| PE-backed exits saw record value in 2021 | |  | | (Doug Armand/Getty Images) | | | Insatiable investor demand has driven US PE-backed exit value to nearly 20-year highs—but it is unlikely this trend will hold up in 2022. - PE-backed IPOs broke annual records for both total count and value through just three quarters of 2021, a phenomenon driven by advantageous market conditions and a surge in tech sector activity.
- There were 42 PE-backed US public listings in Q3 2021, contributing to the fifth consecutive quarter with increased listing totals. Total PE-backed IPOs, which amassed $90.9 billion, accounted for more than 42% of PE exit value in the quarter.
| | | | | | | | | | 4 key segments continue to dominate healthcare provider buyout activity | |  | | (elenabs/Getty Images) | | | Since 2016, behavioral health, dentistry, dermatology and vision together have accounted for around half of all healthcare provider buyout activity. Positive reimbursement and demand dynamics have made behavioral health the hottest PE provider segment. Meanwhile, dermatology has seen declining deal activity, a result of strategic missteps and a lack of strategy diversification by some large platforms.
These are just a handful of the insights from PitchBook analysts on established PE healthcare provider plays. Our recent analyst note details trends and strategies in behavioral health, dentistry, dermatology and vision. | | | | | | | | | | US VC firms raise nearly $13B in the first week of 2022 | |  | | (KrizzDaPaul/Getty Images) | | | The new year is barely a week old, and US VC firms have already raised about $12.8 billion across 15 funds, according to PitchBook data.

"As additional data is recorded, we expect Q2 and Q3 2021 middle-market performance to cool slightly from Q1's levels, but remain impressive by historical standards. US consumer confidence dipped since Q1 due to the spread of the Delta and other COVID-19 variants as well as concerns about inflation, although business confidence and advance retail sales figures for October 2021 show a positive trend."
