Abstract: The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in March 2023 and its resulting impact on global banking markets have already been exhaustively reported and analysed. This paper examines these events through two different but complementary lenses, root cause analysis and key assumptions check. Together, these methods provide a detailed picture of the causes and derive fact-based conclusions intended to prevent repetition of the mistakes made by SVB's executives and the US banking authorities.
