On December 14, 2016, the Board of Trustees (the Board ) of RidgeWorth Funds approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Plan of Reorganization ) relating to the proposed reorganizations (the Reorganizations ) of the Funds, each a series of RidgeWorth Funds, into newly created series of Virtus Asset Trust. Each Reorganization is subject to the completion of certain conditions, including approval by shareholders of the respective Fund. Under the Plan of Reorganization, the Funds would reorganize into the following series of Virtus Asset Trust (the Acquiring Funds ): RidgeWorth Funds RidgeWorth Ceredex Large Cap Value Equity Fund RidgeWorth Ceredex Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund RidgeWorth Ceredex Small Cap Value Equity Fund RidgeWorth Silvant Large Cap Growth Stock Fund RidgeWorth Silvant Small Cap Growth Stock Fund RidgeWorth Innovative Growth Stock Fund RidgeWorth International Equity Fund RidgeWorth Seix Core RidgeWorth Seix Corporate RidgeWorth Seix Total Return RidgeWorth Seix U.S. Mortgage Fund RidgeWorth Seix Limited Duration Fund RidgeWorth Seix Short-Term RidgeWorth Seix U.S. Government Securities Ultra-Short Bond Fund RidgeWorth Seix Ultra-Short RidgeWorth Seix Floating Rate High Income Fund RidgeWorth Seix High Income Fund Virtus Asset Trust Virtus Ceredex Large-Cap Value Equity Fund Virtus Ceredex Mid-Cap Value Equity Fund Virtus Ceredex Small-Cap Value Equity Fund Virtus Silvant Large-Cap Growth Stock Fund Virtus Silvant Small-Cap Growth Stock Fund Virtus Zevenbergen Innovative Growth Stock Fund Virtus WCM International Equity Fund Virtus Seix Core Virtus Seix Corporate Virtus Seix Total Return Virtus Seix U.S. Mortgage Fund Virtus Seix Limited Duration Fund Virtus Seix Short-Term Virtus Seix U.S. Government Securities Ultra-Short Virtus Seix Ultra-Short Virtus Seix Floating Rate High Income Fund Virtus Seix High Income Fund

Proxy materials describing the Reorganizations and the Board s considerations in approving the proposal were mailed to shareholders of record of the Funds in anticipation of a special meeting of shareholders scheduled for May 9, 2017. As a result of the Reorganizations, shareholders of a Fund would become shareholders of the respective Acquiring Fund and would receive shares of the respective Acquiring Fund equal in aggregate net asset value to the shares of the Fund they held immediately prior to the Reorganization. If the Reorganizations are approved by shareholders and consummated, a Fund shareholder who does not wish to become a shareholder of the respective Acquiring Fund may redeem shares of the Fund at any time prior to the Reorganization. Each Reorganization may be terminated at any time before the closing date of the Reorganization by action of either the Board or the Board of Trustees of the Virtus Asset Trust. The foregoing is not an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, shares of the Fund or Acquiring Fund, nor is it a solicitation of any proxy. For more information regarding the Reorganizations, please call (855) 928-4486.

This agreement may be terminated upon written notice to the Adviser by RidgeWorth Funds. 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 1
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: 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years A Shares $707 $1,001 $1,315 $2,205 C Shares $281 $ 560 $ 964 $2,095 I Shares $114 $ 356 $ 617 $1,363 IS Shares $ 82 $ 255 $ 444 $ 990 You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares: 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years A Shares $707 $1,001 $1,315 $2,205 C Shares $181 $ 560 $ 964 $2,095 I Shares $114 $ 356 $ 617 $1,363 IS Shares $ 82 $ 255 $ 444 $ 990 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 98% of the average value of its portfolio. Principal Investment Strategies Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S.-traded equity securities of mid-capitalization companies. U.S.-traded equity securities may include American Depositary Receipts ( ADRs ). Ceredex Value Advisors LLC ( Ceredex or the Subadviser ) considers mid-capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the Russell Midcap Index. As of July 1, 2016, the market capitalization range of companies in the Russell Midcap Index was between approximately $1.40 billion and $28.6 billion. As a result of its investment strategy, the Fund s portfolio turnover rate may be 100% or more. In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser chooses companies that it believes are undervalued in the market relative to the industry sector and the company s own valuation history. The Subadviser evaluates potential catalysts that may cause an upward re-rating of the stock s valuation. The common stocks purchased for the Fund generally pay dividends at the time of purchase or are expected to pay dividends soon after their purchase. ADR Risk: Investments in ADRs involve risks similar to those accompanying direct investments in foreign securities. These include the risk that political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. 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. Frequent Trading Risk: Frequent buying and selling of investments may involve higher trading costs and other expenses and may affect the Fund's performance over time. High rates of portfolio turnover may result in the realization of short-term capital gains and losses. The payment of taxes on these gains could adversely affect your after tax return on your investment in the Fund. Any distributions resulting from such gains or losses may be considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: 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. Midcapitalization companies may be newer or less established, and may have limited resources, products and markets, and may be less liquid. 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 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. 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. 2
This bar chart shows the changes in performance of the Fund s I Shares from year to year.* 60 40 21.97% 20 5.43% 0-20 46.98% 27.66% -7.31% 31.21% 21.79% 11.00% -6.00% 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. -40-60 -34.79% 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Investment Adviser and Subadviser RidgeWorth Investments is the Fund s investment adviser (the Adviser ).

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries If you purchase shares of the Fund through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or investment adviser, the Fund, the Adviser or the Distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial intermediary or visit your financial intermediary s website for more information. RFSUM-MCV-0816
