Dear Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report to all shareholders of the Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust. This report covers the period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 for the Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”).

Market Environment

U.S. Equity Market

The U.S. stock market, represented by the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index^SM, was up 21.94% for the second quarter of 2020 and down 3.30% for the first half of the year. Although parts of the country have begun to loosen Coronavirus-related restrictions, considerable uncertainty about 2020 economic growth prospects remain. At the time of this writing, more than a dozen states have paused or reversed their reopening plans. According to a report by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, expectations for real Gross Domestic Product growth this year are approximately -5%, with an unemployment rate remaining above 10%.

Four of the eleven major sectors were in positive territory for the first half of the year. The best performing sector was Information Technology (+15.17%), followed by Consumer Discretionary (+8.73%), Health Care (+2.33%), and Communication Services (+0.10%). For the first six months of the year, large capitalization stocks outperformed small caps with the Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Index^SM returning -2.29% versus -13.82% for the Wilshire U.S. Small-Cap Index^SM. Over the same period, growth again outperformed value, with the Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Growth Index^SM returning 5.49% versus -9.98% for the Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Value Index^SM.

International Equity Market

Equity markets outside of the U.S. also enjoyed a strong rebound during the quarter, although they did trail the U.S. market. Economic releases showed that the United Kingdom suffered its worst contraction in more than 40 years, as real Gross Domestic Product shrank -2.2% in the first quarter. Employment data shows that nearly a third of the U.K.’s workforce is on furlough, with the government supporting a majority of those employees’ wages. Although the 19-nation euro region is expected to shrink more than 8% this year, there are some early signs of a recovery. Survey data shows that economic sentiment, although still lower than earlier this year, is improving. Inflation statistics in Germany indicate that service providers have been successful in raising prices to counter Coronavirus-related restrictions. China’s economic recovery continued during the second quarter due, in part, to government support policies and the reopening of some overseas markets. The Purchasing Managers Index, monthly economic surveys of companies in which senior managers overseeing operations answer questions on business activity and its recent trends, indicates that manufacturing in China expanded for the fourth straight month after a dramatic slowdown. For the first half of the year, the MSCI ACWl ex USA Index and MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned -11.00% and -9.78%, respectively.

Bond Market

After a dramatic drop in the first quarter, the U.S. Treasury yield curve was little changed in the second quarter. Although the entire curve is below 1.50%, it is steeper than it has been in two years. The 10-year Treasury yield ended June at 0.66%, down just 0.04% from March. The Federal Open Market Committee met twice during the second quarter, as scheduled, with no change to their overnight rate, which they expect will be near zero until at least 2022. Chair Jerome Powell attempted to temper expectations by stating that, “The path forward for the economy is extraordinarily uncertain.” Alongside the rally in equities, the credit spread, a metric used to assess the credit quality of a debt security, tightened significantly during the quarter, as evidenced by the double-digit return within the high yield market. For the first half of the year, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S Aggregate Bond Index, Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit Index and Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index returned 6.14%, 4.82% and -3.80%, respectively.

Fund Performance Review

The Global Allocation Fund returned -5.36%, underperforming its custom benchmark by 2.44%. Although the Fund underperformed its benchmark in the first half of 2020, we believe the Fund is well positioned for future growth.

As always, we sincerely appreciate your continued support and confidence in Wilshire Associates.

Sincerely,

Jason Schwarz
President, Wilshire Variable Insurance Trust

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. Returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Annuity contract fees are not reflected in returns. If these fees were included, returns would be lower. Recent performance can be found at your particular insurance company.

During the ten years ended June 30, 2020, certain fees and expenses were reduced or reimbursed. Without fee reductions and expense reimbursements, total returns would have been lower. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the investment adviser did not reduce its fees or reimburse expenses.

The Fund’s total expense ratio per the prospectus dated 4/30/2020 was 1.39% including Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

PORTFOLIO SECTOR WEIGHTING

(As of June 30, 2020)

The Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index^SM returned -3.30% for the first half of the year. Global financial markets rallied during the second quarter, as investor sentiment rose on the coattails of swift and substantial government stimulus and intervention. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was down -5.0% during the first quarter of the year as restricted activity due to the Coronavirus (COVID) weighed heavily on economic growth. The main detractor was personal consumption, the largest component of GDP, which was down -6.8% for the first quarter. Business spending was down -6.4% on lower fixed investment and the largest inventory drawdown since 2009. Economists were forecasting a much larger, double-digit fall in real GDP for the second quarter of the year.

Outside of the United States, equities performance lagged its U.S. counterpart, with the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index returning -11.00% for the first half of the year. The global economic outlook remained very gloomy and uncertain, particularly given the overwhelmingly negative narrative of higher COVID rates. The International Monetary Fund estimates a real annual global GDP growth rate of approximately -5.0% in 2020, with U.S. GDP growth expected to be -8.0%.

Sector returns for the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index were mixed for the first half of the year. Information Technology (+15.17%), Consumer Discretionary (+8.73%), and Health Care (+2.33%) were the best performing sectors while Energy (-35.89%) and Financials (-24.40%) were the laggards. For the first six months of the year, large capitalization stocks outperformed small capitalization stocks with the Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Index^SM returning -2.29% versus -13.82% for the Wilshire U.S. Small-Cap Index^SM. Growth stocks again led value equities during the six-month period, with the Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Growth Index^SM returning 5.49% versus -9.98% for the Wilshire U.S. Large-Cap Value Index^SM.

Real estate securities were up during the second quarter in both the U.S. and abroad but still down for the first half of the year, with the Wilshire US Real Estate Securities and Wilshire Global Real Estate Securities Index returning -17.89% and -20.30%, respectively. The second quarter rebound was broad-based, including sectors that have struggled such as regional shopping malls and shopping centers. Commodity results were positive for the second quarter as crude oil jumped 91.7% to $39.27 per barrel. Natural gas prices were up 6.8%, ending the first half of the year at $1.75 per million British Thermal Units. Midstream Energy was among the best performing market segments, up 32.6% for the second quarter. Finally, gold prices were up 13.7%, the seventh straight positive quarter, and finished at approximately $1,801 per troy ounce.

The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.14% for the first half of the year. Fixed income markets responded positively to the recent targeted stimulus provided by both the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) and the Federal Government. The Fed’s swift actions to cut the Fed Funds Target Rate and provide support to fixed income markets through outright purchases of assets, and by supporting short-term funding markets through the Commercial Paper Funding Facility, successfully led to a decline in risk and recovery in asset prices across fixed income markets. However, the Fed’s actions in combination with pessimistic economic market expectations has caused longer-term nominal interest rates to remain very low, despite the rise in inflation expectations. This has resulted in extremely low real yields, as the US Real 10 year yield sits at nearly -0.90%. Credit spreads have narrowed in both investment grade and high yield markets during the second quarter, but still are at an elevated level compared to that at the end of last year. The Bloomberg Barclays Long Term Treasury Index and the Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index returned 21.20% and 4.82%, respectively, for the first six month of the year.

The Wilshire VIT Global Allocation Fund returned -5.36% in first half of the year, underperforming the Custom Benchmark return of -2.92% by -2.44%. Underperformance was largely driven by relative underperformance from the Wilshire Large Company Value Portfolio and the Wilshire Income Opportunities Fund. As well overweight exposure to value-stock and international equities detracted from relative performance. Conversely, strong performance from the Wilshire International Equity Fund and Wilshire Large Company Growth Portfolio contributed to relative performance.

Despite recent relative underperformance, we believe the Fund is well positioned going into second half of the year as the market deals with ongoing pandemic, macroeconomic and geopolitical issues.

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for investment advisory services, 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 the 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 and held for the entire period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020.

The table below illustrates the Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses, after any applicable fee reductions, 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 the Fund in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare the 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess the 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, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently offers units of beneficial interest (shares) in the Wilshire Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure and at this time invests substantially all of its assets in shares of certain underlying affiliated funds (the “Affiliated Funds”), which are mutual funds advised by Wilshire Associates Incorporated (the “Adviser”), and in shares of unaffiliated investment companies. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased by insurance company separate accounts for certain variable insurance contracts and by plan sponsors of qualified retirement plans.

The investment objective of the Fund is to realize a high long-term total rate of return consistent with prudent investment risks. Total rate of return consists of current income, which includes dividends, interest, discount accruals and capital appreciation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

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, and if there are no such sales, the most recent bid quotation is used. Investments representing shares of other open-end investment companies, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by such companies. Values of debt securities are generally reported at the last sales price if the security is actively traded. If a debt security is not actively traded, it is typically valued by an

15

independent pricing agent which employs methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. The independent pricing agent often utilizes proprietary models that are subjective and require the use of judgment and the application of various assumptions including, but not limited to, interest rates, repayment speeds, and default rate assumptions. Debt securities that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at prices supplied by the Fund’s pricing agent for such securities, if available, and otherwise are valued at amortized cost if the Pricing Committee concludes it approximates fair value. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued according to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) or are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee, whose members include at least two representatives of the Adviser, one of whom is an officer of the Trust, or the Trust’s Valuation Committee. Securities whose market value using the procedures outlined above do 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 in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures. 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 the Fund is carrying the security. Investments in open-end registered investment companies are valued at the end of day NAV per share as reported by the underlying funds.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

16

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no significant changes to the Fund’s fair value methodologies.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

The Fund held a common stock that was measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) totaling $0. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments, including certain disclosures related to significant inputs used in valuing Level 3 investments, is only presented when the Fund has over 1% of Level 3 investments.

Investment transactions and investment income — Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividends, including distributions paid by Affiliated Funds and unaffiliated investment companies, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The actual tax character of income, realized gains and return of capital distributions received from Affiliated Funds and unaffiliated investment companies may not be known until after the end of the fiscal year, at which time appropriate adjustments are recorded. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are reclassed as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain.

Expense policy — Expenses that are attributable to both the Fund and the Wilshire Mutual Funds, Inc. (an affiliated investment company) are allocated across the Fund and the Wilshire Mutual Funds, Inc. based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis.

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 net realized capital gains may be made at the discretion of the Board.

17

3. Investment Advisory and Other Services.

The Trust employs the Adviser to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund and to continuously review, oversee and administer the Fund’s investment program.

Under an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays to the Adviser a fee at the annual rate of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the first $1 billion and 0.45% on the average daily net assets greater than $1 billion of the Fund, excluding assets invested in the Affiliated Funds.

The Adviser has entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Fund requiring it to reduce its management fee and/or reimburse expenses to limit annual operating expenses (excluding taxes, brokerage expenses, dividend expenses on short securities, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to 0.50% of average daily net assets of the Fund. The agreement to limit expenses continues through at least April 30, 2021. The Adviser may recoup the amount of any management fee reductions or expense reimbursements within three years after the day on which the fee reduction or expense reimbursement occurred if the recoupment does not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the expense limitation that was in place at the time of the fee reduction or expense reimbursement. There were no waivers or recoupments during six months ended June 30, 2020. There are no outstanding amounts that are subject to recoupment as of June 30, 2020.

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

U.S. Bank N.A. serves as the Trust’s custodian. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, (the “Administrator”) serves as the Company’s administrator, accounting agent and also serves as the Trust’s transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent effective June 8, 2020. Compass Distributors, LLC, serves as the Company’s principal underwriter. Certain officers and an interested Trustee of the Trust may also be officers or employees of the Adviser, Administrator, or their affiliates. They receive no fees for serving as officers or as an interested Trustee of the Trust.

DST Systems, Inc. served as the Company’s transfer agent until June 8, 2020.

Officers and Trustees’ expenses — Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with and receive remuneration from the Adviser or the Administrator. The Trust does not pay any remuneration to its officers. The Fund and Wilshire Mutual Funds, Inc. together pay each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $48,000, an annual additional retainer for each Committee chair of $12,000 and an annual additional retainer to the Board chair of $12,000. In addition, each Independent Trustee is compensated for Board and

18

Committee meeting attendance in accordance with the following schedule: an in-person Board meeting fee of $6,000 for Independent Trustees and $7,000 for the Board chair; a telephonic Board meeting fee of $3,000 for Independent Trustees and $3,500 for the Board chair, and a telephonic Committee meeting fee of $500.

4. Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan.

The Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 distribution and shareholder services plan (the “Distribution Plan”). Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Distributor receives from the Fund a distribution and shareholder services fee computed at the annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets.

5. Security Transactions.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than affiliated investments and short-term investments, totaled $30,184,228 and $48,896,084, respectively.

Information regarding the Fund’s investments in the Affiliated Funds during the six months ended June 30, 2020 is provided in the table below:

19

The Fund currently seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing a portion of its assets in Wilshire International Equity Fund, Wilshire Income Opportunities Fund, Wilshire Large Company Growth Portfolio, Wilshire Large Company Value Portfolio, Wilshire Small Company Growth Portfolio, and Wilshire Small Company Value Portfolio (the “Affiliated Funds”), registered open-end management investment companies. The Fund may redeem its investments from the Affiliated Funds at any time if the Adviser determines that it is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders to do so. The performance of the Fund may be directly affected by the performance of the Affiliated Funds. As of June 30, 2020, the percentage of net assets invested in the Affiliated Funds was 89.4%. The Wilshire International Equity Fund represents 28.2% of the Fund’s net assets as of July 31, 2020. The latest shareholder report for the Wilshire Funds can be found at www.sec.gov.

6. Significant Shareholders.

On June 30, 2020, 99% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, representing 1 omnibus shareholder, were held in the separate account of Horace Mann Life Insurance Co. through which shares of the Fund are sold.

7. Tax Information.

No provision for federal income taxes is required because the Fund has qualified, and intends to continue to qualify, 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 net investment income and net realized capital gains. Federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and

20

realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial reporting records are not adjusted for temporary differences. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably likely that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or expenses will materially change in the next twelve months. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely than-not” (i.e., greater than 50%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Fund did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities of returns filed within the past three years and on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

The federal tax cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at December 31, 2019 for the Fund is as follows:

The difference between the book and tax-basis cost of portfolio investments for the Fund is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2019 there was no reclassification made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the Fund as a result of book to tax differences.

At December 31, 2019, the components of accumulated deficit on a tax basis were as follows:

8. Indemnifications.

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

9. Contingencies.

As a part of the merger of the Equity Fund and Socially Responsible Fund into the Fund on September 22, 2014, the Fund assumed all of the liabilities of the Equity Fund and Socially Responsible Fund, including, without limitation, contingencies relating to lawsuits. The Equity Fund and Socially Responsible Fund were named as defendants and putative members of a proposed defendant class of shareholders in lawsuits filed on December 7, 2010 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, and on March 6, 2012 in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, in connection with Tribune Company’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. The 2010 lawsuit was brought by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of the Tribune Company and the 2012 lawsuit was brought by Deutsche Bank, as trustee for senior noteholders of Tribune Company. Both lawsuits relate to a leveraged buyout transaction by which Tribune Company converted to a privately-held company in 2007 less than a year prior to Tribune Company’s bankruptcy filing. The putative defendant class is comprised of beneficial owners of shares of Tribune Company who meet certain jurisdictional requirements and received proceeds of the leveraged buyout. The plaintiffs seek to recover those proceeds, together with interest and attorneys’ fees and expenses, as fraudulent transfers under the Bankruptcy Act or various state laws. In 2013, the Complaint in the 2012 lawsuit was dismissed and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals recently affirmed the dismissal and the plaintiffs filed a petition for review by the Supreme Court. In April 2018, the Supreme Court deferred consideration of the petition to allow the Second Circuit to consider whether it would be appropriate to vacate the judgment in light of a 2018 Supreme Court decision in another case. In May 2018, the Second Circuit recalled its judgment mandate

22

in anticipation of further panel review. On December 19, 2019, the Second Circuit issued an amended opinion that again affirmed the dismissal. The Adviser does not expect the Fund to be materially impacted by the lawsuits.

As it relates to the Contingency, the Second Circuit in the Tribune proceeding denied a motion for a rehearing filed by the plaintiff on February 6, 2020. On February 13, 2020, the Second Circuit in the Deutsche Bank case issued a judgment mandate affirming the district court’s dismissal. The plaintiffs may now petition the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari if they desire.

10. COVID-19

The global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) has disrupted global economic markets and adversely affected individual companies and investment products. The prolonged economic impact of COVID-19 is uncertain. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn impact the value of the Fund’s investments.

11. Subsequent Event Evaluation.

The Fund has evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures and/or adjustments were required to these financial statements.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), and the Board has designated Wilshire Associates Incorporated (“Wilshire”) as Program administrator. The Program is designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk (the risk that the Fund would be unable to meet requests to redeem shares of the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund). Wilshire has designated the Liquidity Risk Committee (the “Committee”) composed of personnel from multiple departments within Wilshire that is responsible for the implementation and ongoing administration of the Program, which includes assessing the Fund’s liquidity risk. Under the Program, every investment held by the Fund is classified into one of four liquidity categories based on calculations of the investment’s ability to be sold during designated timeframes in current market conditions.

At the Board’s May 2020 meeting, as required by the Program and the Liquidity Rule, the Committee provided the Board with an annual written report (the “Report”) addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation during the period from May 20, 2019 through March 31, 2020 (the “Reporting Period”). During the Reporting Period, the Fund was predominantly (generally, 100%) invested in highly liquid investments (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within three business days or less). As a result, the Fund has not adopted a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum” as defined in the Liquidity Rule. During the Reporting Period, the Fund did not approach the 15% limit imposed by the Liquidity Rule on holdings in illiquid investments (investments that cannot be converted to cash in seven days or less without the sale of the investment materially affecting the market value of the investment). The Fund did not experience any issues meeting investor redemptions at any time during the Reporting Period. In the Report, the Committed concluded that, given the investor base of the Fund, the diversified subadvisers of the affiliated funds in which the Fund invests and the highly liquid nature of the Fund’s strategy, the Program and its implementing policy are suited to the needs of the Fund.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the funds designate 0.00% of ordinary distributions paid as interest-related dividends under the Internal Revenue Code Section 871 (k)(1)(c).

The percentage of taxable ordinary income distributions that are designated as short-term capital gain distributions under Internal Revenue Code Section 871 (k)(2)(c) is 0.61%.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund designates $20,151,105 as long-term capital gain distribution.

Of the ordinary income distribution made by the Fund, 0.00% represents the amount of the distribution which will qualify for the dividends received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
