"My internship at Wilshire has been an incredibly enriching experience, marked by flexibility and strong team support. I had the unique opportunity to attend every meeting with fund managers, providing invaluable real-time exposure and helping me build meaningful industry connections. My mentor was exceptionally organized and insightful which enabled me to quickly grasp various investment strategies and excel in detailed tasks like portfolio analysis in Excel. Everyone on the team, from senior members to peers, was supportive and eager to share their knowledge, fostering a collaborative learning environment. I loved the team culture at Wilshire - it was a truly collaborative and welcoming community."

"During my internship with Wilshire, I had the opportunity to work closely with my manager to develop code and procedures which were immediately useful. There was a good balance between getting feedback and being allowed to explore the data and workflow on my own. I gained exposure to systematic strategies, researched trading ideas and had great interactions in my relatively small team."
