Solution

As an AI, I don't have real-time access to specific case studies or events, including the failure of Silicon Valley Bank. However, I can tell you that all the options mentioned (a, b, c) could potentially contribute to the failure of a bank from a risk management perspective.

a) Insufficient diversification of the bank’s investment portfolio with too much concentration into high-risk tech startups: This could lead to significant losses if these startups fail.

b) Excessive reliance on the rolling over of short-term deposit funding to support long-term asset investments: This could create a liquidity risk if the bank is unable to meet its short-term obligations.

c) Failure to hedge against interest rate risks associated with its bond portfolio in an environment of rising interest rates: This could lead to losses if the value of the bonds decreases due to rising interest rates.

Without specific information about the case, it's impossible to determine which factor contributed most significantly to the failure of Silicon Valley Bank. Therefore, the answer could be e) a., b., and c. are all correct, if all these factors were present and contributed to the bank's failure. However, you should refer to the specific details provided in your study materials to determine the correct answer.
