PHILADELPHIA, PA–(Marketwired – Apr 8, 2015) – Glenmede and Glenmede Investment Management, LP (GIM), a privately held and independent investment firm, announced today that the Glenmede Large Cap Growth (GTLLX) Fund won the 2015 Lipper Award for leading 5-year risk-adjusted performance among the 219 portfolios and 564 funds in the Multi-Cap Core Funds category. GTLLX, which had approximately $860.7 million in AUM as of December 31, 2014, won the award based on Lipper’s calculation of consistent risk-adjusted return for the 5 years ending November 30, 2014.
“Winning a Lipper Award for our Large Cap Growth fund, is a testament to our investment team’s diligent, disciplined and analytics-driven approach to delivering superior long-term performance for our clients — regardless of the economic environment,” said Gordon Fowler, CEO and CIO of Glenmede. “Our Large Cap Growth fund had a fantastic 2014, and we look forward to building the portfolio this year.”
GTLLX’s investment philosophy is based on seeking undervalued stocks with attractive fundamentals, coupled with a disciplined focus on minimizing risk. Optimized for broad diversification across sectors, industries and individual companies, GTLLX fund managers use proprietary multi-factor fundamental and quantitative models to invest in large cap growth companies that have appealing valuations, high cash flow yields and strong earnings characteristics. The fund invests in companies with market capitalizations within the range of the Russell 1000 Growth universe.
“We are pleased to honor Glenmede for the superior performance of the Glenmede Large Cap Growth Fund,” said Jeff Tjornehoj, Lipper’s Head of Americas Research. “We tip our hats to the team’s commitment to superior risk-adjusted returns.”
The fund is co-managed by Vladimir de Vassal, CFA, and Paul T. Sullivan, CFA. Both de Vassal and Sullivan have managed the fund since its inception in 2004. “We like to say our investment philosophy parallels the theory of emergence,” says de Vassal. “Like in science, where two disparate elements produce something new or more robust, we constantly seek to integrate the right inputs and analytical tools to create a distinct investment process. As a result, stronger predictive values and consistent performance can potentially emerge.”

Mutual fund investing involves risks: principal loss is possible. The Fund may invest in IPOs and the market value of IPO shares could fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading, and limited information about the issuer. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
The Fund’s comparative benchmark is “The Russell 1000 Growth Index” which is an unmanaged, market-capitalization-weighted total return index comprised of securities in the Russell 1000 Index with greater than average growth orientation. This unmanaged index is a total return index with dividends reinvested. You cannot invest in an index.
A Lipper Fund Award is awarded to one fund in each Lipper classification for achieving the strongest trend of consistent risk-adjusted performance against its classification peers over a three, five or ten-year period.
