In an era defined by compressed settlement cycles, rising regulatory scrutiny, and relentless cost pressures, sell-side institutions are being pushed to reimagine how they operate. The transition to T+1 settlement, growing client expectations for transparency and speed, and the challenge of sustaining profitability amid escalating complexity are reshaping every layer of the post-trade ecosystem. To help firms navigate this critical inflection point, NOVA Post Trade is hosting an exclusive panel session in London bringing together leaders from Euroclear, the Davies Group, Canaccord Genuity, The UK Accelerated Settlement Taskforce, and NOVA’s CEO, Gopala Subramanium. This 60-minute dialogue, designed specifically for COOs, Heads of Operations, and Transformation Leaders at sell-side firms, will deliver actionable insights and strategic next steps to strengthen operational resilience, boost efficiency, and position firms to thrive in the new market landscape.

Some of the Key Topics that will be Addressed by the Panel

T+1 Settlement Transition

The UK has committed to a switch to T+1 for securities settlement by 11 October 2027. This shift shortens the window for confirmations, allocations, cash & securities movements, and exception handling.

Register Now

Rising Volume of Exceptions & Manual Processing

With compressed cycles, any break in automation becomes more expensive. Sell-side firms must wrestle with higher volumes of exceptions, fails, and reconciliations.

Register Now

Interoperability & Legacy Systems

Many legacy systems are architected for T+2, batch night-cycle processing, manual checkpoints — which may not scale into a compressed cycle environment.

Register Now

Coordination Among Market Participants

The T+1 transition is not purely internal; it demands alignment across counterparties, custodians, exchanges, CSDs, clearing, and perhaps cross-border jurisdictions.

… and a lot more including recent growing discussions around 24-hour trading, AI, Cybersecurity, Growing Regulatory Demands, and more.
