BANK COLLAPSE

Sizing up Silicon Valley Bank’s CRE Exposure

p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), a major funder of tech and crypto startups, collapsed on Friday, marking the biggest U.S. bank failure since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. But it isn’t just the tech sector that’s on the hook, SVB had approximately $2.6B of CRE loans on its books.

p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }

What happened: On Friday, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) suffered a run on its deposits due to concerns about its solvency after failing to raise $2B in capital to cover losses. As a result, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) took control of the bank’s assets and deposits. While insured deposits are expected to be available soon, it remains unclear when the uninsured deposits will be freed up.

CRE exposure: SVB’s investment securities portfolio includes $1.3B in affordable housing projects, $14.4B in commercial mortgage-backed securities, and $2.7B in nonmarketable equity securities. In line with its goal to focus on innovative industries such as technology, life sciences, healthcare, and venture capital, SVB acquired Boston Private, a wealth management, trust, and banking services provider with real estate investments worth $900M in 2021.

p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }

Shockwaves: The collapse of SVB has raised concerns about the possibility of further bank failures, and market chatter suggests that it could impact the Federal Reserve’s rate hike train. Billionaire hedge funder Bill Ackman believes that a bailout should protect depositors and not equity holders or management. While the situation appears to be unique, there remains a risk that SVB’s loans and deposits will be reclassified and sold.

➥ THE TAKEAWAY

p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }

What happens now? According to US authorities, depositors of SVB can now access all of their funds as of today. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has unveiled a new program called the “Bank Term Funding Program” which offers one-year loans to banks with more lenient terms than usual. Nevertheless, the collapse of SVB and its potential impact on the banking sector has raised concerns about the stability of the financial system. Expect the story to continue to make headlines.

Diversify With Wine & Spirit Investments

For hundreds of years the ultra rich have been investing in real assets like art, real estate, and fine wine and rare spirits. Why? Well, historically these assets have provided a track record of returns and provided exposure to diversification with non-correlated assets.

p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }

Traditionally, fine wine and rare spirits as investment had been incredibly difficult to access. Large up front costs, antiquated and fragmented markets, and a landscape of infromation that was virtually incomprehensible to anyone not in the Wine world.
