Orbis Wealth Management

Orbis Wealth Management

Orbis Wealth Management was established as a multi-family office serving ultra-high-net-worth families seeking institutional-caliber investment management without the burden of building an internal office. Led by CEO and Managing Partner D. Scott MacKenzie, the firm operates from New York and positions itself as a fiduciary aggregator, pooling family capital to gain entry into private markets and specialized fund structures. The underlying wealth of the families served is not publicly disclosed. The firm deploys capital across a diversified mix of private equity, real estate, hedge funds, and private credit strategies. Orbis functions primarily as a fund-of-funds and direct co-investment platform, relying on a vetted network of external managers rather than in-house deal origination teams. The real estate exposure spans commercial and residential assets, typically accessed through operating partners. The firm's geographic focus is North America, though it gains international exposure indirectly through its fund investments. Specific portfolio companies or fund-level commitments are not publicly detailed, consistent with the private nature of the families it represents. Team size and total assets under advisement are not publicly disclosed, reflecting the firm's deliberately low profile. Orbis does not publicize adjacent philanthropic vehicles, club memberships, or structured co-investment circles, though such structures are common at firms of this type. The firm's regulatory filings are limited, and its operational history is documented primarily through MacKenzie's public record and the firm's own communications. What structurally distinguishes Orbis is its pure aggregation model: it operates as a capital conduit, where multiple families collectively access institutional share classes and minimums they could not typically reach individually. This outsourced-CIO approach contrasts with single-family offices that build dedicated direct-investment teams, offering a governance-light solution for families that want exposure without origination overhead.
