1. Ceredex Value Advisors LLC (“Ceredex”) is an SEC registered investment adviser incorporated in 2008 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of RidgeWorth Capital Management, Inc (“RidgeWorth”).  Ceredex was created when all of the investment decision-makers associated with the value equity investment strategies of RidgeWorth became employees of Ceredex.  The staff and decision‑making process remains intact and independent within Ceredex.  For composite reporting purposes, the Firm is defined as all equity portfolios managed by Ceredex.  Composite performance results are linked to performance history generated at RidgeWorth, and Ceredex has records that document and support this performance history.  Prior to March 31, 2008, RidgeWorth Capital Management operated under the name of Trusco Capital Management, Inc.
2. The Large Cap Value Strategy composite includes fully discretionary separately managed investment accounts and registered and unregistered mutual funds managed in accordance with the large cap value style.  Under normal circumstances, Large Cap Value portfolios will have at least 80% of their net assets invested in U.S. traded equity securities of large cap companies.  U.S. traded equity securities may include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).  Ceredex considers large cap companies to be companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index.  In selecting investments for the portfolios, Ceredex chooses companies that it believes are undervalued in the market relative to the industry sector and the company’s own valuation history.  The gross of fee return for the mutual funds is calculated by adding back the fund’s published total operating expense ratio to the net of fee mutual fund performance.  A complete description of the composite is available on request.
3. The registered and unregistered mutual funds were added to the composite effective April 1, 2008, immediately after the creation of Ceredex Value Advisors.  Prior to that date the composite consisted of only separately managed accounts.
4. The benchmark for the Large Cap Value Strategy composite is the Russell 1000 Value Index
5. As of December 31, 2011, the three-year annualized standard deviation (using monthly returns) was 19.0 for the composite and 20.7 for the benchmark index.
6. In 1999 through 2001the portfolio was under-weighted in technology stocks relative to the benchmark.  The technology sector produced the highest return in 1999 followed by three years of extremely poor performance.  Our under-weighting resulted in underperformance in 1999 followed by outperformance in 2000 and 2001.  The drop in composite assets from 2005 to 2006 was primarily due to two accounts closing during the first quarter of 2006.
7. Valuations and returns are computed and stated in U.S. Dollars.
8. Beginning 3/31/2008, composite policy requires the temporary removal of any portfolio incurring a client initiated significant cash inflow or outflow of 10% or greater of portfolio assets.
9. The dispersion of annual returns is measured by the equal-weighted standard deviation of portfolio returns represented within the composite for the full year.  Partial year dispersion is measured by the equal-weighted standard deviation of portfolio returns represented in the composite for the partial year period specified.  No dispersion is reported for periods with five or fewer portfolios (shown as N/A).
10. Returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income.  The management fee schedule applicable to large cap equity accounts is as follows:  0.75% on the first $10 million, 0.45% on the next $40 million, and 0.25% on all over $50 million.  The minimum annual fee is $10,000.
11. This composite was created March 31, 2008, the inception date of Ceredex, and continues the investment strategy of a composite originally created in 1998.  The Composite has performance history with an inception date of July 1, 1998.
12. The minimum portfolio size for the Large Cap Value Strategy composite is $500,000.  For further information on investment management fees, please refer to Form ADV Part 2.
13. Net of fee performance is calculated assuming a fee of 0.75%, the highest fee for this type of investment account.
14. Policies for valuing portfolio, calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.
15. A complete list and description of firm composites and performance results is available upon request.
16. Past performance is not indicative of future results and no investment is guaranteed for return of principal and/or return on investments.  All information provided and used in calculations is believed to be correct, but accuracy cannot be guaranteed.  Please consult with a financial professional before investing.
