What is Trade Review & Settlement?
The Trade Review & Settlement process involves coordination between front office trading staff (investment analysts, associates), trade operations and support team members (middle/back office) and any third party financial institutions to perform reviews of recently executed trades to ensure that any failures are addressed in a timely fashion. If a trade discrepancy is detected, the trading party and the counterparty discuss methods for resolving the failure and work with trade operations and support staff members to resolve the issue. After the issue is resolved, the trade is settled and data is updated and re-entered where needed.
