What is the OCIO Directory?

The OCIO Directory is a free public resource from OCIO Analytics for researching named outsourced chief investment officer providers.

It organizes information from public SEC Form ADV filings and related brochures into common fields, making it easier to establish a factual baseline across firms before requesting proposals or conducting deeper due diligence.

The directory brings commonly requested firm details together so researchers can spot similarities, differences, and questions worth pursuing.

01 / SCALE

Regulatory AUM and client counts

Review disclosed regulatory assets under management alongside reported client counts to establish an initial view of each firm.

02 / MARKET

Locations and client types

See where a provider operates and the institutional client categories represented in its public regulatory disclosures.

03 / ORGANIZATION

Leadership and ownership

Understand key leadership and ownership details that can inform questions about accountability, continuity, and alignment.

04 / ECONOMICS

Private funds and fee disclosures

Surface disclosed private-fund activity and fee information for more focused follow-up during provider diligence.

How to use the directory

From market scan to better diligence.

Use the directory to organize the beginning of the research process—not to shortcut the fiduciary work that follows.

Find named providers

Search the public directory for OCIO firms already under consideration or use it to begin mapping the market.

Compare common fields

Review standardized public information across firms so early comparisons start from a more consistent baseline.

Build the diligence agenda

Turn what you find into sharper questions for current filings, proposals, references, interviews, and finalist evaluation.

Important diligence context

A starting point—not a scorecard.

The OCIO Directory does not rank, endorse, or recommend providers. Public disclosure data can clarify the market, but it cannot determine which firm is right for a specific institution.

A defensible selection still requires current source-document review and direct evaluation of the proposed team, investment capabilities, performance, fees, conflicts, governance fit, service model, and references.
