Investment Analyst Internship - Information Technology Sector

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 4.0% per year over 35 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. Finance or investing experience isn’t necessary to be successful with us. For this internship, we are particularly interested in candidates with a strong technical background – engineering, physics, computer science, or a related discipline – who want to apply that depth to investing in information technology companies. You bring the technical understanding; we will teach you finance. As an Investment Analyst at Orbis, you will have the opportunity to develop your stock picking skills, with a focus on the global information technology value chain – from chip designers and foundries to equipment, materials, and software – in an inclusive work environment. Career development opportunities will depend on your individual talent, progression, and interests.

Responsibilities

• Conduct in-depth bottom-up fundamental research to evaluate investment ideas.
• Apply your technical background to develop differentiated insights across the information technology industry – judging not just whether a technology works, but who will capture the value it creates.
• Articulate your views in reports and investment meetings (in both team specific and firm-wide settings).
• Participate in meetings with investor relations and management teams of companies under research.
• Candidates who convert to permanent positions will maintain a notional paper portfolio of their best investment ideas. This will objectively measure stock picking skill and serve as a valuable development tool.

Qualifications & Experience

• Excellent academic performance in a technical discipline such as engineering, physics, computer science, materials science, or mathematics, for example: A first-class degree (predicted or achieved) at undergraduate level; or A 2:1 degree alongside exceptional extracurricular achievement or two or more years of full-time work experience.
• Specific prior finance experience is not necessary.
• Your mindset Outstanding personal ethics and judgement.
• Intellectual curiosity and the ability to think differently from the crowd.
• Strong self-motivation and ability to thrive in an unstructured environment.
• Analytical thinker.
• Willingness to translate technical depth into commercial and investment judgement.

Application deadline: 9th October 2026 at 17:30 BST.

About Us

We are a global firm with offices across eight countries, over 400 employees and more than $50 billion in assets under management. But those numbers don't define Orbis. It's our values, how we do things day-by-day, and how we add value for our clients that define us. 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. This is encouraged by having teams of people with different backgrounds, experiences and ways of thinking.
