Investment Analyst Internship 2026-2027

About Orbis

• Accessible investing: We believe investing should be available to everyone—from big private or institutional investors to everyday investors seeking financial freedom.
• Privately owned: We have no short-term shareholder pressure, allowing us to focus on clients’ long-term interests.
• Independent decision-making: We go against the herd to identify hidden and missed value, applying our strategy rigorously and consistently over time.

Our flagship global strategy has outperformed its benchmark by an average of 4.1% (net of fees) per year over 36 years.

We recruit exceptional people with intellectual curiosity, strong analytical skills, outstanding judgement, and a proven track record of excellence and growth in their chosen field. Finance or investing experience is not necessary to be successful.
