CHICAGO, March 20, 2024 – Sterling Trading Tech (STT), a leading global provider of technology in order management, risk and margin, and trading, today announced that it is working with brokerages, clearing firms, and market participants to assure their complete compliance with the SEC’s new rule to a T+1 settlement cycle on trades from the current T+2 cycle.

The SEC stated on February 15, 2023: “The final rule is designed to benefit investors and reduce the credit, market, and liquidity risks in securities transactions faced by market participants.”[1] The Rule will also affect: institutional firms; straight through processing for clearing agencies that provide central matching services; and RIAs.
