the Wilshire Insurance Variable Trust 2045 Moderate Fund;
Whereas Adviser desires to retain Sub-Adviser to furnish
investment advisory services for the Fund Portfolio(s) as
described in Exhibit 1 - Fund Portfolio Listing, as may be
amended from time to time, and Sub-Adviser wishes to
provide such services, upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein;
Now Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. Appointment. Adviser hereby appoints Sub-Adviser to
provide certain sub-investment advisory services to each Fund
Portfolio for the period and on the terms set forth in this
Agreement. Sub-Adviser hereby accepts such appointment and
agrees to furnish the services set forth for the compensation
herein provided.
2. Sub-Adviser Services. Subject always to the supervision of
the Fund's Board of Directors and Adviser, Sub-Adviser will
furnish an investment program in respect of, and make investment
decisions for, such portion of the assets of each Fund Portfolio
as Adviser shall from time to time designate (each a "Portfolio
Segment") and place all orders for the purchase and sale of
securities on behalf of each Portfolio Segment. In the
performance of its duties, Sub-Adviser will satisfy its
fiduciary duties to the Fund and each Fund Portfolio and will
monitor a Portfolio Segment's investments, and will comply with
the provisions of the Fund's Articles of Incorporation and By-
laws, as amended from time to time, and the stated investment
objectives, policies and restrictions of each Fund Portfolio as
set forth in the prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information for each Fund Portfolio, as amended from time to
time, as well as any other objectives, policies or limitations
as may be provided by Adviser to Sub-Adviser in writing from
time to time.
Sub-Adviser will provide reports at least quarterly to
the Board of Directors and to Adviser. Sub-Adviser will make its
officers and employees available to Adviser and the Board of
Directors from time to time at reasonable times to review
investment policies of each Fund Portfolio with respect to each
Portfolio Segment and to consult with Adviser regarding the
investment affairs of each Portfolio Segment.
Sub-Adviser agrees that it:
(a) will use the same skill and care in providing such
services as it uses in providing services to fiduciary
accounts for which it has investment responsibilities;
(b) will conform with all applicable provisions of the
1940 Act and rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission in all material respects and in
addition will conduct its activities under this Agreement
in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations of
any governmental authority pertaining to its investment
advisory activities, including all portfolio
diversification requirements necessary for each Portfolio
Segment to comply with subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code as if each were a regulated investment company
thereunder;
(c) to the extent authorized by Adviser in writing, and to
the extent permitted by law, will execute purchases and
sales of portfolio securities and other investments for
each Portfolio Segment through brokers or dealers
designated by management of the Fund to Adviser for the
purpose of providing direct benefits to the Fund, provided
that Sub-Adviser determines that such brokers or dealers
will provide best execution in view of all appropriate
