RidgeWorth Offers that an Allocation to Mid-Caps Makes Sense in Today's Market
ATLANTA, March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RidgeWorth Investments announced today that it has published the sequel to its award-winning 2010 white paper, entitled "Why Mid-Caps?".* The new white paper entitled "Mid-Cap Investing: Taking the Middle Road May Make Sense in Today's Market" reiterates how compelling mid-cap stock performance has been over the last 30 years and illustrates how an allocation of up to 40% of mid-cap stocks can improve a portfolio's risk/reward profile compared to allocations that only include large cap and small cap exposure.
"Many investors are sitting on the sidelines of the equity market and have not realized that making an allocation to mid-caps as part of a diversified portfolio can improve portfolio performance with only minimal additional risk.", says Jim Stueve, President of RidgeWorth Investments. "We believe our mid-cap investing resources provide advisors with relevant insights and tools they need to help their clients make the right decisions in this uncertain economic environment."
Advisors can easily demonstrate to their clients how mid-cap stocks stack up to large and small caps via RidgeWorth's interactive tool www.addmidcap.com. The tool compares rolling returns of mid-cap stocks to large and small cap stocks over the last 30+ years and is updated quarterly. The user can select a specific date range to compare mid-caps to the other two cap sizes, or pick a specific time period (e.g. 10 years) and drag it through the entire 33-year period to see how the three different cap sizes have done over every specific time period since 1979.
Advisors can access the white paper and interactive tool by visiting www.addmidcap.com.

All investments involve risk. Mid-capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure. Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high grade fixed income securities.
