"Orbis International Equity pursues bottom-up value investing across global markets, holding Samsung, Genmab, Nintendo, Cemex, and Magnum. Their detailed Magnum analysis exemplifies the approach - the world's largest ice cream company trades at 14x earnings post-demerger despite strong competitive moats and operational improvement potential as a standalone business."
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.
