LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
RIDGEWORTH VARIABLE TRUST June 30, 2008
Dear Valued RidgeWorth Variable Trust Shareholder,
Financial markets continued to adjust to the challenging economic and credit environment in the second quarter following a difficult first quarter. A volatile blend of hope and reality bisected performance for the quarter, with markets up sharply at first and then falling. However by the close of the quarter domestic and international large-cap equity indexes as well as investment-grade bonds all finished only slightly lower. The Russell 1000® Index slipped a modest 1.89% and the MSCI EAFE International Index lost 2.25%, while the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index fell 1.02%.
The quarter began on a strong note. Hope that the worst of the credit crisis was over helped drive the S&P 500 up 12% from its mid-March low through mid-May. The arranged sale of Bear Stearns was seen as the catalyst to the rally and reflected a proactive effort from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and the Treasury to maintain orderly and functioning markets by acting as a “lender of last resort.”
However, market pessimism returned in the latter half of the period amid signs of broader economic weakness leading to a sharp cyclical rise in credit losses and liquidity fears. Record energy prices, rising inflation expectations, and anti-inflation rhetoric from central bankers around the globe added to the selling pressure. The combination of slow growth, rising inflation and higher yields sent the S&P 500 down 12% by the end of the quarter, and the downward momentum continued early into the third quarter. In aggregate, second quarter performance was only off modestly with some bright spots.
Much of the equity market weakness was concentrated in Financials which lost 27% over May and June due to concerns mentioned above. Industrial and Consumer Discretionary stocks were also down, while the Energy sector rose sharply in response to surging oil prices. Gains in Technology and significantly lower exposure to Financials helped the Growth style outperform Value for the quarter and move ahead year to date. Small-Caps benefited from a steeper yield curve, a moderate narrowing in credit spreads and limited index exposure to Diversified Commercial Banks, while International stocks lagged as evidence of a global slowdown intensified and the dollar stabilized. Tighter credit conditions and weakening demand hurt Real Estate, while Hedge Funds experienced modest gains.
Long-term Treasury bond yields rose during the quarter in response to ongoing inflation pressures and a shift in Fed policy from ease to neutral. Treasury securities, which were strongest in the first quarter lagged in the second quarter, while High Yield bonds outperformed amid improved liquidity and a moderate narrowing of credit spreads from extreme levels.
We began the quarter skeptical of reports of a near-term economic recovery and felt strongly that traditional cyclical credit strains remained an issue for the markets. Our strategy during the quarter was one of relative caution with a neutral allocation to equities despite relatively attractive valuations. Moreover, the continued emphasis on the Growth style and reduced exposure to the International markets also helped relative performance.
Looking ahead, we believe the current consumer-centric pressures related to weak housing, a soft job market, high gasoline costs, and tight credit conditions will severely limit the pace of growth in the second half of the year despite healthy export gains. However we believe this economic “slack” could reduce the current build up in inflation pressures, and we see an increased likelihood that oil prices may fall moderately during the next six- to nine-months. We anticipate a steady policy from the Fed and bond yields to be range-bound while the risks to growth remain elevated.

We were cautious at the beginning of the second quarter as we said earlier. However, the markets seem to have largely adjusted to the issues and concerns mentioned above, and amid this turmoil, we see emerging investment opportunities. Credit spreads, which were extremely narrow in 2006 and 2007, are now well above average, and equity market sentiment is sharply lower despite attractive valuations. We have urged caution and patience and emphasized strength, quality and sustainability in portfolio construction while these events unfolded. Market corrections are unsettling no matter how many times we hear about the frequency and duration of “average” bear market. However these periods ultimately reveal new opportunities for renewed growth and we believe that process is well underway. We feel our patience has been rewarded and we hope to see attractive entry points for both credit and equity opportunities in the near future.
I want to take this time to thank you again for the opportunity to provide our investment expertise and services as we work together to achieve your long term investment goals.
Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
RIDGEWORTH VARIABLE TRUST June 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
1.   Organization
 
    The RidgeWorth Variable Trust (the STI Classic Variable Trust changed its name to RidgeWorth Variable Trust effective May 1, 2008) (the “Trust”) is 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, as amended, (“the 1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company offering five funds as of June 30, 2008. 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, the Large Cap Growth Stock Fund, the Large Cap Value Equity Fund, the Mid-Cap Core 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 is 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.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Statement of 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.
One key component of the implementation of SFAS No. 157 included the development of a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
    Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
 
    Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
    Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in

(Unaudited)
those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of June 30, 2008 (in thousands):

*   Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, forwards, and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) on the investment.
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.
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
RIDGEWORTH VARIABLE TRUST June 30, 2008
(Unaudited)
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 RidgeWorth Funds (the STI Classic Funds changed its name to RidgeWorth Funds effective March 31, 2008) (collectively, the “RidgeWorth Complex”) are allocated across the RidgeWorth Complex based upon relative net assets or another appropriate basis. As of June 30, 2008, the Trust represented 0.22% of net assets of the RidgeWorth 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.
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.
The Trust has 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 Funds’ 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 statute 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 RidgeWorth Capital Management, Inc. (Trusco Capital Management, Inc. changed its name to RidgeWorth Capital Management, Inc. effective March 31, 2008) (the “Investment Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunTrust Banks, Inc., have entered into an advisory agreement. Also effective March 31, 2008, the Investment Adviser created new wholly-owned subsidiaries, which serve as investment subadvisers (the “Subadvisers”) to certain funds. The Subadvisers are staffed with the same portfolio management teams that previously managed the Funds. The subadvisers for the Funds are as follows: Ceredex Value Advisors LLC serves as the Subadviser for the Large Cap Value Equity Fund and Small Cap Value Equity Fund. IronOak Advisors LLC serves as the Subadviser for the Large Cap Core Equity Fund and Mid-Cap Core Equity Fund. Silvant Capital Management LLC serves as the Subadviser for the Large Cap Growth Stock Fund.

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.

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 June 30, 2008, 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 June 30, 2008, the cumulative potential reimbursement based on reimbursements within three years from the date of the corresponding Expense Limitation Agreement (until May 1, 2011), as reduced by amounts forfeited during the period, are as follows (in thousands):

Administration, Fund Accounting and Transfer Agency Agreement — The Trust has entered into a Master Services Agreement with Citi 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 RidgeWorth 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 RidgeWorth 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 RidgeWorth 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 RidgeWorth Complex, and will not be recouped by the Administrator in subsequent years.

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 RidgeWorth Funds as specified by the trustee. Benefits under the deferred compensation plan are payable upon retirement. On May 20, 2008, the Board approved the termination of the deferred compensation plan.
The Investment Adviser provides services to the RidgeWorth Complex to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the RidgeWorth 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 the RidgeWorth Variable Trust 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 January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008.
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.

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.
