Credit Suisse 4Q22:

Asset = 531 billions

Equity = 45 billions

Revenue = 15 billions

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_Suisse

SVB Annual report 2022:

Asset = 211 billions

Equity = 16 billions

Revenue = 7.4 billions

Here there is also an interesting plot of bank failures since 2001 that I found on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/11ukpfj/bank_failures_20012023_inflation_adjusted/

Misses all the big ones though?

No Lehman, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac…

But it was AIG bankruptcy that was the real headshot in 2008.

No underwriter = no transactions.

You are correct, the big famous ones you mentioned do not seem to appear in the original dataset from the FDIC (https://www.fdic.gov/bank/historical/bank/) that was used for the plot.

Do you have any guess on why that might be?
