T+1 effective Monday Remember, starting this Monday, T+3 is changing to T+1. Hopefully one day we'll be heading to T+0. There is no need for such a delay in today's technology rich world. Maybe even move the entire system on a decentralized blockchain with instant, trustless, verifiable settlement.
Anyway. We can only hope. In the meantime, this change means the Ex-Dividend day and the Record Day has become one and the same.
