In May 2024, U.S., Canadian, and Mexican trades moved to T+1 settlement. The move from the previous T+2 cycle seeks to reduce settlement risk, and reduce liquidity, margin, and collateral requirements. Other countries across the world are now assessing similar moves.
In addition to enhancing custody and settlements, the move has had a ripple effect on many processes across the securities trade lifecycle impacting all global asset managers and financial institutions.
It has also created an opportunity to automate and enhance previously manual or inefficient processes to meet the heightened demands and constrained timelines inherent in the move to shorter settlement cycles.

T+7 days
June 4, 2024 -After months of analysis, deliberations, hard work and more than a little trepidation as deadline day loomed, U.S. T+1 is fully up and running. The main takeaway from week one is that apart from an initial night delivery issue at the DTCC last Tuesday and some teething issues at the Canadian Securities Depository on a subset of securities, the first week of accelerated settlement for U.S. securities has gone well overall.
