  • Background:
    On December 16, 2016, publicly-traded, subadvised mutual fund shop Virtus Investment Partners publicly agreed to buy RidgeWorth. The $513-million deal, which would keep key RidgeWorth investment professionals on as shareholders, is expected to close in mid-2017.

    RidgeWorth is a private-equity-backed firm that started in 1984 as an investment management arm of SunTrust Banks known as Trusco Capital Management. It became independent in a management-lead buyout backed by Lightyear Capital LLC in 2014.

    RidgeWorth has six investment boutiques: Ceredex Value Advisors, Certium Asset Management, Seix Investment Advisors, Silvant Capital Management, StableRiver Capital Management and Zevenbergen Capital Investments.

    Sale to Lightyear

    On December 11, 2013, SunTrust executives said they would sell RidgeWorth to private equity shop Lightyear Capital and to RidgeWorth employees for $245 million and up to $20 million of incentive payements.

    Business Strategy

    Since the sale to Lightyear, Ridgeworth has been open to a growth by acquisition strategy. In February 2014, MFWire reported that is looking to buy boutique asset managers.

    In January 2014, the firm planned a 30 percent increase of its sales force.

    History

    Trusco was incorporated in Atlanta in 1984. In March 2008, Trusco changed its name to RidgeWorth and the STI Classic Funds were subsequently rebranded RidgeWorth Funds.

    In January 2010, a report surfaced in the media that SunTrust hired Sandler O'Neillto explore a possible sale of RidgeWorth.
