Dear Shareholder,


We are pleased to present our annual report to all shareholders of the Wilshire
Target Funds, Inc. (the "Fund"). This report covers the seven month period ended
August 31, 1999 for the Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio, and the twelve month
period ended August 31, 1999 for Large Company Growth Portfolio, Large Company
Value Portfolio, Small Company Growth Portfolio, and Small Company Value
Portfolio. Each Portfolio offers two classes of shares - Investment Class shares
and Institutional Class shares. Performance figures for such classes of each
Portfolio are contained in the following pages.


BROAD MARKET EXPOSURE THROUGH THE WILSHIRE 5000 INDEX PORTFOLIO


This past fiscal year saw the launch of the new Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio
which experienced a rapid growth in assets since its launch on February 1, 1999.
As of August 31, 1999, the Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio had surpassed the $100
million mark demonstrating a strong trend with investors seeking broad U.S.
market exposure in their investment portfolios. The Wilshire 5000 Index is
considered the best representation of the entire market, measuring the
performance of all U.S. domiciled stocks traded on the NYSE, the AMEX, and
NASDAQ with readily available price information. The Index currently includes
approximately 7,000 stocks. Thus unlike the S&P 500 Index, the Wilshire 5000
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


The Fund also offers focused exposure to the four principal components 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 each
Portfolio.



Changes are made over time which insure that the Portfolios keep their proper
focus toward that style. Stocks are sold if their size clashes with the
Portfolio's objective or if their financial condition changes to the point where
they can no longer be considered either growth or value. As all investors know,
value stocks do not stay value stocks forever. Once a security makes a strong
relative advance, it can no longer be as attractive as it was before the move.
As a result, the Portfolios require constant vigilance and monitoring. Whether
the focus is growth, value, large or small, we see it as a top priority to be
sure each Portfolio always includes the most attractive list of names for that
style given that valuations are constantly changing.



The Fund allows the investor to select the style and size segment which best
fits his or her investment objective with the assurance that the Portfolio
selected will remain focused on the stated style.


                                       1

MARKET ENVIRONMENT


The equity markets have continued to generate positive returns for investors
over the period, and since our management approach entails maintaining a fully
invested posture at all times, investors have received full benefit of the
market advance. While both large and small capitalization stocks enjoyed
positive returns over the twelve month period ending August 31, 1999, we saw a
continuation of the trend where large company growth stocks showed the strongest
gains, and growth dominated value in both size categories. The Wilshire 5000
Index rose 38.87% for the twelve months ended August 31, 1999. Large companies,
as measured by the Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Price Index, rose
39.91%, while small companies, as measured by the Wilshire Next 1750 Index, rose
30.59% during this time period.


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 always 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 NAV's and quarterly fact sheets
on all our Portfolios, you can download a prospectus and application right off
the web.


Sincerely,

                            (As of August 31, 1999)



AVERAGE 5-YEAR SALES GROWTH ........................................  20.3%


AVERAGE 5-YEAR EARNINGS GROWTH .....................................  16.5%


AVERAGE 5-YEAR RETURN ON EQUITY ....................................  27.5%


AVERAGE MARKET CAPITALIZATION ................................... $152.0 BILLION



1 ALL AVERAGES ARE DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGES. THE 5-YEAR NUMBERS ARE CALCULATED
  BASED ON THE RESULTS FOR THE 5-YEAR PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999 FOR THOSE
  SECURITIES IN THE PORTFOLIO'S HOLDINGS AS OF AUGUST 31, 1999 WHOSE ISSUERS
  HAVE BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS.

(END SIDEBAR)


                       For the twelve month period ended August 31, 1999, the
                       Portfolio's Investment Class Shares returned 48.46% and
                       Institutional Class Shares returned 48.81%. During the
                       twelve month period, Large Growth outperformed all other
                       segments of the market by a large margin with all sectors
                       bringing in positive returns. The largest ten holdings in
                       the Portfolio had strong returns for the period with the
                       exception of the Coca-Cola Company which has been mired
                       with the recent European product withdrawal and the
                       retail pricing environment in North America.



                       The Technology sector, which made up over 36% of the
                       Portfolio as of August 31st, did extremely well with a
                       total return over the period of 114%. The top five
                       Technology positions in the Portfolio, Microsoft
                       Corporation, Intel Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc., Dell
                       Computer Corporation, and Hewlett-Packard Company, all
                       returned near or above the 100% mark. Other notable high
                       performers that boosted returns for the Portfolio were
                       Sun Microsystems, Inc., up 301% and EMC Corporation, up
                       169%. Pharmaceutical companies in the Consumer
                       Non-Durables sector, the second most heavily weighted
                       sector in this Portfolio, including Merck & Company,
                       Inc., Pfizer, Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and
                       Johnson & Johnson, also posted strong gains in the
                       Portfolio returning 18%, 23%, 37%, and 50%, respectively,
                       during the twelve months ended August 31, 1999.



                       The Large Company Growth Portfolio is comprised of
                       companies which have above average earnings and 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.

                       For the twelve month period ended August 31, 1999, the
                       Portfolio's Investment Class Shares returned 18.78% and
                       Institutional Class Shares returned 19.05%. The Large
                       Company Value Portfolio continued to underperform its
                       Large Growth counterpart even though most sectors brought
                       in positive returns. The one exception was the Consumer
                       Non-Durables sector with retail stocks being the hardest
                       hit. Albertson's, Inc. was down 3.98%, Sears, Roebuck &
                       Company was down 13.36%, Penney (J.C.) Company was down
                       23.23%, and Rite Aid Corporation also finished down at
                       47.09%.



                       Finance was the most heavily weighted sector in this
                       Portfolio over the period with a 36% weighting as of
                       August 31, 1999. Although ending up 12.43% for the
                       twelve-month period as a whole, stocks within Finance
                       were mixed: Bank of America Corporation (weight 6.5% as
                       of August 31, 1999) gained 8.11%, Chase Manhattan
                       Corporation (weight 4.4%) gained 63.13%, and Merrill
                       Lynch & Company, Inc. (weight 1.7%) gained 60.71% whereas
                       First Union Corporation (weight 2.5%) fell 10.53% and
                       Allstate Corporation (weight 1.62%) fell 11.15% over the
                       year. The Energy sector, a poor performer in the past,
                       had many bright spots making significant contributions to
                       the Portfolio. Mobil Corporation, Chevron Corporation,
                       and Enron Corporation, which combined made up over 10.5%
                       of the Portfolio as of August 31, 1999 returned 51.93%,
                       28.23%, and 58.90%, respectively, during the twelve
                       months ended August 31, 1999.


                       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 which 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

  BASED ON THE RESULTS FOR THE 5-YEAR PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 1999 FOR THOSE
  SECURITIES IN THE PORTFOLIO'S HOLDINGS AS OF AUGUST 31, 1999 WHOSE ISSUERS
  HAVE BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS.

                       For the twelve month period ended August 31, 1999, the
                       Portfolio's Investment Class Shares returned 20.79% and
                       Institutional Class Shares returned 21.04%. Small growth
                       stocks generally fared much better this year compared to
                       the same period one year ago when the Portfolio was down
                       26.01%. The traditional growth sectors, Consumer
                       Non-Durables, Materials & Services, and Technology,
                       together comprised over 68% of the Portfolio as of
                       August 31, 1999. All three sectors performed well with
                       particular highlights among the business services
                       holdings in the Materials & Services sector, CDW Computer
                       Centers, Inc. was up 130.52%, Sapient Corporation was up
                       113.92%, and QRS Corporation was up 166.13% during the
                       period.



                       The Technology sector also had some strong performers
                       that bolstered the overall performance for the Portfolio.
                       Veritas Software, held by the Portfolio for the first
                       half of 1999, returned 58.39% during the period, while
                       Gentex Corporation and Scientific Atlanta in the
                       Electronics category returned 142.16% and 103.89%,
                       respectively.


                       For investment decisions, the Small Company Growth
                       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.

                       For the twelve month period ended August 31, 1999, the
                       Portfolio's Investment Class Shares returned 6.20% and
                       Institutional Class Shares returned 6.43%. As was the
                       case with the large cap portfolios, the Small Company
                       Value Portfolio underperformed its Small Growth
                       counterpart with performance in the first quarter of 1999
                       and the last two months of the review period bringing
                       performance down for the period.


                       There are few highlights for the Small Company Value
                       Portfolio during the twelve months ended August 31, 1999.
                       The Transportation sector did climb 32.62% during the
                       period, but a relatively light weighting of 5.4% kept the
                       impact on performance minimal. One Transportation stock
                       in particular did very well. USFreightways Corp., which
                       made up almost 1% of the Portfolio, returned 118.93%
                       during the period. Materials & Services, the Portfolio's
                       most heavily weighted sector at 21.7% on August 31, 1999,
                       also had a strong performer with Pentair, Inc., a paper
                       and forest products company, which returned 65.72% during
                       the period. Its heavy weighting of 1.4%, relative to all
                       other securities in the Portfolio, helped contribute to
                       the Portfolio's positive return. The Materials & Services
                       sector was negative overall, falling 0.94% over the
                       period.



                       The Small Company Value 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 among 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 deals.

                       Since its inception on February 1, 1999, the Wilshire
                       5000 Index Portfolio has experienced strong growth in
                       assets due to both an influx of new shareholders as well
                       as market movement. Performance for the Portfolio's
                       Investment Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares
                       since inception to the period ended August 31, 1999 were
                       3.20% and 3.30%, respectively.



                       Rather than having one segment of the market dominate
                       this performance period as large cap growth has done in
                       recent years, we had ups and downs for all of the market
                       segments. The continued growth of the U.S. economy, as
                       well as what is widely seen as the end of the Asian
                       economic crisis, helped buoy performance in the markets
                       while also being responsible for increases in interest
                       rates during the first half of 1999. This helps explain
                       why monthly performance for the Portfolio has been mixed
                       since it was launched on February 1, 1999. Growth in the
                       total stock market in the months of March, April, and
                       June helped keep the overall return for the period in
                       positive territory.



                       Holdings in the Technology sector helped boost
                       performance for the Portfolio. IBM Corp., which made up
                       1.7% of the Portfolio as of August 31, 1999, was up
                       39.07% and Intel Corporation, which made up 2.0% of the
                       Portfolio on such date, was up 19.36%. Other strong
                       Technology performers during the period were Cisco
                       Systems, up 17.94%, and Texas Instruments, Inc., up
                       73.00%.



                       The Wilshire 5000 Index is comprised of about 7,000

   WILSHIRE TARGET FUNDS, INC.
   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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
diversified investment company, which 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 (the "5000
Portfolio") commenced operations on February 1, 1999. The Fund accounts
separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series.



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
Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio also offers Qualified Class Shares and Horace Mann
Class Shares. Each of the Investment Class, Qualified Class and Horace Mann
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
each 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 in good faith 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: Distribution and Service fees directly attributable to a class of
shares are charged to that class' operations. Expenses of the Portfolios other
than Distribution and Service fees 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.

<PAGE>
   WILSHIRE TARGET FUNDS, INC.
   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Distributions from net investment
income, if any, are declared and paid annually. The Portfolio's 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.


FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Fund intends to qualify each Portfolio 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 the average daily net assets of the Large Company Growth,
Large Company Value, Small Company Value and Small Company Growth Portfolios.



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. Prior to December 31, 1997,
Wilshire voluntarily waived .15 of 1% of the average daily net assets for the
Large Company Growth and Large 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 "5000 Portfolio"), the
Portfolio has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "5000 Advisory
Agreement") with Wilshire. Under the terms of the 5000 Advisory Agreement, the
Portfolio has agreed to pay Wilshire a fee computed daily and paid monthly at
the annual rate of .10% of the value of the Portfolio's average daily net
assets. However, Wilshire has agreed to waive advisory fees until at least
December 31, 1999, and reimburse other expenses with respect to the extent
necessary to maintain the Portfolio's expense ratio (other than Rule 12b-1 fees)
at 0.35% of the Portfolio's daily net assets until at least September 30, 2000.


For the year ended August 31, 1999, Wilshire voluntarily waived fees and
reimbursed other expenses 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 a services agreement (the "Services Agreement"). Under
the terms of the Services Agreement, the Fund has agreed to pay Investor
Services Group an administration 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 per each
Portfolio and $2,000 for each additional class.



With respect to the Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio, Investor Services Group has
agreed to waive certain administration and accounting asset fees, transfer agent
and fund accounting flat fees for a period of three years.


For the year ended August 31, 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 incurred overdraft charges. For the
year ended August 31, 1999, the charges were as follows: Large Company Growth,
$11,512; Large Company Value, $3,701; Small Company Growth, $8,859; Small
Company Value, $9,525; Wilshire 5000 Index, $275.

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 of the Fund, the Investment Class shareholders of each
Portfolio and the Qualified Class shareholders of the 5000 Portfolio have
adopted service and distribution plans 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 and the Qualified Class Shares of the
5000 Portfolio. Under the Plans, the Fund reimburses First Data Distributors,
Inc. ("FDDI"), 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 service fees 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 or Qualified Class shares. For the year ended
August 31, 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 .25%, .25%, .16%, .25% and .25% of average
net assets, respectively.



In addition, Investment Class and Institutional Class shares will pay the
expenses associated with their different shareholder servicing arrangements,
provided that payment of such fees to any shareholder service provider shall not
exceed in any year .10% of the Portfolio's average net assets attributable to
the shares whose holders are serviced by such provider. For the year ended
August 3, 1999, the shareholder service provider fees incurred for Large Company
Growth Portfolio, Large Company Value Portfolio, Small Company Growth Portfolio,
Small Company Value Portfolio and Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio were .05%, .06%,
 .03%, .06% and .07% of attributable average net assets, respectively.



The Directors of the Fund, the Horace Mann Class shareholders of the 5000
Portfolio have adopted a service and distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1,
with respect to the Horace Mann Class shares of the 5000 Portfolio. Under such
Plan, the Fund pays FDDI a fee equal to .35 of 1% of the value of the average
daily net assets of the 5000 Portfolio attributable to the Horace Mann Class
shares. No payments were made during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1999
pursuant to such plan, as the Class has not commenced operations as of such
date.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
of Wilshire Target Funds, Inc.:


    In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the statements of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Wilshire Target
Funds, Inc. (comprised of Large Company Growth Portfolio, Large Company Value
Portfolio, Small Company Growth Portfolio, Small Company Value Portfolio, and
Wilshire 5000 Index Portfolio) (the "Funds") at August 31, 1999, the results of
each of their operations for the year or period then ended, the changes in each
of its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods
presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
August 31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
