Orbis Investment Management (Hong Kong) Limited is based in Hong Kong and responsible for research and investment management in Global Emerging Markets. We are actively growing from our current base of approx. 10 professionals.

The Opportunity

As an Investment Analyst you would conduct fundamental, bottom-up research and identify equity investment opportunities based on long-term return prospects. Orbis’ investment philosophy is to buy and hold shares when they are priced substantially below our assessment of their intrinsic value.

• Performing rigorous, bottom-up analysis, using both quantitative and qualitative approaches
• Developing an independent, fact-driven perspective on individual stocks
• Meeting with senior management teams of the companies under research
• Authoring written reports that clearly articulate an investment case, including the appropriate supporting evidence and quantitative analysis
• Recommending stocks for consideration in the funds and debating stock recommendations with other Orbis investment professionals

Qualifications

• Track record of exceptional academic achievement
• 2-5 years of relevant work experience (e.g. investment research, private equity, M&A)
• Strong interest in business and investing
• Independent thinking
• Humility
