Deep Dive – In the shadow of Action, 3i Group's PE portfolio delivers
3i Group is increasing its stake in Action as the discounter keeps growing strongly despite headwinds in France and Germany. At the same time, the private equity portfolio shows that 3i also creates consistent value beyond Action through internationalisation and scalable niches.

At its core, this event revolves around an overview of the group's private equity portfolio, because you might almost forget it, but alongside Action, 3i owns a host of other investments. Still, management knows full well that most shareholders hold the stock primarily for Action, which is why the meeting invariably opens with a brief update on the discounter.
