And they were betting on lower interest rates. I hadn't heard this before. '' Additionally, the problem of Silicon Valley Bank may be specific to the bank itself, as the decisions on how they managed their bonds appeared to be conscious. A Wall Street Journal article noted that the bank allowed $14 billion in hedges to expire, exposing the bank to rising rates and contributing to its financial issues. Furthermore, by mid-2022, the bank indicated in a presentation to investors that it shifted its focus to protecting itself from falling rates. This left the bank exposed to further increases in interest rates. It appears the bank bet on rates dropping and lost.''
