Discussion of the Capital Markets for the Period

The 3rd quarter GDP figures showed improving economic activities as the economy grew at 4.9%, a solid 3.8% growth from the previous quarter. Inflation continued to be stable, particularly when measured excluding food & energy components. The Core Inflation rate grew at an annual rate of 2%, in line with the Federal Reserve comfort zone. However, inflationary concerns continued to weigh on investors’ minds as inflation trended notably higher toward the end of the year. Rising energy prices were partially to blame for the persistent inflation concern. Oil prices advanced from $61 per barrel to finishing the year at $96 per barrel, a whopping 57% increase over the Period. Job growth slowed toward the end of the year with only 18,000 new jobs added in the month of December compared to a total of 264,000 jobs that were created in the two previous months. According to the Department of Labor, unemployment rate inched up to 5%, the highest since Q4 2006. The picture on the housing sector deteriorated further during the Period as existing home sales fell 20% year-over-year.

The sluggish domestic economy also weighed heavily on the U.S. equity markets during the Period. The domestic market as measured by the comprehensive Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index (“Stock Index”) advanced 5.62% for the Period, continuing the positive trend for the 5th consecutive year. The strength within the market was seen in large cap stocks and growth stocks, which took over the leadership roles from small cap and value stocks. The small cap value segment of the market was mired by its heavy exposure to housing stocks and financial companies, two industries that lost considerable ground during the year. Growth stocks on the other hand performed well, especially within the small cap space.

Growth stocks outperformed value stocks partially due to their limited exposures to the financials sector, which was plagued by unrelenting losses from the sub-prime debt crisis. Financial stocks as a group are the largest component within the value indices, therefore their beleaguered performance contributed to the underperformance of value stocks for the year. For similar reasons, the Russell 1000 Value Index’s higher exposure to sub-prime mortgage originators contributed to its underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index over the Period. In contrast, cyclical sectors such as Industrials, Materials, and Energy continued to provide leadership and posted better returns.

For the sixth consecutive year, non-U.S. stocks performed better than U.S. stocks. In U.S. dollar terms, non-U.S. stocks as measured by the MSCI AC World ex U.S. Index returned 16.65% for the year versus the 5.62% return for the Stock Index. The continuing valuation of the dollar partially contributed to the advance of non-U.S. stocks though emerging markets around the world provided the strongest leadership, particularly the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China). Developed foreign markets gained 11.17%, almost twice the gain of the U.S. market, and Emerging Markets had a spectacular year, returning 39.39% for the year.

The sub-prime debt crisis and the subsequent tightening of liquidity significantly impacted the bond market, especially the high yield bonds. To relieve recessionary worries, the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee cut interest rates three times, each time by 25 basis points, since September. As a result, the key Fed Funds Rate ended the year at 4.25%. Bond investors benefited from the Fed rate cuts and a broadly based flight to quality as high quality investment grade bonds, led by U.S. Treasury issues, outperformed the domestic equities during the Period. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.97% for the year, higher than the Stock Index return of 5.62% for the same period. The high yield bond segment was marked by mortgage and sub-prime damages and its return substantially trailed the high credit quality U.S. Treasury securities. For the year, the Lehman Brothers U.S. High Yield index returned 1.83% versus the Lehman Brothers Long-term Treasury Index’s 9.81% return.

We appreciate our loyal shareholders’ business and your ongoing support. Thank you for your continued confidence in Wilshire Associates.

 

Sincerely,

Lawrence E. Davanzo, President

PORTFOLIO SECTOR WEIGHTING*

(As of December 31, 2007)

LOGO

The Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned a positive 2.20% for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”). For the Period, the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index returned 5.54%. Despite a rocky and volatile second half of the Period for the domestic economy, the domestic stock market posted its fifth consecutive years of positive return.

The Fund’s performance was hampered by investors’ heightened economic concerns during the latter half of the year which was characterized by a mounting credit crisis related to sub-prime mortgage defaults. Investors’ concerns spread throughout the Financials sector of the economy and led to a broad retreat of all financial companies regardless of their exposures to the liquidity crisis.

The Fund had very limited direct exposure to the sub-prime market throughout the year and its solid stock selection in the Financials sector added to returns, though the Fund’s overweight to the sector detracted from performance. Other notable contributions to performance were the overweight position to the Information Technology sector and strong stock selection within the Materials sector.

As the market continues to be volatile, we believe investors’ interests will be well served with the Fund’s balanced approach to investing in high quality large companies in the U.S. market.

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION*

(As of December 31, 2007)

LOGO

The Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) is structured to provide long-term investors with an appropriate exposure to both equities and fixed income securities. In achieving the desired exposure to the blend of equities and fixed income, the Fund invests 60% and 40% of its assets in the Equity Fund and the Income Fund, respectively.

For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”), the Fund returned 3.08%. It’s the fifth consecutive year that the Fund has delivered positive returns to shareholders. Relative to its blended benchmark returns comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund underperformed by 3.00% for the Period. The Fund’s return is driven by the underlying funds in which it invests.

The Balanced Fund attempts to achieve its objective by investing in other funds. You may invest in the underlying funds directly. By investing in the underlying funds indirectly through the Balanced Fund, you will incur not only the expenses of the underlying funds, but also the expenses of the Balanced Fund. The Balanced Fund is subject to the risks of the underlying funds it holds. The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

PORTFOLIO SECTOR WEIGHTING*

(As of December 31, 2007)

LOGO

The Income Fund (the “Fund”) returned a positive 4.21% for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”). For the Period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) returned 6.96%.

The strong performance of the Index was driven by a flight to quality as investors sought to buy treasuries by selling riskier assets. Negative investors’ sentiment also led to a lack of liquidity in the marketplace as participants were unwilling to take any risk at the end of the Period.

The Fund’s exposure to riskier spread sectors drove the underperformance for the Period. Its exposures to high yield credit, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and mortgage-backed securities weighed heavily on relative performance. This Period has been challenging due to the lack of liquidity in the marketplace, but we anticipate these positions to rally when fundamentals come back into favor.

The Short-Term Investment Fund (the “Fund”) returned a positive 4.88% for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”). For the Period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Treasury Bill Index returned 5.03%.

Short-term bonds rallied during the quarter as the Fed lowered interest rates in response to uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment. At the same time, higher quality instruments received increased demand as investors unwound riskier positions and moved to safer short-term assets. As a result, both the Fund and market fared well for the quarter and the Period as a whole.

The Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) returned a positive 13.91% for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”). For the Period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the “Index”) returned 7.05%. Despite a rocky and volatile year for equities, the domestic market posted its fifth consecutive year of positive returns.

The top performing sectors in the Index during this Period were the Materials and Utilities sectors. The laggards were the Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors. The sub-prime fallout led to depressed valuations on any housing related holdings which in turn led to a drop in consumer spending. Most consumer-related holdings were affected in the latter half of the Period.

The Fund outperformed the Index by 6.86% over the Period due to superior stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors. It is worth noting that the Consumer Discretionary sector was the second worst performing sector in the Index returning -3.85%. The sector is hampered by fears of a slowing U.S. economy; however, our Fund’s subadvisers’ ability to pick securities contributed to performance.

The Fund continues to maintain its focus on generating alpha while maintaining a level of risk in an inefficient market during this volatile period.

The International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned a positive 8.73% for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”). For the Period, the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (the “Index”) returned 11.17%. International equities posted positive gains throughout the Period, boosted by strong corporate earnings and global growth.

From a country perspective, Finland, Hong Kong, and Norway were the top contributors in the Index. The only markets in negative territory during this Period were Ireland, Japan and Belgium. The top contributors on a sector basis were Materials and Telecommunication Services. Financials were the weakest sector during the Period.

The International Equity Fund underperformed the Index by 2.44% over the Period due to underexposures to Materials and Mining. The market had strong growth in these holdings as developing economies increased their demand for global cyclicals, which in turn have boosted commodity prices. In a momentum-driven market, the Fund will tend to lag as the Fund maintains its focus on investing in companies with good fundamentals. We expect the Fund to maintain its investment philosophy process during volatile periods. When the market rewards companies with strong fundamentals, the Fund should continue to deliver strong performance gains.

Foreign securities may be subject to a higher degree of market risk due to currency fluctuations, lack of liquidity, and political and economic instability.

The Socially Responsible Fund (the “Fund”) returned -2.63% for the period ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”). The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, returned 5.54% for the same Period. 2007 proved to be a very challenging period for socially-responsible investing as many leading sectors resided within those sectors of the economy deemed not to be socially responsible.

Energy, Materials, and Utilities were sectors that posted leading performance for the Period. The traditionally socially responsible sectors, Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors, underperformed the more economically sensitive sectors. The Fund’s underperformance primarily came from its sector decisions, where its underweight to the Energy sector detracted from performance.

The Fund’s focus in maintaining high standards of socially responsibility has not wavered during this Period though its performance was hampered by that mandate. “Despite its challenges during the period, we feel the Portfolio is well positioned.”

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES

For the Six-Month Period Ended December 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

   LOGO

 

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for investment advisory, administrative services, distribution and/or shareholder services and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

This table illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses, after any applicable fee waivers, that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return for the period, the “Expense Ratio” column shows the period’s annualized expense ratio, and the “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund at the beginning of the period.

You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Fund in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumed rate of return. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in making comparisons to other mutual funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess your Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust has no such charges or fees, but they may be present in other funds to which you compare this data. Therefore, the hypothetical portions of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds.

1. Organization.

The Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end, diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), which offers units of beneficial ownership (shares) in 14 separate investment portfolios. The portfolios presented in these financial statements are: Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Income Fund, Short-Term Investment Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, International Equity Fund and Socially Responsible Fund (collectively the “Funds”, and each a “Fund”). The financial statements for the 2010 Aggressive Fund, 2010 Moderate Fund, 2010 Conservative Fund, 2015 Moderate Fund, 2025 Moderate Fund, 2035 Moderate Fund, and 2045 Moderate Fund (collectively, the “Underlying Funds”) are included in a separate annual report. Sponsorship of the Trust (formerly Horace Mann Mutual Funds) transferred from The Horace Mann Companies to Wilshire Associates Incorporated (the “Adviser”) on September 30, 2004. Shares of the Funds are presently offered to Horace Mann Life Insurance Company (“HMLIC”) Separate Account and the HMLIC 401(k) Separate Account. The Equity Fund shares also may be purchased under the dividend reinvestment plans by certain shareholders.

Fund Investment Objectives:

Equity Fund — primary, long-term capital growth; secondary, conservation of principal and production of income.

Balanced Fund — realization of high long-term total rate of return consistent with prudent investment risks.

Income Fund — long-term total rate of return in excess of the U.S. bond market over a full market cycle.

Short-Term Investment Fund — primary, realize maximum current income to the extent consistent with liquidity; secondary, preservation of principal.

Small Cap Growth Fund — long-term capital appreciation through investing primarily in equity securities of small cap companies with earnings growth potential.

International Equity Fund — long-term growth of capital through diversified holdings of marketable foreign equity investments.

Socially Responsible Fund — long-term growth of capital, current income and growth of income through investing primarily in equity securities of issuers that meet certain socially responsible criteria.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies.

Security Valuation — A security listed or traded on a domestic exchange is valued at its last sales price on the exchange where it is principally traded. In the absence of a current quotation, the security is valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices on the exchange. Securities traded on National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation (“Nasdaq”) System are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price. If there is no Nasdaq official closing price available, the most recent bid quotation is used. Securities traded over-the-counter (other than on Nasdaq) are valued at the last current sale price. Equity securities primarily traded on a foreign exchange or market are valued daily at the price, which is an estimate of the fair value price, as provided by an independent pricing service. Debt securities that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued according to procedures established by the Board of Trustees or are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee, whose members include at least one representative of the Adviser who is an officer of the Trust and at least one portfolio management professional of the subadviser responsible for managing the portion of the Fund whose securities require a fair valuation determination, or the Funds’ Valuation Committee. Securities whose market value does not reflect fair value because a significant valuation event has occurred may be valued at fair value by the Pricing Committee or the Valuation Committee. The value of fair valued securities may be different from the last sale price (or the mean between the last bid and asked prices), and there is no guarantee that a fair valued security will be sold at the price at which a Fund is carrying the security. Investments in the Underlying Funds by the Balanced Fund are valued at their net asset value as reported by the Underlying Funds.

Security transactions and investment income — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income and distributions on affiliated funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon the dividend information becomes available. Interest income and distributions on affiliated funds, premium and discount amortization is accrued daily. Securities gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.

The Income Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, International Equity Fund and Socially Responsible Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis and make contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitment basis involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date. Although the Funds would generally purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities, each Fund may dispose of such securities prior to settlement if its subadviser deems it appropriate to do so. Each Fund may dispose of or negotiate a when-issued or forward commitment after entering into these transactions. Such transactions are generally considered to be derivative transactions. The Fund will normally realize a capital gain or loss in connection with these transactions. When a Fund purchases securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitment basis, the Fund’s custodian will maintain cash or liquid securities having a value (determined daily) at least equal to the amount of the Fund’s purchase commitments. In the case of a forward commitment to sell portfolio securities, the custodian will hold the portfolio securities themselves while the commitment is outstanding. These procedures are designed to ensure that each Fund will maintain sufficient assets at all times to cover its obligations under when-issued purchases, forward commitments and delayed-delivery transactions.

Repurchase Agreements — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by PFPC Trust Company and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by its custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. It is the Fund’s policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the investment adviser to be creditworthy. The Fund bears the risk of loss in the event that the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Fund is prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period.

Securities lending — The Equity, Income, Small Cap Growth and the International Equity Funds may seek additional income by lending their securities on a short-term basis to banks, brokers and dealers in return for cash collateral, which is invested in short-term securities. A Fund may return a portion of the interest earned to the borrower or a third party which is unaffiliated with the Trust and acting as a “placing broker.” A Fund receives compensation for lending securities in the form of fees. A Fund also continues to receive dividends on the securities loaned. Security loans are secured at all times by collateral. It is the Trust’s policy that the collateral be equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest when the transaction is entered into, and that the collateral supporting loans be remarked daily. Gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan are reflected in the value of the Fund. The risks from securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due or when called for by the Fund. PFPC Trust Company, the Funds’ custodian, acts as the securities lending agent for the Funds. The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral at December 31, 2007, are shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The related income from securities loaned is reflected in the Statements of Operations.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls — The Income Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Income Fund makes a forward commitment to purchase or sell a security and, instead of accepting or making delivery, the position is offset by a sale or purchase of the security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase or resell similar, but not identical, securities at an agreed upon price in the future. The Income Fund accounts for such dollar rolls as purchases and sales and records an unrealized gain or loss each day equal to the difference between the original value of the purchase and the current market value. The Income Fund must maintain liquid securities having a value not less than the repurchase price, including accrued interest, for such dollar rolls. Losses may arise due to changes in values of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Income Fund’s right to repurchase or resell securities may be limited.

ADR’s, EDR’s and GDR’s — The Small Cap Growth Fund, International Equity Fund and Socially Responsible Fund may invest in both sponsored and unsponsored American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depository Receipts (“EDRs”), Global Depository Receipts (“GDRs”) and other similar global instruments. The Equity Fund may invest in ADRs. ADRs typically are issued by an American bank or trust company and evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. EDRs, which are sometimes referred to as Continental Depository Receipts, are receipts issued in Europe, typically by foreign banks and trust companies, that evidence ownership of either foreign or domestic underlying securities. GDRs are depository receipts structured like global debt issues to facilitate trading on an international basis. Unsponsored ADR, EDR and GDR programs are organized independently and without the cooperation of the issuer of the underlying securities. As a result, available information concerning the issuer may not be as current as for sponsored ADRs, EDRs and GDRs, and the prices of unsponsored ADRs, EDRs and GDRs may be more volatile than if such instruments were sponsored by the issuer.

Asset Backed and Mortgage Securities — The Income Fund may invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities which represent shares in a pool of mortgages or other debt. These securities are generally pass-through securities, which means that principal and interest payments on the underlying securities (less servicing fees) are passed through to shareholders on a pro rata basis. These securities involve prepayment risk, which is the risk that the underlying mortgages or other debt may be refinanced or paid off before they mature, particularly during periods of declining interest rates. In that case, a subadviser may have to reinvest the proceeds from the securities at a lower interest rate. This could lower a Fund’s return and result in losses to a Fund if some securities were acquired at a premium. Potential market gains on a security subject to prepayment risk may be more limited than potential market gains on a comparable security that is not subject to prepayment risk. The Income Fund may also invest in collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). In a CMO, a series of bonds or certificates is issued in multiple classes, which have varying levels of risks.

Foreign Currency Transactions — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

 

   

market value of investment securities, other assets and other liabilities at the daily rates of exchange and

 

   

purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions includes gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the sales of foreign currency and gains and losses between the ex-dividend and payment dates on dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized gains or losses is reflected as a component of such gains or losses.

Futures Contracts — A futures contract is an agreement to purchase (long) or sell (short) an agreed asset at a set price for delivery on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security. The change in the value of the futures contract is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain or loss. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain or loss is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on futures contracts. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movement in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and underlying hedged assets.

Forward Currency Contracts — The International Equity and the Income Funds may enter into forward currency contracts in order to reduce their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings and to lock in the U.S. dollar cost of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. A forward currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss arising from the differences between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing of such contract is included in net realized gain or loss from foreign currency transactions.

New accounting policy — In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of SFAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2007, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements. However, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements reported on the financial statements for a fiscal period.

Expense policy — Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among all Funds daily in relation to the net assets of each Fund or another reasonable basis. Expenses which are attributable to Trust and the Wilshire Mutual Funds are allocated across the Trust and the Wilshire Mutual Funds based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis.

Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions.

The Trust employs the Adviser to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds and to continuously review, oversee and administer the Funds’ investment programs. The Adviser has entered into agreements with the following subadvisers: Equity Fund — AllianceBernstein L.P., New York Life Investment Management LLC and Pzena Investment Management, LLC; Income Fund — Western Asset Management Company and Western Asset Management Limited; International Equity Fund — PanAgora Asset Management, Inc. and Thomas White International, Ltd.; Short-Term Investment Fund — Western Asset Management Company; Small Cap Growth Fund — BNY Asset Management and Copper Rock Capital Partners, LLC; Socially Responsible Fund — AllianceBernstein L.P.

Each subadviser’s fees are paid by the Adviser out of the advisory fees that it receives from each of the Funds. Fees paid to a subadviser of a Fund with multiple subadvisers depends upon the fee rate negotiated with the Adviser and upon the percentage of the Fund’s assets allocated to that subadviser by the Adviser, which may vary from time to time. Thus, the basis for fees paid to any such subadviser is not constant, and the relative amounts of fees paid to the various subadvisers of a Fund may fluctuate. These internal fluctuations, however, will not affect the total advisory fees paid by a Fund, which will remain fixed on the terms described below. The Adviser may, however, determine in its discretion to waive a portion of its fee if internal fluctuations in the fee to be paid to the subadvisers results in excess profit to the Adviser. Because the Adviser will pay each subadviser’s fees out of its own fees from the Funds, there will not be any “duplication” of advisory fees paid by the Funds.

The Trust and the Wilshire Mutual Funds, Inc. each pay a portion of the CCO’s compensation, and related out of pocket expenses, and the Adviser pays the remainder of such compensation. The Trust and the Wilshire Mutual Funds, Inc. together pay each independent trustee an annual Board member retainer of $10,000, an annual additional Board chair retainer of $16,000, a Board meeting fee of $1,500, a telephonic meeting fee of $1,000, an annual Committee member retainer of $4,000, an annual Committee chair retainer of $8,000 in lieu of the $4,000 Committee member retainer, and a Committee telephonic meeting fee of $500.

 

4. Distribution and Service Plan.

The Funds have adopted a Rule 12b-1 distribution plan (the “Distribution Plan”). Pursuant to the Distribution Plan with the Funds, PFPC Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) receives a distribution fee, payable by each Fund. The Distributor uses the fee to pay for distribution-related services for the Funds. Under the Distribution Plan, each Fund will pay to the Distributor a shareholder/distribution services fee computed at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to each Fund.

International Equity Fund (1 omnibus shareholder)

   94 %

Socially Responsible Fund (1 omnibus shareholder)

   100 %

 

7. Tax Information.

No provision for Federal income taxes is required because each Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributes to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the

 

70


WILSHIRE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

December 31, 2007

   LOGO

 

financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the year of determination. Adoption of FIN 48 is required no later than the last business day of the first financial statement reporting period for fiscal years beginning after June 29, 2007 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. The Funds file U. S. federal income tax returns and returns in various foreign jurisdictions in which it invests. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Fund’s U.S. federal income tax returns filed for the fiscal years 2004 to 2006, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Management has completed their analysis and has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have an impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

The Funds intend to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2007, the following Funds had available for Federal income tax purposes unused capital losses as follows:

 

     Expiring December 31
     2010    2012    2013    2014

8. Reclassifications.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. The reclassifications primarily include: foreign currency capital gain/(loss) to ordinary income, foreign bond bifurcation, recharacterization of distributions, excess distributions not exceeding current year earnings and profits, PFIC capital gain to ordinary income and the write off of net operating loss to paid-in-capital. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. As of December 31, 2007, the reclassifications were as follows:

 

Fund

   Increase/

Paid-in
Capital

9. Indemnifications.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Income Fund, Short-Term Investment Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, International Equity Fund, and Socially Responsible Fund (seven series of Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2007, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and underlying funds’ transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

WILSHIRE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

BOARD APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

   LOGO

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) approved the renewal for an additional one-year term of the Trust’s advisory agreement with Wilshire Associates Incorporated (“Wilshire” or the “Adviser”) on behalf of the Equity Fund, Socially Responsible Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Income Fund, International Equity Fund, Balanced Fund and Short-Term Investment Fund (the “Funds”). The Board also approved the renewal for additional one-year terms of Wilshire’s Subadvisory Agreements with each of the following subadvisers: AllianceBernstein L.P. (Equity Fund and Socially Responsible Fund), BNY Asset Management (Small Cap Growth Fund), Copper Rock Capital Partners, LLC (Small Cap Growth Fund), New York Life Investment Management LLC (Equity Fund), PanAgora Asset Management, Inc. (International Equity Fund), Pzena Investment Management, LLC (Equity Fund), Western Asset Management Company (Income Fund and Short-Term Investment Fund) and Western Asset Management Company Limited (Income Fund). In addition, the Board approved a new subadvisory agreement between Wilshire and Thomas White International, Ltd. (“Thomas White”) with respect to the International Equity Fund. In the following text, the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Wilshire are referred to as the “Advisory Agreement,” the subadvisers are referred to as “Subadvisers” and the Subadvisory Agreements between Wilshire and each Subadviser are referred to as “Subadvisory Agreements.”

The information in this summary outlines the Board’s considerations associated with its approval of each Advisory Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement. In connection with its deliberations regarding the continuation or approval of these relationships, the Board considered such information and factors as it believed to be relevant. As described below, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services performed by Wilshire and the Subadviser under the existing arrangements and for Thomas White, the nature, extent and quality of the services to be performed; with respect to Wilshire, comparative fees and expense ratios as prepared by an independent provider (Lipper Inc.); the profits to be realized by Wilshire and the Subadvisers; the extent to which Wilshire and the Subadvisers realize or may realize economies of scale as a Fund grows; and whether any fall-out benefits are being or may be realized by Wilshire and the Subadvisers. In considering these matters, the Board was advised with respect to relevant legal standards by independent counsel. In addition, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”) discussed the renewal of the Advisory Agreements with management and in private sessions with counsel at which no representatives of Wilshire were present and discussed the renewal or approval of the Subadvisory Agreements with management and in private sessions with counsel at which no representatives of Wilshire or the Subadvisers were present.

As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, each approval was confirmed by the unanimous separate vote of the Independent Trustees. In deciding to approve renewal of each Advisory Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement or to approve the new Subadvisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as controlling and this summary does not describe all of the matters considered. However, the Board concluded that each of the various factors referred to below favored such approval.

Information Requested and Received

The Board, including all the Independent Trustees, considered the renewal of the Subadvisory Agreements pursuant to a process that concluded at the Board’s August 24, 2007 meeting and the renewal of each Advisory Agreement and approval of the new Subadvisory Agreement pursuant to a process that concluded at the Board’s November 30, 2007 meeting, in each case following an extensive process. At the direction of the Independent Trustees, counsel to the Trust and the Independent Trustees sent a memorandum to the Adviser requesting information regarding the Subadvisory Agreements and the Advisory Agreements to be provided to the Trustees in advance of meetings of the Contract Review Committee (which is comprised of all the Independent Trustees) held on August 23, 2007 and November 29, 2007, respectively. Based upon a review of such information, counsel sent follow-up memoranda, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, requesting additional information to be considered at the August 23, 2007 and November 29, 2007 meetings.

In response to the requests for information, the Trustees received information from the Adviser as to each of the Funds describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of each Fund as provided by Lipper Inc., (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as a Fund grows, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies as provided by Lipper Inc., and (vii) benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. The Trustees received information from the Adviser regarding the factors underlying its recommendations to continue or approve each Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also received information from each Subadviser as to each Fund it managed

and from Thomas White describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided or to be provided; (ii) the investment performance of the Subadviser in connection with the Fund or, for Thomas White, the investment performance for other funds managed by Thomas White that are similar to the Fund; (iii) the financial condition of the Subadviser; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are or would be realized as a Fund grows; (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders; (vi) where applicable, comparisons of services rendered or to be rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies and any comparable advisory clients; and (vii) benefits realized or to be realized by the Subadviser from its relationship with the Fund. At each meeting, the Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from counsel describing their duties in connection with contract approvals, and they were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel.

Following the receipt of all information, the Contract Review Committee met on August 23, 2007 and November 29, 2007, as applicable, to discuss the information provided. Following its evaluation of all materials provided, the Contract Review Committee concluded that it was in the best interests of each Fund to renew the applicable Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements and recommended to the Board that such Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements be renewed. At its meetings on August 24, 2007 and November 30, 2007, as applicable, the Board considered the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee along with the other factors that the Board deemed relevant. At its meeting on November 30, 2007, the Board also considered a report from the Investment Committee (which is comprised solely of Independent Trustees) which, met on November 29, 2007 to review the data Lipper Inc. had prepared on performance, fees and expenses to assist the Board in the consideration of the Advisory Agreements and to review information regarding Thomas White.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Wilshire

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the functions performed by the Adviser, noting that the Adviser performs administrative functions on behalf of the Funds and engages and oversees subadvisers to manage the assets of the Funds, except for the Balanced Fund, which has a fund-of-funds structure whereby it invests in shares of certain of the Funds. The Board considered the experience and skills of the senior management leading fund operations, the experience and skills of the personnel performing the functions under each Advisory Agreement and the resources made available to such personnel. The Board also considered the compliance programs established by the Adviser and the level of compliance maintained for the Funds. The Board concluded that appropriate resources were being provided under the agreements to administer the Trust’s affairs. The Board reviewed the processes used by the Adviser to select, monitor and replace subadvisers. The Board concluded that the Adviser was successful in negotiating favorable subadvisory agreements on behalf of the subadvised Funds. The Board concluded that the Adviser had a robust system in place for selecting, monitoring and terminating subadvisers. The Board also reviewed the Adviser’s financial condition. Based upon all relevant factors, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund are satisfactory.

The Board reviewed information on the performance of each Fund for one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, along with performance information of a relevant securities index, a peer group of funds from Lipper’s database (where applicable) and a peer universe of funds from Lipper’s database. For the Small Cap Growth Fund, the Board determined that performance was satisfactory, noting that the Fund had outperformed its Lipper peer group and peer universe for the one-year period and outperformed its benchmark for most periods. For the Socially Responsible Fund, the Board determined that performance was satisfactory, noting that the Fund’s performance was competitive as compared to its Lipper peer group and peer universe, and that over longer term periods it had outperformed its benchmark. For the Short-Term Investment Fund, the Board determined that performance was satisfactory, noting that the Fund had outperformed or was competitive as compared to its Lipper peer group and peer universe for the one- and three-year periods, and compared reasonably with its benchmark over longer periods. For the Equity Fund, the Board determined that performance was satisfactory, noting that it outperformed its Lipper peer group and the Fund’s performance was competitive as compared to its Lipper peer universe for the one-year period and that it was competitive with its benchmark over longer periods. For each of the Income Fund and the Balanced Fund, the Board determined that performance was satisfactory, noting that although the Funds had underperformed their Lipper peer group and peer universe, their performance relative to their benchmarks was competitive over longer periods. In addition, the Board noted that the unusual volatility in the credit market had negatively impacted the performance of the Income Fund. The Board noted the steps being taken to address the investment performance of the International Equity Fund, and concluded that such steps were reasonably designed to address performance issues.

Advisory Fees

The Board reviewed each Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio and reviewed information comparing the advisory fee and total expense ratio to those of a peer group of funds. The Board determined that the advisory fee and expense ratio for each Fund were within a competitive range. Although the Board noted that the Socially Responsible Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund and International Equity Fund have relatively high contractual advisory fees in comparison to their Lipper peer groups, the Board recognized that the advisory fees charged to the Funds are primarily driven by the subadvisory fees paid, which the Board concluded were at competitive levels. In addition, the Board noted that pursuant to the Trust’s current arrangement with the Adviser, the Adviser waives fees and expenses for the Short-Term Investment Fund and voluntarily waives a portion of its advisory fees with respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund and the International Equity Fund. As to total expenses, the Board noted that total expenses are influenced by the small size of the complex. The Board received information regarding fees charged by the Adviser to other similar registered investment companies advised by the Adviser and determined such fees were comparable to those of the applicable funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in amount.

Profitability to Wilshire and Economies of Scale

With respect to the profitability of each Advisory Agreement, the Board primarily considered the fee structure of the Advisory Agreement, including the costs of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. The Board concluded that the profits realized by the Adviser were reasonable in comparison with the costs of providing investment advisory services to the Funds. In addition, the Board considered the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reasonably reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board reviewed each Fund’s asset size, each Fund’s expense ratio, the advisory fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements currently in place and whether the investment process produced economies of scale. The Board noted that the advisory fee for all Funds other than the Small Cap Growth Fund includes a breakpoint. The Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory fee reflects an appropriate recognition of any economies of scale.

Fall-Out Benefits - Wilshire

The Board considered the nature and amount of any benefits derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. The Board determined that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of these fall-out benefits.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Subadvisers

As to each Subadvisory Agreement, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided or to be provided under each Subadvisory Agreement. The Board considered the reputation, qualifications and background of the Subadviser, investment approach of the Subadviser, the experience and skills of investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund, and the resources made available to such personnel. For the continuing Subadvisers, the Board also considered the Subadviser’s compliance with investment policies and general legal compliance. For Tho-mas White, the Board also considered the Subadviser’s general legal compliance and the assessment of the Trust’s chief compliance officer regarding the Subadviser’s compliance program. In addition, the Board considered the analysis provided under the Adviser’s oversight program, which concluded that each Subadviser was providing or would provide reasonable services and recommended that each Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund be continued or approved, as applicable.

Based upon all relevant factors, the Board concluded that the investment performance of Pzena and New York Life with respect to the Equity Fund, AllianceBernstein with respect to the Socially Responsible Fund, Copper Rock and BNY with respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund, PanAgora with respect to the Equity Fund and Western Asset and Western Asset Limited with respect to the Income Fund met or exceeded acceptable levels of investment performance and, therefore, was satisfactory. The Board noted AllianceBernstein’s underperformance with respect to the Equity Fund since AllianceBernstein’s investment strategy changed in August 2006, but determined to recommend continuation of the Subadvisory Agreement given AllianceBernstein’s short tenure employing the new investment strategy for the Equity Fund. The Board determined that Western Asset’s underperformance with respect to the Short-Term Investment Fund was a result of its small size and expenses and, therefore concluded that investment performance was satisfactory. The Board concluded that the investment performance for other funds managed by Thomas White similar to the International Equity Fund exceeded acceptable levels of investment performance and, therefore, was expected to be satisfactory.

Subadvisory fees

The Board considered each Fund’s subadvisory fees. The Board evaluated the competitiveness of the subadvisory fees based upon data supplied by each Subadviser about the fees charged to other clients. The Board also considered that the subadvisory fee rates were negotiated at arm’s length between the Adviser and each Subadviser, that the Adviser compensates the Subadviser from its fees, and that the aggregate advisory fee was deemed reasonable by the Board.

For the Subadvisers that reported fees for “Other Clients” with comparable investment policies and services, the Board noted that most Subadvisers did not charge higher fees to the Adviser for the Funds than was charged to their Other Clients. For those Subadvisers where the fees charged to the Adviser were higher than that charged to Other Clients, the Board determined that the fees charged to the Adviser were generally competitive.

Based upon all of the above, the Board determined that the subadvisory fees for each Fund were reasonable.

Profitability to the Subadvisers

The Board noted that the Adviser compensates each Subadviser from its own advisory fees and that the fees were negotiated at arm’s length between the Adviser and each Subadviser. In addition, the Board noted that the revenues to the various Subadvisers were limited due to the size of the Funds. Accordingly, the Board concluded that they need not review estimated levels of profits to the Subadvisers in order to conclude, as they did, that profitability to the Subadvisers was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale - Subadvisers

The Board considered whether there are or may be economies of scale with respect to the subadvisory services provided or to be provided to each Fund and whether the subadvisory fees reflect such economies of scale through breakpoints in fees. The Board also considered whether the effective subadvisory fee rate for each Fund under the Subadvisory Agreement is reasonable in relation to the asset size of such Fund. The Board concluded that the fee schedule for each Fund reflects an appropriate recognition of any economies of scale.

Fall-Out Benefits - Subadvisers

The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits received or to be received by each Subadviser. The Board considered each Subadviser’s soft dollar practices and, if applicable, use of affiliated brokerage. The Board concluded that, taking into account the benefits arising from these practices, the fees charged under each Subadvisory Agreement were reasonable.

Conclusion

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each Fund. The Board also determined that the terms of each Subadvisory Agreement continue to be or are fair and reasonable and that the continuation or approval of each Subadvisory Agreement, as applicable, is in the best interests of each Fund.

Discussion of the Capital Markets for the Period

The most recent GDP figures showed improving economic activities during the 3rd quarter from the previous quarter. The GDP figure showed that the economy grew 4.9% during the 3rd quarter, confirming the solid 3.8% growth from the previous quarter. Inflation continued to be stable, particularly when measured excluding food & energy components. The core inflation rate grew at an annual rate of 2%, in line with the Federal Reserve’s comfort zone. However, inflationary concerns continued to weigh on investors’ minds as inflation was trending notably higher toward the end of the year. Rising energy prices were partially to blame for the persistent inflation concern. Oil prices advanced from $61 per barrel finishing the year at $96 per barrel, a whopping 57% increase over the Period. During the 4th quarter, oil prices flirted with the $100 a barrel level. Job growth slowed toward the end of the year with the addition of only 18,000 new jobs in the month of December while a total of 264,000 jobs were created in the two previous months. According to the Department of Labor, the unemployment rate inched up to 5%, the highest it had been since Q4 2006. The picture of the housing sector deteriorated further during the Period; existing home sales fell 20% year-over-year.

The sluggish domestic economy weighed heavily on the U.S. equity markets during the Period. The domestic market as measured by the comprehensive Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index (“Stock Index”) advanced 5.62% for the Period, continuing a positive trend for the 5th consecutive year. The strength within the market was seen in large cap stocks and growth stocks, which took over the leadership roles from small cap and value stocks. The small cap value segment of the market was mired by its heavy exposure to housing stocks and financial companies, two industries that lost considerable ground during the year. Growth stocks on the other hand performed well, especially within the small cap growth segment.

Growth stocks outperformed value stocks partially due to limited exposure to the financials sector, which was plagued by unrelenting losses from the sub-prime debt crisis. Financial stocks as a group are the largest component within the value indices, and their beleaguered performance contributed to the underperformance of value stocks for the year. For similar reasons, the Russell 1000 Value Index’s higher exposure to sub-prime mortgage originators contributed to its underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index over the Period. In contrast, cyclical sectors such as Industrials, Materials, and Energy continued to provide leadership and posted better returns over the Period.

For the sixth consecutive year, non-U.S. stocks performed better than U.S. stocks. In U.S. dollar terms, non-U.S. stocks as measured by the MSCI AC World ex U.S. Index returned 16.65% for the year versus the 5.62% return for the Stock Index. The continuing valuation of the dollar partially contributed to the advance of non-U.S. stocks and emerging markets around the world provided the strongest leadership, particularly from the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China). Developed foreign markets gained 11.17%, almost twice the gain of the U.S. market, and Emerging Markets had a spectacular year, returning 39.39% for the year.

The sub-prime debt crisis and the subsequent tightening of liquidity significantly impacted the bond market, especially high yield bonds. The Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee continued with its interest rate tightening campaign throughout the year. The key Fed Funds Rate ended the year at 4.25%. Bond investors benefited from a broadly based flight to quality as high quality investment grade bonds, led by U.S. Treasury issues, returned more than domestic equities for the Period. The broad market index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.96% for the year, more than the Stock Index return of 5.62% for the same period. The high yield bond segment of the bond market was marked by mortgage and sub-prime damages, its return substantially trailing the high credit quality U.S. Treasury securities. For the year, the Lehman Brothers U.S. High Yield index returned 1.83% versus the Lehman Brothers Long-term Treasury Index’s 9.81% return.

We appreciate our loyal shareholders’ business and your ongoing support. Thank you for your continued confidence in Wilshire Associates.

 

Sincerely,

Lawrence E. Davanzo, President

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION**

(As of December 31, 2007)

LOGO

The 2010 Aggressive Fund’s investment objective is to provide high total return until its target retirement date. Thereafter, the 2010 Aggressive Fund’s objective will be to seek high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation. The investment objective of the 2010 Aggressive Fund may be changed without a shareholder vote. The chart above provides an illustrative allocation among the underlying funds and the actual allocations may vary from time to time.

The 2010 Aggressive Fund returned 4.35% for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”). The Fund benefited from its equity exposures to both domestic and international stocks as the global equity market’s return was strong for the Period. The Fund’s investment in fixed income provided steady and stable income returns to investors. Over the Period, the Fund maintained approximately 65% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of domestic and international equities while investing the remaining 35% of its assets in high credit-quality intermediate-term and short-term bonds.

The 2010 Aggressive Fund attempts to achieve its objective by investing in other funds. You may invest in the underlying funds directly. By investing in the underlying funds indirectly through the 2010 Aggressive Fund, you will incur not only the expenses of the underlying funds, but also the expenses of the 2010 Aggressive Fund. The 2010 Aggressive Fund is subject to the risks of the underlying funds it holds.

(1) The Blended Benchmark is based on the Fund’s target allocation and is comprised of 70% S&P 500 Index, 13% Russell 2000 Growth Index, 15% MSCI EAFE Index and 2% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is an index comprised of 500 U.S. stocks. The Russell 2000 Growth Index is an index comprised of the Russell 2000 Growth securities with a greater-than-average growth orientation. The MSCI EAFE Index is a capitalization weighted measure of stock markets in Europe, Australia and the Far East. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted index of investment grade fixed-rated debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities with a maturity of one year or more. All indices are unmanaged. An individual cannot invest directly in any index. Index performance is presented for general comparative purposes.

Since inception, certain fees and expenses were waived and reimbursed. For the year ended December 31, 2007, fees totaling 5.17% of average net assets were waived and reimbursed. Without such waivers and reimbursements, total returns would have been lower.

2045 MODERATE FUND

COMMENTARY - (Continued)

   LOGO

 

PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION**

(As of December 31, 2007)

LOGO

The 2045 Moderate Fund’s investment objective is to provide high total return until its target retirement date. Thereafter, the 2045 Moderate Fund’s objective will be to seek high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation. The investment objective of the 2045 Moderate Fund may be changed without a shareholder vote. The chart above provides an illustrative allocation among the underlying funds and the actual allocations may vary from time to time.

The 2045 Moderate Fund returned 3.95% for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Period”). The Fund benefited from its equity exposures to both domestic and international stocks as the global equity market’s return was strong for the Period. Given the long invesment horizon of the Fund’s investors, the Fund’s primary investment objective is capital appreciation. Over the Period, the Fund maintained consistent equity exposures to both domestic and international equities. It is expected, however, that as the Fund moves closer to its targeted retirement or maturity date its portfolio will gradually become less equity-oriented and more balanced with higher fixed income allocations.

The 2045 Moderate Fund attempts to achieve its objective by investing in other funds. You may invest in the underlying funds directly. By investing in the underlying funds indirectly through the 2045 Moderate Fund, you will incur not only the expenses of the underlying funds, but also the expenses of the 2045 Moderate Fund. The 2045 Moderate Fund is subject to the risks of the underlying funds it holds.

 

** Based on percent of Fund’s total long-term investments’ market value.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES

For the Six Month Period Ended December 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for investment advisory, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

This table illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses, after any applicable fee waivers, that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return for the period, the “Expense Ratio” column shows the period’s annualized expense ratio, and the “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund at the beginning of the period.

You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Fund in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumed rate of return. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in making comparisons to other mutual funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess your Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust has no such charges or fees, but they may be present in other funds to which you compare this data. Therefore, the hypothetical portions of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds.

WILSHIRE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007

   LOGO

 

1. Organization.

The Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end, diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), which offers units of beneficial ownership (shares) in 14 separate investment portfolios. The portfolios presented in these financial statements are: 2010 Aggressive Fund, 2010 Moderate Fund, 2010 Conservative Fund, 2015 Moderate Fund, 2025 Moderate Fund, 2035 Moderate Fund and 2045 Moderate Fund (collectively the “Funds”, each a “Fund” of the Trust). The financial statements for the (“Underlying Funds”) are included in a separate annual report. The Funds operate under a fund of funds structure and invest substantially all of their assets in the Underlying Funds according to an asset allocation strategy designed for investors planning to retire in certain target years. Sponsorship of the Trust (formerly Horace Mann Mutual Funds) transferred from The Horace Mann Companies to Wilshire Associates Incorporated (the “Adviser”) on September 30, 2004. Shares are presently offered to Horace Mann Life Insurance Company (“HMLIC”) Separate Account, the HMLIC 401(k) Separate Account and Great American Life Insurance Company.

Funds’ Investment Objectives:

High total return until each respective Fund’s target retirement date. Thereafter, high current income and, as a secondary objective, capital appreciation.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies.

Security Valuation — Investments by the Funds in Underlying Funds are valued at their net asset values as reported by the Underlying Funds.

Security transactions and investment income — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income and realized gain distributions from Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income accrues daily. Securities gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Distributions to shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Fund’s net realized capital gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward, are distributed to shareholders annually. Additional distributions of net investment income and capital gains may be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors in order to avoid the application of a 4% non-deductible federal excise tax.

Expense policy — Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among all Funds daily in relation to the net assets of each Fund or another reasonable basis. Expenses which are attributable to Trust and the Wilshire Mutual Funds are allocated across the Trust and the Wilshire Mutual Funds based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis.

Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates.

The Trust employs the Adviser to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds and to continuously review, oversee and administer the Funds’ investment programs.

WILSHIRE VARIABLE INSURANCE TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

December 31, 2007

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Adviser provided services and assumed expenses pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, for which it received a fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates:

 

Fund

   Rate on Funds
Average Net Assets
 

2010 Aggressive Fund

   0.35 %

2010 Moderate Fund

   0.35 %

2010 Conservative Fund

   0.35 %

2015 Moderate Fund

   0.35 %

2025 Moderate Fund

   0.35 %

2035 Moderate Fund

   0.35 %

2045 Moderate Fund

   0.35 %

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses through April 30, 2009, so that the annual operating expenses for each Fund for this period will not exceed 0.50% (exclusive of underlying fund fees) (the “Expense Limitation”). Each Fund, for a period not to exceed three years from commencement of operations, will repay the Adviser any expenses in excess of the Expense Limitation, provided the Fund is able to effect such reimbursement and remain in compliance with the Expense Limitation.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Adviser waived fees and reimbursed expenses in the amounts listed below.

 

Fund

   Fees Waived/Reimbursed

2010 Aggressive Fund

   $ 42,825

2010 Moderate Fund Fund

     41,652

2010 Conservative Fund

     42,268

2025 Moderate Fund

     40,544

2035 Moderate Fund

     42,924

2045 Moderate Fund

     43,073

At December 31, 2007, the balance of recoupable expenses along with the year of expiration for the Funds are as follows:

 

Fund

   2009    2010    Total

2010 Aggressive Fund

   $ 25,270    $ 42,825    $ 68,095

2010 Moderate Fund Fund

     25,101      41,652      66,753

2010 Conservative Fund

     25,055      42,268      67,323

2015 Moderate Fund

     24,725      38,388      63,113

2025 Moderate Fund

     24,989      40,544      65,533

2035 Moderate Fund

     25,168      42,924      68,092

2045 Moderate Fund

     25,023      43,073      68,096

Because the Underlying Funds have varied fee and expense levels and the Funds may own different proportions of the Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund will vary.

PFPC Inc. (“PFPC”) serves as the Fund’s administrator, accounting agent and transfer agent pursuant to a services agreement. PFPC agreed to waive $20,419 of administration fees for the Funds for the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007.

The officers of the Trust receive remuneration from the Adviser. The Trust does not pay any remuneration to its officers with the exception of the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The Trust and the Wilshire Mutual Funds, Inc. each pay a portion of the CCO’s compensation and related out of pocket expenses, and the Adviser pays the remainder of such compensation. The Trust and the Wilshire Mutual Funds, Inc. together pay each independent trustee an annual Board member retainer of $10,000, an annual additional Board chair retainer of $16,000, a Board meeting fee of $1,500, a telephonic meeting fee of $1,000, an annual Committee member retainer of $4,000, an annual Committee chair retainer of $8,000 in lieu of the $4,000 Committee member retainer, and a Committee telephonic meeting fee of $500.

4. Distribution and Service Plan.

The Funds have adopted a plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act that provides for a fee of up to 0.25% of each Fund’s average net assets payable to PFPC Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) to reimburse the Distributor for distribution and other services provided to shareholders. Currently, there is no expectation that the Funds will incur expenses for distribution and shareholder services.

 

5. Security Transactions.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of Underlying Funds, were as follows:

 

Fund

   Purchases    Proceeds from Sales

2010 Aggressive Fund

   $ 970,458    $ 21,547

2010 Moderate Fund

     2,463,945      —

2035 Moderate Fund

     3,524,361      —  

2045 Moderate Fund

     1,858,468      129,030

The federal tax cost, unrealized appreciation and depreciation at December 31, 2007 for each Fund is as follows:

 

Fund

   Tax
Cost
   Unrealized
Appreciation
   Unrealized
Depreciation
    Net Unrealized

2010 Aggressive Fund

   $ 1,104,280    $ 3,600    $ (62,227 )   $ (58,627 )

2010 Moderate Fund

     2,769,521      6,458      (126,260 )     (119,802 )

2010 Conservative Fund

     1,053,113      1,823      (33,926 )     (32,103 )

2015 Moderate Fund

     8,889,315      34,054      (426,912 )     (392,858 )

2025 Moderate Fund

     7,232,619      30,403      (412,185 )     (381,782 )

2035 Moderate Fund

2045 Moderate Fund

     2,026,896      4,239      (186,347 )     (182,108 )

New accounting policy - In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of SFAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2007, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements. However, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements reported on the financial statements for a fiscal period.

 

6. Significant Shareholder Activity.

On December 31, 2007, the Funds had the following concentrations of shareholders holding 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Funds. These represent omnibus shareholder accounts.

7. Tax Information.

No provision for federal income taxes is required because each Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and distributes to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.

In July 2006, FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the year of determination. Adoption of FIN 48 is required no later than the last business day of the first financial statement reporting period for fiscal years beginning after June 29, 2007 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. The Funds file U.S. federal income tax returns and returns in various foreign jurisdictions in which it invests. While the statute of limitations remains open to examine the Funds’ U.S. federal income tax returns filed for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2006, no examinations are in progress or anticipated at this time. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Management has completed their analysis and has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have an impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

The tax character of distributions for the year ended December 31, 2007 was as follows:

 

Fund

   2007
Ordinary Income
   2007
Capital Gains

2010 Aggressive Fund

   $ 2,136    $ 1,558

2010 Moderate Fund

     4,810      1,882

2010 Conservative Fund

     11,789      1,523

2015 Moderate Fund

     48,155      15,230

2025 Moderate Fund

     24,482      13,916

2035 Moderate Fund

     1,326      4,173

2045 Moderate Fund

     —        4,702

At December 31, 2007, the components of distributable accumulated earnings/(losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

     2010
Aggressive
Fund
    2010
Moderate
Fund
    2010
Conservative
Fund
    2015
Moderate
Fund
    2025

Fund
    2035

    2045

Undistributed ordinary income/(loss)

   $ 38,214     $ 91,704     $ 38,337     $ 291,772     $ 252,536     $ 137,277     $ 80,808  

Accumulated capital gain/(loss)

     29,788       53,057       20,165       189,599       191,581       129,544       89,784  

Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation)

     (58,627 )     (119,802 )     (32,103 )     (392,858 )     (381,782 )     (264,902 )     (182,108 )
                                                        

Total accumulated income/(loss)

   $ 9,375     $ 24,959     $ 26,399     $ 88,513     $ 62,335     $ 1,919     $ (11,516 )
                                                        

The differences between book and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales on all Funds.

8. Reclassifications.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. The reclassifications relate primarily to the recharacterization of distributions from the Underlying Funds for tax purposes. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. As of December 31, 2007, the reclassifications were as follows:

 

Fund

   Increase
Undistributed Net
Investment Income
   Decrease
Realized
Capital Gains
 

2010 Aggressive Fund

   $ 20,814    $ (20,814 )

2010 Moderate Fund

     37,219      (37,219 )

2010 Conservative Fund

     9,372      (9,372 )

2015 Moderate Fund

     134,698      (134,698 )

2025 Moderate Fund

     144,622      (144,622 )

2035 Moderate Fund

     99,861      (99,861 )

2045 Moderate Fund

     63,205      (63,205 )

 

9. Indemnifications.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 2010 Aggressive Fund, 2010 Moderate Fund, 2010 Conservative Fund, 2015 Moderate Fund, 2025 Moderate Fund, 2035 Moderate Fund and 2045 Moderate Fund (seven series of Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2007, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of investments at December 31, 2007 by correspondence with the underlying funds’ transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

During the six months ended December 31, 2007, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) approved the renewal for an additional one-year term of the Trust’s advisory agreement with Wilshire Associates Incorporated (“Wilshire” or the “Adviser”) on behalf of the 2010 Aggressive Fund, 2010 Moderate Fund, 2010 Conservative Fund, 2015 Moderate Fund, 2025 Moderate Fund, 2035 Moderate Fund and 2045 Moderate Fund (the “Funds”). In the following text, the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Wilshire is referred to as the “Advisory Agreement.”

The information in this summary outlines the Board’s considerations associated with its approval of the Advisory Agreement. In connection with its deliberations regarding the approval of this relationship, the Board considered such information and factors as it believed to be relevant. As described below, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services performed by Wilshire under the existing arrangement; comparative fees and expense ratios as prepared by an independent provider (Lipper Inc.); the profits to be realized by Wilshire; the extent to which Wilshire realized economies of scale as a Fund grows; and whether any fall-out benefits are being realized by Wilshire. In considering these matters, the Board was advised with respect to relevant legal standards by independent counsel. In addition, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”) discussed the renewal of the Advisory Agreement with management and in private sessions with counsel at which no representatives of Wilshire were present.

As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, each approval was confirmed by the unanimous separate vote of the Independent Trustees. In deciding to approve renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as controlling and this summary does not describe all of the matters considered. However, the Board concluded that each of the various factors referred to below favored such approval.

Information Requested and Received

The Board, including all the Independent Trustees, considered the renewal of the Advisory Agreement pursuant to a process that concluded at the Board’s November 30, 2007 meeting, following an extensive process. At the direction of the Independent Trustees, counsel to the Trust and the Independent Trustees sent a memorandum to the Adviser requesting information regarding the Advisory Agreement to be provided to the Trustees in advance of a meeting of the Contract Review Committee (which is comprised of all the Independent Trustees) held on November 29, 2007. Based upon a review of such information, counsel sent a follow-up memorandum, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, requesting additional information to be considered at the November 29, 2007 meeting.

In response to the request for information, the Trustees received information from the Adviser as to each of the Funds describing: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided, (ii) the investment performance of each Fund as provided by Lipper Inc., (iii) the costs of services provided and estimated profits realized by the Adviser, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as a Fund grows, (v) whether fee levels reflect any possible economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, (vi) comparisons of services rendered and amounts paid to other registered investment companies as provided by Lipper Inc., and (vii) benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Fund. At the meeting, the Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from counsel describing their duties in connection with contract approvals, and they were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel.

Following the receipt of all information, the Contract Review Committee met on November 29, 2007 to discuss the information provided. Following its evaluation of all materials provided, the Contract Review Committee concluded that it was in the best interests of each Fund to renew the Advisory Agreement and recommended to the Board that such Advisory Agreement be renewed. At its meeting on November 30, 2007, the Board considered the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee along with the other factors that the Board deemed relevant.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the functions performed by the Adviser, noting that the Adviser performs administrative functions on behalf of the Funds. The Board considered the experience and skills of the senior management leading fund operations, the experience and skills of the personnel performing the functions under the Advisory Agreement and the resources made available to such personnel. The Board also considered the compliance programs established by the Adviser and the level of compliance maintained for the Funds. The Board concluded that appropriate resources were being provided under the agreement to administer the Trust’s affairs. The Board also reviewed the Adviser’s financial condition and considered the financial support provided by the

Adviser to the Funds pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement through April 30, 2009. Based upon all relevant factors, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund are satisfactory.

The Board reviewed information on the performance of each Fund for the one-year period, along with performance information of a relevant securities index. The Board noted that each Fund had underperformed its benchmark, but that each Fund was performing in line with the performance of the underlying funds.

Advisory Fees

The Board reviewed each Fund’s advisory fee and total expense ratio and reviewed information comparing the advisory fee and total expense ratio to those of a peer group of funds. The Board determined that the advisory fee and expense ratio for each Fund were within a competitive range. The Board noted that the Funds have relatively high contractual advisory fees in comparison to their Lipper peer groups, but recognized that the Adviser waives advisory fees and reimburses expenses for such Funds pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement. As to total expenses, the Board noted that total expenses are influenced by the small size of the complex. The Board concluded that the advisory fee for each Fund was reasonable and appropriate in amount.

Profitability to Wilshire and Economies of Scale

With respect to the profitability of the Advisory Agreement, the Board primarily considered the fee structure of the Advisory Agreement, including the costs of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. The Board concluded that the profits realized by the Adviser were reasonable in comparison with the costs of providing investment advisory services to the Funds. In addition, the Board considered the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reasonably reflect economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board reviewed each Fund’s asset size, each Fund’s expense ratio and Expense Limitation Agreement currently in place and whether the investment process produced economies of scale. The Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory fee reflects an appropriate recognition of any economies of scale.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Board considered the nature and amount of any benefits derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. The Board determined that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of these fall-out benefits.

Conclusion

Based upon all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable and that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each Fund.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

 

  (a) The registrant, as of the end of the period covered by this report, has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party.

 

  (c) There have been no amendments, during the period covered by this report, to a provision of the code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party, and that relates to any element of the code of ethics description.

 

  (d) The registrant has not granted any waivers, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party, that relates to one or more of the items set forth in paragraph (b) of this item’s instructions.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. Mr. Roger A. Formisano, the Registrant’s audit committee financial expert, is “independent” for purposes of Item 3 to Form N-CSR.

An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the audit committee or Board of Trustees.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Audit Fees

 

  (a) The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years are $181,200 for 2006 and $188,450 for 2007.

Audit-Related Fees

 

  (b) The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item are $0 for 2006 and $0 for 2007.

Tax Fees

 

  (c) The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, tax planning and tax training are $30,800 for 2006 and $32,050 for 2007. Such services consisted of quarterly diversification review, annual distribution review and tax return review.

All Other Fees

 

  (d) The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item are $0 for 2006 and $0 for 2007.

 

  (e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.

Pursuant to Registrant’s Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”), the Audit Committee is responsible for pre-approving any engagement of the principal accountant to provide non-prohibited services to the Registrant, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the principal accountant, to the extent required by Rule 2-01(c)(7) of Regulation S-X. The Chairman of the Audit Committee may grant pre-approval for engagements of less than $5,000. All such delegated pre-approvals will be presented to the Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting.

Pursuant to the Charter, the Audit Committee is also responsible for pre-approving any engagement of the principal accountant, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the principal accountant, to provide non-audit services to the Registrant’s investment adviser (or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant, to the extent required by Rule 2-01(c)(7) of Regulation S-X. The Chairman of the Audit Committee may grant pre-approval for engagements of less than $5,000. All such delegated pre-approvals will be presented to the Audit Committee no later than the next Audit Committee meeting.

 

  (e)(2) The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are as follows:

 


  (b) Not Applicable

 

  (c) 100%

 

  (d) Not Applicable

 

  (f) The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was (0%) zero percent.

 

  (g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant was $30,800 for 2006 and $32,050 for 2007.

 

  (h) The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

 

  (a) The registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of the report that includes the disclosure required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(b)) and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b)).

 

  (b) There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
