Observed settlement ratios from the leading FMI

The case for settlement fails data

Settlement failure impacts a range of activities within financial institutions.

  • Deal economics – can be materially damaged by buy-ins, penalties and the operational workload attached to fails, a situation that can be aggravated with the arrival of CSDR
  • Trade execution – a higher risk of settlement fail may lead to negotiating a price premium
  • Investment strategy – identifying higher fail risk may encourage avoiding shorts on a given instrument or looking for substitutes
  • Back-office – settlement activity data can be used to benchmark fail levels vs. the ‘market’, and to have supporting data to evidence back-office costs towards the front-office

From liquidity, transaction cost to risk, insight into settlement fails is a new instrument in your toolkit to aid in all these areas.

Is SettlementDrive the right solution for my data needs?

Here are a few questions to consider:

  • If I need to trade, am I exposed to potential buy-in risk or penalties?
  • Will a trade in a specific security potentially impose higher trade costs if the trade settlement fails?
  • How can I further refine my assessment of asset liquidity?
  • Do I have sufficient insight into settlement ratios to satisfy my internal compliance regime?
