The Federal Reserve revealed its findings on Friday, identifying the causes behind the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank as a prime example of mismanagement. The report also acknowledges the Fed's own insufficient oversight of the institution.

The analysis highlights the rapid growth of the bank and the challenges faced by Fed supervisors in pinpointing the bank's vulnerabilities. It also points to their hesitancy in compelling the bank to address these issues. Fed Vice Chair for Supervision, Michael S. Barr, led the review and concluded in a letter that Silicon Valley Bank's failure is a classic case of mismanagement. He stated, "The senior leadership neglected to manage essential interest rate and liquidity risks, and the board of directors failed in their duty to oversee senior leadership and hold them accountable."
