About World Asset Management
Since our beginnings in the mid-1970s as part of the Trust Investment department at Manufacturers Bank, we've provided quantitative services to corporations, municipalities, endowments/foundations, unions, and high net worth clients. At the time of the merger of Manufacturers Bank and Comerica Bank in the early 1990s, we continued to provide our services as part of Comerica Bank's investment arm, Woodbridge Capital Management, until 1994 when World Asset Management was formed as a subsidiary of Comerica Bank. As part of Comerica's 1995 general partnership with Munder Capital Management, World Asset became a wholly owned investment affiliate of Munder Capital Management and later was merged into and became a division of Munder. In 2006, when Comerica sold its stake in Munder, Comerica retained full ownership of World Asset Management and World Asset Management, Inc. was then formed as a subsidiary of Comerica Bank.

World Asset Management, Inc. is located at 255 East Brown Street, Suite 250, Birmingham, Michigan 48009. Call us at 248-594-5200.
