RidgeWorth is now free to pursue its own destiny.

The firm completed its buyout deal from former parent SunTrust. The deal was originally announced in December 2013.

The buyout was done in a partnership with private equity shop Lightyear Capital.

Senior executives at RidgeWorth, including CEO Ashi Parikh, told MFWire in February 2014 and again in late March, that the firm is hungry for deals.
