CHANGES TO TIME PERIODS FOR REGULAR-WAY SETTLEMENT AND REGULATION T COMING ON MAY 28, 2024

Taking the Series 66 in the near future? If so, then you should know that the SEC has changed the rules governing Regular-Way Settlement from two business days to only one business day. Regular-Way Settlement will be T+1, not T+2. The effective date of this rule change is one week from tomorrow, or May 28, 2024.

Furthermore, the rules of the Fed for payment in both cash and margin accounts now becomes three business days following trade date, or T+3. The former Fed rule was T+4.

Make sure that you know these new rules.
