To invest successfully, you need to have in-depth industry knowledge.  You can only choose the best deals and add the most value when you understand the forces of change and have a view on future direction.

At 3i, each of our investment professionals is an expert in one or more industry sectors – but we’re not content to let expertise rest in small pockets around the organization.  All experts in a particular sector work together across business lines and national borders, to ensure that their insights can be applied in every location, to the benefit of all our investments.

Our sector knowledge helps us to see over the horizon, while our ‘one team’ approach delivers expertise when and where it’s needed:

• We invest in companies at different stages of growth and understand emerging trends as well as mature markets.
• We’re in three continents and can develop multi-faceted relationships with the world’s leading international companies.
• Our sector teams share information and analyze market developments, so we’re continually updating our sector view.
• When you understand where a market is heading, you know where to invest.
