Today we are breaking down the publicly traded investment company 3i. You may think if you've seen one publicly traded investment vehicle, you've seen them all. Yet, 3i is an investment vehicle where one business, Dutch retailer, Action, represents well north of 50% of their net asset value. 
Our guest to break down 3i is <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/luke-bridgeman-56ba5419/">Luke Bridgeman</a>, a partner and portfolio manager at Hosking Partners. Luke shares the unique origin story of 3i, which dates back to pre-World War II in England. He takes us up through the present day, where longtime investment banker Simon Burrows has taken 3i and completely reshaped the asset management business into something that looks completely different.  
Please enjoy this breakdown of 3i.
