Its platforms include MoneySuperMarket, MoneySavingExpert, Quidco and TravelSupermarket, along with B2B comparison technology sold to other brands. **Operations:** MONY Group generates almost all of its £448.1 million revenue in the UK, with around £236.9 million from Insurance comparison, £110.5 million from Money products, £54.8 million from Home Services, £49.3 million from Cashback and smaller segment and inter-vertical adjustments. **Market Cap:** £1.0b Income investors may want to pay attention to MONY Group, which pairs a 6.2% dividend yield with reported returns on equity of around 39% and ongoing share buybacks that reduced the share count by 1.85% in the first half of 2026. The business is leaning into automation and member propositions like SuperSaveClub to improve margins and deepen customer relationships, while still facing pressures from higher paid marketing costs, regulatory constraints in energy switching and a shift toward some lower margin contracts. Recent half year results showed steady revenue and earnings. The key consideration for investors is how this combination of business quality, cash returns and risk might influence future dividend decisions. MONY Group’s 6.2% yield, high reported returns on equity and share buybacks point to a richer income story than the headline payout suggests.

Foresight Group Holdings looks like an income engine still building scale, with reported returns that stand out for an asset manager.

LSE:FSG Earnings & Revenue Growth as at Aug 2026 ## 3i Group (LSE:III) **Overview:** 3i Group is a London based private equity and infrastructure investor that backs mature, mid market companies and large infrastructure assets worldwide using a mix of its own capital and third party funds. It focuses on sectors such as consumer, healthcare, industrials, software and services, as well as utilities, transportation and social infrastructure, typically taking control stakes and board seats. **Operations:** 3i Group generates most of its revenue from Private Equity at £5.3b, alongside contributions from Infrastructure at £193 million, Scandlines at £55 million and £32 million of unallocated IFRS adjustments. **Market Cap:** £27.9b Income focused investors may want to look at 3i Group because it couples a 3.03% dividend with very high reported profit margins, strong 5 year earnings growth and a long tenured management team that is actively reshaping the portfolio around themes such as private label retail and healthcare. The increased stake in Action, ongoing share buybacks and recent disposals in Infrastructure at premiums all point to a particular capital allocation approach. Independent models and analyst targets indicate that some assessments suggest the shares trade below certain estimates of value. The flip side is funding risk, currency exposure and sector pockets such as automotive and North American recruitment that could affect results. For investors focused on income and total returns, it is important to understand how 3i Group manages leverage and asset valuations. 3i Group’s accelerating capital recycling and income profile can look compelling, but the real story sits in how its assets are priced.
