PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
Each Portfolio may advertise or quote total return data from time to
time. Total return will be calculated on an average annual total return basis,
and may also be calculated on an aggregate total return basis, for various
periods. Average annual total return reflects the average annual percentage
change in value of an investment in the particular Portfolio over the measuring
period. Aggregate total return reflects the total percentage change in value
over the measuring period. Both methods of calculating total return assume that
dividends and capital gains distributions made by a Portfolio during the
period are reinvested in Portfolio shares.
Each Portfolio may compare its total returns to that of other
investment companies with similar investment objectives and to stock and other
relevant indices or to rankings prepared by independent services or other
financial or industry publications that monitor the performance of mutual funds.
For example, the total return of the Institutional International Portfolio may
be compared to data prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper") and
the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index. Total return of the
Emerging Markets Portfolio may be compared to data prepared by Lipper, the
Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Free Index (also known as
the Emerging Markets Index) and the International Financial Corporation
Composite Index. Total return and other performance data as reported in national
financial publications such as Money Magazine, Forbes, Barron's, The Wall Street
Journal and The New York Times, or in publications of a local or regional
nature, may also be used in comparing the performances of the Portfolios.
Performance quotations will represent a Portfolio's past performance,
and should not be considered as representative of future results. Since
performance will fluctuate, performance data for a Portfolio should not be used
to compare an investment in a Portfolio's shares with bank deposits, savings
accounts and similar investment alternatives which often provide an agreed or
guaranteed fixed yield/return for a stated period of time. Shareholders should
remember that performance is generally a function of the kind and quality of the
instruments held in a Portfolio, portfolio maturity, operating expenses and
market conditions. Any management fees charged by the Advisor or institutions to
their clients will not be included in a Portfolio's calculations of total
return.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objective of each Portfolio is not fundamental and may
be changed by the Board members without shareholder approval.
INSTITUTIONAL INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
The objective of the Institutional International Portfolio is to
provide maximum, long-term total return consistent with reasonable risk to
principal. The Institutional International Portfolio seeks to achieve its
objective by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of
companies located outside the United States. The Institutional International
Portfolio is expected to diversify its investments across companies located in a
number of foreign countries, which may include, but are not limited to, Japan,
the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden,
Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. The Institutional International Portfolio
will invest an aggregate of at least 65% of its total assets in the securities
of companies (other than investment companies) in at least three different
countries, other than the United States.
The securities which the Institutional International Portfolio may
purchase include the following: common stocks of companies located outside the
U.S.; shares of closed-end investment companies which invest chiefly in the
shares of companies located outside the U.S. (such shares will be purchased by
-6-
<PAGE>
the Institutional International Portfolio within the limits prescribed by the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")); U.S. or foreign securities
convertible into foreign common stock; and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs")
which are U.S. domestic securities representing ownership rights in foreign
companies.
The Institutional International Portfolio also may enter into forward
currency exchange contracts only in order to hedge against uncertainty in the
level of future foreign exchange rates in the purchase and sale of investment
securities; it may not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes. See
"Investment Techniques--Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts."
The Institutional International Portfolio intends to remain, for the
most part, fully invested in equity securities of companies located outside of
the United States. However, the Institutional International Portfolio may invest
a portion of its assets (up to 20% under normal circumstances) in the following
fixed income and money market securities: obligations of the U.S. Government and
its guaranteed or sponsored agencies, including shares of open-end or closed-end
investment companies which invest in such obligations (such shares will be
purchased within the limits prescribed by the 1940 Act and would subject a
shareholder of the Institutional International Portfolio to expenses of the
other investment company in addition to the expenses of the Portfolio);
short-term money market instruments issued in the U.S. or abroad, denominated in
dollars or any foreign currency, including short-term certificates of deposit
(including variable rate certificates of deposit), time deposits with a maturity
no greater than 180 days, bankers acceptances, commercial paper rated A-1 by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, Division of McGraw Hill ("S&P") or Prime-1 by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or in equivalent money market
securities; and high quality fixed income securities denominated in U.S.
dollars, any foreign currency, or a multi-national currency unit such as the
European Currency Unit.
EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO
The objective of the Emerging Markets Portfolio is to provide long-term
growth of capital. The Emerging Markets Portfolio seeks to achieve this
objective by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers in countries
having emerging markets. It is currently expected that under normal conditions
at least 65% of the Emerging Markets Portfolio's total assets will be invested
in emerging market equity securities.
The Portfolio considers countries having emerging markets to be all
countries that are generally considered to be developing or emerging countries
by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (more commonly
referred to as the World Bank) and the International Finance Corporation, as
well as countries that are classified by the United Nations or otherwise
regarded by their authorities as developing. The countries may include, but are
not limited to, the following: Turkey, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Greece,
Malaysia, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Portugal and Hungary. In addition, as used
in this Prospectus, "emerging market equity securities" means (i) equity
securities of companies the principal securities trading market for which is an
emerging market country, as defined above, (ii) equity securities, traded in any
market, of companies that derive 50% or more of their total revenue from either
goods or services produced in such emerging market countries or sales made in
such emerging market countries or (iii) equity securities of companies organized
under the laws of, and with a principal office in, an emerging market country.
"Equity securities," as used in this Prospectus, refers to common stock,
preferred stock, warrants or rights to subscribe to or purchase such securities
and sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs"), and
Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs"). Determinations as to eligibility will be
made by the Emerging Markets Portfolio's sub-advisor, Pictet International
Management Limited (the "Sub-Advisor"), based on publicly available information
and inquiries made to the companies. See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of the
nature of information publicly available for non-U.S. companies. The Portfolio
-7-
<PAGE>
will at all times, except during defensive periods, maintain investments in at
least three countries having developing markets. The Sub-Advisor will limit
holdings in any one country to 15% at the time of investment.
The Emerging Markets Portfolio and its Sub-Advisor may, from time to
time, use various methods of selecting securities for the Emerging Markets
Portfolio, and may also employ and rely on independent or affiliated sources of
information and ideas in connection with management of the Portfolio. The
Sub-Advisor's philosophy for investing in emerging markets focuses on stock
selection and significantly diversifying the Portfolio's investments on a
company and country level. The Sub-Advisor uses a proprietary data base which
screens for emerging markets that meet the Sub-Advisor's strict quantitative
criteria. Generally, in order for a country to be included by the Sub-Advisor as
a permissible emerging market investment it must satisfy three conditions and
meet certain additional criteria. First, the country must meet certain custodial
criteria, such as security of assets and international experience. Second, the
country typically satisfies certain socioeconomic conditions, including
political stability, freedom to invest and repatriate capital and deregulation
of the economy. Third, the country typically satisfies specific cyclical
criteria, including liquidity conditions, industrial production capacity
constraints, direction of real interest rates and the valuation of the market.
For long-term growth of capital, the Emerging Markets Portfolio may
invest up to 35% of its total assets in debt securities (defined as bonds,
notes, debentures, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, time deposits and
bankers' acceptances) which are rated at least Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P or
are unrated debt securities deemed to be of comparable quality by the
Sub-Advisor. Securities with the lowest rating in the investment grade category
(i.e., Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P) are considered to have some speculative
characteristics and are more sensitive to economic change than higher rated
securities. Certain debt securities can provide the potential for long-term
growth of capital based on various factors such as changes in interest rates,
economic and market conditions, improvement in an issuer's ability to repay
principal and pay interest, and ratings upgrades. Additionally, convertible
bonds can provide the potential for long-term growth of capital through the
conversion feature, which enables the holder of the bond to benefit from
increases in the market price of the securities into which they are convertible.
However, there can be no assurances that debt securities or convertible bonds
will provide long-term growth of capital.
The Emerging Markets Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities. In
addition, the Emerging Markets Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency
contracts and reverse repurchase agreements. When deemed appropriate by the
Sub-Advisor, the Emerging Markets Portfolio may invest cash balances in
repurchase agreements and other money market investments to maintain liquidity
in an amount to meet expenses or for day-to-day operating purposes. These
investment techniques are described below and under the heading "Investment
Objective and Policies" in the SAI.
When the Sub-Advisor believes that market conditions warrant, the
Emerging Markets Portfolio may adopt a temporary defensive position and may
invest without limit in high-quality money market securities denominated in U.S.
dollars or in the currency of any foreign country. See "Investment Techniques --
Temporary Investments."
INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
Temporary Investments. As determined by the Sub-Advisor, when market
conditions warrant, the Emerging Markets Portfolio may invest up to 100% of its
total assets in the following high-quality (that is, rated Prime-1 by Moody's or
-8-
<PAGE>
A or better by S&P or, if unrated, of comparable quality as determined by the
Sub-Advisor) money market securities, denominated in U.S. dollars or in the
currency of any foreign country, issued by entities organized in the United
States or any foreign country: short-term (less than twelve months to maturity)
and medium-term (not greater than five years to maturity) obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or the governments of foreign countries, their
agencies or instrumentalities; finance company and corporate commercial paper,
and other short-term corporate obligations; obligations (including certificates
of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances) of banks; and repurchase
agreements with banks and broker-dealers with respect to such securities. The
Emerging Markets Portfolio also may purchase shares of closed-end investment
companies which invest chiefly in the shares of companies located outside the
U.S. (such shares will be purchased by the Emerging Markets Portfolio within the
limits prescribed by the 1940 Act).
Repurchase Agreements. Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase
agreements with qualified brokers, dealers, banks and other financial
institutions deemed creditworthy by its Advisor or Sub-Advisor. Under normal
circumstances, however, a Portfolio will not enter into repurchase agreements if
entering into such agreements would cause, at the time of entering into such
agreements, more than 20% of the value of its total assets to be subject to
repurchase agreements. A Portfolio would generally enter into repurchase
transactions to invest cash reserves and for temporary defensive purposes.
In a repurchase agreement, a Portfolio purchases a security and
simultaneously commits to resell that security at a future date to the seller (a
qualified bank or securities dealer) at an agreed upon price plus an agreed upon
market rate of interest (itself unrelated to the coupon rate or date of maturity
of the purchased security). The securities held subject to a repurchase
agreement may have stated maturities exceeding 13 months, but the Advisor or
SubAdvisor currently expects that repurchase agreements will mature in less than
13 months. The seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain
the value of the securities subject to the agreement at not less than 101% of
the repurchase price including accrued interest. Glenmede Fund's administrator
and the Advisor or Sub-Advisor will mark to market daily the value of the
securities purchased, and the Advisor or Sub-Advisor will, if necessary, require
the seller to deposit additional securities to ensure that the value is in
compliance with the 101% requirement stated above. The Advisor or Sub-Advisor
will consider the creditworthiness of a seller in determining whether a
Portfolio should enter into a repurchase agreement, and a Portfolio will only
enter into repurchase agreements with banks and dealers which are determined to
present minimal credit risk by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor under procedures
adopted by the Board of Directors.
In effect, by entering into a repurchase agreement, a Portfolio is
lending its funds to the seller at the agreed upon interest rate and receiving
securities as collateral for the loan. Such agreements can be entered into for
periods of one day (overnight repo) or for a fixed term (term repo). Repurchase
agreements are a common way to earn interest income on short-term funds.
The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For example,
if the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase
the underlying securities at a time when the value of these securities has
declined, a Portfolio may incur a loss upon disposition of them. Default by the
seller would also expose a Portfolio to possible loss because of delays in
connection with the disposition of the underlying obligations. If the seller of
an agreement becomes insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization
under the Bankruptcy Code or other laws, a bankruptcy court may determine that
the underlying securities are collateral not within the control of a Portfolio
and therefore subject to sale by the trustee in bankruptcy. Further, it is
possible that a Portfolio may not be able to substantiate its interest in the
underlying securities.
-9-
<PAGE>
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Emerging Markets Portfolio may enter
into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the
Portfolio sells a security and simultaneously commits to repurchase that
security at a future date from the buyer. In effect, the Portfolio is
temporarily borrowing funds at an agreed upon interest rate from the purchaser
of the security, and the sale of the security represents collateral for the
loan. The Portfolio retains record ownership of the security and the right to
receive interest and principal payments on the security. At an agreed upon
future date, the Portfolio repurchases the security by remitting the proceeds
previously received, plus interest. In certain types of agreements, there is no
agreed upon repurchase date and interest payments are calculated daily, often
based on the prevailing overnight repurchase rate. These agreements, which are
treated as if reestablished each day, are expected to provide the Emerging
Markets Portfolio with a flexible borrowing tool. Reverse repurchase agreements
are considered to be borrowings by a Portfolio under the 1940 Act.
The Portfolio's investment of the proceeds of a reverse repurchase
agreement is the speculative factor known as leverage. The Portfolio may enter
into a reverse repurchase agreement only if the interest income from investment
of the proceeds is greater than the interest expense of the transaction and the
proceeds are invested for a period no longer than the term of the agreement. The
Portfolio will maintain with the custodian a separate account with a segregated
portfolio of liquid securities at least equal to its purchase obligations under
these agreements. The Sub-Advisor will consider the creditworthiness of the
other party in determining whether a Portfolio will enter into a reverse
repurchase agreement.
Under normal circumstances the Portfolio will not enter into reverse
repurchase agreements if entering into such agreements would cause, at the time
of entering into such agreements, more than 10% of the value of its total assets
to be subject to such agreements.
The use of reverse repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For
example, the other party to the agreement may default on its obligation or
become insolvent and unable to deliver the securities to the Portfolio at a time
when the value of the securities has increased. Reverse repurchase agreements
also involve the risk that the Portfolio may not be able to substantiate its
interest in the underlying securities.
Lending of Securities. Each Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities
with a value up to one-third of its total assets to qualified brokers, dealers,
banks and other financial institutions for the purpose of realizing additional
net investment income through the receipt of interest on the loan. Such loans
would involve risks of delay in receiving additional collateral in the event the
value of the collateral decreased below the value of the securities loaned or of
delay in recovering the securities loaned or even loss of rights in the
collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be
made only to borrowers deemed by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor to be of good
standing.
"When Issued," "Delayed Settlement," and "Forward Delivery" Securities.
Each Portfolio may purchase and sell securities on a "when issued," "delayed
settlement" or "forward delivery" basis. "When issued" or "forward delivery"
refer to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a
market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. When issued
or forward delivery transactions may be expected to occur one month or more
before delivery is due. Delayed settlement is a term used to describe settlement
of a securities transaction in the secondary market which will occur sometime in
the future. No payment or delivery is made by a Portfolio in a when issued,
delayed settlement or forward delivery transaction until the Portfolio receives
payment or delivery from the other party to the transaction. A Portfolio will
maintain a separate account of cash, U.S. Government securities or other high
-10-
<PAGE>
grade debt obligations at least equal to the value of purchase commitments until
payment is made. Such segregated securities will either mature or, if necessary,
be sold on or before the settlement date. Although a Portfolio receives no
income from the above described securities prior to delivery, the market value
of such securities is still subject to change.
A Portfolio will engage in when issued transactions to obtain what is
considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction.
When a Portfolio engages in when issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery
transactions, it will do so for the purpose of acquiring securities consistent
with its investment objective and policies and not for the purposes of
speculation. A Portfolio's when issued, delayed settlement and forward delivery
commitments are not expected to exceed 25% of its total assets absent unusual
market circumstances, and a Portfolio will only sell securities on such a basis
to offset securities purchased on such a basis.
Borrowing. Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a "when issued,"
"delayed settlement" or "forward delivery" basis and the Emerging Markets
Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. As a temporary measure
for extraordinary or emergency purposes, each Portfolio may borrow money from
banks. However, neither Portfolio will borrow money for speculative purposes.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. Each Portfolio may enter
into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with the purchase
and sale of investment securities; such contracts may not be used for
speculative purposes. A forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an
obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may
be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the
parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts may be
bought or sold to protect a Portfolio, to some degree, against a possible loss
resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between foreign currencies
and the U.S. dollar. It should be realized that this method of protecting the
value of a Portfolio's investment securities against a decline in the value of a
currency does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the
securities. It simply establishes a rate of exchange at some future point in
time. Additionally, although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss
due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they tend
to limit any potential gain which might result should the value of such currency
increase.
Depositary Receipts. The Emerging Markets Portfolio may purchase
sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, EDRs and GDRs (collectively, "Depositary
Receipts") and the Institutional International Portfolio may purchase sponsored
or unsponsored ADRs. ADRs are Depositary Receipts typically issued by a U.S.
bank or trust company which evidence ownership of underlying securities issued
by a foreign corporation. EDRs and GDRs are typically issued by foreign banks or
trust companies, although they also may be issued by U.S. banks or trust
companies, and evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by either a
foreign or a United States corporation. Generally, Depositary Receipts in
registered form are designed for use in the U.S. securities market and
Depositary Receipts in bearer form are designed for use in securities markets
outside the United States. Depositary Receipts may not necessarily be
denominated in the same currency as the underlying securities into which they
may be converted. Depositary Receipts may be issued pursuant to sponsored or
unsponsored programs. In sponsored programs, an issuer has made arrangements to
have its securities traded in the form of Depositary Receipts. In unsponsored
programs, the issuer may not be directly involved in the creation of the
program. Although regulatory requirements with respect to sponsored and
unsponsored programs are generally similar, in some cases it may be easier to
obtain financial information from an issuer that has participated in the
creation of a sponsored program. Accordingly, there may be less information
available regarding issuers of securities underlying unsponsored programs and
there may not be a correlation between such information and the market value of
the Depositary Receipts. Depositary Receipts also involve the risks of other
-11-
<PAGE>
investments in foreign securities, as discussed below. For purposes of a
Portfolio's investment policies, a Portfolio's investments in Depositary
Receipts will be deemed to be investments in the underlying securities.
Illiquid Securities. The Institutional International Portfolio will not
invest more than 10% of net assets and the Emerging Markets Portfolio will not
invest more than 15% of net assets in securities that are illiquid. Illiquid
securities are difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
Unless specified above and except as described under "Investment
Limitations," the foregoing investment policies are not fundamental and the
Board may change such policies without shareholder approval.
RISK FACTORS
Shareholders should understand that all investments involve risk and
there can be no guarantee against loss resulting from an investment in a
Portfolio, nor can there be any assurance that a Portfolio's investment
objective will be attained. As with any investment in securities, the value of,
and income from, an investment in a Portfolio can decrease as well as increase,
depending on a variety of factors which may affect the values and income
generated by the Portfolio's securities, including general economic conditions,
market factors and currency exchange rates. An investment in the Emerging
Markets Portfolio or the Institutional International Portfolio is not intended
as a complete investment program.
Foreign Securities. Each Portfolio has the right to purchase securities
in any foreign country, developed or underdeveloped. Investors should consider
carefully the substantial risks involved in investing in securities issued by
companies and governments of foreign nations, which are in addition to the usual
risks inherent in domestic investments. Investors should recognize that
investing in the securities of foreign companies involve special risks and
considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These
risks and considerations include differences in accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards, generally higher commission rates on foreign
portfolio transactions, the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory
taxation, adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations,
political instability which could affect U.S. investment in foreign countries
and potential restrictions on the flow of international capital. Moreover, the
dividends payable on a Portfolio's foreign portfolio securities may be subject
to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing the net amount of income available
for distribution to the Portfolio's shareholders. Further, foreign securities
often trade with less frequency and volume than domestic securities and,
therefore, may exhibit greater price volatility. Also, changes in foreign
exchange rates will affect, favorably or unfavorably, the value of those
securities in a Portfolio which are denominated or quoted in currencies other
than the U.S. dollar. In addition, in many countries there is less publicly
available information about issuers than is available in reports about companies
in the United States. Foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, and auditing practices
and requirements may not be comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.
Further, a Portfolio may encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal
remedies and obtain judgments in foreign courts.
These risks are often heightened for investments in developing or
emerging markets, including certain Eastern European countries where the risks
include the possibility that such countries may revert to a centrally planned
economy. Developing countries may also impose restrictions on a Portfolio's
ability to repatriate investment income or capital. Even where there is no
outright restriction on repatriation of investment income or capital, the
mechanics of repatriation may affect certain aspects of the operations of a
Portfolio. For example, funds may be withdrawn from the People's Republic of
-12-
<PAGE>
China only in U.S. or Hong Kong dollars and only at an exchange rate established
by the government once each week.
Some of the currencies in emerging markets have experienced
devaluations relative to the U.S. dollar, and major adjustments have been made
periodically in certain of such currencies. Certain developing countries face
serious exchange constraints.
Lastly, governments of some developing countries exercise substantial
influence over many aspects of the private sector. In some countries, the
government owns or controls many companies, including the largest in the
country. As such, government actions in the future could have a significant
effect on economic conditions in developing countries in these regions, which
could affect private sector companies, the Portfolio and the value of its
securities. Furthermore, certain developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. Trading in debt obligations
issued or guaranteed by such governments or their agencies and instrumentalities
involves a high degree of risk.
Brokerage commissions, custodial services, and other costs relating to
investment in foreign securities markets are generally more expensive than in
the United States. Foreign securities markets also have different clearance and
settlement procedures, and in certain markets there have been times when
settlements have been unable to keep pace with the volume of securities
transactions, making it difficult to conduct such transactions. Delays in
settlement could result in temporary periods when assets of a Portfolio are
uninvested and no return is earned thereon. The inability of a Portfolio to make
intended security purchases due to settlement problems could cause the Portfolio
to miss attractive investment opportunities. Inability to dispose of portfolio
securities due to settlement problems could result either in losses to the
Portfolio due to subsequent declines in value of the portfolio security or, if
the Portfolio has entered into a contract to sell the security, could result in
possible liability to the purchaser.
In many emerging markets, there is less government supervision and
regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers and
listed companies than in the United States. The foreign securities markets of
many of the countries in which the Emerging Markets Portfolio may invest may
also be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility than those
in the United States.
There are further risk factors, including possible losses through the
holding of securities in domestic and foreign custodian banks and depositories.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Shares of each Portfolio are sold without a sales commission on a
continuous basis to the Advisor acting on behalf of its clients ("Clients") and
to other institutions (the "Institutions"), at the net asset value per share
next determined after receipt of the purchase order by Glenmede Fund's
transfer agent. See "Valuation of Shares." The minimum initial investment for
each Portfolio is $25,000; the minimum for subsequent investments for each
Portfolio is $1,000. Glenmede Fund reserves the right to reduce or waive the
minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements from time to time.
Beneficial ownership of shares will be reflected on books maintained by the
Advisor or the Institutions. A prospective investor wishing to purchase shares
in Glenmede Fund should contact the Advisor or his or her Institution.
-13-
<PAGE>
It is the Advisor's responsibility to transmit orders for share
purchases to Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICC"), Glenmede Fund's
transfer agent, and deliver required funds to Glenmede Fund's custodian, on a
timely basis.
Glenmede Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend
the offering of shares of the Portfolios or reject purchase orders when, in the
judgment of management, such suspension or rejection is in the best interests of
Glenmede Fund.
Purchases of a Portfolio's shares will be made in full and fractional
shares of a Portfolio calculated to three decimal places. In the interest of
economy and convenience, certificates for shares will not be issued except upon
the written request of the shareholder. Certificates for fractional shares,
however, will not be issued.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of each Portfolio may be redeemed at any time, without cost, at
the net asset value of the Portfolio next determined after receipt of the
redemption request by the transfer agent. Generally, a properly signed written
request is all that is required. Any redemption may be more or less than the
purchase price of the shares depending on the market value of the investment
securities held by a Portfolio. An investor wishing to redeem shares should
contact the Advisor or his or her Institution. It is the responsibility of the
Advisor to transmit promptly redemption orders to the transfer agent.
Payment of the redemption proceeds will ordinarily be made within one
business day, but in no event more than seven days, after receipt of the order
in proper form by the transfer agent. Redemption orders are effected at net
asset value per share next determined after receipt of the order in proper form
by the transfer agent. Glenmede Fund may suspend the right of redemption or
postpone the date of payment at times when the New York Stock Exchange (the
"Exchange") is closed, or under any emergency circumstances as determined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). See "Valuation of Shares"
for the days on which the Exchange is closed.
If Glenmede Fund's Board determines that it would be detrimental to
the best interests of the remaining shareholders of a Portfolio to make payment
wholly or partly in cash, Glenmede Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in
whole or in part by a distribution in-kind of securities held by a Portfolio in
lieu of cash in conformity with applicable rules of the Commission. Investors
may incur brokerage charges on the sale of portfolio securities received as a
redemption in kind.
Glenmede Fund reserves the right, upon 30 days' written notice, to
redeem an account in a Portfolio if the net asset value of the account's shares
falls below $100 and is not increased to at least such amount within such 30-day
period.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The net asset value of each Portfolio is determined by dividing the
total market value of its investments and other assets, less any of its
liabilities, by the total outstanding shares of the Portfolio. Each Portfolio's
net asset value per share is determined as of the close of regular trading hours
of the Exchange on each day that the Exchange is open for business and the
Portfolio receives an order to purchase or redeem its shares. Currently the
Exchange is closed on weekends and the customary national business holidays of
New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day (or the days on which they are
observed). One or more pricing services may be used to provide securities
-14-
<PAGE>
valuations in connection with the determination of the net asset value of each
Portfolio.
Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market
quotations are available are valued at the last quoted sale price as of the
close of the exchange's regular trading hours on the day the valuation is made.
Securities listed on a foreign exchange and unlisted foreign securities are
valued at the latest quoted sales price available before the time when assets
are valued. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange
where the security is primarily traded. Unlisted U.S. equity securities and
listed securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations
are readily available are valued not in excess of the asked prices or less than
the bid prices. The value of securities for which no quotations are readily
available (including restricted securities) is determined in good faith at fair
value using methods determined by the Board. Foreign currency amounts are
translated into U.S. dollars at the bid prices of such currencies against U.S.
dollars last quoted by a major bank.
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS
The Portfolios normally distribute substantially all of their net
investment income to shareholders in the form of a quarterly dividend. If any
net capital gains are realized, the Portfolios normally distribute such gains
at least once a year. However, see "Dividends, Capital Gains Distributions and
Taxes-Federal Taxes-Miscellaneous," for a discussion of the Federal excise tax
applicable to certain regulated investment companies.
Undistributed net investment income is included in each Portfolio's net
assets for the purpose of calculating net asset value per share. Therefore, on a
Portfolio's "ex-dividend" date, the net asset value per share excludes the
dividend (i.e., is reduced by the per share amount of the dividend). Dividends
paid shortly after the purchase of shares of a Portfolio by an investor,
although in effect a return of capital, are taxable to the investor.
FEDERAL TAXES
Each Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company"
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Such
qualification generally relieves a Portfolio of liability for Federal income
taxes to the extent its earnings are distributed in accordance with the Code.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that a Portfolio distribute to its
shareholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its investment company taxable
income and 90% of its net exempt interest income (if any) for such taxable year.
In general, a Portfolio's investment company taxable income will be its net
investment income, including interest and dividends, subject to certain
adjustments, and net short-term capital gains excluding the excess of any net
long-term capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term capital
loss, if any, for such year. Each Portfolio intends to distribute as dividends
substantially all of its investment company taxable income each year. Such
dividends will be taxable as ordinary income to each Portfolio's shareholders
who are not currently exempt from Federal income taxes, whether such income or
gain is received in cash or reinvested in additional shares. The dividends
received deduction for corporations will apply to such ordinary income
distributions to the extent the total qualifying dividends received by a
Portfolio are from domestic corporations for the taxable year. It is anticipated
that only a small part (if any) of the dividends paid by the Portfolios will be
eligible for the dividends received deduction.
-15-
<PAGE>
Substantially all of each Portfolio's net realized long-term capital
gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually to its shareholders. A
Portfolio generally will have no tax liability with respect to such gains and
the distributions will be taxable to the shareholders who are not currently
exempt from Federal income taxes as long-term capital gains, regardless of how
long the shareholders have held the shares and whether such gains are received
in cash or reinvested in additional shares.
A shareholder considering buying shares of a Portfolio on or just
before the record date of a dividend should be aware that the amount of the
forthcoming dividend payment, although in effect a return of capital, will be
taxable.
A taxable gain or loss may be realized by a shareholder upon his
redemption or transfer of shares of a Portfolio, depending upon the tax basis of
such shares and their price at the time of redemption or transfer.
It is expected that dividends and certain interest income earned by the
Portfolios from foreign securities will be subject to foreign withholding taxes
or other taxes. So long as more than 50% of the value of a Portfolio's total
assets at the close of any taxable year consists of stock or securities of
foreign corporations, the Portfolio may elect, for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes, to treat certain foreign taxes paid by it, including generally any
withholding taxes and other foreign income taxes, as paid by its shareholders.
If a Portfolio makes this election, the amount of such foreign taxes paid by the
Portfolio will be included in its shareholders' income pro rata (in addition to
taxable distributions actually received by them), and each shareholder will be
entitled (a) to credit his proportionate amount of such taxes against his U.S.
Federal income tax liabilities, or (b) if he itemizes his deductions, to deduct
such proportionate amount from his U.S. income.
Miscellaneous. Dividends declared in October, November or December of
any year payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such months
will be deemed to have been received by the shareholders and paid by a Portfolio
on December 31, in the event such dividends are paid during January of the
following year.
A 4% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on regulated investment
companies that fail to currently distribute specified percentages of their
ordinary taxable income and net capital gain (excess of capital gains over
capital losses). Each Portfolio intends to make sufficient distributions or
deemed distributions of its ordinary taxable income and any net capital gain
prior to the end of each calendar year to avoid liability for this excise tax.
The foregoing summarizes some of the important tax considerations
generally affecting the Portfolios and their shareholders and is not intended as
a substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors in the
Portfolios should consult their tax advisers with specific reference to their
own tax situation.
The foregoing discussion of tax consequences is based on tax laws and
regulations in effect on the date of this Prospectus, which are subject to
change by legislative or administrative action.
Shareholders will be advised at least annually as to the federal income
tax consequences of distributions made each year.
Each Portfolio will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit
to the United States Treasury 31% of taxable dividends or gross proceeds
realized upon sale paid to shareholders who have failed to provide a correct tax
identification number in the manner required, who are subject to withholding by
the IRS for failure properly to include on their return payments of taxable
interest or dividends, or who have failed to certify to the Portfolio that they
-16-
<PAGE>
are not subject to backup withholding when required to do so or that they are
"exempt recipients."
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
Shareholders may also be subject to state and local taxes on
distributions from Glenmede Fund. A shareholder should consult with his tax
adviser with respect to the tax status of distributions from Glenmede Fund in
a particular state and locality.
Glenmede Fund has obtained a Certificate of Authority to do business
as a foreign corporation in Pennsylvania, and currently does business in that
state. Accordingly, the shares of the Portfolio will be exempt from Pennsylvania
Personal Property Taxes.
INVESTMENT ADVISOR
The Advisor, a limited purpose trust company chartered in 1956,
provides fiduciary and investment services to endowment funds, foundations,
employee benefit plans and other institutions and individuals. The Advisor is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Glenmede Corporation and is located at One
Liberty Place, 1650 Market Street, Suite 1200, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
At November 30, 1995, the Advisor had over $8 billion in assets in the
accounts for which it serves in various capacities including as executor,
trustee or investment advisor.
Under separate Investment Advisory Agreements (each, an "Investment
Advisory Agreement") with Glenmede Fund with respect to the Institutional
International Portfolio and the Emerging Markets Portfolio, the Advisor or
SubAdvisor, respectively, subject to the control and supervision of Glenmede
Fund's Board and in conformance with the stated investment objective and
policies of each Portfolio, manages the investment and reinvestment of the
assets of the respective Portfolio. It is the responsibility of the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor to make investment decisions for the Institutional International
Portfolio and Emerging Markets Portfolio, respectively, and to place each
Portfolio's purchase and sales orders.
INSTITUTIONAL INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
The Advisor is entitled to receive a fee from the Institutional
International Portfolio for its investment services computed daily and payable
monthly, at the annual rate of .75% of the Institutional International
Portfolio's average daily net assets. Although the advisory fee rate payable by
the Institutional International Portfolio is higher than the rates paid by most
mutual funds, Glenmede Fund's Board of Directors believes it is comparable to
the rates paid by other similar funds. The Advisor has agreed to waive its fees
to the extent necessary to ensure that the Institutional International
Portfolio's annual total operating expenses do not exceed 1.00% of the
Institutional International Portfolio's average net assets. For the fiscal year
ended October 31, 1995, the Advisor received a fee at a rate of ____% of the
Institutional International Portfolio's average net assets.
Andrew Williams, portfolio manager for the Institutional International
Portfolio, has been primarily responsible for its management since that
Portfolio commenced operations. Mr. Williams has been employed by the Advisor
since May 1985. Before joining the Advisor, he was a vice president in
investment research at Shearson Lehman Brothers.
-17-
<PAGE>
EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO
The Advisor is entitled to receive a fee from the Emerging Markets
Portfolio for its investment services computed daily and payable monthly at the
annual rate of .50% of the Emerging Markets Portfolio's average daily net
assets. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement relating to the Emerging
Markets Portfolio, the Advisor may select a person to act as sub-advisor to the
Portfolio. The Advisor and Glenmede Fund, on behalf of the Emerging Markets
Portfolio, have entered into a sub-investment advisory agreement with Pictet
International Management Limited, located at Cutlers Gardens, 5 Devonshire
Square, London, United Kingdom EC2M 4LD. The Sub-Advisor performs sub-advisory
and portfolio transaction services for the Portfolio, including managing the
Portfolio's holdings in accordance with the Portfolio's investment objective and
policies, making investment decisions concerning foreign assets for the
Portfolio, placing purchase and sale orders for portfolio transactions and
employing professional portfolio managers and security analysts who provide
research services to the Emerging Markets Portfolio. The Sub-Advisor is entitled
to receive from the Emerging Markets Portfolio for its investment services a
fee, computed daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of .75% of the
Emerging Markets Portfolio's average daily net assets. The aggregate fees paid
to the Emerging Markets Portfolio's Advisor and Sub-Advisor are higher than
advisory fees paid by most other U.S. investment companies. Glenmede Fund's
Board believes such fees are comparable to the rates paid by other similar
funds. For the period December 14, 1994 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1995, the Advisor received a fee of ___% (annualized) of the
Emerging Markets Portfolio's average net assets and the Sub-Advisor received a
fee at the rate of ___% (annualized) of the Emerging Markets Portfolio's average
net assets.
The Sub-Advisor is an affiliate of Pictet & Cie (the "Bank"), a Swiss
private bank, which was founded in 1805. As of November 30, 1995, the Bank
managed in excess of $40 billion for institutional and private clients. The Bank
is owned by seven partners. The Sub-Advisor was established in 1980 to manage
the investment needs of clients seeking to invest in the international fixed
revenue and equity markets. The Sub-Advisor and its affiliates presently manage
over $3.5 billion for 70 accounts.
Douglas Polunin, Senior Investment Manager at the Sub-Advisor, has
been the portfolio manager primarily responsible for the management of the
Emerging Markets Portfolio since its inception. Mr. Polunin has been employed
by the Sub-Advisor since January 1989. Prior to his employment with the
Sub-Advisor, Mr. Polunin had been with Union Bank of Switzerland since 1982.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TRANSFER AGENCY AND DIVIDEND PAYING SERVICES
ICC serves as Glenmede Fund's administrator , transfer agent and
dividend paying agent pursuant to a Master Services Agreement and in those
capacities supervises all aspects of Glenmede Fund's day-to-day operations,
other than the management of Glenmede Fund's investments. ICC is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated ("Alex. Brown"). For
its services as administrator, transfer agent and dividend paying agent, ICC is
entitled to receive fees from Glenmede Fund equal to .12% of the first $100
million of the combined net assets of Glenmede Fund and The Glenmede
Portfolios, an investment company with the same officers, Board and service
providers as Glenmede Fund (collectively, the "Funds"); .08% of the next
$150 million of the combined net assets of the Funds; .04% of the next $500
million of the combined net assets of the Funds and .03% of the combined net
assets of the Funds over $750 million. For the period July 1, 1995 to October
31, 1995, ICC received fees at the rate of _____% (annualized) of the
Institutional International Portfolio's average net assets and _____%
(annualized) of the Emerging Markets Portfolio's average net assets. For the
period November 1, 1994 to June 30, 1995, Glenmede Fund's previous administrator
received fees at the rate of ____% (annualized) of the Institutional
-18-
<PAGE>
International Portfolio's average net assets. For the period December 14, 1994
(commencement of operations) to June 30, 1995, Glenmede Fund's previous
administrator received fees at the rate of ____% (annualized) of the Emerging
Markets Portfolio's average net assets.
EXPENSES
Glenmede Fund bears its own expenses incurred in its operations
including: taxes; interest; miscellaneous fees (including fees paid to Board
members); Securities and Exchange Commission fees; costs of preparing and
printing prospectuses for regulatory purposes and for distribution to existing
shareholders; administration fees; charges of the custodian, dividend agent
fees; certain insurance premiums; outside auditing and legal expenses; costs of
shareholders' reports and meetings; and any extraordinary expenses. Each
Portfolio also pays for brokerage fees and commissions, if any, in connection
with the purchase and sale of its portfolio securities. See "Financial
Highlights."
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Each Portfolio will not:
(a) With respect to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5%
of its total assets at the time of purchase in the securities
of any single issuer (other than obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, enterprises
or instrumentalities);
(b) Purchase more than 10% of any class of the outstanding voting
securities of any issuer;
(c) Acquire any securities of companies within one industry if, as
a result of such acquisition, more than 25% of the value of
its total assets would be invested in securities of companies
within such industry; provided, however, that there shall be
no limitation on the purchase of obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, enterprises
or instrumentalities;
(d) Pledge, mortgage, or hypothecate any of its assets to an
extent greater than 10% of the Institutional International
Portfolio's total assets or 15% of the Emerging Markets
Portfolio's total assets, each at fair market value, except as
described in this Prospectus and the SAI and in connection
with entering into futures contracts, but the deposit of
assets in a segregated account in connection with the writing
of covered put and call options and the purchase of securities
on a when issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery basis
and collateral arrangements with respect to initial or
variation margin for futures contracts will not be deemed to
be pledges of a Portfolio's assets or the purchase of any
securities on margin for purposes of this investment
limitation;
(e) Issue senior securities, except that a Portfolio may borrow
money in accordance with investment limitation (f), purchase
securities on a when issued, delayed settlement or forward
delivery basis and enter into reverse repurchase agreements;
and
(f) Borrow money, except that each Portfolio may borrow money as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, and
then not in excess of 10% of its total assets at the time of
borrowing (entering into reverse repurchase agreements and
purchasing securities on a when issued, delayed settlement or
forward delivery basis are not subject to this investment
limitation).
-19-
<PAGE>
If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time an investment is
made, a later increase in percentage resulting from a change in value of assets
will not constitute a violation of such restriction. If a Portfolio's borrowings
are in excess of 5% (excluding overdrafts) of its total net assets, additional
portfolio purchases will not be made until the amount of such borrowing is
reduced to 5% or less. A Portfolio's borrowings including reverse repurchase
agreements and securities purchased on a when-issued, delayed settlement or
forward delivery basis may not exceed 33 1/3% of its total net assets.
The investment limitations described here and in the SAI are
fundamental policies and may be changed only with the approval of the holders of
a majority of the outstanding shares (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the
affected Portfolio. In order to permit the sale of shares in certain states,
Glenmede Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the investment policies
and limitations described in this Prospectus and the SAI. Should Glenmede Fund
determine that any such commitment is no longer in the best interest of
Glenmede Fund, it will revoke the commitment by terminating sales of its shares
in the state involved.
GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
Glenmede Fund was organized as a Maryland corporation on June 30,
1988. Glenmede Fund's Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board members to
issue 2,500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a $.001 par value. The Board
has the power to designate one or more classes ("Portfolios") of shares of
common stock and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares with respect to
such Portfolios. Currently, Glenmede Fund is offering shares of ten
Portfolios.
The shares of each Portfolio have no preference as to conversion,
exchange, dividends, retirement or other rights, and, when issued and paid for
as provided in this Prospectus, will be fully paid and non-assessable. The
shares of each Portfolio have no pre-emptive rights and do not have cumulative
voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares of
Glenmede Fund voting for the election of its Board members can elect 100% of the
Board of Glenmede Fund if they choose to do so. A shareholder is entitled to
one vote for each full share held (and a fractional vote for each fractional
share held), then standing in his or her name on the books of Glenmede Fund.
Glenmede Fund will not hold annual meetings of shareholders except as required
by the 1940 Act, the next sentence and other applicable law. Glenmede Fund has
undertaken that its Board will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of
voting upon the question of removal of a Board member or members if such a
meeting is requested in writing by the holders of not less than 10% of the
outstanding shares of Glenmede Fund. To the extent required by the
undertaking, Glenmede Fund will assist shareholder communication in such
matters.
At November 30, 1995, the Advisor was the record owner substantially
all of Glenmede Fund's outstanding shares.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The following policies supplement the investment objectives and
policies set forth in Glenmede Fund's Prospectus:
Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements that do not provide for payment to a Portfolio
within seven days after notice without taking a reduced price are considered
illiquid securities.
<PAGE>
Securities Lending
Each Portfolio may lend its investment securities to qualified
institutional investors who need to borrow securities in order to complete
certain transactions, such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver
securities or completing arbitrage operations. By lending its investment
securities, a Portfolio attempts to increase its income through the receipt of
interest on the loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities
loaned that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of
the Portfolio. A Portfolio may lend its investment securities to qualified
brokers, dealers, domestic and foreign banks or other financial institutions, so
long as the terms, the structure and the aggregate amount of such loans are not
inconsistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") or the
rules and regulations or interpretations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") thereunder. All relevant facts and circumstances,
including the creditworthiness of the broker, dealer or institution, will be
considered by the Advisor in making decisions with respect to the lending of
securities, subject to review by Glenmede Fund's Board.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
The purchase price of shares of each Portfolio is the net asset value
next determined after receipt of the purchase order by the particular Portfolio.
Each Portfolio reserves the right in its sole discretion (i) to suspend
the offering of its shares, (ii) to reject purchase orders when in the judgment
of management such rejection is in the best interest of the Portfolio, and (iii)
to reduce or waive the minimum for initial and subsequent investments from time
to time.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Each Portfolio may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date
of payment (i) during any period that the New York Stock Exchange (the
"Exchange") is closed, or trading on the Exchange is restricted as determined by
the Commission, (ii) during any period when an emergency exists as defined by
the rules of the Commission as a result of which it is not reasonably
practicable for a Portfolio to dispose of securities owned by it, or fairly to
determine the value of its assets, and (iii) for such other periods as the
Commission may permit.
No charge is made by a Portfolio for redemptions. Any redemption may be
more or less than the shareholder's initial cost depending on the market value
of the securities held by the Portfolio.
<PAGE>
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
Transfer of Shares. Shareholders may transfer shares of the
Portfolios to another person. An investor wishing to transfer shares should
contact the Advisor.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
A high portfolio turnover rate can result in corresponding increases
in brokerage commissions; however, the Advisor, and Sub-Advisor with respect to
the Emerging Markets Portfolio, will not consider portfolio turnover rate a
limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with that Portfolio's
investment objectives and policies. The portfolio turnover rates of the
Institutional International Portfolio for the fiscal years ended October 31,
1995 and 1994 were ____% and 39%, respectively. The portfolio turnover rate of
the Emerging Markets Portfolio for the period December 14, 1994 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1995 was ____% (annualized).
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Each Portfolio is subject to the following restrictions which are
fundamental policies and may not be changed without the approval of the lesser
of: (1) 67% of the voting securities of the Portfolio present at a meeting if
the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the
Portfolio are present or represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. Each Portfolio will not:
(1) invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except
that each Portfolio may invest in futures contracts and
options;
(2) purchase or sell real estate, although it may purchase and
sell securities of companies which deal in real estate and may
purchase and sell securities which are secured by interests in
real estate;
(3) make loans, except (i) by purchasing bonds, debentures
or similar obligations (including repurchase
agreements, subject to the limitation described in
investment limitation (10) below, and money market
instruments, including bankers acceptances and
commercial paper, and selling securities on a when
issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery basis)
which are publicly or privately distributed, and (ii)
by lending its portfolio securities to banks, brokers,
dealers and other financial institutions so long as
such loans are not inconsistent with the 1940 Act or
<PAGE>
the rules and regulations or interpretations of the
Commission thereunder;
(4) purchase on margin or sell short, except as specified
above in investment limitation (1);
(5) purchase more than 10% of any class of the outstanding
voting securities of any issuer;
(6) with respect as to 75% of its total assets, invest more than
5% of its total assets at the time of purchase in the
securities of any single issuer (other than obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies,
enterprises or instrumentalities);
(7) issue senior securities, except that each Portfolio may borrow
money in accordance with investment limitation (8) below,
purchase securities on a when issued, delayed settlement or
forward delivery basis and enter into reverse repurchase
agreements;
(8) borrow money, except that each Portfolio may borrow
money as a temporary measure for extraordinary or
emergency purposes, and then not in excess of 10% of
its total assets at the time of the borrowing (entering
into reverse repurchase agreements and purchasing
securities on a when issued, delayed settlement or
forward delivery basis are not subject to this
investment limitation);
(9) pledge, mortgage, or hypothecate any of its assets to
an extent greater than 10% of its total assets at fair
market value in the case of the Institutional
International Portfolio and 15% in the case of the
Emerging Markets Portfolio, except as described in the
Prospectus and this SAI and in connection with entering
into futures contracts, but the deposit of assets in a
segregated account in connection with the writing of
covered put and call options and the purchase of
securities on a when issued, delayed settlement or
forward delivery basis and collateral arrangements with
respect to initial or variation margin for futures
contracts will not be deemed to be pledges of a
Portfolio's assets or the purchase of any securities on
margin for purposes of this investment limitation;
(10) underwrite the securities of other issuers or invest more than
an aggregate of 10% of the total assets of the Institutional
International Portfolio or 15% of the total assets of the
Emerging Markets Portfolio, at the time of purchase, in
securities for which there are no readily available markets,
<PAGE>
including repurchase agreements which have maturities of more
than seven days or, in the case of Institutional International
Portfolio, securities subject to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale;
(11) invest for the purpose of exercising control over
management of any company;
(12) invest its assets in securities of any investment company,
except in connection with mergers, acquisitions of assets or
consolidations and except as may otherwise be permitted by the
1940 Act;
(13) acquire any securities of companies within one industry
if, as a result of such acquisition, more than 25% of
the value of the Portfolio's total assets would be
invested in securities of companies within such
industry; provided, however, that there shall be no
limitation on the purchase of obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies,
enterprises or instrumentalities, or instruments issued
by U.S. banks; and
(14) write or acquire options or interests in oil, gas or
other mineral exploration or development programs.
If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time an investment is
made, a later increase in percentage resulting from a change in value or assets
will not constitute a violation of such restriction.
With regard to limitations (8) and (9), each Portfolio may borrow money
as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, enter into
reverse repurchase agreements and purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed
settlement or forward delivery basis, which activities may involve a borrowing,
provided that the aggregate of such borrowings shall not exceed 33 1/3% of the
value of each Portfolio's total assets (including the amount borrowed) less
liabilities (other than borrowings) and may pledge up to 33 1/3% of the value of
its total assets to secure borrowings.
With regard to limitation (12), the 1940 Act currently prohibits an
investment company from acquiring securities of another investment company if,
as a result of the transaction, the acquiring company and any company or
companies controlled by it would own in the aggregate: (i) more than 3% of the
total outstanding voting stock of the acquired company, (ii) securities issued
by the acquired company having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the value
of the total assets of the acquiring company, or (iii) securities issued by the
acquired company and all other investment companies (other than treasury stock
<PAGE>
of the acquired company) having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value
of the total assets of the acquiring company. The 1940 Act also currently
prohibits an investment company from acquiring securities of a registered
closed-end investment company, if as a result of the transaction, the acquiring
company, other investment companies having the same investment adviser, and
companies controlled by such investment companies, own more than 10% of the
total outstanding voting stock of such closed-end company. In addition to the
advisory fees and other expenses that a Portfolio bears directly in connection
with its own operations, as a shareholder of another investment company, such
Portfolio would bear its "pro rata" portion of the other investment company's
advisory fees and other expenses. Therefore, to the extent that a Portfolio is
invested in shares of other investment companies, the Portfolio's shareholders
will be subject to expenses of such other investment companies, in addition to
expenses of the Portfolio.
With regard to limitation (14), the purchase of securities of a
corporation, a subsidiary of which has an interest in oil, gas or other mineral
exploration or development programs, shall not be deemed to be prohibited by the
limitation.

from the Institutional International Portfolio for its services calculated daily
and payable monthly, at the annual rate of .75% of the Institutional
International Portfolio's average daily net assets. The Advisor has agreed to

fee from the Emerging Markets Portfolio for its services, calculated daily and
payable monthly, at the annual rate of .50% of the Emerging Markets Portfolio's
average daily net assets. As more fully described in the Prospectus, the Sub-

December 14, 1994 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 1995, the Emerging
Markets Portfolio paid the Advisor advisory fees of $________ and paid the
Sub-Advisor sub-advisory fees of $________.
Since July 1, 1995, administrative transfer agency and dividend
paying services have been provided to Glenmede Fund by ICC pursuant to a
Master Services Agreement. See "Administrative, Transfer Agency and Dividend
Paying Services" in the Prospectus for information concerning the substantive
provisions of the Master Services Agreement. For the period July 1, 1995 to
October 31, 1995, Glenmede Fund paid ICC fees of $________ for the Institutional
International Portfolio and $_________ for the Emerging Markets Portfolio.
<PAGE>
From May 6, 1994 to June 30, 1995, administrative services were
provided to Glenmede Fund by The Shareholder Services Group, Inc. ("TSSG"),
pursuant to an Administration Agreement. For the period November 1, 1994 to
June 30, 1995, Glenmede Fund paid TSSG administrative fees of $________ for the

served as Glenmede Fund's administrator. For the period November 1, 1993 to
May 5, 1994, and the fiscal year ended October 31, 1993 , Glenmede Fund paid
Boston Advisors administrative fees of $6,453 and $10,064 , respectively, for
the Institutional International Portfolio.
Custody services are provided to the Institutional International and
Emerging Markets Portfolios by The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., Brooklyn,
New York.
DISTRIBUTOR
Shares of Glenmede Fund are distributed continuously and are offered
without a sales load by Armata, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between
Glenmede Fund and Armata. Armata receives no fee from Glenmede Fund for its
distribution services.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Investment Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreement
authorize the Advisor, and the Sub-Advisor for the Emerging Markets Portfolio,
to select the brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of
investment securities for each of the Portfolios and direct the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor to use their best efforts to obtain the best available price and
most favorable execution with respect to all transactions for the Portfolios.
The Advisor or the Sub-Advisor, if any, may, however, consistent with the
interests of a Portfolio, select brokers on the basis of the research,
statistical and pricing services they provide to a Portfolio. Information and
research received from such brokers will be in addition to, and not in lieu of,
the services required to be performed by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor under the
Investment Advisory Agreements and the Sub- Advisory Agreement. A commission
paid to such brokers may be higher than that which another qualified broker
would have charged for effecting the same transaction, provided that such
commissions are paid in compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
<PAGE>
amended, and that the Advisor or Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that such
commission is reasonable in terms either of the transaction or the overall
responsibility of the Advisor or Sub-Advisor to a Portfolio and the Advisor's or
Sub-Advisor's other clients. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 199_, brokers
were selected by the Advisor and Sub-Advisor on the basis of research,
statistical and pricing services with respect to the Institutional International
and Emerging Markets Portfolios.
During the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Institutional International Portfolio paid $_________, $33,893 and $22,099 in
brokerage commissions, respectively. For the period December 14, 1994
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1995, the Emerging Markets Portfolio
paid $________ in brokerage commissions.
Because shares of the Portfolios are not marketed through
intermediary brokers or dealers, it is not Glenmede Fund's practice to
allocate brokerage or effect principal transactions with dealers on the basis of
sales of shares which may be made through such firms. However, the Advisor may
place portfolio orders with qualified broker-dealers who refer clients to the
Advisor and the other Institutions.
Some securities considered for investment by a Portfolio may also be
appropriate for other clients served by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor. If purchase
or sale of securities is consistent with the investment policies of a Portfolio
and one or more of these other clients served by the Advisor or Sub-Advisors and
is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be
allocated among the Portfolio and clients in a manner deemed fair and reasonable
by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor. While in some cases this practice could have a
detrimental effect on the price, value or quantity of the security as far as a
Portfolio is concerned, in other cases it is believed to be beneficial to the
Portfolios.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAXES
General. The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations
generally affecting the Portfolios and their shareholders that are not described
in the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the
tax treatment of the Portfolios or their shareholders, and the discussion here
and in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
Potential investors should consult their tax advisers with specific reference to
their own tax situation.
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate corporate entity under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and intends to qualify
<PAGE>
as a regulated investment company. Qualification as a regulated investment
company under the Code requires, among other things, that each Portfolio
distribute to its shareholders an amount equal to at least the sum of 90% of its
investment company taxable income and 90% of its tax-exempt income (if any) net
of certain deductions for a taxable year. In addition, each Portfolio must
satisfy certain requirements with respect to the source of its income during a
taxable year. At least 90% of the gross income of each Portfolio must be derived
from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, gains from
the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, and
other income (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures, or
forward contracts) derived with respect to the Portfolio's business of investing
in such stock, securities or currencies. The Treasury Department may by
regulation exclude from qualifying income foreign currency gains which are not
directly related to a Portfolio's principal business of investing in stock or
securities, or options and futures with respect to stock or securities. Any
income derived by a Portfolio from a partnership or trust is treated for this
purpose as derived with respect to the Portfolio's business of investing in
stock, securities or currencies only to the extent that such income is
attributable to items of income which would have been qualifying income if
realized by the Portfolio in the same manner as by the partnership or trust.
A Portfolio will not be treated as a regulated investment company under
the Code if 30% or more of its gross income for a taxable year is derived from
gains realized on the sale or other disposition of the following investments
held for less than three months: (1) stock and securities (as defined in section
2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act); (2) options, futures and forward contracts other than
those on foreign currencies; and (3) foreign currencies (and options, futures
and forward contracts on foreign currencies) that are not directly related to
the Portfolio's principal business of investing in stock and securities (and
options and futures with respect to stocks and securities). Interest (including
original issue discount and accrued market discount) received by a Portfolio
upon maturity or disposition of a security held for less than three months will
not be treated as gross income derived from the sale or other disposition of
such security within the meaning of this requirement. However, income which is
attributable to realized market appreciation will be treated as gross income
from the sale or other disposition of securities for this purpose. With respect
to covered call options, if the call is exercised by the holder, the premium and
the price received on exercise constitute the proceeds of sale, and the
difference between the proceeds and the cost of the securities subject to the
call is capital gain or loss. Premiums from expired call options written by a
Portfolio and net gains from closing purchase transactions are treated as
<PAGE>
short-term capital gains for Federal income tax purposes, and losses on closing
purchase transactions are short-term capital losses.
Any distribution of the excess of net long-term capital gain over net
short-term capital loss is taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain,
regardless of how long the shareholder has held a Portfolio's shares and whether
such distribution is received in cash or additional Portfolio shares. Each
Portfolio will designate such distributions as capital gain dividends in a
written notice mailed to shareholders within 60 days after the close of
Glenmede Fund's taxable year. Shareholders should note that, upon the sale of
Portfolio shares, if the shareholder has not held such shares for more than six
months, any loss on the sale of those shares will be treated as long-term
capital loss to the extent of the capital gain dividends received with respect
to the shares.
An individual's net capital gains are taxable at a maximum effective
rate of 28%. Ordinary income of individuals is taxable at a maximum nominal rate
of 39.6%, but because of limitations on itemized deductions otherwise allowable
and the phase-out of personal exemptions, the maximum effective marginal rate of
tax for some taxpayers may be higher. For corporations, long-term capital gains
and ordinary income are both taxable at a maximum nominal rate of 35% (although
surtax provisions apply at certain income levels to result in effective marginal
rates as high as 39%).
If the Emerging Markets Portfolio retains net capital gains for
reinvestment, the Portfolio may elect to treat such amounts as having been
distributed to shareholders. As a result, the shareholders would be subject to
tax on undistributed net capital gains, would be able to claim their
proportionate share of the Federal income taxes paid by the Portfolio on such
gains as a credit against their own Federal income tax liabilities, and would be
entitled to an increase in their basis in their Portfolio shares.
If for any taxable year a Portfolio does not qualify for the special
Federal income tax treatment afforded regulated investment companies, all of its
taxable income will be subject to Federal income tax at regular corporate rates
(without any deduction for distributions to its shareholders). In such event,
dividend distributions would be taxable as ordinary income to shareholders to
the extent of the Portfolio's current and accumulated earnings and profits and
would be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.
Foreign Taxes. Income received from sources within foreign
countries may be subject to withholding and other income or
similar taxes imposed by such countries. If more than 50% of the
value of a Portfolio's total assets at the close of its taxable
<PAGE>
year consists of stock or securities of foreign corporations, each Portfolio
will be eligible and intends to elect to "pass-through" to its shareholders the
amount of foreign taxes paid by it. Pursuant to this election, each shareholder
will be required to include in gross income (in addition to taxable dividends
actually received) his pro rata share of the foreign taxes paid by the
Portfolio, and will be entitled either to deduct (as an itemized deduction) his
pro rata share of foreign taxes in computing his taxable income or to use it as
a foreign tax credit against his U.S. Federal income tax liability, subject to
limitations. No deduction for foreign taxes may be claimed by a shareholder who
does not itemize deductions, but such a shareholder may be eligible to claim the
foreign tax credit (see below). Each shareholder will be notified within 60 days
after the close of a Portfolio's taxable year whether the foreign taxes paid by
the Portfolio will "pass-through" for that year.
Generally, a credit for foreign taxes is subject to the limitation that
it may not exceed the shareholder's U.S. tax attributable to his or her foreign
source taxable income. For this purpose, if the pass-through election is made,
the source of the Portfolio's income flows through to its shareholders with
respect to a Portfolio, gains from the sale of securities will be treated as
derived from U.S. sources and certain currency fluctuation gains, including
fluctuation gains from foreign currency denominated debt securities, receivables
and payables, will be treated as ordinary income derived from U.S. sources. The
limitation on the foreign tax credit is applied separately to foreign source
passive income (as defined for purposes of the foreign tax credit), including
the foreign source passive income passed through by a Portfolio. Shareholders
may be unable to claim a credit for the full amount of their proportionate share
of the foreign taxes paid by a Portfolio. Foreign taxes may not be deducted in
computing alternative minimum taxable income and the foreign tax credit can be
used to offset only 90% of the alternative minimum tax (as computed under the
Code for purposes of this limitation) imposed on corporations and individuals.
If a Portfolio is not eligible to make the election to "pass through" to its
shareholders its foreign taxes, the foreign taxes it pays will reduce investment
company taxable income and the distributions by the Portfolio will be treated as
United States source income.
Federal Taxation of Certain Financial Instruments. Generally, futures
contracts held by a Portfolio at the close of its taxable year will be treated
for Federal income tax purposes as sold for their fair market value on the last
business day of such year, a process known as "mark-to-market." Forty percent of
any gain or loss resulting from such constructive sale will be treated as
short-term capital gain or loss and 60% of such gain or loss will be treated as
long-term capital gain or loss without regard to the length of time the
Portfolio holds the futures contract ("the 40% - 60% rule"). The amount of any
<PAGE>
capital gain or loss actually realized by a Portfolio in a subsequent sale or
other disposition of those futures contracts will be adjusted to reflect any
capital gain or loss taken into account by the Portfolio in a prior year as a
result of the constructive sale of the contracts. With respect to futures
contracts to sell, which will be regarded as parts of a "mixed straddle" because
their values fluctuate inversely to the values of specific securities held by
the Portfolio, losses as to such contracts to sell will be subject to certain
loss deferral rules which limit the amount of loss currently deductible on
either part of the straddle to the amount thereof which exceeds the unrecognized
gain (if any) with respect to the other part of the straddle, and to certain
wash sales regulations. Under short sales rules, which also will be applicable,
the holding period of the securities forming part of the straddle will (if they
have not been held for the long term holding period) be deemed not to begin
prior to termination of the straddle. With respect to certain futures contracts,
deductions for interest and carrying charges will not be allowed.
Notwithstanding the rules described above, with respect to futures contracts to
sell which are properly identified as such, a Portfolio may make an election
which will exempt (in whole or in part) those identified futures contracts from
being treated for Federal income tax purposes as sold on the last business day
of its taxable year, but gains and losses will be subject to such short sales,
wash sales and loss deferral rules and the requirement to capitalize interest
and carrying charges. Under Temporary Regulations, a Portfolio would be allowed
(in lieu of the foregoing) to elect either (1) to offset gains or losses from
portions which are part of a mixed straddle by separately identifying each mixed
straddle to which such treatment applies, or (2) to establish a mixed straddle
account for which gains and losses would be recognized and offset on a periodic
basis during the taxable year. Under either election, the 40%-60% rule will
apply to the net gain or loss attributable to the futures contracts, but in the
case of a mixed straddle account election, no more than 50% of any net gain may
be treated as long term and no more than 40% of any net loss may be treated as
short term. Options on futures contracts generally receive Federal tax treatment
similar to that described above.
Certain foreign currency contracts entered into by the Portfolios may
be subject to the "mark-to-market" process and the 40%-60% rule in a manner
similar to that described in the preceding paragraph for futures contracts. To
receive such Federal income tax treatment, a foreign currency contract must meet
the following conditions: (1) the contract must require delivery of a foreign
currency of a type in which regulated futures contracts are traded or upon which
the settlement value of the contract depends; (2) the contract must be entered
into at arm's length at a price determined by reference to the price in the
interbank market; and (3) the contract must be traded in the interbank market.
<PAGE>
The Treasury has broad authority to issue regulations under the provisions
respecting foreign currency contracts. As of the date of this Statement of
Additional Information, the Treasury has not issued any such regulations. Other
foreign currency contracts entered into by the Portfolios may result in the
creation of one or more straddles for Federal income tax purposes, in which case
certain loss deferral, short sales, and wash sales rules and the requirement to
capitalize interest and carrying charges may apply.
As described more fully above, in order to qualify as a regulated
investment company under the Code, a Portfolio must derive less than 30% of its
gross income from the sale or other disposition of securities and certain other
investments held for less than three months. With respect to futures contracts
and other financial instruments subject to the mark-to-market rules, the
Internal Revenue Service has ruled in private letter rulings that a gain
realized from such a futures contract or financial instrument will be treated as
being derived from a security held for three months or more (regardless of the
actual period for which the contract or instrument is held) if the gain arises
as a result of a constructive sale under the mark-to-market rules, and will be
treated as being derived from a security held for less than three months only if
the contract or instrument is terminated (or transferred) during the taxable
year (other than by reason of mark-to-market) and less than three months have
elapsed between the date the contract or instrument is acquired and the
termination date. In determining whether the 30% test is met for a taxable year,
increases and decreases in the value of a Portfolio's futures contracts and
other investments that qualify as part of a "designated hedge," as defined in
the Code, may be netted.
Other Tax Matters. Special rules govern the Federal income tax
treatment of certain transactions denominated in terms of a currency other than
the U.S. dollar or determined by reference to the value of one or more
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The types of transactions covered by the
special rules include the following: (i) the acquisition of, or becoming the
obligor under, a bond or other debt instrument (including, to the extent
provided in Treasury regulations, preferred stock); (ii) the accruing of certain
trade receivables and payables; and (iii) the entering into or acquisition of
any forward contract, futures contract, option and similar financial instrument
if such instrument is not marked to market. The disposition of a currency other
than the U.S. dollar by a U.S. taxpayer also is treated as a transaction subject
to the special currency rules. However, foreign currency-related regulated
futures contracts and nonequity options generally are not subject to the special
currency rules if they are or would be treated as sold for their fair market
value at year-end under the mark-to-market rules, unless an election is made to
have such currency rules apply. With respect to transactions covered by the
<PAGE>
special rules, foreign currency gain or loss is calculated separately from any
gain or loss on the underlying transaction and is normally taxable as ordinary
gain or loss. A taxpayer may elect to treat as capital gain or loss foreign
currency gain or loss arising from certain identified forward contracts, futures
contracts and options that are capital assets in the hands of the taxpayer and
which are not part of a straddle. In accordance with Treasury regulations under
which certain transactions that are part of a "section 988 hedging transaction"
(as defined in the Code and the Treasury regulations) will be integrated and
treated as a single transaction or otherwise treated consistently for purposes
of the Code. Any gain or loss attributable to the foreign currency component of
a transaction engaged in by a Portfolio which is not subject to the special
currency rules (such as foreign equity investments other than certain preferred
stocks) will be treated as capital gain or loss and will not be segregated from
the gain or loss on the underlying transaction. It is anticipated that some of
the non-U.S. dollar denominated investments and foreign currency contracts a
Portfolio may make or enter into will be subject to the special currency rules
described above.
The Portfolio may recognize income currently for Federal income tax
purposes in the amount of the unpaid, accrued interest with respect to bonds
structured as zero coupon bonds or pay-in- kind securities, even though it
receives no cash interest until the security's maturity or payment date. As
discussed above, in order to qualify for beneficial tax treatment, a Portfolio
must distribute substantially all of its income to shareholders. Thus, a
Portfolio may have to dispose of its portfolio securities under disadvantageous
circumstances to generate cash or leverage itself by borrowing cash, in order
to satisfy the distribution requirement.
Some of the debt securities that may be acquired by a Portfolio may be
treated as debt securities that are originally issued at a discount. Original
issue discount can generally be defined as the difference between the price at
which a security was issued and its stated redemption price at maturity.
Although no cash income is actually received by the Portfolio in a given year,
original issue discount on a taxable debt security earned in that given year
generally is treated for Federal income tax purposes as interest and, therefore,
such income would be subject to the distribution requirements of the Code.
Some of the debt securities may be purchased by a Portfolio at a
discount which exceeds the original issue discount on such debt securities, if
any. This additional discount represents market discount for Federal income tax
purposes. The gain realized on the disposition of any taxable debt security
having market discount will be treated as ordinary income to the extent it does
not exceed the accrued market discount on such debt security. Generally, market
<PAGE>
discount accrues on a daily basis for each day the debt security is held by a
Portfolio at a constant rate over the time remaining to the debt security's
maturity or, at the election of the Portfolio, at a constant yield to maturity
which takes into account the semi-annual compounding of interest.
Exchange control regulations that may restrict repatriation of
investment income, capital, or the proceeds of securities sales by foreign
investors may limit a Portfolio's ability to make sufficient distributions to
satisfy the 90% and calendar year distribution requirements.
PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
Each Portfolio computes its average annual total return by determining
the average annual compounded rates of return during specified periods that
equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value of such
investment. This is done by dividing the ending redeemable value of a
hypothetical $1,000 initial payment by $1,000 and raising the quotient to a
power equal to one divided by the number of years (or fractional portion
thereof) covered by the computation and subtracting one from the result. This
calculation can be expressed as follows:
T = [( ERV )1/n - 1]
---
P
Where: T = average annual total return.
ERV = ending redeemable value at the end of the period
covered by the computation of a hypothetical $1,000
payment made at the beginning of the period.
P = hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
n = period covered by the computation, expressed in
terms of years.
Each Portfolio computes its aggregate total return by determining the
aggregate rates of return during specified periods that likewise equate the
initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value of such investment. The
formula for calculating aggregate total return is as follows:
T = [( ERV ) - 1]
---
P
The calculations of average annual total return and aggregate total
return assume the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions.
The ending redeemable value (variable "ERV" in each formula) is determined by
assuming complete redemption of the hypothetical investment and the deduction of
<PAGE>
all nonrecurring charges at the end of the period covered by the computations.
Each Portfolio's average annual total return and aggregate total return do not
reflect any fees charged by Institutions to their clients.
Set forth below are the average annual total return figures for the
Institutional International Portfolio since inception (August 1, 1992) and for
the one year period ended October 31, 1995 (with fee waivers).

GENERAL INFORMATION
Dividends and Capital Gains Distributions
Each Portfolio's policy is to distribute substantially all of its net
investment income, if any, together with any net realized capital gains in the
amount and at the times that will avoid both income (including capital gains)
taxes on it and the imposition of the Federal excise tax on undistributed income
and gains (see discussion under "Dividends, Capital Gains Distributions and
Taxes" in the Prospectus). As set forth in the Prospectus, each Portfolio
normally distributes substantially all of its net investment income to
shareholders in the form of a quarterly dividend. If any net capital gains are
realized by a Portfolio, that Portfolio normally distributes such gains at
least once a year. The amounts of any income dividends or capital gains
distributions for a Portfolio cannot be predicted.
Any dividend or distribution paid shortly after the purchase of shares
of a Portfolio by an investor may have the effect of reducing the per share net
<PAGE>
asset value of that Portfolio by the per share amount of the dividend or
distribution. Furthermore, such dividends or distributions, although in effect a
return of capital, are subject to income taxes as set forth in the Prospectus.
Certain Record Holders
As of November 30, 1995, the Advisor held of record 100% of the
outstanding shares of the Emerging Markets Portfolio. For more information about
the Advisor, see "Investment Advisor" in the Prospectus. To Glenmede Fund's
knowledge, as of November 30, 1995, no person owned, beneficially or of record,
5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Institutional International
Portfolio. As of November 30, 1995, the directors and officers of Glenmede Fund
collectively owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Institutional
International and Emerging Markets Portfolio.

APPENDIX -- DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND RATINGS
I. Description of Commercial Paper Ratings
Description of Moody's highest commercial paper rating:
Prime-1 ("P-1") --judged to be of the best quality. Issuers rated P-1
(or related supporting institutions) are considered to have a superior
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.
Description of S&P highest commercial paper ratings:
A-1+ -- this designation indicates the degree of safety regarding
timely payment is overwhelming. A-1 -- this designation indicates the
degree of safety regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or
very strong.
Description of Bond Ratings
The following summarizes the ratings used by S&P for corporate and
municipal debt:
AAA - Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity
to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the highest rated issues only in a small
degree.
A - Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt
in higher rated categories.
BBB - Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher
rated categories.
Plus (+) or Minus (-): The ratings from AA to BBB may be modified by
the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.
The following summarizes the ratings used by Moody's for corporate and
municipal long-term debt:
A-1
<PAGE>
Aaa - Bonds that are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally
referred to as "gilt edged." Interest payments are protected by a large
or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the
various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can
be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong
position of such issues.
Aa - Bonds that are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all
standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally
known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds
because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities
or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or
there may be other elements present which make the long-term risks
appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
A - Bonds that are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes
and are to be considered upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving
security to principal and interest are considered adequate, but
elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment
sometime in the future.
Baa - Bonds that are rated Baa are considered medium grade obligations,
i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest
payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but
certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding
investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics
as well.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers (1, 2 and 3) with respect to
corporate bonds rated Aa, A and Baa. The modifier 1 indicates that the bond
being rated ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier
2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates that the bond
ranks in the lower end of its generic rating category. Those bonds in the Aa, A
and Baa categories which Moody's believes possess the strongest investment
attributes, within those categories are designated by the symbols Aa1, A1 and
Baa1, respectively.
II. Description of U.S. Government Securities and Certain Other
Securities
The term "U.S. Government securities" refers to a variety of
securities which are issued or guaranteed by the United States
A-2
<PAGE>
Government, and by various instrumentalities which have been established or
sponsored by the United States Government.
U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the "full faith and credit" of
the United States Government. Securities issued or guaranteed by Federal
agencies and U.S. Government sponsored enterprises or instrumentalities may or
may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. In the case
of securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, an
investor must look principally to the agency, enterprise or instrumentality
issuing or guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment, and may not be
able to assert a claim against the United States itself in the event the agency,
enterprise or instrumentality does not meet its commitment. Agencies which are
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States include the Export
Import Bank, Farmers Home Administration, Federal Financing Bank and others.
Certain agencies, enterprises and instrumentalities, such as the Government
National Mortgage Association are, in effect, backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States through provisions in their charters that they may
make "indefinite and unlimited" drawings on the Treasury, if needed to service
its debt. Debt from certain other agencies, enterprises and instrumentalities,
including the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal National Mortgage Association,
are not guaranteed by the United States, but those institutions are protected by
the discretionary authority for the U.S. Treasury to purchase certain amounts of
their securities to assist the institution in meeting its debt obligations.
Finally, other agencies, enterprises and instrumentalities, such as the Farm
Credit System and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, are federally
chartered institutions under Government supervision, but their debt securities
are backed only by the creditworthiness of those institutions, not the U.S.
Government.
Some of the U.S. Government agencies that issue or guarantee securities
include the Export-Import Bank of the United States, Farmers Home
Administration, Federal Housing Administration, Maritime Administration, Small
Business Administration and The Tennessee Valley Authority.
An instrumentality of the U.S. Government is a Government agency
organized under Federal charter with Government supervision. Instrumentalities
issuing or guaranteeing securities include, among others, Overseas Private
Investment Corporation, Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Land Banks, Central
Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks and the Federal
National Mortgage Association.
A-3
<PAGE>
III. Foreign Investments
Investors should recognize that investing in foreign companies involves
certain special considerations which are not typically associated with investing
in U.S. companies. Because the stocks of foreign companies are frequently
denominated in foreign currencies, and because the Institutional International
and Emerging Markets Portfolios may temporarily hold uninvested reserves in bank
deposits in foreign currencies, the Institutional International and Emerging
Markets Portfolios may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in
currency rates and in exchange control regulations, and may incur costs in
connection with conversions between various currencies. The investment policies
of the Institutional International and Emerging Markets Portfolios permit the
Portfolios to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to
hedge the Portfolios' holdings and commitments against changes in the level of
future currency rates. Such contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell
a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract.
As foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform accounting,
auditing and financial reporting standards and they may have policies that are
not comparable to those of domestic companies, there may be less information
available about certain foreign companies than about domestic companies.
Securities of some foreign companies are generally less liquid and more volatile
than securities of comparable domestic companies. There is generally less
government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed
companies than in the U.S. In addition, there is the possibility of
expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or
diplomatic developments which could affect U.S. investments in foreign
countries.
Although the Institutional International and Emerging Markets
Portfolios will endeavor to achieve most favorable execution costs in its
portfolio transactions, fixed commissions on many foreign stock exchanges are
generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. exchanges.
Certain foreign governments levy withholding taxes on dividend and
interest income. Although in some countries a portion of these taxes are
recoverable, the non-recovered portion of foreign withholding taxes will reduce
the income received from the foreign companies comprising the Institutional
International and Emerging Markets Portfolios.

1 The Portfolios described in this prospectus do not pay any advisory fees to
the Advisor, or its affiliates ("Affiliates"). However, investors in these
Portfolios must be clients of the Advisor or Affiliates. The "Maximum Annual
Client Fee" in the above table is the current maximum fee that the Advisor or an
Affiliate would charge its clients directly for fiduciary, trust and/or advisory
services (e.g., personal trust, estate, advisory, tax and custodian services).
The actual annual fees charged by the Advisor and its Affiliates directly to
their clients for such services vary depending on a number of factors, including
the particular services provided to the client, but are generally under 1% of
the client's assets under management. Investors also may have to pay various
fees to others to become clients of the Advisor or an Affiliate. See "Investment
Advisor."
The purpose of the above table is to assist an investor in
understanding the various estimated costs and expenses that an investor in a
Portfolio will bear directly or indirectly. Actual expenses may be greater or
lesser than such estimates. For further information concerning the Portfolios'
expenses see "Investment Advisor," "Administrative Services" and "Board Members
and Officers."
The following example illustrates the estimated expenses that an
investor would pay on a $1,000 investment over various time periods assuming (i)
a 5% annual rate of return and (ii) redemption at the end of each time period.
The example does not include fees for fiduciary and investment services which
investors pay the Advisor or Affiliates as clients. See "Investment Advisor." As
noted in the above table, the Glenmede Fund charges no redemption fees of any
kind.

PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
Each of the Equity, International, Small Capitalization Equity and
Model Equity Portfolios may advertise or quote total return data from time to
time. Total return will be calculated on an average annual total return basis,
and may also be calculated on an aggregate total return basis, for various
periods. Average annual total return reflects the average annual percentage
change in value of an investment in the particular Portfolio. Aggregate total
return reflects the total percentage change in value over the measuring period.
Both methods of calculating total return assume that dividend and capital
gains distributions made by the Portfolio during the period are reinvested in
additional Portfolio shares.
Each of the Equity, International, Small Capitalization Equity and
Model Equity Portfolios may compare their total returns to that of other
investment companies with similar investment objectives and to stock and other
relevant indices such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index
("S&P 500"), the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Russel 2000 Index or the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s National Market and Automated
Quotations Systems ("NASDAQ") Composite Index or to rankings prepared by
independent services or other financial or industry publications that monitor
the performance of mutual funds. For example, the total return of the Equity,
International, Small Capitalization Equity or Model Equity Portfolios may also
be compared to data prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. In addition,
the International Portfolio's total return may be compared to the Morgan Stanley
Capital International EAFE Index. Total return and other performance data as
reported in national financial publications such as Money Magazine, Forbes,
Barron's, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, or in publications of
a local or regional nature, may also be used in comparing the performance of the
Equity, International, Small Capitalization Equity or Model Equity Portfolios.
Performance quotations represent a Portfolio's past performance, and
should not be considered as representative of future results. Since performance
will fluctuate, performance data for a Portfolio should not be used to compare
an investment in the Portfolio's shares with bank deposits, savings accounts and
similar investment alternatives which often provide an agreed or guaranteed
fixed yield/return for a stated period of time. Shareholders should remember
that performance is generally a function of the kind and quality of the
instruments held in a Portfolio, portfolio maturity, operating expenses and
market conditions. Any management fees charged by the Advisor or institutions to
their respective clients will not be included in the Portfolio's calculations of
total return. See "Investment Advisor."
INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
The investment objective of each Portfolio is not fundamental and may
be changed by the Board members without shareholder approval.
EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The objective of the Equity Portfolio is to provide maximum long-term
total return consistent with reasonable risk to principal . The Portfolio
seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in common stocks selected
on the basis of fundamental investment value. Crucial to the valuation process
is a systematic examination of the earning and dividend paying ability of
companies and denominating these characteristics by the market value of the
underlying stock. Stocks purchased by the Portfolio will be primarily those
traded on the various stock exchanges and the NASDAQ.
Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Equity Portfolio's
total assets will be invested in equity securities such as common and preferred
stock and securities convertible into such stock. Factors considered in the
-8-
<PAGE>
selection of securities include, without limitation, price earning ratios,
price-to-cash flow ratios, reinvestment rates, dividend yields, payout ratios
and earnings growth rates.
The Portfolio's holdings will tend to be characterized by relatively
low price-to-earnings ratios. There is no mandated income requirement for
securities held by the Portfolio.
The Equity Portfolio intends to remain, for the most part, fully
invested in equity securities, which may include securities of companies located
outside the United States, and will not engage in "market timing" transactions.
See "Investment Policies and Risk Factors--International Portfolio" for a
discussion of special risks and considerations involved in investing in
securities of foreign companies. However, the Portfolio may invest a portion
of its assets (up to 20% under normal circumstances) in preferred stocks,
convertible debentures, and the following fixed income and money market
securities: obligations of the U.S. Government and its guaranteed or sponsored
agencies, including shares of open-end or closed-end investment companies which
invest in such obligations (such shares will be purchased within the limits
prescribed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"));
short-term money market instruments issued in the U.S. or abroad, denominated in
dollars or any foreign currency, including short-term certificates of deposit
(including variable rate certificates of deposit), time deposits with a maturity
no greater than 180 days, bankers acceptances, commercial paper rated A-1 by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, Division of McGraw Hill ("S&P") or Prime-1 by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or in equivalent money market
securities; and high quality fixed income securities denominated in U.S.
dollars, any foreign currency, or a multi-national currency unit such as the
European Currency Unit.
For a description of other securities in which the Equity Portfolio may
invest, see "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
The objective of the International Portfolio is to provide maximum,
long-term total return consistent with reasonable risk to principal. The
International Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in
common stocks and other equity securities of companies located outside the
United States. The Portfolio is expected to diversify its investments across
companies located in a number of foreign countries, which may include, but is
not limited to, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, the
Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. The Portfolio will
invest an aggregate of at least 65% of its total assets in the securities of
companies (other than investment companies) in at least three countries other
than the United States.
The securities which the Portfolio may purchase include the following:
common stocks of companies located outside the U.S.; shares of closed-end
investment companies which invest chiefly in the shares of companies located
outside the U.S. (such shares will be purchased by the Portfolio within the
limits prescribed by the 1940 Act); U.S. or foreign securities convertible into
foreign common stock; and American Depository Receipts, which are U.S. domestic
securities representing ownership rights in foreign companies.
The International Portfolio may also enter into forward currency
exchange contracts in order to hedge against uncertainty in the level of
future foreign exchange rates in the purchase and sale of investment
securities, but may not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes. A
forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or
sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days
from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the
time of the contract. These contracts may be bought or sold to protect the
Portfolio, to some degree, against a possible loss resulting from an adverse
-9-
<PAGE>
change in the relationship between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. It
should be realized that this method of protecting the value of the Portfolio's
investment securities against a decline in the value of a currency does not
eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. It simply
establishes a rate of exchange at some future point in time. Additionally,
although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in
the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they tend to limit any
potential gain which might result should the value of such currency increase.
Investors should recognize that investing in the securities of foreign
companies and the utilization of forward foreign currency contracts involve
special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S.
companies. These risks and considerations include differences in accounting,
auditing and financial reporting standards, generally higher commission rates on
foreign portfolio transactions, the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory
taxation, adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations,
political instability which could affect U.S. investment in foreign countries
and potential restrictions on the flow of international capital. Moreover, the
dividends payable on the Portfolio's foreign portfolio securities may be subject
to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing the net amount of income available
for distribution to the Portfolio's shareholders. Further, foreign securities
often trade with less frequency and volume than domestic securities and,
therefore, may exhibit greater price volatility. Also, changes in foreign
exchange rates will affect, favorably or unfavorably, the value of those
securities in a portfolio which are denominated or quoted in currencies other
than the U.S. dollar. In addition, in many countries there is less publicly
available information about issuers than is available in reports about companies
in the United States. Foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, and auditing practices
and requirements may not be comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.
Further, a Portfolio may encounter difficulties or be unable to pursue legal
remedies and obtain judgments in foreign courts.
The International Portfolio intends to remain, for the most part, fully
invested in equity securities of companies located outside of the United States.
However, the Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets (up to 35% under
normal circumstances) in the following fixed income and money market securities:
obligations of the U.S. Government and its guaranteed or sponsored agencies,
including shares of open-end or closed-end investment companies which invest in
such obligations (such shares will be purchased within the limits prescribed by
the 1940 Act); short-term money market instruments issued in the U.S. or abroad,
denominated in dollars or any foreign currency, including short-term
certificates of deposit (including variable rate certificates of deposit), time
deposits with a maturity no greater than 180 days, banker's acceptances,
commercial paper rated A-1 by S&P or Prime-1 by Moody's, or in equivalent money
market securities; and high quality fixed income securities denominated in U.S.
dollars, any foreign currency, or a multi-national currency unit such as the
European Currency Unit.
For a description of other securities in which the International
Portfolio may invest, see "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
SMALL CAPITALIZATION EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The objective of the Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio is to
provide long-term appreciation consistent with reasonable risk to principal. The
Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by
investing primarily in common stocks with market capitalizations of less than $1
billion, which are selected on the basis of fundamental investment value.
Crucial to this valuation process is a systematic examination of the earning
and dividend paying ability of companies and denominating these characteristics
by the market value of the underlying stock. Stocks purchased by the Portfolio
will be primarily those traded on the various stock exchanges and NASDAQ,
-10-
<PAGE>
however, the Portfolio may purchase unlisted securities and penny stocks. Many
different company types and industries may be represented by the securities
purchased by the Portfolio.
Factors considered by the Advisor in the selection of securities
include, but are not limited to, price- to-earnings ratios, price to cash flow
ratios, reinvestment rates, dividend yields, expected growth rates, and balance
sheet quality. The Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio may invest in
securities located outside the United States. Investors in the Portfolio should
recognize that securities denominated in foreign currencies or a multi-national
currency unit involve special risks. The Portfolio may be affected favorably or
unfavorably by changes in currency rates and in exchange control regulations,
and may incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies.
See "Investment Policies and Risk Factors--International Portfolio" for a
discussion of special risks and considerations involved in investing in
securities of foreign companies.
The Portfolio's holdings will tend to be characterized by relatively
low price-to-earnings ratios. There is no mandated income requirement for
securities held by the Portfolio. The Portfolio generally will be more volatile
and have a higher expected growth rate than the overall market. In certain
periods, the Portfolio may fluctuate independently of broad, larger
capitalization indexes such as the S&P 500.
Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the Portfolio's total
assets will be invested in equity securities of small capitalization companies.
However, if warranted in the judgement of the Advisor, the Portfolio may invest
a portion of its assets (up to 20% under normal circumstances) in preferred
stocks and convertible debentures with a minimum rating of BBB by S&P or Baa by
Moody's, and the following fixed income and money market securities: obligations
of the U.S. Government and its guaranteed or sponsored agencies, including
shares of open-end or closed-end investment companies which invest in such
obligations (such shares will be purchased within the limits prescribed by the
1940 Act, as more fully described under "Investment Limitations" in the Glenmede
Fund's SAI); short-term money market instruments issued in the U.S. or abroad,
denominated in dollars or any foreign currency, including short-term
certificates of deposit (including variable rate certificates of deposit), time
deposits with a maturity no greater than 180 days, banker's acceptances,
commercial paper rated A-1 by S&P or Prime-1 by Moody's, or in equivalent money
market securities; and high quality fixed income securities denominated in U.S.
dollars, any foreign currency, or a multi-national currency unit such as the
European Currency Unit.
For a description of other securities in which the Small Capitalization
Equity Portfolio may invest, see "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
MODEL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
The objective of the Model Equity Portfolio is to provide maximum
long-term total return consistent with reasonable risk to principal. The Model
Equity Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in common
stocks . Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Model Equity
Portfolio's total assets will be invested in common stock.
The Advisor will actively manage the Portfolio based upon ongoing
analysis of economic, financial and market developments. In managing the
Portfolio, the Advisor will use its proprietary equity computer model, which
ranks stocks, as an investment guide. Although the Advisor's proprietary equity
computer model is a disciplined model, the Advisor will use its investment
judgment in seeking to achieve the Portfolio's objective. The Advisor currently
anticipates that its proprietary equity computer model will be run at least
-11-
<PAGE>
weekly. From time to time, the Advisor may revise its proprietary equity
computer model programs to maintain or enhance performance.
Other factors considered by the Advisor in the selection of
securities include, but are not limited to, price-to-book value ratios,
earnings-to-yields ratios, price-to-cash flow ratios, return on equity ratios,
debt-to-equity ratios, dividend yields, earnings growth rates and historic
price patterns.
The Model Equity Portfolio intends to remain, for the most part, fully
invested. Common stocks in which the Portfolio may invest include, without
limitation, American Depository Receipts which are listed on the New York Stock
Exchange. The Model Equity Portfolio will not engage in "market timing"
transactions. See "Investment Policies and Risk Factors--International
Portfolio" for a discussion of special risks and considerations involved in
investing in securities of foreign companies. However, for temporary purposes
this Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets (up to 20%) in short-term
money market instruments issued by U.S. or foreign issuers, denominated in
dollars or any foreign currency, including short-term certificates of deposit
(including variable rate certificates of deposit), time deposits with a maturity
no greater than 180 days, bankers acceptances, commercial paper rated A-1 by S&P
or Prime-1 by Moody's, or in similar money market securities.
For a description of other securities in which the Model Equity
Portfolio may invest, see "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
COMMON INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
There can be no assurance that any of the Portfolios will achieve its
stated investment objective. There are a number of investment policies common to
the Portfolios.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with qualified
brokers, dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed creditworthy by
the Advisor. Under normal circumstances, however, each of the Equity,
International, Small Capitalization Equity and Model Equity Portfolios will not
enter into repurchase agreements if entering into such agreements would cause,
at the time of entering into such agreements, more than 20% of the value of the
total assets of the particular Portfolio to be subject to repurchase agreements.
The International Portfolio would generally enter into repurchase transactions
to invest cash reserves.
In a repurchase agreement, a Portfolio purchases a security and
simultaneously commits to resell that security at a future date to the seller (a
qualified bank or securities dealer) at an agreed upon price plus an agreed upon
market rate of interest (itself unrelated to the coupon rate or date of maturity
of the purchased security). The securities held subject to a repurchase
agreement may have stated maturities exceeding 13 months. The Advisor currently
expects that repurchase agreements with respect to the Equity, International,
Small Capitalization Equity and Model Equity Portfolios will mature in less than
13 months. The seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain
the value of the securities subject to the agreement at not less than 101% of
the repurchase price including accrued interest. The Glenmede Fund's
administrator and the Advisor will mark to market daily the value of the
securities purchased, and the Advisor will, if necessary, require the seller to
deposit additional securities to ensure that the value is in compliance with the
101% requirement stated above. The Advisor will consider the creditworthiness of
a seller in determining whether a Portfolio should enter into a repurchase
agreement, and the Portfolios will only enter into repurchase agreements with
banks and dealers which are determined to present minimal credit risk by the
Advisor under procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.
-12-
<PAGE>
In effect, by entering into a repurchase agreement, a Portfolio is
lending its funds to the seller at the agreed upon interest rate, and receiving
a security as collateral for the loan. Such agreements can be entered into for
periods of one day (overnight repo) or for a fixed term (term repo). Repurchase
agreements are a common way to earn interest income on short-term funds.
The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For example,
if the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase
the underlying securities at a time when the value of these securities has
declined, a Portfolio may incur a loss upon disposition of them. Default by the
seller would also expose a Portfolio to possible loss because of delays in
connection with the disposition of the underlying obligations. If the seller of
an agreement becomes insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization
under the Bankruptcy Code or other laws, a bankruptcy court may determine that
the underlying securities are collateral not within the control of a Portfolio
and therefore subject to sale by the trustee in bankruptcy. Further, it is
possible that a Portfolio may not be able to substantiate its interest in the
underlying securities.
BORROWING
The Portfolios may purchase securities on a "when issued," "delayed
settlement" or "forward delivery" basis. As a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes, a Portfolio may borrow money from banks.
However, none of the Portfolios will borrow money for speculative purposes. See
"Common Investment Policies--`When Issued,' `Delayed Settlement' and `Forward
Delivery Securities.'"
LENDING OF SECURITIES
Each Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities with a value up to
one-third of its total assets to qualified brokers, dealers, banks and other
financial institutions for the purpose of realizing additional net investment
income through the receipt of interest on the loan. Such loans would involve
risks of delay in receiving additional collateral in the event the value of the
collateral decreased below the value of the securities loaned or of delay in
recovering the securities loaned or even loss of rights in the collateral should
the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made only to
borrowers deemed by the Advisor to be of good standing.
"WHEN ISSUED," "DELAYED SETTLEMENT" AND "FORWARD DELIVERY" SECURITIES
The Portfolios may purchase and sell securities on a "when issued,"
"delayed settlement" or "forward delivery" basis. "When issued" or "forward
delivery" refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for
which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. When
issued or forward delivery transactions may be expected to occur one month or
more before delivery is due. Delayed settlement is a term used to describe
settlement of a securities transaction in the secondary market which will occur
sometime in the future. No payment or delivery is made by a Portfolio in a when
issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery transaction until the Portfolio
receives payment or delivery from the other party to the transaction. A
Portfolio will maintain a separate account of cash, U.S. Government securities
or other high grade debt obligations at least equal to the value of purchase
commitments until payment is made. Such segregated securities will either mature
or, if necessary, be sold on or before the settlement date. Although a Portfolio
receives no income from the above described securities prior to delivery, the
market value of such securities is still subject to change. A Portfolio receives
-13-
<PAGE>
no income from "when issued," "delayed settlement" or "forward delivery"
securities prior to delivery of such securities.
A Portfolio will engage in when issued transactions to obtain what is
considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction.
When a Portfolio engages in when issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery
transactions, it will do so for the purpose of acquiring securities consistent
with its investment objective and policies and not for the purposes of
speculation. Each Portfolio's when issued, delayed settlement and forward
delivery commitments are not expected to exceed 25% of its total assets absent
unusual market circumstances, and each Portfolio will only sell securities on
such a basis to offset securities purchased on such a basis.
INVESTMENT COMPANY SECURITIES
In connection with the management of their daily cash positions, the
Portfolios may each invest in securities issued by other open-end investment
companies with investment objectives and policies that are consistent with those
of the investing portfolio. Each Portfolio limits its investments so that, as
determined immediately after a securities purchase is made: (a) not more than 5%
of the value of its total assets will be invested in the securities of any one
investment company; (b) not more than 10% of the value of its total assets will
be invested in the aggregate in the securities of investment companies as a
group; and (c) not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one
investment company will be owned by the Portfolio. As a shareholder of another
investment company, the Portfolio would bear its pro rata portion of the other
investment company's advisory fees and other expenses, in addition to the
expenses the Portfolio bears directly in connection with its own operations.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES
No Portfolio will invest more than 10% of its net assets in securities
that are illiquid.
Unless specified above and except as described under "Investment
Limitations," the foregoing investment policies are not fundamental, and the
Board members may change such policies without shareholder approval.
----------------------
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Shares of each Portfolio are sold without a sales commission on a
continuous basis to the Advisor acting on behalf of its clients or the clients
of its Affiliates ("Clients") and to other institutions (the "Institutions"), at
the net asset value per share next determined after receipt of the purchase
order by the transfer agent. See "Valuation of Shares." The minimum initial
investment for each Portfolio is $25,000; the minimum for subsequent investments
for each Portfolio is $1,000. Glenmede Fund reserves the right to reduce or
waive the minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements from time to
time. Beneficial ownership of shares will be reflected on books maintained by
the Advisor or the Institutions. A prospective investor wishing to purchase
shares in the Glenmede Fund should contact the Advisor or his or her
Institution.
It is the responsibility of the Advisor to transmit orders for share
purchases to Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICC"), Glenmede Fund's
transfer agent, and deliver required funds to The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.,
Brooklyn, New York, Glenmede Fund's custodian, on a timely basis.
Glenmede Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend
the offering of shares of its Portfolios or reject purchase orders when, in the
-14-
<PAGE>
judgment of management, such suspension or rejection is in the best interests of
the Glenmede Fund.
Purchases of a Portfolio's shares will be made in full and fractional
shares of the Portfolio calculated to three decimal places. In the interest of
economy and convenience, certificates for shares will not be issued except upon
the written request of the shareholder. Certificates for fractional shares,
however, will not be issued.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of each Portfolio may be redeemed at any time, without cost, at
the net asset value of the Portfolio next determined after receipt of the
redemption request by the transfer agent. Generally, a properly signed written
request is all that is required. Any redemption may be more or less than the
purchase price of the shares depending on the market value of the investment
securities held by the Portfolio. An investor wishing to redeem shares should
contact the Advisor or his or her Institution. It is the responsibility of the
Advisor to transmit promptly redemption orders to the transfer agent.
Payment of the redemption proceeds will ordinarily be made within one
business day, but in no event more than seven days, after receipt of the order
in proper form by the transfer agent. Redemption orders are effected at net
asset value per share next determined after receipt of the order in proper form
by the transfer agent. Glenmede Fund may suspend the right of redemption or
postpone the date of payment at times when the New York Stock Exchange (the
"Exchange") is closed, or under any emergency circumstances as determined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). See "Valuation of Shares"
for the days on which the Exchange is closed.
If the Board determines that it would be detrimental to the best
interests of the remaining shareholders of Glenmede Fund to make payment
wholly or partly in cash, Glenmede Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in whole
or in part by a distribution in-kind of securities held by a Portfolio in lieu
of cash in conformity with applicable rules of the Commission. Investors may
incur brokerage charges on the sale of portfolio securities received as a
redemption in kind.
Glenmede Fund reserves the right, upon 30 days' written notice, to
redeem an account in any of the Portfolios if the net asset value of the
account's shares falls below $100 and is not increased to at least such amount
within such 30-day period.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION
OF SHARES OF THE INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
Glenmede Fund may, from time to time, in its sole discretion appoint
one or more entities as its agent to receive purchase and redemption orders of
shares of the International Portfolio and cause these orders to be transmitted,
on a net basis, to Glenmede Fund's transfer agent. In these instances, orders
are effected at the net asset value per share next determined after receipt of
that order by the entity, if the order is actually received by Glenmede Fund's
transfer agent not later than the next business morning.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The net asset value of the Portfolios is determined by dividing the
total market value of each Portfolio's investments and other assets, less any
liabilities of that Portfolio, by the total outstanding shares of that
Portfolio. Currently the Exchange is closed on weekends and the customary
national business holidays of New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday,
Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day
-15-
<PAGE>
(or the days on which they are observed). For the Equity, International, Small
Capitalization Equity and Model Equity Portfolios, net asset value per share is
determined as of the close of regular trading hours of the Exchange on each day
that the Exchange is open for business . One or more pricing services may be
used to provide securities valuations in connection with the determination of
the net asset value of each Portfolio.
EQUITY, SMALL CAPITALIZATION EQUITY AND MODEL EQUITY PORTFOLIOS
Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market
quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price as of
the close of the Exchange's regular trading hours on the day the valuation is
made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where
the security is primarily traded. Unlisted equity securities and listed
securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are
readily available are valued not exceeding the asked prices nor less than the
bid prices. The value of securities for which no quotations are readily
available (including restricted securities) is determined in good faith at fair
value using methods determined by the Board. For the Equity, Small
Capitalization Equity and Model Equity Portfolios, securities listed on a
foreign exchange and unlisted foreign securities are valued as described below
under "International Portfolio."
INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO
Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market
quotations are available are valued at the last quoted sale price as of the
close of the exchange's regular trading hours on the day the valuation is made.
Securities listed on a foreign exchange and unlisted foreign securities are
valued at the latest quoted sales price available before the time when assets
are valued. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange
where the security is primarily traded. Unlisted U.S. equity securities and
listed securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations
are readily available are valued not in excess of the asked prices or less than
the bid prices. The value of securities for which no quotations are readily
available (including restricted securities) is determined in good faith at fair
value using methods determined by the Board. Foreign currency amounts are
translated into U.S. dollars at the bid prices of such currencies against U.S.
dollars last quoted by a major bank.
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS
The International, Equity, Small Capitalization Equity and Model Equity
Portfolios normally distribute substantially all of their net investment income
to shareholders in the form of a quarterly dividend.
If any net capital gains are realized, the Portfolios normally
distribute such gains at least once a year. However, see "Dividends, Capital
Gains Distributions and Taxes--Federal Taxes--Miscellaneous," for a discussion
of the Federal excise tax applicable to certain regulated investment companies.
Undistributed net investment income is included in a Portfolio's net
assets for the purpose of calculating net asset value per share. Therefore, on
the Equity, International, Small Capitalization Equity and Model Equity
Portfolios' "ex-dividend" date, the net asset value per share excludes the
dividend (i.e., is reduced by the per share amount of the dividend). Dividends
paid shortly after the purchase of shares of the Equity, International, Small
Capitalization Equity and Model Equity Portfolios by an investor, although in
effect a return of capital, are taxable to the investor.
-16-
<PAGE>
FEDERAL TAXES
Each Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company"
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Such
qualification relieves a Portfolio of liability for Federal income taxes to the
extent its earnings are distributed in accordance with the Code.
Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code for a
taxable year requires, among other things, that a taxable Portfolio distribute
to its shareholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its investment company
taxable income and 90% of its net exempt interest income (if any) for such
taxable year. In general, a Portfolio's investment company taxable income will
be its net investment income, including interest and dividends, subject to
certain adjustments, and net short-term capital gains, excluding the excess of
any net long-term capital gain for the taxable year over the net short-term
capital loss, if any, for such year. Each Portfolio intends to distribute as
dividends substantially all of its investment company taxable income each year.
Such dividends will be taxable as ordinary income to each Portfolio's
shareholders who are not currently exempt from Federal income taxes, whether
such income or gain is received in cash or reinvested in additional shares. The
dividends received deduction for corporations will apply to such ordinary income
distributions to the extent the total qualifying dividends received by a
Portfolio are from domestic corporations for the taxable year. It is anticipated
that only a small part (if any) of the dividends paid by the International
Portfolio will be eligible for the dividends received deduction.
Substantially all of each Portfolio's net realized long-term capital
gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually to its shareholders. A
Portfolio generally will have no tax liability with respect to such gains and
the distributions will be taxable to the shareholders who are not currently
exempt from Federal income taxes as long-term capital gains, regardless of how
long the shareholders have held the shares and whether such gains are received
in cash or reinvested in additional shares.
A shareholder considering buying shares of a Portfolio on or just
before the record date of a dividend should be aware that the amount of the
forthcoming dividend payment, although in effect a return of capital, will be
taxable.
A taxable gain or loss may be realized by a shareholder upon redemption
or transfer of shares of each Portfolio, depending upon the tax basis of such
shares and their price at the time of redemption or transfer.
International Portfolio. It is expected that dividends and certain
interest income earned by the International Portfolio from foreign securities
will be subject to foreign withholding taxes or other taxes. So long as more
than 50% of the value of the Portfolio's total assets at the close of any
taxable year consists of stocks or securities of foreign corporations, the
Portfolio may elect, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, to treat certain
foreign taxes paid by it, including generally any withholding taxes and other
foreign income taxes, as paid by its shareholders. If the Portfolio makes this
election, the amount of such foreign taxes paid by the Portfolio will be
included in its shareholders' income pro rata (in addition to taxable
distributions actually received by them), and each shareholder will be entitled
(a) to credit his proportionate amount of such taxes against his U.S. Federal
income tax liabilities, or (b) if he itemizes his deductions, to deduct such
proportionate amount from his U.S. income.
To the extent that dividends paid to shareholders are derived from
taxable interest or from long-term or short-term capital gains, such dividends
will be subject to Federal income tax (whether such dividends are paid in cash
or additional shares) and may also be subject to state and local taxes.
-17-
<PAGE>
Miscellaneous. Dividends declared in October, November or December of
any year payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such months
will be deemed to have been received by the shareholders and paid by a Portfolio
on December 31, in the event such dividends are paid during January of the
following year.
A 4% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on regulated investment
companies that fail to currently distribute specified percentages of their
ordinary taxable income and net capital gain (excess of capital gains over
capital losses). Each Portfolio intends to make sufficient distributions or
deemed distributions of its ordinary taxable income and any net capital gain
prior to the end of each calendar year to avoid liability for this excise tax.
The foregoing summarizes some of the important tax considerations
generally affecting the Portfolios and their shareholders and is not intended as
a substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors in the
Portfolios should consult their tax advisers with specific reference to their
own tax situation.
The foregoing discussion of tax consequences is based on tax laws and
regulations in effect on the date of this Prospectus, which are subject to
change by legislative or administrative action.
Shareholders will be advised at least annually as to the federal income
tax consequences of distributions made each year.
Each Portfolio will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit
to the United States Treasury 31% of taxable dividends or gross proceeds
realized upon sale paid to shareholders who have failed to provide a correct tax
identification number in the manner required, or who are subject to withholding
by the IRS for failure properly to include on their return payments of taxable
interest or dividends, or who have failed to certify to the Portfolio that they
are not subject to backup withholding when required to do so or that they are
"exempt recipients."
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
Shareholders may also be subject to state and local taxes on
distributions from Glenmede Fund. A shareholder should consult with his or her
tax adviser with respect to the tax status of distributions from the Glenmede
Fund in a particular state and locality.
Glenmede Fund has obtained a Certificate of Authority to do business
as a foreign corporation in Pennsylvania, and currently does business in that
state. Accordingly, the shares of the Glenmede Fund will be exempt from
Pennsylvania Personal Property Taxes.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN
Glenmede Fund has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the "Plan")
effective January 1, 1995 under which each Portfolio may pay a fee to
broker/dealers, banks and other financial institutions (including the Advisor
and its affiliates) that are dealers of record or holders of record or which
have a servicing relationship ("Servicing Agents") with the beneficial owners of
shares in any of the Portfolios. Under the Plan, Servicing Agents enter into
Shareholder Servicing Agreements (the "Agreements") with the Glenmede Fund.
Pursuant to such Agreements, Servicing Agents provide shareholder support
services to their clients ("Customers") who beneficially own shares of the
Portfolios. The fee, which will be at an annual rate of .05%, is computed
monthly and is based on the average daily net assets of the shares
beneficially owned by Customers of such Servicing Agents. All expenses
incurred by the Portfolios in connection with the Agreements and the
implementation of the Plan shall be borne entirely by the holders of the shares
of the particular Portfolio involved and will result in an equivalent increase
to each Portfolio's Total Portfolio Operating Expenses. The Advisor has entered
into an Agreement with Glenmede Fund.
The services provided by the Servicing Agents under the Agreements may
include: aggregating and processing purchase and redemption requests from
Customers and transmitting purchase and redemption orders to the transfer agent;
providing Customers with a service that invests the assets of their accounts
in shares pursuant to specific or pre-authorized instructions; processing
dividend and distribution payments from the Glenmede Fund on behalf of
Customers; providing information periodically to Customers showing their
positions; arranging for bank wires; responding to Customers' inquiries
concerning their investments; providing sub-accounting with respect to shares
beneficially owned by Customers or the information necessary for
sub-accounting; if required by law, forwarding shareholder communications (such
as proxies, shareholder reports, annual and semi-annual financial statements and
dividend, distribution and tax notices) to Customers; and providing such other
similar services as may be reasonably requested.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Each Portfolio will not:
(a) purchase more than 10% of any class of the outstanding voting
securities of any issuer;
(b) acquire any securities of companies within one industry if, as a
result of such acquisition, more than 25% of the value of the
Portfolio's total assets would be invested in securities of
companies within such industry; provided, however, that there
shall be no limitation on the purchase of obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, enterprises or
instrumentalities;
(c) pledge, mortgage, or hypothecate any of its assets to an extent
greater than 10% of its total assets at fair market value, except
as described in this Prospectus and the Statement of Additional
Information and in connection with entering into futures
contracts, but the deposit of assets in a segregated account in
connection with the writing of covered put and call options and
the purchase of securities on a when issued,
-20-
<PAGE>
delayed settlement or forward delivery basis and collateral
arrangements with respect to initial or variation margin for
futures contracts will not be deemed to be pledges of a
Portfolio's assets or the purchase of any securities on margin
for purposes of this investment limitation;
(d) issue senior securities except that a Portfolio may borrow money
in accordance with investment limitation (e), purchase securities
on a when issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery basis
and enter into reverse repurchase agreements; and
(e) borrow money except as a temporary measure for extraordinary or
emergency purposes, and then not in excess of 10% of its total
assets at the time of borrowing (entering into purchasing
securities on a when issued, delayed settlement or forward
delivery basis are not subject to this investment limitation).
Each Portfolio also will not:
(a) with respect to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of
its total assets at the time of purchase in the securities of any
single issuer (other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies, enterprises or instrumentalities).
If a percentage restriction for a Portfolio is adhered to at the time
an investment is made, a later increase in percentage resulting from a change in
value or assets will not constitute a violation of such restriction. If a
Portfolio's borrowings are in excess of 5% (excluding overdrafts) of its total
net assets, additional portfolio purchases will not be made until the amount of
such borrowing is reduced to 5% or less.
The investment limitations described here and in the SAI are
fundamental policies of the Portfolios and may be changed only with the approval
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares (as defined in the 1940
Act) of the affected Portfolio. In order to permit the sale of shares in certain
states, Glenmede Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the investment
policies and limitations described in this Prospectus and the SAI. Should
Glenmede Fund determine that any such commitment is no longer in the best
interest of Glenmede Fund, it will revoke the commitment by terminating sales of
its shares in the state involved.

Prospectus - February __, 1996
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The Glenmede Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Glenmede Fund"), and The
Glenmede Portfolios, a Massachusetts business trust ("Glenmede Portfolios" and
collectively with Glenmede Fund, the "Funds"), are no-load, open-end management
investment companies. The Funds currently offer 12 series of shares, each of
which has different investment objectives and policies. The securities offered
hereby are six of these series of shares (known as "Portfolios") of the Funds
listed below.
Government Cash Portfolio. The objective of the Government Cash Portfolio is to
provide maximum current interest income consistent with the preservation of
capital and liquidity. The Government Cash Portfolio seeks to achieve its
objective by investing primarily in short-term money market instruments issued
by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agencies, or other agencies, enterprises
or instrumentalities sponsored by the U.S. Government and by entering into
repurchase agreements secured thereby. It is anticipated that the Portfolio will
maintain a constant net asset value or price of $1.00 per share, and an average
weighted maturity of 90 days or less.
Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio. The objective of the Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio is to
provide maximum current interest income exempt from Federal income taxes
consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The Tax-Exempt Cash
Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in short-term,
high quality municipal securities ("Municipal Obligations"). It is anticipated
that the Portfolio will maintain a constant net asset value or price of $1.00
per share, and an average weighted maturity of 90 days or less.
Intermediate Government Portfolio. The objective of the Intermediate Government
Portfolio is to provide maximum, long-term total return consistent with
reasonable risk to principal. The Intermediate Government Portfolio seeks to
achieve its objective by investing primarily in mortgage-backed securities and
medium-term fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government
agencies, or other agencies, enterprises or instrumentalities sponsored by the
U.S. Government. The net asset value of this Portfolio will fluctuate.
Muni Intermediate Portfolio. The objective of the Muni Intermediate Portfolio is
to seek as high a level of current income exempt from Federal income tax as is
consistent with preservation of capital. The Muni Intermediate Portfolio seeks
to achieve its objective by investing primarily in Municipal Obligations. The
net asset value of this Portfolio will fluctuate.
New Jersey Muni Portfolio. The objective of the New Jersey Muni Portfolio is to
seek as high a level of current income exempt from Federal income tax as is
consistent with preservation of capital. The New Jersey Muni Portfolio seeks
to achieve its objective by investing primarily in Municipal Obligations. The
net asset value of this Portfolio will fluctuate.
International Fixed Income Portfolio. The objective of the International Fixed
Income Portfolio is to provide maximum long-term total return consistent with
reasonable risk to principal. The International Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to
achieve its objective by investing primarily in non-dollar denominated fixed
income securities, such as those issued by foreign governments and governmental
agencies and other agencies, enterprises or instrumentalities sponsored by
foreign governments. The net asset value of this Portfolio will fluctuate.
Total return consists of income (dividend and/or interest income from
portfolio securities) and capital gains and losses, both realized and
unrealized, from portfolio securities.
Shares of the Portfolios are subject to investment risks, including
possible loss of principal, are not bank deposits and are not endorsed by,
insured by, guaranteed by, obligations of or otherwise supported by the U.S.
Government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve
Board, The Glenmede Corporation or any of its affiliates or any governmental
agency or bank. There can be no assurance that the Government Cash or Tax-Exempt
Cash Portfolios will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per
share.

+ The Portfolios described in this prospectus do not pay any advisory fees to
The Glenmede Trust Company, the investment advisor of the Funds (the
"Advisor"), or its affiliates ("Affiliates"). However, investors in these
Portfolios must be clients of the Advisor or Affiliates. The "Maximum Annual
Client Fee" in the above table is the current maximum fee that the Advisor
or an Affiliate would charge its clients directly for fiduciary, trust
and/or advisory services (e.g., personal trust, estate, advisory, tax and
custodian services). The actual annual fees charged by the Advisor and its
Affiliates directly to their clients for such services vary depending on a
number of factors, including the particular services provided to the client,
but are generally under 1% of the client's assets under management.
Investors may also have to pay various fees to others to become clients of
the Advisor or an Affiliate. See "Investment Advisor."
The purpose of the above table is to assist an investor in
understanding the various estimated costs and expenses that an investor in a
Portfolio will bear directly or indirectly. Actual expenses may be greater or
lesser than such estimates. For further information concerning the Funds'
expenses see "Investment Advisor," "Administrative, Transfer Agency and Dividend
Paying Services" and "Board Members and Officers."
The following example illustrates the estimated Annual Portfolio
Operating Expenses that an investor would pay on a $1,000 investment over
various time periods assuming (i) a 5% annual rate of return and (ii) redemption
at the end of each time period. The example does not include fees for fiduciary
and investment services which investors pay the Advisor or Affiliates as
clients. See "Investment Advisor." As noted in the above table the Funds charge
no shareholder transaction expenses of any kind.

PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
From time to time, the Government Cash Portfolio and the Tax-Exempt
Cash Portfolio (each a "Cash Portfolio," collectively, the "Cash Portfolios")
may advertise or quote its "yield" and "effective yield." The "yield" of either
of the Cash Portfolios refers to the income generated by an investment in each
such Portfolio over a seven-day period (which period will be stated in the
advertisement or quote). This income is then "annualized." That is, the amount
of income generated by the investment during that week is assumed to be
generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the
investment. The "effective yield" is calculated similarly but, when annualized,
the income earned by an investment in such a Portfolio is assumed to be
reinvested. The "effective yield" will be slightly higher than the "yield"
because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
The Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and
International Fixed Income Portfolios may also advertise or quote yield data
from time to time. The yield of such Portfolios is computed based on the net
income of the Portfolio during a 30-day (or one-month) period, which period will
be identified in connection with the particular yield quotation. More
specifically, each such Portfolio's yield is computed by dividing the
Portfolio's net income per share during a 30-day (or one-month) period by the
maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period and annualizing
the result on a semi-annual basis.
The Tax-Exempt Cash, Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni Portfolios'
"tax-equivalent yields" may be advertised or quoted from time to time. The tax
equivalent yield shows the level of taxable yield needed to produce an after-tax
equivalent to each such Portfolio's tax-free yield. This is done by increasing
each such Portfolio's yield (calculated as above) by the amount necessary to
reflect the payment of Federal and/or State income tax at a stated tax rate.
Each of the Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni
and International Fixed Income Portfolios may advertise or quote total return
data from time to time. Total return will be calculated on an average annual
total return basis, and may also be calculated on an aggregate total return
basis, for various periods. Average annual total return reflects the average
annual percentage change in value of an investment in the particular Portfolio.
Aggregate total return reflects the total percentage change in value over the
measuring period. Both methods of calculating total return assume that dividend
and capital gains distributions made by the Portfolio during the period are
reinvested in additional Portfolio shares.
Each of the Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni
and International Fixed Income Portfolios may compare their total returns, and
their yields, to that of other investment companies with similar investment
objectives and to bond and other relevant indices such as those compiled by
Merrill Lynch, Salomon Brothers, Lehman Brothers or others or to rankings
prepared by independent services or other financial or industry publications
that monitor the performance of mutual funds. For example, the total return or
the yield of the Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni or
International Fixed Income Portfolios may be compared to data prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. Total return and yield data as reported in national
financial publications such as Money Magazine, Forbes, Barron's, The Wall Street
Journal and The New York Times, or in publications of a local or regional
nature, may also be used in comparing the performance of the Intermediate
Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni or International Fixed Income
Portfolios.
Performance quotations represent a Portfolio's past performance, and
should not be considered as indicative of future results. Since performance will
fluctuate, performance data for a Portfolio should not be used to compare an
investment in the Portfolio's shares with bank deposits, savings accounts and
similar investment alternatives which often provide an agreed or guaranteed
fixed yield/return for a stated period of time. Shareholders should remember
that performance is generally a function of the kind and quality of the
instruments held in a Portfolio, portfolio maturity, operating expenses and
market conditions. Any management fees charged by the Advisor or an Affiliate to
its respective clients will not be included in the Portfolio's calculations of
yield, effective yield, tax-equivalent yield or total return. See "Investment
Advisor."

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
The investment objective of each Portfolio is not fundamental and may
be changed by the particular Funds' Board members without shareholder approval.
GOVERNMENT CASH PORTFOLIO
The objective of the Government Cash Portfolio is to provide maximum
current interest income consistent with the preservation of capital and
liquidity. The Government Cash Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by
investing in short-term U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments issued
by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agencies, or other agencies, enterprises
or instrumentalities sponsored by the U.S. Government and by entering into
repurchase agreements secured thereby. During normal market conditions, the
Portfolio will invest at least 65% of its total assets in such instruments.
The Portfolio may invest in the following securities provided they are
"eligible securities," as defined below ("Eligible Securities"), which the
Advisor believes presents minimal credit risk at the time of purchase: (i)
straight-debt and mortgage-backed obligations issued by the U.S. Government or
its sponsored agencies, enterprises or instrumentalities; (ii) securities of
international institutions (Asian Development Bank, ExportImport Bank, Inter
American Development Bank, International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development, Government Trust Certificates, Private Export Funding Corp. and
Agency for International Development) which are not direct obligations of the
U.S. Government but which involve governmental agencies, instrumentalities or
enterprises (such investments will represent no more than 25% of the Portfolio's
total assets); and (iii) any publicly or privately placed, unrated securities
issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies, enterprises or instrumentalities,
including floating and variable rate securities, which, in the Advisor's
opinion, are equivalent in credit quality to securities rated AAA by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Group, Division of McGraw Hill ("S&P") or Aaa by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). The Portfolio will invest in securities
maturing within 13 months from the date of purchase, except that securities
collateralizing repurchase agreements may bear maturities exceeding 13 months,
and the Portfolio may also purchase bonds with longer final maturities if such
bonds pursuant to a demand feature provide for an earlier redemption date within
13 months from the date of purchase.
Obligations of certain agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S.
Government, such as the Government National Mortgage Association and the
Export-Import Bank of the United States, are supported by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. Treasury; others, such as those of the Federal National
Mortgage Association, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from
the Treasury; others, such as those of the Student Loan Marketing Association,
are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase
the agency's obligations; still others, such as those of the Federal Farm Credit
Banks or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, are supported only by the
credit of the instrumentality. No assurance can be given that the U.S.
Government would provide financial support to U.S. Government-sponsored agencies
or instrumentalities if it is not obligated to do so by law.
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies
and instrumentalities have historically involved little risk of loss of
principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates,
the market value of such securities may vary during the period a shareholder
owns shares of the Portfolio. See "Investment Policies -- Intermediate
Government Portfolio" for a description of obligations of certain agencies,
enterprises and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. Securities in which
the Government Cash Portfolio may invest may not earn as much income as longer
term and/or lower quality securities.
The Government Cash Portfolio will limit its purchases of any one
issuer's securities (other than U.S. Government securities) to 5% of the
Portfolio's total assets at the time of purchase, except that it may invest more
than 5% (but no more than 25%) of its total assets in First Tier Securities (as
defined below) of one issuer for a period of up to three business days. The
Portfolio will also limit its purchases of Second Tier Securities (Eligible
Securities which are not First Tier Securities) of one issuer to the greater of
1% of its total assets or $1 million. Eligible Securities are: (i) securities
(or their issuers) rated in one of the two highest rating categories of a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization (an "NRSRO"), provided
that if they are rated by more than one NRSRO, at least one other NRSRO rates
them in one of its two highest categories; and (ii) unrated securities
determined to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase. First Tier
Securities are: (i) securities (or issuers) rated in the highest rating category
by the only NRSRO rating them; (ii) securities (or their issuers) in the highest
rating category of at least two NRSROs, if more than one NRSRO has rated them;
-11-
<PAGE>
(iii) securities that have no short-term rating, but have been issued by an
issuer that has other outstanding short-term obligations that have been rated in
accordance with (i) or (ii) above and are comparable in priority and security to
such securities; and (iv) certain unrated securities that have been determined
to be of comparable quality to such securities.
For a description of other securities in which the Portfolio may
invest, see "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
TAX-EXEMPT CASH PORTFOLIO
The objective of the Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio is to provide maximum
current interest income exempt from Federal income taxes consistent with the
preservation of capital and liquidity. The Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio seeks to
achieve its objective by investing primarily in short-term, high quality
Municipal Obligations (defined below). Under normal circumstances, at least 80%
of the net assets of the Portfolio will be invested in Municipal Obligations,
the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel or the issuer's counsel,
is exempt from regular Federal income tax and does not constitute an item of tax
preference for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax ("Tax-Exempt
Interest"). Glenmede Fund will use its best efforts to not invest any of the
Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio's assets in Municipal Obligations the interest on
which constitutes an item of tax preference for purposes of the Federal
alternative minimum tax.
Municipal Obligations in which the Portfolio may invest include the
following, provided at the time of purchase they are Eligible Securities which
the Advisor believes presents minimal credit risk: project notes, demand notes,
short-term municipal obligations (including tax anticipation notes, revenue
anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, tax and revenue anticipation notes,
construction loan notes, and short-term discount notes) rated SP-1+ or SP-1 by
S&P or MIG-1 by Moody's; tax-exempt commercial paper rated A-1+ or A-1 by S&P or
Prime-1 by Moody's; municipal bonds with a remaining effective maturity of 13
months or less, rated AA or better by S&P or Aa or better by Moody's; variable
rate demand notes rated "VMIG-1" by Moody's; and any non-rated tax-exempt,
privately placed securities which, in the Advisor's opinion, are equivalent in
credit quality to an AA or Aa-rated security as determined by S&P or Moody's,
respectively.
The Portfolio will invest in securities maturing within 13 months from
the date of purchase, except that securities collateralizing repurchase
agreements may bear maturities exceeding 13 months; and the Portfolio may
purchase bonds with final maturities exceeding 13 months if such bonds pursuant
to a demand feature provide for an earlier redemption date within 13 months from
the date of purchase.
Municipal Obligations. The two principal classifications of Municipal
Obligations are "general obligation" securities and "revenue" securities.
General obligation securities are secured by the issuer's pledge of its full
faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest.
Revenue securities are payable only from the revenues derived from a particular
facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a
special or specific excise tax or other specific revenue source such as the user
of the facility being financed. Revenue securities include private activity
bonds which are not payable from the unrestricted revenues of the issuer.
Consequently, the credit quality of private activity bonds is usually directly
related to the credit standing of the corporate user of the facility involved.
Municipal Obligations may also include "moral obligation" bonds, which
are normally issued by special purpose public authorities. If the issuer of
moral obligation bonds is unable to meet its debt service obligations from
current revenues, it may draw on a reserve fund, the restoration of which is a
moral commitment but not a legal obligation of the state or municipality which
created the issuer.
Municipal Obligations may include variable rate demand notes, provided
they are Eligible Securities. Such notes are frequently not rated by credit
rating agencies, but unrated notes will be purchased by the Portfolio if they
are comparable in quality at the time of the purchase to rated Eligible
Securities as determined by the Advisor. Where necessary to ensure that a note
is an Eligible Security, the Portfolio will require that the issuer's obligation
to pay the principal of the note be backed by an unconditional bank letter or
line of credit, guarantee or commitment to lend. While there may be no active
secondary market with respect to a particular variable rate demand note
purchased by the Portfolio, the Portfolio may, upon the notice specified in the
note, demand payment of the principal of the note at any time or during
specified periods not exceeding 13 months, depending upon the instrument
involved. The absence of such an active secondary market, however, could make it
difficult for the Portfolio to dispose of a variable rate demand note if the
issuer defaulted on its payment obligation or during the periods that the
Portfolio is not entitled to exercise its demand rights. The Portfolio could,
-12-
<PAGE>
for this or other reasons, suffer a loss to the extent of the default. The
Portfolio invests in variable rate demand notes only when the Advisor deems the
investment to involve minimal credit risk. The Advisor also monitors the
continuing creditworthiness of issuers of such notes and parties providing
credit enhancement to determine whether the Portfolio should continue to hold
the notes.
For a further discussion of Municipal Obligations, see the Appendix to
the Statement of Additional Information.
For a description of other securities in which the Portfolio may
invest, see "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors."
INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
The objective of the Intermediate Government Portfolio is to provide
maximum, long-term total return consistent with reasonable risk to principal.
The Intermediate Government Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by
investing primarily in mortgage-backed securities and medium-term fixed income
securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government agencies, or other
agencies, enterprises or instrumentalities sponsored by the U.S. Government. The
Portfolio seeks to achieve consistent results over the long-term. While
portfolio securities will be traded, the Portfolio is not expected to engage in
active trading under normal circumstances. The net asset value of the Portfolio
will fluctuate, and it is anticipated that the Portfolio will maintain an
average weighted maturity of 3 to 10 years.
The Portfolio may invest in the following securities: (i) straight-debt
and mortgage-backed obligations issued by the U.S. Government or its sponsored
agencies, enterprises or instrumentalities; (ii) securities of international
institutions which are not direct obligations of the U.S. Government but which
involve governmental agencies, enterprises or instrumentalities; (iii) any other
publicly or privately placed, unrated securities issued by the U.S. Government,
its agencies, enterprises or instrumentalities, which, in the Advisor's opinion,
are equivalent in credit quality to securities rated AAA by S&P or Aaa by
Moody's; and (iv) mortgage-backed obligations which are privately issued with a
rating of at least AA by S&P or Aa by Moody's or which if unrated, are in the
Advisor's opinion equivalent in credit quality to either such rating. Any of the
above securities may be variable or floating rate. Under normal circumstances,
at least 65% of the Intermediate Government Portfolio's total assets will be
invested in U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements relating
thereto and no more than 35% of the value of its total assets will be invested
in the securities described in (ii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this
paragraph.
Mortgage-Backed Obligations. Mortgage-backed obligations represent an
ownership interest in a pool of residential mortgage loans, the interests in
which are issued and guaranteed by an agency or instrumentality of the U.S.
Government, though not necessarily by the U.S. Government itself.
One such type of mortgage-backed obligation in which the Portfolio may
invest is a Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") Certificate. GNMA
Certificates are backed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by
the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Another type is a Federal
National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") Certificate; the principal and interest
of which are guaranteed only by FNMA itself, not by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Government. Another type is a Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association
("FHLMC") Participation Certificate. This type of obligation is guaranteed by
FHLMC as to timely payment of principal and interest. However, like a FNMA
security, it is not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government. Another type is a privately issued obligation with a rating of at
least AA by S&P or Aa by Moody's or which if unrated, is in the Advisor's
opinion equivalent in credit quality to either such rating. Mortgage-backed
obligations issued by private issuers, whether or not such obligations are
subject to guarantees by the private issuer, may entail greater risk than
obligations directly or indirectly guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
Mortgage-backed obligations are characterized by monthly payments to
the security holder, reflecting the monthly payments, net of certain fees, made
by the mortgagors of the underlying mortgage loans. The payments to the security
holders (such as the Portfolio), similar to the payments on the underlying
loans, represent both principal and interest. Although the underlying mortgage
loans are for specified periods of time (such as thirty years) the borrowers
can, and typically do, repay them sooner. Thus, the security holders frequently
receive prepayments of principal, in addition to the principal which is part of
the regular monthly payments. A borrower is more likely to prepay a mortgage
which bears a relatively high rate of interest. Therefore, in times of declining
interest rates, some of the Portfolio's higher yielding securities might be
-13-
<PAGE>
repaid and thereby converted to cash and the Portfolio will be forced to accept
lower interest rates when that cash is used to purchase additional securities.
The Portfolio normally will not distribute principal payments (whether regular
or prepaid) to its shareholders. Interest received by the Portfolio will,
however, be distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends. For a further
discussion of mortgage-backed obligations, see the Appendix to the Statement of
Additional Information.
Although government-guaranteed or sponsored securities reduce credit
risk (the possibility that issuers of bonds will default on payments of interest
and principal), the Portfolio's shares are still subject to the risk of market
value fluctuations inherent in owning fixed income securities. The market value
of securities held by the Intermediate Government Portfolio is expected to vary
according to, among other factors, changes in prevailing interest rates and the
average weighted maturity of the Portfolio maintained by the Advisor. In
general, if interest rates increase from the time a fixed income investment is
made, the market value of that investment is likely to decline. Similarly, if
interest rates fall from the time a fixed income investment is made, the market
value of that investment is likely to increase. Also, in general, for a given
change in interest rates, a fixed income investment with a longer maturity is
likely to fluctuate more in market value than a comparable investment with a
shorter maturity. An investment in the Intermediate Government Portfolio is
expected to be subject to such market risks.
For a description of other securities in which the Intermediate
Government Portfolio may invest, see "Common Investment Policies and Risk
Factors."
MUNI INTERMEDIATE PORTFOLIO AND NEW JERSEY MUNI PORTFOLIO
The objective of each of the Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni
Portfolios is to seek as high a level of current income exempt from Federal
income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital. To the extent
possible, the Muni Intermediate Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by
investing primarily in intermediate and long-term Municipal Obligations issued
by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its political subdivisions, agencies,
instrumentalities and authorities ("Pennsylvania Municipal Obligations") and the
New Jersey Muni Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing
primarily in intermediate and long-term Municipal Obligations issued by the
State of New Jersey and its political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities
and authorities ("New Jersey Municipal Obligations"). Municipal Obligations
acquired by these Portfolios will be rated at the time of purchase within the
three highest ratings assigned by Moody's (i.e., Aaa, Aa, A) or by S&P (AAA, AA,
A) in the case of bonds, rated SP-1 or higher by S&P or MIG-2 or higher by
Moody's in the case of notes, rated A-1 or higher by S&P or Prime-1 or higher by
Moody's in the case of tax-exempt commercial paper or in unrated securities
determined by the Advisor at the time of purchase to be of comparable quality.
If a portfolio security is reduced below A by Moody's or S&P, the Advisor will
dispose of the security in an orderly fashion as soon as practicable. The Muni
Intermediate and New Jersey Muni Portfolios may not be able to achieve as high a
level of current income under all market conditions as would be possible if they
were permitted to invest in lower quality and longer term securities which,
however, generally are less liquid, have greater market risk and are generally
subject to more fluctuation of market value. See "Investment
Policies--Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio" for a description of Municipal Obligations
and the Appendix to the SAI for a description of Moody's and S&P's ratings.
To the extent possible, during normal market conditions at least 65% of
the net assets of the New Jersey Muni Portfolio will be invested in New Jersey
Municipal Obligations. It is anticipated that the New Jersey Portfolio and the
Muni Intermediate Portfolio will each maintain an average weighted maturity of
three to ten years.
During normal market conditions: up to 20% of each Portfolio's net
assets may be invested in securities which are not Municipal Obligations; and at
least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets will be invested in intermediate and
long-term Municipal Obligations, the interest on which is Tax-Exempt Interest.
Each of the Portfolios may invest up to 20% of its net assets in Municipal
Obligations, the interest on which is exempt from regular Federal income tax but
is an item of tax preference for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum
tax. During temporary defensive periods, each Portfolio may invest without
limitation in obligations which are not Municipal Obligations and may hold
without limitation uninvested cash reserves. Such securities may include,
without limitation, bonds, notes, variable rate demand notes and commercial
paper, provided such securities are rated within the relevant categories
applicable to Municipal Obligations set forth above, or if unrated, are of
comparable quality as determined by the Advisor and may also include, without
limitation, other debt obligations, such as bank obligations which are also of
comparable quality as determined by the Advisor. Each Portfolio may acquire
"stand-by commitments" with respect to Municipal Obligations held by it. Under a
-14-
<PAGE>
stand-by commitment, a dealer agrees to purchase, at the Portfolio's option,
specified Municipal Obligations at a specified price. The acquisition of a
stand-by commitment may increase the cost, and thereby reduce the yield, of the
Municipal Obligation to which such commitment relates. Each Portfolio will
acquire stand-by commitments solely to facilitate portfolio liquidity and does
not intend to exercise its rights thereunder for trading purposes.
Each Portfolio is classified as non-diversified under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Investment returns on a
non-diversified portfolio typically are dependent upon the performance of a
smaller number of securities relative to the number held in a diversified
portfolio. Consequently, the change in value of any one security may affect the
overall value of a non-diversified portfolio more than it would a diversified
portfolio. Additionally, a non-diversified portfolio may be more susceptible to
economic, political and regulatory developments than a diversified portfolio
with a similar objective.
Since each of the Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni Portfolios will
invest primarily in securities issued by issuers located in one state, each of
these Portfolios is susceptible to adverse changes in value due to changes in
the economic condition and governmental policies of that state and its political
subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. A comparable
municipal bond fund which is not concentrated in obligations issued by issuers
located in one state would be less susceptible to these risks. If any issuer of
securities held by one of these Portfolios is unable to meet its financial
obligations, that Portfolio's income, capital, and liquidity may be adversely
affected.
With respect to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, although the balance
in the General Fund of the Commonwealth (the principal operating fund of the
Commonwealth) declined to a zero balance at the close of fiscal 1989, and a
negative balance was experienced in fiscal 1990 and 1991, tax increases and
spending decreases helped return the General Fund balance to a surplus at June
30, 1992 of $87.5 million and at June 30, 1993 of $698.9 million. The deficit in
the Commonwealth's unreserved/undesignated funds of prior years was also
reversed to a surplus of $64.4 million as of June 30, 1993.
The concentration of investments by the New Jersey Muni Portfolio in
New Jersey Municipal Obligations also raises special investment considerations.
The State of New Jersey generally has a diversified economic base consisting of,
among others, commerce and service industries, selective commercial agriculture,
insurance, tourism, petroleum refining and manufacturing, although New Jersey's
manufacturing industry has shown a downward trend in the last few years. New
Jersey is a major recipient of Federal assistance and, of all the states, is
among the highest in the amount of Federal aid received. Therefore, a decrease
in Federal financial assistance may adversely affect New Jersey's financial
condition. While New Jersey's economic base has become more diversified over
time and thus its economy appears to be less vulnerable during recessionary
periods, a recurrence of high levels of unemployment could adversely affect New
Jersey's overall economy and its ability to meet its financial obligations. In
addition, because New Jersey maintains a balanced budget which restricts total
appropriation increases to only 5% annually to any municipality or county, the
balanced budget plan may actually adversely affect a particular municipality's
or county's ability to repay its obligations.
See "Common Investment Policies and Risk Factors" for a description of
other investment policies.
INTERNATIONAL FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
The objective of the International Fixed Income Portfolio is to provide
maximum long-term total return consistent with reasonable risk to principal.
The International Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by
investing primarily in non-dollar denominated fixed income securities. The
Portfolio will primarily invest in fixed income securities denominated in
foreign currencies, including the European Currency Unit ("ECU"), which are
issued by foreign governments and governmental agencies, and other agencies,
enterprises or instrumentalities sponsored by foreign governments. The Advisor
will seek opportunities for investment return in securities denominated in
currencies it believes to be undervalued. The Portfolio is expected to invest in
securities in a number of foreign countries, which may include but are not
limited to, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, the
Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. The Portfolio will
invest an aggregate of at least 65% of its total assets in the fixed income
securities of at least three countries other than the United States. The net
asset value of the Portfolio will fluctuate.
-15-
<PAGE>
The Portfolio may invest in the following securities: (i) debt
obligations issued or guaranteed by foreign national governments, their
agencies, instrumentalities, or political subdivisions (including any security
of an entity which is majority owned by such government, agency, instrumentality
or political subdivision) and (ii) debt securities issued or guaranteed by
supranational organizations established or supported by more than one national
government, including but not limited to, the World Bank, the European
Investment Bank, European Union and the Asian Development Bank. The Portfolio
may also invest in obligations of the U.S. Government and its guaranteed or
sponsored agencies, including shares of open-end or closed-end investment
companies which invest in such obligations exclusively (such shares will be
purchased within the limits prescribed by the 1940 Act); short-term money market
instruments issued in the U.S. or abroad, denominated in dollars or any foreign
currency, including short-term certificates of deposit (including variable rate
certificates of deposit), time deposits with a maturity no greater than 180
days, bankers acceptances, commercial paper rated A-1 by S&P or Prime-1 by
Moody's, or in equivalent money market securities; and other high quality fixed
income securities denominated in U.S. dollars, any foreign currency, or a
multi-national currency unit such as the ECU. The Portfolio invests in high
grade debt securities. The Portfolio's investments will consist of securities
rated at least AA by S&P or Aa by Moody's, or if unrated, securities which, in
the Advisor's opinion, are equivalent in credit quality to securities so rated.
The Portfolio may also invest in interest rate swaps, caps and floors. See
"Investment Objectives and Policies -- Interest Rate Transactions" in the SAI.
The International Fixed Income Portfolio may also enter into forward
foreign currency exchange contracts only in order to hedge against uncertainty
in the level of future foreign exchange rates in the purchase and sale of
investment securities; it may not enter into such contracts for speculative
purposes. A forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an obligation to
purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed
number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a
price set at the time of the contract. These contracts may be bought or sold to
protect the Portfolio, to some degree, against a possible loss resulting from an
adverse change in the relationship between foreign currencies and the U.S.
dollar. It should be realized that this method of protecting the value of the
Portfolio's investment securities against a decline in the value of a currency
does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. It
simply establishes a rate of exchange at some future point in time.
Additionally, although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a
decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they tend to limit
any potential gain which might result should the value of such currency
increase.
The International Fixed Income Portfolio may utilize futures contracts,
options and options on futures contracts as a hedge against changes resulting
from market conditions and exchange rates in the values of the securities held
in that Portfolio of which it intends to purchase or if the Portfolio's
aggregate initial margins and premiums required in connection with new hedging
positions do not exceed 5% of its net asset value. The Portfolio would not
utilize futures contracts, options or options on futures contracts unless the
transactions are economically appropriate for the reduction of risks inherent in
the ongoing management of the Portfolio. The International Fixed Income
Portfolio may write covered calls (options on securities owned by the Portfolio)
and enter into closing purchase transactions with respect to such options. Also,
the Portfolio may enter into futures contracts and options on futures contracts
only to the extent that not more than 20% of the Portfolio's assets are invested
in such instruments. The International Fixed Income Portfolio may engage in
futures and options transactions only if it is consistent with its investment
objectives and policies.
Entering into futures contracts and trading options are highly
specialized activities which entail greater than ordinary investment risks. To
enter into a futures contract, the Portfolio must make a deposit of initial
margin with its custodian in a segregated account in the name of its futures
broker. Subsequent payments to or from the broker, called variation margin, will
be made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying security or index
fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contracts more or
less valuable.
A call option for a particular security gives the purchaser of the
option the right to buy, and a writer the obligation to sell, the underlying
security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the
option, regardless of the market price of the security. The premium paid to the
writer is in consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option
contract. A put option for a particular security gives the purchaser the right
to sell the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time prior
to the expiration date of the option, regardless of the market price of the
security. In contrast to an option on a particular security, an option on an
index provides the holder with the right to make or receive a cash settlement
upon exercise of the option. The amount of this settlement will be equal to the
difference between the closing price of the index at the time of exercise and
the exercise price of the option expressed in dollars, times a specified
multiple.
-16-
<PAGE>
The Portfolio may use over-the-counter bond options through any dealer
or dealer bank which the Advisor determines is creditworthy for outright
purchases and sales of securities. To the extent that over-the-counter bond
options are determined to be illiquid, the Portfolio will not purchase such
options if such purchase will cause the Portfolio's investments in all illiquid
securities to exceed 10% of its total assets.
The risks associated with the use of futures and options include: (i)
imperfect correlation between changes in the price of the securities being
hedged and the prices of futures and options relating to such securities; (ii)
possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a futures contract or option, and
the resulting inability to close a futures position which could have an adverse
impact on the Portfolio's ability to hedge, and (iii) losses due to
unanticipated market movements. The risk of loss in trading futures contracts in
some strategies can be substantial, due both to the low margin deposits
required, and the extremely high degree of leverage involved in futures pricing.
As a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result
in immediate and substantial loss or gain to the investor. Thus, a purchase or
sale of a futures contract may result in losses or gains in excess of the amount
invested in the contract. In contrast, purchasing options entails a risk of a
complete loss of the amounts paid as premiums to the writer of the options. In
addition, by writing a covered call option, the Portfolio forgoes the
opportunity to profit from an increase in the market price of the underlying
security above the exercise price except insofar as the premium represents such
a profit. The Portfolio will not be able to sell the underlying security until
the covered call option expires or is exercised or the Portfolio effects a
closing purchase transaction by purchasing an option of the same series. For a
further discussion of futures contracts and options, see "Investment Objectives
and Policies -- Futures Contracts" in the SAI.
The Portfolio is classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act.
Investment returns on a non-diversified portfolio typically are dependent upon
the performance of a smaller number of securities relative to the number held in
a diversified portfolio. Consequently, the change in value of any one security
may affect the overall value of a non-diversified portfolio more than it would a
diversified portfolio. Additionally, a non-diversified portfolio may be more
susceptible to economic, political and regulatory developments than a
diversified portfolio with a similar objective.
Because the Portfolio invests significantly in securities denominated
in foreign currencies, movements in foreign currency exchange rates versus the
U.S. dollar are likely to impact the Portfolio's share price stability relative
to domestic income funds. Fluctuation in foreign currencies can have a positive
or negative impact on returns. Normally, to the extent that the Portfolio
invested in foreign securities, a weakening in the U.S. dollar relative to the
foreign currencies underlying the Portfolio's investments should help increase
the net asset value of the Portfolio. Conversely, a strengthening in the U.S.
dollar versus the foreign currencies in which the Portfolio's securities are
denominated will generally lower the net asset value of the Portfolio. The
Advisor attempts to minimize exchange rate risk through active portfolio
management and efforts to identify risk from the Portfolio's holdings. Investors
should recognize that investing in the securities of foreign companies and the
utilization of forward foreign currency contracts involve special risks and
considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These
risks and considerations include differences in accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards, generally higher commission rates on foreign
portfolio transactions, the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory
taxation, adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations,
political instability which could affect U.S. investment in foreign countries
and potential restrictions on the flow of international capital. Moreover, the
dividends payable on the Portfolio's foreign portfolio securities may be subject
to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing the net amount of income available
for distribution to the Portfolio's shareholders. Further, foreign securities
often trade with less frequency and volume than domestic securities and,
therefore, may exhibit greater price volatility.
COMMON INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
There can be no assurance that any of the Portfolios will achieve its
stated investment objective. There are a number of investment policies common to
each of the Portfolios.
-17-
<PAGE>
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with qualified
brokers, dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed creditworthy by
the Advisor. Under normal circumstances, however, each of the Intermediate
Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and International Fixed Income
Portfolios will not enter into repurchase agreements if entering into such
agreements would cause, at the time of entering into such agreements, more than
20% of the value of the total assets of the particular Portfolio to be subject
to repurchase agreements. The International Fixed Income Portfolio would
generally enter into repurchase transactions to invest cash reserves.
In a repurchase agreement, a Portfolio purchases a security and
simultaneously commits to resell that security at a future date to the seller (a
qualified bank or securities dealer) at an agreed upon price plus an agreed upon
market rate of interest (itself unrelated to the coupon rate or date of maturity
of the purchased security). The securities held subject to a repurchase
agreement may have stated maturities exceeding 13 months, provided that with
respect to the Cash Portfolios, the repurchase agreement itself matures in less
than 13 months. The Advisor currently expects that repurchase agreements with
respect to the Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and
International Fixed Income Portfolios also will mature in less than 13 months.
The seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to maintain the value
of the securities subject to the agreement at not less than 101% of the
repurchase price including accrued interest. The Funds' administrator will mark
to market daily the value of the securities purchased, and the Advisor will, if
necessary, require the seller to deposit additional securities to ensure that
the value is in compliance with the 101% requirement stated above. The Advisor
will consider the creditworthiness of a seller in determining whether a
Portfolio should enter into a repurchase agreement, and the Portfolios will only
enter into repurchase agreements with banks and dealers which are determined to
present minimal credit risk by the Advisor under procedures adopted by the Board
members.
In effect, by entering into a repurchase agreement, a Portfolio is
lending its funds to the seller at the agreed upon interest rate, and receiving
a security as collateral for the loan. Such agreements can be entered into for
periods of one day (overnight repo) or for a fixed term (term repo). Repurchase
agreements are a common way to earn interest income on short-term funds.
The use of repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For example,
if the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase
the underlying securities at a time when the value of these securities has
declined, a Portfolio may incur a loss upon disposition of them. Default by the
seller would also expose a Portfolio to possible loss because of delays in
connection with the disposition of the underlying obligations. If the seller of
an agreement becomes insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization
under the Bankruptcy Code or other laws, a bankruptcy court may determine that
the underlying securities are collateral not within the control of a Portfolio
and therefore subject to sale by the trustee in bankruptcy. Further, it is
possible that a Portfolio may not be able to substantiate its interest in the
underlying securities.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Government Cash and Intermediate Government Portfolios may enter
into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement a
Portfolio sells a security and simultaneously commits to repurchase that
security at a future date from the buyer. In effect, the Portfolio is
temporarily borrowing funds at an agreed upon interest rate from the purchaser
of the security, and the sale of the security represents collateral for the
loan. The Portfolio retains record ownership of the security and the right to
receive interest and principal payments on the security. At an agreed upon
future date, the Portfolio repurchases the security by remitting the proceeds
previously received, plus interest. In certain types of agreements, there is no
agreed upon repurchase date and interest payments are calculated daily, often
based on the prevailing overnight repurchase rate. These agreements, which are
treated as if reestablished each day, are expected to provide the Government
Cash Portfolio and the Intermediate Government Portfolio with a flexible
borrowing tool. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by
a Portfolio under the 1940 Act.
A Portfolio's investment of the proceeds of a reverse repurchase
agreement is the speculative factor known as leverage. The Portfolio may enter
into a reverse repurchase agreement only if the interest income from investment
of the proceeds is greater than the interest expense of the transaction and the
proceeds are invested for a period no longer than the term of the agreement. A
Portfolio will maintain with the custodian a separate account with a segregated
portfolio of liquid securities at least equal to its purchase obligations
-18-
<PAGE>
under these agreements. The Advisor will consider the creditworthiness of the
other party in determining whether a Portfolio will enter into a reverse
repurchase agreement.
Under normal circumstances each of the Government Cash and Intermediate
Government Portfolios will not enter into reverse repurchase agreements if
entering into such agreements would cause, at the time of entering into such
agreements, more than 10% of the value of its total assets to be subject to such
agreements.
The use of reverse repurchase agreements involves certain risks. For
example, the other party to the agreement may default on its obligation or
become insolvent and unable to deliver the securities to the Portfolio at a time
when the value of the securities has increased. Reverse repurchase agreements
also involve the risk that a Portfolio may not be able to substantiate its
interest in the underlying securities.
BORROWING
Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a "when issued," "delayed
settlement" or "forward delivery" basis, and the Government Cash and
Intermediate Government Portfolios may enter into reverse repurchase agreements.
As a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, a Portfolio may
borrow money from banks. However, none of the Portfolios will borrow money for
speculative purposes. See "Common Investment Policies--`When Issued,' `Delayed
Settlement,' `Forward Delivery Securities' and `Reverse Repurchase Agreements.'
"
LENDING OF SECURITIES
Each Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities with a value of up to
one-third of its total assets to qualified brokers, dealers, banks and other
financial institutions for the purpose of realizing additional net investment
income through the receipt of interest on the loan. Such loans would involve
risks of delay in receiving additional collateral in the event the value of the
collateral decreased below the value of the securities loaned or of delay in
recovering the securities loaned or even loss of rights in the collateral should
the borrower of the securities fail financially. Loans will be made only to
borrowers deemed by the Advisor to be of good standing.
MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS
The Tax-Exempt Cash, Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni Portfolios
may each invest 25% or more of its net assets in Municipal Obligations, the
interest on which is paid solely from revenues of similar projects, and may
invest up to 20% of its total assets in private activity bonds when added
together with any taxable investments held by the Portfolio when, in the
opinion of the Advisor, the investment is warranted. To the extent a Portfolio's
assets are invested in Municipal Obligations payable from the revenues of
similar projects or are invested in private activity bonds, the particular
Portfolio will be subject to the peculiar risks presented by the laws and
economic conditions relating to such projects and bonds to a greater extent than
it would be if its assets were not so invested.
"WHEN ISSUED," "DELAYED SETTLEMENT" AND "FORWARD DELIVERY" SECURITIES
The Portfolios may purchase and sell securities on a "when issued,"
"delayed settlement" or "forward delivery" basis. "When issued" or "forward
delivery" refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for
which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. When
issued or forward delivery transactions may be expected to occur one month or
more before delivery is due. Delayed settlement is a term used to describe
settlement of a securities transaction in the secondary market which will occur
sometime in the future. No payment or delivery is made by a Portfolio in a when
issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery transaction until the Portfolio
receives payment or delivery from the other party to the transaction. A
Portfolio will maintain a separate account of cash, U.S. Government securities
or other high grade debt obligations at least equal to the value of purchase
commitments until payment is made. Such segregated securities will either mature
or, if necessary, be sold on or before the settlement date. Although a Portfolio
receives no income from the above described securities prior to delivery, the
market value of such securities is still subject to change. A Portfolio receives
no income from "when issued," "delayed settlement" or "forward delivery"
securities prior to delivery of such securities.
-19-
<PAGE>
A Portfolio will engage in when issued transactions to obtain what is
considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of the transaction.
When a Portfolio engages in when issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery
transactions, it will do so for the purpose of acquiring securities consistent
with its investment objective and policies and not for the purpose of
speculation. Each Portfolio's when issued, delayed settlement and forward
delivery commitments are not expected to exceed 25% of its total assets absent
unusual market circumstances, and each Portfolio will only sell securities on
such a basis to offset securities purchased on such a basis.
INVESTMENT COMPANY SECURITIES
In connection with the management of their daily cash positions, the
Portfolios may each invest in securities issued by other open-end investment
companies with investment objectives and policies that are consistent with those
of the investing portfolio. Each Portfolio limits its investments so that, as
determined immediately after a securities purchase is made: (a) not more than 5%
of the value of its total assets will be invested in the securities of any one
investment company; (b) not more than 10% of the value of its total assets will
be invested in the aggregate in the securities of investment companies as a
group; and (c) not more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one
investment company will be owned by the Portfolio. As a shareholder of another
investment company, the Portfolio would bear its pro rata portion of the other
investment company's advisory fees and other expenses, in addition to the
expenses the Portfolio bears directly in connection with its own operations.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES
No Portfolio will invest more than 10% of its net assets in securities
that are illiquid.
ELIGIBLE INSTRUMENTS--GOVERNMENT CASH AND INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIOS
During periods when federally chartered credit unions beneficially own
shares of the Government Cash and Intermediate Government Portfolios, those
Portfolios intend to observe limitations imposed under the National Credit Union
Administration Rules and Regulations ("NCUA Regulations") governing eligible
investments for federally chartered credit unions. Accordingly, during those
periods, unless the laws, rules or regulations governing eligible investments
for federally chartered credit unions are changed to permit such investments,
those Portfolios intend not to invest in, among other investments: Government
Trust Certificates; World Bank Obligations; securities of the Asian Development
Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank; the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development; obligations of certain U.S. government
enterprises and instrumentalities investment in which is not provided for by the
Federal Credit Union Act; futures contracts; or options; and intend to observe
limitations imposed under NCUA Regulations on investment in certain types of
mortgage-related securities. With respect to collateralized mortgage obligations
("CMOs") and real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"), the
Portfolios, in accordance with NCUA Regulations, will not invest in any CMO or
REMIC that does not pass the average life, average life sensitivity and price
sensitivity tests of the NCUA's "high-risk security" test, unless the purchase
is made solely to reduce interest rate risk or the instrument is subject to the
next sentence. The average life and average life sensitivity tests do not apply
to a floating or adjustable rate CMO or REMIC, irrespective of whether it has
been purchased to reduce interest rate risk, if (a) the interest rate is reset
at least annually, (b) the interest rate is below the contractual cap of the
instrument at the time of purchase or a subsequent testing date, (c) the index
upon which the interest rate is based is a widely-used market interest rate
index such as the London Interbank Offered Rate and (d) the interest rate of the
instrument varies directly (not inversely) with the index upon which it is based
and is not reset as a multiple of the change in the index.
Additionally, during periods when Massachusetts state-chartered credit
unions beneficially own shares of the Government Cash or Intermediate Government
Portfolios, those Portfolios intend to observe limitations imposed under
Massachusetts General Laws regarding eligible investments for Massachusetts
state-chartered credit unions. Accordingly, during those periods, unless the
laws governing eligible investments for Massachusetts state-chartered credit
unions are changed to permit such investments, those Portfolios intend not to
invest in obligations of certain U.S. Government agencies, enterprises and
instrumentalities such as the Student Loan Marketing Association, the investment
in which is not permitted under Massachusetts law.

<PAGE>
Unless specified above and except as described under "Investment
Limitations," the foregoing investment policies are not fundamental, and the
particular Funds' Board members may change such policies without shareholder
approval.
-----------------------
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Shares of each Portfolio are sold without a sales commission on a
continuous basis to the Advisor acting on behalf of its or an Affiliate's
clients ("Clients") and to other institutions (the "Institutions"), at the net
asset value per share next determined after receipt of the purchase order by the
transfer agent. See "Valuation of Shares." The minimum initial investment for
each Portfolio is $25,000; the minimum for subsequent investments for each
Portfolio is $1,000. Each Fund reserves the right to reduce or waive the minimum
initial and subsequent investment requirements from time to time. Beneficial
ownership of shares will be reflected on books maintained by the Advisor or the
Institutions. A prospective investor wishing to purchase shares in any of the
Funds should contact the Advisor or his or her Institution.
It is the responsibility of the Advisor to transmit orders for share
purchases to Investment Company Capital Corp. ("ICC"), the Funds' transfer
agent, and deliver required funds to The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., Brooklyn,
New York, the Funds' custodian, on a timely basis. Shares purchased in the Cash
Portfolios before 12:00 noon (Eastern time) begin earning dividends on the same
business day provided Federal funds are available to the particular Portfolio
before 12:00 noon (Eastern time) that day.
Each of the Funds reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
suspend the offering of shares of its Portfolios or reject purchase orders when,
in the judgment of management, such suspension or rejection is in the best
interests of the Fund.
Purchases of a Portfolio's shares will be made in full and fractional
shares of the Portfolio calculated to three decimal places. In the interest of
economy and convenience, certificates for shares will not be issued except upon
the written request of the shareholder. Certificates for fractional shares,
however, will not be issued.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of each Portfolio may be redeemed at any time, without cost, at
the net asset value of the Portfolio next determined after receipt of the
redemption request by the transfer agent. Generally, a properly signed written
request is all that is required. Any redemption may be more or less than the
purchase price of the shares depending on the market value of the investment
securities held by the Portfolio. An investor wishing to redeem shares should
contact the Advisor or his or her Institution. It is the responsibility of the
Advisor to transmit promptly redemption orders to the transfer agent.
Payment of the redemption proceeds will ordinarily be made within one
business day, but in no event more than seven days, after receipt of the order
in proper form by the transfer agent. Redemption orders are effected at net
asset value per share next determined after receipt of the order in proper form
by the transfer agent. Each of the Funds may suspend the right of redemption
or postpone the date of payment at times when the New York Stock Exchange (the
"Exchange") is closed, or under any emergency circumstances as determined by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). See "Valuation of Shares"
for the days on which the Exchange is closed.
If the particular Board determines that it would be detrimental to the
best interests of the remaining shareholders of the particular Fund to make
payment wholly or partly in cash, the Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in
whole or in part by a distribution in-kind of securities held by a Portfolio in
lieu of cash in conformity with applicable rules of the Commission. Investors
may incur brokerage charges on the sale of portfolio securities received as a
redemption in kind.
Each of the Funds reserves the right, upon 30 days' written notice,
to redeem an account in any of the Portfolios if the net asset value of the
account's shares falls below $100 and is not increased to at least such amount
within such 30-day period.
-21-
<PAGE>
VALUATION OF SHARES
The net asset value of the Portfolios is determined by dividing the
total market value of each Portfolio's investments and other assets, less any
liabilities of that Portfolio, by the total outstanding shares of that
Portfolio. For the Cash Portfolios, net asset value per share is determined as
of 12:00 noon (Eastern time) on each day that the Exchange is open for business
(an "Exchange Business Day"). Currently the Exchange is closed on weekends and
the customary national business holidays of New Year's Day, Presidents' Day,
Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day (or the days on which they are observed). For the Intermediate
Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and International Fixed Income
Portfolios, net asset value per share is determined as of the close of regular
trading hours of the Exchange on each Exchange Business Day on which the
Portfolio receives an order to purchase or redeem its shares. One or more
pricing services may be used to provide securities valuations in connection with
the determination of the net asset value of each Portfolio.
GOVERNMENT CASH AND TAX-EXEMPT CASH PORTFOLIOS
For the purpose of calculating each Cash Portfolio's net asset value
per share, securities are valued by the "amortized cost" method of valuation,
which does not take into account unrealized gains or losses. The amortized cost
method involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the
impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument.
While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods
during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the
price the Portfolio would receive if it sold the instrument.
The use of amortized cost and the maintenance of each Portfolio's per
share net asset value at $1.00 is based on its election to operate under the
provisions of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. As a condition of operating under
that rule, each Cash Portfolio must maintain an average weighted maturity of 90
days or less, purchase only instruments deemed to have remaining maturities of
13 months or less, and invest only in securities which are determined by the
Advisor, pursuant to procedures established by the Board, to present minimal
credit risks and which are Eligible Securities, pursuant to procedures
established by the Board.
The Board has established procedures reasonably designed to stabilize
the net asset value per share for the purposes of sales and redemptions at
$1.00. These procedures include daily review of the relationship between the
amortized cost value per share and a net asset value per share based upon
available indications of market value.
In the event of a deviation of over 1/2 of 1% between a Cash
Portfolio's net asset value based upon available market quotations or market
equivalents and $1.00 per share based on amortized cost, the Board members will
promptly consider what action, if any, should be taken. The Board members will
also take such action as they deem appropriate to eliminate or to reduce to the
extent reasonably practicable any material dilution or other unfair results
which might arise from differences between the two. Such action may include
redemption in kind, selling instruments prior to maturity to realize capital
gains or losses or to shorten the average weighted maturity, exercising puts,
withholding dividends, paying distributions from capital or capital gains or
utilizing a net asset value per share as determined by using available market
quotations.
The net asset value per share of each Cash Portfolio will ordinarily
remain at $1.00, but each Cash Portfolio's daily dividends will vary in amount.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Cash Portfolios will maintain a
constant net asset value per share of $1.00.
INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO
Bonds and other fixed income securities are valued according to the
broadest and most representative market, which will ordinarily be the
over-the-counter market, at the most recent quoted bid price, or when stock
exchange valuations are used, at the latest quoted sale price on the day of
valuation. If there is not such a reported sale, the latest quoted bid price
will be used. Net asset value includes interest on fixed income securities which
is accrued daily. In addition, bond and other fixed income securities may be
valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service when the Advisor
believes such prices reflect the fair market value of such securities. The
prices provided by a pricing service are determined without regard to bid or
last sale prices but take into account institutional size trading in similar
groups of securities and any developments related to specific securities. Debt
securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
-22-
<PAGE>
amortized cost, pursuant to which (i) such securities shall be valued initially
at cost on the date of purchase or, in the case of securities purchased with
more than 60 days maturity, at their market or fair value on the 61st day prior
to maturity, and (ii) thereafter (absent unusual circumstances), a constant
proportionate amortization of any discount or premium shall be assumed until
maturity of the security.
The value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are
readily available (including restricted securities) is determined in good faith
at fair value using methods determined by the Board.
MUNI INTERMEDIATE AND NEW JERSEY MUNI PORTFOLIOS
Municipal Obligations for which quotations are readily available are
valued at the most recent quoted bid price provided by investment dealers,
provided that Municipal Obligations may be valued on the basis of prices
provided by a pricing service when such prices are determined by the
administrator to reflect the fair market value of such Municipal Obligations.
Municipal Obligations for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by or under the
direction of the particular Board. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of
60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, pursuant to which (i)
such securities are valued initially at cost on the date of purchase or, in the
case of securities purchased with more than 60 days maturity, at their market or
fair value on the 61st day prior to maturity, and (ii) thereafter (absent
unusual circumstances), a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or
premium shall be assumed until maturity of the security.
INTERNATIONAL FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO
Bonds and other fixed income securities are valued according to the
broadest and most representative market, which will ordinarily be the
over-the-counter market, at the most recent quoted bid price. Securities that
are primarily traded on U.S. or foreign exchanges (including securities traded
through the National Market System) are valued at the last quoted sale price on
the day of valuation. If there is no such reported sale, the latest quoted bid
price will be used. Net asset value includes interest on fixed income securities
which is accrued daily.
In addition, bond and other fixed income securities may be valued on
the basis of prices provided by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such
prices reflect the fair market value of such securities. The prices provided by
a pricing service are determined without regard to bid or last sale prices but
take into account institutional size trading in similar groups of securities and
any developments related to specific securities. Debt securities with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, pursuant to which
(i) such securities shall be valued initially at cost on the date of purchase
or, in the case of securities purchased with more than 60 days maturity, at
their market or fair value on the 61st day prior to maturity, and (ii)
thereafter (absent unusual circumstances), a constant proportionate amortization
of any discount or premium shall be assumed until maturity of the security.
The value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are
readily available (including restricted securities) is determined in good faith
at fair value using methods determined by the Board. Foreign currency amounts
are translated into U.S. dollars at the bid prices of such currencies against
U.S. dollars last quoted by a major bank.
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS
The Portfolios have the following dividend and capital gains policies:
(a) The Cash Portfolios declare dividends daily and normally
distribute substantially all of their net investment income to
shareholders monthly.
(b) The International Fixed Income Portfolio normally distributes
substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders
in the form of a quarterly dividend.
(c) The Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate and New Jersey
Muni Portfolios normally will distribute substantially all of
their net investment income to shareholders in the form of
monthly dividends.
-23-
<PAGE>
If any net capital gains are realized, the Portfolios normally
distribute such gains at least once a year. However, see "Dividends, Capital
Gains Distributions and Taxes--Federal Taxes--Miscellaneous," for a discussion
of the Federal excise tax applicable to certain regulated investment companies.
Undistributed net investment income is included in a Portfolio's net
assets for the purpose of calculating net asset value per share. Therefore, on
the Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and
International Fixed Income Portfolios' "ex-dividend" date, the net asset value
per share excludes the dividend (i.e., is reduced by the per share amount of the
dividend). Dividends paid shortly after the purchase of shares of the
Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and International
Fixed Income Portfolios by an investor, although in effect a return of capital,
are taxable to the investor.
FEDERAL TAXES
Each Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company"
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Such
qualification relieves a Portfolio of liability for Federal income taxes to the
extent its earnings are distributed in accordance with the Code.
Taxable Portfolios. Qualification as a regulated investment company
under the Code for a taxable year requires, among other things, that a taxable
Portfolio distribute to its shareholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its
investment company taxable income and 90% of its net exempt interest income (if
any) for such taxable year. In general, a Portfolio's investment company taxable
income will be its net investment income, including interest and dividends,
subject to certain adjustments, and net short-term capital gains and excluding
the excess of any net long-term capital gain for the taxable year over the net
short-term capital loss, if any, for such year. Each Portfolio intends to
distribute as dividends substantially all of its investment company taxable
income each year. Such dividends will be taxable as ordinary income to each
Portfolio's shareholders who are not currently exempt from Federal income taxes,
whether such income or gain is received in cash or reinvested in additional
shares. The dividends received deduction for corporations will apply to such
ordinary income distributions to the extent the total qualifying dividends
received by a Portfolio are from domestic corporations for the taxable year. It
is anticipated that none of the dividends paid by the Government Cash and
Intermediate Government Portfolios, and only a small part (if any) of the
dividends paid by the International Fixed Income Portfolio will be eligible for
the dividends received deduction.
Substantially all of each Portfolio's net realized long-term capital
gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually to its shareholders. A
Portfolio generally will have no tax liability with respect to such gains and
the distributions will be taxable to the shareholders who are not currently
exempt from Federal income taxes as long-term capital gains, regardless of how
long the shareholders have held the shares and whether such gains are received
in cash or reinvested in additional shares.
With respect to shares of the Intermediate Government, Muni
Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and International Fixed Income Portfolios, a
shareholder considering buying shares of a fund on or just before the record
date of a dividend should be aware that the amount of the forthcoming dividend
payment, although in effect a return of capital, will be taxable.
A taxable gain or loss may be realized by a shareholder upon redemption
or transfer of shares of the Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New
Jersey Muni and International Fixed Income Portfolios, depending upon the tax
basis of such shares and their price at the time of redemption or transfer.
International Fixed Income Portfolio. It is expected that dividends and
certain interest income earned by the International Fixed Income Portfolio from
foreign securities will be subject to foreign withholding taxes or other taxes.
So long as more than 50% of the value of the Portfolio's total assets at the
close of any taxable year consists of stock or securities of foreign
corporations, the Portfolio may elect, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, to
treat certain foreign taxes paid by it, including generally any withholding
taxes and other foreign income taxes, as paid by its shareholders. If the
Portfolio makes this election, the amount of such foreign taxes paid by the
Portfolio will be included in its shareholders' income pro rata (in addition to
taxable distributions actually received by them), and each shareholder will be
entitled (a) to credit his proportionate amount of such taxes against his U.S.
Federal income tax liabilities, or (b) if he itemizes his deductions, to deduct
such proportionate amount from his U.S. income.
Tax-Exempt Cash, Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni Portfolios.
Exempt-interest dividends may be treated by shareholders as items of interest
excludable from their gross income under Section 103(a) of the Code, unless
-24-
<PAGE>
under the circumstances applicable to the particular shareholder the exclusion
would be disallowed. (See "Additional Information Concerning Taxes" in the SAI.)
Distributions of net income may be taxable to investors under state or local law
as dividend income even though a substantial portion of such distributions may
be derived from interest on tax-exempt obligations which, if realized directly,
would be exempt from such income taxes.
If the Portfolio should hold certain private activity bonds issued
after August 7, 1986, shareholders must include, as an item of tax preference,
the portion of dividends paid by a Portfolio that is attributable to interest on
such bonds in their Federal alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of
determining liability (if any) for the alternative minimum tax and the
environmental tax applicable to corporations. Corporate shareholders must also
take all exempt-interest dividends into account in determining certain
adjustments for Federal alternative minimum and environmental tax purposes. For
individuals, the alternative minimum tax rate is 26% for alternative minimum
taxable income in excess of an exemption amount and 28% for any amount of
alternative minimum taxable income in excess of the exemption amount plus
$175,000. For corporations, the alternative minimum tax rate is 20%. The
environmental tax applicable to corporations is imposed at the rate of .12% on
the excess of the corporation's modified Federal alternative minimum taxable
income over $2,000,000. Shareholders receiving Social Security benefits should
note that all exemptinterest dividends will be taken into account in determining
the taxability of such benefits.
To the extent that dividends paid to shareholders are derived from
taxable interest or from long-term or short-term capital gains, such dividends
will be subject to Federal income tax (whether such dividends are paid in cash
or additional shares) and may also be subject to state and local taxes.
Miscellaneous. Dividends declared in October, November or December of
any year payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such months
will be deemed to have been received by the shareholders and paid by a Portfolio
on December 31, in the event such dividends are paid during January of the
following year.
A 4% nondeductible excise tax is imposed on regulated investment
companies that fail to currently distribute specified percentages of their
ordinary taxable income and net capital gain (excess of capital gains over
capital losses). Each Portfolio intends to make sufficient distributions or
deemed distributions of its ordinary taxable income and any net capital gain
prior to the end of each calendar year to avoid liability for this excise tax.
The foregoing summarizes some of the important tax considerations
generally affecting the Portfolios and their shareholders and is not intended as
a substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors in the
Portfolios should consult their tax advisers with specific reference to their
own tax situation.
The foregoing discussion of tax consequences is based on tax laws and
regulations in effect on the date of this Prospectus, which are subject to
change by legislative or administrative action.
Shareholders will be advised at least annually as to the federal income
tax consequences of distributions made each year.
Each Portfolio will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit
to the United States Treasury 31% of taxable dividends or gross proceeds
realized upon sale paid to shareholders who have failed to provide a correct tax
identification number in the manner required, who are subject to withholding
by the IRS for failure properly to include on their return payments of taxable
interest or dividends, or who have failed to certify to the Portfolio that they
are not subject to backup withholding when required to do so or that they are
"exempt recipients."
PENNSYLVANIA TAX CONSIDERATIONS
Shareholders of the Muni Intermediate Portfolio will not be subject to
Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax on distributions from the Portfolio
attributable to interest income from Pennsylvania Municipal Obligations held by
the Portfolio, either when received by the Portfolio or when credited or
distributed to the shareholders. The exemption from Pennsylvania Personal Income
Tax will also extend to interest on obligations of the United States, its
territories and certain of its agencies and instrumentalities ("Federal
Securities"). Shareholders of the Portfolio will not be subject to the
Philadelphia School District Net Income Tax imposed on Philadelphia residents on
distributions from the Portfolio attributable to interest income from
-25-
<PAGE>
Pennsylvania Municipal Obligations or Federal Securities held by the Portfolio,
either when received by the Portfolio or when credited or distributed to the
shareholders.
For purposes of the Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax and the School
District Tax, distributions derived from investments in other than Pennsylvania
Municipal Obligations and Federal Securities and distributions from net realized
capital gains in respect of such investments will be taxable. Distributions
qualifying as capital gain dividends for Federal income tax purposes are not
taxable for purposes of the School District Tax, unless the underlying asset was
held by the Portfolio for six months or less. Gain on the disposition of a share
of the Muni Intermediate Portfolio will be subject to the Pennsylvania Personal
Income Tax and the School District Tax, except that gain realized with respect
to a share held for more than six months is not subject to the School District
Tax.
Shareholders of the Muni Intermediate Portfolio are not subject to the
Pennsylvania personal property tax imposed by many counties in Pennsylvania to
the extent that the Portfolio is comprised of Pennsylvania Municipal Obligations
and Federal Securities.
NEW JERSEY TAX CONSIDERATIONS
It is anticipated that substantially all dividends paid by the New
Jersey Muni Portfolio will not be subject to New Jersey personal income tax. In
accordance with the provisions of New Jersey law as currently in effect,
distributions paid by a "qualified investment fund" will not be subject to the
New Jersey personal income tax to the extent that the distributions are
attributable to income received as interest or gain from New Jersey Municipal
Obligations, or as interest or gain from direct U.S. Government obligations.
Distributions by a qualified investment fund that are attributable to most other
sources will be subject to the New Jersey personal income tax. If the New Jersey
Muni Portfolio qualifies as a qualified investment fund under New Jersey law,
any gain on the redemption or sale of the Portfolio's shares will not be subject
to the New Jersey personal income tax. To be classified as a qualified
investment fund, at least 80% of the Portfolio's investment must consist of New
Jersey Municipal Obligations or direct U.S. Government obligations; it must have
no investments other than interest-bearing obligations, obligations issued at a
discount, and cash and cash items (including receivables); and it must satisfy
certain reporting obligations and provide certain information to its
shareholders. Shares of the Portfolio are not subject to property taxation by
New Jersey or its political subdivisions. To the extent that a shareholder is
subject to state or local taxes outside New Jersey, dividends earned by an
investment in the Fund may represent taxable income.
The New Jersey personal income tax is not applicable to corporations.
For all corporations subject to the New Jersey Corporation Business Tax,
dividend and distributions from a "qualified investment fund" are included in
the net income tax base for purposes of computing the Corporation Business Tax.
Furthermore, any gain upon the redemption or sale of Fund shares by a corporate
shareholder is also included in the net income tax base for purposes of
computing the Corporation Business Tax.
The foregoing is only a summary of certain New Jersey tax
considerations generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders, and is
not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Shareholders are urged to
consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations.
OTHER STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
Shareholders may also be subject to state and local taxes on
distributions from the Funds. A shareholder should consult with his or her tax
adviser with respect to the tax status of distributions from the Funds in a
particular state and locality.
The Glenmede Fund has obtained a Certificate of Authority to do
business as a foreign corporation in Pennsylvania, and currently does business
in that state. Accordingly, the shares of the Glenmede Fund will be exempt from
Pennsylvania Personal Property Taxes.
INVESTMENT ADVISOR
The Advisor, a limited purpose trust company chartered in 1956,
provides fiduciary and investment services to endowment funds, foundations,
employee benefit plans and other institutions and individuals. The Advisor is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of The Glenmede Corporation and is located at One
Liberty Place, 1650 Market Street, Suite 1200, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.

objective and policies of each Portfolio, manages the investment and
reinvestment of the assets of each Portfolio. It is the responsibility of the
Advisor to make investment decisions for the Portfolios and to place each
Portfolio's purchase and sales orders.
The Advisor does not receive any fee from the Funds for its investment
services provided to the Portfolios described in this Prospectus. However,
shareholders in the Funds who are clients of the Advisor or an Affiliate pay
fees which vary depending on the capacity in which the Advisor or the Affiliate
provides fiduciary and investment services to the particular client (e.g.,
personal trust, estate settlement, advisory and custodian services).

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN
The Funds have each adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the "Plan")
effective January 1, 1995 under which the Funds may pay a fee to broker/dealers,
banks and other financial institutions (including the Advisor and its
affiliates) that are dealers of record or holders of record or which have a
servicing relationship ("Servicing Agents") with the beneficial owners of shares
in any of the Portfolios. Under the Plan, Servicing Agents enter into
Shareholder Servicing Agreements (the "Agreements") with the Funds. Pursuant to
-27-
<PAGE>
such Agreements, Servicing Agents provide shareholder support services to their
clients ("Customers") who beneficially own shares of the Portfolios. The fee,
which will be at an annual rate of .05%, is computed monthly and is based on the
average daily net assets of the shares beneficially owned by Customers of
such Servicing Agents. All expenses incurred by the Portfolios in connection
with the Agreements and the implementation of the Plans shall be borne entirely
by the holders of the shares of the particular Portfolio involved and will
result in an equivalent increase to each Portfolio's Total Annual Portfolio
Operating Expenses. The Advisor has entered into an Agreement with each Fund for
each Portfolio.
The services provided by the Servicing Agents under the Agreements may
include aggregating and processing purchase and redemption requests from
Customers and transmitting purchase and redemption orders to the transfer agent;
providing Customers with a service that invests the assets of their accounts
in shares pursuant to specific or pre-authorized instructions; processing
dividend and distribution payments from the Funds on behalf of Customers;
providing information periodically to Customers showing their positions;
arranging for bank wires; responding to Customers' inquiries concerning their
investments; providing sub-accounting with respect to shares beneficially owned
by Customers or the information necessary for sub-accounting; if required by
law, forwarding shareholder communications (such as proxies, shareholder
reports, annual and semi-annual financial statements and dividend, distribution
and tax notices) to Customers; and providing such other similar services as
may be reasonably requested.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Each Portfolio will not:
(a) purchase more than 10% of any class of the outstanding voting
securities of any issuer;
(b) acquire any securities of companies within one industry if, as
a result of such acquisition, more than 25% of the value of
the Portfolio's total assets would be invested in securities
of companies within such industry; provided, however, that
there shall be no limitation on the purchase of obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies,
enterprises or instrumentalities;
(c) pledge, mortgage, or hypothecate any of its assets to an
extent greater than 10% of its total assets at fair market
value, except as described in this Prospectus and the
Statement of Additional Information and in connection with
entering into futures contracts, but the deposit of assets in
a segregated account in connection with the writing of covered
put and call options and the purchase of securities on a when
issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery basis and
collateral arrangements with respect to initial or variation
margin for futures contracts will not be deemed to be pledges
of a Portfolio's assets or the purchase of any securities on
margin for purposes of this investment limitation;
(d) issue senior securities except that a Portfolio may borrow
money in accordance with investment limitation (e), purchase
securities on a when issued, delayed settlement or forward
delivery basis and enter into reverse repurchase agreements;
and
(e) borrow money except as a temporary measure for extraordinary
or emergency purposes, and then not in excess of 10% of its
total assets at the time of borrowing (entering into reverse
repurchase agreements and purchasing securities on a when
issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery basis are not
subject to this investment limitation).
Each Portfolio, with the exceptions of the Muni Intermediate, New
Jersey Muni and International Fixed Income Portfolios, also will not:
(a) with respect to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5%
of its total assets at the time of purchase in the securities
of any single issuer (other than obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, enterprises
or instrumentalities).
Each of the Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and International Fixed
Income Portfolios is classified as a "non-diversified" investment company under
the 1940 Act, which means that each Portfolio is not limited by the 1940 Act in
the proportion of its assets that it may invest in the securities of a single
issuer. However, each Portfolio intends to conduct its operations so as to
qualify as a "regulated investment company" for purposes of the Internal
-28-
<PAGE>
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which generally will relieve the Portfolio of
any liability for federal income tax to the extent its earnings are distributed
to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company for
federal income tax purposes, each Portfolio will limit its investments and at
the close of each quarter of the taxable year will not, with respect to 50% of
its total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets at the time of
purchase in the securities of any single issuer (other than obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, enterprises or
instrumentalities).
If a percentage restriction for a Portfolio is adhered to at the time
an investment is made, a later increase in percentage resulting from a change in
value or assets will not constitute a violation of such restriction. If a
Portfolio's borrowings are in excess of 5% (excluding overdrafts) of its total
net assets, additional portfolio purchases will not be made until the amount of
such borrowing is reduced to 5% or less.
The investment limitations described here and in the SAI are
fundamental policies of the Portfolios and may be changed only with the approval
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares (as defined in the 1940
Act) of the affected Portfolio. In order to permit the sale of shares in certain
states, each of the Funds may make commitments more restrictive than the
investment policies and limitations described in this Prospectus and the SAI.
Should a Fund determine that any such commitment is no longer in the best
interest of the Fund, it will revoke the commitment by terminating sales of its
shares in the state involved.
GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
Glenmede Fund was organized as a Maryland corporation on June 30, 1988.
Glenmede Fund's Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board members to issue
2,500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a $.001 par value. The Board has the
power to designate one or more classes ("Portfolios") of shares of common stock
and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares with respect to such
Portfolios. Currently, Glenmede Fund is offering shares of ten Portfolios.
Glenmede Portfolios was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on
March 3, 1992. Glenmede Portfolio's Master Trust Agreement authorizes the
Glenmede Portfolios' Board to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest with a $.001 par value. The Glenmede Portfolios' Board has the power to
designate one or more series (Sub-Trusts) of shares of beneficial interest and
to classify or reclassify any unissued shares with respect to such Sub-Trusts.
Currently, the Glenmede Portfolios is offering shares of two Sub-Trusts, the
Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni Portfolios.
The shares of each Portfolio have no preference as to conversion,
exchange, dividends, retirement or other rights, and, when issued and paid for
as provided in this Prospectus, will be fully paid and non-assessable. The
shares of each Portfolio have no pre-emptive rights and do not have cumulative
voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares of a
Fund voting for the election of its Board members can elect 100% of the Board of
that Fund if they choose to do so. A shareholder is entitled to one vote for
each full share held (and a fractional vote for each fractional share held),
then standing in his or her name on the books of the particular Fund. The Funds
will not hold annual meetings of Shareholders except as required by the 1940
Act, the next sentence and other applicable law. Each Fund has undertaken that
its Board will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the
question of removal of a Board member or members if such a meeting is requested
in writing by the holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the
particular Fund. To the extent required by the undertaking, the particular Fund
will assist shareholder communication in such matters. The Securities and
Exchange Commission staff has expressed the view that the use of this combined
Prospectus for the Funds may subject a Fund to liability for misstatements,
inaccuracies or incomplete disclosure about the other Fund.
At November 30, 1995, the Advisor was the record owner of 100% of the
outstanding shares of each Portfolio.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The following policies supplement the investment objectives and
policies set forth in the Funds' Prospectuses:
Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements that do not provide for payment to a Portfolio
within seven days after notice without taking a reduced price are considered
illiquid securities.
Futures Contracts
Even though the following hedging instruments are not currently used by
the International Fixed Income Portfolio, this Portfolio may, where appropriate,
enter into futures contracts, options, and options on futures contracts for the
purpose of hedging. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party
and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific security at a
specified future time and at a specified price. Futures contracts which are
standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument are traded
on national futures exchanges. Futures exchanges and trading are regulated under
the Commodity Exchange Act by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC").
Although futures contracts by their terms call for actual delivery or
acceptance of the underlying securities, in most cases the contracts are closed
out before the settlement date without the making or taking of delivery. Closing
out an open futures position is done by taking an opposite position ("buying" a
contract which has previously been "sold" or "selling" a contract previously
"purchased") in an identical contract to terminate the position. Brokerage
commissions are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold.
Futures traders are required to make a good faith margin deposit in
cash or government securities with a broker or custodian to initiate and
maintain open positions in futures contracts. A margin deposit is intended to
assure completion of the contract (delivery or acceptance of the underlying
security) if it is not terminated prior to the specified delivery date. Minimal
initial margin requirements are established by the futures exchange and may be
changed. Brokers may establish deposit requirements which are higher than the
exchange minimums. Futures contracts are customarily purchased and sold on
margin that may range upward from less than 5% of the value of the contract
being traded.
After a futures contract position is opened, the value of
the contract is marked to market daily. If the futures contract
-3-
<PAGE>
price changes to the extent that the margin on deposit does not satisfy margin
requirements, payment of additional "variation" margin will be required.
Conversely, change in the contract value may reduce the required margin,
resulting in a repayment of excess margin to the contract holder. Variation
margin payments are made to and from the futures broker for as long as the
contract remains open. The International Fixed Income Portfolio expects to earn
interest income on its margin deposits.
Traders in futures contracts may be broadly classified as either
"hedgers" or "speculators." Hedgers use the futures markets primarily to offset
unfavorable changes in the value of securities otherwise held for investment
purposes or expected to be acquired by them. Speculators are less inclined to
own the securities underlying the futures contracts which they trade, and use
futures contracts with the expectation of realizing profits from fluctuations in
interest rates. The International Fixed Income Portfolio intends to use futures
contracts only for hedging purposes.
Regulations of the CFTC applicable to the International Fixed Income
Portfolio require that all of its futures transactions either constitute bona
fide hedging transactions or that the Portfolio's aggregate initial margins
and premiums required in connection with new hedging positions do not exceed 5%
of its net asset value. The International Fixed Income Portfolio will only sell
futures contracts to protect securities it owns against price declines or
purchase contracts to protect against an increase in the price of securities it
intends to purchase.
Although techniques other than the sale and purchase of futures
contracts could be used to control the International Fixed Income Portfolio's
exposure to market fluctuations, the use of futures contracts may be a more
effective means of hedging this exposure. The International Fixed Income
Portfolio would incur commission expenses in both opening and closing out
futures positions.
Restrictions on the Use of Futures Contracts. The International Fixed
Income Portfolio will not enter into futures contract transactions to the extent
that, immediately thereafter, the sum of the Portfolio's initial margin deposits
on open contracts exceeds 5% of the market value of its total assets. In
addition, the International Fixed Income Portfolio will not enter into futures
contracts to the extent that the Portfolio's outstanding obligations to purchase
securities under these contracts would exceed 20% of its total assets.
-4-
<PAGE>
Risk Factors in Futures Transactions. Positions in futures contracts
may be closed out only on an exchange which provides a secondary market for such
futures. However, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will
exist for any particular futures contract at any specific time. Thus, it may not
be possible to close a futures position. In the event of adverse price
movements, the International Fixed Income Portfolio would continue to be
required to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin. In such
situations, if the Portfolio has insufficient cash, it may have to sell
portfolio securities to meet daily margin requirements at a time when it may be
disadvantageous to do so. In addition, the International Fixed Income Portfolio
may be required to make delivery of the instruments underlying futures contracts
it holds. The inability to close options and futures positions also could have
an adverse impact on the International Fixed Income Portfolio's ability to
effectively hedge.
The International Fixed Income Portfolio will attempt to minimize the
risk that it will be unable to close out a futures contract by only entering
into futures which are traded on national futures exchanges and for which there
appears to be a liquid secondary market. There can be no assurance, however,
that a liquid secondary market will exist for a particular futures contract at
any given time.
Successful use of futures by the International Fixed Income Portfolio
also is subject to the Advisor's ability to predict correctly movements in the
direction of the market. For example, if the Portfolio has hedged against the
possibility of a decline in the market adversely affecting securities held by it
and securities prices increase instead, the Portfolio will lose part or all of
the benefit to the increased value of its securities which it has hedged because
it will have approximately equal offsetting losses in its futures positions. In
addition, in some situations, if the International Fixed Income Portfolio has
insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities to meet daily variation margin
requirements. Such sales of securities may be, but will not necessarily be, at
increased prices which reflect the rising market. The International Fixed Income
Portfolio may have to sell securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous
to do so.
The risk of loss in trading futures contracts in some strategies can be
substantial, due both to the low margin deposits required, and the extremely
high degree of leverage involved in futures pricing. As a result, a relatively
small price movement in a futures contract may result in immediate and
substantial loss (as well as gain) to the investor. For example, if at the time
of purchase, 10% of the value of the futures contract is deposited as margin, a
subsequent 10% decrease in the value of the futures contract would result in a
total loss of the margin deposit, before any deduction for the transaction
-5-
<PAGE>
costs, if the account were then closed out. A 15% decrease would result in a
loss equal to 150% of the original margin deposit, before any deduction for the
transaction costs, if the contract were closed out. Thus, a purchase or sale of
a futures contract may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the
contract.
Utilization of futures transactions by the International Fixed Income
Portfolio involves the risk of imperfect or no correlation where the securities
underlying futures contracts have different maturities than the portfolio
securities being hedged. It is also possible that the International Fixed Income
Portfolio could both lose money on futures contracts and also experience a
decline in value of its portfolio securities. There is also the risk of loss by
the International Fixed Income Portfolio of margin deposits in the event of
bankruptcy of a broker with whom the Portfolio has an open position in a futures
contract or related option.
Most futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in
futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes
the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or
down from the previous day's settlement price at the end of a trading session.
Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of contract, no
trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit
governs only price movement during a particular trading day and therefore does
not limit potential losses, because the limit may prevent the liquidation of
unfavorable positions. Futures contract prices have occasionally moved to the
daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading,
thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting some
futures traders to substantial losses.
The trading of futures contracts is also subject to the risk of trading
halts, suspensions, exchange or clearing house equipment failures, government
intervention, insolvency of a brokerage firm or clearing house or other
disruptions of normal trading activity, which could at times make it difficult
or impossible to liquidate existing positions or to recover excess variation
margin payments.
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts
A forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an obligation to
purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed
number of days from the date of the contract as agreed by the parties, at a
price set at the time of the contract. In the case of a cancelable forward
contract, the holder has the unilateral right to cancel the contract at
-6-
<PAGE>
maturity by paying a specified fee. The contracts are traded in the interbank
market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial
banks) and their customers. A forward contract generally has no deposit
requirement, and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades. A foreign
currency futures contract is a standardized contract for the future delivery of
a specified amount of a foreign currency at a future date at a price set at the
time of the contract. Foreign currency futures contracts traded in the United
States are designed by and traded on exchanges regulated by the CFTC such as the
New York Mercantile Exchange. A Portfolio would enter into foreign currency
futures contracts solely for hedging or other appropriate investment purposes as
defined in CFTC regulations.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts differ from foreign
currency futures contracts in certain respects. For example, the maturity date
of a forward contract may be any fixed number of days from the date of the
contract agreed upon by the parties, rather than a predetermined date in any
given month. Forward contracts may be in any amounts agreed upon by the parties
rather than predetermined amounts. Also, forward foreign exchange contracts are
traded directly between currency traders so that no intermediary is required. A
forward contract generally requires no margin or other deposit.
At the maturity of a forward contract, a Portfolio may either accept or
make delivery of the currency specified in the contract, or at or prior to
maturity enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an
offsetting contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are
usually effected with the currency trader who is a party to the original forward
contract.
Options
Investments in options involve some of the same considerations that are
involved in connection with investments in futures contracts (e.g., the
existence of a liquid secondary market). In addition, the purchase of an option
also entails the risk that changes in the value of the underlying security or
contract will not be fully reflected in the value of the option purchased.
Depending on the pricing of the option compared to either the futures contract
upon which it is based, or upon the price of the securities being hedged, an
option may or may not be less risky than ownership of the futures contract or
such securities. In general, the market prices of options can be expected to be
more volatile than the market prices on the underlying futures contract or
securities. Over-the-counter options are considered illiquid. The International
Fixed Income Portfolio may enter into options only if not more than 5% of the
Portfolio's assets are required as premiums.

<PAGE>
Fixed Income Options
Call and Put Options. The International Fixed Income Portfolio will
write call options and put options on a covered or secured basis only, and will
not engage in option writing strategies for speculative purposes. The Portfolio
may write covered call options and secured put options from time to time on such
portion of its portfolio, without limit, as the Advisor determines is
appropriate in seeking to obtain the Portfolio's investment objective. The
Portfolio may also purchase call options and invest up to 20% of its total
assets in the purchase of put options if, at the time of such purchase, the
Portfolio owns the security covered by such put option.
Covered Call Writing. A call option gives the purchaser of the option
the right to buy, and the writer has the obligation to sell, the underlying
security at the stated exercise price during the option period. During the
option period, the covered call writer has, in return for the premium on the
option, given up the opportunity for capital appreciation above the exercise
price should the market price of the underlying security increase, but has
retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline.
The International Fixed Income Portfolio will write call options only
on a covered basis, which means that the Portfolio owns or has the right to
acquire the underlying security subject to a call option at all times during the
option period. Options written by the Portfolio will normally have expiration
dates between three and nine months from the date written. The exercise price of
a call option may be below, equal to or above the market value of the underlying
security at the time the option is written.
During the option period, a covered call option writer may be required
at any time to deliver the underlying security against payment of the exercise
price. This obligation is terminated upon the expiration of the option period or
at such earlier time in which the writer effects a closing purchase transaction.
A closing purchase transaction cannot be effected with respect to an option once
the option writer has received an exercise notice.
Closing purchase transactions are ordinarily effected to realize a
profit on an outstanding call option, to prevent an underlying security from
being called, to permit the sale of the underlying security or to enable the
International Fixed Income Portfolio to write another call option on the
underlying security with either a different exercise price or expiration date or
both. The Portfolio may realize a net gain or loss from a closing purchase
transaction depending upon whether the amount of the premium received on the
call option is more or less than the cost of effecting the closing purchase
-8-
<PAGE>
transaction. Any loss incurred in a closing purchase transaction may be wholly
or partially offset by unrealized appreciation in the market value of the
underlying security. Conversely, a gain resulting from a closing purchase
transaction, or upon expiration of an unexercised option, could be offset in
whole or in part or exceeded by a decline in the market value of the underlying
security. If a call option is exercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss
from the sale of the underlying security equal to the difference between the
cost of the underlying security and the proceeds of the sale of the security
plus the premium received for the option less the commission paid.
The value of a call option generally reflects the market price of the
underlying security. Other principal factors affecting the value include supply
and demand, interest rates, the price volatility of the underlying security and
the time remaining until the expiration date.
Secured Put Writing. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the
right to sell, and the writer has the obligation to buy, the underlying security
at the stated exercise price during the option period. The put writer assumes
the risk of loss should the market value of the underlying security decline
below the exercise price of the option. During the option period the writer of a
put option may be required at any time to make payment of the exercise price
against delivery of the underlying security. The operation of put options in
other respects is substantially identical to that of call options.
The International Fixed Income Portfolio will write put options only on
a secured basis, which means that the Portfolio will maintain in a segregated
account with the custodian cash or securities in an amount not less than the
exercise price of the option at all times during the option period. The
Portfolio will generally write secured put options when it wishes to purchase
the underlying security at a price lower than the current market price of the
security. In such event the Portfolio would write a secured put option at an
exercise price which, reduced by the premium received on the option, reflects
the lower price it is willing to pay. The potential gain on a secured put option
is limited to the premium received on the option (less the commissions paid on
the transaction) while the potential loss equals the difference between the
exercise price of the option and the market price of the underlying securities
when the put is exercised, offset by the premium received (less the commissions
paid on the transaction).
Purchasing Call Options. The International Fixed Income Portfolio may
purchase call options only (i) in a closing purchase transaction as described
under "Options -- Fixed Income Options -- Covered Call Writing," (ii) to offset
its obligation under an over-the-counter option which it has written, or (iii)
-9-
<PAGE>
to offset the convexity risk of futures contracts. The option purchased in an
offsetting transaction could be either a listed or over-the-counter option on
the same securities and having the same terms as the outstanding option. An
offsetting over-the-counter option generally would be acquired from a dealer or
financial institution other than the holder of the over-the-counter option
written by the Portfolio. The purchased option would be exercised or closed out
prior to or at the same time as the option written.
Purchasing Put Options. The International Fixed Income Portfolio may
invest up to 20% of its total assets in the purchase of put options on
securities. At all times during which it holds a put option, the Portfolio is
required to own or have the right to acquire the security covered by such
option.
The Portfolio may purchase put options in order to protect against a
decline in the market value of the underlying security below the exercise price
less the premium paid for the option ("protective puts"). The authority to
purchase put options allows the Portfolio to protect unrealized gain in an
appreciated security in its portfolio without actually selling the security. The
Portfolio may sell a put option which it has previously purchased prior to the
sale of the securities underlying such option. Such a sale would result in a net
gain or loss depending on whether the amount received on the sale is more or
less than the premium and other transaction costs paid on the put option which
is sold. Any such gain or loss could be offset in whole or part by a change in
the market value of the underlying security. If a put option purchased by the
Portfolio expired without being sold or exercised, the premium would be lost.
Options on Interest Rate Futures Contracts. The International Fixed
Income Portfolio may purchase and write call and put options on futures
contracts which are traded on an exchange and enter into closing transactions
with respect to such options to terminate an existing position. The writer of an
option on a futures contract is required to deposit initial and variation margin
pursuant to requirements similar to those applicable to futures contracts.
Premiums received from the writing of an option are included in initial margin
deposits. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, and the
writer the obligation, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in a
futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short position
if the option is a put) at a specified exercise price at any time during the
term of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures
position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option is accompanied
by delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer's futures margin account
which represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract at
-10-
<PAGE>
the time of exercise exceeds, in the case of a call, or is less than, in the
case of a put, the exercise price of the option on the futures contract.
The Portfolio may use options on futures contracts in connection with
hedging strategies. Generally, these strategies are employed in a similar manner
and under the same market conditions in which the Portfolio may use put and call
options on securities.
While hedging can provide protection against an adverse movement in
interest rates, it can also preclude a hedger's opportunity to benefit from a
favorable interest rate movement. In addition, investing in futures contracts
and options on futures contracts causes the Portfolio to incur additional
brokerage commissions, and may cause an increase in the Portfolio's portfolio
turnover rate.
Miscellaneous. The International Fixed Income Portfolio may
write or purchase options which are listed on an exchange as well as option
which are traded over-the-counter.
The Portfolio may close out its position as writer of an option only if
a liquid secondary market exists for options of that series, but there is no
assurance that such a market will exist, particularly in the case of
over-the-counter options, which can be closed out only with the other party to
the transaction. The Portfolio may be able to purchase an offsetting option
which does not close out its position as a writer but constitutes an asset of
equal value to the obligation under the option written. If the Portfolio is not
able to enter into a closing purchase transaction or to purchase an offsetting
position, it will be required to maintain the securities subject to the call, or
the collateral underlying the put, even though it might not be advantageous to
do so, until a closing transaction can be entered into (or the option is
exercised or expires).
Securities Lending.
Each Portfolio may lend its investment securities to qualified
institutional investors who need to borrow securities in order to complete
certain transactions, such as covering short sales, avoiding failures to deliver
securities or completing arbitrage operations. By lending its investment
securities, a Portfolio attempts to increase its income through the receipt of
interest on the loan. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities
loaned that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of
the Portfolio. Each Portfolio may lend its investment securities to qualified
brokers, dealers, domestic and foreign banks or other financial institutions, so
long as the terms, the structure and the aggregate amount of such loans are not
inconsistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") or the
-11-
<PAGE>
rules and regulations or interpretations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") thereunder. The Company may, from time to time,
pay negotiated fees in connection with the lending of securities.
Interest Rate Transactions
The International Fixed Income Portfolio may enter into interest rate
swaps and the purchase or sale of related caps and floors transactions. The
Portfolio expects to enter into these transactions primarily to preserve a
return or spread on a particular investment or a portion of its portfolio, to
protect against currency fluctuations, as a duration management technique or to
protect against any increase in the price of securities the Portfolio
anticipates purchasing at a later date. The Portfolio intends to use these
transactions as hedges and not as speculative investments and will not sell
interest rate caps or floors where it does not own securities or other
instruments providing the income stream the Portfolio may be obligated to pay.
Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by the Portfolio with another party of
their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of
floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount
of principal. A currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on a
notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value
differential among them and an index swap is an agreement to swap cash flows on
a notional amount based on changes in the values of the reference indices. The
purchase of a cap entitles the purchaser to receive payments on a notional
principal amount from the party selling such cap to the extent that a specified
index exceeds a predetermined interest rate or amount. The purchase of a floor
entitles the purchaser to receive payments on a notional principal amount from
the party selling such floor to the extent that a specified index falls below a
predetermined interest rate or amount.
The Portfolio will usually enter into swaps on a net basis, i.e., the
two payment streams are netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or
dates specified in the instrument, with the Portfolio receiving or paying, as
the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Inasmuch as these
swaps, caps or floors are entered into in good faith for hedging purposes, the
Advisor and the Portfolio believe such obligations do not constitute senior
securities under the 1940 Act and, accordingly, will not treat them as being
subject to its borrowing restrictions. The Portfolio will not enter into any
swap, cap or floor transaction unless, at the time of entering into such
transaction, the unsecured long-term debt of the counterparty, combined with any
credit enhancements, is rated at least "A" by S&P or Moody's or has an
equivalent rating from an NRSRO or is determined to be of equivalent credit
quality by the Advisor. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Portfolio
-12-
<PAGE>
may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the
transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a
large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and
as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap
market has become relatively liquid. Caps and floors are more recent innovations
for which standardized documentation has not yet been fully developed and,
accordingly, they are less liquid than swaps.
With respect to swaps, the Portfolio will accrue the net amount of the
excess, if any, of its obligations over its entitlements with respect to each
swap on a daily basis and will segregate an amount of cash or liquid high grade
securities having a value equal to the accrued excess. Caps and floors require
segregation of assets with a value equal to the Portfolio's net obligation, if
any.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
The purchase price of shares of each Portfolio is the net asset value
next determined after receipt of the purchase order by the particular Fund.
Each Portfolio reserves the right in its sole discretion (i) to suspend
the offering of its shares, (ii) to reject purchase orders when in the judgment
of management such rejection is in the best interest of the particular Fund, and
(iii) to reduce or waive the minimum for initial and subsequent investments from
time to time.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Each Portfolio may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date
of payment (i) during any period that the Exchange is closed, or trading on the
Exchange is restricted as determined by the Commission, (ii) during any period
when an emergency exists as defined by the rules of the Commission as a result
of which it is not reasonably practicable for a Portfolio to dispose of
securities owned by it, or fairly to determine the value of its assets, and
(iii) for such other periods as the Commission may permit.
No charge is made by any Portfolio for redemptions. Any redemption may
be more or less than the shareholder's initial cost depending on the market
value of the securities held by the Portfolio.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
Shareholders may transfer shares of the Portfolios to another person.
An investor wishing to transfer shares should contact the Advisor.
-13-
<PAGE>
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Portfolios will not normally engage in short-term trading, but
reserve the right to do so. A high portfolio turnover rate can result in
corresponding increases in brokerage commissions; however, the Advisor will not
consider turnover rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions
consistent with that Portfolio's investment objectives and policies. The
Portfolios' portfolio turnover rates for each of the past fiscal years are set
forth under "Financial Highlights" in the Funds' Prospectuses. Changes in the
Portfolios' turnover rates were due to market fluctuations and investment
opportunities. The Glenmede Fund anticipates a variation in the portfolio
turnover rate for the Model Equity Portfolio from that reported for the
Portfolio's most recent fiscal year due to the change in how that Portfolio
seeks to achieve its investment objective.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Each Portfolio is subject to the following restrictions which are
fundamental policies and may not be changed without the approval of the lesser
of: (1) 67% of the voting securities of the affected Portfolio present at a
meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of
the affected Portfolio are present or represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50%
of the outstanding voting securities of the affected Portfolio. Each Portfolio
will not:
(1) invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except
that each Portfolio may invest in futures contracts and
options;
(2) purchase or sell real estate, although it may purchase and
sell securities of companies which deal in real estate and may
purchase and sell securities which are secured by interests in
real estate;
(3) make loans, except (i) by purchasing bonds, debentures
or similar obligations (including repurchase
agreements, subject to the limitation described in
investment limitation (9) below, and money market
instruments, including bankers acceptances and
commercial paper, and selling securities on a when
issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery basis)
which are publicly or privately distributed, and (ii)
by lending its portfolio securities to banks, brokers,
dealers and other financial institutions so long as
such loans are not inconsistent with the 1940 Act or
the rules and regulations or interpretations of the
Commission thereunder;
-14-
<PAGE>
(4) purchase on margin or sell short, except as specified
above in investment limitation (1);
(5) purchase more than 10% of any class of the outstanding
voting securities of any issuer;
(6) issue senior securities, except that a Portfolio may borrow
money in accordance with investment limitation (7) below,
purchase securities on a when issued, delayed settlement or
forward delivery basis and enter into reverse repurchase
agreements;
(7) borrow money, except as a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes, and then not in
excess of 10% of its total assets at the time of the
borrowing (entering into reverse repurchase agreements
and purchasing securities on a when issued, delayed
settlement or forward delivery basis are not subject to
this investment limitation);
(8) pledge, mortgage, or hypothecate any of its assets to
an extent greater than 10% of its total assets at fair
market value, except as described in the Prospectus and
this Statement of Additional Information and in
connection with entering into futures contracts, but
the deposit of assets in a segregated account in
connection with the writing of covered put and call
options and the purchase of securities on a when
issued, delayed settlement or forward delivery basis
and collateral arrangements with respect to initial or
variation margin for futures contracts will not be
deemed to be pledges of a Portfolio's assets or the
purchase of any securities on margin for purposes of
this investment limitation;
(9) underwrite the securities of other issuers or invest
more than an aggregate of 10% of the total assets of
the Portfolio, at the time of purchase, in securities
subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale
or securities for which there are no readily available
markets, including repurchase agreements which have
maturities of more than seven days;
(10) invest for the purpose of exercising control over
management of any company;
(11) invest its assets in securities of any investment company,
except in connection with mergers, acquisitions of assets or
consolidations and except as may otherwise be permitted by the
1940 Act;
-15-
<PAGE>
(12) acquire any securities of companies within one industry
if, as a result of such acquisition, more than 25% of
the value of the Portfolio's total assets would be
invested in securities of companies within such
industry; provided, however, that there shall be no
limitation on the purchase of obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies,
enterprises or instrumentalities, or instruments issued
by U.S. banks; and
(13) write or acquire options or interests in oil, gas or
other mineral exploration or development programs.
Each Portfolio, with the exception of the Muni Intermediate,
New Jersey Muni and International Fixed Income Portfolios, also
will not:
(1) with respect as to 75% of its total assets, invest more than
5% of its total assets at the time of purchase in the
securities of any single issuer (other than obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies,
enterprises or instrumentalities).
Although not a matter of fundamental policy, pursuant to Rule 2a-7
under the 1940 Act, the Government Cash Portfolio will limit its purchases of
any one issuer's securities (other than U.S. Government Securities) to 5% of the
Portfolio's total assets at the time of purchase, except that it may invest more
than 5% (but no more than 25%) of its total assets in First Tier Securities of
one issuer for a period of up to three business days.
Each of the Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and International Fixed
Income Portfolios is classified as a "non-diversified" investment company under
the 1940 Act, which means the Portfolio is not limited by the 1940 Act in the
proportion of its assets that it may invest in the securities of a single
issuer. However, each Portfolio intends to conduct its operations so as to
qualify as a "regulated investment company" for purposes of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, which generally will relieve the Portfolio of any
liability for federal income tax to the extent its earnings are distributed to
shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal
income tax purposes, the Portfolio generally will limit its investments such
that at the close of each quarter of the taxable year it will not, with respect
to 50% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets at the time
of purchase in the securities of any single issuer (other than obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, enterprises or
instrumentalities).
-16-
<PAGE>
If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time an investment is
made, a later increase in percentage resulting from a change in value or assets
will not constitute a violation of such restriction.
With regard to limitation (11), the 1940 Act currently prohibits an
investment company from acquiring securities of another investment company if,
as a result of the transaction, the acquiring company and any company or
companies controlled by it would own in the aggregate: (i) more than 3% of the
total outstanding voting stock of the acquired company, (ii) securities issued
by the acquired company having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the value
of the total assets of the acquiring company, or (iii) securities issued by the
acquired company and all other investment companies (other than treasury stock
of the acquired company) having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value
of the total assets of the acquiring company. In addition to the advisory fees
and other expenses that a Portfolio bears directly in connection with its own
operations, as a shareholder of another investment company, such Portfolio would
bear its "pro rata" portion of the other investment company's advisory fees and
other expenses. Therefore, to the extent that a Portfolio is invested in shares
of other investment companies, such Portfolio's shareholders will be subject to
expenses of such other investment companies, in addition to expenses of the
Portfolio.
As a matter of policy which may be changed by the particular Fund's
Board without shareholder approval, with respect to limitation (12), Portfolios
other than the Government Cash Portfolio and the Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio will
not invest more than 25% of the value of their respective total assets in
instruments issued by U.S. banks.
With regard to limitation (13), the purchase of securities of a
corporation, a subsidiary of which has an interest in oil, gas or other mineral
exploration or development programs shall not be deemed to be prohibited by the
limitation.
As stated in the Prospectuses, each of the Funds may make commitments
with respect to a Portfolio that are more restrictive than the investment
policies and limitations described above and in the Prospectuses in order to
permit the sale of a Portfolio's shares in certain states. All these commitments
may not appear in the Prospectuses or this SAI. To permit the sale of shares of
the Equity, Small Capitalization Equity and International Portfolios in Texas,
Glenmede Fund has made commitments that those Portfolios will not invest in oil,
gas or mineral leases, or in real estate limited partnership interests that are
not readily marketable, and will not lend portfolio securities unless collateral
values are continuously maintained at no less than 100% by "marking to market"
daily and the practice is fair, just and equitable as determined by a finding
-17-
<PAGE>
that adequate provision has been made for margin calls, termination of the loan,
reasonable servicing fees (including finders' fees), voting rights, dividend
rights, shareholder approval and disclosure, and the loan is within the
limitations approved by the SEC. Should Glenmede Fund determine that any of
these commitments is no longer in the best interests of the particular
Portfolio, it will revoke that commitment by terminating sales of the
Portfolio's shares in Texas and giving notice of such action to investors in
Texas.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
Each Fund's officers, under the supervision of the particular Board,
manage the day-to-day operations of the Fund. The Board members set broad
policies for each Fund and choose its officers. A list of the Board members and
officers and a brief statement of their current positions and principal
occupations during the past five years is set forth in the Funds'
Prospectuses.
Remuneration of Board Members
Glenmede Fund pays each Board member, other than Mr. Church, an annual
fee of $6,000 plus $1,250 for each Board meeting attended and out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. Glenmede Portfolios pays each
Board member, other than Mr. Church, an annual fee of $1,000 per year and
-18-
<PAGE>
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. Officers of the
Funds receive no compensation as officers from the Funds.
Set forth in the table below is the compensation received by
Board members for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995.

As noted in the Prospectus, the Advisor does not receive any fee from
the Portfolios for its investment services. However, all shareholders in the
Portfolios are clients of the Advisor or an Affiliate and, as clients, pay fees
which vary depending on the capacity in which the Advisor or Affiliate provides
fiduciary and investment services to the particular client. Such services may
include personal trust, estate settlement, advisory and custodian services. For
example, for advisory services, the Advisor charges its clients up to 1% on the
first $1 million of principal, .60% on the next $1 million of principal, .50% on
the next $3 million of principal and .40% on the next $5 million of principal,
with a minimum annual fee of $10,000. For accounts in excess of $10 million of
principal, the fee would be determined by special analysis.

Model Equity Portfolio, $37,283 for the Muni Intermediate Portfolio and $1,378
for the New Jersey Muni Portfolio.
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1993, the Funds paid fees to
Boston Advisors of $193,797 for the Government Cash Portfolio, $115,854 for the
Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio, $447,870 for the Intermediate Government Portfolio,
$176,538 for the International Portfolio, $29,773 for the Equity Portfolio and
$48,198 for the Small Capitalization Equity Portfolio and $65,070 for the Muni
Intermediate Portfolio, and for the period November 2, 1992 (commencement of
operations) to October 31, 1993, $13,347 for the International Fixed Income
Portfolio and for the period December 31, 1992 (commencement of operations) to
October 31, 1993, $8,588 for the Model Equity Portfolio.
As described more fully in the Prospectuses, the Advisor provides
shareholder support services to their clients who beneficially own shares of the
Portfolios pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Agreement ("Agreement") with each
of the Funds. For the period January 1, 1995 to October 31, 1995, the Government
Cash, Tax-Exempt Cash, Intermediate Government , Muni Intermediate, New Jersey
Muni, International Fixed Income, Equity, International, Small Capitalization
Equity and Model Equity Portfolios had servicing fees payable to the Advisor
of $____, $_____, $____, $_____, $_____, $_____, $_____, $_____, $_____, and
$_____, respectively.
Custody services are provided to each Portfolio by The Chase
Manhattan Bank, N.A., Brooklyn, New York.
DISTRIBUTOR
Shares of each Fund are distributed continuously and are offered
without a sales load by Armata, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between
each Fund and Armata. Armata receives no fee from the Funds for its distribution
services.
The Funds bear their own expenses incurred in their operations
including: taxes; interest; miscellaneous fees (including fees paid to their
Board members); Securities and Exchange Commission fees; costs of preparing and
printing prospectuses for regulatory purposes and for distribution to
-21-
<PAGE>
existing shareholders; administration fees; charges of the custodian, dividend
agent fees; certain insurance premiums; outside auditing and legal expenses;
costs of shareholders' reports and shareholder meetings; and any extraordinary
expenses. Each Portfolio also pays for brokerage fees and commissions, if any,
in connection with the purchase and sale of its portfolio securities.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Investment Advisory Agreements authorize the Advisor to select the
brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of investment
securities for each of the Portfolios and direct the Advisor to use its best
efforts to obtain the best available price and most favorable execution with
respect to all transactions for the Portfolios. The Advisor may, however,
consistent with the interests of a Portfolio, select brokers on the basis of the
research, statistical and pricing services they provide to a Portfolio.
Information and research received from such brokers will be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, the services required to be performed by the Advisor under the
Investment Advisory Agreements. A commission paid to such brokers may be higher
than that which another qualified broker would have charged for effecting the
same transaction, provided that such commissions are paid in compliance with the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and that the Advisor determines in
good faith that such commission is reasonable in terms either of the transaction
or the overall responsibility of the Advisor to a Portfolio and the Advisor's
other clients. For the Funds' fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, however, no
brokers were selected by the Advisor on the basis of research, statistical and
pricing services provided to a Portfolio.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, the Equity,
International and Small Capitalization Equity Portfolios paid $______, $______
and $______ in brokerage commissions, respectively. During the fiscal year ended
October 31, 1994, the Equity, International, Small Capitalization Equity and
Model Equity Portfolios paid $212,177, $617,512, $180,822 and $212,005 in
brokerage commissions, respectively. During the fiscal year ended October 31,
1993, the Equity, International, Small Capitalization Equity and Model Equity
Portfolios paid $88,965, $401,382, $102,071 and $115,654 in brokerage
commissions, respectively.
The Government Cash, Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New
Jersey Muni and International Fixed Income Portfolios do not currently expect to
incur any brokerage commission expense on transactions in their portfolio
securities because debt instruments are generally traded on a "net" basis with
dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission.
-22-
<PAGE>
The price of the security, however, usually includes a profit to the dealer.
Because shares of the Portfolios are not marketed through
intermediary brokers or dealers, it is not the Funds' practice to allocate
brokerage or effect principal transactions with dealers on the basis of sales of
shares which may be made through such firms. However, the Advisor may place
portfolio orders with qualified broker-dealers who refer clients to the Advisor.
Some securities considered for investment by each Portfolio may also be
appropriate for other clients served by the Advisor. If purchase or sale of
securities is consistent with the investment policies of a Portfolio and one or
more of these other clients served by the Advisor and is considered at or about
the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the
Portfolio and clients in a manner deemed fair and reasonable by the Advisor.
While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect on the price,
value or quantity of the security as far as a Portfolio is concerned, in other
cases it is believed to be beneficial to the Portfolios.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAXES
General. The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations
generally affecting the Portfolios and their shareholders that are not described
in the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the
tax treatment of the Portfolios or their shareholders, and the discussion here
and in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
Potential investors should consult their tax advisers with specific reference to
their own tax situation.
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate corporate entity under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and intends to qualify
as a regulated investment company. Qualification as a regulated investment
company under the Code requires, among other things, that each Portfolio
distribute to its shareholders an amount equal to at least the sum of 90% of its
investment company taxable income and 90% of its tax-exempt income (if any) net
of certain deductions for a taxable year. In addition, each Portfolio must
satisfy certain requirements with respect to the source of its income for a
taxable year. At least 90% of the gross income of each Portfolio must be derived
from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, gains from
the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, and
other income (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures, or
forward contracts) derived with respect to the Portfolio's business of investing
in such stock, securities or currencies. The Treasury Department may by
regulation exclude from qualifying income foreign currency gains
-23-
<PAGE>
which are not directly related to a Portfolio's principal business of investing
in stock or securities, or options and futures with respect to stock or
securities. Any income derived by a Portfolio from a partnership or trust is
treated for this purpose as derived with respect to the Portfolio's business of
investing in stock, securities or currencies only to the extent that such income
is attributable to items of income which would have been qualifying income if
realized by the Portfolio in the same manner as by the partnership or trust.
A Portfolio will not be treated as a regulated investment Company under
the Code if 30% or more of the Portfolio's gross income for a taxable year is
derived from gains realized on the sale or other disposition of the following
investments held for less than three months: (1) stock and securities (as
defined in section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act); (2) options, futures and forward
contracts other than those on foreign currencies; and (3) foreign currencies
(and options, futures and forward contracts on foreign currencies) that are not
directly related to a Portfolio's principal business of investing in stock and
securities (and options and futures with respect to stocks and securities).
Interest (including original issue discount and accrued market discount)
received by a Portfolio upon maturity or disposition of a security held for less
than three months will not be treated as gross income derived from the sale or
other disposition of such security within the meaning of this requirement.
However, income which is attributable to realized market appreciation will be
treated as gross income from the sale or other disposition of securities for
this purpose. With respect to covered call options, if the call is exercised by
the holder, the premium and the price received on exercise constitute the
proceeds of sale, and the difference between the proceeds and the cost of the
securities subject to the call is capital gain or loss. Premiums from expired
call options written by a Portfolio and net gains from closing purchase
transactions are treated as short-term capital gains for Federal income tax
purposes, and losses on closing purchase transactions are short-term capital
losses.
Any distribution of the excess of net long-term capital gain over net
short-term capital loss is taxable to a shareholder as long-term capital gain,
regardless of how long the shareholder has held the distributing Portfolio's
shares and whether such distribution is received in cash or additional Portfolio
shares. Each Portfolio will designate such distributions as capital gain
dividends in a written notice mailed to shareholders within 60 days after the
close of the Portfolio's taxable year. Shareholders should note that, upon the
sale or exchange of Portfolio shares, if the shareholder has not held such
shares for more than six months, any loss on the sale or exchange of those
shares will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of the capital
gain dividends received with respect to the shares.
-24-
<PAGE>
An individual's net capital gains are taxable at a maximum effective
rate of 28%. Ordinary income of individuals is taxable at a maximum nominal rate
of 39.6%, but because of limitations on itemized deductions otherwise allowable
and the phase-out of personal exemptions, the maximum effective marginal rate of
tax for some taxpayers may be higher. For corporations, long-term capital gains
and ordinary income are both taxable at a maximum nominal rate of 35% (although
surtax provisions apply at certain income levels to result in effective marginal
rates as high as 39%).
If for any taxable year a Portfolio does not qualify for the special
Federal income tax treatment afforded regulated investment companies, all of its
taxable income will be subject to Federal income tax at regular corporate rates
(without any deduction for distributions to its shareholders). In such event,
dividend distributions (including amounts derived from interest on tax-exempt
obligations in the case of the Tax-Exempt Cash, Muni Intermediate and New Jersey
Muni Portfolios) would be taxable as ordinary income to shareholders to the
extent of the Portfolio's current and accumulated earnings and profits, and
would be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.
Tax-Exempt Cash, Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni Portfolios. As
described in the Prospectus, these Portfolios are designed to provide investors
with current tax-exempt interest income. Shares of the Portfolios would not be
suitable for tax-exempt institutions and may not be suitable for retirement
plans qualified under Section 401 of the Code, H.R. 10 plans and individual
retirement accounts since such plans and accounts are generally tax-exempt and,
therefore, would not only fail to gain any additional benefit from each such
Portfolio's dividends being tax-exempt, but such dividends would be ultimately
taxable to the beneficiaries when distributed to them. In addition, the
Portfolios may not be an appropriate investment for entities which are
"substantial users" of facilities financed by private activity bonds or "related
persons" thereof. "Substantial user" is defined under U.S. Treasury Regulations
to include a non-exempt person who regularly uses a part of such facilities in
his trade or business and whose gross revenues derived with respect to the
facilities financed by the issuance of bonds are more than 5% of the total
revenues derived by all users of such facilities, who occupies more than 5% of
the usable area of such facilities or for whom such facilities or a part thereof
were specifically constructed, reconstructed or acquired. "Related persons"
include certain related natural persons, affiliated corporations, a partnership
and its partners and an S corporation and its shareholders.
The percentage of total dividends paid by each Portfolio with respect
to any taxable year which qualify as Federal exempt-interest dividends will be
-25-
<PAGE>
the same for all shareholders receiving dividends for such year. In order for
each Portfolio to pay exempt-interest dividends with respect to any taxable
year, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year at least 50% of the
aggregate value of each Portfolio's assets must consist of exempt-interest
obligations. After the close of its taxable year, each Portfolio will notify its
shareholders of the portion of the dividends paid by it which constitutes an
exempt- interest dividend with respect to such year. However, the aggregate
amount of dividends so designated by each Portfolio cannot exceed the excess of
the amount of interest exempt from tax under Section 103 of the Code received by
the particular Portfolio for the taxable year over any amounts disallowed as
deductions under Sections 265 and 171(a)(2) of the Code.
Interest on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to purchase or carry
such a Portfolio's shares generally is not deductible for Federal income tax
purposes if the Portfolio distributes exempt-interest dividends during the
shareholder's taxable year.
While each Portfolio will seek to invest substantially all of its
assets in tax-exempt obligations (except on a temporary basis or for temporary
defensive periods), any investment company taxable income earned by a Portfolio
will be distributed. In general, each Portfolio's investment company taxable
income will be its taxable income (including taxable interest received from
temporary investments and any net short-term capital gains realized by a
Portfolio) subject to certain adjustments and excluding the excess of any net
long-term capital gains for the taxable year over the net short-term capital
loss, if any, for such year.
Federal Taxation of Certain Financial Instruments. Generally, futures
contracts held by the International Fixed Income Portfolio at the close of the
Fund's taxable year will be treated for Federal income tax purposes as sold for
their fair market value on the last business day of such year, a process known
as "mark-to-market." Forty percent of any gain or loss resulting from such
constructive sale will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss and 60% of
such gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss without
regard to the length of time the Portfolio holds the futures contract ("the
40%-60% rule"). The amount of any capital gain or loss actually realized by the
Portfolio in a subsequent sale or other disposition of those futures contracts
will be adjusted to reflect any capital gain or loss taken into account by the
Portfolio in a prior year as a result of the constructive sale of the contracts.
With respect to futures contracts to sell, which will be regarded as parts of a
"mixed straddle" because their values fluctuate inversely to the values of
specific securities held by the Portfolio, losses as to such contracts to sell
-26-
<PAGE>
will be subject to certain loss deferral rules which limit the amount of loss
currently deductible on either part of the straddle to the amount thereof which
exceeds the unrecognized gain (if any) with respect to the other part of the
straddle, and to certain wash sales regulations. Under short sales rules, which
will also be applicable, the holding period of the securities forming part of
the straddle will (if they have not been held for the long term holding period)
be deemed not to begin prior to termination of the straddle. With respect to
certain futures contracts, deductions for interest and carrying charges will not
be allowed. Notwithstanding the rules described above, with respect to futures
contracts to sell which are properly identified as such, the International Fixed
Income Portfolio may make an election which will exempt (in whole or in part)
those identified futures contracts from being treated for Federal income tax
purposes as sold on the last business day of the Fund's taxable year, but gains
and losses will be subject to such short sales, wash sales and loss deferral
rules and the requirement to capitalize interest and carrying charges. Under
Temporary Regulations, the International Fixed Income Portfolio would be allowed
(in lieu of the foregoing) to elect either (1) to offset gains or losses from
positions which are part of a mixed straddle by separately identifying each
mixed straddle to which such treatment applies, or (2) to establish a mixed
straddle account for which gains and losses would be recognized and offset on a
periodic basis during the taxable year. Under either election, the 40%-60% rule
will apply to the net gain or loss attributable to the futures contracts, but in
the case of a mixed straddle account election, no more than 50% of any net gain
may be treated as long term and no more than 40% of any net loss may be treated
as short term. Options on futures contracts generally receive Federal tax
treatment similar to that described above.
Certain foreign currency contracts entered into by the International or
International Fixed Income Portfolios may be subject to the "mark-to-market"
process and the 40%-60% rule in a manner similar to that described in the
preceding paragraph for futures contracts. To receive such Federal income tax
treatment, a foreign currency contract must meet the following conditions: (1)
the contract must require delivery of a foreign currency of a type in which
regulated futures contracts are traded or upon which the settlement value of the
contract depends; (2) the contract must be entered into at arm's length at a
price determined by reference to the price in the interbank market; and (3) the
contract must be traded in the interbank market. The Treasury Department has
broad authority to issue regulations under the provisions respecting foreign
currency contracts. As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information,
the Treasury has not issued any such regulations. Other foreign currency
contracts entered into by the International or International Fixed Income
Portfolio may result in the creation of one or more straddles for Federal income
tax purposes, in which case certain loss deferral, short sales, and wash sales
-27-
<PAGE>
rules and the requirement to capitalize interest and carrying charges may apply.
As described more fully above, in order to qualify as a regulated
investment company under the Code a Portfolio must derive less than 30% of its
gross income from the sale or other disposition of securities and certain other
investments held for less than three months. With respect to futures contracts
and other financial instruments subject to the mark-to-market rules, the
Internal Revenue Service has ruled in private letter rulings that a gain
realized from such a futures contract or financial instrument will be treated as
being derived from a security held for three months or more (regardless of the
actual period for which the contract or instrument is held) if the gain arises
as a result of a constructive sale under the mark-to-market rules, and will be
treated as being derived from a security held for less than three months only if
the contract or instrument is terminated (or transferred) during the taxable
year (other than by reason of mark-to-market) and less than three months have
elapsed between the date the contract or instrument is acquired and the
termination date. In determining whether the 30% test is met for a taxable year,
increases and decreases in the value of a Portfolio's futures contracts and
other investments that qualify as part of a "designated hedge," as defined in
the Code, may be netted.
Special rules govern the Federal income tax treatment of certain
transactions denominated in terms of a currency other than the U.S. dollar or
determined by reference to the value of one or more currencies other than the
U.S. dollar. The types of transactions covered by the special rules include the
following: (i) the acquisition of, or becoming the obligor under, a bond or
other debt instrument (including, to the extent provided in Treasury
regulations, preferred stock); (ii) the accruing of certain trade receivables
and payables; and (iii) the entering into or acquisition of any forward
contract, futures contract, option and similar financial instrument if such
instrument is not marked to market. The disposition of a currency other than the
U.S. dollar by a U.S. taxpayer is also treated as a transaction subject to the
special currency rules. However, foreign currency-related regulated futures
contracts and non-equity options are generally not subject to the special
currency rules if they are or would be treated as sold for their fair market
value at year-end under the mark-to-market rules, unless an election is made to
have such currency rules apply. With respect to transactions covered by the
special rules, foreign currency gain or loss is calculated separately from any
gain or loss on the underlying transaction and is normally taxable as ordinary
gain or loss. A taxpayer may elect to treat as capital gain or loss foreign
currency gain or loss arising from certain identified forward contracts, futures
contracts and options that are capital assets in the hands of the taxpayer and
-28-
<PAGE>
which are not part of a straddle. In accordance with Treasury regulations under
which certain transactions that are part of a "section 988 hedging transaction"
(as defined in the Code and the Treasury regulations) will be integrated and
treated as a single transaction or otherwise treated consistently for purposes
of the Code. Any gain or loss attributable to the foreign currency component of
a transaction engaged in by a Portfolio which is not subject to the special
currency rules (such as foreign equity investments other than certain preferred
stocks) will be treated as capital gain or loss and will not be segregated from
the gain or loss on the underlying transaction. It is anticipated that some of
the non-U.S. dollar denominated investments and foreign currency contracts the
International and International Fixed Income Portfolios may make or enter into
will be subject to the special currency rules described above.
Special Considerations Regarding Investment In Pennsylvania
Municipal Obligations.
The concentration of investments in Pennsylvania Municipal Obligations
by the Muni Intermediate Portfolio raises special investment considerations. In
particular, changes in the economic condition and governmental policies of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its municipalities could adversely affect the
value of the Portfolio and its portfolio securities. This section briefly
describes current economic trends in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania has historically been dependent on heavy industry although
recent declines in the coal, steel and railroad industries have led to
diversification of the Commonwealth's economy. Recent sources of economic growth
in Pennsylvania are in the service sector, including trade, medical and health
services, education and financial institutions. Agriculture continues to be an
important component of the Commonwealth's economic structure, with nearly
one-third of the Commonwealth's total land area devoted to cropland, pasture and
farm woodlands.
The population of Pennsylvania experienced a slight increase in the
period 1980 through 1990 and has a high proportion of persons 65 or older. The
Commonwealth is highly urbanized, with almost 85% of the 1980 census population
residing in metropolitan statistical areas. The two largest metropolitan
statistical areas, those containing the Cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
together comprise approximately 50% of the Commonwealth's total population.
-29-
<PAGE>
The Commonwealth utilizes the fund method of accounting and over 120
funds have been established for purposes of recording receipts and disbursements
of the Commonwealth, of which the General Fund is the largest. Most of the
Commonwealth's operating and administrative expenses are payable from the
General Fund. The major tax sources for the General Fund are the sales tax
(33.7% of General Fund revenues in fiscal 1994), the personal income tax (32% of
General Fund revenues in fiscal 1994) and the corporate net income tax (10.2% of
General Fund revenues in fiscal 1994). Major expenditures of the Commonwealth
include funding for education (42.5% of total fiscal 1994 expenditures), public
health and welfare (34.5% of the fiscal 1994 expenditures), transportation, and
economic development.
The constitution of the Commonwealth provides that operating budget
appropriations of the Commonwealth may not exceed the estimated revenues and
available surplus in the fiscal year for which funds are appropriated. Annual
budgets are enacted for the General Fund and for certain special revenue funds
which together represent the majority of expenditures of the Commonwealth. The
Commonwealth reported a positive unreserved/undesignated fund balance in its
governmental fund types applying generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") at the end of each fiscal year (ending June 30) from fiscal 1984, when
its financial statements were first prepared on a basis consistent with GAAP,
through fiscal 1989, and the General Fund recorded revenues and other sources in
excess of expenditures and other uses for each fiscal year from 1985 through
1989 (except for fiscal 1988 in which a decline in fund equity of $246.7 million
occurred). Although the balance in the General Fund of the Commonwealth (the
principal operating fund of the Commonwealth) declined to a zero balance at the
close of fiscal 1989, and a negative balance was experienced in fiscal 1990 and
1991, tax increases and spending decreases helped return the General Fund
balance to a surplus at June 30, 1992 of $87.5 million and at June 30, 1993 of
$698.9 million. The deficit in the Commonwealth's unreserved/undesignated funds
of prior years was also reversed to a surplus of $64.4 million as of June 30,
1993.
Current constitutional provisions permit the Commonwealth to issue the
following types of debt: (i) electorate approved debt, (ii) debt for capital
projects subject to an aggregate debt limit of 1.75 times the annual average tax
revenues of the preceding five fiscal years, (iii) tax anticipation notes
payable in the fiscal year of issuance and (iv) debt to suppress insurrection or
rehabilitate areas affected by disaster. General obligation debt totaled
$5,075.8 million at June 30, 1994. Certain state-created agencies issue debt
supported by assets of, or revenues derived from, the various projects financed
and the debt of such agencies is not an obligation of the Commonwealth although
some of the agencies are indirectly dependent on Commonwealth appropriations.
-30-
<PAGE>
Certain litigation is pending against the Commonwealth that could
adversely affect the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service on its
obligations including suits relating to the following matters: (a) the ACLU has
filed suit in federal court demanding additional funding for child welfare
services; the Commonwealth settled a similar suit in the Commonwealth Court of
Pennsylvania and is seeking the dismissal of the federal suit, inter alia,
because of that settlement. The District Court has denied class certification to
the ACLU, and the parties have stipulated to a judgment against the plaintiffs
to allow plaintiffs to appeal the denial of class certification to the Third
Circuit (no available estimates of potential liability); (b) in 1987, the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that the statutory scheme for county funding
of the judicial system to be in conflict with the constitution of the
Commonwealth, but stayed judgment pending enactment by the legislature of
funding consistent with the opinion and the legislature has yet to consider
legislation implementing the judgment; in 1992, a new action in mandamus was
filed seeking to compel the Commonwealth to comply with the original decision;
(c) several banks have filed suit against the Commonwealth contesting the
constitutionality of a law enacted in 1989 imposing a bank shares tax; in July
1994, the Commonwealth Court en banc upheld the constitutionality of the 1989
bank shares tax law, but struck down a companion law to provide credits against
the bank shares tax for new banks; cross-appeals from that decision to the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court have been filed; (d) litigation has been filed in
both state and federal court by an association of rural and small schools and
several individual school districts and parents challenging the
constitutionality of the Commonwealth's system for funding local school
districts -- the federal case has been stayed pending resolution of the state
case and the state case is in the pre-trial stage (no available estimate of
potential liability); (e) the ACLU has brought a class action on behalf of
inmates challenging the conditions of confinement in thirteen of the
Commonwealth's correctional institutions; a proposal settlement agreement has
been submitted to the court and members of the class for their review (no
available estimate of potential cost of complying with the injunction sought but
capital and personnel costs might amount to millions of dollars); (f) a
consortium of public interest law firms has filed a class action suit alleging
that the Commonwealth has not complied with a federal mandate to provide
screening, diagnostic and treatment services for all Medicaid- eligible children
under 21; the District Court denied class certification, and the parties have
submitted a tentative settlement agreement to the court for approval; and (g)
litigation has been filed in federal court by the Pennsylvania Medical Society
seeking payment of the full co-pay and deductible in excess of the maximum fees
set under the Commonwealth's medical assistance program for outpatient services
provided to medical assistance patients who also are eligible for Medicare;
-31-
<PAGE>
the Commonwealth received a favorable decision in the federal district court,
but the Pennsylvania Medical Society won a reversal in the federal circuit court
(potential liability estimated at $50 million per year).
Local government units in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which
include, among other things, counties, cities, boroughs, towns, townships,
school districts and other municipally created units such as industrial
development authorities and municipality authorities, including water and sewer
authorities) are permitted to issue debt for capital projects: (i) in any amount
so long as the debt has been approved by the voters of the local government
unit; or (ii) without electoral approval if the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of debt of the local government unit is not in excess of 100% of its
borrowing base (in the case of a school district of the first class), 300% of
its borrowing base (in the case of a county) or 250% of its borrowing base (in
the case of all other local government units); or (iii) without electoral
approval and without regard to the limit described in (ii) in any amount in the
case of certain subsidized debt and self-liquidating debt (defined to be debt
with no claim on taxing power, secured solely by revenues from a specific source
which have been projected to be sufficient to pay debt service on the related
debt). Lease rental debt may also be issued, in which case the total debt limits
described in section (ii) (taking into account all existing lease rental debt in
addition to all other debt) are increased. The borrowing base for a local
government unit is the average of total revenues for the three fiscal years
preceding the borrowing. The risk of investing in debt issued by any particular
local government unit depends, in the case of general obligation bonds secured
by tax revenues, on the credit-worthiness of that issuer or, in the case of
revenue bonds, on the revenue producing ability of the project being financed,
and not directly on the credit-worthiness of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as
a whole.
The City of Philadelphia (the "City") has been experiencing severe
financial difficulties which has impaired its access to public credit markets
and a long-term solution to the City's financial crisis is still being sought.
The City experienced a series of General Fund deficits for Fiscal Years 1988
through 1992. The City has no legal authority to issue deficit reduction bonds
on its own behalf, but state legislation has been enacted to create an
Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority (the "Authority") to provide fiscal
oversight for Pennsylvania cities (primarily Philadelphia) suffering recurring
financial difficulties. The Authority is broadly empowered to assist cities in
avoiding defaults and eliminating deficits by encouraging the adoption of sound
budgetary practices and issuing bonds. In order for the Authority to issue bonds
on behalf of the City, the City and the Authority entered into an
intergovernmental cooperative agreement providing the Authority
-32-
<PAGE>
with certain oversight powers with respect to the fiscal affairs of the City.
The Authority approved the latest update of the City's five-year financial plan
on May 2, 1994. The City has reported a surplus of approximately $15 million for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1994. In June 1992, the Authority issued
$474,555,000 in bonds to liquidate the City's deficit balance in its general
fund. Since then the Authority has issued an additional $944,125 in bonds to
refund certain general obligation bonds of the City and to fund additional
capital projects. The Authority's power to issue debt for a capital project or
deficit expired on December 31, 1994, but its power to issue debt to finance a
cash flow deficit extends until December 31, 1996.
The foregoing information as to certain Pennsylvania risk factors
constitutes only a brief summary, does not purport to be a complete description
of Pennsylvania risk factors and is principally drawn from official statements
relating to securities offerings of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that have
come to the Funds' attention and were available as of the date of this Statement
of Additional Information.
Special Considerations Regarding Investment in New Jersey
Municipal Obligations
The State of New Jersey and its political subdivisions, agencies and
public authorities are authorized to issue two general classes of indebtedness;
general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. Both classes of bonds may be
included in the New Jersey Muni Portfolio. The repayment of principal and
interest on general obligation bonds is secured by the full faith and credit of
the issuer, backed by the issuer's taxing authority, without recourse to any
special project or source of revenue. Special obligation or revenue bonds may be
repaid only from revenues received in connection with the project for which the
bonds are issued, special excise taxes, or other special revenue sources and
generally are issued by entities without taxing power. Neither the State of New
Jersey nor any of its subdivisions is liable for the repayment of principal or
interest on revenue bonds except to the extent stated in the preceding
sentences.
General obligation bonds of the state are repaid from revenues obtained
through the state's general taxing authority. An inability to increase taxes may
adversely affect the state's ability to authorize or repay debt.
Public authorities, private non-profit corporations, agencies and
similar entities of New Jersey ("Authorities") are established for a variety of
beneficial purposes, including economic development, housing and mortgage
financing, health care facilities and public transportation. The Authorities are
not operating entities of the State of New Jersey, but are separate
-33-
<PAGE>
legal entities that are managed independently. The state oversees the
Authorities by appointing the governing boards, designating management, and by
significantly influencing operations. The Authorities are not subject to New
Jersey constitutional restrictions on the incurrence of debt, applicable to the
State of New Jersey itself, and may issue special obligation or private activity
bonds in legislatively authorized amounts.
An absence or reduction of revenue will affect a bond-issuing
Authority's ability to repay debt on special obligation bonds and no assurance
can be given that sufficient revenues will be obtained to make such payments,
although in some instances repayment may be guaranteed or otherwise secured.
Various Authorities have issued bonds for the construction of health
care facilities, transportation facilities, office buildings and related
facilities, housing facilities, pollution control facilities, water and sewerage
facilities and power and electric facilities. Each of these facilities may incur
different difficulties in meeting its debt repayment obligations. Hospital
facilities, for example, are subject to changes in Medicare and Medicaid
reimbursement regulations, attempts by Federal and state legislatures to limit
the costs of health care and management's ability to complete construction
projects on a timely basis as well as to maintain projected rates of occupancy
and utilization. At any given time, there are several proposals pending on a
Federal and state level concerning health care which may further affect a
hospital's debt service obligation.
Housing facilities may be subject to increases in operating costs,
management's ability to maintain occupancy levels, rent restrictions and
availability of Federal or state subsidies, while power and electric facilities
may be subject to increased costs resulting from environmental restrictions,
fluctuations in fuel costs, delays in licensing procedures and the general
regulatory framework in which these facilities operate. All of these entities
are constructed and operated under rigid regulatory guidelines.
Some entities which financed facilities with proceeds of private
activity bonds issued by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, a major
issuer of special obligation bonds, have defaulted on their debt service
obligations. Because these special obligation bonds were repayable only from
revenue received from the specific projects which they funded, the New Jersey
Economic Development Authority was unable to repay the debt service to
bondholders for such facilities. Each issue of special obligation bonds,
however, depends on its own revenue for repayment, and thus these defaults
should not affect the ability of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority
to repay obligations on other bonds that it issues in the future.

The state has, in the past, experienced a period of substantial
economic growth with unemployment levels below the national average. Recently,
however, the state has experienced an economic slowdown, and its unemployment
rate has risen to the extent the state has lost its relative advantage over the
nation. To the extent that any adverse conditions exist in the future which
affect the obligor's ability to repay debt, the value of the Portfolio may be
immediately and substantially affected.
The following are cases presently pending or threatened in which the
State has a potential for either a significant loss of revenue or a significant
unanticipated expenditure: (i) several labor unions have challenged 1992
legislation mandating a revaluation of several public employee pension funds
which resulted in a refund of $773 million in public employer contributions to
the State and annual savings to the State of approximately $226 million for
fiscal 1993 and thereafter; (ii) in June 1990, the State Supreme Court held the
State's public school funding mechanism unconstitutional; legislation which was
enacted to establish a new funding system has also been challenged; (iii)
several cases filed in the State courts challenged the basis on which recoveries
of certain costs for residents in State psychiatric hospitals and other
facilities are shared between the State Department of Human Services and the
State's county governments, and certain counties are seeking the recovery from
the Department of costs they have incurred for the maintenance of such
residents; (iv) a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in 1990
alleges that the State Department of Human Services has established unreasonably
low medicaid payment rates for long-term care facilities; (v) a number of
taxpayers are seeking refunds of taxes paid to the Spill Compensation Fund, on
the grounds, inter alia, that the State law is preempted by the Federal
Superfund legislation; (vi) the 1990 Fair Automobile Insurance Reform Act has
been challenged in several State court suits, including provisions to the Act
dealing with the premium tax surtax which was intended to raise $300 million in
1993; (vii) a suit was filed in 1991 seeking to impose directly on the State the
responsibility for funding the State's judicial system, which has been primarily
funded by the counties; (viii) several union welfare benefit plans are
challenging the State's hospital rate-setting system in a suit filed in United
States District Court; the Court held in 1992 that certain provisions of the
State system are preempted by Federal law; and (ix) the method by which various
State agencies reduced their personnel has been challenged and the case is
pending before the State Supreme Court.
Although the Portfolio generally intends to invest its assets primarily
in New Jersey Municipal Obligations rated no lower than A, MIG2 or Prime-1 by
Moody's or A SP-1 or A-1 by S&P, there can be no assurance that such ratings
will remain in effect until the bond matures or is redeemed or will not be
-35-
<PAGE>
revised downward or withdrawn. Such a revision or withdrawal may have an adverse
affect on the market price of such securities.
PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
The "yield" and "effective yield" of the Government Cash and Tax-Exempt
Cash Portfolios (the "Cash Portfolios"), and the "tax- equivalent yield" of the
Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio, are calculated according to formulas prescribed by
the Commission. The standardized seven-day yield of each of these Portfolios is
computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the
value of a hypothetical pre-existing account in the particular Portfolio having
a balance of one share at the beginning of the period, dividing the net change
in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period
to obtain the base period return, and multiplying the base period return by
(365/7). The net change in the value of an account in the Cash Portfolios
includes the value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the
original share, and dividends declared on both the original share and any such
additional shares, net of all fees, other than nonrecurring account or sales
charges, that are charged by the Fund to all shareholder accounts in proportion
to the length of the base period and the Portfolio's average account size. The
capital changes to be excluded from the calculation of the net change in account
value are realized gains and losses from the sale of securities and unrealized
appreciation and depreciation. An effective annualized yield for the Cash
Portfolios may be computed by compounding the unannualized base period return
(calculated as above) by adding 1 to the base period return, raising the sum to
a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and subtracting 1 from the result.
The Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio's "7-day tax-equivalent yield" may be
computed by dividing the tax-exempt portion of the Portfolio's yield (calculated
as above) by one minus a stated Federal income tax rate and adding the product
to that portion, if any, of the Portfolio's yield that is not tax-exempt. The
Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio's tax-equivalent yield, and the Cash Portfolios' yield
and effective yield, do not reflect any fees charged by the Advisor to its
clients. See "Investment Advisor."
Set forth below is an example, for purposes of illustration only, of
the current yield calculations for each of the Cash Portfolios for the seven day
period ended October 31, 1995.

The SEC yield of the Intermediate Government Portfolio, Muni
Intermediate Portfolio, New Jersey Muni Portfolio and the International Fixed
Income Portfolio for the 30-day period ended October 31, 1995 was ____%,
____%, ____% and ____%, respectively. These yields were calculated by dividing
the net investment income per share (as described below) earned by the Portfolio
during a 30-day (or one month) period by the maximum offering price per share on
the last day of the period and annualizing the result on a semi-annual basis by
adding one to the quotient, raising the sum to the power of six, subtracting one
from the result and then doubling the difference. The Portfolio's net investment
income per share earned during the period is based on the average daily number
of shares outstanding during the period entitled to receive dividends and
includes dividends and interest earned during the period minus expenses accrued
for the period, net of reimbursements. This calculation can be expressed as
follows:
6
Yield = 2 [( a-b + 1) - 1]
---
cd
Where: a = dividends and interest earned during
the period.
b = expenses accrued for the period net
of reimbursements.
c = the average daily number of shares
outstanding during the period that
were entitled to receive dividends.
d = maximum offering price per share on
the last day of the period.
For the purpose of determining net investment income earned during the
period (variable "a" in the formula), interest earned on any debt obligations
held by the Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni or
International Fixed Income Portfolios is calculated by computing the yield to
maturity of each obligation held by the Portfolio based on the market value of
the obligation (including actual accrued interest) at the close of business on
the last business day of each month, or, with respect to obligations purchased
during the month, the purchase price (plus actual accrued interest) and dividing
the result by 360 and multiplying the quotient by the market value of the
obligation (including actual accrued interest) in order to determine the
interest income on the obligation for each day of the subsequent month that the
-37-
<PAGE>
obligation is held by the particular Portfolio. For purposes of this
calculation, it is assumed that each month contains 30 days. The maturity of an
obligation with a call provision is the next call date on which the obligation
reasonably may be expected to be called or, if none, the maturity date. With
respect to debt obligations purchased at a discount or premium, the formula
generally calls for amortization of the discount or premium. The amortization
schedule will be adjusted monthly to reflect changes in the market values of
such debt obligations.
Undeclared earned income will be subtracted from the maximum offering
price per share (variable "d" in the formula). Undeclared earned income is the
net investment income which, at the end of the base period, has not been
declared as a dividend, but is reasonably expected to be and is declared and
paid as a dividend shortly thereafter. The Intermediate Government, Muni
Intermediate, New Jersey Muni and International Fixed Income Portfolios' yields
do not reflect any fees charged by the Advisor or an Affiliate to its clients.
See "Investment Advisor."
The Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni Portfolios' "tax- equivalent"
yield is computed by dividing the portion of the yield that is exempt from
Federal and/or State income taxes by one minus a stated Federal income tax rate
and/or the State income tax rate and by adding that figure to that portion, if
any, of the yield that is not tax-exempt. The 30 day tax- equivalent yield for
the Muni Intermediate Portfolio and New Jersey Portfolio for the 30-day period
ended October 31, 1995 was ____% and ____%, respectively (assuming a
marginal Federal income tax rate of _____% and marginal Pennsylvania and New
Jersey income tax rates of _____ and ____%, respectively).
The Intermediate Government, Equity, International, Small
Capitalization Equity, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni, International Fixed
Income and Model Equity Portfolios each compute their respective average annual
total returns by determining the average annual compounded rates of return
during specified periods that equate the initial amount invested to the ending
redeemable value of such investment. This is done by dividing the ending
redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 initial payment by $1,000 and raising
the quotient to a power equal to one divided by the number of years (or
fractional portion thereof) covered by the computation and subtracting one from
the result. This calculation can be expressed as follows:
1/n
T = [( ERV ) - 1]
---
P
Where: T = average annual total return.
-38-
<PAGE>
ERV = ending redeemable value
at the end of the period
covered by the computation
of a hypothetical $1,000
payment made at the
beginning of the period.
P = hypothetical initial
payment of $1,000.
n = period covered by the
computation, expressed in
terms of years.
The Intermediate Government, Equity, International, Small
Capitalization Equity, Muni Intermediate, New Jersey Muni, International Fixed
Income and Model Equity Portfolios compute their aggregate total returns by
determining the aggregate rates of return during specified periods that likewise
equate the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value of such
investment. The formula for calculating aggregate total return is as follows:
T = [( ERV ) - 1]
---
P
The calculations of average annual total return and aggregate total
return assume the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions.
The ending redeemable value (variable "ERV" in each formula) is determined by
assuming complete redemption of the hypothetical investment and the deduction of
all nonrecurring charges at the end of the period covered by the computations.
Each Portfolio's average annual total return and aggregate total return do not
reflect any fees charged by the Advisor to its clients. See "Investment
Advisor."

GENERAL INFORMATION
Dividends and Capital Gains Distributions
Each Portfolio's policy is to distribute substantially all of its net
investment income, if any, together with any net realized capital gains in the
amount and at the times that will avoid both income (including capital gains)
taxes on it and the imposition of the Federal excise tax on undistributed income
and gains (see discussion under "Dividends, Capital Gains Distributions and
Taxes" in the Prospectus). As set forth in the Prospectuses, the Government Cash
and the Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolios declare dividends daily and normally
-40-
<PAGE>
distribute substantially all of their net investment income to shareholders
monthly; the International Fixed Income, International, Equity, Small
Capitalization Equity and Model Equity Portfolios normally distribute
substantially all of their net investment income to shareholders in the form of
a quarterly dividend and the Intermediate Government, Muni Intermediate and New
Jersey Muni Portfolios normally distribute substantially all of their net
investment income to shareholders in the form of a monthly dividend. If any net
capital gains are realized by a Portfolio, that Portfolio normally distributes
such gains at least once a year. The amounts of any income dividends or capital
gains distributions for a Portfolio cannot be predicted.
Any dividend or distribution paid shortly after the purchase of shares
of a Portfolio by an investor may have the effect of reducing the per share net
asset value of that Portfolio by the per share amount of the dividend or
distribution. Furthermore, such dividends or distributions, although in effect a
return of capital, are subject to income taxes as set forth in the Prospectus.
Certain Record Holders
As of November 30, 1995, the Advisor held of record 100% of the
outstanding shares of each Portfolio other than the International Portfolio. For
more information about the Advisor, see "Investment Advisor" in the Prospectus.
To the Funds' knowledge, as of November 30, 1995, no person owned, beneficially
or of record, 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the International
Portfolio. As of November 30, 1995, the directors/trustees and officers of the
Funds collectively owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each of the
Funds' Portfolios.

APPENDIX -- DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND RATINGS
I. Description of Bond Ratings
Excerpts from Moody's description of its highest bond ratings: Aaa --
judged to be the best quality; carry the smallest degree of investment risk; Aa
- -- judged to be of high quality by all standards; A -- judged to be of upper
medium quality; factors giving security to principal and interest considered
adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to
impairment sometime in the future; Baa -- judged to be of medium quality;
lacking outstanding investment characteristics and in fact having speculative
characteristics.
Excerpts from S&P description of its highest bond ratings: AAA --
highest grade obligations; indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay
interest and repay principal; AA -- also qualify as high grade obligations;
indicates a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs
from AAA issues only in small degree; A -- qualifies as upper medium grade
obligations; have strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal, although
somewhat more susceptible to adverse effects of change in circumstances and
economic conditions than higher rated bonds; BBB -- indicates adequate capacity
to pay interest and repay principal, although adverse economic conditions are
likely to weaken such capacity.
Description of Moody's ratings of state and municipal notes: Moody's
ratings for state and municipal notes, other short-term obligations and variable
rate demand obligations are as follows: MIG-1/VMIG-1 -- Best quality, enjoying
strong protection by established cash flows, superior liquidity support or
demonstrated broadbased access to the market for refinancing; MIG-2/VMIG-2 --
High quality with margins of protection ample although not so large as in the
preceding group.
Description of Moody's highest commercial paper rating: Prime-1 ("P-1")
- -- judged to be of the best quality. Issuers rated P-1 (or related supporting
institutions) are considered to have a superior capacity for repayment of
short-term promissory obligations.
Excerpt from S&P rating of municipal note issues: SP-1+ -- overwhelming
capacity to pay principal and interest; SP-1 -- very strong or strong capacity
to pay principal and interest.
Description of S&P highest commercial papers ratings: A-1+ - - this
designation indicates the degree of safety regarding timely payment is
overwhelming. A-1 -- this designation indicates the degree of safety regarding
timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong.
<PAGE>
II. Description of Mortgage-Backed Securities
Mortgage-backed securities represent an ownership interest in a pool of
residential mortgage loans. These securities are designed to provide monthly
payments of interest and principal to the investor. The mortgagor's monthly
payments to his/her lending institution are "passed-through" to an investor such
as the Government Cash Portfolio and the Intermediate Government Portfolio. Most
issuers or poolers provide guarantees of payments, regardless of whether or not
the mortgagor actually makes the payment. The guarantees made by issuers or
poolers are supported by various forms of credit, collateral, guarantees or
insurance, including individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance purchased
by the issuer. There can be no assurance that the private issuers or poolers can
meet their obligations under the policies. Mortgage-backed securities issued by
private issuers or poolers, whether or not such securities are subject to
guarantees, may entail greater risk than securities directly or indirectly
guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
About Mortgage-Backed Securities. Interests in pools of mortgage-backed
securities differ from other forms of debt securities, which normally provide
for periodic payment of interest in fixed amounts with principal payments at
maturity or specified call dates. Instead, these securities provide a monthly
payment which consists of both interest and principal payments. In effect, these
payments are a "pass-through" of the monthly payments made by the individual
borrowers on their residential mortgage loans, net of any fees paid. Additional
payments are caused by repayments resulting from the sale of the underlying
residential property, refinancing or foreclosure net of fees or costs which may
be incurred. Some mortgage-backed securities are described as "modified
pass-through." These securities entitle the holders to receive all interest and
principal payments owed on the mortgages in the pool, net of certain fees,
regardless of whether or not the mortgagors actually make the payments.
Residential mortgage loans are pooled by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC). FHLMC is a corporate instrumentality of the U.S. Government
and was created by Congress in 1970 for the purpose of increasing the
availability of mortgage credit for residential housing. Its stock is owned by
the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks. FHLMC issues Participation Certificates
("PC's") which represent interests in mortgages from FHLMC's national portfolio.
FHLMC guarantees the timely payment of interest and ultimate collection of
principal.
The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) is a Government
sponsored corporation owned entirely by private stockholders. It is subject to
general regulation by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. FNMA
purchases residential mortgages from a list of approved seller/servicers which
A-2
<PAGE>
include state and federally-chartered savings and loan associations, mutual
savings banks, commercial banks and credit unions and mortgage bankers.
Pass-through securities issued by FNMA are guaranteed as to timely payment of
principal and interest by FNMA.
The principal Government guarantor of mortgage-backed securities is the
Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). GNMA is a wholly-owned U.S.
Government corporation within the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
FNMA is authorized to guarantee, with the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government, the timely payment of principal and interest on securities issued by
approved institutions and backed by pools of FHA-insured or VA-guaranteed
mortgages.
Commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage
insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers also
create pass-through pools of conventional residential mortgage loans. Pools
created by such non-governmental issuers generally offer a higher rate of
interest than Government and Government-related pools because there are no
direct or indirect Government guarantees of payments in the former pools.
However, timely payment of interest and principal of these pools is supported by
various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual loan, title, pool
and hazard insurance purchased by the issuer. The insurance and guarantees are
issued by Governmental entities, private insurers and the mortgage poolers.
There can be no assurance that the private insurers or mortgage poolers can meet
their obligations under the policies.
The Funds expect that Governmental or private entities may create
mortgage loan pools offering pass-through investments in addition to those
described above. The mortgages underlying these securities may be alternative
mortgage instruments, that is, mortgage instruments whose principal or interest
payment may vary or whose terms to maturity may be shorter than previously
customary. As new types of mortgage-backed securities are developed and offered
to investors, each of the Government Cash Portfolio and the Intermediate
Government Portfolio will, consistent with its investment objective and
policies, consider making investments in such new types of securities.
Underlying Mortgages. Pools consist of whole mortgage loans or
participations in loans. The majority of these loans are made to purchasers of
1-4 family homes. The terms and characteristics of the mortgage instruments are
generally uniform within a pool but may vary among pools. For example, in
addition to fixed-rate, fixed-term mortgages, the Intermediate Government
Portfolio may purchase pools of variable rate mortgages (VRM), growing equity
mortgages (GEM), graduated payment mortgages (GPM) and other types where the
A-3
<PAGE>
principal and interest payment procedures vary. VRMs are mortgages which reset
the mortgage's interest rate periodically with changes in open market interest
rates. To the extent that the Portfolio is actually invested in VRMs, the
Portfolio's interest income will vary with changes in the applicable interest
rate on pools of VRMs. GPM and GEM pools maintain constant interest rates, with
varying levels of principal repayment over the life of the mortgage. These
different interest and principal payment procedures should not impact the
Portfolio's net asset value since the prices at which these securities are
valued will reflect the payment procedures.
All poolers apply standards for qualification to local lending
institutions which originate mortgages for the pools. Poolers also establish
credit standards and underwriting criteria for individual mortgages included in
the pools. In addition, some mortgages included in pools are insured through
private mortgage insurance companies.
Average Life. The average life of pass-through pools varies with the
maturities of the underlying mortgage instruments. In addition, a pool's term
may be shortened by unscheduled or early payments of principal and interest on
the underlying mortgages. The occurrence of mortgage prepayments is affected by
factors including the level of interest rate, general economic conditions, the
location and age of the mortgage and other social and demographic conditions.
As prepayment rates of individual pools vary widely, it is not possible
to accurately predict the average life of a particular pool. For pools of fixed
rate 30 year mortgages, common industry practice is to assume that prepayments
will result in a 12-year average life. Pools of mortgages with other maturities
or different characteristics will have varying assumptions for average life.
Returns on Mortgage-Backed Securities. Yields on mortgage-backed
pass-through securities are typically quoted based on the maturity of the
underlying instruments and the associated average life assumption. Actual
prepayment experience may cause the yield to differ from the assumed average
life yield.
Reinvestment of prepayments may occur at higher or lower interest rates
than the original investment, thus affecting the yields of the Portfolios which
invest in them. The compounding effect from reinvestments of monthly payments
received by a Portfolio will increase its yield to shareholders, compared to
bonds that pay interest semi-annually.

III. Description of U.S. Government Securities and Certain Other
Securities
The term "U.S. Government securities" refers to a variety of securities
which are issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, and by various
instrumentalities which have been established or sponsored by the United States
Government.
U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the "full faith and credit" of
the United States. Securities issued or guaranteed by Federal agencies and U.S.
Government sponsored enterprises or instrumentalities may or may not be backed
by the full faith and credit of the United States. In the case of securities not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, an investor must look
principally to the agency, enterprise or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing
the obligation for ultimate repayment, and may not be able to assert a claim
against the United States itself in the event the agency, enterprise or
instrumentality does not meet its commitment. Agencies which are backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States include the Export Import Bank,
Farmers Home Administration, Federal Financing Bank and others. Certain
agencies, enterprises and instrumentalities, such as the Government National
Mortgage Association are, in effect, backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States through provisions in their charters that they may make
"indefinite and unlimited" drawings on the Treasury, if needed to service its
debt. Debt from certain other agencies, enterprises and instrumentalities,
including the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal National Mortgage Association,
are not guaranteed by the United States, but those institutions are protected by
the discretionary authority for the U.S. Treasury to purchase certain amounts of
their securities to assist the institution in meeting its debt obligations.
Finally, other agencies, enterprises and instrumentalities, such as the Farm
Credit System and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, are federally
chartered institutions under Government supervision, but their debt securities
are backed only by the creditworthiness of those institutions, not the U.S.
Government.
Some of the U.S. Government agencies that issue or guarantee securities
include the Export-Import Bank of the United States, Farmers Home
Administration, Federal Housing Administration, Maritime Administration, Small
Business Administration and The Tennessee Valley Authority.
An instrumentality of the U.S. Government is a Government agency
organized under Federal charter with Government supervision. Instrumentalities
issuing or guaranteeing securities include, among others, Overseas Private
Investment Corporation, Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Land Banks,
A-5
<PAGE>
Central Bank for Cooperatives, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks and the Federal
National Mortgage Association.
International institutions that issue securities which the Intermediate
Government Portfolio may purchase include the Asian Development Bank,
Inter-American Development Bank and the International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development (the "World Bank").
IV. Description of Municipal Obligations
Municipal Obligations generally include debt obligations issued by
states and their political subdivisions, and duly constituted authorities and
corporations, to obtain funds to construct, repair or improve various public
facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, hospitals, housing, schools,
streets and water and sewer works. Municipal Obligations may also be issued to
refinance outstanding obligations as well as to obtain funds for general
operating expenses and for loan to other public institutions and facilities.
The two principal classifications of Municipal Obligations are "general
obligation" and "revenue" or "special tax" bonds. General obligation bonds are
secured by the issuer's pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for
the payment of principal and interest. Revenue or special tax bonds are payable
only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities
or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise or other tax, but not
from general tax revenues. The Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio may also invest in
tax-exempt industrial development bonds, short-term municipal obligations (rated
SP-1+ or SP-1 by S&P or MIG-1/VMIG-1 by Moody's), project notes, demand notes
and tax-exempt commercial paper (rated A-1+ or A-1 by S&P or P-1 by Moody's),
and municipal bonds with a remaining effective maturity of 13 months or less
(rated AA or better by S&P or Aa or better by Moody's).
Industrial revenue bonds in most cases are revenue bonds and generally
do not have the pledge of the credit of the issuer. The payment of the principal
and interest on such industrial revenue bonds is dependent solely on the ability
of the user of the facilities financed by the bonds to meet its financial
obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and personal property so financed as
security for such payment. Short-term municipal obligations issued by states,
cities, municipalities or municipal agencies, include Tax Anticipation Notes,
Revenue Anticipation Notes, Bond Anticipation Notes, Construction Loan Notes and
Short-Term Discount Notes. Project Notes are instruments guaranteed by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development but issued by a state or local
housing agency. While the issuing agency has the primary obligation on Project
Notes, they are also secured by the full faith and credit of the United States.
A-6
<PAGE>
Municipal Obligations may also include "moral obligation" bonds, which
are normally issued by special purpose public authorities. If the issuer of
moral obligation bonds is unable to meet its debt service obligations from
current revenues, it may draw on a reserve fund, the restoration of which is a
moral commitment but not a legal obligation of the state or municipality which
created the issuer.
Note obligations with demand or put options may have a stated maturity
in excess of 13 months, but permit any holder to demand payment of principal
plus accrued interest upon a specified number of days' notice. Frequently, such
obligations are secured by letters of credit or other credit support
arrangements provided by banks. The issuer of such notes normally has a
corresponding right, after a given period, to repay in its discretion the
outstanding principal of the note plus accrued interest upon a specific number
of days' notice to the bondholders. The interest rate on a demand note may be
based upon a known lending rate, such as a bank's prime rate, and be adjusted
when such rate changes, or the interest rate on a demand note may be a market
rate that is adjusted at specified intervals. The demand notes in which the
Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio will invest are payable on not more than thirteen
months notice.
The yields of Municipal Obligations depend on, among other things,
general money market conditions, conditions in the Municipal Obligation market,
the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation, and the
rating of the issue. The ratings of Moody's and S&P represent their opinions of
the quality of the Municipal Obligations rated by them. It should be emphasized
that such ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality.
Consequently, Municipal Obligations with the same maturity, coupon and rating
may have different yields, while Municipal Obligations of the same maturity and
coupon, but with different ratings may have the same yield. It will be the
responsibility of the Advisor to appraise independently the fundamental quality
of the bonds held by the Tax-Exempt Cash Portfolio.
Municipal Obligations are sometimes purchased on a "when issued" basis,
which means the buyer has committed to purchase certain specified securities at
an agreed upon price when they are issued. The period between commitment date
and issuance date can be a month or more. It is possible that the securities
will never be issued and the commitment cancelled.
From time to time proposals have been introduced before Congress to
restrict or eliminate the Federal income tax exemption for interest on Municipal
Obligations. Similar proposals may be introduced in the future. If any such
proposal were enacted, it might restrict or eliminate the ability of the
A-7
<PAGE>
Tax-Exempt Cash, Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni Portfolios to achieve
their investment objectives. In that event the Funds' Board members and officers
would reevaluate the Tax-Exempt Cash, Muni Intermediate and New Jersey Muni
Portfolios' investment objectives and policies and consider recommending to
their shareholders changes in such objectives and policies.
V. Foreign Investments
Investors should recognize that investing in foreign companies involves
certain special considerations which are not typically associated with investing
in U.S. companies. Because the stocks of foreign companies are frequently
denominated in foreign currencies, and because the Equity, International, Small
Capitalization Equity, International Fixed Income and Model Equity Portfolios
may temporarily hold uninvested reserves in bank deposits in foreign currencies,
the Equity, International, Small Capitalization Equity, International Fixed
Income and Model Equity Portfolios may be affected favorably or unfavorably by
changes in currency rates and in exchange control regulations, and may incur
costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. The investment
policies of the International and International Fixed Income Portfolios permit
the Portfolios to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in
order to hedge the Portfolios' holdings and commitments against changes in the
level of future currency rates. Such contracts involve an obligation to purchase
or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the
contract.
As foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform accounting,
auditing and financial reporting standards and they may have policies that are
not comparable to those of domestic companies, there may be less information
available about certain foreign companies than about domestic companies.
Securities of some foreign companies are generally less liquid and more volatile
than securities of comparable domestic companies. There is generally less
government supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed
companies than in the U.S. In addition, there is the possibility of
expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or
diplomatic developments which could affect U.S. investments in foreign
countries.
Although the Equity, International, Small Capitalization Equity, and
Model Equity Portfolios will endeavor to achieve most favorable execution costs
in its portfolio transactions, fixed commissions on many foreign stock exchanges
are generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. exchanges.
Certain foreign governments levy withholding taxes on dividend and
interest income. Although in some countries a portion of these taxes are
A-8
<PAGE>
recoverable, the non-recovered portion of foreign withholding taxes will reduce
the income received from the foreign companies comprising the Equity,
International, Small Capitalization Equity, International Fixed Income and Model
Equity Portfolios.

Item 27. Indemnification
Reference is made to Article Ten of the Registrant's
Amended and Restated Article of Incorporation herein by
reference to Exhibit 1. Insofar as indemnification for
liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

have authority to issue is 2,500,000,000 shares of stock, with a par value of
one-tenth of one cent ($.001) per share to be known and designated as Common
Stock, such shares of Common Stock having an aggregate par value of $2,500,000.
Subject to the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation, the Board

Pursuant to Section 2-105 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the

Directors, the class may be liquidated by similar means. Each share of a class
shall have equal rights with each other share of that class with respect to the
assets of the Corporation pertaining to that class. The dividends payable to the
holders of any class (subject to any applicable rule, regulation or order of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable law or regulation)
shall be determined by the Board and need not be individually declared, but may
-2-
<PAGE>
be declared and paid in accordance with a formula adopted by the Board. Except
as otherwise provided herein, all references in these Articles of Incorporation
to Common Stock or class of stock shall apply without discrimination to the
shares of each class of stock.
The holder of each share of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled
to one vote for each full share, and a fractional vote for each fractional share
of stock, irrespective of the class, then standing in his or her name on the
books of the Corporation. On any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, all
shares of the Corporation then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote,
irrespective of the class shall be voted in the aggregate and not by class
except (1) when otherwise expressly provided by the Maryland General Corporation
Law, (2) when required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, shares
shall be voted by individual class; or (3) when the matter does not affect any
interest of a particular class, then only stockholders of such other class or
classes whose interests may be affected shall be entitled to vote hereon.
Holders of shares of stock of the Corporation shall not be entitled to
cumulative voting in the election of Directors or on any other matter.
Each class of stock of the Corporation shall have the following powers,
preferences and participating, voting, or other special rights and the
qualifications, restrictions, and limitations thereof shall be as follows:
1. All consideration received by the Corporation for the issue or sale
of stock of each class, together with all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or
liquidation thereof, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of
such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall irrevocably belong to the
class of shares of stock with respect to which such assets, payments or funds
were received by the Corporation for all purposes, subject only to the rights of
creditors, and shall be so handled upon the books of account of the Corporation.
Such assets, income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, including any
proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation thereof and any assets
derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may
be, are herein referred to as "assets belonging to" such class.
2. The Board of Directors may from time to time declare and pay
dividends or distributions, in stock or in cash, on any or all classes of stock;
provided, such dividends or distributions on shares of any class of stock shall
be paid only out of earnings, surplus, or other lawfully available assets
belonging to such class. Subject to the foregoing proviso, the amount of any
dividends or distributions and the payment thereof shall be wholly in the
discretion of the Board of Directors.
-3-
<PAGE>
3. The Board of Directors shall have the power in its discretion to
distribute in any fiscal year as dividends, including dividends designated in
whole or in part as capital gain distributions, amounts sufficient, in the
opinion of the Board of Directors, to enable the Corporation to qualify as a
"regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or any successor or comparable statute thereof, and regulations
promulgated thereunder (collectively, the "IRC"), and to avoid liability for the
Corporation for Federal income tax in respect of that year and to make other
appropriate adjustments in connection therewith.
4. In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation,
stockholders of each class shall be entitled to receive, as a class, out of the

than general assets, the assets belonging to such class, and the assets so
distributable to the stockholders of any class shall be distributed among such
stockholders in proportion to the number of shares of such class held by them
and recorded on the books of the corporation. In the event that there are any

liabilities, including accrued expenses and reserves, as to the allocation of
the same as to a given class, and as to whether the same or general assets of
the Corporation are allocable to one or more classes.
The Board of Directors may provide for a holder of any class of stock
of the Corporation who surrenders his certificate in good form for transfer to
the Corporation or, if the shares in question are not represented by
certificates, who complies with procedures established from time to time by the
Board of Directors, to convert the shares in question on such basis as the Board
may provide into shares of stock of any other class of the Corporation.
The holders of the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the
Corporation shall have no preemptive rights to subscribe to new or additional
shares of its Common Stock or other securities.

the number is never less than three. The names of the current
directors who shall act until the first annual meeting or until
their successors are duly chosen and qualify are: John W.
Church, Jr., Willard S. Boothby, Jr., Otto F. Haas, Ph.D., G.
Thompson Pew, and Francis J. Palamara.
SEVENTH: The following provisions are inserted for the
management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of
the Corporation:
1. The Board shall have power to fix an initial offering price for the
shares of any class which shall yield to the Corporation not less than the par
value thereof, at which price the shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation
shall be offered for sale, and to determine from time to time thereafter the
offering price which shall yield to the Corporation not less than the par value
thereof from sales of the shares of its Common Stock provided, however, that no
shares of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall be issued or sold for a
consideration which shall yield to the Corporation less than the net asset value
of such class determined in such manner and at such times as may be approved
from time to time by the Board of Directors.
For the purpose of these Articles of Incorporation, a 'national
financial emergency' is defined as the whole or any part of any period (i)
during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend
and holiday closings, (ii) during which trading on the New York Stock Exchange
is restricted, (iii) during which an emergency exists as a result of which
disposal by the Corporation of securities owned by such class is not reasonably
practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Corporation fairly to
determine the value of the net assets of such class, or (iv) during any other
period when the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any succeeding
governmental authority) may for the protection of security holders of the
Corporation by order permit suspension of the right of redemption or
postponement of the date of payment on redemption. The Board of Directors may,
in its discretion declare the suspension relating to a national financial
emergency shall terminate as the case may be on the first business day on which
said Stock Exchange shall have opened or the period specified in (ii) or (iii)
shall have expired as to which in the absence of an official ruling by said
Commission or succeeding authority, the determination of the Board of Directors
shall be conclusive.

<PAGE>
2. To the extent permitted by law, subject to the right of the
Board of Directors to suspend the right of redemption of shares of Common Stock
of the Corporation or postpone the date of such redemption in accordance with
applicable provisions of law, including without limitation, in the case of a
national financial emergency, the Corporation shall redeem shares of its Common
Stock from its stockholders upon request of the holder thereof received by the
Corporation or its designated agent during business hours of any business day,
provided that such request must be accompanied by surrender of outstanding
certificate or certificates for such shares in form for transfer and insofar as
it may relate to shares for which no certificate has been issued shall be in
accordance with such procedures as may be established from time to time by the
Board of Directors, together with such proof of the authenticity of signatures
as may reasonably be required with respect to such shares (or, on such request
in the event no certificate is outstanding) by, or pursuant to the direction of
the Board of the Corporation, and accompanied by proper stock transfer stamps.
Shares redeemed upon any such request shall be purchased by the Corporation at
the net asset value of such shares determined in the manner provided in
Paragraph (1) of this Article SEVENTH at the time specified in the Corporation's
then current prospectus.
Payments for shares of its Common Stock so redeemed by the Corporation
shall be made only from assets of the applicable class lawfully available
therefor and out of such assets. Payment shall be in cash, except payment for
such shares may, at the option of the Board of Directors, or such officer or
officers as they may duly authorize for the purpose in their complete
discretion, be made from the assets of that class in kind or partially in cash
and partially in kind. In case of any payment in kind the Board of Directors, or
its delegate, shall have absolute discretion as to what security or securities
constituting assets belonging to such class shall be distributed in kind and the
amount of the same; and the securities shall be valued for purpose of
distribution at the value at which they were appraised in computing the current
net asset value of the class of the Corporation's shares.
Payments for shares of its Common Stock so redeemed by the Corporation
shall be made by the Corporation as provided in the Corporation's then current
prospectus.
3. The Board of Directors, may from time to time, without the
vote or consent of stockholders, establish standards with respect to the minimum
net asset value of a stockholder or minimum investment which may be made by a
stockholder. The Board of Directors may authorize the closing of those
stockholder accounts not meeting a specified minimum of net asset value by
redeeming all of the shares in such accounts.
EIGHTH: The Corporation is expressly empowered as
follows:
-6-
<PAGE>
(a) The Corporation may enter into a written contract or
contracts with any person, including any firm, corporation, trust or association
in which any officer, other employee, director or stockholder of the Corporation
may be interested, providing for the delegation of the management of all of the
Corporation's securities portfolio and also for the delegation of the
performance of administrative corporate functions subject always to the
direction of the Board of Directors. The compensation payable by the Corporation
under such contracts shall be such as is deemed fair and equitable to both
parties by the Board of Directors. Each such contract shall in all respects be
consistent with and subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of
1940 as then in effect and regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(or any succeeding governmental authority) promulgated thereunder.
(b) The Corporation may appoint one or more distributors or agents or
both for the sale of the shares of the Corporation, may directly or indirectly
compensate such person or persons for the sale of such shares and may enter into
such contract or contracts with such person or persons as the Board of Directors
of the Corporation in its discretion may deem reasonable and proper.
(c) The Corporation may employ such custodian or custodians for the
safekeeping of the property of the Corporation and its shares, such dividends
disbursing agent or agents, and such transfer agent or agents and registrar or
registrars for its shares, and may make and perform such contracts for the
aforesaid purposes as in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation may be reasonable, necessary, or proper for the conduct of the
affairs of the Corporation, and may pay the fees and disbursements of such
custodians, dividend disbursing agent, transfer agents, and registrars out of
the income and/or any other property of the Corporation.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Articles of Incorporation
or the By-Laws of the Corporation, the Board of Directors may cause any or all
of the property of the Corporation to be transferred to or to be acquired and
held in the name of the Corporation or nominee or nominees of such custodian
satisfactory to the Board of Directors.
(d) All contracts entered into pursuant to subsections (a), (b), and
(c), of this Article EIGHTH shall in all respects be consistent with and subject
to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as then in effect and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
(e) The same person, partnership (general or limited), association
trust or corporation may be employed in any multiple capacity under subsection
(a), (b), and (c) of this Article EIGHTH and may receive compensation from the
-7-
<PAGE>
Corporation in as many capacities as such person, partnership (general or
limited), association, trust or corporation shall serve the Corporation. The
same person may be financially interested in or otherwise affiliated with
persons who are parties to any or all of the contracts entered into by the
Corporation pursuant to this Article EIGHTH. Any contract entered into pursuant
to this Article EIGHTH may be made with any person even though an officer, other
employee, director or stockholder of the Corporation may be such other person or
may have an interest in such other person. No contract entered into by the
Corporation with any other party pursuant to this Article EIGHTH shall be
invalidated or rendered voidable because any officer, other employee, director
or stockholder of the Corporation is such other party or has an interest in such
other party. No person having an interest in such other party shall be liable
merely by reason of such interest for any loss or expense to the Corporation
under or by reason of said contract or accountable for any profit realized
directly therefrom, provided that all provisions of applicable laws were
complied with when the Corporation entered into the contract.
NINTH: (a) The Corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers
to the fullest extent allowed, and in the manner provided, by Maryland law,
including the advancing of expenses incurred in connection therewith. Such
indemnification shall be in addition to any other right or claim to which any
director or officer may otherwise be entitled. The Corporation may purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation, or who, while a director, officer,
partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise or employee benefit plan,
against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such
capacity or arising out of such person's position, whether or not the
Corporation would have had the power to indemnify against such liability. To the
fullest extent that limitations on the liability of directors and officers are
permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, no director or officer of the
Corporation shall have any liability to the Corporation or its shareholders for
damages. This limitation on liability applies to events occurring at the time a
person serves as a director or officer of the Corporation whether or not such
person is a director or officer at the time of any proceeding in which such
liability is asserted.
(b) Nothing contained in this Article NINTH protects or purports to
protect, or may be interpreted or construed to protect, any director or officer
against liability to the Corporation or its stockholders to which he or she
would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or
her office.
-8-
<PAGE>
(c) Each provision of this Article NINTH shall be severable from the
remainder, and the invalidity of any such provision shall not effect the
validity of the remainder of this Article NINTH.
TENTH: In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the powers
conferred by the laws of the State of Maryland, the Board of
Directors is expressly authorized:
(i) To make, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation.
(ii) From time to time to determine whether and to what extent and at
what times and places and under what conditions and regulations the books and
accounts of the Corporation, or any of them other than the stock ledger, shall
be open to the inspection of the stockholders, and no stockholder shall have any
right to inspect any account or book or document of the Corporation, except as
conferred by law or authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors or of the
stockholders.
(iii) Without the assent or vote of the stockholders, to authorize and
issue obligations of the corporation, secured and unsecured, as the Board of
Directors may determine, and to authorize and cause to be executed mortgages and
liens upon the property of the Corporation, real or personal but only to the
extent permitted by the fundamental policies of the Corporation recited in its
registration statement filed pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940.
(iv) In addition to the powers and authorities granted herein and by
statue expressly conferred upon it, the Board of Directors is authorized to
exercise all such powers and do all acts and things as may be exercised or done
by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of Maryland law, of
these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, and of the By-Laws of the
Corporation.
ELEVENTH: The Corporation acknowledges that it has obtained its
corporate name by consent of The Glenmede Trust Company, a wholly owned
subsidiary of The Glenmede Corporation, having an office at 229 South 18th St.,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which consent was given in reliance and upon the
provisions hereafter contained in this Article ELEVENTH. The Corporation agrees
that if The Glenmede Trust Company should cease to be the investment adviser of
the Corporation, the Corporation will, upon written demand of The Glenmede Trust
Company forthwith (a) for a period of two years after such written demand, state
in all prospectuses, advertising material, letterheads and other material
designed to be read by investors or prospective investors, in a prominent
position and in prominent type (as may be reasonably approved by The Glenmede
Trust Company), that The Glenmede Trust Company no longer serves as the
-9-
<PAGE>
investment adviser of the Corporation, and (b) delete from its name the word
"Glenmede" or any approximation thereof. The Corporation further agrees that The
Glenmede Trust Company may permit other persons, partnerships (general or
limited), associations, trusts, corporations or other incorporated or
unincorporated groups of persons, including without limitation any investment
company or companies of any type which may be initially sponsored or organized
by The Glenmede Trust Company in the future, to use the word "Glenmede" or any
approximation thereof as part of their names. As used herein, "The Glenmede
Trust Company" shall include any successor corporation, partnership, limited
partnership, trust or person.
TWELFTH: The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any
provisions contained in applicable statutes) outside the State of Maryland at
such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of
Directors or in the By-Laws of the Corporation. Election of directors need not
be by ballot unless the By-Laws of the Corporation shall so provide.
THIRTEENTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change
or repeal any provision contained in these Articles of Incorporation, in the
manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon
stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.
FOURTEENTH: Notwithstanding any provision of Maryland law requiring
more than a majority vote of the Common Stock, or any class thereof, in
connection with any corporation action (including, but not limited to, the
amendment of these Articles of Incorporation), unless otherwise provided in
these Articles of Incorporation the Corporation may take or authorize such
action upon the favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon.
FIFTEENTH: "The duration of the Corporation shall be
perpetual."
THIRD: These Articles of Amendment and Restatement include all
provisions of the charter currently in effect.

majority of the Board of Directors, and shall be called by the Chairman of the
Board, President or Secretary upon written request of the holders of shares
entitled to cast not less than twenty-five percent of all the votes entitled to
be cast at such meeting provided that (a) such request shall state the purposes
of such meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on, and (b) the
Stockholders requesting such meeting shall have paid to the Corporation the
reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing the notice thereof, which the
Secretary shall determine and specify to such Stockholders. No Special Meeting
need be called to consider any matter which is substantially the same as a

the date of every Annual or Special Stockholders' Meeting, the Secretary shall

cast at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at
the meeting, except that where any provision of law or the Articles of
Incorporation require that the holders of any class of shares shall vote as a
-2-
<PAGE>
class, then a majority of the aggregate number of shares of that class at the
time outstanding shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction
of such business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented
at any meeting of the Stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at, or act
as Secretary of such meeting, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from
time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a
quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which

share and a fractional vote for each fractional share of stock having voting
power held by such Stockholder on the record date set pursuant to Section 5 on
each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of Stockholders. Such vote may be
made in person or by proxy. If no record date has been fixed for the
determination of Stockholders, the record date for the determination of
Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders shall
be at the close of business (i) on the day on which notice of the meeting is
mailed or (ii) on the day 30 days before the meeting, whichever is the closer
date to the meeting. At all meetings of the Stockholders, a quorum being
present, all matters shall be decided by majority vote of the shares of stock
entitled to vote held by Stockholders present in person or by proxy, unless
otherwise expressly provided by the laws of the State of Maryland the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as from time to time amended, or the Articles of
Incorporation, in which case such express provision shall control. At all
meetings of Stockholders, unless the voting is conducted by inspectors, all
questions relating to the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies
and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by the Chairman of the
meeting.
Section 8. Voting - Proxies. The right to vote by proxy shall exist
only if the instrument authorizing such proxy to act shall have been executed in
writing by the Stockholder himself or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized
in writing. No proxy shall be voted on after eleven months from its date unless
it provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be in writing subscribed by
the Stockholder or his duly authorized attorney and shall be dated, but need not
be sealed, witnessed or acknowledged. Proxies shall be delivered to the
Secretary of the Corporation or person acting as Secretary of the meeting before
being voted. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two or more
persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or prior to exercise
of such proxy the Corporation received a specific written notice to the contrary
from any one of them. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a
Stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise.

record of the Corporation for more than six months next preceding such request,
who owns or own in the aggregate 5% or more of the outstanding capital stock of
the Corporation, may submit a written request to any officer of the Corporation.

Corporation's principal office a list containing the names and addresses of all
Stockholders of the Corporation and the number of shares of each class held by
each Stockholder, certified as correct by an officer of the Corporation, by its

Stockholders may be taken without a meeting if all Stockholders entitled to vote

treated for all purposes as a vote at a meeting.

designated thereby may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by
means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of

resolution of the Board of Directors each committee may adopt such rules and
regulations governing its proceedings, quorum and manner of acting as it shall
deem proper and desirable, provided that the quorum shall not be less than two
Directors. The committees shall keep minutes of their proceedings and shall

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made this 25th day of October, 1988 by and between The
Glenmede Fund, Inc. a Maryland corporation (the "Fund") and The Glenmede Trust

investment adviser to the Fund's Government Cash Portfolio, Tax-Exempt Cash
Portfolio, Intermediate Government Portfolio and International Portfolio, and
such other Portfolios as may be offered by the Fund, for the period and on such

the Portfolios, to determine in its discretion the securities to be purchased or
sold and the portion of each such Portfolio's assets to be held uninvested, to
provide the Fund with records concerning the Adviser's activities which the Fund
is required to maintain, and to render regular reports to the Fund's officers
and Board of Directors concerning the Adviser's discharge of the foregoing
responsibilities. The Adviser shall discharge the foregoing responsibilities
subject to the control of the officers and the Board of Directors of the Fund,
and in compliance with the objectives, policies and limitations set forth in the

herein. Subject to policies established by the Board of Directors of the Fund,
the Adviser may also be authorized to effect individual securities transactions
at commission rates in excess of the minimum commission rates available, if the
Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage or research services provided by such
broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the
Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and other accounts
as to which the Adviser exercises investment discretion. The execution of such
transactions shall not be deemed to represent an unlawful act or breach of any
duty created by this Agreement or otherwise. The Adviser will promptly

to portfolio transactions as they may reasonably request.

Adviser provides investment advisory, personal trust, estate, custodian or other
services to such shareholder on an individual basis. The shareholder will pay a
fee directly to the Adviser based on the services provided by the Adviser and
the total assets of the shareholder managed by the Adviser, including the
portion of such assets invested in the Fund.
4. Other Services. At the request of the Fund, the Adviser in its
discretion may make available to the Fund office facilities, equipment, and
other services. Such office facilities, equipment, and services shall be
provided for or rendered by the Adviser and billed to the Fund at the Adviser's

of any other activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Fund's
shares.

their affairs as each may reasonably request.

to others so long as its services to the Fund are not impaired thereby.

faith or gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in performance of its
obligations and duties hereunder, (ii) reckless disregard by the Adviser of its

any other act of omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder including, without limitation, for any losses that may be

authorized to effect individual securities transactions at commission rates in
excess of the minimum commission rates available, if the Adviser determines in
good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value
of the brokerage or research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed
in terms of either that particular transaction or the Adviser's overall
responsibilities with respect to the Company and other accounts as to which the
Adviser exercises investment discretion. The execution of such transactions
shall not be deemed to represent an unlawful act or breach of any duty by this
Agreement or otherwise. The Adviser will promptly communicate to the officers
and Directors of the Company such information relating to Portfolio transactions
as they may reasonably request.
3. Compensation of the Adviser. For the services provided and the
expenses assumed pursuant to this Agreement, effective as of the date hereof,
the Portfolio will pay the Adviser and the Adviser will accept as full
compensation therefor, a fee computed daily and paid monthly (in arrears), at an
annual rate of .50% of the average daily net assets held in the Portfolio.
If in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed
the expense limitations of any state having jurisdiction over the Portfolio, the
-2-
<PAGE>
Adviser will reimburse the Portfolio for such excess expenses. The obligation of
the Adviser to reimburse the Portfolio hereunder is limited in any fiscal year
to the amount of its fee hereunder for such fiscal year, provided however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser shall reimburse the Portfolio for
such excess expenses regardless of the amount of fees paid to it during such
fiscal year to the extent that the securities regulations of any state having
jurisdiction over the Portfolio so requires. Such expense reimbursement, if any,
will be estimated, reconciled and paid on a monthly basis.
4. Other Services. At the request of the Company, the Adviser in its
discretion may make available to the Company office facilities, equipment, and
other services. Such office facilities, equipment, and services shall be
provided for or rendered by the Adviser and billed to the Company at the
Adviser's cost. The Adviser further agrees to assume the cost of printing and
mailing prospectuses to persons other than current shareholders of the Company
and the cost of any other activities primarily intended to result in the sale of
the Company's shares.
5. Reports. The Company and the Adviser agree to furnish to each other
current prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, certified
copies of their financial statements, and such other information with regard to
their affairs as each may reasonably request.
6. Status of Adviser. The services of the Adviser to the Company are
not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free to render similar
services to others so long as its services to the Company are not impaired
thereby.
7. Liability of Adviser. In the absence of (i) wilful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in performance of its
obligations and duties hereunder, (ii) reckless disregard by the Adviser of its
-3-
<PAGE>
obligations and duties hereunder, or (iii) a loss resulting from a breach of
fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services (in
which case any award of damages shall be limited to the period and the amount
set forth in Section 36(b)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940
Act"), the Adviser shall not be subject to any liability whatsoever to the
Company or to any shareholder of the Company, for any error or judgment, mistake
of law or any other act or omission in the course of, or connected with,
rendering services hereunder including without limitation, for any losses that
may be sustained in connection with the purchase, holding redemption or sale of
any security on behalf of the Portfolio.
8. Permissible Interests. Subject to and in accordance with the

may be interested in the Adviser (or any successor thereof) as Directors,

shareholders of the Adviser are or may be interested in the Company as

successor) is or may be interested in the Company as a shareholder or otherwise;
and that the effect of any such interrelationships shall be governed by said

value of the brokerage or research services provided by such broker or dealer,
viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser's
overall responsibilities with respect to the Company and other accounts as to
which the Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion. The execution of such

hereunder, (ii) reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser of its obligations and

SUB-DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
, 19
------------------------- ---
Gentlemen:
Armata Financial Corp. ("AFC"), a Maryland corporation, serves
as distributor (the "Distributor") of The Glenmede Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"). The
Fund is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). The Fund offers its
shares ("Shares") to the public in accordance with the terms and conditions
contained in its Prospectus. The term "Prospectus" used herein refers to the
prospectus on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission which is part of
the Fund's registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"). In connection with the foregoing you may serve as a
participating dealer (and, therefore, accept orders for the purchase or
redemption of Shares, respond to shareholder inquiries and perform other related
functions) on the following terms and conditions:
1. Participating Dealer. You are hereby designated a
Participating Dealer and as such are authorized (i) to accept orders for the
purchase of Shares and to transmit to the Fund such orders and the payment made
therefore, (ii) to accept orders for the redemption of Shares and to transmit to
the Fund such orders and all additional material, including any certificates for
Shares, as may be required to complete the redemption and (iii) to assist
shareholders with the foregoing and other matters relating to their investments
in the Fund, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Fund's Prospectus. You are to review each Share purchase or redemption order
submitted through you or with your assistance for completeness and accuracy. You
further agree to undertake from time to time certain shareholder servicing
activities for customers of yours who have purchased Shares and who use your
facilities to communicate with the Fund or to effect redemptions or additional
purchases of Shares.
2. Limitation of Authority. No person is authorized to make
any representations concerning the Fund or the Shares except those contained in
the Fund's Prospectus and in such printed information as the Distributor may
subsequently prepare. No person is authorized to distribute any sales material
relating to the Fund without the prior written approval of the Distributor.
3. Compensation. As compensation for such services, you will
look solely to the Distributor, and you acknowledge that the Fund shall have no
direct responsibility for any compensation.
4. Prospectus and Reports. You agree to comply with the
provisions contained in the Securities Act governing the distribution of
prospectuses to persons to whom you offer Shares. You further agree to deliver,
upon our request, copies of any amended Prospectus of the Fund to purchasers
whose Shares you are holding as record owner and to deliver to such persons
<PAGE>
copies of the annual interim reports and proxy solicitation materials of the
Fund. We agree to furnish to you as many copies of the Fund's Prospectus,
annual and interim reports and proxy solicitation materials as you may
reasonably request.
5. Qualifications to Act. You represent that you are a member
in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the
"NASD"). Your expulsion or suspension from the NASD will automatically terminate
this Agreement on the effective date of such expulsion or suspension. You agree
that you will not offer Shares to persons in any jurisdiction in which you may
not lawfully make such offer due to the fact that you have not registered under,
or are not exempt from, the applicable registration or licensing requirements of
such jurisdiction. You agree that in performing the services under this
Agreement, you at all times will comply with the Rules of Fair Practice of the
NASD, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 26 of such Rules.
You agree that you will not combine customer orders to reach breakpoints in
commissions for any purposes whatsoever unless authorized by the then current
Prospectus in respect of Shares of a particular class or by us in writing. You
also agree that you will place orders immediately upon their receipt and will
not withhold any order so as to profit therefrom. In determining the amount
payable to you hereunder, we reserve the right to exclude any sales which we
reasonably determine are not made in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus
and provisions of the Agreement.
6. Blue Sky. The Fund has registered an indefinite number of
Shares under the Securities Act. The Fund intends to register or qualify in
certain states where registration or qualification is required. We inform you as
to the states or other jurisdictions in which we believe the Shares have been
qualified for sale under, or are exempt from the requirements of, the respective
securities laws of such states. You agree that you will offer Shares to your
customers only in those states where such Shares have been registered,
qualified, or an exemption is available. We assume no responsibility or
obligation as to your right to sell Shares in any jurisdiction. We will file
with the Department of State in New York a State Notice and a Further State
Notice with respect to the Shares, if necessary.
7. Authority of Fund. The Fund shall have full authority to
take such action as it deems advisable in respect of all matters pertaining to
the offering of its Shares, including the right not to accept any order for the
purchase of Shares.
8. Record Keeping. You will (i) maintain all records required
by law to be kept by you relating to transactions in Shares and, upon request by
the Fund, promptly make such of these records available to the Fund as the Fund
may reasonably request in connection with its operations and (ii) promptly
notify the Fund if you experience any difficulty in maintaining the records
described in the foregoing clauses in an accurate and complete manner.
9. Liability. The Distributor shall be under no liability to
you except for lack of good faith and for obligations expressly assumed by them
hereunder, and the Fund shall have no liability to you in connection with the
matters to which this Agreement relates. In carrying out your obligations, you
agree to act in good faith and without negligence. Nothing contained in this
Agreement is intended to operate as a waiver by the Distributor or you of
compliance with any provision of the Investment Company Act, the Securities Act,
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and
regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either
party, without penalty, upon ten days' notice to the other party and shall
automatically terminate in the event of its assignment (as defined in the
Investment Company Act). This Agreement may also be terminated at any time
without penalty by the vote of a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors of the Fund who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the
Investment Company Act) and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in
the operation of the Distribution Agreement between the Fund and the Distributor
or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.
<PAGE>
11. Communications. All communications to us should be sent to
135 East Baltimore Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202. Any notice to you shall be
duly given if mailed or telegraphed to you at the address specified by you

EXHIBIT (8)(a)
CUSTODY AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT effective as of December 13, 1994 as amended and restated as
of May 1, 1995 between THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, N.A. ("Bank") and THE GLENMEDE
FUND, INC. (the "Fund").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Fund wishes to retain Bank to provide custodian services
to the Fund for the benefit of the investment portfolios of the Fund listed on
Exhibit A hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time by the parties
hereto (each a "Portfolio," collectively, "Portfolios") and Bank is willing to
furnish such services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, it is agreed between the parties hereto as follows:
1. Custody Account. The Bank agrees to establish and maintain (a) a
separate custody account for each Portfolio of the Fund ("Custody Account") for
any and all stocks, shares, bonds, debentures, notes, mortgages or other
obligations for the payment of money and any certificates, receipts, warrants or
other instruments representing rights to receive, purchase or subscribe for the
same or evidencing or representing any other rights of interests therein and
other similar property (hereinafter called "Securities") from time to time
<PAGE>
received by the Bank or any subcustodian (as defined in the second paragraph of
Section 3 hereof) for the account of the particular Portfolio of the Fund and
(b) a separate deposit account(s) in the name of each Portfolio of the Fund
("Deposit Account") for any and all cash and cash equivalents in any currency
received by the Bank or any subcustodian for the account of the particular
Portfolio of the Fund, which cash shall not be subject to withdrawal by draft
or check. The term "Property" as used herein shall mean all Securities, cash,
cash equivalents and other assets of the Fund.
2. Maintenance of Property Domestically and Abroad. Securities in a
Custody Account shall be held in the country or other jurisdiction as shall be
specified from time to time in Instructions (as defined in Section 9 hereof),
provided that such country or other jurisdiction shall be one in which the
principal trading market for such Securities is located or the country of other
jurisdiction in which such Securities are to be presented for payment or are
acquired for the Custody Account, and cash in a Deposit Account shall be
credited to an account in such country or other jurisdiction in which such cash
may be legally deposited or is the legal currency for the payment of public or
private debts. Cash may be held pursuant to Instructions in either interest or
non-interest bearing accounts as may be available for the particular currency.
To the extent Instructions are issued and the Bank can comply with such
Instructions, the Bank is authorized to maintain cash balances on deposit for
the Fund with itself or one of its affiliates at such reasonable rates of
-2-
<PAGE>
interest as may from time to time be paid on such accounts, or in non-interest
bearing accounts as the Fund may direct, if acceptable to the Bank.
3. Eligible Foreign Custodians and Securities Depositories. The Board
of Directors of the Fund authorizes the Bank to hold the Securities in the
Custody Account(s) and the cash in the Deposit Account(s) in custody and deposit
accounts, respectively, which have been established by the Bank with one of its
branches, a branch of a qualified U.S. bank, an eligible foreign custodian or an
eligible foreign securities depository; provided, however, that the Board of
Directors of the Fund has approved the use of, and the Bank's contract with,
such eligible foreign custodian or eligible foreign securities depository by
resolution, and Instructions to such effect have been provided to the Bank.
Furthermore, if a Bank's branch, a branch of a qualified U.S. bank or an
eligible foreign custodian is selected to act as the Bank's subcustodian to hold
any Property, such entity is authorized to hold such Property in its account
with any eligible foreign securities depository in which it participates so long
as such foreign securities depository has been approved by the Board of
Directors of the Fund. For purposes of this Agreement "qualified U.S. bank" and
"eligible foreign custodian," shall have the same meanings as are given in Rule
17f-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("Rule 17f-5") and
"eligible foreign securities depository" shall be a depository within the
meaning of Rule 17f-5(c)(2)(iii) and (iv).
-3-
<PAGE>
Hereinafter the term "subcustodian" will refer to any Bank branch, any
branch of a qualified U.S. bank, any eligible foreign custodian or any eligible
foreign securities depository with which the Bank has entered into an agreement
of the type contemplated hereunder regarding Securities and/or cash held in or
to be acquired for a Custody Account or a Deposit Account.
If, after the initial approval of the subcustodians by the Board of
Directors of the Fund in connection with this Agreement, the Bank wishes to
appoint other subcustodians to hold the Fund's Property, it will so notify the
Fund and will provide it with information reasonably necessary to determine any
such new subcustodian's eligibility under Rule 17f-5, including a copy of the
proposed agreement with such subcustodian. The Fund shall within 30 days after
receipt of such notice give a written approval or disapproval of the proposed
action.
If the Bank intends to remove any subcustodian previously approved, it
shall so notify the Fund and shall move the Property deposited with such
subcustodian to another subcustodian previously approved or to a new
subcustodian, provided that the appointment of any new subcustodian will be
subject to the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Bank shall
take steps as may be required to remove any subcustodian which has ceased to
meet the requirements of Rule 17f-5.
-4-
<PAGE>
4. Use of Subcustodians. With respect to Property which is maintained
by the Bank in the physical custody of a subcustodian pursuant to Section 3:
(a) The Bank will identify on its books as belonging to the
particular Portfolio of the Fund any Property held by such subcustodian.
(b) In the event that a subcustodian permits any of the
Securities placed in its care to be held in an eligible foreign securities
depository, such subcustodian will be required by its agreement with the Bank to
identify on its books such Securities as being held for the account of the Bank
as a custodian for its customers.
(c) Any Securities in a Custody Account held by a subcustodian
of the Bank will be subject only to the instructions of the Bank or its agents;
and any Securities held in an eligible foreign securities depository for the
account of a subcustodian will be subject only to the instructions of such
subcustodian.
(d) The Bank will only deposit Securities in an account with a
subcustodian which includes exclusively the assets held by the Bank for its
customers, and the Bank will cause such account to be designated by such
subcustodian as a special custody account for the exclusive benefit of customers
of the Bank.
(e) Any agreement the Bank shall enter into with a
subcustodian with respect to the holding of Securities shall require that (i)
-5-
<PAGE>
the Securities are not subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien or
claim of any kind in favor of such subcustodian or its creditors except for a
claim of payment for its safe custody or administration and (ii) beneficial
ownership of such Securities is freely transferable without the payment of money
or value other than for safe custody or administration; provided, however, that
the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that any of the above-mentioned
rights, charges, etc. result from any compensation or other expenses arising
with respect to the safekeeping of Securities pursuant to such agreement.
(f) The Bank shall allow independent public accountants of the
Fund such reasonable access to the records of the Bank relating to Property held
in a Custody Account and a Deposit Account as required by such accountants in
connection with their examination of the books and records pertaining to the
affairs of the Fund. The Bank shall, subject to restrictions under applicable
law, also obtain from any subcustodian with which the Fund maintains the
physical possession of any Property an undertaking to permit independent public
accountants of the Fund such reasonable access to the records of such
subcustodian as may be required in connection with their examination of the
books and records pertaining to the affairs of the Fund or to supply a
verifiable confirmation of the contents of such records. The Bank shall furnish
the Fund such reports (or portions thereof) of the Bank's external auditors as
relate directly to the Bank's system of internal accounting controls applicable
-6-
<PAGE>
to the Bank's duties under this Agreement. The Bank shall request for and
furnish to the Fund such similar reports as may be furnished to it with respect
to each subcustodian and securities depository holding the Fund's assets.
(g) The Bank will supply to the Fund, care of its investment
adviser, at least monthly a statement in respect to any Property in a Custody
and a Deposit Account held by each subcustodian, including an identification of
the entity having possession of such Property, and the Bank will send to the
Fund an advice or notification of any transfers of Property to or from the
Custody Account and Deposit Account, indicating, as to Property acquired for an
investment portfolio of the Fund, the identity of the entity having physical
possession of such Property. In the absence of the filing in writing with the
Bank by the Fund of exceptions or objections to any such statement within sixty
(60) days of the Fund's receipt of such statement, or within sixty (60) days
after the date that a material defect is reasonably discoverable, the Fund shall
be deemed to have approved such statement and in such case or upon written
approval of the Fund of any such statement the Bank shall, to the extent
permitted by law and provided the Bank has met the standard of care in Section
12 hereunder, be released, relieved and discharged with respect to all matters
and things set forth in such statement as though such statement has been settled
by the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action in which the
Fund and all persons having any equity interest in the Fund were parties.
-7-
<PAGE>
(h) The Bank hereby warrants to the Fund that in its opinion,
after due inquiry, the established procedures to be followed by each of its
branches, each branch of a qualified U.S. bank, each eligible foreign custodian
and each eligible foreign securities depository holding Securities of the Fund
pursuant to this Agreement afford protection for such Securities at least equal
to that afforded by the Bank's established procedures with respect to similar
Securities held by the Bank (and its securities depositories) in New York.
(i) The Bank hereby warrants to the Fund that as of the date
of this Agreement it is maintaining a Bankers Blanket Bond sufficient to cover
any of its liabilities hereunder and hereby agrees to notify the Fund in the
event its Bankers Blanket Bond is canceled or otherwise lapses.
5. Deposit Account Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 7,
the Bank shall make, or cause its subcustodian to make, payments of cash
credited to a Deposit Account only:
(a) in connection with the purchase of Securities for the
particular Portfolio of the Fund involved and the delivery of such Securities
to, or the crediting of such Securities to the particular Custody Account of the
Bank or its subcustodian, each such payment to be made at prices as confirmed by
Instructions from Authorized Persons (as defined in Section 10 hereof);
-8-
<PAGE>
(b) for the purchase or redemption of shares of the capital
stock of the particular Portfolio of the Fund involved and the delivery to, or
crediting to the account of, the Bank or its subcustodian of such shares to be
so purchased or redeemed;
(c) for the payment for the account of the particular
Portfolio of the Fund involved of dividends, interest, taxes, management or
supervisory fees, capital distributions or operating expenses;
(d) for the payments to be made in connection with the
conversion, exchange or surrender of Securities held in a Custody Account;
(e) for spot or forward foreign exchange transactions to
facilitate security trading, receipt of income from Securities or related
transactions;
(f) for other proper corporate purposes of the particular
Portfolio of the Fund involved; or
(g) upon the termination of this Custody Agreement as
hereinafter set forth.
All payments of cash for a purpose permitted by subsection (a), (b),
(c) or (d) of this Section 5 will be made only upon receipt by the Bank of
Instructions from Authorized Persons which shall specify the purpose for which
the payment is to be made and the applicable subsection of this Section 5. In
the case of any payment to be made for the purpose permitted by subsection (f)
of this Section 5, the Bank must first receive a certified copy of a resolution
-9-
<PAGE>
of the Board of Directors of the Fund adequately describing such payment,
declaring such purpose to be a proper corporate purpose, and naming the person
or persons to whom such payment shall be made. Any payment pursuant to
subsection (g) of this Section 5 will be made in accordance with Section 17
hereof.
In the event that any payment for a Portfolio of the Fund made under
this Section 5 exceeds the funds available in that Portfolio's Deposit Account,
the Bank may, in its discretion, advance the Fund on behalf of that Portfolio an
amount equal to such excess and such advance shall be deemed a loan from the
Bank to that Portfolio payable on demand, bearing interest at the rate of
interest customarily charged by the Bank on similar loans. If the Bank causes a
Deposit Account to be credited on the payable date for interest, dividends or
redemptions, the particular Portfolio of the Fund involved will promptly return
to the Bank any such amount or property so credited upon oral or written
notification that neither the Bank nor its subcustodian can collect such amount
or property in the ordinary course of business. The Bank or its subcustodian, as
the case may be, shall have no duty or obligation to institute legal
proceedings, file a claim or proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding or take
any other action with respect to the collection of such amount or property
beyond its ordinary collection procedures.
6. Custody Account Transactions. Subject to the provisions of Section
7, Securities in a Custody Account will be transferred, exchanged or delivered
by the Bank or its subcustodians only:
-10-
<PAGE>
(a) upon sale of such Securities for the particular Portfolio
of the Fund involved and receipt by the Bank or its subcustodian of payment
therefor, each such payment to be in the amount confirmed by Instructions from
Authorized Persons;
(b) when such Securities are called, redeemed or retired, or
otherwise become payable;
(c) in exchange for or upon conversion into other Securities
alone or other Securities and cash pursuant to any plan of merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or readjustment;
(d) upon conversion of such Securities pursuant to their terms
into other Securities;
(e) upon exercise of subscription, purchase or other similar
rights represented by such Securities;
(f) for the purpose of exchanging interim receipts or
temporary Securities for definitive Securities;
(g) for the purpose of redeeming in-kind shares of the capital
stock of the particular Portfolio of the Fund involved against delivery to the
Bank or its subcustodian of such shares to be redeemed;
(h) in connection with any borrowings by the particular
Portfolio requiring a pledge of Securities, but only against receipt of amounts
borrowed;
(i) in connection with any loans, but only against receipt of
adequate collateral as specified in Instructions which shall reflect any
restrictions applicable to the Fund;
-11-
<PAGE>
(j) for delivery in accordance with the provisions of any
agreement among the Fund, the Bank and a broker-dealer registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. relating to compliance with the
rules of The Options Clearing Corporation and of any registered national
securities exchange, or of any similar organizations, regarding escrow or other
arrangements in connection with transactions by the particular Portfolio;
(k) for release of Securities to designated brokers under
covered call options, provided, however, that such Securities shall be released
only upon payment to the Bank of monies for the premium due and a receipt for
the Securities which are to be held in escrow. Upon exercise of the option, or
at expiration, the Bank will receive the Securities previously deposited from
brokers. The Bank will act strictly in accordance with Instructions in the
delivery of Securities to be held in escrow and will have no responsibility or
liability for any such Securities which are not returned promptly when due other
than to make proper request for such return.
(l) for other proper corporate purposes of the particular
Portfolio of the Fund involved; or
(m) upon the termination of this Custody Agreement as
hereinafter set forth.
-12-
<PAGE>
All transfers, exchanges or deliveries of Securities in a Custody
Account for a purpose permitted by either subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or
(f) of this Section 6 will be made, except as provided in Section 8 hereof, only
upon receipt by the Bank of Instructions from Authorized Persons which shall
specify the purpose of the transfer, exchange or delivery to be made and the
applicable subsection of this Section 6. In the case of any transfer or delivery
to be made for the purpose permitted by subsection (g) of this Section 6, the
Bank must first receive Instructions from Authorized Persons specifying the
shares held by the Bank or its subcustodian to be so transferred or delivered
and naming the person or persons to whom transfers or delivery of such shares
shall be made. In the case of any transfer, exchange or delivery to be made for
the purpose permitted by subsection (h) of this Section 6, the Bank must first
receive a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Fund
adequately describing such transfer, exchange or delivery, declaring such
purpose to be a proper corporate purpose, and naming the person or persons to
whom delivery of such Securities shall be made. Any transfer or delivery
pursuant to subsection (m) of this Section 6 will be made in accordance with
Section 17 hereof.
7. Custody Account Procedures. With respect to any transaction
involving Securities held in or to be acquired for a Custody Account, the Bank
in its discretion may cause the Deposit Account for the particular Portfolio of
the Fund involved to be credited on the contractual settlement date with the
proceeds of any sale or exchange of Securities from the particular Custody
-13-
<PAGE>
Account and to be debited on the contractual settlement date for the cost of
Securities purchased or acquired for the particular Custody Account. The Bank
may reverse any such credit or debit if the transaction with respect to which
such credit or debit was made fails to settle within a reasonable period,
determined by the Bank in its discretion, after the contractual settlement date,
except that if any Securities delivered pursuant to this Section 7 are returned
by the recipient thereof, the Bank may cause any such credits and debits to be
reversed at any time. With respect to any transactions as to which the Bank does
not determine so to credit or debit the particular Deposit Account, the proceeds
from the sale or exchange of Securities will be credited and the cost of such
Securities purchased or acquired will be debited to the particular Deposit
Account on the date such proceeds or Securities are received by the Bank.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, settlement and payment for
Securities received for, and delivery of Securities out of, a Custody Account
may be effected in accordance with the customary or established securities
trading or securities processing practices and procedures in the jurisdiction or
market in which the transaction occurs, including, without limitation,
delivering Securities to the purchaser thereof or to a dealer therefor (or an
agent for such purchaser or dealer) against a receipt with the expectation of
receiving later payment for such Securities from such purchaser or dealer.
-14-
<PAGE>
8. Actions of the Bank. Until the Bank receives Instructions from
Authorized Persons to the contrary, the Bank will, or will instruct its
subcustodian, to:
(a) present for payment any Securities in a Custody Account
which are called, redeemed or retired or otherwise become payable and all
coupons and other income items which call for payment upon presentation to the
extent that the Bank or subcustodian is aware of such opportunities for payment,
and hold cash received upon presentation of such Securities in accordance with
the provisions of Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof;
(b) in respect of Securities in a Custody Account, execute in
the name of the Fund on behalf of the particular Portfolio involved such
ownership and other certificates as may be required to obtain payments in
respect thereof;
(c) exchange interim receipts or temporary Securities in a
Custody Account for definitive Securities;
(d) (if applicable) convert monies received with respect to
Securities of foreign issue into United States dollars or any other currency
necessary to effect any transaction involving the Securities whenever it is
practicable to do so through customary banking channels, using any method or
agency available, including, but not limited to, the facilities of the Bank, its
subsidiaries, affiliates or subcustodians;
(e) (if applicable) appoint brokers and agents for any
transaction involving the Securities in a Custody Account, including, without
limitation, affiliates of the Bank or any subcustodian; and
-15-
<PAGE>
(f) reclaim taxes withheld by foreign issuers where reclaim is
possible, provided that Bank has been provided with all documentation it may
require.
9. Instructions. As used in this Agreement, the term "Instructions"
means instructions of the Fund received by the Bank via telephone, telex, TWX,
facsimile transmission, bank wire or other teleprocess or electronic instruction
system acceptable to the Bank which the Bank believes in good faith to have been
given by Authorized Persons or which are transmitted with proper testing or
authentication pursuant to terms and conditions which the Bank may specify.
Any Instructions delivered to the Bank by telephone shall promptly
thereafter be confirmed in writing by an Authorized Person (which confirmation
may bear the facsimile signature of such Person), but the particular Portfolio
of the Fund involved will hold the Bank harmless for the Fund's (i) failure to
send such confirmation in writing, or (ii) the failure of such confirmation to
conform to the telephone Instructions received. Unless otherwise expressly
provided, all Instructions shall continue in full force and effect until
canceled or superseded. If the Bank requires test arrangements, authentication
methods or other security devices to be used with respect to Instructions, any
Instructions given by the Fund thereafter shall be given and processed in
-16-
<PAGE>
accordance with such terms and conditions for the use of such arrangements,
methods or devices as the Bank may put into effect and modify from time to time.
The Fund shall safeguard any testkeys, identification codes or other security
devices which the Bank shall make available to them. The Bank may electronically
record any Instructions given by telephone, and any other telephone discussions,
with respect to a Custody Account.
10. Authorized Persons. As used in this Agreement, the term "Authorized
Persons" means such officers or such agents of the Fund as have been designated
by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Fund, a certified copy of which
has been provided to the Bank, to act on behalf of the Fund in the performance
of any acts which Authorized Persons may do under this Agreement. Such persons
shall continue to be Authorized Persons until such time as the Bank receives
Instructions from Authorized Persons that any such officer or agent is no longer
an Authorized Person.
11. Nominees. Securities in a Custody Account which are ordinarily held
in registered form may be registered in the name of the Bank's nominee or, as to
any Securities in the possession of an entity other than the Bank, in the name
of such entity's nominee. The particular Portfolio of the Fund involved agrees
to hold any such nominee harmless from any liability as a holder of record of
such Securities, but not if such liability is a result of such nominee's
negligence. The Bank may without notice to the Fund cause any such Securities to
-17-
<PAGE>
cease to be registered in the name of any such nominee and to be registered in
the name of the Fund. In the event that any Securities registered in the name of
the Bank's nominee or held by one of its subcustodians and registered in the
name of such subcustodian's nominee are called for partial redemption by the
issuer of such Security, the Bank may allot, or cause to be allotted, the called
portion to the respective beneficial holders of such class of security in any
manner the Bank deems to be fair and equitable.
12. Standard of Care.
(a) The Bank shall be obligated to perform only such duties as
are set forth in this Agreement or expressly contained in instructions given to
Bank which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
(i) The Bank will use reasonable care with respect to its
obligations under this Agreement and the safekeeping of

received hereunder is not in any way inconsistent with the revisions of the
Fund's Articles of Incorporation, or of any vote, resolutions or proceeding of
the Fund's Board of Directors or shareholders.
The Fund agrees to forward to ICC Written Instructions
confirming Oral Instructions so that ICC receives the Written Instructions by
the close of business on the same day that such Oral Instructions are received.
The fact that such confirming Written Instructions are not received by ICC shall
in no way invalidate the transactions or enforceability of the transactions
authorized by the Oral Instructions. The Fund further agrees that ICC shall
-3-
<PAGE>
incur no liability to the Fund in acting upon Oral or Written Instructions
provided such instructions reasonably appear to have been received from an
Authorized Person.
If ICC is in doubt as to any action it should not take, ICC
may request directions or advice, including Oral or Written Instructions, from
the Fund. Provided ICC has met its standard of care specified in the Master
Services Agreement, ICC shall be protected in any action it takes or does not
take in reliance upon directions, advice or Oral or Written Instructions it
receives from the Fund or from Fund counsel and which ICC believes, in good
faith, to be consistent with those directions, advice or Oral or Written
Instructions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ICC shall have no obligation (i) to
seek such directions, advice or Oral or Written Instructions, or (ii) to act in
accordance with such directions, advice or Oral or Written Instructions unless,
under the terms or other provisions of this Appendix, the same is a condition of
ICC's properly taking or not taking such action.
