Private Equity

How can 3i be listed on the London Stock Exchange and still be called Private Equity?143.176.47.155 (talk) 20:14, 26 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Because the company, which is listed, makes private equity investments in other companies. Dormskirk (talk) 16:37, 17 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Update to current portfolio list

Hi, my name is Imogen Harvey, I work in the Communications team at 3i Group plc. I'd like to request a factual edit to the list of current investments on the 3i Group Wikipedia page and in accordance with Wikipedia's COI guidelines I cannot make this edit myself. Please remove Agent Provocateur from the list of current investments as 3i Group plc is no longer invested in this company. ^[1] If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to get in touch here or on my talk page.Imogenharvey3i (talk) 10:15, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Proposed factual updates

Latest comment: 4 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I am a member of 3i’s Communications Team. I am therefore suggesting the below factual updates using a COI Edit Template.

1)Text to be updated:

Opening sentence: 'venture capital' updated to 'infrastructure investment'

Reason for change: We have not invested in venture capital for many years. This would bring the description in line with the 'Services' field in the infobox.

References: 3i Group plc's audited accounts - p3 (p3 of PDF) 3i Group AR25

2) Text to be updated:

Current investments section: 'ACR Capital Reinsurance', 'VNU Business Media' and 'Weener Plastic Packaging' moved to 'Former investments' section.

Reason for change: These are no longer current investments.

References:

ACR Capital Reinsurance - 3i Group plc's audited results - p28 3ig-fy20-press-release.pdf

VNU Business Media - De Persgroep NV Acquires VNU Media B.V. Mergr, 16 May 2012

Weener Plastic Packaging - 3i Group plc's audited accounts (refered to as 'WP') - p12 3i Group AR25

Text to add these investments to the 'Former investments' section:

ACR, purchased 2006, sold 2020

VNU Business Media, purchased 2006, sold 2012

Weener Plastic Packaging, purchased 2015, sold 2024
