Economy & Markets

4 charts to help put today's turmoil in perspective

Mar 21, 2023

Bank failures have rattled investors, but don’t let a bad month (or even year) derail your long-term financial plans

Markets have been turbulent since March roared in, rattling investors in two different ways. First was the uncertainty driving the inflation debate: Was the economy still overheating, or nearing recession? Already shaken, stock markets were then hit by two rapid bank failures. Investors worried about whether worse might lie ahead. Was the economy heading to the brink of another financial crisis?

Intervention by regulators and the Federal Reserve (Fed) calmed markets somewhat, as of the time of writing 72 hours later. Still, the most substantial bank failures since 2008 have many investors on edge. We understand—the global financial crisis may be 15 years behind us, but many people were scarred by the contagion, wealth destruction and job losses that were its hallmarks.

We expect bad months—even bad years. In one of its most volatile years, the market plunged over 40%. Another year, stocks soared 60%. Yet a blended stock-bond portfolio hasn’t suffered a negative return over any five-year rolling period.1 Further, in an average year, the stock market sees a close to 15% peak-to-trough decline. Currently, the year-to-date drawdown is 8%. While drawdowns are never comfortable, what we are seeing in markets is, at the surface, normal. 

So while we look at the dynamics currently in play and consider what they might mean for you, keep that long-term perspective in mind.

Here are our three key takeaways.  

The crises at Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and then Signature Bank ignited in investors a fear of contagion—that many other regional banks could follow.

But SVB and Signature Bank were different. They had unusually high concentrations of large deposits—far above the $250,000 insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). And in the case of SVB, almost all the depositors were venture funds and the businesses they backed.

As Chairman of Market and Investment Strategy Michael Cembalest explained in his Eye on the Market and again last week, SVB sourced less than 10% of its deposits from retail clients, who are viewed as “stickier,” meaning far less likely to move their money than corporate or institutional depositors.

SVB also had a large book of securities investments that lost value this past year as the Fed raised rates, and the value of the bank’s long-term bonds declined.

Uninsured deposit balances were higher at SVB and Signature

% of bank deposits above FDIC guarantee threshold

This chart shows the % of deposits above FDIC guarantee threshold as of the end of 2022 across 20 banks. •SBNY 90% •SIVB 88% •C 85% •FRC 68% •CMA 64% •JPM 59% •WAL 55% •ZION 53% •PACW 52% •CFG 49% •KEY 47% •PNC 46% •TFC 46% •USB 46% •MTB 45% •FITB 42% •BAC 37% •RF 37% •WFC 37% •HBAN 32%

The Fed, the FDIC and Treasury took actions to make all depositors whole and provide liquidity to the banking system. Those lending facilities ought to help avoid some of the worst-case scenarios.

Banks will probably be more conservative with their lending practices from here. That could lead banks to pull back the amount of credit they provide to small and medium-size businesses, which could restrain economic growth. At the same time, conservative lending practices can act like a Fed rate hike, “tightening” money policy. That might persuade the Fed to opt for a less aggressive path for interest rates.

SVB’s other distinguishing factor is that deposits were highly concentrated in the technology and healthcare/life sciences spaces. Signature Bank, for its part, had a focus on the crypto sector. In the case of SVB, in excess of one-third of its deposit base was from early-stage tech and healthcare companies.

Such companies are often (as yet) unprofitable, speculative and digitally enabled. They soared during lockdowns, when lives moved online and interest rates were extremely low. But now, under the opposite conditions (public life reopening, the quickest rate hikes in a generation), investors are far less enthusiastic, capital markets have largely been closed to them, and fundraising has become difficult. Their very viability was at stake, as they burned cash without fresh fund inflows.

As noted, we don’t see this scenario at other regional banks. And that leads us to a second key point: SVB is in many ways the latest (and largest) example of the tech recession that has been unfolding over the last six months.

According to tracking from layoffs.fyi, 481 tech companies announced headcount reductions just this year. But there are some tentative signs that the tech layoff wave may have crested. As the chart shows, the number of tech employees laid off seems to have peaked in January. 

The tech layoff wave may have crested

# of employees laid off (Left) & # of companies with layoffs (Right)

Source: layoffs.fyi. Data as of March 14, 2023.
The chart depicts two sets of data, one on the number of employees laid off in a month and the other one on the number of companies with layoffs in a month. For # of employees laid off, the series started in January 2022, where 510 employees were laid off. Later # of employees laid off peaked at 18144 in June 2022 before going down and troughed in September 2022, where 5881 employees were laid off. Then it bounced back and reached an unprecedented peak in January 2023 with 84714 employees laid off in that month. The latest data point is from March 2023 where so far in this month 16947 employees were laid off. For # of companies with layoffs, the series started in January 2022 as well with 4 companies laying off employees. Later it increased to a high point in June 2022 with 196 companies laying off employees that month. Then it declined and bottomed out in September 2022 in which 94 companies laid off employees. Then it bounced all the way back and peaked in January 2023, where 269 companies conducted layoffs. Then it fell drastically with the latest data point coming in March 2023. So far in March 2023, 47 companies have laid off employees.

It has been a rough stretch for the technology complex in general, but it may be time for investors to start to sort through the wreckage. We expect to see opportunities in businesses with leaner cost structures and sustainable business models that may be valued at a discount.

The irony of the SVB failure is that it occurred in the same day that investors got a “goldilocks” jobs report for the month of February. The U.S. economy added 311,000 jobs in February, while wage growth ticked down to just a 0.2% month-over-month increase. Over the last three months, the economy has gained an average of 350,000 jobs per month with wage growth a modest 3.5%, consistent with the pace in 2019.

Rate hikes have caused some damage in the real estate, finance and technology sectors, but Main Street continues to chug along without creating excess wage growth.

Wage growth easing from highs

Average hourly earnings, SA, 3-month % change annualized

Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Haver Analytics. Data as of February 28, 2023.
The chart describes the Average Hourly Earnings data for Total Private Industries. It took the % change of every 3-month and annualized it to get the data series. The first data point came in at 2.8% in July 2006, then it went up and down until it peaked at 24.2% in April 2020. Then immediately after, it dropped to -8.0%in July 2020 before bouncing back to 6.5% in June 2021 until the latest data point at 3.6% in February 2023.

What do we see ahead? The turmoil in the banking sector will likely curtail new lending, and thus economic growth and inflation. The Fed may not have to raise rates quite as far as we had thought just a few weeks ago. The bad news: it probably also raises recession risks.

When markets are volatile, we believe it is important to remember a few things. 

  • Stick to your plan. One of the most important steps in investing is designing a plan and a portfolio to match it. Understanding the purpose of an investment portfolio and the tools that you use to achieve outcomes can help you make better decisions in uncertain times.
  • Market volatility tends to cluster. Our research shows that seven of the 10 best days for the equity market over the past 20 years have occurred within 15 days of the 10 worst days. If you missed just the 10 best days, it would have reduced your total return by 4% per year, relative to staying invested.
  • Focus on the long term. Markets can have bad days, weeks and years. But over a longer time horizon, we can be much more certain about the range of possible outcomes. A 50/50 portfolio of stocks and bonds has never delivered a negative total return over a five-year time horizon. Equities have always been positive over a 20-year horizon.

Long term returns have been less volatile

While there could be more strain ahead, policymakers have the tools to mitigate a great deal of risk and point to a clearer path forward. Coming back to that long-term mindset can do the same for you.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENTS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Conflicts of interest will arise whenever JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates (together, “J.P. Morgan”) have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.

Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio’s investment objective.

As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.

While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward-looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.

The Six Circles Funds are U.S.-registered mutual funds managed by J.P. Morgan and sub-advised by third parties. Although considered internally managed strategies, JPMC does not retain a fee for fund management or other fund services.
