Frequently asked questions

What makes EG Metrics different from traditional investment analytics firms?
We present a new type of insight that can help anyone interested in making smarter investment choices. We evaluate organizational effectiveness, including firm culture, controls, and business model, to spot risks that are often overlooked. We analyze behavioral signals from stakeholders closest to the organization that send early risk warnings long before they show up in performance reports. It's more than just data; it's decision intelligence.

Example: ORCA detected issues at a top-ranked bond manager 12 months before a $120B client exit, while traditional metrics still looked strong.
Who can use ORCA?
ORCA empowers anyone in and around the investment industry, including global pension funds, regional RIAs, individual investors, asset owners, advisers, and consultants. We help evaluate the organizations, people, and processes responsible for managing capital

Example: Beta clients range from $1B regional RIAs to $700B multi-manager institutions, showcasing ORCA’s ability to deliver value across every segment of the market.
Is ORCA only for large institutions, or can smaller firms use it too?
ORCA is built to scale. Whether you're an institutional allocator or a boutique firm, our platform adapts to your needs, helping you streamline due diligence and protect capital at any size.
How does EG Metrics gather and process its data?
ORCA integrates a wide range of trusted data sources including but not limited to: public filings and regulatory records (ADV, etc.), professional social media, market watch sites, firm websites, proprietary datasets, and third-party providers, capturing data on over 20,000 investment firms and funds from more than 20 years of history. To maintain quality and consistency, ORCA applies advanced AI and proven data management techniques to clean, standardize, and reconcile inputs from different systems. Once normalized, the data is transformed through 48 machine learning models trained to identify patterns, anomalies, and early warning signals of operational risk - without relying solely on self-reported inputs. ORCA combines behavioral signals with operational metrics, providing a more objective, multi-dimensional view of risk.

Example: ORCA flagged elevated Culture and Controls risks at WAMCo in December 2023 , eight months before public charges and twelve months before investor withdrawals.
Can EG Metrics help with regulatory compliance?
Yes. While ORCA is not a compliance platform, it is designed to strengthen fiduciary oversight, which forms the foundation of every investment compliance program. Our insights help you anticipate internal breakdowns before they escalate, making it easier to meet regulatory expectations, respond to inquiries, and defend your processes with data-driven insights.

Example: One institutional beta client used ORCA to exit a manager relationship months before a public investigation, avoiding both financial loss and reputational damage.
Does ORCA have entity name matching?
Yes. Name matching is central to connecting disparate data sources and consolidating firm identities for accurate analysis. Without it, filings under subsidiaries can appear fragmented or misattributed.

ORCA employs advanced entity resolution to match and unify firm names across thousands of structured and unstructured data sources. This ensures that regulatory filings, employee reviews, fund data, and public records are correctly tied to the right investment manager organization. Accurate name matching eliminates duplication, reduces false positives, and gives investment professionals a clear, consolidated view of organizational risk.

Example: A global allocator avoided duplicating exposure across affiliated funds by using ORCA’s entity resolution, uncovering hidden links that were invisible in raw filings.
