Investment Objective

Maximum long-term total return consistent with reasonable risk to principal.

Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell Institutional Shares of the Portfolio. You may pay brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries which are not reflected in the table and example below.

Institutional Shares

Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses

(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Management Fees 0.55%

Other Expenses

2.90%

Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses 3.45%
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements1 2.80%
Net Expenses 0.65%

1 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 for Institutional Shares exceed 0.65% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Shares (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 May 5, 2026 and may discontinue this arrangement at any time thereafter. This contractual fee waiver agreement may not be terminated before May 5, 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 Institutional 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:

1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$66 $798 $1,552 $3,542

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 its securities to achieve its principal investment strategies. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 85% 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 common stocks of small cap companies tied economically to the U.S. 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"). Small cap companies include companies with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, within the market capitalization range of any stock in the Russell 2000® Index. That capitalization range was $8.2 million to $14.8 billion as of December 31, 2024.

The Advisor uses proprietary multi-factor computer models to select stocks that the models identify as undervalued. These computer models rank securities based on certain criteria, including price in relation to earnings, cash flow and assets, and material environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. The Portfolio may actively trade its securities to achieve its principal investment strategies.

Principal Investment Risks

All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the Portfolio cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. In addition, the strategies that the Advisor uses may fail to produce the intended result. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Portfolio, regardless of the order in which it appears. Different risks may be more significant at different times depending on market conditions and other factors. An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Therefore, you could lose money by investing in the Portfolio.

The Portfolio may be appropriate for you if you are investing for goals several years away and are comfortable with stock market risks. The Portfolio would not be appropriate for you if you are investing for short-term goals, or are mainly seeking current income.

Market Risk: Stocks may decline over short or even extended periods of time. Equity markets tend to be cyclical: there are times when stock prices generally increase, and other times when they generally decrease. In addition, the Portfolio is subject to the additional risk that the particular types of stocks held by the Portfolio will underperform other types of securities. Market risks, including political, regulatory, market, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Portfolio's investments. Natural disasters, public health emergencies (including pandemics and epidemics such as COVID-19), war, military conflict, terrorism and other global unforeseeable events may lead to instability in world economies and markets, may lead to market volatility, and may have adverse long-term effects. The Portfolio cannot predict the effects of such unforeseeable events in the future on the economy, the markets or the Portfolio's investments.

Value Style Risk: Although the Portfolio invests in stocks the Advisor believes to be undervalued, there is no guarantee that the prices of these stocks will not move even lower. In addition, the value investment style can shift into and out of favor with investors, depending on market and economic conditions. As a result, the Portfolio may at times outperform or underperform other funds that invest more broadly or employ a different investment style.

Small Cap Risk: The Portfolio is subject to the risk that the stocks of smaller and newer issuers can be more volatile and more speculative than the stocks of larger issuers. Smaller companies tend to have limited resources, product lines and market share. As a result, their share prices tend to fluctuate more than those of larger companies. Their shares may also trade less frequently and in limited volume, making them potentially less liquid. The price of small company stocks might fall regardless of trends in the broader market.

Frequent Trading Risk: A high rate of portfolio turnover involves correspondingly high transaction costs, which may adversely affect the Portfolio's performance over time. High portfolio turnover may also result in the realization of short-term capital gains. Distributions derived from such gains will be treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.

Investment Style Risk: The Portfolio invests in securities that the Advisor believes are reasonably priced. There is no guarantee that the prices of these securities will not move even lower.

Tax Managed Risk: The Portfolio uses various investment methods in seeking to reduce the impact of Federal and state income taxes on shareholders' returns. As a result, the Portfolio may defer the opportunity to realize gains.

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 has varied from year to year. The table shows how the Portfolio's average annual total returns for one year, five years and since inception 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. 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.

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Portfolio had not offered Institutional Shares to investors. The returns below represent the returns for Advisor Shares of the Portfolio, which are offered in a separate prospectus. Institutional Shares and Advisor Shares of the Portfolio should have returns that are substantially the same because they represent investments in the same portfolio of securities and differ only to the extent that they have different expenses.

During the periods shown in the bar chart, the highest quarterly return was 27.46% (for the quarter ended December 31, 2020) and the lowest quarterly return was -33.93% (for the quarter ended March 31, 2020).

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").

Tax Information

The Portfolio's distributions are taxable and will generally be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are purchasing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or IRA. Such tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of monies from those arrangements.

Purchase and Sale of Portfolio Shares

The minimum initial investment is $10,000,000, which may be reduced or waived in some cases from time to time. There is no minimum for subsequent investments. Approved brokers and other institutions that purchase shares on behalf of their clients may have their own minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements. You may redeem shares at any time by contacting The Glenmede Trust Company, N.A. ("Glenmede Trust") by telephone or facsimile or contacting the institution through which you purchased your shares.

Financial Intermediary Compensation

If you purchase shares of the Portfolio through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Portfolio and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Portfolio shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Portfolio over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's Web site for more information.
