Wilshire Associates, Incorporated

Dennis TitoMr. 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.

 

Mr. Tito supports and is actively involved in many charitable and civic causes including the building of a new cancer research lab at the University of California, Los Angeles. He formerly served as President of Commissioners for the Department of Water and Power of Los Angeles.
