In 2021, Silicon Valley Bank started purchasing long-dated higher risk assets in order to increase returns for customers. Over the next year that strategy backfired when the Fed drastically started increasing interest rates which lowered the value of the banks assets. In early March 2023, the bank announced they sold a large portion of its assets at a loss and would need funding. That news spooked depositors and led to a bank run. A few days later, regulators and the FDIC shut down the bank, pledged to make depositors whole, but would not bail out the management or investors in the bank. Silicon Valley Bank is considered to be the 2nd largest bank failure in US history.
