INSIGHTS, THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS

An innovative and progressive ODD Report solution

As our three-year anniversary fast approaches, we have been reflecting on a busy journey delivering a wide range of ODD services. We continue our vision of liberating ODD across all asset classes (from long only to crypto) and to all participants (from Allocators, Investment Managers, Service Providers, and even sports teams). It is this experience, and what we have learned from it, that has compelled us to roll out a pioneering ODD Report solution for the Investment Manager (“IM”) community at large.

The Challenges

For the IM:
  • Significant internal effort is required to manage multiple ODD enquiries that include many duplicate questions
  • The current process can be repetitive, time-consuming and inefficient
  • SOC / ISO type reports, on their own, are unlikely to fulfil the ODD requirements of Allocators
