Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) is a well-known bank that specializes in serving technology companies and startups. In recent years, however, the bank has come under fire for its poor performance and numerous missteps. Here is a simple explanation of how Silicon Valley Bank failed.
One of the primary reasons for the bank’s failure is its overreliance on the tech sector. While it makes sense for a bank specializing in technology to cater to tech companies, putting all your eggs in one basket can be dangerous. When the tech industry experiences a downturn, as it did in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, SVB’s fortunes declined rapidly. The bank had made too many risky bets and failed to diversify its portfolio.
Another issue that led to SVB’s downfall was a lack of risk management. The bank was too focused on growth and acquiring new business, and it neglected to properly assess the risks associated with the loans it was extending. This led to a significant increase in defaults, and the bank was unable to recover the funds it had lent out.
SVB’s leadership also made some questionable decisions that contributed to the bank’s downfall. For example, the bank invested heavily in WeWork, a co-working giant that experienced a spectacular collapse in 2019. The bank had extended a large loan to WeWork, which became worthless when the company’s valuation plummeted. This was a significant hit to SVB’s bottom line.
Lastly, the bank’s management was slow to react to the changing market conditions. SVB’s competitors began offering lower interest rates and more attractive terms to tech companies, but the bank failed to keep up. This led to a decline in business, and the bank was unable to recover.
In conclusion, Silicon Valley Bank failed due to a combination of factors, including overreliance on the tech industry, inadequate risk management, poor investment decisions, and an inability to adapt to changing market conditions. These missteps led to a decline in the bank’s fortunes and ultimately contributed to its failure.
Do you think the SVB collapse could be an indicator of more widespread issues in the banking industry?

Bank collapsed because it focused on wokeness…..what a load tosh. The criminals gangsters running the USof A no longer have access to the resources of others. They can no longer invade the ME and Africa and steal peoples' resources. The drug dealers pulled their cash out of the banks. This criminal empire is done. It was built on lies and lies will be its undoing. You robbed GOD's Chosen Children who built this nation and you have failed to repair the damage. The US of A has been weighed in the balance and is found wanting.
make a video about paul dirac, please ma'am
Whats now about Dow jones?? Will it fall??
When you say "customers withdrew $40b in a day"- how? As there's no cash on hand, I get that, physically how did these customers "get" their money? A bank check? ACH? IOU? Why wouldn't they simply use Quicken (or whatever) and cut a check to an account at another bank? Details please.
I wonder if she does her editing? If so, she is a great journalist and editor.
Banking is not a good business model if they're at risk of a stampede wiping them out. If assets are liquid, don't pay much interest. If assets are committed to stay, pay better interest. As things are, people who keep their money parked are subsidizing those withdrawing often. Different needs require different account types. Banks should align incentives so customers behave predictably.

With changes in the economy leading to instability in the stock market, some individuals may face a decrease in their investments in an effort to benefit from the current market conditions, I am considering liquidating my $725k portfolio consisting of bonds and stocks. Someone else in the same situation? Please tell me in the comments!..
The bank is guilty of being gullible. Both the treasury secretary and the Federal reserve chairman we're insisting that inflation was transitory, so the Bank bought longer-term
Treasuries low interest rates. Only to have the Federal reserve reverse its position and start rapidly increasing interest rates. Maybe it was the rapid succession of a 6.8 trillion-dollar budget, 1.9 trillion dollar bill, followed by 1.2 trillion dollar bill. It seems that basic economics was at work here, and that overrides the political desire to spend without consequence.
US greatly support war in Uriane led inflation and high goods tax, we can protect our deposit get money back keep in hand.
Signature Bank: Barney Frank, former Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, co-author of Dodd-Frank Act-was on Signature Board at time of collapse.

FDIC’s cash fund is 1.6% of the trillions it has in liabilities. How can this bailout logic be sustained?
United Suckers of America rundown by DemonKrats run by brainless clueless Zao Buy Dung or Joe Lieden. Try Assbury Revivals.
You do realise that fed increased interest rate to calm down inflation right? It was bank's executives fault to sell those bonds in the first place which lead to this crisis.
Why doesn't government seize the assets of the bank, it's CEO, their founders, board members? Didn't those people profited from these reckless decisions?
My husband and I would like to know why your video mentioned nothing about how Frank Dodd was repealed by Trump and how this bank was involved in lobbying efforts.
THANK U

I’m downvoting this video for its thumbnail. Extremely irresponsible to use the words “mass panic”. Your channel is sensationalist garbage.
This is what voting Democrat gets people.
Printing money causes inflation. In fact it is the definition of inflation.
