Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Orbis Investment Management (U.S.), L.P.?
Day-to-day portfolio management is led by the firm's investment team, which operates under the oversight of the broader Orbis global investment committee. Specific named portfolio managers are not publicly listed for the U.S. entity, but Orbis's chief investment officer historically has been based at the Bermuda headquarters. The U.S. arm follows the same value-oriented investment process as the global funds (per public record).
How does Orbis generate proprietary deal flow?
Orbis relies on bottom-up fundamental research conducted by its global investment team. The firm screens broadly across global markets and uses direct company meetings and financial statement analysis. It does not publicly disclose a proprietary deal-sourcing network or co-investment partnerships.
Is Orbis structured as a family office or an asset manager?
Orbis Investment Management (U.S.), L.P. is registered as an investment advisor with the U.S. SEC and operates as a traditional asset manager. It is part of a global fund complex, not a single- or multi-family office. It manages mutual funds and institutional accounts.
What investment stages does Orbis typically target?
Orbis focuses on public equity and fixed-income securities—specifically listed equities and bonds. It does not target venture capital or private equity stages. Its strategies cover large-cap and mid-cap value stocks globally.
Which sectors does Orbis explicitly avoid?
Orbis does not publicly list sectors it avoids. However, its value-oriented mandate may reduce exposure to highly speculative industries or IPOs. The firm's public filings show holdings across financials, industrials, and consumer goods (per SEC filings).
How is Orbis related to Allan Gray?
Orbis is the global investment arm of Allan Gray Limited, the South African asset management firm founded by Allan Gray in 1973. Allan Gray Limited owns Orbis, with the latter managing international client assets. The relationship is structural: Orbis manages the non-South African portion of Allan Gray's capital.
Does Orbis maintain philanthropic structures?
The Allan and Gill Gray Philanthropies, funded by the founders' wealth, operates independently from Orbis Investment Management. The U.S. entity itself is a for-profit investment manager, not a charitable vehicle.
