Bank Crisis – The Worst Potential Outcome, Where You Should Put Your Money Now
- Easy money over an extended period of time took the financial world to a situation in which rapidly rising interest rates exposed disastrous flaws in risk management in several banks.
- Need to mark Treasury losses to market combined with overly concentrated clients/depositors made the position of Silicon Valley Bank untenable and left questions about whether to guarantee all deposits.
- Unsurprisingly, Crypto and Venture Capital triggered the end of cycle decline in February 2021 and all three major bank collapses; cheap money had enabled dubious assets and low quality start-ups.
- Potential bank investors must now add criteria like concentration of customers and depositors, percentage of uninsured deposits, and the mix of loans and bonds.
- The rise in rates has made fixed income attractive and revived the 60/40 portfolio. Treasury yields are off their peak, but CDs may greatly enhance safe yields while money market funds have great rates.
LATEST: Bank of Spain Director General has stated that banks and clients have been channelling deposits to investment funds for some time.
