Here is what Tweedy, Browne has to say about Signature Bank (OTC:SBNY) in its Q1 2023 investor letter:

“Many, if not most, stocks held in the Funds’ portfolios performed quite well in the first quarter. In contrast, the Funds received very little in the way of return contributions from many of their financial, energy, media, and healthcare holdings. The Funds’ bank holdings faced headwinds from declining interest rates and a midquarter banking crisis which led to the failure of two US banks which includes Signature Bank (OTC:SBNY). While it would appear that a crisis was avoided by the quick intervention of bank regulators in the US and Switzerland, some uneasiness still remains in the global banking community.”
