Settlement

Back to Index

 
Definition:
Settlement is the second half of a transaction process (such as a securities trade) in which securities are delivered, usually in exchange for payment. Settlement is preceeded by the clearing process, which facilitates the completion of a trade. Securities can sometimes be delivered without any payment if used as collateral against a loan or to satisfy a margin call.
