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. 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 61% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Using quantitative analysis, 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, of large cap companies tied economically to the U.S. Glenmede Investment Management LP (the “Advisor”) considers a company to be tied economically to the U.S. if the company: 1) is organized under the laws of the U.S., 2) maintains its principal place of business in the U.S., 3) is traded principally in the U.S. or 4) at the time of purchase, is included in a U.S. equity index managed by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or FTSE Russell (“Russell”). Large cap companies include companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, within the market capitalization range of any stock in the Russell 1000® Index. That capitalization range was $355 million to $3.8 trillion as of December 31, 2024.
The Advisor uses proprietary multi-factor computer models to select stocks that the models identify as undervalued and having good fundamentals and rising earnings expectations. These computer models rank securities based on certain criteria,
including valuation ratios, profitability and earnings-related measures, and material environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. As ESG information is just one investment criterion, ESG considerations are generally not solely determinative in any investment decision made by the Advisor. The Portfolio may actively trade its securities to achieve its principal investment strategies.
Principal Investment Risks
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 ten years of the Portfolio’s Advisor Shares compare to those of selected market indices. The Portfolio’s past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.glenmedeim.com or by calling 1-800-442-8299.
Bar Chart
During the periods shown in the bar chart, the highest quarterly return was 22.00% (for the quarter ended June 30, 2020) and the lowest quarterly return was -27.05% (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”).

[1] In certain cases, the Return After Taxes on Distribution and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be higher than other return figures for the same period. This will occur when a capital loss is realized upon the sale of fund shares and provides an assumed tax benefit that increases the return.
[2] The Morningstar Large Blend Average is provided so that investors may compare the performance of the Portfolio with the performance of a peer group of funds that Morningstar, Inc. considers similar to the Portfolio.
