About Orbis At Orbis we take a different approach We believe investing should be accessible to all, from big private or institutional investors to everyday investors whose wealth and financial freedom we hope to build. We are privately owned, so that there is no short-term shareholder pressure, and we can make sure we always do the right thing for clients’ long-term interest. We are willing to go against the herd in our investment decisions, looking for hidden and missed value and having the conviction of applying our strategy rigorously and consistently over time. We believe it is the things we do differently that make the difference: our flagship global strategy has outperformed its benchmark by an average of 4.0% per year over 33 years. The same applies to our recruitment decisions.

Find out more about us at www.orbis.com/careers. About Us We are a global firm with offices across eight countries, over 400 employees and more than $40 billion in assets under management. But those numbers don't define Orbis. It's our values, how we do things day-by-day, and how we add value for our clients that define us. Our investment philosophy is fundamental, long-term and contrarian. As contrarian investors, we aim to take a different perspective, and this filters into everything we do. To invest differently, you need to think differently. This is encouraged by having teams of people with different backgrounds, experiences and ways of thinking.
