Investment Analyst Internship - Information Technology Sector

We believe the difference is made by the things we do differently. 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 intellectual curiosity, strong analytical skills, outstanding judgment, and a track record of excellence. Finance or investing experience isn’t necessary for success. 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.

Mindset

• Outstanding personal ethics and judgment.
• Intellectual curiosity and the ability to think differently from the crowd.
• Strong self-motivation and ability to thrive in an unstructured environment.
• Analytical thinking.
• Willingness to translate technical depth into commercial and investment judgment.
• Interest in a permanent position following a successful internship.
