Our ODD Solutions

Operational Due Diligence


We partner with multiple asset owners, serving as their ODD partner and leveraging the benefits of our industry-leading ODD framework. ORC adopts partnership approaches that encompass fully outsourced models, co-sourced models and providing behind-the-scenes support for in-house teams.

 

In collaboration with our clients, ORC actively safeguards their interests by identifying operational risks at the point of investment, within the full spectrum of liquid and illiquid asset classes, allowing for regional flavour and manager maturity, while maintaining the integrity of our rigorous due diligence process.

Ongoing Monitoring


Operational risk persists post investment. ORC actively manages ongoing manager monitoring through a fully managed solution that combines sophisticated automation with a qualitative overlay from our senior team of highly experienced ODD practitioners.

 

Our fully remote and highly automated assessment can eliminate the need for periodic onsite due diligence meetings with managers, thereby significantly enhancing our clients’ capacity to focus on value-add activities.


Our Ongoing Monitoring solution is versatile and can be used to monitor ODD, IDD and portfolio companies on an ongoing basis.

ODD Advisory Partner


Lean ODD teams should not have to choose between retaining ownership of their process and accessing senior expertise when it matters most.


ORC’s ODD Advisory Partner solution gives internal teams flexible access to experienced, partner level support for complex investments, unfamiliar structures, new asset classes and periods of increased demand. It can also reduce key person risk by keeping an ORC partner familiar with the client’s process, portfolio, prior findings and governance expectations, ready to provide continuity when needed.


The client remains in control, while ORC provides judgement, independent challenge and dependable cover without requiring permanent headcount or full outsourcing.

End-to-End Due Diligence


Due diligence is most effective when the relevant disciplines are coordinated rather than completed in isolation.


ORC’s End-to-End Due Diligence solution gives clients access to operational, investment, financial, commercial, tax and legal due diligence across both fund and direct investments through a single relationship. We coordinate the required specialist expertise, helping clients avoid fragmented provider models and ensuring that findings, escalation points and recommendations are integrated and aligned.


The model is flexible. Clients can commission a complete end-to-end review, select only the workstreams required for a particular fund, manager, transaction or direct investment, or incorporate their preferred advisers into the wider solution. ORC remains the central point of coordination, with the scope built around the investment, risk profile and client’s internal capabilities.
