Dennis
Tito
Founder, CEO, Chairman of the Board
Wilshire Associates, Incorporated
Mr.
Tito, as one of the founders of Wilshire in 1972, was among the first
to apply then-new computing technologies to the investment industry.
He had previously applied such computing technologies at Jet Propulsion
Laboratory where he worked to help plot the trajectories for the Mariner
spacecraft missions to Mars. Mr. Tito is credited with helping to develop
the field of quantitative investment analysis that uses mathematical
tools to analyze market risks. Under his direction, Wilshire developed
the Wilshire 5000 index, the first asset/liability models for pension
funds, the first U.S. equity style metrics work, and many other "firsts"
as Wilshire grew and developed into a firm of over 300 employees serving
the investment needs of institutional clients around the world.
