1) A Review by Seix Investment Advisors LLC FIRST QUARTER 2016 RIDGEWORTH INSIGHTS: LEVERAGED LOAN AND HIGH YIELD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY George Goudelias Senior Portfolio Manager, RidgeWorth Investments Managing Director and Head of Leveraged Finance, Seix Investment Advisors Vincent Flanagan, CFA Portfolio Manager, RidgeWorth Investments Senior High Yield Research Analyst – Media and Technology, Seix Investment Advisors Michael Kirkpatrick Senior Portfolio Manager, RidgeWorth Investments Managing Director and Senior High Yield Research Analyst – Gaming and Finance, Seix Investment Advisors James FitzPatrick, CFA Portfolio Manager, RidgeWorth Investments Managing Director and Head of Leveraged Finance Trading, Seix Investment Advisors RIDGEWORTH FUNDS RidgeWorth Seix Floating Rate High Income RidgeWorth Seix High Income RidgeWorth Seix High Yield • Early in the first quarter, investors’ concerns about the health of the global economy led to a risk-off stance. • Central bank actions and a sharp rebound in commodities prices led investors back to higher-risk investments. • Issuance remains soft in the leveraged loan market, but technicals and fund flows are improving. After a challenging January and February, the leveraged loan and high yield markets ended the first quarter of 2016 on relatively high notes. Investors concerned about the health of the global economy and the continued decline in commodity prices generally took a risk-off approach early in the period, leading to declines for below-investment-grade securities. However, easing measures by several central banks and a meaningful recovery in commodity prices fueled a more aggressive approach by investors that benefited the leveraged loan and high yield markets. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index advanced 3.03% during the three months through March, the Credit Suisse (CS) Leveraged Loan Index returned 1.33% and the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index rose 3.35%.

The Energy, Metals and Mining, Manufacturing and Utilities sectors had come under considerable pressure late in 2015 owing to a protracted downturn in commodity prices. As prices recovered in the latter half of the first quarter, the Energy and Metals and Mining sectors benefited, in particular, gaining approximately 10% and 11%, respectively (as represented by the CS Leveraged Loan Index). 467 388 400 368 302 300 200 0 181 148 53 2007 2008 72 356 300 246 100 399 293 326 275 300 220 155 38 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016F Source: J.P.

As leveraged loans rallied to end the quarter, issuance ticked slightly higher. Monthly issuance in March hit roughly $20 billion—an increase from January and February, but still approximately 30% lower than in March 2015. Issuance of collateralized loan obligations also picked up in March after a weak start to the year, but remained well below levels during the same period last year. Overall, U.S. loan issuance fell to $112 billion in the first quarter, a 29% decline from last year’s fourth quarter and the lowest quarterly result since late 2011.1 Investors’ risk-off stance early in the period reduced demand for leveraged loans, contributing to the slowdown in issuance. 1 The high yield market, as represented by the BofA ML High Yield Cash Pay Index, posted negative returns during the first six weeks of the period, with BB-rated securities falling 3.7%, B-rated bonds declining 5.6% and CCC-rated issues tumbling 9.7%. The Energy sector was down nearly 20% during the year’s first six weeks, and high yield option-adjusted spreads widened to 887 basis points. The high yield market improved dramatically after midFebruary. BB-rated issues returned 7.6%, B-rated bonds rose 8.55% and CCC-rated credit jumped nearly 15%. The rebound in commodity prices fueled a 26.5% rise in the Energy sector and a 17.4% gain for Metals and Mining. A rosier economic picture also served as a tailwind for high yield bonds.

Default rates rose during the period to 3.22% in March from 2.35% at the end of February, but the bulk of those defaults were contained in the Energy and Metals and Mining sectors. Excluding those issues, the default rate was a much more manageable level of 0.41%—indicating that most of the decline in high yield fundamentals has occurred in commodities-related sectors rather than broadly throughout the market. OUTLOOK We remain constructive on the leveraged loan market in the near term, particularly because of its attractive valuations. Economic data continues to be supportive of reasonable economic growth rates, which tend to be positive for this asset class. That said, we will continue to watch fund flows and other technical factors in the leveraged loan market, and will review corporate fundamentals during the upcoming earnings season. We believe that the kind of volatile, challenging market environment we see today is best addressed through active management, which is core to our investment approach. Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is an unmanaged index of U.S. bonds, which includes reinvestment of any earnings and is widely used to measure the overall performance of the U.S. bond market. Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index is an unmanaged market valueweighted index that covers the universe of fixed rate, non-investment grade debt. BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Cash Pay Index is an unmanaged index used as a general measure of market performance consisting of fixed-rate, coupon-bearing bonds with an outstanding par which is greater than or equal to $50 million, a maturity range greater than or equal to one year and must be less than BBB/Baa3 rated but not in default. Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index is a market-weighted index that tracks the performance of institutional leveraged loans. Investors cannot invest directly in an index A Basis Point is equal to 0.01%. Collateralized loan obligations are securities backed by a pool of debt, often lowrated corporate loans. Credit Spreads are the difference between the yields of sector types and/or maturity ranges. Credit Ratings noted herein are calculated based on S&P, Moody’s and Fitch ratings. Generally, ratings range from AAA, the highest quality rating, to D, the lowest, with BBB and above being called investment grade securities. BB and below are considered below investment grade securities. If the ratings from all three agencies are available, securities will be assigned the median rating based on the numerical equivalents. If the ratings are available from only two of the agencies, the more conservative of the ratings will be assigned to the security. If the rating is available from only one agency, then that rating will be used. Ratings do not apply to a fund or to a fund’s shares. Ratings are subject to change. The option-adjusted spread is the measurement of the spread of a fixed income security rate and the risk-free rate of return, which is adjusted to take into account an embedded option. We expect the high yield market to continue to recover, particularly if energy prices keep stabilizing and the fundamentals of non-commodity related sectors remain moderately positive. We expect to see rising defaults, particularly in the Energy and Metals and Mining sectors. Nevertheless, we see potential opportunities in the Energy sector, particularly among low-cost natural gas producers in the Appalachian Basin. And we believe that current spread levels more than compensate investors for any increase in defaults, even after the strong rebound late in the first quarter. Investment Risks: Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher-quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return. Generally, a fund’s fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. Although a fund’s yield may be higher than that of fixed income funds that purchase higher-rated securities, the potentially higher yield is a function of the greater risk of that fund’s underlying securities. Floating rate loans are typically senior and secured, in contrast to other below-investment grade securities. However, there is no guarantee that the value of the collateral will not decline, causing a loan to be substantially unsecured. Loans generally are subject to restrictions on resale. The value of the collateral securing a floating rate loan can decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. Participation in certain types of loans may limit the ability of a fund to enforce its rights and may involve assuming additional credit risks.
