3i Group

What they do

3i is a British private equity group that has billions under management. For over 65 years we've invested in supporting people who start, grow, change and buy businesses; delivering significant power to the people they work with through their knowledge, experience and global network of relationships. Ultimately, we’re driven by their strong sense of values. They form close partnerships with the companies they invest in and they build strong relationships based on integrity, trust and mutual respect. 3i’s ability to create value in its portfolio companies has always been underpinned by the differentiated scale of its international resources, knowledge and networks. However, they also recognise the role of specialist resource in driving superior performance. With a track record in delivering innovative value creation solutions, they have developed a highly-effective approach. Working collaboratively, their aim is simple: to give management the tools they need to build lasting capabilities and competitive advantage.

What they look for

3i aims to "compound value" by investing in mid-market companies with international growth potential. Their core thesis revolves around backing businesses benefiting from long-term structural growth trends (e.g., demographic change, energy transition, digitalization) and helping them scale globally.
