The Wilshire Small Company Value Fund is a multi-manager fund that blends managers investing in U.S.-based, small capitalization companies whose price-to-earnings ratios are above market average. Wilshire has identified two small cap value managers, each with a distinct investment style, and combined them to create a highly diversified, risk controlled, value-style portfolio. Wilshire monitors the overall fund, as well as each individual manager’s portfolio, confirming that both continue to be consistent with their specific style, risk and performance objectives. Through Wilshire’s portfolio construction process, manager allocations within the Fund are regularly reviewed and adjusted, ensuring that the Fund is well positioned to deliver competitive risk-adjusted performance.
