We are a global firm with offices across eight countries, over 400 employees and more than $30 billion in assets under management. But those numbers don't define Orbis. It's our values, how we do things day‑by‑day, and how we add value for our clients that define us. Our investment philosophy is fundamental, long‑term and contrarian. As contrarian investors, we aim to take a different perspective, and this filters into everything we do.

To invest differently, you need to think differently. This is encouraged by having teams of people with different backgrounds, experiences and ways of thinking.

Candidates will be assessed for suitability throughout the period of the initial apprenticeship. Strong performers could be supported to progress to higher levels of apprenticeship standards to work towards becoming a chartered accountant.
