by: Erin Kello

RidgeWorth [profile] is closing the spigot on its Small Cap Value Equity Fund. The Atlanta firm will shutter the fund to new investors effective April 20, 2012.

Company Press Release

ATLANTA, April 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 30, 2012 RidgeWorth Investments announced that shares of its Small Cap Value Equity Fund (the "Fund"), subadvised by Ceredex Value Advisors LLC will no longer be available for purchase by new investors effective at the close of business on April 20, 2012. Existing shareholders and clients on the effective date will be permitted to continue to make future investments in the Fund. A prospectus supplement with more details about the closing has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is available atwww.ridgeworth.com.

"We firmly believe in protecting the interests of our shareholders and clients. Given recent cash flows into the small cap value discipline, we believe that closing the Fund to new investors is in their best interest and will ensure the integrity of the investment process," states Jim Stueve, President of RidgeWorth Investments. 

The Fund, with approximately $1.38 billion* in assets under management, invests primarily in U.S. companies with market capitalizations of less than $3 billion, and which the fund managers believe are undervalued in the market place at the time of purchase.

Equity securities (stocks) may be 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. Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic values. Small capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure.
