Settlement
The system allows to settle in two processing modes:
 |
Settlement
by default, in which the deals are considered as settled by default
at settlement date. If a counterpart fails to settle, the settlement
reversal function is used. |
 |
Selective
settlement, in which the deals are settled using an on-line function
that allows the user to select individual deals or group of deals
to be settled. |
Securities
settlement
The two
levels of securities deals release approach enables the generation of
settlement instructions to be retained until a later date. It is possible
to specify an earliest settlement date, before this date, release for
settlement is not possible. It is also possible to retain a deal manually
to prevent one or both levels of release from occurring.
The system
allows for up to ten partial settlements, each of which may involve
securities, cash or both. The facility could be used to represent payment
in three equal installments followed by delivery of securities. This
example would be stored as four partial settlements.
