Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 24, 2015, SVB Financial Group (the “Company”) released its company-run capital stress test results, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and the regulations implemented by the Federal Reserve Board (“Federal Reserve”) thereunder. The results are for both the Company and its principal banking subsidiary, Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”).

Pursuant to applicable requirements, the results are based on a scenario with hypothetical severely adverse macroeconomic assumptions prescribed by the Federal Reserve. The scenario is not a forecast of economic conditions and the results should not be viewed or relied upon as forecasts of actual financial results for the Company or the Bank.

A copy of the summary of results is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in this report and in the exhibit hereto is intended to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
