SVB’s collapse was largely due to duration mismatch. This means that the bank failed to match the duration of loans with the duration of assets.
The events of the last few days are a stark reminder that fixed income investors need to pay attention to their duration matching strategy by matching the duration of their bond portfolio with their investment horizon. If they don’t, they risk becoming excessively sensitive to the kind of interest rate hikes that brought SVB to its knees.
