We focus exclusively on investment and wealth management—we are not distracted by other lines of business and do not have commercial banking, underwrite securities, make loans or sell insurance products.

Glenmede was built to be a sustainable organization with the scale to provide sophisticated expertise and the client focus to deliver customized services and solutions–a unique position in our industry. We are strong, financially sound and proudly independent. Our independence gives us organizational focus and provides the stability that makes us a reliable partner. Private ownership means our interests directly align with our clients.

We were founded with a fiduciary mindset in 1956, and place client interests first so they can rely on the objectivity of our advice and recommendations. We believe each of our clients deserves solutions tailored to their specific needs and service teams who know how to help them fulfill their goals. Our clients have open access to our best thinking and advice across all levels of our organization.

Glenmede has a history of supporting and promoting the influence of women, extending back to our founding in 1956 when two of our four founders were women. Today 50 percent of our Management Committee are women, four of whom lead key business practices within the firm. Additionally, three members of our Board of Directors are women, including the Chair of our Board, Rhonda R. Cohen, the first woman to hold this position.

Our commitment to supporting the success of women in our workplace extends beyond the boardroom and throughout the firm, including recruiting, coaching and ongoing professional development. For example, in 2018 we organized the Women Investing Network of Glenmede, an internal forum that provides opportunities for women at all stages of professional development to network, share information and develop professionally. In addition, we partner with external organizations to support the development of women leaders: the Forum of Executive Women, Power of Professional Women, Women in Investing-Philadelphia, and Girls Who Invest. We believe these and other ongoing initiatives will continue to cultivate Glenmede as a destination for women interested in pursuing careers in financial services.
