Glenmede maintains an Average Parent rating as it continues to balance modest growth ambitions with its traditionally measured approach.
Liz Eldridge took over as president of the investment management arm in late 2024 after leading manager research for the parent company, where CEO Peter Zuleba has been in place since 2023. Within the investment management arm, recent turnover in sales and client service leadership reflects an effort to revive distribution after earlier initiatives fell short, with the current focus on gaining more platform ratings, strengthening institutional coverage, and improving marketing.
Despite these shifts, Glenmede’s stable foundation persists. Founded in 1956 to manage the Pew family trusts, the firm has grown assets under management to about USD 50 billion, lessening Pew’s role. GIM’s investment lineup remains rooted in long-standing strengths—quant equity, US large- and small-cap fundamentally managed strategies, and options-based approaches. Product development is deliberate, and recent strategy resets illustrate a pragmatic approach and heightened focus on client centricity.
Performance has been mixed, with the quant team continuing to stand out while large-cap results lag. Fees, however, have become more competitive, aided by new institutional share classes. The shuttering of the fixed-income capability in 2024 roughly halved the investment manager’s assets to USD 5.8 billion as of December 2025 yet removed a capability where the firm lacked competitive traction.
