As its name implies, the transaction date represents the date on which the actual trade occurs. For instance, if you buy shares of a stock today, then today is the transaction date. This date doesn't change whatsoever, as it will always be the date on which you made the transaction.
However, the settlement date is a little trickier because it represents the time at which ownership is transferred. It's important to understand that this doesn't always occur on the transaction date and varies depending on the type of security. Treasury bills, for example, are one of the few securities that can be transacted and settled on the same day. In the past, security transactions were done manually rather than electronically.
Investors would wait for the delivery of a particular security, which was in actual certificate form, and payment happened upon receiving the certificate. Since delivery times could vary and prices always fluctuate, market regulators set a period of time in which securities and cash must be delivered.
If you buy shares of Microsoft MSFT on Friday, June 2, while your broker would debit your account for the total cost of the investment immediately after your order is filled, your status as a shareholder of Microsoft will not be settled in the company's record books until Tuesday, June 6. Therefore, the settlement date is the date upon which you become a shareholder of record. Note that weekends and public holidays are not included. In this case, if Monday was a public holiday, the settlement date would be Wednesday, June 7.
Knowing the settlement date of a stock is also important for investors or strategic traders who are interested in dividend-paying companies because the settlement date can determine which party receives the dividend. That is, the trade must settle before the record date for the dividend in order for the stock buyer to receive the dividend. Due to unscheduled re-openings, which occur occasionally, a year bond might be set to reinvest into a year bond, or vice versa.
If you don't want the scheduled reinvestment, you can cancel it. See Learn more about Reinvesting Maturing Proceeds. To redeem your Treasury bonds, you don't need to take action. If you do not provide instructions to deposit the security's principal into your C of I, we deposit the principal into your designated bank account. The deposit is made on the day your security matures. We are phasing out Legacy Treasury Direct and no longer allow reinvestments in that system.
