We’re in business to make excellent investments and to deliver exceptional returns.

Balance and energy are key at 3i. Our success depends upon the right balance of entrepreneurialism and professionalism, combining the flair and flexibility of the private equity industry with the discipline and rigor of a FTSE 100 company. We have a strong heritage, built on a pioneering spirit, deep respect for our colleagues and a clear focus on what’s best for the future success of the business.

Scale is a special characteristic of 3i. We're big in terms of our resources, our financial strength and our global reach but, with less than a thousand people, 3i is a place with an intimate feel. It’s a company with a "one room" feel despite our diversity and geographical breadth.

Our "Best team for the job" approach, bringing together the right people from across the business for deals and projects, thrives on a culture of professionalism and respect.
