say they target transactions that fall between
$20 million and $50 million. Another 31%
say that their preferred transaction range is
$10 million to $20 million. Nearly all of the
respondents—96%—are most interested in

higher than estimates in the years
2011 through 2014, and is actually 132%
of the total market transaction volume that
traded in the healthcare sector in 2015.
