Sectors

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 gives us a wide perspective, while our ‘one team’ approach delivers expertise when and where it’s needed:

  • because we invest in companies at different stages of growth, we understand emerging trends as well as mature markets
  • because we operate across four continents, we can develop multi-faceted relationships with the world’s leading international companies
  • because our sector teams meet regularly to share information and analyse market developments, we’re continually updating our sector view.

When you understand where a market is heading, you know where to invest.
