We are a global firm with offices in 8 countries around the world, around 400 employees globally and almost $40 billion in assets under management. What defines our Orbis family is not those numbers, but how we do things day-by-day, how we add value for our clients, and the values that we live and work by. Our investment philosophy is fundamental, long-term and contrarian. As contrarian investors, we aim to take a different perspective and this filters into everything we do. To invest differently, you need to think differently. And this means having teams of people with different backgrounds, experiences and ways of thinking.
