ATLANTA, March 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- RidgeWorth Investments announced today that it has re-launched its award-winning(1) "Add Midcap" campaign to demonstrate the value of mid-cap investing. The updated white paper, entitled "Why Mid-Cap?", reviews historical performance, evaluates current conditions that favor mid-caps, analyzes the performance of mid-caps during market and economic cycles and details why mid-cap stocks should be an important part of investors' allocations. In support of the campaign, RidgeWorth's addmidcap.com microsite helps advisors easily demonstrate to their clients how mid-caps have performed relative to large and small caps over the past 30+ years. The interactive tool lets users pick a specific date range to compare mid-caps to other cap sizes, or pick a specific time period (e.g. 10 years) with the ability to drag it through the entire 30-year period to see how different cap sizes have done over every specific time period since 1979. "Our goal is to deliver relevant and timely thought-leadership and investment insight to advisors," said Jim Stueve, President of RidgeWorth Investments. "The Add Midcap campaign is a continuation of our strategy to provide advisors with our 'individual insight' via minimally-branded educational resources and tools that help them add value for their clients." Advisors can access the white paper and interactive tool by visiting www.addmidcap.com.
