Overview
It is debatable whether 3i should be classified as an investment company or not. It holds a portfolio of mid-market private equity investments, focused on the Business Services, Consumer, Healthcare and Industrial sectors, but its also invests in infrastructure and has a debt management business and some might argue it is more akin to a fund manager than a fund. 3i says its strategic goal is to be a leading international manager of third-party and proprietary capital with three strong investment businesses (private equity / infrastructure / debt management) delivering top quartile cash investment returns over the longer term.
