IHC attracted criticism and market scrutiny after its market capitalization increased dramatically during its transformation into a diversified holding company. Commentators questioned the effect of related-party asset transfers, the pricing and disclosure of transactions involving Royal Group, limited share-trading activity, and the extent to which the quoted valuation reflected freely traded market demand. These issues were discussed as governance and transparency concerns rather than as a definitive finding of wrongdoing.
