Through Wilshire Compass Portal, private equity, private real estate and real asset investment management firms have a means to proactively reach out to Wilshire.

Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) September 11, 2013 -- Wilshire Associates Incorporated (Wilshire®), a diversified global financial services firm, today announced that private equity, private real estate and real asset investment managers may now submit qualitative and quantitative performance information through Wilshire Compass PortalSM, the firm’s online investment manager questionnaire and data collection platform. Wilshire Compass Portal offers investment managers increased exposure and marketing power by making their key performance and relevant qualitative information available to users of Wilshire CompassSM. Accessed daily by Wilshire Consulting, the firm’s investment outsourcing and consulting practice, and Wilshire’s manager research group, Wilshire Compass is at the foundation of much of the recommendations formulated at Wilshire Associates.

“Last year we launched Wilshire Compass Portal to streamline the process for traditional asset managers to submit asset class and style specific online questionnaires which are designed to allow consultants and plan sponsors to gain greater insight into their strategies, organization and personnel,” said Julia Bonafede, president, Wilshire Consulting. “The unique investment processes of private equity, private real estate and real assets necessitated adding questionnaires developed specifically for each of these fund types. While Wilshire has always researched alternative asset investment strategies on behalf of its institutional clients, this is an additional step to broaden our coverage,” she added.

“Prior to these enhancements, electronic due diligence questionnaires were sent periodically to investment managers in these categories. Now, private equity, private real estate and real asset investment management firms will be able to provide updates on product offerings, performance, and other firm/product details on a regular and more timely manner,” stated Charles Stunkard, managing director, Wilshire Associates. “Through Wilshire Compass Portal, private equity, private real estate and real asset investment management firms have a means to proactively reach out to Wilshire and ensure their information is accurate and up-to-date in the Wilshire Investment Database,” he noted.

Even more important, the information available on Wilshire Compass is accessed by many plan sponsors and institutional investors around the world as they seek to identify and invest with managers meeting their specific investment criteria. In fact, numerous fund sponsors, who are Wilshire clients, request that managers are registered and up-to-date in the Wilshire Investment Database as the first step in their due diligence process. Users of Wilshire Compass currently account for in excess of $1.5 Trillion in institutional assets (as of 12/01/2012).

The Wilshire Investment Database provides information on more than 35,000 investment products. To track institutional money managers, Wilshire employs both experienced manager research professionals and state-of-the-art technology including, Wilshire Compass Portal.
