"Orbis is capitalizing on a massive valuation dislocation in Asia by holding deeply discounted consumer and real estate giants like Jardine Matheson alongside high-conviction growth plays like Sea Limited."
Executive Summary
In their Q3 2025 letter, Orbis highlights a compelling structural investment opportunity in Asian domestic consumer equities, driven by a long-term transition away from export reliance. The Strategy holds a combined 4% position in the historic Jardine Matheson group and its key units (DFI Retail, Hongkong Land, and Astra International), citing resilient fundamentals, high dividend yields, and depressed valuations (e.g., Hongkong Land trading at 50% of book value). This value basket is complemented by a 2% growth position in Sea Limited, which holds leading positions in Southeast Asian digital services. Orbis sees current market fears as a temporary sentiment headwind, drawing parallels to the early stages of Japan's multi-year corporate reform rally.
