"Bireme Capital runs a concentrated global value strategy that identifies and exploits behavioral biases such as availability, representativeness, and anchoring to avoid value traps and generate market-beating alpha."
Bireme Capital is a boutique, value-oriented investment firm founded by MIT classmates Ryan Ballentine (CEO) and Evan Tindell (CIO), who bring a combined three decades of buy-side experience. The firm's flagship strategy, Fundamental Value, is a concentrated global value strategy that seeks to identify and exploit common investor behavioral biases to find mispriced public equities. Since its inception in 2016, the strategy has significantly outperformed both the broader market (S&P 500) and other value investing benchmarks, achieving an annualized net return of 19.5% through October 2025. Bireme's investment process is heavily influenced by the CIO's past professional poker-playing experience, applying lessons such as focusing strictly on current valuation rather than past costs (the past is irrelevant), waiting patiently for highly advantageous situations (doing nothing is often best), and concentrating capital on high-conviction ideas where there is a material edge (when you bet, go big). The portfolio typically maintains 15-20 long positions with initial position sizes of 5-15%, operating with a gross long exposure of 70-150% and gross short exposure of 0-50%. The firm targets double-digit internal rates of return (IRRs) using conservative assumptions, managing a total AUM of approximately $100 million in its long/short structure.
