By Nik Pratt Verified| Funds Europe Verified When the US announced its intention to shorten its securities settlement cycle from two days to one (T+2 to T+1), there was an inevitability that the EU and UK would have to follow suit – to avoid a funding gap for any transatlantic trades and also to keep pace with best practices in operational efficiencies.
By Nik Pratt Verified| Funds Europe Verified According to as number of buy-side firms the biggest lesson learned from the US move to T+1 was the importance of automation. There has been a realisation that firms cannot continue to throw bodies at the problem or be invested in low-cost locations forever. Instead, participants have to start looking at their workflow, especially in Europe where there is significant fragmentation. Everyone does the same thing slightly differently and that has always made cross-border settlement problematic.
