Settlement (finance) - Nature of Settlement

Nature of Settlement

Settlement involves the delivery of securities from one party to another. Delivery usually takes place against payment, but some deliveries are made without a corresponding payment (sometimes referred to as a free delivery). Examples of a delivery without payment are the delivery of securities collateral against a loan of securities, and a delivery made pursuant to a margin call.

Famous quotes containing the words nature of and/or settlement:

    “No one lives in this room
    without confronting the whiteness of the wall
    behind the poems, planks of books,
    photographs of dead heroines.
    Without contemplating last and late
    the true nature of poetry. The drive
    to connect. The dream of a common language.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “A Settlement is above all a place for enthusiasms, a spot to which those who have a passion for the equalization of human joys and opportunities are early attracted.”
    —Jane Addams (1860–1935)
