Irth’s private equity strategy targets companies with strong cash flows, durable competitive advantages, and unique business models. We focus on businesses poised to benefit from secular macro trends, leveraging strategic insights and operational expertise to unlock value, drive sustainable growth, and generate long-term returns.
Irth seeks controlling or significant minority stakes in private companies and, selectively, in public companies where we can drive strategic value. The firm also forms special purpose vehicles, operating companies, and joint sponsor partnerships to execute targeted investments across areas of focus.
We are focused on making a limited number of large-scale investments and believe that speed in decision-making is a critical competitive advantage. Our strategy is to generate investment returns by structurally improving the strategic position, competitiveness and profitability of our investments, rather than primarily relying on financial leverage.
