With the recent collapse of SVB bank, it is important to consider the impact of bank failures and the importance of diversifying your investments.

Below are 5 steps you should take now:

Consider moving funds: If you have deposits or investments that exceed the FDIC insurance limits, consider moving these funds to another bank or financial institution to protect your assets.
Review contractual agreements: Review any contractual agreements you have with SVB bank and consider the impact of the bank's collapse on these agreements.
Stay informed: Stay informed about developments related to the SVB bank collapse and any regulatory changes that may affect your financial situation.
