Please could I request that the information below is added to 3i Infrastructure's page to give more up to date information about 3i Infrastructure's portfolio? The information is factual and neutral in tone and I have added sources for the information. I look forward to working with you and please let me know if you have any questions via my talk page. The text is as follows:

Dear Wikipedia editing community
Further to the text above, I am going to make those changes (adding a section on 3i Infrastructure's portfolio) to 3i Infrastructure's page. I mention this here as I am the PR Manager at 3i Group and so have an affiliation with 3i Infrastructure. However, the update I am planning to make is factual, neutral in tone, the statements are sourced and I believe these changes will add to the article's accuracy and usefulness. However, I welcome any comments or questions you may have via my talk page. Best wishes, 16PalaceStreet. 16PalaceStreet ( talk) 14:36, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia editing community
Further to the conversation with @ Dormskirk on my talk page, I am requesting the remainder of our suggested edits to 3i Infrastructure's page so they can be reviewed and considered together. As before I would like to flag that I am the PR Manager of 3i Group so am connected to the company. I believe these edits are factural, neutral, and should add to the article's accuracy and usefulness for readers. I have added sources for the suggested additions. I am keen to contribute in good faith and in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines so welcome any comments and suggestions. Thank you for your consideration.
![]() | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. |
Edit request 1:
In the opening sentence I would like to suggest 'investment business' is changed to 'investment trust' as this is more accurate. Please see the referencing for this on the London Stock Exchange's website - 3I INFRASTRUCTURE PLC 3IN Our story - Stock | London Stock Exchange
Edit request 2:
In the 'History' section, I would like to suggest the sentence "The oil-tanking business generated a significant share of the company's returns in subsequent years." is deleted as it gives more prominance to oil-tanking in our returns than is accurate. The source (5) for that fact actually states that oil-tanking contributed to our returns in the first half of our financial year 2021. If you don't think it should be deleted it would be more accurate to say "The oil-tanking business generated a significant share of the company's returns in the first half of its 2021 financial year."
Edit request 3:
I would like to add some further detail to the 'History' section to make it more comprehensive. Taking the above edit and what is already in the section into account, my suggestion for the section is as follows:
The company was launched by way of an initial public offering in 2007. [1] It invested in Anglian Water Group, an investment it sold in December 2017 to a consortium of Dalmore Capital and GLIL Infrastructure, generating gross proceeds of £395 million. [2] In 2007 the company also acquired, through its holding company known as Oystercatcher, three oil-tanking storage terminals in the Netherlands, Malta and Singapore. It acquired further stakes in oil-tanking businesses in 2015. [3]
In December 2010, the company acquired a 33% interest in
Eversholt Rail Group as part of a consortium with
Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners and STAR Capital Partners. It sold the investment in January 2015 to CK Investments S.A R.L., generating net proceeds of £365 million.
[4]
[5]
In January 2012, 3i Infrastructure invested in
Elenia as part of a consortium with
Goldman Sachs Infrastructure Partners and Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company. It sold the investment in December 2017 to a consortium comprising
Allianz SE,
Macquarie Infrastructure, Real Assets and Valtion Eläkerahasto, the State Pension Fund of
Finland, generating gross proceeds of approximately £725 million.
[6]
The company invested in Cross London Trains (‘XLT’), a business which leases rolling stock to
Thameslink’s passenger rail franchise, in June 2013. It sold its stake in March 2019 to a consortium of Dalmore and Equitix funds generating proceeds of £333 million.
[7]
In April 2016, 3i Infrastructure invested in Wireless Infrastructure Group, a British mobile infrastructure provider. It sold the investment in December 2019 to
Brookfield Infrastructure, generating proceeds of £387 million.
[8]
[9]
Edit request 4:
Underneath the section 'Major shareholder' I would like to suggest the addition of a new section titled 'Management' to explain the link between 3i Infrastructure and 3i Group plc. I would like to suggest the following sentence is added:
3i Infrastructure is managed by 3i Investments plc, a subsidiary of 3i Group plc. [10]
