The failure of Silicon Valley Bank, left many wondering about the safety of their savings. As we record this, the government’s actions appear to have won a reprieve in the banking panic. Is the government fix a finger in the dam holding back a flood of public mistrust of banks or will events spread across the financial industry to include other regional banks and even traditional custodians such as Charles Schwab? What caused this crisis to begin with? Will we see other bank failures? Is my money safe? To answer these questions and more, we’re joined by Warren Fisher, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Manole Capital. Warren has over 20 years of portfolio management and analyst experience at Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Fortress Investments focused on public financial and technology companies. In 2015, he founded Manole Capital to focus exclusively on the FinTech industry.
