[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just give depositors the HTM assets? They can decide what to do. [/quote] Probably most of their assets are tied up in loans not in HTM treasuries [/quote] Not true. SVB’s loan book grew by only 15% by end of COVID. Their long term securities holdings grew by something like 100%[/quote] They had really bad interest rate timing on when the massive deposits came in. But effed up by buying long term ones, searching for yield, when the rate regime was about to flip. It's not entirely their fault. Peter Thiel effed them over and deliberately forced a bank run. But they did make an inexplicably bad decision on the duration of their htm securities.[/quote]
