“Smart Money” Seeking Health Care Deals Means Opportunities for Sellers

New York – September 6, 2005

The “smart money,” in the form of sophisticated professionals running private equity funds, buyout funds, hedge funds, and the like has always been interested in health care. But today there is so much money available that the smart money managers are targeting health care much more intensively for their new investments. And they are bidding up values.

Cain Brothers discusses this topic in its recently issued Strategies in Capital Finance white paper titled “Smart Money” Expands Its Scope: Is It Time for Providers to Capture Value Hidden in Ancillary Lines of Business? Cain Brothers suggests that owners of health care lines of business like home health, hospice, dialysis, clinical laboratories, and behavioral health should consider selling them while values are high.

Jim Cain, Managing Director at Cain Brothers notes, “Time and again in health care, we have seen cycles of consolidation and high valuations followed by low valuations and divestitures. We are currently in the high value part of the cycle for many health care subsectors, and providers may, therefore, want to capture hidden values and generate cash through monetization. Proceeds from sales of ancillary businesses and noncore assets can be redeployed into core activities.”
