History of Settlement Date
Settlement is simply the exchange of money for securities that have been purchased. In years past, before the advent of the computer, automobiles, and the like, settlement could occur days or even weeks after the trade was completed. Horses and ships just couldn’t transfer money and hand-written securities in a matter of days.
Nomenclature
The current American settlement date is written as T+2. T stands for the trade date, and the 2 represents 2 business days later. (Notice that this is business days, and not days.) The older system can be expressed as T+3 or T+5, etc.
Foreign Markets
Some foreign countries have transitioned to T+2 as well. Most European countries, for example moved to T+2 in 2014. Australia also uses T+2 as of 2016. Hong Kong uses T+2, although some trades settle on the trade date. When the U.S. went to T+2, so did Canada and Mexico.
