As part of the Wilshire family, you can rest assured that every day you are contributing to an organization that is helping investors improve their financial outcomes. For more than 50 years, Wilshire has been dedicated to providing customized portfolio solutions grounded in research and powered by next generation technologies.

Wilshire advises on over $1 trillion in assets for some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated institutional investors and is headquartered in the United States with offices worldwide.

Wilshire’s Portfolio Management team works within the Investment Solutions team to deliver strong risk-adjusted investment results for a wide range of financial intermediaries and institutional clients, primarily utilizing traditional investments offered through mutual funds and ETFs. The team provides a wide range of services to clients, including strategic and dynamic asset allocation and underlying manager selection, and investment manager pairing/structuring.

We have a wide range of clients, who include retirement plans, 529 plans, broker-dealers, insurance companies, asset managers and corporate pension plans. Ultimately, the typical underlying beneficiary is not a Wall Street titan, but rather a dental hygienist, a young adult about to enter college, a family preparing for retirement or the like. Americans are generally underprepared for their long-term financial needs and our team endeavors to improve the investment outcomes for millions of underlying beneficiaries.
