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.
What will your responsibilities be?
- 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.
Your 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.
- Interest in a permanent position, following a successful internship.
