Trade settlement tests when ownership and money actually change hands. Regular-way settlement for most securities is one business day after the trade date (T+1); U.S. Treasury and option trades settle the next business day as well. The exam pairs settlement with the ex-dividend date.

Regular-way settlement for U.S. government (Treasury) securities is T+1, the next business day after the trade date, consistent with the broader T+1 standard adopted in 2024.
Settlement cycles are currentness-sensitive. The move to T+1 means older T+2 assumptions can make otherwise familiar questions wrong.
Settlement timing is rule-dependent and can change. Currentness verification helps ensure materials reflect the current payment and delivery cycle.
