Summary
Wilshire Large Company Growth generally stays toward the middle of the pack in any given year.
As of May 03, 2013, the fund has assets totaling almost $303.60 million invested in 294 different holdings. Its portfolio consists primarily of shares of large companies.
With more than 200 names in its portfolio, this fund is broadly diversified. But as of the end of 2010, tech names dominated the top spots. Notably, its four largest holdings were Apple, Google, Qualcomm, and Microsoft. Last year, Apple boosted the fund's performance, while Google and Microsoft, which finished the year in the red, hurt returns. Compared with its peers, the fund has a hefty allocation to mid-cap companies, which account for roughly a fifth of its portfolio. As of the end of January, the fund's trailing three-year returns beat those of the S&P 500 by 1.5 percentage points per year. The fund has returned 7.39 percent over the past year and 11.38 percent over the past three years.
Historically, this fund has been fairly range-bound. Because its portfolio is so diversified, it has generally--for better or worse--avoided the extremes in any given year. Since 2003, it hasn't finished a single year in the top 20 or bottom 20 percent of Morningstar's large-growth category. The fund has returned 4.38 percent over the past five years and 7.04 percent over the past decade.
