March Market Update

For this week’s Evergreen Virtual Advisor, we are releasing a podcast with our Director of Private Wealth, Jeff Otis and our Co-CIO, Jeff Dicks to summarize recent events in the banking industry.

Some topics they cover:

• What events led up to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank?
• What actions did the government take to reduce the risk of contagion and stabilize the banking industry?
• How are client accounts protected at brokerage houses in comparison to banks?

As always, thank you for listening!
