Summer Investment Analyst (San Francisco)

Investment Analyst Opportunity At Orbis Investment Management (U.S.), L.P.

Orbis Investment Management (U.S.), L.P. is based in San Francisco and represents the U.S. efforts of the global firm, including research, investment management and client-facing efforts. We have a small and nimble team of ~ 15 professionals. Investment Analysts conduct fundamental, bottom-up research and identify investment opportunities based on risk and return prospects over a multi-year horizon. Our philosophy is to invest in shares that trade substantially below our assessment of the company's intrinsic value and then to hold these shares over the long-term. Being an Investment Analyst at Orbis is not for everyone. The Orbis approach depends on thinking differently. You must embrace individual accountability and flourish within a flat management structure that emphasizes contribution over seniority. Our Investment Analysts are tasked with making investment recommendations in their area of specialization and are evaluated based on the long-term performance of their investment decisions. Investment Analysts maintain individual paper portfolios and are objectively measured and rewarded based on their individual performance. As a Summer Investment Analyst, you will focus on a specific sector of the market and your summer could culminate in you recommending a stock for purchase in our funds. During your internship, we will provide you tools and mentorship to help you succeed, but the rest will be up to you. You will report directly to the Portfolio Manager/Head of US Investment Team for Orbis Investment Management (U.S.), L.P. This role is based in San Francisco, but you will have the opportunity to collaborate with other Orbis professionals worldwide. Depending upon your performance, this internship could lead to a full-time position after you graduate.
