For those interested in what Silicon Valley Bank's $74 billion loan (rather than securities) portfolio looked like at the end of last year, take a look at this table. 1/4

#banks #loans #vcfunding #wineries
The $6.7 billion in "investor dependent" loans to Venture-backed startups are the ones that are difficult for national banks to acquire. They are also the key to the whole SVB ecosystem, including the Global Fund Banking portfolio of $41.3 billion which is by far 2/4
the biggest segment, followed by the $10.5 billion private bank portfolio. Wine at $1.2 billion seems small but is a huge part of US lending to wineries.

The challenge for FDIC in a nutshell: these apparently disparate lending businesses are all deeply intertwined. 3/4
High value to a franchise buyer, questionable value to a piecemeal buyer. And if a buyer can't to the earliest stage "investor dependent" loans, can it hold on to the rest of the business? 4/4

What happened at Silicon Valley Bank is much more a “banking” story than a “tech” story. @SVB_Financial has been, for 30 years or more, a vital cog in the #startup and #vcfunding scene nationally and internationally. That’s not going to change. 1/6
Investment is still happening in areas like climate tech and AI and the bank will be supporting those new companies.
Its diversification and ability to raise capital to deal with its ALM problems differentiate it from a bank like @silvergatebank. 2/6
But...Silicon Valley Bank's fortunes, and its stock price, have always waxed and waned with tech cycles. This tech cycle was “supersized” in that it lasted for more than a decade and valuations were sky high even by the standards of past booms. 3/6
