Orbis International Equity follows a bottom-up investment approach focused on identifying businesses trading below intrinsic value rather than making macro predictions. The fund holds a diversified collection of companies with distinct economic drivers including Samsung, Genmab, Nintendo, Cemex, and Magnum. The detailed case study of Magnum illustrates their investment philosophy - the world's largest ice cream company trades at 14x forward earnings following its Unilever demerger, creating a forced-seller dynamic. The manager believes Magnum's competitive advantages including brand equity, cold-chain distribution networks, and market leadership are undervalued by the market. As a standalone entity, Magnum can optimize operations with dedicated procurement, focused sales, and tailored supply chains. The fund expects margin improvement as input costs normalize and sees growth opportunities through freezer cabinet reinvestment and innovation. This exemplifies their approach of finding businesses with durable competitive moats trading below fair value due to temporary dislocations rather than fundamental weaknesses.
Build a portfolio of businesses whose long-term value is driven primarily by bottom-up, company-specific factors rather than macro predictions, focusing on idiosyncratic opportunities where research provides an edge.
The manager expects differentiated investment returns to be generated from collections of differentiated businesses with distinct, idiosyncratic drivers over time, despite short-term event-driven market influences.

Orbis targets mispricings in international equities while avoiding overvalued US markets. The portfolio focuses on underappreciated companies like Nintendo (trading at one-fifth Disney's valuation despite similar fan bases), FirstService (property management with recurring revenues), and Smurfit Westrock (merger synergies opportunity). International markets offer better valuations and less competition for stock selection. |

The strategy allocates 8% to Korean banks with zero benchmark weight, expecting low double-digit long-term returns. Japan remains overweight at 19% after successful decade-long transformation. |

| TICKER | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|
| MAGS.L | Following its recent demerger from Unilever, the business now trades publicly as a standalone company. It is the largest ice cream company in the world, with leading positions across many markets, but in our view the current share price reflects the technical dislocations of the separation more than the quality of the underlying business. The demerger appears to have created a classic forced-seller problem. Some former Unilever shareholders who had received Magnum shares may have decided that the new company didn't fit their investment mandates for one reason or another, such as a different benchmark or the lack of a dividend until 2027. Businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong cash generation, and category leadership should not, in general, trade at just 14 times forward earnings. Under Unilever, the ice cream business appears to have been under-optimised, and in some cases managed within a broader system not designed for frozen products. As a standalone company, Magnum has an opportunity to build a more appropriate operating model with dedicated procurement, a more focused sales force, a supply chain tailored to frozen distribution, and a cleaner approach to capital allocation. In our view, Magnum is far more resilient and has a much stronger 'moat' than the market is currently giving it credit for—and we believe the fundamentals are likely to improve from here. |
