3i Group is talking to investors about raising its next flagship fund as it sets out projections for the performance of Eurofund V, the UK-listed private equity firm’s problematic boom-era vehicle.

The London-based firm will today discuss the launch of a successor vehicle to the €5 billion mid-market buyout fund it raised in 2006 as part of an investor update on the performance of the fund, according to Alan Giddins and Menno Antal, managing partners and co-heads of private equity at 3i.
