Settlement securities is a business process in which securities or interests in securities are sent, usually to (in simultaneous exchange for) payment of money, to fulfill contractual obligations, as arising under securities trading.
In the United States, the settlement date for marketable shares is usually 2 business days or T 2 after trading is exercised, and for registered options and government securities usually 1 day after execution. In Europe, the settlement date has also been adopted as a 2-day T2 work completion cycle.
As part of the performance of the shipping obligations required by trading, settlement involves the delivery of securities and payments accordingly.
A number of risks arise for the parties during the settlement interval, managed by the clearing process, which follows the trades and precedes the settlement. Clearing involves modifying contractual obligations so as to facilitate completion, often with nets and innovations.

Settlement involves the transmission of securities from one party to another. Delivery usually occurs on payments known as delivery versus payments, but some deliveries are made without appropriate payments (sometimes referred to as free submissions , free payments or FOP delivery, or in the United States, free delivery versus ). Examples of unpaid shipping are the delivery of a security guarantee against a securities loan, and a delivery made in accordance with the margin call.
Traditional_ (physical) _settlement "> Traditional Settlement (physical)
Prior to modern financial market technologies and methods such as deposits and securities held in electronic form, securities settlement involves the physical movement of paper instruments, or certificates and transfer forms. Payments are usually made with a paper check after being received by a registrar or a properly negotiated transfer agent of the certificate and other necessary documents. Physical settlement securities still exist in today's modern market largely for private securities (limited or unregistered) compared to publicly traded securities (exchange); however, today's money payments are usually made via electronic funds transfer (in the US, bank wire transfers are made through the Fedwire Federal Reserve system). Physical/paper settlements involve higher risks, as long as paper instruments, certificates, and transfer forms are subject to electronic media risk not, such as loss, theft, administrative errors, and forgery (see indirect hold system).
The US securities market is experiencing what is known as "the paper crunch," as the pending settlement threatens to disrupt securities market operations leading to the establishment of an electronic settlement through the Central Securities Depository, in particular the Depository Trust Company (DTC), and finally its parents, The Depository Trust & amp; Clearing Company. In the UK, paper-based paper-related weaknesses were exposed by the nationalized industrialized privatization program of the 1980s, and the 1986 Big Bang caused an explosion in trading volume, and resettlement delays became significant. In the market collapse of 1987, many investors sought to limit their losses by selling their securities, but found that timely completion failures made them exposed.
Electronic completion
The electronic settlement system came largely as a result of the Clearance and Settlement System in the World Securities Market , a major report in 1989 by the Washington-based think tank Group of Thirty. This report makes nine recommendations with a view to achieving a more efficient solution. This was followed up in 2003 with the report, Clearing and Settlement: Action Plan, with 20 recommendations.
In the electronic settlement system, electronic settlement occurs among the participants. If a non-participant wishes to accomplish his interests, he must do so through the participant acting as the guard. Participant interests are recorded by credit entries in securities accounts managed by their names by the system operator. This allows for a quick and efficient settlement by removing the need for documents, and delivery of securities together with the payment of an appropriate amount of cash (called delivery versus payment, or DVP) in an agreed currency.

Legal significance
After the trade and before the settlement, the buyer's rights are contractual and therefore private. Since they are only private, their rights are at risk in the event of vendor bankruptcy. Upon completion, the buyer has securities and their rights are property rights. Settlement is the delivery of securities to complete the trade. It involves the promotion of private rights into property rights and thereby protecting market participants from the risk of failure of their partners.
Immobilization and dematerialization
Immobilization and dematerialization are two broad goals of electronic settlement. Both were identified by influential reports by the Thirty Group in 1989.
Immobilisation
Immobilization involves the use of securities in paper and the use of Central Securities Depository or more than one, electronically related to the settlement system. Securities (whether established by paper instruments or represented by paper certificates) can not move in the sense that they are deposited by the depository at any time. In the historical transition from paper-based practice to electronic practice, immobilization often serves as a transitional phase before dematerialization.
The Depository Trust Company in New York is the world's largest immobilizer of securities. Euroclear and Clearstream Banking, Luxembourg are two important examples of the international immobilization system. Both Eurobonds initially settled, but now various kinds of international securities are settled through them including various types of state debt and equity securities.
Dematerialisation
Dematerialization involves spending with paper instruments and certificates. The materialized securities only exist in the form of electronic records. The impact of the law of dematerialization differs in relation to the carrier and its registered securities.
Direct and indirect holding system
In a direct holding system, participants hold the underlying securities directly. The settlement system does not stand in the chain of ownership, but only serves as a channel for the communication of participants to the issuer.
