We merge an event-driven strategy with private equity discipline to unlock value in undervalued and undermanaged companies. Our constructivist playbook drives operational excellence, sharpens governance, and enables strategic realignments—including transformative take-private transactions
By maintaining a focused approach, we prioritize quality over quantity, investing in businesses with strong fundamentals, sustainable competitive moats, and compelling growth potential.
This results in a concentrated portfolio of high-conviction investments and calculated idiosyncratic risks.

Significant co-investment opportunity
Irth enhances its strategic long-only investment portfolio with a dynamic, systematic alpha driven short book, comprising 50-75 single name shorts. Our low-net strategy targets companies facing structural challenges—losing competitive edge, shrinking moats, and eroding market positions. Irth turns market complacency into alpha—shorting companies that are operationally stagnant, fading from market relevance that drive persistent underperformance and value destruction.
Irth’s proprietary system of descriptive and predictive algorithms consumes live data to monitor global markets, identify inefficiencies, and isolate potential opportunities.
Designed to foster adaptive learning, complementing and supporting the diverse competencies of the investment team
Irth targets US public companies within the $2 – 20Bn market capitalization range, focusing on opportunities that offer an optimal balance between growth potential and stability.
