Dear Shareholder,

We are writing to inform you of the upcoming joint special meeting of shareholders (the "Special Meeting") of Wilshire Private Assets Master Fund (formerly the Delaware Wilshire Private Markets Master Fund) (the "Master Fund") and Wilshire Private Assets Fund (formerly the Delaware Wilshire Private Markets Fund) (the "Feeder Fund") (the Feeder Fund and Master Fund, together, the "Funds"). At the Special Meeting, shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on important proposals affecting the Funds. The Special Meeting will be held on [●], 2024, at [●], a.m. Eastern time at the offices of SEI Investments, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456.

Each of the Funds is a closed-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The Feeder Fund operates as a feeder fund in a master-feeder fund arrangement with the Master Fund. As a feeder fund, the Feeder Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Master Fund, which has the same investment objective as the Feeder Fund. Pursuant to the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Feeder Fund's voting rights with respect to the Master Fund interests held by the Feeder Fund must be passed through to the Feeder Fund's own shareholders. Therefore, as indicated below, you are being asked to vote on the following proposals applicable to both the Feeder Fund and the Master Fund (the "Proposals"):

1) To approve a new fundamental investment policy under which each Fund will periodically offer to repurchase Fund shares. Pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), each Fund is proposing to adopt a fundamental policy to offer to repurchase not less than 5% and not more than 25% of each Fund's outstanding common stock at net asset value once every three (3) months.
2) To elect a nominee, a current Trustee (the "Nominee"), to the Board of Trustees of each Fund.

The Board of Trustees of each Fund believes that the approval of the proposals is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders, and has unanimously approved, and recommends that you vote FOR, the Proposals.

The question and answer section that follows briefly discusses the proposals. Please review and consider the enclosed materials carefully, and then please take a moment to vote. Detailed information about each of the proposals is contained in the enclosed Proxy Statement.

Your vote is important no matter how many shares you own. Voting your shares early will help prevent costly follow-up mail and telephone solicitation.

You may choose one of the following options to authorize a proxy to vote your shares (which is commonly known as proxy voting) or to vote in person at the Special Meeting:

Questions and Answers

We encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed Proxy Statement, but, for your convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the Proposals.

Q. Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?
A. You are receiving this Proxy Statement because you were a Shareholder of the Feeder Fund on the Record Date, and therefore have the right to vote on important Proposals concerning the Funds.
Q. What are the Proposals about?
A. This Proxy Statement presents two proposals.

Proposal 1

This proposal relates to adopting a new fundamental investment policy.

You are being asked to approve the adoption of a new fundamental policy regarding quarterly offers to repurchase each Fund's shares (the "Repurchase Policy") at net asset value ("NAV"). Based on the recommendation of the Funds' investment adviser, Wilshire Advisors LLC ("Wilshire" or the "Adviser"), each Fund intends to begin operating as an "interval fund" pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). As a result, the Board has adopted (subject to Shareholder approval) a fundamental policy to offer to repurchase not less than 5% and not more than 25% of each Fund's shares at NAV quarterly. The Funds are seeking Shareholder approval to adopt the Repurchase Policy.

Proposal 2

You are being asked to elect a new Trustee of the Funds. There are currently five members of the Board that have been elected by the Funds' Shareholders: William M. Doran, Jon C. Hunt, Thomas P. Lemke, Jay C. Nadel and Randall S. Yanker. Each of Messrs. Doran, Hunt, Lemke, Nadel and Yanker, were previously elected by the Board's initial Shareholder on March 19, 2020. Nichelle Maynard-Elliott, the Trustee nominee, is currently a member of the Board. Ms. Maynard-Elliott was nominated by the Governance Committee of the Board on June 23, 2021 and was appointed by unanimous consent of the Board on June 23, 2021. In accordance with Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act, the Board may appoint Trustees to fill vacancies if after doing so at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders of the Funds. The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Funds for the shareholders to elect Ms. Maynard-Elliott.

Q. Will operating the Funds as interval funds affect my account with the Feeder Fund?
A. No. You will still own the same number of shares in the Feeder Fund that you currently hold and the value of your investment will not change as a result of adopting the Repurchase Policy. Adopting the Repurchase Policy will allow Shareholders to sell shares of their Fund back to the respective Fund at NAV once every three months. Subject to Board approval, each Fund intends to offer to repurchase 5% of its outstanding shares every three months if Shareholders approve Proposal 1.

iii

Q. Why does Wilshire recommend changing the Funds to interval funds rather than continuing to operate as tender offer funds?
A. Under the current structure any repurchase of Shares by a Fund will only be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. The Adviser believes that adopting the Repurchase Policy under Rule 23c-3 of the Investment Company Act both would provide investors with sufficient liquidity and would help to moderate any discount to net asset value that otherwise would occur if the Feeder Fund's shares were instead traded on an exchange. The Adviser also believes that conversion to an interval structure would allow the Feeder Fund to achieve a wider distribution via intermediary platforms, which in turn would allow both Funds to achieve economies of scale and reduce expenses for Shareholders over time. The Feeder Fund's current liquidity profile has been identified as a barrier to adoption by such third-party platforms.

Under the proposed fundamental policy, the Board will be required to make a quarterly repurchase offer for between 5% and 25% of each Fund's outstanding shares. The Board currently expects to make a repurchase offer for [5%] of each Fund's outstanding shares every three months. If a repurchase offer by a Fund is oversubscribed, the Fund may purchase additional shares up to a maximum amount of 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount, or if security holders tender shares in an amount exceeding the repurchase offer amount plus 2% of the common stock outstanding on the repurchase request deadline, the Fund will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis. In this event, Shareholders may be unable to liquidate all or a given percentage of their investment in the Fund during a particular repurchase offer.

Q. How does Proposal 2 affect the composition of the Board?
A. Proposal 2 will not result in a change to the current Board composition. Currently the Board is composed of six persons, five of whom are not "interested persons" of the Funds as defined in the Investment Company Act (the "Independent Trustees"): Jon C. Hunt, Thomas P. Lemke, Nichelle Maynard-Elliott, Jay C. Nadel and Randall S. Yanker. William M. Doran is the "interested person" of the Funds and therefore serves as the Interested Trustee of the Funds. Rule 23c-3 requires at least a majority of the directors of the funds are not "interested persons" of the funds, or Independent Trustees, for the funds to operate as interval funds. If Shareholders elect Nichelle Maynard-Elliott as proposed, each of the Trustees will have been elected by Shareholders, which will provide the Board with the flexibility to fill a vacancy or add an additional Trustee without incurring the cost associated with seeking Shareholder approval. In addition, a majority of the Board will qualify as Independent Trustees as required for the Funds to operate as interval funds.

iv

Q. How long will the Trustees serve on the Board?
A. There is no stated term of office for the Trustees of the Funds. Nevertheless, an independent Trustee must retire from the Board as of the end of the calendar year in which such independent Trustee first attains the age of seventy-five years; provided, however, that, an independent Trustee may continue to serve for one or more additional one calendar year terms after attaining the age of seventy-five years (each calendar year a "Waiver Term") if, and only if, prior to the beginning of such Waiver Term: (1) the Governance Committee (a) meets to review the performance of the independent Trustee; (b) finds that the continued service of such independent Trustee is in the best interests of the Funds; and (c) unanimously approves excepting the independent Trustee from the general retirement policy set out above; and (2) a majority of the Trustees approves excepting the independent Trustee from the general retirement policy set out above.
Q. Who will pay for the proxy solicitation and related legal costs?
A. The Adviser will pay for the proxy solicitation and related legal costs. The Adviser estimates that the cost of preparing, printing and mailing the Proxy Statement and soliciting Shareholder votes will be $X,000.
Q. What will happen if Shareholders do not approve the Proposals?
A. Approval of Proposal 1 requires the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of each Fund. If Shareholders do not approve Proposal 1, the Funds will not be able to operate as interval funds and will continue to operate as tender offer funds that offer to repurchase Fund shares on a periodic basis at the discretion of the Board.

Approval of Proposal 2 requires a plurality of votes cast on the matter in favor the nominee. If Nichelle Maynard-Elliott receives a plurality of votes cast on Proposal 2, Ms. Maynard-Elliott will be elected to serve as an Independent Trustee. If Ms. Maynard-Elliott does not receive a plurality of votes cast on Proposal 2, she will continue to serve as an Independent Trustee pursuant to her appointment in accordance with Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act.

Neither Proposal is contingent upon the approval of the other Proposal.

If approved, Proposal 1 will be implemented upon the effective date of an amendment to the Fund's registration statement disclosing the changes. If approved, Proposal 2 will be implemented upon Shareholder approval.

Q. What is the Board's recommendation?
A. After careful consideration, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR all Proposals.

PROPOSAL 1:
ADOPTION OF FUNDAMENTAL POLICY TO CONDUCT PERIODIC
REPURCHASE OFFERS

On [●], 2024, the Board unanimously voted to convert the Funds to interval funds, subject to Shareholder approval. An interval fund is a closed-end management investment company that has adopted a fundamental policy to conduct periodic repurchases of its outstanding common shares pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act. Rule 23c-3 requires that a majority of each Fund's Shareholders adopt such fundamental policy. Therefore, the Board is seeking your approval to adopt a fundamental policy to conduct periodic repurchases of each Fund's common shares as described below (the "Repurchase Policy").

Background and Reasons

The Board recommends a vote for the proposal to approve the adoption of the Repurchase Policy because such repurchase offers will ensure greater and more consistent liquidity for each Fund's Shareholders. As described in greater detail below, upon adopting the Repurchase Policy, each Fund will be required to conduct quarterly repurchase offers unless limited exceptions (as discussed below) apply. Under their current structure, the Funds will only conduct tender offers at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. Adopting the Repurchase Policy will enable the Funds to take advantage of a more efficient and less costly repurchase offer process pursuant to Rule 23c-3. Shareholders will benefit from the lower cost burden on the Funds and assurance that repurchases will be conducted quarterly. Additionally, the conversion to an interval structure would allow the Feeder Fund to achieve wider distribution via intermediary platforms, which would in turn allow both Funds to achieve economies of scale and reduce expenses for Shareholders over time.

Pursuant to the Repurchase Policy, each Fund intends to make one repurchase offer of no less than 5% and no more than 25% of its shares outstanding each quarter at a price equal to the net asset value per share ("NAV"). Such repurchases are referred to as "Mandatory Repurchases" because the Fund is required to conduct the repurchase offer unless certain limited circumstances occur (as set forth below under the heading "Suspension or Postponement of Mandatory Repurchase"). The Board currently intends to make a repurchase offer for [5%] of each Fund's outstanding shares each quarter. If a repurchase offer by a Fund is oversubscribed, the Fund may purchase additional shares up to a maximum amount of an additional 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the repurchase offer amount, or if security holders tender stock in an amount exceeding the repurchase offer amount plus 2% of the common shares outstanding on the Repurchase Request Deadline (as defined below), the Fund will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis. There is no guarantee that Shareholders will be able to sell all of the shares they desire in a Mandatory Repurchase. Each Fund intends to maintain liquid securities, cash or access to a bank line of credit in amounts sufficient to meet the annual redemption offer requirements.

If the Repurchase Policy is adopted, the offer to repurchase shares will be a fundamental policy that may not be changed without the vote of the holders of a majority of each Fund's outstanding voting securities (as defined in the Investment Company Act). Shareholders will be notified in writing of each Mandatory Repurchase and the date the repurchase offer will end (the "Repurchase Request Deadline"). Shares will be repurchased at the NAV per share determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") no later than the 14th day after the Repurchase Request Deadline, or the next business day if the 14th day is not a business day (each a "Repurchase Pricing Date").

1

Shareholders will be notified in writing about each Mandatory Repurchase offer and how they may request that the Funds repurchase their shares and the Repurchase Request Deadline, which is the date the repurchase offer ends. Shares tendered for repurchase by Shareholders prior to any Repurchase Request Deadline will be repurchased subject to the aggregate repurchase amounts established for that Repurchase Request Deadline. The time between the notification to Shareholders and the Repurchase Request Deadline is generally 30 days but may vary from no more than 42 days to no less than 21 days. Payment pursuant to the repurchase will be made by checks to the Shareholder's address of record or credited directly to a predetermined bank account on the purchase payment date, which will be no more than seven days after the Repurchase Pricing Date.

The Board may establish other policies for repurchases of shares that are consistent with the Investment Company Act, regulations thereunder and other pertinent laws.

Determination of Repurchase Offer Amount

The Board, in its sole discretion, will determine the number of shares that each Fund will offer to repurchase (the "Repurchase Offer Amount") for the given Repurchase Request Deadline. The Repurchase Offer Amount will be no less than 5% and no more than 25% of the total number of shares outstanding on the Repurchase Request Deadline. Currently, the Board intends to make a repurchase offer for [5%] of each Fund's then outstanding shares each quarter. Accordingly, investors should not rely on Mandatory Repurchases being made in amounts in excess of [5%] of the total number of shares outstanding. If a repurchase offer by a Fund is oversubscribed, the Fund may purchase additional shares up to a maximum amount of an additional 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. If Shareholders tender for repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount plus an additional 2% (if applicable), the Fund will repurchase the shares on a pro rata basis, provided that the Fund may accept all shares tendered for Mandatory Repurchase by Shareholders who own less than 100 shares and who tender all of their shares, before prorating other amounts tendered. In addition, the Fund will accept the total number of shares tendered in connection with required minimum distributions from an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other qualified retirement plan. It is the Shareholder's obligation to both notify and provide the Fund supporting documentation of a required minimum distribution from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan.

Notice to Shareholders

Approximately 30 days (but no less than 21 days and more than 42 days) before each Repurchase Request Deadline, each Fund shall send to each Shareholder of record and to each beneficial owner of the shares that are the subject of the repurchase offer a notification ("Shareholder Notice"). The Shareholder Notice will contain information Shareholders should consider when deciding whether or not to tender their shares for Mandatory Repurchase. The notice also will include detailed instructions on how to tender shares for the Mandatory Repurchase, state the Repurchase Offer Amount and identify the dates of the Repurchase Request Deadline, the scheduled Repurchase Pricing Date, and the date the repurchase proceeds are scheduled for payment (the "Repurchase Payment Deadline"). The notice also will set forth the NAV computed by each Fund no more than seven days before the date of the Shareholder Notice, and how Shareholders may ascertain the NAV after the notification date.

2

Repurchase Price

The share repurchase price will be the NAV as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the Repurchase Pricing Date. You may call [XXX-XXX-XXXX], Monday through Friday, except holidays, during normal business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) to learn the NAV for each of the five days before the Repurchase Pricing Date. The Shareholder Notice also will provide information concerning the NAV, such as the NAV as of a recent date or a sampling of recent NAVs, and a toll-free number for information regarding the Mandatory Repurchase.

Repurchase Amounts and Payment of Proceeds

Shares tendered for Mandatory Repurchase by Shareholders prior to any Repurchase Request Deadline will be repurchased subject to the aggregate Repurchase Offer Amount established for that Repurchase Request Deadline. Payment pursuant to the Mandatory Repurchase will be made by check to the Shareholder's address of record or credited directly to a predetermined bank account on the purchase payment date, which will be no more than seven days after the Repurchase Pricing Date. The Board may establish other policies for repurchases of shares that are consistent with the Investment Company Act, regulations thereunder and other pertinent laws.

If Shareholders tender for repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount for a given Mandatory Repurchase, each Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional amount of shares not to exceed 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund on the Repurchase Request Deadline. If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, or if Shareholders tender shares in an amount exceeding the Repurchase Offer Amount plus 2% of the outstanding shares on the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will repurchase the shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may accept all shares tendered for repurchase by Shareholders who own less than one hundred shares and who tender all of their shares, before prorating other amounts tendered. In addition, the Fund will accept the total number of shares tendered in connection with required minimum distributions from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan.

Suspension or Postponement of Mandatory Repurchase

Each Fund may suspend or postpone a Mandatory Repurchase pursuant to a vote by a majority of the Funds' Trustees, including a majority of its Independent Trustees, and only: (a) if making or effecting the Mandatory Repurchase would cause the Fund to lose its status as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (b) for any period during which the NYSE or any market on which the securities owned by the Fund are principally traded is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or during which trading in such market is restricted; (c) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable, or during which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets; or (d) for such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") may by order permit for the protection of Shareholders of the Fund. If a Mandatory Repurchase is suspended or postponed, the Fund will provide notice to its Shareholders of such suspension or postponement. If the Fund renews the Mandatory Repurchase, the Fund will send a new notification to its Shareholders in compliance with Rule 23c-3.

3

Liquidity Requirements

Each Fund must maintain liquid assets equal to the Repurchase Offer Amount from the time that the Shareholder Notice is sent until the Repurchase Pricing Date. Each Fund will ensure that a percentage of its net assets equal to at least 100% of the Repurchase Offer Amount consists of assets that can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the price at which the Fund has valued the investment within the time period between the Repurchase Request Deadline and the Repurchase Payment Deadline. The Board will adopt procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that each Fund's assets are sufficiently liquid so that the Fund can comply with a Mandatory Repurchase and the liquidity requirements described in the previous paragraph. If, at any time, a Fund falls out of compliance with these liquidity requirements, the Board will take whatever action it deems appropriate to ensure compliance.

Risks Related to the Approval of Proposal 1

Mandatory Repurchases will typically be funded from available cash or access to a bank line of credit in amounts sufficient to meet the annual repurchase offer requirements. Payment for repurchased shares, however, may require a Fund to liquidate portfolio holdings earlier than the Adviser otherwise would, thus increasing the Fund's portfolio turnover and potentially causing the Fund to realize losses. The Adviser intends to take measures to attempt to avoid or minimize such potential losses and turnover, and instead of liquidating portfolio holdings, may borrow money to finance repurchases of shares. If a Fund borrows to finance repurchases, interest on that borrowing will negatively affect Shareholders who do not tender their shares in a Mandatory Repurchase by increasing the Fund's expenses and reducing any net investment income. To the extent a Fund finances repurchase amounts by selling Fund investments, the Fund may hold a larger proportion of its assets in less liquid securities. The sale of portfolio securities to fund Mandatory Repurchases also could reduce the market price of those underlying securities, which in turn would reduce a Fund's NAV. In addition, a Fund may sell portfolio securities at an inopportune time and may suffer losses or unexpected tax liabilities. Repurchase of a Fund's shares will tend to reduce the amount of outstanding shares and, depending upon the Fund's investment performance, its net assets. A reduction in a Fund's net assets would increase the Fund's expense ratio, to the extent that additional shares are not sold and expenses otherwise remain the same (or increase). In addition, the repurchase of shares by a Fund will be a taxable event to Shareholders.

The Funds are intended as long-term investments. The Mandatory Repurchases will be the only means of liquidity provided by each Fund through which Shareholders have a right to redeem their shares, subject to a limited number of extenuating circumstances. Because each Fund will provide liquidity through the Mandatory Repurchases, they do not anticipate seeking to complete a liquidation event in the future. Other than Mandatory Repurchases, shareholders do not have the right to have their shares redeemed by a Fund or transfer or exchange their shares, other than limited rights of a Shareholder's descendants to redeem shares in the event of such Shareholder's death pursuant to certain conditions and restrictions. The Funds' shares are not traded on a national securities exchange.

4

Vote Required

Adoption of the fundamental policy requires the affirmative vote of a majority of each Fund's outstanding voting shares. The Investment Company Act defines a "majority vote" as the vote of Shareholders owning the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares present at a meeting of Shareholders, if the holders of more than 50% of a fund's outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy at such meeting; or (b) more than 50% of a fund's outstanding voting shares. For purposes of the Shareholder vote solicited here, a majority vote means the vote of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of each Fund on the Record Date.

The Board recommends a vote "FOR" Proposal 1.

PROPOSAL 2:
ELECTION OF TRUSTEE

There are currently five members of the Board that have been elected by Fund Shareholders: William M. Doran, Jon C. Hunt, Thomas P. Lemke, Jay C. Nadel and Randall S. Yanker. Each of Messrs.

Ms. Maynard-Elliott was nominated by the Governance Committee of the Board on June 23, 2021 and was appointed by unanimous consent of the Board on June 23, 2021. In accordance with Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act, the Board may appoint Trustees to fill vacancies if after doing so at least two-thirds of the Trustees have been elected by the shareholders of the Fund. Each Board believes it is in the best interests of the Fund for the shareholders to elect Ms. Maynard-Elliott.

Information about the Trustee Nominee, Trustees and Officers of the Fund

Certain information with respect to the nominee for election, Trustees and the officers of the Funds' is set forth below, including their names, ages, a brief description of their recent business experience, including present occupations and employment and certain trusteeships that each person holds, and the length of time served in such capacity with the Funds.

Trustee Independence

Under the Investment Company Act, in order for a Trustee to be deemed independent, he or she, among other things, generally must not: own, control or hold power to vote, 5% or more of the voting securities or be an officer or employee of a Fund or of an investment adviser or principal underwriter to a Fund; control a Fund or an investment adviser or principal underwriter to a Fund; be an officer, trustee or employee of an investment adviser or principal underwriter to a Fund; be a member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons; knowingly have a direct or indirect beneficial interest in, or be designated as an executor, guardian or trustee of an interest in, any security issued by an investment adviser or principal underwriter to a Fund; be a partner or employee of any firm that has acted as legal counsel to a Fund or an investment adviser or principal underwriter to a Fund during the last two years; or have certain relationships with a broker-dealer or other person that has engaged in agency transactions, principal transactions, lent money or other property to, or distributed shares on behalf of a Fund.

5

The Board, pursuant to the Investment Company Act and with advice of counsel to the Independent Trustees, has considered the independence of the nominee and other existing members of the Board who are not employed by the Adviser, or SEI Investments Distribution Co., the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor"), or any of their respective affiliates, and has concluded that Ms. Maynard-Elliott is not an "interested person" of the Funds, the Adviser, or the Distributor, as defined by the Investment Company Act and therefore qualifies as an Independent Trustee under the standards promulgated by the Investment Company Act.

Corporate Governance - Board Committees

In addition to serving on the Board, Trustees may also serve on each Fund's Audit Committee or Governance Committee, both of which have been established by the Board to handle certain designated responsibilities. The Board has designated a chairman of the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee. Subject to applicable laws, the Board may establish additional committees, change the membership of any committee, fill all vacancies and designate alternate members to replace any absent or disqualified member of any committee, or dissolve any committee as it deems necessary and in a Fund's best interest.

Audit Committee. The Board has a standing Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") that is composed of each of the Independent Trustees. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board. The principal responsibilities of the Audit Committee include: (i) recommending which firm to engage as the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm and whether to terminate this relationship; (ii) reviewing the independent registered public accounting firm's compensation, the proposed scope and terms of its engagement, and the firm's independence; (iii) pre-approving audit and non-audit services provided by the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm to the Funds and certain other affiliated entities; (iv) serving as a channel of communication between the independent registered public accounting firm and the Trustees; (v) reviewing the results of each external audit, including any qualifications in the independent registered public accounting firm's opinion, any related management letter, management's responses to recommendations made by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with the audit, reports submitted to the Committee by the internal auditing department of the Administrator that are material to the Funds as a whole, if any, and management's responses to any such reports; (vi) reviewing the Funds' audited financial statements and considering any significant disputes between the Funds' management and the independent registered public accounting firm that arose in connection with the preparation of those financial statements; (vii) considering, in consultation with the independent registered public accounting firm and the Funds' senior internal accounting executive, if any, the independent registered public accounting firms' reports on the adequacy of the Funds' internal financial controls; (viii) reviewing, in consultation with the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm, major changes regarding auditing and accounting principles and practices to be followed when preparing the Funds' financial statements; and (ix) other audit related matters. Ms. Maynard-Elliott and Messrs. Hunt, Lemke, Nadel and Yanker currently serve as members of the Audit Committee. Mr. Nadel serves as Chair of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee charter is attached hereto as Attachment A. The Audit Committee meets periodically, as necessary, and met four (4) times during the most recently completed fiscal year.

13

Governance Committee. The Board has a standing Governance Committee (the "Governance Committee") that is composed of each of the Independent Trustees. The Governance Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board. The principal responsibilities of the Governance Committee include: (i) considering and reviewing Board governance and compensation issues; (ii) conducting a self-assessment of the Board's operations; (iii) selecting and nominating all persons to serve as Independent Trustees and considering proposals of and making recommendations for "interested" Trustee candidates to the Board; and (iv) reviewing shareholder recommendations for nominations to fill vacancies on the Board if such recommendations are submitted in writing and addressed to the Committee at a Fund's office. In identifying and evaluating candidates for election to the Board, the Governance Committee may consider a wide variety of factors relating to a candidate's relevant skills, experiences and suitability for membership on the Board. The Governance Committee will evaluate candidates recommended by shareholders in the same manner as it considers candidates identified through other means. Ms. Maynard-Elliott and Messrs. Hunt, Lemke, Nadel and Yanker currently serve as members of the Governance Committee. Ms. Maynard-Elliott serves as Chair of the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee Charter is attached hereto as Attachment B. The Governance Committee meets periodically, as necessary, and met two (2) times during the most recently completed fiscal year.

Board Responsibilities

The management and affairs of the Funds are overseen by the Trustees. The Board has approved contracts, as described above, under which certain companies provide essential management services to the Funds. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Board held [●]meetings.

The day-to-day business of the Funds, including the management of risk, is performed by third party service providers, such as the Advisers, the Distributor and the Administrator. The Trustees are responsible for overseeing the Funds' service providers and, thus, have oversight responsibility with respect to risk management performed by those service providers. Risk management seeks to identify and address risks, i.e., events or circumstances that could have material adverse effects on the business, operations, shareholder services, investment performance or reputation of the Funds. The Funds and their service providers employ a variety of processes, procedures and controls to identify various possible events or circumstances, to lessen the probability of their occurrence and/or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur. Each service provider is responsible for one or more discrete aspects of the Funds' business (e.g., the Advisers are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds' portfolio investments) and, consequently, for managing the risks associated with that business. The Board has emphasized to the Funds' service providers the importance of maintaining vigorous risk management.

The Trustees' role in risk oversight begins before the inception of a Fund, at which time certain of the Fund's service providers present the Board with information concerning the investment objective, strategies and risks of the Fund as well as proposed investment limitations for the Fund. Additionally, the Adviser provides the Board with an overview of, among other things, their respective investment philosophies, brokerage practices and compliance infrastructures. Thereafter, the Board continues its oversight function as various personnel, including the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer (the "Chief Compliance Officer"), as well as personnel of the Adviser and other service providers such as the Funds' independent accountants, make periodic reports to the Audit Committee or to the Board with respect to various aspects of risk management. The Board and the Audit Committee oversee efforts by management and service providers to manage risks to which the Funds may be exposed.

The Board is responsible for overseeing the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and receives information about those services at its regular meetings. In addition, following an initial two-year term, on an annual basis, in connection with its consideration of whether to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Board meets with the Adviser to review such services. Among other things, the Board regularly considers the Adviser's adherence to the Funds' investment restrictions and compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. The Board also reviews information about the Funds' investments, including, for example, reports on the Adviser's use of derivatives in managing the Funds, if any, as well as reports on the Fund's investments in other investment companies, if any.

15

The Chief Compliance Officer reports regularly to the Board to review and discuss compliance issues and Fund and Adviser risk assessments. At least annually, the Chief Compliance Officer provides the Board with a report reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Funds' policies and procedures and those of its service providers, including the Adviser. The report addresses the operation of the policies and procedures of the Funds and each service provider since the date of the last report; any material changes to the policies and procedures since the date of the last report; any recommendations for material changes to the policies and procedures; and any material compliance matters since the date of the last report.

The Board receives reports from the Funds' service providers regarding operational risks and risks related to the valuation and liquidity of portfolio securities. The Adviser makes regular reports to the Board concerning investments for which market quotations are not readily available. Annually, the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm reviews with the Audit Committee its audit of the Funds' financial statements, focusing on major areas of risk encountered by the Funds and noting any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Funds' internal controls. Additionally, in connection with its oversight function, the Board oversees Fund management's implementation of disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Funds in their periodic reports with the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods. The Board also oversees the Funds' internal controls over financial reporting, which comprise policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Funds' financial reporting and the preparation of the Funds' financial statements.

From their review of these reports and discussions with the Adviser, the Chief Compliance Officer, the independent registered public accounting firm and other service providers, the Board and the Audit Committee learn in detail about the material risks of the Funds, thereby facilitating a dialogue about how management and service providers identify and mitigate those risks.

The Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect a Fund can be identified and/or quantified, that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the Funds' goals, and that the processes, procedures and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness. Moreover, reports received by the Trustees as to risk management matters are typically summaries of the relevant information. Most of the Funds' investment management and business affairs are carried out by or through the Adviser and other service providers each of which has an independent interest in risk management but whose policies and the methods by which one or more risk management functions are carried out may differ from the Funds' and each other's in the setting of priorities, the resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Board's ability to monitor and manage risk, as a practical matter, is subject to limitations.

16

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Doran, an interested person of the Funds, serves as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Hunt, an Independent Trustee, serves as the lead Independent Trustee. The Funds have determined their leadership structure is appropriate given the specific characteristics and circumstances of the Funds. The Funds made this determination in consideration of, among other things, the fact that the Independent Trustees constitute more than three-quarters of the Board, the fact that the chairperson of each Committee of the Board is an Independent Trustee and the amount of assets under management in the Funds. The Board also believes that its leadership structure facilitates the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Independent Trustees from Fund management.

In his role as Chairman, Mr. Doran, among other things: (i) presides over board meetings; (ii) oversees the development of agendas for Board meetings; (iii) facilitates communication between the Trustees and management; and (iv) has such other responsibilities as the Board determines from time to time.

In his role as lead Independent Trustee, Mr. Hunt, among other things: (i) presides over Board meetings in the absence of the Chairman of the Board; (ii) presides over executive sessions of the Independent Trustees; (iii) along with the Chairman of the Board, oversees the development of agendas for Board meetings; (iv) facilitates communication between the Independent Trustees and management, and among the Independent Trustees; (v) serves as a key point person for dealings between the Independent Trustees and management; and (vi) has such other responsibilities as the Board or Independent Trustees determine from time to time.

Board's Role in Risk Oversight

The Board has two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee. The Audit Committee and Governance Committee are each chaired by an Independent Trustee and composed of all of the Independent Trustees. The Board is responsible for overseeing risk management, and the full Board regularly engages in discussions of risk management and receives compliance reports that inform its oversight of risk management from its Chief Compliance Officer at quarterly meetings and on an ad hoc basis, when and if necessary. The Audit Committee considers financial and reporting risk within its area of responsibilities. Generally, the Board believes that its oversight of material risks is adequately maintained through the compliance-reporting chain where the Chief Compliance Officer is the primary recipient and communicator of such risk-related information.

Communication with the Board

Shareholders with questions about the Funds are encouraged to contact the Funds. Shareholders may communicate with the Funds or the Board by mailing their communications to, as applicable, Wilshire Private Assets Master Fund or Wilshire Private Assets Fund, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, Pennsylvania 19456. All Shareholder communications received in this manner will be delivered as appropriate to one or more members of the Board.

Board Compensation

Each Fund paid the following fees to the Trustees during the Fund's fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The Funds do not pay compensation to the Interested Trustees or the officers of the Fund.

Vote Required

This proposal requires a plurality of the voting securities of each Fund. This means, for election of a Trustee, that a nominee for election receiving more votes than any other nominee for election will be elected as a Trustee. As there is one Board seat and one nominee for election as a Trustee, the nominee will receive a plurality of the votes cast if there are any votes cast in favor of her election as Trustee.

The Board recommends a vote "FOR" Proposal 2.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Independent Registered Public Accountant

The Investment Company Act requires that a Fund's independent registered public accounting firm be selected by a majority of the Independent Trustees. One of the purposes of the Audit Committee is to recommend to the Board the selection, retention or termination of the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds. The Funds' independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 was Cohen & Company, Ltd ("Cohen"). On March 26, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Trust's Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. ("Cohen") as the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended year ended March 31, 2024. On June 17, 2024, the Audit Committee, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the appointment of Cohen as the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.

18

On January 31, 2024, due to auditor independence requirements, the Audit Committee of the Trust's Board of Trustees dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

PwC's report on the financial statements of the Wilshire Private Assets Fund (formerly the Delaware Wilshire Private Markets Fund) for the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

For the two fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through January 31, 2024, there have been no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the financial statements. In addition, there have been no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Cohen billed the Fund aggregate fees for services rendered to the Funds for the 2024 fiscal year as follows:

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2024
Audit Fees $ 67,500
Audit-Related Fees $ 0
Tax Fees $ 0

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the "Policy"), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Funds may be pre-approved.

The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Fund's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services: (1) require specific pre-approval; (2) are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or (3) have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor's annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with SEC's rules and whether the provision of such services would impair the auditor's independence.

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial expert, provided that the estimated fee for any such proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly-scheduled meeting.

Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval.

All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Fund, the investment adviser, or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.

In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet the Audit Committee's responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor's independence from the Fund, such as (a) reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Fund, and (b) discussing with the independent auditor the independent auditor's methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, Cohen did not bill any non-audit fees to the Fund or any affiliate of Wilshire that provides services to the Fund.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, PwC did not bill any non-audit fees to the Fund or any affiliate of Wilshire that provides services to the Fund.

Representatives of Cohen are not expected to be present at the Special Meeting and are not expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, representatives of Cohen will have the opportunity to make a statement at the Special Meeting if they desire to do so.

Principal Shareholders and Control Persons

As of May 31, 2024, Macquarie Management Holdings, Inc. owned as of record or beneficially approximately 38.6% of the outstanding Shares of the Wilshire Private Assets Fund. Persons beneficially owning more than 25% of the Wilshire Private Assets Fund's outstanding Shares may be deemed to "control" the Wilshire Private Assets Fund, and indirectly, the Wilshire Private Assets Fund Master Fund, within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Shareholders controlling the Wilshire Private Assets Fund Master Fund may have a significant impact on any shareholder vote of the Wilshire Private Assets Fund Master Fund.

As of May 31, 2024, the trustees and officers of the Wilshire Private Assets Fund as a group beneficially owned less than one percent of the Wilshire Private Assets Fund's outstanding Shares.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

Except as discussed above under the sub-section "Principal Shareholders and Control Persons" the Funds are not aware if any person that, directly or indirectly own, control or hold with the power to vote, 5% or more of the Funds' outstanding voting securities as of the Record Date.

As of the Record Date, the Trustees and executive officers, as a group, owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.

21

Quorum, Voting and Adjournment

For each Fund, the presence at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, of shareholders holding one-third of the total number of votes eligible to be cast by all shareholders as of the Record Date, shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business for that Fund.

In the event that a quorum is not present for a Fund, or if there are insufficient votes to approve a Proposal by the time of the Special Meeting, the proxies or their substitutes may propose that the Special Meeting be adjourned, or the chairperson of the Special Meeting may adjourn the Special Meeting, one or more times to permit further solicitation. Any meeting of shareholders may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes properly cast upon the question of adjourning to a meeting at another date and time, whether or not a quorum is present, and the meeting may be held as adjourned within a reasonable time after the date set forth for the original meeting without further notice. The persons named as proxies will also vote upon any other business that may properly come before the Special Meeting, including any adjournment, in accordance with their judgment.

In order for Proposal 1 to be approved, holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of each Fund must vote to approve Proposal 1. The term "majority of the outstanding voting securities," as defined in the Investment Company Act and as used in this Proxy Statement, means the vote of Shareholders owning the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares present at a meeting of Shareholders, if the holders of more than 50% of a fund's outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy at such meeting; or (b) more than 50% of a fund's outstanding voting shares. Abstentions will have the effect of a "vote withheld" on Proposal 1 and are effectively a vote against a proposal.

Proposal 2 requires a plurality of the voting securities of each Fund. This means, for election of a Trustee, that a nominee for election receiving more votes than any other nominee for election will be elected as a Trustee. As there is one nominee for election as a Trustee, the nominee will receive a plurality of the votes cast if there are any votes cast in favor of her election as Trustee. Votes withheld for the nominee will not have an effect on the outcome of such vote.

Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Special Meeting, abstentions will be treated as present. For purposes of determining the approval of a Proposal, abstentions do not count as votes cast. Accordingly, abstentions will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 1 and will not have an effect on the outcome of Proposal 2. There are not expected to be any broker non-votes because no voting securities of the Funds are held by brokers or nominees.

Revocation of Proxy. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to its exercise and vote in person at the Special Meeting. You may revoke your proxy by written notice to the Secretary of the Funds at Wilshire Private Assets Master Fund or Wilshire Private Assets Fund, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456. Merely attending the Special Meeting will not revoke a validly given proxy received before the Special Meeting.

22

Shareholders do not have dissenters' rights of appraisal in connection with the Proposals. If sufficient proxies are not obtained to approve the Proposals, the Board will consider what other action is appropriate and in the best interests of shareholders.

Method and Cost of Proxy Solicitation

Proxies will be solicited by the Funds primarily by mail and email. The solicitation may also include telephone, facsimile, internet, video or oral communication by certain officers of the Funds or officers or employees of Wilshire, who will not be paid for these services.

Wilshire will bear the costs of preparing, printing, and mailing this Proxy Statement and all other costs incurred in connection with the solicitation of written proxies. Wilshire estimates that the cost of preparing, printing and mailing the Proxy Statement and soliciting shareholder proxies will be $500.00.

Financial Statements and Other Information

The Funds will furnish, without charge, a copy of their annual and semi-annual reports to any shareholder upon request. Requests should be directed to Wilshire Private Assets Master Fund or Wilshire Private Assets Fund, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456 (telephone number (855) 520-7711). Those reports are also available on the Funds' website at https://www.wilshire.com/solutions/wilshire-private-assets-fund

Householding of Proxy Materials

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

Please note that only one proxy statement or annual report may be delivered to two or more stockholders who share an address, unless the Funds have received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of this proxy statement or annual report or for instructions as to how to request a separate copy of this document or annual report or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies of this document or annual report are received, stockholders should contact the Funds at the address and phone number set forth below.

Requests should be directed to Wilshire Private Assets Master Fund or Wilshire Private Assets Fund, as applicable, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456 (telephone number: (855) 520-7711). Copies of these documents may also be accessed electronically by means of the Commission's home webpage at www.sec.gov.

23

Future Meetings; Shareholder Proposals

The Funds' agreement and declaration of trust, and by-laws, as each may be amended from time to time, do not provide for annual meetings of shareholders, and the Funds do not currently intend to hold such meetings in the future. Shareholder proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for any subsequent meeting of the Funds' shareholders must be received by the Funds a reasonable period of time prior to any such meeting.

By Order of the Board of Trustees,
/s/ Michael Beattie
