Our History

Our origins can be traced back to 1984 when our predecessor firm, Trusco Capital Management, Inc. was incorporated in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm's objective was to provide tailored investment solutions to a variety of institutional clients. Throughout the 1990s, Trusco built its reputation through successful management rooted primarily in core growth equity and core fixed income. Over the years, Trusco's investment capabilities expanded to include a broad range of equity and fixed income styles. This expansion was the result of both organic growth and mergers, acquisitions and strategic investments which included STI Capital Management, Crestar Asset Management Company, Zevenbergen Capital Investments, Seix Investment Advisors and Alpha Equity Management.

In March 2008, Trusco Capital Management, Inc. became RidgeWorth Investments, an investment adviser registered with the SEC as well as a holding company comprised of multiple and distinct investment boutique subsidiaries. Five investment teams that previously resided within Trusco were given independent brand identities and organized as LLCs, bringing the total number of boutiques in the RidgeWorth family to eight. In 2011, the firm made a strategic decision to discontinue the relationship with two of its boutiques.

In addition to institutional investment management, RidgeWorth now dedicates itself to providing resources to its investment boutiques, allowing them to focus on delivering superior investment performance to their clients.

RidgeWorth is a subsidiary of SunTrust Banks Inc. (NYSE: STI).
