Wilshire Selects InfraHedge Managed Accounts Platform

Wilshire Funds Management has selected InfraHedge to provide an operational and risk solution for its managed accounts platform.

Wilshire, which advises on absolute returns strategies, was an early adopter of separately managed accounts for hedge fund investments. As the managed account market has evolved, Wilshire has refined its platform and selected InfraHedge, State Street’s managed account infrastructure provider, to provide the next generation of operational and risk infrastructure including daily position-level risk reporting.

“We chose InfraHedge for their deep managed account capability and a business model that is highly complementary to ours. We have been very impressed with the speed and discipline of InfraHedge’s implementation and the rigorous operating model that has been put in place for us,” says Helen Webb-Thompson, a managing director of Wilshire Associates who heads Wilshire Funds Management’s Operations and Risk Management Group. “Collaboration and customization are key to our Managed Account Platform and we felt that InfraHedge was the ideal fit for our model.”
