Regular way contracts
Regular way is a finance term describing a trade that is settled through the regular settlement cycle for that particular investment. The settlement cycle starts the day the trade is made and ends when it is paid for.
Settlement cycle
A regular-way trade settles according to the standard settlement cycle that applies to the relevant market and security. In the United States, the standard settlement cycle for most broker-dealer securities transactions was shortened from T+2 to T+1, with a compliance date of 28 May 2024.[1]
The settlement date is the date on which the trade is finalised and cash and securities are exchanged between buyer and seller. FINRA explains that under T+1, most securities transactions settle on the next business day following the transaction date, although settlement conventions may differ for some products or markets.[2]
