waffling and the yield curve is becoming steeper. Both of these developments are positive for the stock market.

The economy and financial markets came under pressure in the fourth quarter, and the strains could continue into the first half of 2008. However, we believe any correction will be limited in depth and duration.

Sincerely,
David H. Eidson	Ashi S. Parikh

LARGE CAP CORE EQUITY FUND (formerly Large Cap Relative Value Fund)

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST December 31, 2007

Management Discussion of Fund Performance

Q:	How did the Fund perform against its benchmark for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	The Fund had a strong first half of the year, but underperformed the S&P 500 Index by a fairly significant margin in the second half. For the fourth quarter of 2007, the Fund returned -5.78% versus -3.33% for the benchmark and 0.79% versus 5.49% for the 12-month period, respectively.
Q:	What factors influenced the Fund’s performance for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	During the first quarter, the Fund’s returns were in line with the benchmark, with negative contributions from stock selection in Health Care and Materials nearly offset by positive contributions from stock selection across the other sectors. However, the tide turned at the close of the second quarter, with stock selection leading the way to significant outperformance of the benchmark. Half of the contribution came from four proposed takeover transactions, including First Data, SLM Corp, Alltel and Huntsman Chemical.*
	The tide, which flowed nicely for the Fund during the first and second quarter, pulled out just as quickly in the third and fourth quarters. Stock selection, typically the primary contributor to Fund performance was a significant detractor during the third quarter. The slowdown in the housing market and the credit crunch had a significant impact on several of our holdings. The fourth quarter wasn’t much better, as the Fund continued to underperform. Our move away from pro-cyclicals and toward more emphasis on growth at a reasonable price (“GARP”) has been early, as GARP strategies have underperformed. Performance was also hampered by a lack of participation in high momentum issues.* We certainly are not satisfied with the Fund’s performance in the second half of the year, but we believe the positioning moves we have made will lead to outperformance over the longer term.
Q:	How do you plan to position the Fund, based on market conditions?
A:	Heading into 2008, we continue to deemphasize Financial Services, Consumer Discretionary, and economically sensitive issues, but remain interested in select bargain hunting in these areas. Our largest overweighting remains in the Technology area which continues to offer an attractive mix of growth potential and reasonable valuation levels. In fact, we expect our stock selection across the entire portfolio to focus on attractive growth potential at prices that still make sense for long-term commitments.*
	The cornerstone of our approach is to invest beyond the vagaries and unpredictable short-term swings of the marketplace, and to focus on opportunities that over the longer term have produced acceptable return for the risk taken. In times of market transition, our strategy can experience periods of underperformance. We believe that the actions taken within the Fund have positioned it to capture the increasing appeal of growth at a reasonable price, and expect that strategy to be more rewarding in 2008 than it proved to be in the second half of 2007.

Growth of $10,000 Investment (as of December 31, 2007)

This chart assumes an initial hypothetical investment of $10,000 made on 12/30/99. Total return is based on net change in N.A.V. (net asset value) assuming reinvestment of distributions. Returns shown on this page include reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions.

The Fund’s primary benchmark changed form the Russell 1000^® Value Index to the S&P 500 Index to better reflect the Fund’s investment style. The Russell^® Value Index is the Fund’s secondary index. The Fund is measured against the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 1000^® Value Index. The S&P 500 Index consists of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. stock market as a whole. The Russell 1000^® Value Index is comprised of the 1000 securities found in the Russell universe with a less-than-average growth orientation. Companies in this index generally have low price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios, higher dividend yields, and lower forecasted growth values. The performance of the indices is unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment adviser and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance

Q:	How did the Fund perform against its benchmark for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	The Fund performed quite well relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index in 2007, returning 2.70% versus the benchmark’s -0.77% for the fourth quarter and 15.28% versus the benchmark’s 11.81% for the 12-month period. The Fund also outperformed the market, for the 3- and 12-month periods, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, which returned -3.33% and 5.49%, respectively.
Q:	What factors influenced the Fund’s performance for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	The current team took over management of the Fund in March 2007. We were quickly able to implement a very structured process that seeks to minimize the impact of unintended exposures. To do this, we adjusted the portfolio so the sector weights within the Fund were closely aligned with the sector weights of the benchmark. We believe that there are plenty of growth opportunities within each sector, and do not want to be in a position where specific sector performance hinders Fund performance relative to the benchmark. This approach puts the burden on us to pick individual stocks that have the potential to outperform. In the latter half of 2007, we were able to do just that. After the second quarter, the Fund’s return of 5.12% trailed the Russell 1000® Growth Index return of 8.13%. As of the 12-month period ended December 31, 2007, the Fund outperformed the benchmark by more than 3.4%, as we mentioned. The vast majority of this outperformance was due to superior stock selection.
Q:	How do you plan to position the Fund, based on market conditions?
A:	The investment team continues to focus on stocks that best fit our investment criteria: those with positive fundamental trends leading to rising earnings and earnings quality, efficiently managed capital structures and reasonable valuations. The team attempts to derive the majority of outperformance through stock selection and minimize the potential impact of unintended style bias and macroeconomic risk. This bottom-up stock selection coupled with disciplined risk management is cornerstone to the investment process.

Value-based investments are subject to the risks that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value.

Management Discussion of Fund performance

Q:	How did the Fund perform against its benchmark for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	For the fourth quarter of 2007, the Fund performed well relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, with a total return of -5.65% versus the -5.80% return for the Fund’s index. For the 12-month period the Fund significantly outperformed the benchmark with a total return of 3.56% versus the benchmark return of -0.17%. In the general market, this was the first year that Value stocks underperformed Growth stocks since 1999.
Q:	What factors influenced the Fund’s performance for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	The Fund outperformed the benchmark in each quarter, with the most significant outperformance coming in the second quarter. During that quarter, approximately two-thirds of the outperformance was due to stock selection, specifically, superior stock selection in Utilities, Energy and Financials. Within Energy, the oil companies continued to thrive as Marathon Oil, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips were among the top contributors during the quarter.*
	The third quarter was also a very strong quarter, in which our sector weighting decisions played a key role in outperformance. Being significantly underweight in Financials and overweight in Industrials had positive contributions to overall Fund performance.*
Q:	How do you plan to position the Fund, based on market conditions?
A:	During the fourth quarter, the Fund increased its weighting in Consumer Discretionary stocks to an equal weight position as the recent sector weakness has provided numerous investment opportunities. We are also looking for opportunities in the Financials sector but are cautious as it continues to be difficult to discern what actual book values are. Following the recent run in oil prices and energy stocks, we reduced our holdings in the Energy sector to an underweight position. We are also looking to reduce our exposure to Industrials and Materials as our holdings continue inching toward their target prices.*
	The Fund will continue to focus on finding high quality companies with well-defined dividend policies trading at discounts to their historical valuations. As we reduce exposure to those sectors with recent strong performance, we will rotate toward those sectors which provide a more favorable risk/reward profile.*

MID-CAP CORE EQUITY FUND (formerly Mid-Cap Equity Fund)

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST December 31, 2007

Investment Concerns

Mid capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies generally have a higher risk or failure.

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Management Discussion of fund performance

Q:	How did the Fund perform against its benchmark for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	The Fund had relatively strong performance relative to the Russell Midcap® Index in the first and third quarters that was offset by underperformance in the second and fourth quarters. For the fourth quarter, the Fund and benchmark returned -3.97% and -3.55%, respectively. For the 12-month period, the Fund returned 5.18% versus 5.60% for the benchmark.
Q:	What factors influenced the Fund’s performance for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	As is usually the case, stock selection was the primary contributor to Fund returns in each quarter of the year. In the first and third quarter, stock selection had positive contributions. In the first quarter, Tesoro from the Energy sector and Sotheby’s from the Consumer Discretionary sector were the top individual contributors to the Fund’s relative performance. Refining stocks like Tesoro did well in the first quarter and Sotheby’s benefited from a robust art and collectibles sales market. Three merger announcements that related to stocks in the portfolio had a significant positive impact on Fund returns in the third quarter.*
	Stock selection was a drag on performance during the second and fourth quarters. In the second quarter, Consumer Discretionary and Technology were the main culprits. On the Consumer side, the Fund’s retail and apparel holdings struggled as concerns surrounding consumer spending took hold amid the twin headwinds of high gas prices and the growing fallout from mortgage markets. In the Technology area, earnings disappointments from two names dampened what was otherwise a reasonable showing in the sector. The fourth quarter had fairly significant negative contributions from Consumer Discretionary and Health Care that were partially offset by positive contributions from Industrials, Technology and Materials.*
Q:	How do you plan to position the Fund, based on market conditions?
A:	Our decisions to reduce exposure to Financial Services (mortgage- and credit-related names in particular) and Consumer Discretionary issues over the course of 2007 proved to be beneficial to portfolio results. Outside of select bargain hunting in these areas, we do not plan to make significant changes in our weightings in the near-term. Our largest overweighting remains in the Technology area and we believe that sector continues to offer an attractive mix of growth potential and reasonable valuation levels. In fact, we expect our stock selection across the entire portfolio to focus on attractive growth potential at prices that make sense for long-term commitments. As we end the year and begin a new one, we are pleased with the progress made in sharpening the Fund’s focus in 2007, as well as the improvement in relative performance from 2006. We look forward to building upon that foundation in 2008.*

Management Discussion of Fund performance

Q:	How did the Fund perform against its benchmark for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	The Fund had a very strong year relative to the Russell 2000® Value Index but during the fourth quarter gave back just a bit of its large outperformance. For the 12-month period, the Fund outperformed the benchmark by 12.33%, returning 2.55% versus -9.78% for the benchmark.
Q:	What factors influenced the Fund’s performance for the period ended December 31, 2007?
A:	Fortunately, most of the factors that influenced performance had a positive impact on it. For the first three quarters, stock selection had a significant positive impact on overall Fund performance. In the first quarter, the contribution from sector weights was slightly less than that of stock selection and in the second quarter it was slightly more. In the third quarter, more than 80% of the positive contribution came from stock selection.*
	On the sector weight side, large underweights in Financials and Technology helped the Fund throughout the year as did overweights in Industrials and Healthcare. Acquisitions helped some individual securities provide significant contributions to Fund returns throughout the year, including First Republic and Hub International. Dynamic Materials was also a key contributor in the third quarter because of its exposure to the robust oil and gas market and ship building which is driving growth.*
	After a very strong run through the third quarter, the Fund gave back a little in the fourth quarter. The Fund underperformed the benchmark, due in part to a negative contribution from stock selection in Healthcare.*
Q:	How do you plan to position the Fund, based on market conditions?
A:	The Fund continues to significantly overweight Industrial stocks due to our bullish outlook for individual companies; however, we have trimmed a number of our Industrial holdings due to their recent strong performance. Healthcare is another area in which we are significantly overweight due to the many companies with attractive valuations. We continue to add to the Consumer Discretionary sector as we continue to find attractive opportunities during the recent sector weakness.*
	Although Financials are significantly underweight, we are looking for opportunities to add to the sector. Specifically, we are seeing opportunities in the Insurance industry as some of those companies are getting caught up in the financial headlines but have no exposure to any of the troubled debt. We continue to be underweight in the Information Technology sector because of a limited number of companies with attractive valuations.*
	We continue to be cautious concerning valuations in the Small Cap Value equity arena. As many securities are experiencing significant price declines, we are starting to see more attractive valuations in many companies we are looking at as potential investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST December 31, 2007

1. Organization

The STI Classic Variable Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated April 18, 1995. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“the 1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company offering five funds as of December 31, 2007. The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par value. The financial statements presented herein are those of the Large Cap Core Equity Fund (formerly Large Cap Relative Value Fund), the Large Cap Growth Stock Fund (formerly Capital Appreciation Fund), the Large Cap Value Equity Fund, the Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund (formerly Mid-Cap Equity Fund), and the Small Cap Value Equity Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). Shareholders have no preemptive rights. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Sales of shares of the Funds may only be made to separate accounts of various life insurance companies and certain qualified benefit plans. Each Fund’s prospectus provides a description of that Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. The actual results could differ from these estimates.

Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third party pricing agent, the Funds’ accounting agent shall seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker. Investments in other investment companies are valued at their respective daily net asset values.

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Pricing and Valuation Procedures established by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). The Funds’ Pricing and Valuation Procedures will be performed and monitored by a Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate a security be valued using Pricing and Valuation Procedures include, but are not limited to: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Procedures, the Committee determines the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

Security Transactions and Investment Income — During the period, security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Costs used in determining net realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST December 31, 2007

Securities Lending — Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Trust’s Board. These loans may not exceed either (i) 50% of the sum of the market value of all securities of the Fund and the market value of securities purchased with cash collateral or (ii) 33.33% of the total market value of all securities of the Fund. No Fund will lend portfolio securities to its investment adviser or its affiliates unless it has applied for and received specific authority to do so from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Loans of portfolio securities will be fully collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities. The initial value of the collateral must be at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned and maintained in an amount equal to at least 102% thereafter. However, due to market fluctuations during the day, the value of securities loaned on a particular day may, during the course of the day, exceed the value of collateral. On each business day, the amount of collateral is adjusted based on the prior day’s market fluctuations and the current day’s lending activity. Income from lending activity is determined by the amount of interest earned on collateral, less any amounts payable to the borrowers of the securities and the lending agent. Lending securities involves certain risks, including the risk that the Fund may be delayed or prevented from recovering the collateral if the borrower fails to return the securities.

A fee will be obtained from the borrower if letters of credit or U.S. government securities are used as collateral. Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in the Credit Suisse Enhanced Liquidity Fund (the “Portfolio”). This investment may consist of money market mutual funds registered under the 1940 Act and money market instruments including commercial paper, repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. Agency Obligations. At December 31, 2007, the Portfolio was invested in repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit and medium term notes (with interest rates ranging from 4.250% to 5.403% and maturity dates ranging from 1/2/2008 to 3/12/2010).

The Funds paid securities lending fees for the period ended December 31, 2007, which have been netted against Income from Securities Lending on the Statements of Operations. These fees are presented below:

	Fees ($)
Large Cap Core Equity Fund		332
Large Cap Growth Stock Fund		2,561
Large Cap Value Equity Fund		1,412
Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund		471
Small Cap Value Equity Fund		2,211

Compensating Balances — If a Fund has a cash overdraft in excess of $100,000 it is required to deposit an amount equal to 110% of the overdraft in a compensating balance account with its custodian, SunTrust Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunTrust Banks, Inc., on the following business day. If a Fund has a positive cash balance in excess of $100,000 it is allowed to overdraw an amount equal to 90% of the balance from SunTrust Bank on the following business day. All such deposits to, and overdrafts from, the compensating balance account are non-interest bearing and are for a duration of one business day.

Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are pro-rated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets or another appropriate basis. Expenses attributable to the Trust and the STI Classic Funds (collectively, the “STI Complex”) are allocated across the STI Complex based upon relative net assets or another appropriate basis. As of December 31, 2007, the Trust represented 0.28% of net assets of the STI Complex.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid each calendar quarter by the Funds. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually. However, to the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, such gains will not be distributed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST December 31, 2007

New Accounting Pronouncements — In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current GAAP from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2007, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

Federal Income Taxes — It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions from net investment income and from net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

As required, effective June 29, 2007, the Trust adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trust’s tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more likely- than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liability for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. Implementation of FIN 48 included a review of tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities. The Funds are subject to federal and various state jurisdictions for income tax purposes. While the statue of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. tax returns filed for the past four fiscal years, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact the Trust’s net assets or results of operations.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and of distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Advisory Agreement — The Trust and Trusco Capital Management, Inc. (the “Investment Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunTrust Banks, Inc., have entered into an advisory agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Funds are charged annual advisory fees which are computed daily and paid monthly based upon average daily net assets. Breakpoints are used in computing the overall annual advisory fee. The maximum annual advisory fee is charged on average daily net assets of each Fund up to $500 million. A discount of 5% applies on the next $500 million, and a discount of 10% applies on amounts over $1 billion. Fee rates for the period ended December 31, 2007 were as follows:

Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund		1.00		(0.26	)		0.74
Small Cap Value Equity Fund		1.15		(0.30	)		0.85

The Investment Adviser has contractually agreed, until at least May 1, 2008, to waive fees and/or reimburse each Fund to the extent necessary to maintain each Fund’s Total Operating Expenses, expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets, as noted below:

	Total Operating Expenses (%)		Total Operating Expenses (%)
	1/1/07 - 4/30/07		5/1/07 - 12/31/07

Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund		1.15		1.10
Small Cap Value Equity Fund		1.20		1.20

Under the Expense Limitation Agreements, the Investment Adviser may retain the difference between the Total Operating Expenses identified above and the actual total expense to recapture any of its prior contractual waivers or reimbursements at a date not to exceed three years from the date of the corresponding Expense Limitation Agreement. Such repayments shall be made monthly, but only to the extent that such repayments would not cause the annualized total expense ratio to exceed the limits on Total Operating Expenses in place at that time. During the period ended December 31, 2007, the Investment Adviser did not recapture any of its prior contractual waivers or reimbursements. The Investment Adviser does not intend to recapture such amounts. As of December 31, 2007, the cumulative potential reimbursement based on reimbursements within three years from the date of the corresponding Expense Limitation Agreement (until May 1, 2010), as reduced by amounts forfeited during the period, are as follows (in thousands):

	Amount ($)
Large Cap Core Equity Fund		60
Large Cap Growth Stock Fund		134
Large Cap Value Equity Fund		101
Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund		83
Small Cap Value Equity Fund		133

Administration, Fund Accounting and Transfer Agency Agreement — The Trust has entered into a Master Services Agreement with Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (formerly BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc.) (the “Administrator”), under which the Administrator provides administrative, fund accounting, transfer agent and shareholder services for an annual fee, calculated and paid monthly (expressed as a percentage of the combined average daily net assets of the STI Complex) of: 0.0275% up to $25 billion, 0.0225% on the next $5 billion and 0.0175% for over $30 billion, plus an additional class fee of $2,714 per class annually, applicable to each additional class of shares over 145 classes of shares.

The Master Services Agreement provides for the Administrator to pay certain insurance premiums for the STI Complex, including $300,000 toward the premium for Directors and Officers Liability/Errors and Omissions insurance coverage, and $25,000 toward the premium for Fidelity Bond coverage. The Administrator has agreed, under the terms of the Master Services Agreement, to pay certain legal expenses for the benefit of the STI Complex relating to administrative service matters. The Master Services Agreement further provides for the Administrator to waive a portion of its fees for the benefit of shareholders. Such payments and fee waivers are expected to total approximately $400,000 to $650,000 annually for the STI Complex, and will not be recouped by the Administrator in subsequent years.

Distribution Agreement — The Trust and Foreside Distribution Services, L.P. (the “Distributor”) are parties to a Distribution Agreement. The Distributor receives an annual fee of $37,500 which will be borne, by the Investment Adviser, for the services it performs pursuant to the Distribution Agreement. Prior to August 1, 2007, BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership (“BISYS”) was the distributor for the Funds under a distribution agreement between BISYS and the Investment Adviser.

Custodian Agreements — SunTrust Bank acts as Custodian for the Funds. The Funds pay custody fees on the basis of their respective net assets and transaction costs.

Other — Certain officers of the STI Complex are also officers of the Investment Adviser and/or the Administrator. Such officers receive no fees from the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust. Each of the trustees receives an annual retainer fee and an additional fee for each meeting attended plus reimbursement for certain expenses incurred. Trustees receive an additional fee for attendance at committee meetings. The current retainer and meeting fees are as follows:

	Chairman ($)		Trustee ($)
Annual Retainer		75,000		60,000
Regular Meeting Fee		8,750		7,000
Special Meeting Fee		4,375		3,500
Committee Meeting Fee		4,500		3,000

The Trust approved a deferred compensation plan for its trustees, effective January 1, 2007. Under the plan, a trustee may elect to defer all or a portion of his or her compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Trust, and the value of such deferred amounts is determined by reference to the change in value of Class I Shares of one or more series of the STI Classic Funds as specified by the trustee. Benefits under the deferred compensation plan are payable upon retirement. As of December 31, 2007, under the deferred compensation plan, the Trust had a deferred liability of approximately $189.

The Investment Adviser provides services to the STI Complex to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Investment Adviser has designated a dedicated compliance staff and an employee to serve as Chief Compliance Officer. The Investment Adviser receives an annual fee totaling $475,000 for these services. In addition, the Administrator provides an employee and staff to assist the Chief Compliance Officer for the STI Complex, including providing certain related services, and receives an annual fee of $156,750 for providing these services. The fees above are allocated based on average daily net assets of the STI Complex and are reflected on the Statements of Operations as “Compliance Service Fees”.

Federal Tax Information

At December 31, 2007, the total cost of securities and the net realized gains or losses on securities sold for Federal income tax purposes were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. These differences were generally due to losses on wash sales, which cannot be used for Federal income tax purposes in the current year and have been deferred for use in future years. The Federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for securities held by the Funds at December 31, 2007 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST December 31, 2007

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
STI Classic Variable Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Large Cap Core Equity Fund, Large Cap Growth Stock Fund, Large Cap Value Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund, and Small Cap Value Equity Fund (constituting STI Classic Variable Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Trust”) at December 31, 2007, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Trust’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST December 31, 2007
(Unaudited)

ANNUAL APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

The continuance of the Trust’s investment advisory agreement with Trusco Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) must be specifically approved at least annually by (i) the vote of the Trustees or a vote of the shareholders of the Funds and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the agreement or “interested persons” of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), as defined in the Investment Company Act 1940, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Each year, the Board of Trustees calls and holds a meeting to decide whether to renew the Trust’s agreement for the upcoming year. In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of information from the Adviser. The Trustees use this information, as well as other information that the Adviser and other service providers may submit to the Board, to help them decide whether to renew the agreement for another year.

In considering the renewal of the agreement this year, the Board requested and received material from the Adviser in preparation for a special meeting of the Board held on October 23, 2007, and requested and reviewed additional material from the Adviser in preparation for its quarterly meeting held on November 13, 2007, at which it specifically considered the renewal of the agreement. Such material included, among other things, information about: (a) the quality of the Adviser’s investment management and other services; (b) the Adviser’s investment management personnel; (c) the Adviser’s operations and financial condition; (d) the Adviser’s brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (e) the level of the advisory fees that the Adviser charges the Funds compared with the fees it charges to comparable mutual funds or accounts; (f) the Funds’ overall fees and operating expenses compared with similar mutual funds; (g) the level of the Adviser’s profitability from its Fund-related operations; (h) the Adviser’s compliance systems; (i) the Adviser’s policies and procedures for personal securities transactions; (j) the Adviser’s reputation, expertise and resources in domestic financial markets; and (k) the Funds’ performance compared with similar mutual funds. The Board also received a memorandum from Fund counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Trustees in connection with their consideration of the agreement.

At both meetings, representatives from the Adviser presented additional oral and written information to the Board to help the Board evaluate the Adviser’s fees and other aspects of the agreement. The Board also considered information presented by the Adviser and other service providers at meetings held throughout the year. The Trustees discussed the written materials, oral presentations, and any other information that the Board received, and considered the approval of the agreement in light of this information.

Based on the Board’s deliberations and evaluation of the information it received, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the agreement and the selection of the Adviser and determined that the compensation under the agreement is fair and reasonable in light of the services to be performed. The Board considered the following specific factors, none of which was controlling, and made the following conclusions:

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services

The Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, the Adviser’s personnel, experience, track record, and compliance program. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of, and amount of attention expected to be given to the Funds by, its portfolio management teams. The Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds, and responsibilities of the portfolio managers responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds. The Board also reviewed information pertaining to the Adviser’s organizational structure, senior management, investment operations, and other relevant information. In addition, the Board reviewed the Adviser’s organizational restructuring plan for 2008 and its potential effects on the Funds’ shareholders. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser supported the approval of the agreement.

Performance

The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, including any periods of outperformance and underperformance, both on an absolute basis and a comparative basis to indices and other funds within the same investment categories. Specifically, the Board considered each Fund’s performance relative to its peer group and appropriate benchmarks in light of total return, yield, and market trends. As part of this review, the Board considered the composition of the peer group and selection criteria, as well as market risk and shareholder risk expectations. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanations regarding specific performance issues. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the performance of the Funds and the Adviser supported the approval of the agreement.

Fund Expenses

With respect to advisory fees, the Board considered the rate of compensation under the agreement and each Fund’s net operating expense ratio in comparison to those of comparable mutual funds. The Trustees also considered information about average expense ratios of comparable mutual funds in each Fund’s peer group. Finally, the Trustees considered the effect of the Adviser’s waiver and reimbursement of fees and expenses, where applicable, to prevent total expenses from exceeding a specified amount and that, due to these waivers and reimbursements, net operating expenses have been maintained at competitive levels. In particular, with respect to a Fund whose fee comparison ranked it high among its peer group, the Board considered the Adviser’s plan to implement new contractual fee waivers for that Fund. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported the approval of the agreement.

Profitability

The Board reviewed information about the profitability of the Funds to the Adviser and considered whether the level of profitability was reasonable and justified in light of the quality of the services rendered to the Funds and in comparison to other advisory firms. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the profitability of the Adviser is within the range the Board considered reasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the existence of economies of scale and whether they were passed along to Fund shareholders through a graduated advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee and expense waivers and reimbursements by the Adviser. The Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the Funds obtain reasonable benefit from economies of scale.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the STI Classic Variable Trust, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

	Beginning		Ending		Expenses Paid		Expense Ratio
	Account Value		Account Value		During Period*		During Period**
	7/01/07		12/31/07		7/01/07 - 12/31/07		7/01/07 - 12/31/07
Large Cap Core Equity Fund	$	1,000.00	$	929.60	$	4.86		1.00	%
Large Cap Growth Stock Fund		1,000.00		1,096.70		5.55		1.05
Large Cap Value Equity Fund		1,000.00		952.00		4.67		0.95
Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund		1,000.00		961.90		5.39		1.09
Small Cap Value Equity Fund		1,000.00		908.00		5.77		1.20

* Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.

Hypothetical Example

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning		Ending		Expenses Paid		Expense Ratio
	Account Value		Account Value		During Period*		During Period**
	7/01/07		12/31/07		7/01/07 - 12/31/07		7/01/07 - 12/31/07
Large Cap Core Equity Fund	$	1,000.00	$	1,020.16	$	5.09		1.00	%
Large Cap Growth Stock Fund		1,000.00		1,019.91		5.35		1.05

Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund		1,000.00		1,019.71		5.55		1.09
Small Cap Value Equity Fund		1,000.00		1,019.16		6.11		1.20

*	Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.

STI CLASSIC FUNDS
STI CLASSIC VARIABLE TRUST

FINANCIAL OFFICER CODE OF ETHICS

I. INTRODUCTION

     The reputation and integrity of the STI Classic Funds and STI Classic Variable Trust (the “Trusts”) are valuable assets that are vital to the Trusts’ success. The Trusts’ senior financial officers (“SFOs”) are responsible for conducting the Trusts’ business in a manner that demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of integrity. The Trusts’ SFOs include the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, comptroller or principal accounting officer, and any person who performs a similar function.

     The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) effected sweeping corporate disclosure and financial reporting reform on public companies, including mutual funds, to address corporate malfeasance and assure investors that the companies in which they invest are accurately and completely disclosing financial information. Under the Act, all public companies (including the Trust) must either have a code of ethics for their SFOs, or disclose why it does not. The Act was intended to foster corporate environments which encourage employees to question and report unethical and potentially illegal business practices. The Trusts have chosen to adopt this Financial Officer Code of Ethics (the “Code”) to encourage their SFOs to act in a manner consistent with the highest principles of ethical conduct.

II. PURPOSES OF THE CODE

     The purposes of this Code are:

• To promote honest and ethical conduct by the Trusts’ SFOs, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

• To assist the Trusts’ SFOs in recognizing and avoiding conflicts of interest, including disclosing to an appropriate person any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict;

• To promote full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trusts file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trusts;

• To promote compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations;

• To encourage the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person of violations of this Code; and

• To establish accountability for adherence to this Code.

III. QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS CODE

     The Trusts’ compliance officer designated to oversee compliance with the Trusts’ Code of Ethics adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 shall serve as Compliance Officer for the implementation and administration of this Code. You should direct your questions about this Code to the Compliance Officer.

IV. CONDUCT GUIDELINES

     The Trusts have adopted the following guidelines under which the Trusts’ SFOs must perform their official duties and conduct the business affairs of the Trusts.

     1. ETHICAL AND HONEST CONDUCT IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE. The Trusts’ SFOs must act with honesty and integrity and avoid violations of this Code, including the avoidance of actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Trusts in personal and professional relationships.

     2. SFOS MUST DISCLOSE MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS OR RELATIONSHIPS. The Trusts’ SFOs must disclose to the Compliance Officer any actual or apparent conflicts of interest the SFO may have with the Trusts that reasonably could be expected to give rise to any violations of this Code. Such conflicts of interest may arise as a result of material transactions or business or personal relationships to which the SFO may be a party. If it is not possible to disclose the matter to the Compliance Officer, it should be disclosed to the Trusts’ Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer or another appropriate person. In addition to disclosing any actual or apparent conflicts of interest in which an SFO is personally involved, the Trusts’ SFOs have an obligation to report any other actual or apparent conflicts which they discover or of which they otherwise become aware. If you are unsure whether a particular fact pattern gives rise to a conflict of interest, or whether a particular transaction or relationship is “material,” you should bring the matter to the attention of the Compliance Officer.

     3. STANDARDS FOR QUALITY OF INFORMATION SHARED WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS OF THE TRUSTS. The Trusts’ SFOs must at all times seek to provide information to the Trusts’ service providers (adviser, administrator, outside auditor, outside counsel, custodian, etc.) that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely, and understandable.

     4. STANDARDS FOR QUALITY OF INFORMATION INCLUDED IN PERIODIC REPORTS. The Trusts’ SFOs must at all times endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate, and understandable disclosure in the Trusts’ periodic reports.

     5. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The Trusts’ SFOs must comply with the federal securities laws and other laws and rules applicable to the Trusts, such as the Internal Revenue Code.

     6. STANDARD OF CARE. The Trusts’ SFOs must at all times act in good faith and with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing your independent judgment to be subordinated. The Trusts’ SFOs must conduct the affairs of the Trusts in a responsible manner, consistent with this Code.

     7. CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION. The Trusts’ SFOs must respect and protect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of their professional duties, except when authorized by the Trusts to disclose it or where disclosure is otherwise legally mandated. You may not use confidential information acquired in the course of your work for personal advantage.

     8. SHARING OF INFORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS. The Trusts’ SFOs should share information with relevant parties to keep them informed of the business affairs of the Trusts, as appropriate, and maintain skills important and relevant to the Trusts’ needs.

     9. PROMOTE ETHICAL CONDUCT. The Trusts’ SFOs should at all times proactively promote ethical behavior among peers in your work environment.

     10. STANDARDS FOR RECORDKEEPING. The Trusts’ SFOs must at all times endeavor to ensure that the Trusts’ financial books and records are thoroughly and accurately maintained to the best of their knowledge in a manner consistent with applicable laws and this Code.

V. WAIVERS OF THIS CODE

     You may request a waiver of a provision of this Code by submitting your request in writing to the Compliance Officer for appropriate review. For example, if a family member works for a service provider that prepares the Trusts’ financial statements, you may have a potential conflict of interest in reviewing those statements and should seek a waiver of this Code to review the work. An executive officer of the Trusts, or another appropriate person (such as a designated Board or Audit Committee member), will decide whether to grant a waiver. All waivers of this code must be disclosed to the Trusts’ shareholders to the extent required by SEC rules.

VI. AFFIRMATION OF THE CODE

     Upon adoption of the Code, the Trusts’ SFOs must affirm in writing that they have received, read and understand the Code, and annually thereafter must affirm that they have complied with the requirements of the Code. To the extent necessary, the Trusts’ Compliance Officer will provide guidance on the conduct required by this Code and the manner in which violations or suspected violations must be reported and waivers must be requested.

VII. REPORTING VIOLATIONS

     In the event that an SFO discovers or, in good faith, suspects a violation of this Code, the SFO MUST immediately report the violation or suspected violation to the Compliance Officer. The Compliance Officer may, in his or her discretion, consult with another member of the Trusts’ senior management or the Board in determining how to address the suspected violation. For example, a Code violation may occur when a periodic report or financial statement of the Trusts omits a material fact, or is technically accurate but, in the view of the SFO, is written in a way that obscures its meaning.

     SFOs who report violations or suspected violations in good faith will not be subject to retaliation of any kind. Reported violations will be investigated and addressed promptly and will be treated as confidential to the extent possible.

VIII. VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE

     Dishonest or unethical conduct or conduct that is illegal will constitute a violation of this Code, regardless of whether this Code specifically refers to such particular conduct. A violation of this Code may result in disciplinary action, up to and including removal as an SFO of the Trust. A variety of laws apply to the Trusts and their operations, including the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment Company Act of 1940, state laws relating to duties owed by Trust officers, and criminal laws. The Trusts will report any suspected criminal violations to the appropriate authorities, and will investigate, address and report, as appropriate, non-criminal violations.
