On 5 September 2017, the securities industry successfully
implemented an amended rule adopted by the SEC last March that
shortens the standard settlement cycle for most broker-dealer
securities transactions by one business day, to two business days
following the trade date, thus bringing the U.S. settlement cycle

shortened standard settlement cycle.
