3i Group PLC on Thursday, the day of its annual general meeting, said its private equity portfolio showed performance in line with its own expectations. The London-based investment manager said Action continued to perform ‘strongly’, with like-for-like sales growth of 6.9% in the year to date and net new store openings of 111 on track with expansion plans. Action’s product assortment includes decoration, DIY, garden and outdoor, household goods, multimedia, health, stationery and hobby, toys and entertainment, food and drink, laundry and cleaning, personal care, pet, fashion and linen. ‘The like-for-like performance continues to be transaction driven with a strong contribution from seasonal sales,’ 3i said.
