3i Group Updated Views

Curious what thoughts are on 3i Group? More specifically - how is there PE team?

Hard to find much information on them despite their size and some pretty reputable deals…

How are returns, exits, culture? Appreciate any advice!

Done super well on Action - joke they have internally is they are a "corporate VC arm". 

Culture seems good - have met a couple of people from there and they seem down to earth. Obviously, work hard during deal sprints - and some PortCo work seems 'hands on'. 

You can see their returns online - given they are listed. Lots of info, helpfully.
