3i, one Europe's largest venture capital firms, has given a brighter outlook for the coming year but warned any recovery won't be rapid.

The outfit - which has reported it invested £771m in 522 companies in the 11 months to 28 February - said IPO activity will now start to increase although there will be no major upturn until the end of this year.
