WORLD ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.


Description of Advisory Services
World is an investment advisory firm that focuses on rule-based passive investment products and provides advisory services tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of each client, including those that have a socially responsible view toward investments. World provides passive investment options for corporations, municipalities, Taft-Hartley clients, endowments, foundations, hospitals, faith-based organizations and trusts and estates. Such services are provided on a discretionary basis, although World may manage assets on a nondiscretionary basis in certain circumstances. Clients may place investment restrictions or guidelines on their account(s). World also serves as a sub-adviser to separately managed accounts and bank collective funds. On May 3, 2017, World engaged LS Investment Advisors, LLC (“LSIA”) to serve as a sub- adviser in the limited role of passive index-related fixed income portfolio management. We made the strategic decision to engage LSIA as a sub-adviser due to its product offering and industry expertise. LSIA was organized in October 2008 and is an independent investment advisor registered with the SEC. LSIA maintains offices in Bloomfield Hills, MI, Milwaukee, WI, and Pasadena, CA. LSIA’s Passive Management team is located in LSIA’s Bloomfield Hills, MI office.
History
World was a part of Manufacturers Bank Trust Investment Department (“Manufacturers Bank”) in the mid 1970’s. In 1992, Manufacturers Bank merged with Comerica Bank. At that time, indexed portfolios were managed by Woodbridge Capital Management, the investment arm of Comerica Bank. In January 1994, indexed portfolio management was transferred out of Woodbridge Capital Management and World Asset Management, LLC was formed. World Asset Management, LLC was registered with the SEC in January 1994 as a subsidiary of Comerica Bank. In early 1995, Comerica formed a general partnership with Munder Capital Management, whereby World became a wholly-owned investment affiliate of Munder Capital Management and relocated to 255 East Brown Street, Suite 250, Birmingham, Michigan 48009. In October 2001, World was merged into and became an internal division of Munder Capital Management. Munder Capital Management was a general partnership minority owned by Munder Capital employees and majority owned by Comerica Bank through subsidiaries. Comerica Incorporated sold its interest in Munder Capital Management effective December 29, 2006, and simultaneously acquired full ownership of World (which incorporated on September 15, 2006) as an indirect subsidiary. World Asset Management, Inc. registered with the SEC in December 2006. In March 2015, World relocated from its Birmingham office to Detroit, MI.
