Settlement date

Settlement date

Settlement Date is a securities industry term describing the date on which a trade (bonds, equities, foreign exchange, commodities etc) s. That is, the actual day on which transfer of cash or assets is completed.

It is not necessarily the same as value date (when the settlement "amount" is calculated). For instance, the back office may require a few days to make payment. This gap (between valuation and settlement) is often written into the financial contract, although the actual settlement date can also differ from that originally specified because of problems or errors.

It is occasionally referred to as Contractual Settlement Date.
