Founded in 1989, Orbis is a specialized global investment firm with C$46 billion in assets under management as at 30 Sep 2023. Our core skill is bottom-up stock selection using a fundamental, long-term and contrarian investment philosophy, and our primary offering includes four long-only equity strategies: Global (MSCI ACWI), International (MSCI ACWI ex-USA), Emerging Markets and Japan.

Our firm is structured to reinforce our investment philosophy and align our interests with those of our clients. The controlling interest in Orbis is held by a philanthropic foundation established by our founder, which will allow the firm to remain privately owned in perpetuity. We view private ownership as critical to enable contrarian thinking and to ensure we have the freedom to act entirely in the long-term interests of our clients. Orbis’ management and owners also invest in the same pools and pay the same fees as our clients. This alignment of interests is reinforced by our unique refundable performance fees through which we refund fees to investors during periods of underperformance.
