Summer Investment Analyst (Hong Kong)

About Orbis

Orbis is a privately owned investment firm managing over US$45 billion of assets, with offices across four continents and over 400 staff. We have been creating value for our clients since inception in 1990. Our investment philosophy is fundamental, long-term and contrarian. We are uniquely structured to encourage bold but considered decisions, even in times of stress. As a firm, our business model requires us to deliver meaningful outperformance to our clients.

At Orbis we take a different approach :

We are privately owned by our partners and the founding family’s philanthropic foundation. There is no short-term shareholder pressure, and we make sure we always act in our clients’ long-term interests.

We have a refundable performance fee structure to maintain a clear alignment of interests with our clients. We refund performance fees paid when we underperform so our success depends on creating and preserving value for clients.

We believe contrarian investment decisions are best made by individuals, not groups. Our performance attribution system measures each individual analyst’s ability, so only outperformers direct client capital.

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 : all of our funds have outperformed their benchmarks since inception.

The same applies to our recruitment decisions. We are not overly focused on prior finance or investing experience. We are looking for exceptional people with a combination of intellectual curiosity, strong analytical skills, sound judgement, and a track record of excellence in their chosen field.
