Embracing Efficiency: How we Facilitate the Shift to T+1 Settlements

As the deadline approaches for a massive, required shift for the industry on T+1 settlements on May 28, 2024, the time for market participants to upgrade and streamline their trading and post-trade processes is now. This transition not only represents a shift in settlement cycles but also a broader move towards digital agility and operational efficiency.

The Challenge of T+1 Settlements

The move from T+2 to a T+1 cycle is pressing financial institutions to enhance their technological infrastructure and operational strategies.? Ionixx has firsthand experience in this field from our involvement when the Australian Stock Exchange upgraded to T+1 settlement cycle in 2019. This accelerated timeframe demands robust, error-free processing capabilities to handle increased volumes and the complexity of transactions. Your Strategic Partner in Achieving Excellence

While May 28, 2024 is a deadline, we also understand it is the beginning of many of these improvements.?The logical pathway is to become compliant “by any means necessary” immediately, then slowly improve over time. Ionixx has forged many long-term relationships in this manner - proving ourselves over time with multiple specializations, not only in tech but in trading:

• Advanced Technological Integration: Utilizing Automation, we enhance the precision and efficiency of your pre-trade, intra-trade, and post-trade processes.
• Optimized Data Management: Our robust APIs and cloud solutions facilitate a seamless data flow and integration, which are critical for maintaining the necessary pace and reliability in a T+1 environment.
• Streamlined Compliance and Risk Management: Our advanced compliance tools monitor transactions in real-time, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards and effective risk management.

Enhanced Trade Surveillance Systems

In the dynamic setting of T+1 settlements, robust trade surveillance systems are crucial. These technologies detect and prevent market manipulation and trading anomalies as they occur, enabling compliance officers to respond promptly and effectively. Recently, JP Morgan was fined over $300 million for failures in surveillance that did not detect or prevent market manipulation, underscoring the critical need for effective systems. Integrating these systems helps ensure that your operations comply with strict regulations while upholding the integrity and transparency of the trading processes.
