Wealthy Investors Seek Alternatives Amid SVB Collapse Fallout

Wealthy investors and family offices are moving more of their money out of bank cash balances and into Treasurys, money markets and other short-term instruments, following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and potential cracks in the network of regional banks.
