ORC is digital first in its ongoing manager monitoring. Operational risk persists post investment. ORC actively oversees ongoing manager monitoring through a an end-to-end 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.
ORC's Ongoing Monitoring solution is flexible to client requirements and can be utilised for the ongoing monitoring of ODD, IDD and portfolio companies.
Operational risks persist and evolve, demanding constant vigilance from asset allocators in this ever-changing landscape.
ORC actively partners with its clients, not only to monitor identified risks from the initial ODD process but also to assess new risks and remediation activities undertaken by the manager since their identification. This approach provides our clients with a dynamic view of their current risk landscape, highlighting managers actively striving for improvement and those requiring attention.
ORC, in partnership with its strategic partner, offers a specialized and automated tool for providing bespoke questionnaires to managers, scoring responses based on a pre-agreed scoring methodology and offering our clients insights across their entire portfolios.
ORC customizes its solution, incorporating key client requests. We target client-specific focus areas and conduct ongoing monitoring at the frequency desired by clients.
Our approach involves actively monitoring specific remediation milestones, providing trackable progress for both the client and ORC.
ORC enhances our automated approach with a qualitative overlay from our team of specialists, who have conducted thousands of ODDs globally.
This overlay involves reviewing key documents, providing opinions on responses and empowering our ODD specialists to override automated scoring where factors either mitigate or compound identified risks.
Our solutions offer customization, allowing clients to opt for a full managed service or select specific options from our menu of solutions.
ORC actively collaborates with our clients to craft a tailored ongoing monitoring questionnaire, issued to their existing managers at a pre-agreed frequency.
The questionnaire is designed to deliver an up-to-date assessment of the risks identified during the ODD process, while also staying vigilant for new and emerging risks.
