The Team

The Client Team has more than 90 people in it, across 6 global locations. We are responsible for building and servicing our retail and institutional client base. In order to earn clients’ trust and confidence, team members are required to develop in-depth knowledge about various parts of the Orbis business, be in a position to educate clients about our firm, and to communicate with clients in detail.

The company

We are a global investment firm with offices in 8 countries around the world, 400 employees globally and over $30 billion in assets under management.

Our investment philosophy is fundamental, long-term and contrarian. We aim to take a different perspective and this filters into everything we do. To add value to clients, we believe you need to invest differently, and to do this, you need to think differently. To us, this means having teams of people with different backgrounds, experiences, and ways of thinking.
