Macro Hive sample report on Silicon Valley Bank (co-written by Mustafa Chowdury): https://macrohive.com/hive-exclusives/silicon-valley-bank-how-the-government-plans-to-contain-the-fallout/

Just how bad was the risk management at Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) when it came to the threat of rising rates? And now that rates have exploded higher over the past year, is this interest rate risk limited to only a few banks, or are these risks spread throughout the entire U.S. banking system?

Jack’s today is uniquely qualified to answer these questions. Mustafa Chowdury, chief rates strategist at Macro Hive, practically invented the field of interest rate risk management, and two decades ago he was successfully managing interest rate risk on Freddie Mac’s giant portfolio of mortgages worth hundreds of billions of dollars (several times that of Silicon Valley Bank). Chowdury argues that, contrary to claims otherwise, the U.S. banking system was not sufficiently hedged for last year’s rapid rise in interest rates.
