Glenmede Investment Management LP (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent that the Portfolio’s annual total operating expenses exceed 0.85% of the Portfolio’s Advisor Shares’ average daily net assets (excluding Acquired Fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary items, interest and taxes). The Advisor has contractually agreed to these waivers and/or reimbursements until at least September 2, 2026 and may discontinue this arrangement at any time thereafter. This contractual fee waiver agreement may not be terminated before September 2, 2026 without the approval of The Glenmede Fund, Inc.’s (the “Fund”) Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio’s Advisor Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same, taking into account the fee waiver in the first year of each period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. The Portfolio may actively trade portfolio securities to achieve its principal investment strategies. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 80% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal market circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, of U.S. small and medium (“SMID”) cap companies that the Advisor believes are undervalued. SMID cap companies include companies with the market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, that are within the market capitalization range of the smallest stock in the Russell 2500 Index to the largest stock in the Russell Midcap Index. That capitalization range was $7.8 million to $279.5 billion as of April 30, 2025.
The Advisor uses a combination of quantitative and fundamental research to select securities. The Advisor uses a quantitative proprietary multi-factor computer model which identifies a list of attractive securities having revenue and earnings growth potential with reasonable valuations, then applies fundamental research to select which securities to buy and sell for this Portfolio. The Advisor considers material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in the context of long-term investor decision making.
Performance Information
The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Portfolio’s Advisor Shares has varied from year to year. The table shows how the average annual total returns for one year, five years and since inception of the Portfolio’s Advisor Shares compare to those of selected market indices.
Effective September 2, 2025, the Portfolio underwent a change to its investment objective and principal investment strategy (the “Repositioning”). In connection with the Repositioning, the Portfolio will be repositioned to invest in undervalued equity securities, such as common stocks and preferred stocks, of U.S. SMID cap companies. Accordingly, the performance of the Portfolio shown prior to September 2, 2025 reflects the Portfolio’s prior principal investment strategy and objective; the Portfolio’s performance would have differed if the Portfolio’s current principal investment strategy and objective had been in place.
The Portfolio’s past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. Performance reflects expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers in effect. If such expense reimbursements or fee waivers were not in place, the Portfolio’s performance would be reduced. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.glenmedeim.com or by calling 1-800-442-8299.
During the periods shown in the bar chart, the highest quarterly return was 20.58% (for the quarter ended June 30, 2020) and the lowest quarterly return was -27.56% (for the quarter ended March 31, 2020).
Average Annual Total Returns (for the periods ended December 31, 2024)
After-tax returns for the Portfolio are calculated using the historical highest individual Federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Portfolio shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”).
