The Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), one of the leading lenders in the United States has sparked a wave of panic in the country after it brought down banking shares across the world. Union Square Ventures and Founder Collective also advised their portfolio companies to pull their funds from the bank. Back in 2021, the bank saw a massive influx in its deposits which jumped from $61.67 billion to almost $189.20 billion. As its deposits grew, it failed to generate its loan book fast enough to generate the yield it wanted to see on the deposited capital. Amid concerns over the bank's financial position in the market, a person familiar with the matter said Greg Becker, the SVB Financial Group Chief Executive Officer held a conference call around 11:30 am (Fransico time) with the bank's advising clients including its venture and capital investors for 10 minutes and urged them to 'stay calm' and to support the bank like they had been doing for the past 40 years.

Silicon Valley Bank Crisis: Why SVBs Stocks Crashed 60% in a Day ... (News18)

SVB Financial Group, which does business as Silicon Valley Bank, is in a tough spot after a capital raise caused a steep 60% collapse in its share.

Precisely, with the rising US Fed interest rates, the value of existing bonds with lower payouts fell in value. However, with the rise in Fed rates, the value of SVB’s MBS plummeted. The bank’s net interest margin (NIM) declined to 2.0 per cent for Q4 2022 and a 13 per cent linked-quarter decline in net interest income. Almost 97 per cent of these MBS were 10+ years in duration, with a weighted average yield of 1.56 per cent. SVB has relationships with over 50 per cent of all venture-backed companies in the US and countless Venture Capital (VC) firms. This happened when the Silicon Valley Bank on Wednesday launched a $1.75 billion share sale to shore up its balance sheet and navigate declining deposits from startups struggling for funds amid increased spending.

Silicon Valley Bank meltdown eerily reminiscent of Bear Stearns ... (Moneycontrol.com)

The storied Wall Street investment bank had plunged around 50 percent in a single session in 2008, heralding the global financial crisis.

Over the next few months, the subprime storm barrelled down Wall Street with destructive force, wiping out one titan after another in a grim game of dominoes, which ultimately engulfed the global financial system. The California-based firm is a crucial lender for American startups. Even on the day of the stock collapse, Schwartz said the company had asked the Fed for funds “to restore confidence in us in the marketplace, strengthen our liquidity and allow us to continue normal operations." The immediate problem for US banks, especially small- and mid-sized ones, is competing for depositors’ funds amid rising interest rates, which is likely to crimp their margins. A worried Fed hastily arranged for emergency funds, and finally a takeover by JP Morgan Chase for $2 a share (later hiked to $10), bringing the curtains down on one of one of the biggest names on Wall Street. However, many of its startup clients have started to withdraw their funds from SVB, raising the specter of a bank run.

What's going on with Silicon Valley Bank? (Siliconrepublic.com)

The technology-focused Silicon Valley Bank recently sold shares to help stabilise its balance sheet, causing panic among investors.

However, SVB said the sale would lead to an after tax loss of $1.8bn for the first quarter of 2023. This is less than the current 10-year treasury yield of roughly 3.9pc, Reuters reports. While SVB is trying to assure investors that the share sale is designed to boost its financial flexibility, it has raised concerns about the financial health of the bank, causing a wave of stockholders to pull out. SVB announced the share sale as part of a plan to strengthen its financial position and plug a hole in its finances, according to a message to stakeholders. The bank made the decision to sell $21bn of its available-for-sale (AFS) securities in order to reinvest the funds into “a more asset-sensitive, short-term AFS portfolio”. Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) has become the latest in the financial spiral spotlight, as its share price has tumbled amid concerns about the bank’s stability.

Silicon Valley Bank drops another 45%, weighing on the bank sector ... (CNBC)

Shares of SVB Financial Group, known as Silicon Valley Bank, tumbled for a second day Friday and weighed on the whole banking sector again.

Concern among founders and venture capital investors spiked earlier this week after Silicon Valley Bank surprised the market by announcing late Wednesday it needed to raise $2.25 billion in stock. "Falling VC funding activity and elevated cash burn are idiosyncratic pressures for SIVB's clients, driving a decline in total client funds and on-balance-sheet deposits for SIVB," wrote the Morgan Stanley analysts. The bank also previously reported more than $90 billion in held-to-maturity securities, which wouldn't necessarily incur losses unless it was forced to sell them before maturity to cover fleeing deposits. [Signature Bank](/quotes/SBNY/), which is known to cater to the crypto sector, declined 22% following a 12% tumble Thursday. As the Federal Reserve consistently raises interest rates, it is lowering the value of Treasurys. The shares were down another 62% in premarket trading Friday before they were halted for pending news.

Following the fear of a possible insolvency situation among depositors, SVB CEO Greg Becker reportedly held a call on Thursday to inform the bank’s customers of its health, while urging them to not pull their deposits or spread panic about the lender’s situation. An environment of aggressive rate hikes leading to a fall in the valuation of bonds issued by the bank led to a massive after-tax loss of $1.8 billion. The company's profit for the nine months came in at Rs 407.5 crore. The funding crunch among startups — which constitutes a majority of the bank’s clients — due to the ongoing tech winter made matters worse for SVB.

Silicon Valley Bank collapse sparks UK tech startup 'panic' (UKTN)

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB)'s collapse after a plunge in value may pose a major risk to the UK tech industry.

SVB was founded in 1983 and has been in the UK market since 2004. SVB has in the past said it provides accounts for half of US startups. That hasn’t prevented UK startups from withdrawing at least some of their funds from SVB UK. On Thursday the Nasdaq-listed US parent company lost more than 60% of its share value. Regulators in California have closed Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) after a liquidity crisis at the startup lender prompted panic withdrawals. However, he added that he wasn’t “sure if [it’s] justified”.

To fund the redemptions, Silicon Valley Bank sold on Wednesday a $21 billion bond portfolio consisting mostly of U.S. This spooked investors such as General Atlantic that SVB had lined up for the stock sale, and the capital raising effort collapsed late on Thursday. Later in the day, however, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) then announced that SVB was shut down and placed under its receivership. As higher interest rates caused the market for initial public offerings to shut down for many startups and made private fundraising more costly, some Silicon Valley Bank clients started pulling money out to meet their liquidity needs. SVB announced on Thursday it would sell $2.25 billion in common equity and preferred convertible stock to fill its funding hole. This weighed on technology startups - the primary clients of Silicon Valley Bank - because it made their investors more risk-averse.

Silicon Valley Bank: Regulators take over as failure raises fears (BBC News)

US regulators have shut down Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and taken control of its customer deposits in the largest failure of a US bank since 2008.

"The average Joe should be fine," he added, but he said tech firms would likely find it even harder to raise money. "Silicon Valley Bank would not have lost money if they hadn't run out of cash to give back to their customers," he said. It now employs more than 8,500 people globally, though most of its operations are in the US. Even businesses without direct business were affected, like customers of Rippling, a firm that handles payrolls software and had used SVB. "I'm on my way to the branch to find my money right now. And then this morning, it was there. Shares saw their biggest one-day drop on record on Thursday, plunging more than 60% and fell further in after-hours sales before trading was halted. "It was pending. And then this happens." This is one of those moments," one start-up founder told the BBC. "The issue was that people wanted money and they didn't have it - they had it invested and those investments were down." US regulators have shut down Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and taken control of its customer deposits in the largest failure of a US bank since 2008.

Silicon Valley Bank shut down by regulator, 2nd biggest US lender ... (India Today)

US-based Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was shut down by regulators due to the sudden shutdown of Silvergate Capital Corp and the unmindful fundraising of SVB.

After the FDIC announcement, employees received an email from the company saying they would be contacted by officials about employment and compensation, according to a source who declined be identified. To fund the redemptions, SVB sold on Wednesday a $21 billion bond portfolio consisting mostly of U.S. The problems at SVB, which quickly escalated after the bank said on Wednesday it would raise money, underscore how a campaign by the US Federal Reserve and other central banks to fight inflation by ending the era of cheap money is exposing vulnerabilities in the market. By Friday, the collapsing stock price had made its capital raise untenable and sources said the bank tried to look at other options, including a sale, until regulators stepped in and shut the bank down. The cash and the workflow, to be able to have the runway is critical." "Access to the cash is the biggest problem for the majority of the companies here.

Silicon Valley Bank shut down by regulators; assets seized (The Hindu)

Silicon Valley Bank, the nation's 16th-largest bank, failed after depositors hurried to withdraw money this week amid anxiety over the bank's health.

Silicon Valley Bank's ties to the tech sector added to its troubles. That is not typically a problem, but when depositors grow anxious and begin withdrawing their money, banks sometimes have to sell those bonds before they mature to cover the exodus. As its name implied, Silicon Valley Bank was a major financial conduit between the technology sector, startups and tech workers. TWG, which has just 18 employees, had already sent the money for the checks to a payroll services provider that used Silicon Valley Bank. The panic on Wall Street led to the demise of Lehman Brothers, a firm founded in 1847. Then the FDIC and California regulators plan to sell off the rest of the assets to make other depositors whole. The bank announced plans Thursday to raise up to $1.75 billion in order to strengthen its capital position. As part of the seizure, California bank regulators and the FDIC transferred the bank's assets to a newly created institution — the Deposit Insurance Bank of Santa Clara. Regulators rushed on Friday to seize the assets of one of Silicon Valley's top banks, marking the largest failure of a U.S. Shortly before noon, the FDIC moved to shutter the bank. The biggest banks — those most likely to cause an economic meltdown — have healthy balance sheets and plenty of capital. It was the second biggest bank failure in U.S.

analyst writing that it “may have passed the point of maximum pressure.” SVB “didn’t have nearly as much capital as an institution that risky should have had,” William Isaac, the former chairman of the FDIC from 1981 to 1985, said in a telephone interview Friday. That meant a large share of the money stashed at SVB was uninsured: more than 93% of domestic deposits as of Dec. It said the main office and all branches would reopen on Monday. “Bankers always overestimate the loyalty of their customers.” “We’re very fortunate to be right in the middle of it.” Becker had a conference call in which he urged people to “stay calm.” The collapse on Friday happened in the span of hours. But beneath the surface were severe losses on long-term bonds, snapped up during that period of rapid deposit growth, that had been largely shielded from view thanks to accounting rules. “That ultimately was part of their demise.” But its fate was sealed years ago — during the height of the financial mania that swept across America when the pandemic hit. Still, the FDIC only insures bank deposits of up to $250,000 — and SVB’s clients had much more.

In the wake of the crisis, the company’s chief Greg Becker on Friday sent a video message to the employees as he spoke about the "incredibly difficult" 48 hours which led the company to its fall. He joined Silicon Valley Bank later, after his manager quit the earlier company for the lender, founded in 1983.

SVB is unique in that it understands the specific needs and challenges of the tech industry, and provides a range of services that cater to startups, including loans, deposits, and investment management. SVB has been a major player in the Indian startup ecosystem, providing banking services and funding to many of the country's most successful startups, including Flipkart, Ola, and Zomato. SVB has become a critical player in the startup ecosystem, providing funding and financial services to many of the world's most successful startups, including Tesla, Uber, and LinkedIn.(With inputs from agencies) A bank can fail when it becomes insolvent or unable to meet its obligations to depositors or creditors. It will also dent the fundraising ability of Indian startups as the US-based bank was a key source of funding for tech startups. The 2008 crash prompted tougher rules in the United States and beyond. The most recent round of “stress tests” by the Federal Reserve of the largest banks and financial institutions showed that all of them would survive a deep recession and a significant drop in unemployment. It insures deposits at banks and savings associations.What is Federal Reserve? Initially that wasn't a huge issue, but the withdrawals started requiring the bank to start selling its own assets to meet customer withdrawal requests. Several Indian startups such as Bluestone, PayTM, One97 Communications & Bharat Financial Inclusion, who have exposure to SVB’s investments may now be worried that their raised funds may now be stuck . SVB bought billions of dollars worth of bonds over the past couple of years, using customers' deposits as a typical bank would normally operate. In SVB's case, the bank was hit hard by the downturn in technology stocks over the past year as well as the Federal Reserve's aggressive plan to increase interest rates to combat inflation.

SVB had received a massive volume of deposits during the 2020-2021 tech boom and invested the proceeds into long-term Treasury bonds while interest rates were low. Gokul Rajaram, a respected veteran of the technology space who is a board member in companies like Pinterest and Coinbase said on Twitter, “India-based founders don’t know who to turn to as an alternate to SVB. A number of high-profile venture capital funds like Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund had earlier advised their portfolio companies to pull money from SVB on Thursday when the bank’s shares tumbled more than 60 per cent, Bloomberg had reported. That is more than what US regulators – who shut the bank down – said would be insured by them, with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) asking companies with accounts containing more than $250,000 to contact a toll free number. In a press release, FDIC said that depositors will have access to their insured deposits – capped at $250,000 – by Monday (March 13).

Silicon Valley Bank crisis: Decoding the biggest US banking failure ... (India Today)

Silicon Valley Bank became the largest US bank to fail since the 2008 financial crisis and its sudden collapse has stranded billions of dollars belonging to ...

The deposit base of the major banks is much more diversified than SVB and the big banks are in good financial health," he added. However, the data handed over by the bank to the FDIC showed that 89 per cent of its $175 billion in deposits were uninsured. While US stock indices fell due to the contagion fueled by the SVB crisis, most analysts feel that it will not have a cascading impact and that it is company-specific. Analysts at JP Morgan also agree with Trainer, and believe that the sell-off was "overdone" as large banks have a lot more liquidity than smaller banks. There are fears among many that the failure of SVB could even trigger a situation similar to the financial crisis in 2008. This is because US banking regulations have become a lot stricter after the 2008 financial crisis, especially in the case of bigger banks like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citi Bank, Wells Fargo and more. "The market has been punishing companies that have no business models since the bear market began in January 2022 and SVB's woes are the latest frontier in the market's reckoning. With $209 billion worth of assets as of last year, SVB was the 16th largest bank in America. "There could be a bloodbath next week as banks are in trouble, the short sellers are out there and they are going to attack every single bank, especially the smaller ones. It was also placed into receivership under the FDIC and was ultimately sold to JP Morgan Chase. That one was the first pebble to go off the mountain and now we have a boulder and more are likely to follow," he told news agency Reuters. It may be noted that SVB is the first FDIC-insured bank to fail in more than two years.
