Orbis Investments

Orbis brings Australian investors the expertise of a team of over 60 investment professionals located around the world, allowing clients to benefit from a truly international perspective from a firm whose results have stood the test of time.

At Orbis, we know there’s value in being different. By thinking differently than the crowd and focusing on the long term, we can reap the rewards that average investors typically miss out on. Our flagship Global Equity Strategy has significantly outperformed the benchmark for over 25 years by doing just that.

There’s Value in Being Different

We view the world and the market through a contrarian lens; understanding that often the best long-term investment value can be found in areas of the market out of favour with most investors. Our hunt for these ideas takes us away from the crowd, resulting in Funds that can look very different from their benchmarks. This doesn’t worry us – we are comfortable being uncomfortable because we are confident that this approach will create long term rewards for our clients, as it has done for over 25 years.

It Pays to be Patient

Our nearly three decades of investing has taught us that it pays to be patient. There’s a lot of short-term noise in the market but we ignore it, staying focused on a company’s intrinsic value. It can take up to five years or even longer for our views to play out. But as long as we have conviction, we stand by it.

We are Seeking to Find Hidden Value

We dig deep into the fundamentals of companies to find value others miss. We don’t start with a ‘top-down’ view of the market or specific sectors to find the best ideas; we stay focused on the detail.

Australian and New Zealand investors can access this deep global equity expertise through an Australian-registered Fund.

Should you be a value or growth investor?

The idea that stocks should be divided into growth and yield categories diverts us from fundamentals. Intrinsic value eventually manifests in higher cash flow, whether or not share price appreciation anticipates it.

Macro trends are almost impossible to forecast, and picking undervalued shares with an eye to the long term is a better way. But often, stock selection requires resilience in the face of criticism.
