Biggest flops / winners in last 3years

Since Covid-19 a lot of happened on both the private and public markets. Some investors were able to make spectacular deals wielding a significant return (e.g. Teamviewer, Trellis, agilon health etc.) whereas others pretty much screwed the pooch (e.g. Envision). Now some of these deals were impacted by macro environment some where not. What have been some of the most interesting deals you have seen (both winners and loosers)

Agilon has traded down tremendously - and not sure CD&R has taken any liquidity on that yet...

 

I think the craziest part about the Envision deal is that Jim Momtazee (who headed up KKR's healthcare group) had spun out of KKR, closed the largest first time fund at $3.9bn and just 6 months later, Envision files at bankruptcy. Patient Square is now back in market raising a fund II targeting at least $4bn and I'm not sure how they're going to pull this off. 0 realizations and LPs tightening their belts only makes this fundraise tougher no doubt.

Maybe it was off the back of the strength of his other successful investments like GenesisCare, Global Medical Response, or Covenant Surgical.

 

The Partner rows on that team webpage has changed a lot over the last 2 years. Quite typical for first-time funds and in Patient Square's case, still very much 'fake it till you make it.' I'm sure the track record they're claiming to speak for is very suspect given KKR's HC team is claiming the same (non-crap) deals. Remains to be seen how their Fund I is doing but they're out in market raising another massive fund.
