The goal of the T+1 settlement forum is to enable members to understand how a shorter settlement cycle in the global capital markets will impact their firm, systems and processes. As the major global capital markets move to T+1 or T 0 all the different firms that make up the settlement eco system will need to plan and adapt. This can be accomplished by engaging with practitioners across the Capital Markets post trade ecosystem, to focus on operational and business processes that can be, practically, introduced to enable real-time settlement activities.
T+1 settlement forum members will gain knowledge from events and engagement with academia, via ISITC Europe’s funded research output. The T+1 settlement forum will provide a dedicated platform for post-trade leaders from across the financial markets spectrum, bringing together the buy side, sell side and those firms that underpin the capital markets.. To facilitate engagement of thought leadership, practical knowledge and collaboration in order to share best practice and drive operational efficiency. A focus area will be innovation, as an enabler of efficiency, to support the industry in increasing automation.
The Global Securities Markets have many different organisations trying to bring efficiencies in post trade operations. However, this forum aims to stimulate debate between firms in both the wholesale and retail markets to produce better operation by understanding the impacts of change across the whole of the supply chain.
