- The investor group includes Centerbridge Partners LP, Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, and Pacific Investment Management Co. (Pimco).
- The group now holds a substantial part of SVB Financial's $3.4 billion face value of bonds after it bought them into the weekend as they traded down to around 30 cents on the dollar, The Wall Street Journal reported.
- The bondholder group could profit if SVB Financial's assets fetch a high enough valuation in any such auction. The report added that when a company's assets are sold through bankruptcy, the proceeds often flow to its creditors.
- The Federal Reserve is reportedly mulling stricter rules and oversight for midsize banks that are similar in size to the collapsed Silicon Valley Bank.
- A review of the bank's failure by Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr could pave the way for strengthened rules on banks in the $100 billion to $250 billion range.
