INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

The Glenmede Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Glenmede Fund"), is an
open-end management investment company. Glenmede Fund consists of ten series of
shares, each of which has different investment objectives and policies. The
securities offered hereby are one of these series of shares, the Global Equity
Portfolio.

Global Equity Portfolio. The objective of the Global Equity Portfolio is to
provide maximum long-term total return consistent with reasonable risk to
principal. The Global Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks to achieve its
objective by investing primarily in equity securities and securities convertible
into equity securities of companies located inside and outside the United
States. The net asset value of this Portfolio will fluctuate.

         Total return consists of income (dividend and/or interest income from
portfolio securities) and capital gains and losses, both realized and
unrealized, from portfolio securities.

         Shares of the Portfolio are subject to investment risks, including the
possible loss of principal, are not bank deposits and are not endorsed by,
insured by, guaranteed by, obligations of or otherwise supported by the U.S.
Government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve
Board, The Glenmede Corporation or any of its affiliates or any other
governmental agency or bank.

                            PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS

         The Global Equity 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 Portfolio may be compared to data prepared by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"), the MSCI World Index and the Morgan
Stanley Capital International EAFE Index. Total return and other performance
data as reported in national financial publications such as Money Magazine,
Forbes, Barron's, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, or in
publications of a local or regional nature, may also be used in comparing the
performances of the Portfolio.

         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 Global Equity Portfolio is not
fundamental and may be changed by the Board members without shareholder
approval.

         The objective of the Portfolio is to provide maximum, long-term total
return consistent with reasonable risk to principal. The Portfolio seeks to
achieve its objective by investing primarily in equity securities and securities
convertible into equity securities of companies located inside and outside the
United States. The Portfolio is expected to diversify its investments across
companies located in a number of countries, which may include, but are not
limited to, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France,
Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. Under
normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Portfolio's total assets will be
invested in equity securities and securities convertible into equity securities.

         The Portfolio also may enter into forward currency exchange contracts
only in order to hedge against uncertainty in the level of future foreign
exchange rates in the purchase and sale of investment securities; it may not
enter into such contracts for speculative purposes. See "Investment
Techniques--Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts."

         The Portfolio intends to remain, for the most part, fully invested in
equity securities and securities convertible into equity securities. However,
the Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets (up to 20% under normal
circumstances) in the following fixed income and money market securities:
obligations of the U.S. Government and its guaranteed or sponsored agencies,

                                       -3-

<PAGE>



including shares of open-end or closed-end investment companies which invest in
such obligations (such shares will be purchased within the limits prescribed by
the 1940 Act and would subject a shareholder of the Portfolio to expenses of the
other investment company in addition to the expenses of the Portfolio);
short-term money market instruments issued in the U.S. or abroad, denominated in
dollars or any foreign currency, including short-term certificates of deposit
(including variable rate certificates of deposit), time deposits with a maturity
no greater than 180 days, bankers acceptances, commercial paper rated A-1 by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, Division of McGraw Hill ("S&P") or Prime-1 by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or in equivalent money market
securities; and high quality fixed income securities denominated in U.S.
dollars, any foreign currency, or a multi-national currency unit such as the
European Currency Unit.


                              INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES

         Repurchase Agreements. The Portfolio may enter into repurchase
agreements with qualified brokers, dealers, banks and other financial
institutions deemed creditworthy by the 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 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 Advisor will mark-to-market daily the value of the securities purchased, and
the Advisor will, if necessary, require the seller to deposit additional
securities to ensure that the value is in compliance with the 101% requirement
stated above. The Advisor will consider the creditworthiness of a seller in
determining whether 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 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 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

                                       -4-

<PAGE>



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 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 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 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
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

                                       -5-

<PAGE>



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.

         Investment Company Securities. The Portfolio may invest in securities
issued by other open-end investment companies with investment objectives and
policies that are consistent with those of the Portfolio. The Portfolio will
limit its investments so that, as determined immediately after a securities
purchase is made: (a) not more than 5% of the value of its total assets will be
invested in the securities of any one investment company; (b) not more than 10%
of the value of its total assets will be invested in the aggregate in the
securities of investment companies as a group; and (c) not more than 3% of the
outstanding voting stock of any one investment company will be owned by the
Portfolio. As a shareholder of another investment company, the Portfolio would
bear its pro rata portion of the other investment company's advisory fees and
other expenses, in addition to the expenses the Portfolio bears directly in
connection with its own operations.

         Borrowing. The Portfolio may purchase securities on a "when issued,"
"delayed settlement" or "forward delivery" basis. 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 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 depositary 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

                                       -6-

<PAGE>



designed for use in the U.S. securities market and Depositary Receipts in bearer
form are designed for use in securities markets outside the United States.
Depositary Receipts may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as
the underlying securities into which they may be converted. Depositary Receipts
may be issued pursuant to sponsored or unsponsored programs. In sponsored
programs, an issuer has made arrangements to have its securities traded in the
form of Depositary Receipts. In unsponsored programs, the issuer may not be
directly involved in the creation of the program. Although regulatory
requirements with respect to sponsored and unsponsored programs are generally
similar, in some cases it may be easier to obtain financial information from an
issuer that has participated in the creation of a sponsored program.
Accordingly, there may be less information available regarding issuers of
securities underlying unsponsored programs and there may not be a correlation
between such information and the market value of the Depositary Receipts.
Depositary Receipts also involve the risks of other 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. The Portfolio will not invest more than an
aggregate of 15% of its total assets 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, securities subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale.

         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 a variety of factors which may affect the values and
income generated by the Portfolio's securities, including general economic
conditions, market factors and currency exchange rates. An investment in the
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

                                       -7-

<PAGE>



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 repatriation may affect certain aspects of the operations of the
Portfolio.

         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.

         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

                                       -8-

<PAGE>



institutions (the "Institutions"), at the net asset value per share next
determined after receipt, in proper order, 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.

         It is the Advisor's and Institutions' responsibility to transmit their
clients' 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 "SEC"). 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 SEC. 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.



                                       -9-

              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. As of date of
this Prospectus, only the Advisor and William M. Mercer, Incorporated ("Mercer")
serve as the Glenmede Fund's agents to receive and transmit purchase and
redemption orders. The Advisor and Mercer are not entitled to receive any fee
from shareholders or Glenmede Fund for acting as the Glenmede Fund's agent to
receive and transmit purchase and redemption orders. In these instances, orders
are effected at the net asset value per share next determined after receipt of
that order by the entity, if the order is actually received by Glenmede Fund's
transfer agent not later than the next business morning.


                               VALUATION OF SHARES

         The net asset value of the 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).


                                      -10-

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 the sum of
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
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.


                                      -11-

<PAGE>



         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.

         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 March 31, 1997, the Advisor had over $10.3 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, manages the investment and reinvestment of the
Portfolio's assets. It is the responsibility of the Advisor to make investment
decisions for the Portfolio and to place the Portfolio's purchase and sales
orders.

         The Advisor is entitled to receive a fee from the Portfolio for its
investment services computed daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of

                                      -12-

<PAGE>



 .70% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. Although the advisory fee rate
payable by the Portfolio is higher than the rates paid by most mutual funds,
Glenmede Fund's Board of Directors believes it is comparable to the rates paid
by other similar funds.

         Andrew Williams, Senior Vice President of the Advisor, is the portfolio
manager for the Portfolio, and has been primarily responsible for its management
since the Portfolio commenced operations. Mr. Williams has been employed by the
Advisor since May 1985.

          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.

                             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 Portfolio's total assets, at
                  fair market value, except as described in this Prospectus and
                  the SAI and in connection with entering into futures
                  contracts, but the deposit of assets in a segregated account
                  in connection with the writing of covered put and call options
                  and the purchase of securities on a when issued, delayed
                  settlement or forward delivery basis and collateral
                  arrangements with respect to initial or variation margin for
                  futures contracts will not be deemed to be pledges of 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


                                      -13-

<PAGE>



         (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.

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

         Glenmede Fund was organized as a Maryland corporation on June 30, 1988.
Glenmede Fund's Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board members to issue
2,500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a $.001 par value. The Board has the
power to designate one or more classes ("Portfolios") of shares of common stock
and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares with respect to such
Portfolios. Currently, Glenmede Fund is offering shares of ten Portfolios.

         The shares of the Portfolio have no preference as to conversion,
exchange, dividends, retirement or other rights, and, when issued and paid for
as provided in this Prospectus, will be fully paid and non-assessable. The
shares of the Portfolio have no pre-emptive rights and do not have cumulative
voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares of
Glenmede Fund voting for the election of its Board members can elect 100% of the
Board of Glenmede Fund if they choose to do so. A shareholder is entitled to one
vote for each full share held (and a fractional vote for each fractional share
held), then standing in his or her name on the books of Glenmede Fund. Glenmede
Fund will not hold annual meetings of shareholders except as required by the
1940 Act, the next sentence and other applicable law. Glenmede Fund has
undertaken that its Board will call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of
voting upon the question of removal of a Board member or members if such a
meeting is requested in writing by the holders of not less than 10% of the
outstanding shares of Glenmede Fund. To the extent required by the undertaking,
Glenmede Fund will assist shareholder communication in such matters.

         At ____________, 1997, the Advisor was the record owner of all of the
outstanding shares 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.

         Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

         The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts. A
forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or
sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days
from the date of the contract as agreed by the parties, at a price set at the
time of the contract. In the case of a cancelable forward contract, the holder
has the unilateral right to cancel the contract at maturity by paying a
specified fee. The contracts are traded in the interbank market conducted
directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their
customers. A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement, and no
commissions are charged at any stage for trades. A foreign currency futures
contract is a standardized contract for the future delivery of a specified
amount of a foreign currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the
contract. Foreign currency futures contracts traded in the United States are
designed by and traded on exchanges regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission ("CFTC") such as the New York Mercantile Exchange. The Portfolio
would enter into foreign currency futures contracts solely for hedging or other
appropriate investment purposes as defined in CFTC regulations.

         Forward foreign currency exchange contracts differ from foreign
currency futures contracts in certain respects. For example, the maturity date
of a forward contract may be any fixed number of days from the date of the
contract agreed upon by the parties, rather than a predetermined date in any
given month. Forward contracts may be in any amounts agreed upon by the parties
rather than predetermined amounts. Also, forward foreign exchange contracts are
traded directly between currency traders so that no intermediary is required. A
forward contract generally requires no margin or other deposit.

         At the maturity of a forward contract, the Portfolio may either accept
or make delivery of the currency specified in the contract, or at or prior to
maturity enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an
offsetting contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts

                                       -2-

<PAGE>



are usually effected with the currency trader who is a party to
the original forward contract.

         Securities Lending

         The 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, the 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. The 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 "SEC") 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 Portfolio.

         The 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.

                              REDEMPTION OF SHARES

         The 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 SEC,
(ii) during any period when an emergency exists as defined by the rules of the
SEC as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Portfolio to
dispose of securities owned by it, or fairly to

                                       -3-

<PAGE>



determine the value of its assets, and (iii) for such other
periods as the SEC may permit.

         No charge is made by the 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
Portfolio 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 will not consider portfolio turnover
rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with the
Portfolio's investment objectives and policies.

                             INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

         The 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. The Portfolio will not:

         (1)      invest in commodities or commodity contracts, except
                  that the Portfolio may invest in futures contracts and
                  options;

                  real estate;

         (3)      make loans, except (i) by purchasing bonds, debentures

                  which are publicly or privately distributed, and (ii)
                  by lending its portfolio securities to banks, brokers,
                  dealers and other financial institutions so long as

                  thereunder;

         (4)      purchase on margin or sell short, except as specified

                  guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, enterprises
                  or instrumentalities);

         (8)      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 the borrowing (entering
                  into reverse repurchase agreements and purchasing
                  securities on a when issued, delayed settlement or

                  investment limitation);

                  or the purchase of any securities on margin for
                  purposes of this investment limitation;

         (10)     underwrite the securities of other issuers;

         (11)     invest for the purpose of exercising control over
                  management of any company;


                                       -5-

<PAGE>



         (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), the Portfolio may borrow money
as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, enter into
reverse repurchase agreements and purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed
settlement or forward delivery basis, which activities may involve a borrowing,
provided that the aggregate of such borrowings shall not exceed 33 1/3% of the
value of the 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 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, gas or other mineral
exploration or development programs, shall not be deemed to be prohibited by the
limitation.

        The Advisor is entitled to receive a fee from the Portfolio for its
services, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of .70% of
the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

        Administrative transfer agency and dividend paying services have been
provided to Glenmede Fund by ICC pursuant to a Master Services Agreement. See
"Administrative, Transfer Agency and Dividend Paying Services" in the Prospectus
for information concerning the substantive provisions of the Master Services
Agreement.

        Custody services are provided to the Portfolio by The Chase Manhattan
Bank, N.A., Brooklyn, New York.

                                   DISTRIBUTOR

        Shares of Glenmede Fund are distributed continuously and are offered
without a sales load by Armata, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between
Glenmede Fund and Armata. Armata receives no fee from Glenmede Fund for its
distribution services.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

        The Investment Advisory Agreement authorizes the Advisor to select the
brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of investment
securities for the Portfolio and direct the

                                       -8-

<PAGE>



Advisor to use its best efforts to obtain the best available price and most
favorable execution with respect to all transactions for the Portfolio. The
Advisor may, however, consistent with the interests of the Portfolio, select
brokers on the basis of the research, statistical and pricing services they
provide to the Portfolio. Information and research received from such brokers
will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be
performed by the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreements. A commission
paid to such brokers may be higher than that which another qualified broker
would have charged for effecting the same transaction, provided that such
commissions are paid in compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and that the Advisor determines in good faith that such commission is
reasonable in terms either of the transaction or the overall responsibility of
the Advisor to the Portfolio and the Advisor's other clients.

        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 the Portfolio may also be
appropriate for other clients served by the Advisor. If purchase or sale of
securities is consistent with the investment policies of the Portfolio and one
or more of these other clients served by the Advisor and is considered at or
about the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the
Portfolio and clients in a manner deemed fair and reasonable by the Advisor.
While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect on the price,
value or quantity of the security as far as the Portfolio is concerned, in other
cases it is believed to be beneficial to the Portfolio.

                     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAXES

        General. The following summarizes certain additional tax considerations
generally affecting the Portfolio and its shareholders that are not described in
the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the tax
treatment of the Portfolio or its 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.

        The 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.

                                       -9-

<PAGE>



Qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code requires, among
other things, that the 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, the 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
the 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 the 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.

        The Portfolio will not be treated as a regulated investment company
under the Code if 30% or more of its gross income for a taxable year is derived
from gains realized on the sale or other disposition of the following
investments held for less than three months: (1) stock and securities (as
defined in section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act); (2) options, futures and forward
contracts other than those on foreign currencies; and (3) foreign currencies
(and options, futures and forward contracts on foreign currencies) that are not
directly related to the Portfolio's principal business of investing in stock and
securities (and options and futures with respect to stocks and securities).
Interest (including original issue discount and accrued market discount)
received by the 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 the Portfolio and net gains from closing purchase
transactions are treated as short-term

                                      -10-

<PAGE>



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 the Portfolio's shares and
whether such distribution is received in cash or additional Portfolio shares.
The 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 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 marginal rates as
high as 39%).

        If the Portfolio retains net capital gains for reinvestment, the
Portfolio may elect to treat such amounts as having been distributed to
shareholders. As a result, the shareholders would be subject to tax on
undistributed net capital gains, would be able to claim their proportionate
share of the Federal income taxes paid by the Portfolio on such gains as a
credit against their own Federal income tax liabilities, and would be entitled
to an increase in their basis in their Portfolio shares.

        If for any taxable year the 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 the Portfolio's total assets at the
close of its taxable year consists of stock or securities of foreign
corporations, the Portfolio will be eligible and intends to elect to
"pass-through"

                                      -11-

<PAGE>



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 the 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 the 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 the Portfolio. Shareholders
may be unable to claim a credit for the full amount of their proportionate share
of the foreign taxes paid by the 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 the 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 the 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 sixty percent of such gain or loss will be
treated as long-term capital gain or loss without regard to the length of time
the Portfolio holds the futures contract ("the 40-60 rule"). The amount of any
capital gain or loss actually realized by the Portfolio in a

                                      -12-

<PAGE>



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, the 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, the Portfolio would be
allowed (in lieu of the foregoing) to elect either (1) to offset gains or losses
from portions which are part of a mixed straddle by separately identifying each
mixed straddle to which such treatment applies, or (2) to establish a mixed
straddle account for which gains and losses would be recognized and offset on a
periodic basis during the taxable year. Under either election, the 40-60 rule
will apply to the net gain or loss attributable to the futures contracts, but in
the case of a mixed straddle account election, no more than 50% of any net gain
may be treated as long term and no more than 40% of any net loss may be treated
as short term. Options on futures contracts generally receive Federal tax
treatment similar to that described above.

        Certain foreign currency contracts entered into by the Portfolios may be
subject to the "mark-to-market" process and the 40-60 rule in a manner similar
to that described in the preceding paragraph for futures contracts. To receive
such Federal income tax treatment, a foreign currency contract must meet the
following conditions: (1) the contract must require delivery of a foreign
currency of a type in which regulated futures contracts are traded or upon which
the settlement value of the contract depends; (2) the contract must be entered
into at arm's length at a price determined by reference to the price in the
interbank market; and (3) the contract must be traded in the interbank market.
The Treasury has broad authority to issue regulations under the provisions
respecting foreign currency contracts. As

                                      -13-

<PAGE>



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 Portfolio may result in the creation of one or more straddles for Federal
income tax purposes, in which case certain loss deferral, short sales, and wash
sales 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, the 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 the Portfolio's futures contracts and
other investments that qualify as part of a "designated hedge," as defined in
the Code, may be netted.

        Other Tax Matters. Special rules govern the Federal income tax treatment
of certain transactions denominated in terms of a currency other than the U.S.
dollar or determined by reference to the value of one or more currencies other
than the U.S. dollar. The types of transactions covered by the special rules
include the following: (i) the acquisition of, or becoming the obligor under, a
bond or other debt instrument (including, to the extent provided in Treasury
regulations, preferred stock); (ii) the accruing of certain trade receivables
and payables; and (iii) the entering into or acquisition of any forward
contract, futures contract, option and similar financial instrument if such
instrument is not marked to market. The disposition of a currency other than the
U.S. dollar by a U.S. taxpayer also is treated as a transaction subject to the
special currency rules. However, foreign currency-related regulated futures
contracts and nonequity options generally are not subject to the special
currency rules if they are or would be treated as sold for their fair market
value at year-end under the mark-to-market rules, unless an election is made to
have such currency rules apply. With respect to transactions covered by the
special rules, foreign currency gain or loss is calculated separately from any

                                      -14-

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 the 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, the Portfolio
must distribute substantially all of its income to shareholders. Thus, the
Portfolio may have to dispose of its portfolio securities under disadvantageous
circumstances to generate cash or leverage itself by borrowing cash, in order to
satisfy the distribution requirement.

        Some of the debt securities may be purchased by the 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 the
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 the Portfolio's ability to make sufficient distributions to
satisfy the 90% and calendar year distribution requirements.

                            PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS

        The 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.

       The 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.
The Portfolio's average annual total return and aggregate total return do not
reflect any fees charged by Institutions to their clients.

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

       Dividends and Capital Gains Distributions

       The 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, 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 by the Portfolio, the Portfolio normally distributes such gains at
least once a year. The amounts of any income dividends or capital gains
distributions for the Portfolio cannot be predicted.

       Any dividend or distribution paid shortly after the purchase of shares of
the Portfolio by an investor may have the effect of reducing the per share net
asset value of the 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 ____________, 1997, the Advisor held of record all of the
outstanding shares of the Portfolio. For more information about the Advisor, see
"Investment Advisor" in the Prospectus. As of ______________, 1997, the
directors and officers of Glenmede Fund collectively owned less than 1% of the
outstanding shares of the Portfolio.


                                    EXPENSES

       Glenmede Fund bears its own expenses incurred in its operations
including: taxes; interest; miscellaneous fees (including fees paid to Board
members); SEC fees; costs of preparing and printing prospectuses for regulatory
purposes and for distribution to existing shareholders; administration fees;
charges of the custodian, dividend agent fees; certain insurance premiums;
outside auditing and legal expenses; costs of shareholders' reports and
meetings; and any extraordinary expenses. The Portfolio also pays for brokerage
fees and commissions, if any, in connection with the purchase and sale of its
portfolio securities.

                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 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 Government, and by various
instrumentalities which have been established or sponsored by the United States
Government.

                                       A-2

<PAGE>




       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

                                       A-3

<PAGE>


the stocks of foreign companies are frequently denominated in foreign
currencies, and because the Portfolio may temporarily hold uninvested reserves
in bank deposits in foreign currencies, the Portfolio may be affected favorably
or unfavorably by changes in currency rates and in exchange control regulations,
and may incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies.
The investment policies of the Portfolio permit the Portfolio to enter into
forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to hedge the Portfolio's
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 Portfolio 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 Portfolio.

                  Amended and Restated Article of Incorporation herein by

                  permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
                  the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or

                  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

                  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.

                          INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

         Agreement made this ____ day of ___________, 1997 by and between The
Glenmede Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and The Glenmede
Trust Company, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Adviser").

         1. Duties of Adviser. The Company hereby appoints the Adviser to act as
investment adviser to its Global Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolio") for the
period and on such terms set forth in this Agreement. The Company employs the
Adviser to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Portfolio
to continuously review, supervise and administer the investment program of the
Portfolio, to determine in its discretion the securities to be purchased or sold
and the portion of the Portfolio's assets to be held uninvested, to provide the
Company with records concerning the Adviser's activities which the Company is
required to maintain, and to render regular reports to the Company's officers
and Board of Directors concerning the Adviser's discharge of the foregoing
responsibilities. The Adviser shall discharge the foregoing responsibilities
subject to the control of the officers and the Board of Directors of the Company
and in compliance with the objectives, policies and limitations set forth in the
Portfolio's prospectus and applicable laws and regulations. The Adviser

                                       -1-

<PAGE>



accepts such employment and agrees to render the services and to provide, at its
own expense, the office space, furnishings and equipment and the personnel
required by it to perform the services on the terms and for the compensation
provided herein.

         2. Portfolio Transactions. The Adviser is authorized to select the
brokers that will execute the purchases and sales of securities for the
Portfolio and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best available
price and most favorable execution, except as prescribed herein. Subject to
policies established by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Adviser may
also be authorized to effect individual securities transactions at commission
rates in excess of the minimum commission rates available, if the Adviser
determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage or research services provided by such
broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the
Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the Company and other
accounts as to which the Adviser exercises investment discretion. The execution
of such transactions shall not be deemed to represent an unlawful act or breach
of any duty by this Agreement or otherwise. The Adviser will promptly
communicate to the officers and Directors of the Company such information
relating to portfolio transactions as they may reasonably request.

         3. Compensation of the Adviser. For the services provided and the
expenses assumed pursuant to this Agreement, effective as

                                       -2-

<PAGE>



of the date hereof, the Portfolio will pay the Adviser and the Adviser will
accept as full compensation therefor, a fee computed daily and paid monthly (in
arrears), at an annual rate of .70% of the average daily net assets held in the
Portfolio.

                  If in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio
exceed the expense limitations of any state having jurisdiction over the
Portfolio, the Adviser will reimburse the Portfolio for such excess expenses.
The obligation of the Adviser to reimburse the Portfolio hereunder is limited in
any fiscal year to the amount of its fee hereunder for such fiscal year,
provided however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adviser shall
reimburse the Portfolio for such excess expenses regardless of the amount of
fees paid to it during such fiscal year to the extent that the securities
regulations of any state having jurisdiction over the Portfolio so requires.
Such expense reimbursement, if any, will be estimated, reconciled and paid on a
monthly basis.

         4. Other Services. At the request of the Company, the Adviser in its
discretion may make available to the Company office facilities, equipment, and
other services. Such office facilities, equipment, and services shall be
provided for or rendered by the Adviser and billed to the Company at the
Adviser's cost. The Adviser further agrees to assume the cost of printing and
mailing prospectuses to persons other than current shareholders of the Company
and the cost of any other activities primarily intended to result in the sale of
the Company's shares.

                                       -3-

<PAGE>



         5. Reports. The Company and the Adviser agree to furnish to each other
current prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, certified
copies of their financial statements, and such other information with regard to
their affairs as each may reasonably request. 

         6. Status of Adviser. The services of the Adviser to the Company are
not to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free to render similar
services to others so long as its services to the Company are not impaired
thereby. 

         7. Liability of Adviser. In the absence of (i) wilful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in performance of its
obligations and duties hereunder, (ii) reckless disregard by the Adviser of its
obligations and duties hereunder, or (iii) a loss resulting from a breach of
fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services (in
which case any award of damages shall be limited to the period and the amount
set forth in Section 36(b)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940
Act"), the Adviser shall not be subject to any liability whatsoever to the
Company or to any shareholder of the Company, for any error or judgment, mistake
of law or any other act or omission in the course of, or connected with,
rendering services hereunder including without limitation, for any losses that
may be sustained in connection with the purchase, holding redemption or sale of
any security on behalf of the Portfolio.

                                       -4-

<PAGE>



         8. Permissible Interests. Subject to and in accordance with the
Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the Company and the Articles of
Incorporation of the Adviser, Directors, officers, agents and shareholders of
the Company are or may be interested in the Adviser (or any successor thereof)
as Directors, officers, agents, shareholders or otherwise; Directors, officers,
agents and shareholders of the Adviser are or may be interested in the Company
as Directors, officers, shareholders or otherwise; and the Adviser (or any
successor) is or may be interested in the Company as a shareholder or otherwise;
and that the effect of any such interrelationships shall be governed by said
Articles of Amendment and Restatement or Articles of Incorporation (as
applicable) and the provisions of the 1940 Act.

         9. Corporate Name. The Company acknowledges that it has obtained its
corporate name by consent of the Adviser, which consent was given in reliance
and upon the provisions hereafter contained. The Company agrees that if the
Adviser should cease to be the investment adviser of the Company, the Company
will, upon written demand of the Adviser forthwith (a) for a period of two years
after such written demand, state in all prospectuses, advertising material,
letterheads and other material designed to be read by investors or prospective
investors, in a prominent position and in prominent type (as may be reasonably
approved by the Adviser), that The Glenmede Trust Company no longer serves as
the investment adviser of the Company, and (b) delete from its

                                       -5-

<PAGE>



name the word "Glenmede" or any approximation thereof. The Company further
agrees that the Adviser may permit other persons, partnerships (general or
limited), associations, trusts, corporations or other incorporated or
unincorporated groups of persons, including without limitation any investment
company or companies of any type which may be initially sponsored or organized
by the Adviser in the future, to use the word "GLENMEDE" or any approximation
thereof as part of their names. As used in this section, "The Glenmede Trust
Company" and "Adviser" shall include any successor corporation, partnership,
limited partnership, trust or person.

         10. Duration and Termination. This Agreement, unless sooner terminated
as provided herein, shall continue until October 31, 1998 and thereafter shall
continue for periods of one year so long as such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of those members of the
Board of Directors of the Company who are not parties to this Agreement or
interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by the Board of Directors of the
Company or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
Portfolio; provided however, that if the holders of the Portfolio fail to
approve the Agreement as provided herein, the Adviser may continue to serve the
Portfolio in such capacity in the manner and to the extent permitted by the
Company's Board of Directors and the 1940 Act and Rules thereunder. This
Agreement may be

                                       -6-

terminated by the Company at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by
vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors of the Company or by vote of
a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio on 60 days'
written notice to the Adviser. This Agreement may be terminated by the Adviser
at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon 90 days' written notice to
the Company. This Agreement will automatically and immediately terminate in the
event of its assignment. Any notice under this Agreement shall be given in
writing, addressed and delivered or mailed postpaid, to the other party at any
office of such party.

         As used in this Section 10, the terms "assignment", "interested
persons", and a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall
have the respective meanings set forth in Section 2(a)(4), Section 2(a)(19) and
Section 2(a)(42) of the 1940 Act.

         11. Books and Records. In compliance with the requirements of Rule
31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Adviser hereby agrees that all records which it

to surrender promptly to the Company any of such records upon the Company's
request. The Adviser further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by
Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act the records which it maintains for the Company and
are required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act.

                                       -7-

and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

         13. Amendment of Agreement. This Agreement may be amended by mutual
consent, subject to the applicable requirements of the 1940 Act.

         14. Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement shall be held or
made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of
this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
