PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
The Emerging Markets 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 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 the Portfolio during the
period are reinvested in Portfolio shares.
The Portfolio may compare its total return 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 Emerging Markets Portfolio may be compared to data
prepared by Lipper, the Morgan Stanley EAFE-IX ND Weighted 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 the Portfolio's past performance,
and should not be considered as representative of future results. Since
performance will fluctuate, performance data for the 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 the 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 the Portfolio's
calculations of total return.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objective of the Portfolio is not fundamental and may be
changed by the Board members without shareholder approval.
The objective of the Portfolio is to provide long-term growth of
capital. The 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 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,
-4-
<PAGE>
warrants or rights to subscribe to or purchase such securities and sponsored or
unsponsored American Depository Receipts ("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 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 Portfolio and its Sub-Advisor may, from time to time, use various
methods of selecting securities for the 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 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 Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities. In addition, the
Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency contracts and reverse
repurchase agreements. When deemed appropriate by the Sub-Advisor, the 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
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."
-5-
<PAGE>
INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
Temporary Investments. As determined by the Sub-Advisor, when market
conditions warrant, the Portfolio may invest up to 100% of its total assets in
the following high-quality (that is, rated Prime-1 by Moody's or 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 Portfolio within the limits
prescribed by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
Repurchase Agreements. Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements
with qualified brokers, dealers, banks and other financial institutions deemed
creditworthy by the Sub-Advisor. Under normal circumstances, however, the
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. The
Portfolio would generally enter into repurchase transactions to invest cash
reserves and for temporary defensive purposes.
In a repurchase agreement, the 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 Sub-Advisor
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 Sub-Advisor will mark to market daily the value of the securities purchased,
and the 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 Sub-Advisor will consider the creditworthiness of a seller in
determining whether the Portfolio should enter into a repurchase agreement, and
the Portfolio will only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and dealers
which are determined to present minimal credit risk by the Sub-Advisor under
procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.
In effect, by entering into a repurchase agreement, the 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, the Portfolio may incur a loss upon disposition of them. Default by
the seller would also expose the 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
-6-
<PAGE>
underlying securities are collateral not within the control of the Portfolio and
therefore subject to sale by the trustee in bankruptcy. Further, it is possible
that the Portfolio may not be able to substantiate its interest in the
underlying securities.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The 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 the 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 the 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. The 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 Sub-Advisor to be of good standing.
"When Issued," "Delayed Settlement," and "Forward Delivery" Securities.
The 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
-7-
<PAGE>
the future. No payment or delivery is made by the 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. The 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 the Portfolio receives no
income from the above described securities prior to delivery, the market value
of such securities is still subject to change.
The 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 the 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. The 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 the Portfolio will only sell securities on
such a basis to offset securities purchased on such a basis.
Borrowing. The Portfolio may purchase securities on a "when issued,"
"delayed settlement" or "forward delivery" basis and may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements. As a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency
purposes, the Portfolio may borrow money from banks. However, the Portfolio will
not borrow money for speculative purposes.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. The 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 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.
Depositary Receipts. The Emerging Markets Portfolio may purchase
sponsored or unsponsored ADRs, EDRs and GDRs (collectively, "Depositary
Receipts"). 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 depository receipts 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.
-8-
<PAGE>
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 investments in foreign
securities, as discussed below. For purposes of the Portfolio's investment
policies, the Portfolio's investments in Depositary Receipts will be deemed to
be investments in the underlying securities.
Illiquid Securities. The 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 the
Portfolio, nor can there be any assurance that the Portfolio's investment
objective will be attained. As with any investment in securities, the value of,
and income from, an investment in the Portfolio can decrease as well as
increase, depending on the 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
Portfolio is not intended as a complete investment program.
Foreign Securities. The 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 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 the 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, the 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 the 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
-9-
<PAGE>
repatriation may affect certain aspects of the operations of the Portfolio. For
example, funds may be withdrawn from the People's Republic of 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 the Portfolio are
uninvested and no return is earned thereon. The inability of the 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 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 the 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 the
Portfolio is $25,000; the minimum for subsequent investments for the 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.
-10-
<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 Portfolio or reject purchase orders when, in the
judgment of management, such suspension or rejection is in the best interests of
Glenmede Fund.
Purchases of the 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 the 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 Glenmede Fund's Board determines that it would be detrimental to the
best interests of the remaining shareholders of the 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 the 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 the 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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION
OF SHARES
Glenmede Fund may, from time to time, in its sole discretion appoint
one or more entities, including the Advisor, as its agent to receive purchase
and redemption orders of shares of the 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.
-11-
<PAGE>
VALUATION OF SHARES
The net asset value of the 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. The 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
valuations in connection with the determination of the net asset value of the
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 that 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 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, the Portfolio normally distributes 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 the Portfolio's net
assets for the purpose of calculating net asset value per share. Therefore, on
the 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).
FEDERAL TAXES
The Portfolio intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company"
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Such
qualification generally relieves the 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 the 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, the 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 gain over net long-term capital loss if
any, for such year. The 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 the Portfolio's shareholders who
-12-
<PAGE>
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 the 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 Portfolio will be eligible for the
dividends received deduction.
Substantially all of the Portfolio's net realized long-term capital
gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually to its shareholders. The
Portfolio generally will have no tax liability with respect to such gains and
the distributions will be taxable as long-term capital gains to the shareholders
who are not currently exempt from Federal income taxes, 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 the 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 the 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
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, should he so choose.
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 the
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). The 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 Portfolio and its shareholders and is not intended as a
substitute for careful tax planning. Accordingly, potential investors in the
Portfolio 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.
-13-
<PAGE>
Shareholders will be advised at least annually as to the federal income
tax consequences of distributions made each year.
The 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."
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
Shareholders may also be subject to state and local taxes on
distributions from the Portfolio. A shareholder should consult with his tax
adviser with respect to the tax status of distributions from the Portfolio in a
particular state and locality.
The Portfolio 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 January __, 1997, the Advisor had over $___ billion in assets in the
accounts for which it serves in various capacities including as executor,
trustee or investment advisor.
Under its Investment Advisory Agreement with Glenmede Fund with respect
to the Portfolio, the Advisor, subject to the control and supervision of
Glenmede Fund's Board and in conformance with the stated investment objective
and policies of the Portfolio, has agreed to manage the investment and
reinvestment of the Portfolio assets, make investment decisions for the
Portfolio and place the Portfolio's purchase and sales orders.
Pursuant to that Agreement, the Advisor also may select a person to act
as sub-advisor. 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, subject to the control
and supervision of Glenmede Fund's Board and in conformance with the stated
investment objective and policies of the Portfolio, 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 Portfolio.
Effective November 1, 1996, the Advisor and Sub-Advisor are entitled to
receive fees from the Portfolio for their investment services computed daily and
payable monthly at the annual rate of .75% and .50%, respectively, of the
Portfolio's average daily net assets. Prior to November 1, 1996, the Advisor and
Sub-Advisor were entitled to receive fees from the Portfolio for their
investment services computed daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of
.50% and .75%,
-14-
<PAGE>
respectively of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The aggregate fees
paid to the 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
fiscal year ended October 31, 1996, the Advisor received a fee of ___% of the
Portfolio's average net assets and the Sub-Advisor received a fee at the rate of
___% of the 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 January __, 1996, the Bank
managed in excess of $ 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. As of January __, 1997, the Sub-Advisor and its
affiliates managed $___ billion for __ 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 1996, ICC received fees at the rate of
___% of the Portfolio's average net assets.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The 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 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,
-15-
<PAGE>
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 the
Portfolio's assets or the purchase of any securities on margin
for purposes of this investment limitation;
(e) Issue senior securities, except that the 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 the 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).
With respect to investment limitation (c), (a) there is no limitation
with respect to (i) instruments issued or guaranteed by the United States, any
state, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia or
any of their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions,
and (ii) repurchase agreements secured by the instruments described in clause
(i); (b) wholly-owned finance companies will be considered to be in the
industries of their parents if their activities are primarily related to
financing the activities of the parents; and (c) utilities will be divided
according to their services; for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and
gas, electric and telephone will each be considered a separate industry.
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 the 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 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
Portfolio.

<PAGE>
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.
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.
At the discretion of Glenmede Fund, investors may be permitted to
purchase Portfolio shares by transferring securities to the Portfolio that meet
the Portfolio's investment objectives and policies.

<PAGE>
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.
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,
1996 and 1995 were 10% and 25%, respectively. The portfolio turnover rate
of the Emerging Markets Portfolio for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996 and
for the period December 14, 1994 (commencement of operations) to October 31,
1995 were 44% and 50% , respectively.
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;
-3-
<PAGE>
(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
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
-4-
<PAGE>
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, 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
-5-
<PAGE>
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
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 respect to investment limitation (13), (a) there is no limitation
with respect to (i) instruments issued or guaranteed by the United States, any
state, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia or
any of their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions,
and (ii) repurchase agreements secured by the instruments described in clause
(i); (b) wholly-owned finance companies will be considered to be in the
industries of their parents if their activities are primarily related to
financing the activities of the parents; and (c) utilities will be divided
according to their services; for example, gas, gas transaction, electric and
gas, electric and telephone will each be considered a separate industry.
With regard to limitation (14), the purchase of securities of a
corporation, a subsidiary of which has an interest in oil,
-6-
<PAGE>
gas or other mineral exploration or development programs, shall not be deemed
to be prohibited by the limitation.

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
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, 1995, no
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, 1996, 1995and 1994 , the
Institutional International Portfolio paid $______, $122,396 and $33,893 , in
brokerage commissions, respectively. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996
and for the period December 14, 1994 (commencement of operations) to October 31,
1995, the Emerging Markets Portfolio paid $______ and $258,281 in brokerage
commissions, respectively.
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
-10-
<PAGE>
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
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
-11-
<PAGE>
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
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 marginal
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
-12-
<PAGE>
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 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
-13-
<PAGE>
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
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,
-14-
<PAGE>
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.
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

<PAGE>
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
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
-16-
<PAGE>
under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash or leverage itself by
borrowing cash, in order to satisfy the distribution requirement.
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
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.
-17-
<PAGE>
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
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, 1996 (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
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 January 30, 1997, 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. Under the 1940 Act, the
Advisor may be deemed to be a controlling person of Glenmede Fund. To Glenmede
Fund's knowledge, as of January 30, 1997, no person owned, beneficially or of
record, 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Institutional International
Portfolio. As of January 30, 1997, 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.

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.

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.
