ODD Ready


Failing an ODD can result in the loss of institutional capital, with asset managers not always receiving feedback on what went wrong.

 

ORC, as an ODD expert, actively leverages over 100 years of experience within our senior team. We partner with asset managers, preparing them to successfully pass institutional-grade ODD by efficiently aligning them with global best practices.
