Fundamentals of the Securities Trade Lifecycle training course
This course is designed to give you a complete view of the securities trade lifecycle—not just for your own role, but how each step connects across the process.
You’ll learn how market infrastructure, trade matching, settlement, reconciliation, and regulatory requirements like CSDR and SFTR all fit together. By understanding the bigger picture, you’ll be able to identify potential risks earlier, reduce the chance of settlement delays or errors, and contribute to a more efficient and control-focused operations environment.
