1 年This crisis is a reminder for bank customers to not keep deposits at a bank that exceed the FDIC insurance limit.

The bank was taken over by the FDIC. This crisis is also a reminder that specialty banks like SVB pose extra risks from a non diversified customer base. Clearly, the combination of the above two risk should have resulted in management, The board and the regulators not permitting such large amounts of these short term and uninsured deposits to be invested in long term fixed rate bonds at the absolute bottom of the interest rate cycle.
