Thanks, oogleflugal,
Took another look at 3i, but still reached the same conclusion. Plse see my latest writeup here though, with further commentary on (alternative) asset managers:

As a PE investment trust, I'm not convinced I'd be buying 3i right now - I see other more interesting stocks/funds to buy, many on similarly attractive discounts. Generally, I'm slow to buy anything between May & September - maybe after we have a Grexit, that will be time to gulp & buy...
Cheers,
