The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) sent shockwaves through markets. As the 16th largest bank in the US with a significant presence in the tech sector, publicly-listed companies with funds held at the bank were left in limbo.
While US regulators have since calmed the market by confirming Monday that no deposit holders would suffer losses, it remains the second biggest banking fail in US history and the consequences are likely still being untangled.
Dozens of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) hold shares of SVB’s parent company SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ: SIVB). Meanwhile, a number of US-listed companies hold funds directly at SVB.
Should ETF investors be worried?
Investors holding sector-based financial or cryptocurrency themed ETFs will have seen their portfolios dip. For instance the BlackRock Future Financial & Technology ETF (BPAY) fell nearly 6% following the news on Friday.
However the impact for broad-based index fund holders (typical ETFs) is likely to be minimal.
It’s worth remembering that ETFs typically passively track an index of many multiple stocks. Any one stock in an ETF portfolio tends to make up less than 1% of the total. In the case where a stock collapses, it’s usually replaced by another on the index.
S&P Indices have reportedly said Insulet Corp. (PODD) will replace SVB Financial Group in the S&P 500 index by Wednesday.
The following are ETFs with the most exposure to SVB Financial, according to ETF.com. Data is accurate as of March 14, 2023.
