Profit from the next wave of money printing

The next wave of money printing from the Bank of England is sure to boost stocks. And this private-equity giant is well-placed to benefit, says Paul Hill.

So far this year, the FTSE has been on a sugar rush, thanks to the abundance of central bank liquidity. The last dose of quantitative easing boosted equities back in 2010 and I suspect the next round will provide a similar boost.

One beneficiary should be 3i, Europe's largest listed private-equity house. It owns substantial stakes in numerous firms across Britain, continental Europe and Asia. These include Foster and Partners, architects of London's famous Gherkin' building.
