3i director buys ahead of share price jump

Thu, 12th May 2011 17:16

Willem Mesdag, a director at the private equity group 3i, invested more than £280,000 in the company following well-received full-year results and benefited from a strong rise in the share price.He took 100,000 shares at 281p a time. The shares closed just shy of 290p, meaning that Mesdag has made a profit of £9,000 already. The rise in 3i's share price came in spite of the firm taking a £198m hit on its investment in Enterprise, the provider of government services, due to tough economic conditions in Britain. Gross return in the year to 31 March fell to £601m from £843m.3i's chairman Sir Adrian Montague hailed a rise in the company's investments over the period."High quality new investment has always been central to future value growth for our shareholders," he said.3i, which earlier this month announced an investment in camping equipment retailer Go Outdoors, described the environment as "generally improving but somewhat fragile." "Significant regional differences are evident and it is a little early to assess the longer term effects of the geopolitical developments in the Middle East, the natural disaster in Japan, and increased energy and other commodity prices," the company said.
