The exact change
The article's comparison table stated SVB passed a 2022 stress test, described VaR as a maximum-loss probability, and said SVB's HTM losses were invisible in public reporting.
Removed the SVB stress-test claim and dated its first supervisory test to 2024, corrected VaR to a threshold measure that does not bound tail losses, and clarified that SVB's HTM losses were disclosed in footnotes though excluded from headline capital.
Suggested change
See before/after.
Why this is better
These were verifiable factual errors about stress-test history, the definition of VaR, and financial-statement disclosure. Corrections use the Federal Reserve's SVB review and standard risk definitions rather than new unverified sources.
