3i Group is an investment company specializing in Private Equity and Infrastructure. They generate attractive returns for shareholders and co-investors by investing in these asset classes. They take a long-term, responsible approach, aiming to drive sustainable growth in their investee companies. 3i's Private Equity business is funded principally from their own capital, focusing on generating attractive capital returns. Their Infrastructure business manages assets on behalf of third-party investors and 3i’s proprietary capital, aiming to generate capital returns while earning fund management fees and portfolio income. The firm adopts a thematic approach to origination and portfolio construction, backing businesses benefiting from structural trends that support long-term sustainable growth. 3i's business model focuses on compounding value by investing in mid-market companies with strong growth potential. They minimize the dilution of capital returns by covering operating costs with income from the portfolio and fund management fees generated by their Infrastructure business. Their proprietary capital allows for a medium to long-term investment horizon, enabling them to compound their capital value through conviction in their best investments. Careful portfolio construction, focusing on resilience across market cycles and targeting sectors and regions with deep expertise, strong networks, and a proven track record are important to the firm. The strategy is adaptable to market shifts, regulatory changes, and broader societal and environmental trends. Investment opportunities are screened against their Responsible Investment policy, and sustainability risks and opportunities are assessed throughout the investment and portfolio management processes. The company has been a signatory to the UN Principles of Responsible Investment since 2011.
