Job description

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 4.1% (net of fees) per year over 36 years.

The same applies to our recruitment decisions. We are looking for exceptional people with a combination of intellectual curiosity, strong analytical skills, outstanding judgement, and a track record of excellence and growth whatever their chosen field. Finance or investing experience isn’t necessary to be successful with us!
