Financial Entity Graph
A data structure that models the relationships between financial entities — companies, funds, investors, executives, and institutions — as a network of nodes and connections.
A financial entity graph enables AI systems to reason about indirect relationships, ownership structures, board interlocks, and transaction histories that are invisible through standard database queries. By mapping entities as nodes and their relationships as edges, the graph reveals non-obvious connections: shared board members between companies, co-investment patterns between funds, alumni networks linking executives, and ownership chains connecting institutions.
For investment professionals, entity graphs answer questions that flat databases cannot: 'Who in my network has a connection to this fund manager?' or 'Which LPs have co-invested with this GP across multiple funds?' These relationship-based queries are impossible with traditional tabular data but natural in a graph structure.

Ora's analysis draws on Octum's financial entity graph to surface non-obvious connections — shared board members, co-investment histories, overlapping LP relationships — that inform smarter decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a financial entity graph?
A financial entity graph is a data structure that models relationships between companies, funds, investors, and institutions as a network — enabling AI to reason about indirect connections, ownership structures, and transaction histories.
Why are entity graphs important for investment research?
Entity graphs reveal non-obvious relationships — shared board members, co-investment patterns, alumni networks — that are invisible in traditional databases but critical for investment decision-making.
How do financial entity graphs differ from traditional databases?
Traditional databases store entities in flat tables. Entity graphs model relationships as first-class objects, enabling queries about connections, paths, and patterns across the entire network.
