Orbis Investments Manager Seeks Stocks That Benefit From Unlikely Events

Graeme Forster, a money manager at Orbis Investments, selects stocks of companies that trade at modest valuations and could increase in value if specific low-probability events take place. The strategy targets businesses positioned to benefit from scenarios such as sustained high inflation or a recovery in movie theater attendance.

Forster looks for reasonably priced companies whose earnings or market positions would improve under those conditions. The method relies on identifying undervalued securities that carry limited downside if the events do not materialize.

Investments manages assets using this framework across multiple sectors. The firm applies the same valuation discipline regardless of prevailing economic forecasts.
