DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

We are pleased to present this semi-annual report to all shareholders of the
WilshireTarget Funds, Inc. (the "Fund"). This report covers the six months ended
February 28,1999 for both classes of shares of the Fund's Portfolios (Investment
Class and Institutional Class). The Portfolios include Large Company Growth,
Large Company Value, Small Company Growth, Small Company Value, and the newest
of the Fund's portfolios, the Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio.

BROAD MARKET EXPOSURE THROUGH THE NEW WILSHIRE 5000 INDEX PORTFOLIO

Investors can now enjoy the benefits of an index fund with exposure to the broad
U.S. stock market with the recent launch of the first official Wilshire 5000
Index mutual fund. Since it was produced in 1974, the broad-based Wilshire 5000
Index (the "Index"), which now includes approximately 7,400 stocks, is widely
considered the best representation of the entire U.S. market. The Index measures
the performance of all U.S. domiciled stocks traded on the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ with readily available
price information. The Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio has been created using
sampling procedures to track the Index, and will ultimately hold between 2,000
to 3,000 securities, in comparison to the almost 7,400 securities included in
the Index. Recent market conditions highlight the benefits of investing in a
broad market index over the S&P 500 Index. Small cap stocks have underperformed
relative to large cap stocks (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) for the past
five years. Unlike the S&P 500 Index, the Index includes small and mid-cap
stocks as well as large cap stocks, which provides a more comprehensive profile
for the market as a whole.

THE STYLE APPROACH

In addition to the new Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio, the Fund offers focused
exposure to four distinct segments of the equity market represented by the Large
Company Growth, Large Company Value, Small Company Growth, and Small Company
Value Portfolios. Investors target different fundamental characteristics when
choosing to pursue a style approach. Consequently, each Portfolio owns only
securities which correspond with the characteristics most commonly associated
with that style. Generally, the Growth portfolios focus on companies whose
financial characteristics include above average earnings growth, sales growth,
and return on equity. Conversely, the Value portfolios seek companies with above
average earnings yield, dividend yield, and book-to-price ratios. Stocks are
purchased only if they meet the specific growth or value criteria defined for
the Portfolio.

In order to maintain proper style exposure in each Portfolio, changes are made
over time as companies characteristics change. Stocks are sold if they no longer
meet the criteria of that particular Portfolio. For example, value stocks can
lose their attractiveness, from a value perspective, after a strong relative
price advance. Consequently, the Portfolios require constant vigilance and
monitoring to make sure that each Portfolio has the most appropriate stocks
given its style orientation.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

During the six month period ended February 28, 1999, we saw a continuation of
the trend where large company stocks outperformed small company stocks. The
Wilshire 5000 Index, comprised of all U.S. equity securities, advanced 29.34%
for the six months ended February 28, 1999. Large companies, as measured by the
Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Price Index, rose 30.32%, and small
companies, as measured by the Wilshire Next 1750 Index, climbed 17.58% during
this time period.


                                       1
<PAGE>

For these six months, the equity markets have continued to generate positive
returns for investors, and since our management approach entails maintaining a
fully invested posture at all times, investors have received full benefit of the
market advance. We believe that for individuals as well as for large corporate
pension plans, the decision as to what percentage of investment assets should be
allocated to equities is a strategic decision, based on a long-term view of the
capital markets as well as the individual's/corporation's risk tolerance. By
providing funds which are virtually fully invested, we allow our shareholders to
efficiently implement these decisions.

We would also like to encourage all shareholders to visit us on the web at
www.wilfunds.com. In addition to finding daily NAVs and quarterly fact sheets on
all our portfolios, you can download a prospectus and application right off the
web.

Sincerely,


/s/ Thomas D. Stevens

President and Chairman of the Board

LARGE COMPANY GROWTH PORTFOLIO
FUND COMMENTARY

The Large Company Growth Portfolio's Investment Class Shares returned 37.48% and
Institutional Class Shares returned 37.59% during the six months ended February
28, 1999 (the "period"). Interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in the last
quarter of 1998 helped push large cap growth stocks to new highs. During the
period, the Technology and Consumer Non-Durables sectors, which totaled over 72%
of the Portfolio, drove performance. The two most heavily weighted stocks in the
Portfolio, Microsoft Corporation and Intel Corporation, returned 57% and 69%,
respectively, over the period. Other technology stocks had remarkable returns:
Oracle Systems was up 180%, Sun Microsystems was up 146%, and EMC Corp was up
130%, during the period. The Consumer Non-Durables sector also experienced major
gains with pharmaceutical companies such as Merck & Company, Pfizer
Incorporated, and Johnson & Johnson making significant contributions to the
Portfolio. While performance across all sectors was positive, there were some
notable exceptions among the Consumer Non-Durables including Coca Cola Company,
which was down 1.5%, Campbell Soup, which was down nearly 20%, and Mattel
Incorporated, which was down 27%, during the period.

The Portfolio is comprised of companies which have above average earnings, sales
growth histories and fit a classic high quality growth profile. It is typical to
find securities in this Portfolio that have enjoyed long and successful growth
trends. In addition, these companies typically have higher than average returns
on equity or levels of profitability.

LARGE COMPANY VALUE PORTFOLIO
FUND COMMENTARY

The Large Company Value Portfolio's Investment Class Shares returned 16.91% and
Institutional Class Shares returned 17.01% during the six months ended February
28, 1999 (the "period"). Large company stocks have continued to outperform
small, benefiting the large value category. However, value stocks continued to
trail growth stocks within the large cap universe. Finance, Technology, and
Consumer Durables were the strongest performing sectors during the period, and
comprised over half of the Portfolio's weighting. Top performers in these
sectors include Chase Manhattan Corporation, IBM, and Ford Motor Company which
were up 54%, 48% and 35%, respectively, during the period. All other sectors had
positive returns with the exception of Utilities, where the majority of holdings
in the Portfolio finished negatively during the period. Some of the larger
utility stocks in the Portfolio, including Duke Power (down 7% during the
period), Southern Company (down 9% during the period), and PG&E (down 1% during
the period), were also among the more heavily weighted stocks in the Portfolio,
thus negatively impacting performance. Two of the Portfolio's former holdings,
Bell Atlantic and Amoco, were dropped as of the September rebalance. Both had
become less attractive from a relative value perspective as a result of price
performance due in part to the mergers and acquisitions in which the companies
had been involved.

Fundamentals that are used for selection of stocks in this Portfolio are price
to earnings ratio, price to book ratio and dividend yield. A high quality
profile is required which eliminates companies that are undergoing adverse
financial pressures. Companies are monitored using a variety of relative value
criteria, the goal being to capture the most attractive value opportunities
available. Buy and sell decisions are based on the relative evaluation of
fundamentals. As a security's fundamentals deteriorate or improve relative to
other large cap securities, it will be bought or sold.

SMALL COMPANY GROWTH PORTFOLIO
FUND COMMENTARY

The Small Company Growth Portfolio's Investment Class Shares returned 13.91%
and Institutional Class Shares returned 13.98% during the period ended
February 28, 1999 (the "period"). Performance in the last few months of 1998 
was relatively strong, whereas the first months of 1999 brought performance 
down for the period. The traditional growth sectors, Consumer Non-Durables, 
Materials and Services, and Technology, which comprised 70% of the total 
Portfolio over the period, bolstered performance. Although the Finance sector 
is not typically thought of as a growth category, the current economic 
environment has created and sustained some high powered growth companies in 
this sector. Over the period Finance companies had an average weight of 
almost 11% of the Portfolio, with some of the relatively heavily weighted 
holdings, such as Reinsurance Group (up 29% during the period), Executive 
Risk Incorporated (up 95% during the period), and UICI (up 51% during the 
period), contributing to the strong returns of the Portfolio. There was 
weakness in the small growth Utilities and Energy stocks; however, minimal 
weightings in both sectors worked to the advantage of the Portfolio.

For investment decisions, the Portfolio uses the same fundamental criteria as
its large cap partner, although with less emphasis on a long history of
established growth. Specifically, the Portfolio's investment adviser seeks to
identify high quality growth companies by focusing on earnings and sales growth
as well as dividend payout and return on equity. By focusing on earnings and
return on equity in the small cap arena, the Portfolio seeks to invest in growth
companies with a proven track record.

SMALL COMPANY VALUE PORTFOLIO
FUND COMMENTARY

The Small Company Value Portfolio's Investment Class Shares returned 0.89% and
Institutional Class Shares returned 0.96% during the six-month period ended
February 28, 1999 (the "period"). All sectors contributed to the flat
performance over the period. Although the most heavily weighted sectors, Finance
(25% of the Portfolio) and Consumer Non-Durables (17% of the Portfolio),
returned 4% and 8%, respectively, during the period these positive gains were
counterbalanced by negative and flat returns in other relatively heavily
weighted sectors such as Materials & Services and Utilities. The biggest
individual contributors to the Portfolio were First Brand Corporation (up 96%
during the period) and Coors Adolph Company (up 45% during the period). The
worst performing sectors were Energy and Technology, which were down 15% and
12%, respectively, during the period. However, these sectors also had the lowest
relative weightings over the period in the Portfolio of 1.9% and 2.5%,
respectively, thus only having a slight impact on performance. Recent additions
to the Portfolio include Kelly Services and Washington Federal.

The Portfolio continues to invest in stocks clearly associated with a value
orientation. These sectors typically include companies which are undervalued
relative to their earnings and book value. They also have a relatively high
dividend yield, which means simply that their price is lower relative to the
size of the dividend. Dividend yields for small companies are on average less
than those for large companies. Demand for value stocks is driven by two types
of investors - those investors seeking higher current income coming from the
dividend and those who feel the stock is undervalued relative to its earnings
potential. The Portfolio buys those stocks which exhibit both of these
characteristics. When demand is low for these types of securities prices are
slow to rise. Low demand is typically a function of investor sentiment, meaning
that when investors feel like their current holdings become overvalued
they sell them and look for better investments.

WILSHIRE 5000 INDEX PORTFOLIO
FUND COMMENTARY

On January 29, 1999, Wilshire introduced the Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio.
Performance for the Portfolio from inception through February 28, 1999 was
- -3.40%, while performance for the Wilshire 5000 Index during the same period was
- -3.33%.

The Index is comprised of about 7,400 securities, and measures the performance
of all U.S. domiciled stocks traded on the NYSE, the AMEX and the NASDAQ with
readily available price information. The Portfolio currently holds around 1,600
securities and expects to ultimately hold between 2,000 to 3,000 securities
representing approximately 90% of the total market value of the Index. Using
statistical procedures, securities will be selected based on market
capitalization and industry weightings, giving the Portfolio the approximate
balance of the Index.

There is currently a large discrepancy in valuations between large cap and small
cap stocks, and many analysts predict that small caps will make a comeback in
1999. The Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio gives the investor exposure to both
large cap stocks and potentially lucrative small cap stocks through broad
diversification.

WILSHIRE TARGET FUNDS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.       Significant Accounting Policies.

         Wilshire Target Funds, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end
investment company, and was incorporated under Maryland law on July 30, 1992.
The Fund operates as a series company and presently offers five series: Large
Company Growth Portfolio, Large Company Value Portfolio, Small Company Growth
Portfolio, Small Company Value Portfolio and Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio (the
"Portfolios"). The Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio commenced operations on January
29, 1999. The Fund accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and
operations of each Portfolio.

Each of the Portfolios offers Investment and Institutional Class shares (the
"shares"), each of which has equal rights as to Class and voting privileges. The
Investment Class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its Service and
Distribution Plan. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and
losses and the common expenses of each Portfolio are allocated on a pro-rata
basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total
net assets of the Portfolio. Each class of shares differs in its respective
service and distribution expenses.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolios in the
preparation of their financial statements.

PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Each Portfolio's investment securities are valued at the
last sale price on the securities exchange or national securities market on
which such securities primarily are traded. Securities not listed on an exchange
or national securities market, or securities in which there were no
transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices.
Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Short-term investments are
carried at amortized cost, which approximates value. Any securities or other
assets for which recent market quotations are not readily available are valued
at fair value as determined pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of
Directors.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is
recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where
applicable, amortization of discount on investments is recognized on the accrual
basis.

EXPENSES: Operating expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are
charged to that class' operations. Expenses of the Portfolios not directly
attributable to the operations of any class of shares are prorated among the
classes to which the expense relates based on the relative net assets of each
class of shares. Expenses and fees, including the advisory and administration
fees, are accrued daily and taken into account for the purpose of determining
the net asset value of each Portfolio's shares.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Distributions from net investment
income, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Portfolios' net realized
capital gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward, are
distributed to shareholders annually. Additional distributions of net investment
income and capital gains may be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors
in order to avoid the application of a 4% non-deductible Federal excise tax.
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of
income and gains on various investment securities held by the Portfolios, timing
differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each
Portfolio as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED)

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated
investment company by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and by,
among other things, distributing substantially all of its earnings to
shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

2.       Investment Advisory Fee, Administration Fee and Other Transactions.

         The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the
"Advisory Agreement") with Wilshire Associates Incorporated ("Wilshire"). Under
the terms of the Advisory Agreement dated July 11, 1996, the Fund has agreed to
pay Wilshire a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .25
of 1% of the value of each Portfolio's average daily net assets.

Wilshire voluntarily has undertaken to waive .15 of 1% of the average daily net
asset otherwise payable under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Small
Company Growth and Small Company Value Portfolios. The voluntary waiver may be
terminated at any time by Wilshire by notice to the Directors of the Fund.

With respect to the Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio, the Fund has entered into an
investment advisory agreement with Wilshire Associates Incorporated. Under the
terms of such Agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay Wilshire a fee computed
daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of .10% of the value of the Portfolio's
average daily net assets. However, Wilshire has agreed to waive advisory fees
and reimburse other expenses with respect to the extent necessary to maintain
the Portfolio's expense ratio (other than 12b-1 fees) at 0.35% of the
Portfolio's daily net assets until at least December 31, 1999.

For the six months ended February 28, 1999, Wilshire voluntarily waived fees as
follows:

First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("Investor Services Group"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First Data Corporation, serves as the Fund's
administrator pursuant to an administration agreement (the "Administration
Agreement"). Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Fund has
agreed to pay Investor Services Group a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at
the annual rate of .15 of 1% of the Fund's monthly average net assets up to
aggregate assets of $1 billion, .10 of 1% of the Fund's monthly average net
assets on the next $4 billion in aggregate assets, and .08 of 1% of the Fund's
monthly average net assets on the excess net assets. In addition, the Fund has
agreed to pay Investor Services Group an annual fee of $25,000 for each
Portfolio and $2,000 for each additional class.

In regards to the Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio, Investor Services Group has
agreed to waive certain administration, accounting and transfer agent fees for a
period of three years. For the six months ended February 28, 1999, Investor
Services Group voluntarily waived fees as follows:

The Northern Trust Company serves as the Fund's custodian. Each Portfolio
maintains a cash balance with its custodian and receives a reduction of its
custody fees and expenses for the amount of interest earned on such uninvested
cash balances. The amounts are presented as Custody earnings credits in the
Statements of Operations. Each Portfolio, with the exception of the Wilshire
5000 Index Portfolio, incurred overdraft charges. For the six months ended
February 28, 1999, the charges were as follows: Large Company Growth, $9,622;
Large Company Value, $424; Small Company Growth, $6,788; Small Company Value,
$8,120.

No officer, director or employee of Wilshire, Investor Services Group, or any
affiliate thereof, receives any compensation from the Fund for serving as
Director or officer of the Fund. The Fund pays each unaffiliated Director an
annual fee of $3,000 plus an additional $2,500 for each board meeting attended.
The Fund also reimburses expenses incurred by the unaffiliated Directors in
attending such meetings.

3.       Service and Distribution Plan.

         The Directors and shareholders of the Fund have adopted a service and
distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 adopted by the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the 1940 Act, with respect to the Investment Class
shares of each Portfolio. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses First Data
Distributors, Inc., the Fund's distributor, at an annual rate of up to .25 of 1%
of the value of the average daily net assets attributable to the Investment
Class shares of each Portfolio for certain shareholder services provided by
securities dealers or other financial intermediaries ("service fees") and for
certain distribution expenses for the purpose of financing any activity intended
to result in the sale of Investment Class shares. For the six months ended
February 28, 1999, the distribution and service fees expenses incurred for Large
Company Growth Portfolio, Large Company Value Portfolio, Small Company Growth
Portfolio, Small Company Value Portfolio and Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio were
 .15%, .17%, .16%, .13% and .18% of average net assets, respectively.
