Second largest US bank failure since 2008: Silicon Valley Bank, with $209B in assets and $170.5B in deposits, failed due to a run on the bank by tech workers and VC-backed companies, causing widespread concern in the banking sector.
The second largest bank failure in US history since the 2008 collapse occurred when Silicon Valley Bank was seized by regulators on March 10, 2023. With approximately $209 billion in total assets and $170.5 billion in total deposits, the failure came about due to a run on the bank caused by depositors, mostly technology workers and venture capital-backed companies withdrawing their funds. The failure of Silicon Valley Bank, which had 93% of its deposits above the FDIC insured limit, has caused widespread concern and uncertainty in the banking sector. Barry Habib, our guest, expressed surprise at the failure and we will discuss his thoughts, as well as the government's response, in the podcast.
SVB's Financial Instability from Low-Yielding Assets and Interest Rate Hikes: SVB's investments in low-yielding assets led to financial instability when interest rates rose, causing mass withdrawals and unrealized losses on mortgage-backed securities, resulting in potential consequences for the bank's future.
Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) faced financial instability due to investments made before the 2008 Dodd-Frank Act, which allowed them to invest in assets with low yields. When the Fed raised interest rates, depositors had alternatives to earn higher returns, causing mass withdrawals. The bank then had to sell assets to make up for the lost funds. However, many of these assets were mortgage-backed securities that were now underwater, leading to unrealized losses that weren't reported under Dodd-Frank. Despite these issues, Jim Cramer publicly touted the stock as a buy in February 2023, leading to a "dead cat bounce" in the stock price. The bank's situation highlights the risks of low-yielding investments and the potential consequences of interest rate hikes. Additionally, the attention brought to SVB by Cramer's endorsement could impact the stock's future performance.
Silicon Valley Bank's Financial Instability Leads to Depositor Panic and Calls for Investigations: The Silicon Valley Bank's unreported losses led to a massive withdrawal of deposits, causing the bank to sell assets and issue stock. The selling of assets revealed additional losses, fueling further panic and calls for investigations into possible insider trading.
The Silicon Valley Bank faced significant financial instability due to unreported losses, leading to a massive withdrawal of deposits. As depositors became aware of the vulnerability of the bank, they began to withdraw their funds in large numbers. To raise the necessary funds to cover the losses, the bank sold assets and issued stock. However, the selling of assets led to the realization of additional unreported losses, causing further panic and deposit outflows. The bank executives had sold large portions of their holdings before the public became aware of the situation, raising questions of insider trading or front running. The bank's sizeable unprotected deposits, combined with the executives' recent sales of shares, have fueled concerns and calls for investigations. The bank's previous public statements bragging about their financial success now seem disingenuous, adding to the public's mistrust. The situation highlights the importance of transparency and the potential consequences of hiding financial losses.
Financial Institution's Poor Decisions and Insider Trading: Transparency, humility, and ethical behavior are crucial in the financial sector to prevent disastrous consequences like bank runs. Poor decisions and insider trading can lead to financial instability and public distrust.
The lack of transparency, overconfidence, and potential insider trading by the leadership of a financial institution can lead to disastrous consequences, such as a bank run. The discussion highlighted the case of a bank whose executives had a history of experience in the financial industry but still made poor decisions, including footnoting earnings reports despite knowing potential downgrades were coming. The term "front running" was introduced as a form of insider trading where the broker works for the client's brokerage instead of the inside the client's business. The implications of this behavior can be severe, leading to financial instability and public distrust. The importance of transparency, humility, and ethical behavior cannot be overstated, especially in the financial sector.
The absence of a CRO during rising interest rates can lead to significant risks: A financial institution without a CRO during rising interest rates may face mismatched durations and decreasing asset values, potentially leading to losses for the institution and investors.
The absence of a chief risk officer (CRO) in a financial institution during a period of rapidly rising interest rates can lead to significant risks and potential losses for the institution and its investors. This was the case with a financial institution discussed in the conversation, which went without a CRO for eight consecutive months. During this time, the Fed raised interest rates dramatically, leading to a mismatch in duration and decreasing value of long-term investments. Having a CRO in place is crucial for managing these risks and implementing hedges to protect assets. It's concerning that a company of this size was able to operate without a CRO and without disclosing this information to investors. The lack of transparency and leadership raises questions about the situation, but it's difficult to definitively label it as fraud, idiocy, or a lack of leadership.
Banks could have mitigated recent financial instability with better asset management and preparation for rising interest rates: Effective risk management and adaptability to market fluctuations are essential to prevent future financial crises
The recent financial instability could have been mitigated if banks had adequately prepared for rising interest rates and managed their assets more effectively. The use of performing loans with short-term pain for long-term gains, as seen in the 2008 mortgage-backed securities crisis, was a lesson not learned. Banks were holding these assets as mark-to-maturity, but in a tough economic situation, they would need to be liquid. The Fed's facility to lend against par rate helped banks avoid significant losses, but it came at the cost of reduced profit margins. Additionally, all deposits are now insured, which may force smaller regional banks to concentrate their deposits to manage costs. Proactive risk management and adaptability to market fluctuations are crucial to prevent future financial crises.
Government uses existing funds to back depositors after bank collapse: The recent government intervention to protect Silicon Valley Bank depositors uses existing funds, originally from taxpayers, which could be perceived as a bailout in disguise.
The recent intervention by the government to protect depositors of Silicon Valley Bank after its collapse is being labeled as "not a bailout," but the funds used to support this action originally came from taxpayer money. Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary, has emphasized that no new money will be printed or appropriated by Congress, but she is using funds from the $100 billion Exchange Stabilization Fund, which originally came from tax revenues. This means that while the government is not directly printing new money, the funds used to support the depositors were initially sourced from taxpayers. Essentially, the government is using existing funds to back the deposits, which could be seen as a bailout in disguise. This situation raises questions about the responsibility and potential risks for shareholders and bondholders of the failed bank.
Is SVB bailout a debate?: The debate centers around whether or not the government's intervention in SVB is considered a bailout. Regardless, the emotional impact on depositors can last for years.
The debate over the SVB situation boils down to whether or not the government intervention is considered a bailout. Regardless of the label, the consequences of a bank failure like this can be profound for those directly affected. Just as the families of the victims of Benghazi continue to feel the impact years later, the depositors of SVB will likely carry the emotional weight of this event for a long time. It's essential to understand that a bank run occurs when customers lose confidence and rush to withdraw their funds. The scale of SVB's assets, primarily from tech startups, highlights the importance of diversification in a bank's customer base. The public discourse surrounding the situation involves heavyweights like Bill Ackman, David Sachs, and Vivek Ramaswami, each bringing their unique perspectives to the table. Ultimately, the long-term impact on those most affected by the situation will be the defining factor in how history remembers this event.
Employees and Dependents Suffer Most from Silicon Valley Bank's Failure: The freedom to fail is a crucial aspect of capitalism, but when it comes to financial institutions and payroll, some prefer stability over risk, leading to resentment and mistrust. The failure of Silicon Valley Bank affects not only its stakeholders but also everyday people and their income.
Those who are most affected by the failure of Silicon Valley Bank are its employees and those who rely on it for payroll. The foundation of capitalism includes the freedom to buy, try, sell, and fail. However, some people want the first three freedoms but not the fourth, which is the freedom to fail. This can create resentment and mistrust, especially when it comes to financial institutions and government bailouts. The impact of the bank's failure goes beyond Silicon Valley Bank, affecting shareholders, bondholders, and depositors. The everyday person's money is at risk, and if they were reliant on Silicon Valley Bank for payroll, they could be left without income. Capitalism can work itself out, but in the meantime, it's important to consider the potential consequences of our actions and the impact they have on others. The COO of Shopify, for example, reached out to offer assistance to businesses affected by the bank's failure, demonstrating the potential for community and cooperation in times of crisis.
Communication and Collaboration During Financial Hardship: Effective communication and collaboration between financial institutions and clients are essential during financial instability. Proper regulation and understanding the differences between various financial institutions, like GSIBs and community banks, are crucial for nuanced solutions.
During times of financial instability or hardship, communication and collaboration between financial institutions and their clients are crucial. Silicon Valley Bank's offer to help clients pay their payroll despite fund limitations illustrates this. Furthermore, the importance of proper regulation and understanding the differences between various financial institutions was emphasized. The speaker highlighted the distinction between globally systemically important banks (GSIBs) and others, with JPMorgan Chase being an example of a well-regarded GSIB. The Dodd-Frank Act and its impact on community banks was also discussed, with some arguing that it contributed to their struggles. Overall, the conversation underscored the need for nuanced understanding and flexible solutions in the financial sector.
The causes of Silicon Valley Bank's failure were complex: Despite some arguments linking deregulation to the bank's collapse, the root causes were a duration mismatch, mismanagement, and the Fed's interest rate hikes. The impact of Dodd-Frank is still debated.
The failure of Silicon Valley Bank was not solely due to deregulation under the Trump administration, as some argue. Instead, it was a result of a duration mismatch in their investment portfolio and mismanagement, exacerbated by the Fed's actions in raising interest rates. The debate also touched on the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, with some arguing that its provisions, such as the ability to use hold-to-maturity accounting, contributed to the bank's downfall. However, it's important to note that this interpretation is not universally accepted, and the complexities of financial regulations and their impact on specific institutions require careful analysis. Additionally, it's worth noting that in 2018, both Democrats and Republicans voted to roll back certain Dodd-Frank regulations, which could have reduced oversight for smaller banks. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the nuances of financial regulations and their impact on individual institutions.
Is the banking crisis a partisan issue?: The current banking crisis is a systemic issue where both sides have contributed. Consolidation of banks could lead to less competition and more government control, harming the economy. Consider long-term implications and potential solutions, rather than placing blame.
The current banking crisis is not a partisan issue, but a systemic one where both sides have contributed to the problem. The speaker challenges the audience to consider whose fault it really is, especially since the Biden administration has had control of the House and Senate for two years. The speaker's primary concern is the potential consolidation of banks, which could lead to less competition and more control by the government. He uses examples of Tesla and weapon manufacturers to illustrate how fewer competitors can harm the economy. The speaker also warns against the potential negative consequences of single-payer healthcare and nationalized banking, which can lead to less individual freedom and more government control. In essence, the speaker is urging the audience to consider the long-term implications of the current crisis and the potential solutions, rather than placing blame on one side or the other.
Consolidation in Banking and Retail: A Concern for Competition and Innovation: The decline in community banks and rise of large corporations in retail and banking could limit competition and innovation, potentially harming consumers and taxpayers.
Consolidation in various industries, including banking and defense, is a concern due to potential loss of competition and innovation. The speaker specifically mentioned the decline in the number of community banks in America and the rise of large corporations like Amazon, Walmart, and Target in retail. The speaker also emphasized the importance of local banks and the potential negative consequences if larger banks continue to dominate. The speaker also discussed the ongoing consolidation in the banking sector and the potential impact on consumers and taxpayers. President Biden's recent speech on bank deposits and the ongoing bank failures was also mentioned, with the speaker noting that while the President emphasized protecting depositors, the blame for the bank failures was misplaced and the real issue was the Fed's aggressive actions leading to a mismatch in duration.
Private and public sectors causing inflation: Excessive borrowing and spending in private sector and overly stimulative measures in public sector led to current inflation crisis. Fed's actions necessary but aggressive rate hikes might not be most effective solution. Addressing inflation is a process that takes time.
The current economic situation is a result of both private and public sectors contributing to inflation. The private sector's excessive borrowing and spending, coupled with the government's overly stimulative measures, created this inflation crisis. Now, the Fed's actions to save depositors are necessary, but their aggressive rate hikes might not be the most effective solution. It's important to understand that fighting inflation is a process that takes time. I have some resources on inflation that explain its causes and how it can be effectively addressed if you're interested. In summary, the current economic situation is complex, and addressing it requires a nuanced understanding of the underlying causes.

Cash Rethink Energises Asset Markets
As interest rates jumped, cash ruled for a lot of investors. The payment for doing absolutely nothing – in the form of money market funds and other interest-bearing instruments – was the highest in decades. But that may be changing as equity markets outperform and the soft landing feels more like a reality. Today on the show, we re-evaluate sitting on the sidelines. Also we go long hairstyles in Taiwan and short the Big Tech stocks.

00:00:01.900 --> 00:00:07.800
Let's let's
1
00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:10.600
shift a little bit to some of the headlines that we saw because there was
2
00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:15.100
there's quite a bit. It felt like it was a very long quarter. Yeah, and you
3
00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:17.700
know as we did see some positive results, but can we
4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.300
talk a little bit about just in general some of the headlines that we saw and
5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.000
then specifically I want to take a dive into inflation
6
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.700
and then the banks because that was
7
00:00:26.700 --> 00:00:30.200
a really big headline. We got a lot of a lot of calls regarding that look
8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:31.200
there there were
9
00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:35.900
Striking headlines around things like
10
00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:40.800
shocks to sort of economic surprises on
11
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.300
job numbers to what was going on with the FED
12
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:48.400
to Banks not just near the United States but
13
00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:51.600
internationally and yet what you see is kind
14
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:55.000
of, you know markets do what they do in in any given day. They respond
15
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.900
to that but they are quick to incorporate the news
16
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:01.300
and get back to pricing on other kinds of things. And
17
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:05.200
so I would say as a micro dosage of
18
00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:08.400
what the ride is for investors. It's
19
00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:11.000
this it's if you can sort of
20
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.400
take in stride that there are going to be lots of headlines and
21
00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:17.500
that there may be short-term Market reactions headlines over the
22
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.000
longer term that kind of gets filtered out on
23
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.700
the upside and downside right and what you get back
24
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.600
to is. Hey one of my paying for right I'm paying for some kind
25
00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:30.100
of future earnings or I'm lending with some expectation that
26
00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:33.800
I'm going to get paid and income stream based on that and that tends
27
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.700
to drown out the short term noise and now
28
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.200
you're back to factors of how much did I pay did I
29
00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:41.700
get my earnings did I not is
30
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.600
We're upside to that right and markets are kind of a weighing machine
31
00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:48.900
in that sense. Right? They're weighing those earnings. They're weighing those
32
00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:52.200
cash flows in the future. Right? So I would say
33
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.900
lots of lots of news lots of scurrying
34
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.300
around the news.
35
00:01:57.100 --> 00:02:01.000
You know at the end of the day we're sort of where we started one
36
00:02:00.100 --> 00:02:03.200
of the headlines and one of the things that we've been getting a lot
37
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.300
of questions about I'm talking about is is inflation. I know we've spent some time
38
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.600
already today talking about that. We did
39
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.500
see US inflation ease a little bit but there
40
00:02:13.100 --> 00:02:16.300
might be some pressures coming up. So if you don't mind commenting on that, that
41
00:02:16.100 --> 00:02:19.200
would be great. Yeah, you bet. I think it's helpful to kind of
42
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:21.200
take a step back and look at
43
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:25.700
With the onset of the pandemic right everything kind
44
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.800
of shut down and then when we went to reopen things back up
45
00:02:28.600 --> 00:02:32.000
factories didn't necessarily open up, especially in
46
00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:36.600
places like China right for some time. Right and the the
47
00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:39.700
supply chain was suddenly
48
00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:41.500
constrained and so we
49
00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:44.300
had a hard time getting Goods, right but there was a lot
50
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:48.400
of demand because we were at home, you know person stuff and so
51
00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:51.700
as you have demand shoot up but supplies constrained
52
00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:54.500
price shoots up, right? That's just sort of Economics 101
53
00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:57.400
and we saw that and at the time, you know, the Fed was quick
54
00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:00.500
to say, hey, look we think this is transitory think eventually things
55
00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:03.700
settle down we get manufacturing back online. We work
56
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.700
out the bugaboos associated with the supply chain
57
00:03:06.500 --> 00:03:09.600
and those the price pressure doesn't inflationary pressure should come back
58
00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:13.100
down over time and in large respect
59
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.500
this seems to have proven that out right?
60
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.100
I think what really got the fed's
61
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.800
attention and started them down the path.
62
00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:26.100
Of really dramatically raising rates was
63
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.700
the fact that well while goods were
64
00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:31.800
sort of starting to come back down. It was
65
00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:34.900
inflation associated with services that was going up. And
66
00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:37.800
in fact, what we've seen is good coming down
67
00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:40.700
the the overall inflation of
68
00:03:40.600 --> 00:03:44.500
the CPI number or that PC number coming down from its
69
00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:48.100
highs last summer, but while that's been happening underneath
70
00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:52.300
Inflation associated with Services has continued to
71
00:03:52.100 --> 00:03:52.600
go up.
72
00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:56.500
And so even if we're at a point now where the latest inflationary readings
73
00:03:56.200 --> 00:03:58.100
are half of what they were.
74
00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:00.400
Just a year ago this time.
75
00:04:01.600 --> 00:04:05.500
Services inflation is up and continuing to go the wrong direction. Right? And
76
00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:08.400
so the the FED has said hey, look
77
00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:11.400
first of all, we don't look at kind of the overall CPI number. We don't
78
00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:15.500
that's not how we measure it. We're looking at these underlying statuents and
79
00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:18.600
they prefer the the pce as
80
00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:21.300
opposed to CPI, but they're all just kind of ways of measuring, you know
81
00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:24.900
inflation in the economy. And so
82
00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:27.400
one of the ways that we've looked at
83
00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:30.600
this for a very long time is core CPI, right? We're stripping out the
84
00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:34.100
volatility of energy and food because those tend to move around so much and then
85
00:04:33.900 --> 00:04:37.300
you know, we've been introduced to this concept that not
86
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.500
only is it core CPI, but it's core Goods CPI and
87
00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:44.100
course Services CPI. And so the FED now is very focused
88
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.000
on core Services looking at Services minus
89
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.400
services for energy and food and what
90
00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:54.000
we see are again our sort of troubling Trends
91
00:04:53.100 --> 00:04:56.500
around services and housing
92
00:04:56.100 --> 00:04:59.400
in terms of the impact that that
93
00:04:59.200 --> 00:05:01.400
has now pushing.
94
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.700
Up or holding up those inflation numbers and if they
95
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.100
continue on the wrong direction, that's what the fed's concern about and the
96
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.500
the whammy that potentially comes
97
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.900
from if Services costs go
98
00:05:13.700 --> 00:05:16.800
up at some point that starts to impact Goods costs as
99
00:05:16.700 --> 00:05:20.600
well. Right? And so if you look at this where the the white
100
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.200
bars are coming down, right the the concern
101
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.400
is that Services cost the cost of producing goods
102
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.200
and delivering them right is going to impact the the cost
103
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.500
that gets passed through and goods start to come back up and there's sort
104
00:05:32.100 --> 00:05:35.500
of a double double impact of inflation if
105
00:05:35.400 --> 00:05:38.700
you will and that's what I think the FED is incredibly concerned about
106
00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:41.600
and and why they say look we're gonna ratchet rates up
107
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.700
and we're gonna keep them up there long enough until we're convinced that we've we've
108
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.000
stamped this out and brought it back down to a level that's
109
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:51.000
livable because the last thing you want to do is take your foot off the pedal.
110
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.300
And then suddenly have a Resurgence of these
111
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:58.300
inflation Air Forces which that we've saw
112
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.400
in the 70s, right if you think about what we've we've
113
00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:04.800
seen this show before the early 70s the FED raising
114
00:06:04.500 --> 00:06:08.400
rates taking their their foot off the brake, I guess and then
115
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.900
Resurgence of inflation in the late 70s stagflationary
116
00:06:11.200 --> 00:06:14.500
environment and it took the volcker FED in the 80s
117
00:06:14.200 --> 00:06:17.800
taken rates to places. We'd never seen until recently right to
118
00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:20.700
to stamp that out. And so I think the FED
119
00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:24.000
is taking a lesson from history and said we don't want to repeat those mistakes.
120
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:27.000
We're gonna stay on this until we're sure right absolutely and
121
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.200
speaking of the fed and it says been a very fast pace
122
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.800
in terms of Ray hikes. Yeah
123
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.200
historically exactly exactly so
124
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.400
they they have meant business and I
125
00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:44.100
think Market participants repeatedly made
126
00:06:43.200 --> 00:06:47.000
the mistake of not taking
127
00:06:46.700 --> 00:06:48.200
the FED at its word.
128
00:06:48.700 --> 00:06:51.900
Right and and equities markets have
129
00:06:51.700 --> 00:06:54.900
definitely gotten well ahead of the FED particularly at
130
00:06:54.700 --> 00:06:58.600
the end of last year and maybe potentially the beginning of this year bond markets
131
00:06:58.200 --> 00:07:01.500
now are pricing that the FED
132
00:07:01.200 --> 00:07:05.000
will pull back and yet the FED is saying no. No, we're we're
133
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:08.600
gonna raise rates and we're gonna keep them there longer and that's
134
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.900
you know, we have no expectation that we would
135
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.300
pull back from that anytime this year. Right? So the market
136
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.000
participants are our forward looking forward pricing, but
137
00:07:16.900 --> 00:07:20.500
they seem to not be taking the FED at its word. I think that's pulled
138
00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:23.800
back a little bit in February and March we started to
139
00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:25.400
see Market participants kind of get their arms around.
140
00:07:26.300 --> 00:07:29.400
Actually be coming and we see you know
141
00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:33.400
investors like hedge funds really sort of looking at volatility
142
00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:36.000
Bets with the expectation that hey this
143
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:39.300
may get a little more turbulent before it gets better. Right? So
144
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:44.200
there's a lot of sort of now Market positioning
145
00:07:43.200 --> 00:07:46.500
for the fed me
146
00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:49.800
actually do this and we may see an economic pullback,
147
00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:52.800
but that may not necessarily mean the FED response to
148
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.500
it. Right? I think again as we look forward the
149
00:07:55.900 --> 00:08:00.100
the way that I would think about this as an investor as a the
150
00:07:59.200 --> 00:08:03.000
stock market is not the economy, right? The
151
00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:06.200
markets are definitely driven by
152
00:08:05.700 --> 00:08:09.400
interest rates and fed movement
153
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.200
and yet
154
00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:16.400
Much like headlines the markets take that
155
00:08:16.200 --> 00:08:20.200
news and stride it gets built into prices and there
156
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.000
may be short-term volatility associated with this but if you look out over
157
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.300
time, you know, what what do we see going back to
158
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.200
you know, as long as we have records 1926 and Beyond
159
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.600
right Imperial heads when interest rates
160
00:08:32.300 --> 00:08:36.300
go up interest rates go down inflationary environments disinflationary environments
161
00:08:35.900 --> 00:08:40.100
recessionary environments across all of those things markets
162
00:08:38.900 --> 00:08:42.400
tend to produce a return
163
00:08:42.100 --> 00:08:45.700
of you know, seven to ten percent average annual
164
00:08:45.400 --> 00:08:49.000
you don't get that every year but you get on average over time and it's
165
00:08:48.700 --> 00:08:52.200
paying you for those cash flows so much like,
166
00:08:51.900 --> 00:08:55.100
you know, the all the comments that we've had prior to
167
00:08:54.900 --> 00:08:55.200
this.
168
00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:59.900
As investors, it's important to sort of take in its Stride
169
00:08:59.800 --> 00:09:02.900
Right put some blinders on there may be volatility associated with
170
00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:06.400
this ride. You will get wet on this ride. Right but we
171
00:09:05.800 --> 00:09:08.900
promise you'll come out in the other side, right and when you do,
172
00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:11.900
you know, the markets will get back to doing what they
173
00:09:11.800 --> 00:09:15.000
do, which is you know, paying you for putting Capital to work
174
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.400
in there. So so that I would say again we watch these
175
00:09:18.100 --> 00:09:21.300
things. We we sort of especially working
176
00:09:21.100 --> 00:09:24.200
in the industry. It's a incumbent upon
177
00:09:24.100 --> 00:09:27.200
us to have some product prognostication about where this could
178
00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:30.800
be headed at the end of the day what we think matters very little it's
179
00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:33.300
what actually happens and we build portfolios to
180
00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:36.600
be as robust as we can because Anything Could Happen. Yeah, that's that's fantastic.
181
00:09:36.100 --> 00:09:39.300
And that's a really good way of putting it. We don't know what's
182
00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:40.000
happening, but we're
183
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.000
We're invested in a way to endure what's to come? Right? Exactly. So
184
00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:47.500
one of the headlines that we we spent
185
00:09:47.300 --> 00:09:50.700
a lot of time talking to advisors and investors alike is the
186
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.200
the notion of the banks and we saw from Silicon Valley
187
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.100
and First Republic and a few others.
188
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.200
I think it's a it's a risk reward story. But I also think
189
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.400
this is the diversification story there. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Yeah. Well, yes,
190
00:10:03.700 --> 00:10:05.500
I think
191
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.300
the the situation with the banks
192
00:10:09.300 --> 00:10:13.300
has a lot to do with other stuff, right? Yes, the
193
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.800
the banks were quick to come out and say well this
194
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.800
is a consequence of how rapidly the FED is
195
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.300
raised interest rates. And this is potentially impaired the
196
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.300
asset base of these Banks and there's no question right over the
197
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.600
course of 2022. You saw the asset base
198
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.500
drop significantly across banks in
199
00:10:31.400 --> 00:10:34.800
general because right so, you know first principles,
200
00:10:34.400 --> 00:10:37.500
what is a bank do they take money in when they
201
00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:41.100
take that money in as a deposit? It's a liability to them. Right?
202
00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:43.600
So they take that liability and they got to go match it up
203
00:10:43.500 --> 00:10:47.000
with an asset and they do that either by making loans and if
204
00:10:46.900 --> 00:10:50.800
they can't make enough loans, then they got to go buy bonds treasuries.
205
00:10:50.300 --> 00:10:53.800
For instance, right? Yes. That's the old against the
206
00:10:53.300 --> 00:10:56.600
liabilities. So if you if you've got a bank that
207
00:10:56.300 --> 00:10:59.600
has a bunch of bonds that they're holding as an asset
208
00:10:59.300 --> 00:11:03.000
and the value of those bonds dramatically drop. They've lost
209
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:06.000
a lot of money against the liabilities that
210
00:11:05.900 --> 00:11:08.800
are still where they are, right and
211
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.400
So that's that's the the challenge for
212
00:11:12.900 --> 00:11:13.900
the financial.
213
00:11:15.800 --> 00:11:19.200
sector and it no surprise the financial sector
214
00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:22.600
was sort of the worst performing sector for the first quarter in large
215
00:11:22.400 --> 00:11:23.700
part because of these Dynamics
216
00:11:24.800 --> 00:11:28.300
It was a part of what happened at svb. It was a catalyst
217
00:11:27.800 --> 00:11:31.300
for the bank run that followed but the bank
218
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.500
run followed because of the unique dynamics of
219
00:11:34.400 --> 00:11:38.100
svb, correct? Right and the the failure
220
00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:40.900
of silvergate was
221
00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:44.200
function of crypto and had as
222
00:11:43.800 --> 00:11:47.500
much to do with FTX the failure of FTX, which
223
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.300
was a Ponzi scheme, right? So you have
224
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.300
a lot of kind of very unique situations Signature Bank,
225
00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:58.000
very crypto focused right First Republic the
226
00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:00.900
very very heavily on
227
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:04.200
the asset side writing interest only mortgages
228
00:12:03.400 --> 00:12:06.700
right in to a degree that other
229
00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:10.500
Banks didn't have some unique characteristics of these Banks which cause
230
00:12:09.900 --> 00:12:13.600
them to be sort of the canary in the coal mine if you will right
231
00:12:12.900 --> 00:12:16.100
and Credit Suisse just
232
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.100
Has struggled for years, right? And this was
233
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.500
just the nail in the coffin form. The concern is are they
234
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:27.600
the canary in the coal mine or are they just being punished because
235
00:12:27.400 --> 00:12:29.900
the malfeasance and poor management?
236
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.700
And I think the answer is a bit of both, right? So the the
237
00:12:34.400 --> 00:12:38.400
fed and other institutions got
238
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.900
together and said, hey, we got a backstop this thing to keep any contagion
239
00:12:41.300 --> 00:12:45.300
from spreading and assure depositors that
240
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.600
they're deposits are safe, even if the value of the bond the assets
241
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.600
that these banks are holding have dropped down. We the the government
242
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.300
are going to step in and and backstop not just
243
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:57.300
your 250,000 but everything right that was
244
00:12:57.300 --> 00:13:00.500
the strong message that they sent and that sort of seem to
245
00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:03.600
work, right it calm markets. Thanks for still being sort of reviewed and
246
00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:06.500
I would say look there's there could be more to this story. There could be
247
00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:09.800
other shoes to drop in time. Right? So you'll continue
248
00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:12.600
to watch it. I think as in as a person
249
00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:15.600
who has money at a bank, right am I rushing to pull my money
250
00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:18.800
out? No, I'm fairly confident that you know,
251
00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:21.500
we're we're gonna survive this right now.
252
00:13:22.400 --> 00:13:26.100
Did I say the same thing in 2008 when when I
253
00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:28.900
really thought hey, man, the whole financial system could go down.
254
00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:32.300
These Banks had collapse in Mass. I don't think we're anywhere
255
00:13:31.900 --> 00:13:35.300
near that I think banks are much healthier than than they
256
00:13:35.100 --> 00:13:39.900
were then and I think the issues that they have have to do with treasuries and
257
00:13:39.800 --> 00:13:43.200
the FED has said look, we're gonna step in and provide as much liquidity
258
00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:46.400
as necessary for the banks. So this becomes
259
00:13:45.900 --> 00:13:49.700
a potential issue down the down the pike, right? If
260
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.700
in fact the FED has to step in and provide the
261
00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:55.700
Surplus liquidity to the treasury market,
262
00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:56.800
why might they have to do that?
263
00:13:57.800 --> 00:14:01.000
Well, if for some reason we default on the debt ceiling for instance,
264
00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:04.200
right that could be very problematic and the FED
265
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.200
might have to take aggressive steps in a way that we've
266
00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:11.300
never seen before to step in and try and provide Surplus liquidity
267
00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:14.000
specifically to the treasury market. That would
268
00:14:13.800 --> 00:14:17.300
be a complete roll reversal of where we've been right? That's that's
269
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:20.900
taking the quantitative tightening off the table and now we're back to quantities, right
270
00:14:20.400 --> 00:14:23.600
so so could things come down the bike that
271
00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:26.900
would cause a, you know, real dislocation to
272
00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:29.900
banking to markets sure it could happen
273
00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:32.900
again. Who knows right? Everybody's got a crystal
274
00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:33.100
ball.
275
00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:37.700
Nobody's usually right spot on about what's gonna happen, but
276
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.400
it's a potential risk that you want. Hey, look this might happen, but
277
00:14:40.300 --> 00:14:41.000
we'll survive.
278
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.200
Yeah, no, absolutely. And as you said before, I mean, it seems like the markets
279
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:45.300
have.
280
00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:49.600
sort of shrugged off those headlines because we've seen some pretty decent returns
281
00:14:49.100 --> 00:14:52.000
and in q1, but I think you know in
282
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:56.500
Let's let's go back to the text docs, right? I mean that's what's really
283
00:14:56.300 --> 00:14:57.800
leading the charge here, isn't it?
284
00:14:58.800 --> 00:14:59.000
well
285
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.800
I think there are a lot of Dynamics at play.
286
00:15:02.400 --> 00:15:06.000
But underpinning all of that is risk and reward right?
287
00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:08.800
I mean that at the end of the day, it's that simple
288
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.700
what are the risks and what are the rewards and how much am I
289
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.400
willing to pay for those rewards? And am I underestimating those
290
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.800
risks? Right? So everything is sort of a function of those things
291
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.000
and so I would say look in equities. The the
292
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.200
tech stocks is a risk, right? There's there's certainly reward
293
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.400
there's upside there. We're seeing it in terms of markets, but I think there's risk
294
00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:31.800
right in fixed income. There's potential
295
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.600
risk associated with the yield curve
296
00:15:34.400 --> 00:15:39.000
and what happens with the fed and raising rates in areas,
297
00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:41.600
like financials. There's risks
298
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:44.800
right associated with that. I think the key
299
00:15:44.500 --> 00:15:47.800
takeaway for that for anybody looking at
300
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:48.300
it is
301
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.500
Broad diversification not just in
302
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.600
one geography not just inequities not just in fixed income
303
00:15:55.300 --> 00:15:58.300
across factors as much as you
304
00:15:58.300 --> 00:16:01.800
can broadly diversify the more robust your portfolio is to
305
00:16:01.300 --> 00:16:04.200
stand up to any of those unique risks.
306
00:16:04.900 --> 00:16:06.800
And so I would I would say.
307
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:12.100
That that would be where I would encourage investors to
308
00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:13.100
sort of keep their heads.
309
00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:17.400
I it's always challenging when you have tech stocks doing
310
00:16:17.300 --> 00:16:20.800
as well as they are because they drive
311
00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:23.700
markets you want to be there. You want to participate in it.
312
00:16:23.500 --> 00:16:27.400
There's a a benefit socially to
313
00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:30.100
holding names that people are familiar
314
00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:33.000
with and talk about right if you think about the
315
00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:36.000
fomo experience that people have
316
00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:38.900
missing if you're missing out, right? Yeah, my next
317
00:16:38.900 --> 00:16:41.900
door neighbor. He's he's got Google and apple and they're tear on
318
00:16:41.900 --> 00:16:45.800
the cover off the ball. Never mind. What happened last year right now, I gotta you
319
00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:48.500
know, keep up with the Joneses on that water cooler. Alpha
320
00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:51.600
is what I call that. Yeah water cooler Alpha and I would just
321
00:16:51.300 --> 00:16:54.900
say hey look at the end of the day. We're people right if we
322
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.800
were autonomous, you know Vulcans. This would just be
323
00:16:57.700 --> 00:17:01.000
economics and math and we can figure it all out reality is
324
00:17:00.900 --> 00:17:04.700
we're people and you got to build a portfolio you can live with right as
325
00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.300
our as our good friend Phil Henry says, you
326
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:10.700
got to build a portfolio you can live with and then live with it, right? I think
327
00:17:10.700 --> 00:17:13.400
that's absolutely true. And so you have to take into account.
328
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.700
The the investor psychology associated with this that's
329
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.200
why I think momentum is such a
330
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.500
powerful factor to build into your portfolios
331
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.200
because momentum picks up
332
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.400
these like when tech stocks going to run you end up
333
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:33.400
owning things like Apple and Google and because they
334
00:17:32.900 --> 00:17:37.100
are demonstrating positive momentum, right? So you you're picking
335
00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.800
up some of that you're participating in that upside and I
336
00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:42.900
think as a as an investor, that's that would probably be enough for
337
00:17:42.800 --> 00:17:46.400
me, right? It's a modicum of the things that I everybody else
338
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.400
is holding that that's working but it's also stuff that's not working
339
00:17:49.300 --> 00:17:52.400
because eventually that circles around and that becomes the thing
340
00:17:52.300 --> 00:17:55.600
that's worth. I don't have to try and time it. I'm just holding it and I'm
341
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.600
waiting keeping my powder dry in that area so that when it
342
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:02.100
does I benefit that that's how I would think about it look again
343
00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:03.100
tech stocks are
344
00:18:04.300 --> 00:18:08.300
The amazing thing about markets is they run longer than you think they should right. They're
345
00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:12.100
fueled by stuff. Sometimes you don't understand and and
346
00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:15.100
in many cases, I think the
347
00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:18.500
tech stock Dynamic is is part
348
00:18:17.800 --> 00:18:21.300
fairy dust, right and you know,
349
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.500
we watched it run for a decade and drive markets, you know
350
00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:28.800
for you know, double digit returns for years because
351
00:18:27.800 --> 00:18:31.900
that happen again, of course, it could right. I'm not
352
00:18:31.900 --> 00:18:35.700
gonna tell you again. I am cautious about the
353
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.600
dynamic being set up looking very similar to
354
00:18:38.500 --> 00:18:42.200
the dynamic that we saw at you know, 2019 2020.
355
00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:45.000
Yeah. No, absolutely and you know that seems like that tech
356
00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:47.900
store keeps popping up. I started my career in the late 90s and that was the
357
00:18:47.800 --> 00:18:50.600
whole story and then I saw a lot of portfolios.
358
00:18:51.300 --> 00:18:55.100
A lot of people see their portfolios blow up but because of overexposure to
359
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.500
to technology and they having a
360
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:02.400
balanced portfolio Diversified across multiple asset classes regions geographies.
361
00:19:01.900 --> 00:19:05.000
That's that's the best course of action at the
362
00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:10.100
end of the day. So yeah, I think I go back to the the E-Trade
363
00:19:09.300 --> 00:19:12.600
baby, right if you remember the E-Trade baby so easy
364
00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:15.800
baby. Yeah that was born right on the text actually and then
365
00:19:15.600 --> 00:19:18.700
they they put the baby away for a while baby's back right now. I was
366
00:19:18.600 --> 00:19:21.800
a little bit older now, he's out of the wedding, you know hanging out
367
00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:25.200
with this guys and gals but to
368
00:19:24.800 --> 00:19:28.200
me that a Hallmark of a caution, right because
369
00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:32.000
the reality is it's it's easy but
370
00:19:31.600 --> 00:19:34.900
hard right it's not you know, it's not
371
00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:38.500
difficult to say. Hey look broadly based diversification sit still it's
372
00:19:37.700 --> 00:19:41.000
incredibly difficult to do. Yeah, right and that's where
373
00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:45.100
the real benefit of working with financial professionals comes in because everybody
374
00:19:44.300 --> 00:19:47.900
thinks they can do it everybody. They're gonna be Spock
375
00:19:47.300 --> 00:19:50.600
and devoid of emotion, but then the moment of truth comes
376
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:54.200
The market drops 40% and you're looking at like am I gonna
377
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:57.400
be able to retire? Right and the fear grips hold and it's
378
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.900
2 am and you're thinking what do I do? Right. That's
379
00:20:00.300 --> 00:20:03.400
when you need to have that dispassionate third party
380
00:20:03.300 --> 00:20:07.700
to pick up the phone and say I want to sell everything. They whoa. Let's
381
00:20:07.100 --> 00:20:11.000
revisit right like is anything changed? Oh the
382
00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.700
market drop 40% right has anything in your life changed right?
383
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.800
Maybe that's not the best course of action. Let's take a beat having that
384
00:20:16.600 --> 00:20:20.000
dispassionate a third party to keep you from blowing yourself up
385
00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:23.000
at that exact moment is invaluable. Yeah
386
00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:26.400
and making sure you have the right mix between stocks bonds
387
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.900
and maybe even Alternatives depending on the investor and if someone
388
00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:33.000
can't sleep at night, it's not necessarily that they should take action,
389
00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:35.800
but they might be in the wrong asset allocation for
390
00:20:35.600 --> 00:20:36.200
their
391
00:20:37.300 --> 00:20:41.000
The risk, you know their ability to accept right? Yeah,
392
00:20:40.600 --> 00:20:45.800
it could be that often. What I've
393
00:20:45.500 --> 00:20:48.800
experienced is when it's that it's because the client wanted
394
00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:52.000
more Tech right in their portfolios or more of what's
395
00:20:51.700 --> 00:20:55.100
working, right? And then when that's no longer working, they
396
00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:57.700
can't sleep at night, but cautionary Tale the other
397
00:20:57.700 --> 00:21:01.900
piece of that is we're surrounded by the news 24/7
398
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:04.600
right? It's just and it's always the whatever
399
00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:07.700
bleeds leads right? And so it's this constant
400
00:21:07.100 --> 00:21:12.200
drum beat of kind of negative stuff. And I think that investors
401
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:13.700
need a voice.
402
00:21:14.600 --> 00:21:18.000
That that they trust to say. Hey, yeah. No I
403
00:21:17.800 --> 00:21:21.600
saw that too. Yes, that bank went out of business. Here's
404
00:21:20.800 --> 00:21:24.600
why we shouldn't Panic here, right? Yep. We
405
00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:28.300
see all that. Here's why we're gonna stay the course. Here's why we're not gonna Panic. Here's
406
00:21:27.800 --> 00:21:31.200
what let's you know, our long-term goals are and we're in good
407
00:21:31.100 --> 00:21:35.000
shape to hit those. I think that sort of calming reassurance
408
00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:37.700
helps people get back to sleeping at night. Yeah. No,
409
00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:40.800
I agree Casey as always. It's a pleasure talking to you.
