Glenmede PM Vladimir de Vassal receives Lipper Award for Excellence in Fund Management; Large Cap Growth Fund recognized in Multi-Cap Core Category

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Glenmede Investment Management LP (GIM), a privately owned, independent investment management firm affiliated with the Glenmede Trust Company, N.A., today announced that Vladimir “Val” de Vassal, CFA, Portfolio Manager, Quantitative Equity Strategies, received the 2016 Lipper Award for Excellence in Fund Management. This award recognizes outstanding asset managers who have delivered consistently strong risk-adjusted returns to their investors and, in the opinion of Lipper’s research analysts, represent the best of the funds industry. To qualify, managers had to have served a minimum of five years at a fund that is consistently top-rated by Lipper and is based on data compiled by Lipper through the end of 2015.

“We strive for consistency of investment performance and that requires a culture of continuous improvement,” said Peter Zuleba, President of Glenmede Investment Management. “During his almost 18-year tenure with Glenmede, Val has demonstrated our commitment to achieving strong returns for our investors. We are proud of this achievement, and to have Val and his team’s accomplishment recognized for excellence in fund management.”

The Glenmede Large Cap Growth Fund (GTLLX), co-managed by de Vassal and Paul Sullivan, CFA, also was named by Lipper the best multi-core cap fund for the three- and five-years ended November 30, 2015 among 231 and 210 funds, based on historical risk-adjusted returns. As of December 31, 2015, the fund had approximately $2,059 million in AUM.

GTLLX’s investment objective is based on seeking undervalued stocks with attractive fundamentals, coupled with a disciplined focus on limiting risk. Broadly diversified across sectors, industries and individual companies, the fund’s managers use proprietary multi-factor, sector-specific quantitative models to identify investments in large cap growth companies.

“Our quantitative investment philosophy and process are grounded in rigorous, ongoing testing and evaluation in an effort to deliver competitive long-term return,” said Zuleba. “We are honored to receive these recognitions from Lipper and remain committed to delivering value to our investors.”

Glenmede Investment Management received the awards at the 2016 Lipper Award ceremony, held on March 22nd, in New York City.

The Lipper Fund Awards are part of the Thomson Reuters Awards for Excellence, a global collection of awards celebrating exceptional performance throughout the investment community.

Using a proprietary quantitative fund rating methodology, the Lipper Awards are performance based and objective.
