Job Description:

At Orbis we take a different approach:

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 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 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 4.1% per year over 32 years.

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

As an Investment Analyst at Orbis, you will have the opportunity to develop your stock picking skills in an inclusive work environment. Career development opportunities will depend on your individual talent, progression, and circumstances.

Why Orbis?

Culture: We are committed to our Core Values. We encourage intellectual curiosity and individualism as well as collaboration across different areas of the business. We seek to hear our people’s voices – whether quiet or loud. Sharing ideas and challenging the status quo are commonplace.

Autonomy: While guidance and support are provided, team members own their work and projects.

Growth opportunities: We support our people in continuous learning and development.

Agile environment: We are committed to providing our people with a work environment that balances their personal needs, commitments, and interests with the needs of their team and the needs of our clients.

Philanthropy: Our people can contribute to society in a unique and personal way, through various philanthropy opportunities and programmes.

What will your responsibilities be?

1. Conduct in-depth bottom-up fundamental research to evaluate investment ideas.
2. Articulate your views in reports and investment team meetings.
3. Maintain a notional paper portfolio of your best investment ideas. This will objectively measure your stock picking skill and serve as a valuable development tool.
4. Monitor and analyse existing portfolio positions.
5. Outstanding personal ethics and judgement.
6. Intellectual curiosity and the ability to think differently from the crowd.
7. Excellent academic performance in any subject. No prior finance experience is necessary.
8. Strong self-motivation and ability to thrive in an unstructured environment.
9. Analytical thinker.
10. Interest in either a permanent position or an internship with potential to move to a permanent position.
