Term Sheet — Monday, January 25

* The level of dry powder for secondary buyers is at a record high of $65 billion, which is up from an already-sizable $56 billion in June 2015. Another $40 billion of secondary fundraising is targeted for 2016. Of the current amount, more than 80% is controlled by the top 20 buyers.

* North America remains the most attractive region, followed by Europe and Asia. 39% of respondents said they would focus primarily on LP interests, 17% of directs/GP liquidity opportunities and the remaining 44% expressed no preference.

* In 2015, leverage became more important. 25% of deal volume was leveraged at the SPV level (compared to 17% in 2014), while LTV levels hit 40% (vs. 30%).

* The majority of respondents expect between $35-$40 billion in secondary volume this year, with around half saying that macro developments will be the driving factor (which is apparently separate from "public market performance" -- which was the driving factor for 15% of respondents).

• Chip flip: Nagraj Kashyap is stepping down as head of Qualcomm Ventures, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation. No specifics yet on his next stop.

San Diego-based Kashyap has spent more than 12 years leading Qualcomm Ventures, which has backed such companies as Fitbit and Waze. He also launched the QPrize business plan competition and created the Qualcomm Robotics Accelerator.

A Qualcomm spokeswoman declined to comment. As our original tipster pointed out, fairly interesting to see departures by longtime heads of both Intel and Qualcomm's VC units within just a few months of one another.

• In Bill We (used to) Trust: Still hurts too much. No additional comment.

• Fully insured: Last week we reported that Oscar Health, a New York-based healthcare insurance startup, was raising a large new round of financing led by Fidelity Investments. Our understanding, based on sources familiar with the situation, was that at least $150 million of the round was already spoken for, and that the final deal could value Oscar at upwards of $3 billion.

At around the same time we were hitting “publish,” Oscar was filing new stock authorization documents in Delaware.

The new information, first uncovered by VC Experts, shows that Oscar has authorized the sale of up to $400 million in new “Series A8” stock. The shares are valued at $6.75 each, which is 30% higher than its “Series A7” stock. If all of the authorized shares are actually issued, it would give Oscar a fully-diluted valuation of approximately $2.97 billion.

As an aside: It should be very interesting to see how Fidelity marks Oscar Health when it shows up on the monthly valuation report. There are estimates that the company is generating around $300 million in revenue from premiums (and still unprofitable). As a comp, United Health is currently generating around $157 billion in revenue, but trading at a market cap of $108 billion. Or what about Humana, which is valued at less than half of its $53 billion in revenue. If Fidelity really uses public rivals for private market comps, it's hard to see how Oscar can stay anywhere near the price Fidelity just paid.

As another (more tenuous) aside: Oscar's co-founder is Josh Kushner, whose sister-in-law is Ivanka Trump. Got to be an interesting Thanksgiving table, given that Oscar is entirely predicated on an Affordable Care Act that Donald Trump has pledged to repeal, if elected president.
