Listing of ORBIS Global Equity Fund
The Bermuda Stock Exchange (The BSX) is pleased to announce that the $840 million Orbis Global Equity Fund has been listed on The BSX, joining Orbis Optimal ($940 million) and Orbis Leveraged ($411 million). All three Orbis funds were launched on 1 January 1990. Since then they have achieved annualised net returns in US dollars of 14.2%, 15.1% and 19.5%, respectively. Thanks to these returns and their risk management, all three funds have been awarded the top rating of AAA by Fund Research Ltd. Only four other international equity funds, out of more than 300 considered, have this rating. The funds are managed by Orbis Investment Management Limited, which is based in Hamilton, Bermuda. Orbis also advises two limited partnerships, based on Orbis Optimal and Orbis Leveraged, which serve US investors.
