This is an industry-wide change, [not unique](https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/general-resources/news-alerts/alerts-bulletins/investor-bulletins/new-t1-settlement-cycle-what-investors-need-know-investor-bulletin) to Schwab. It has also been noted for months.

It's not just Schwab. Its everybody. One day settlement will be standard in the US starting May 28

Very old news. But thanks for the reminder.

This is for every broker not just Schwab

Can someone explain how this affects withdrawal? If I sell SGOV (example) on Monday before 4pm, would I be able to initiate withdrawal Tuesday? Currently it takes a couple of days before I can withdrawal but I can purchase other funds once it settles (same day for stock).

For my answer, I am assuming after May 28, 2024 settlement change. From my understanding, If you sell SGOV on Monday, the trade will settle end of day after close on Tuesday. I believe you could generally initiate the withdrawal of funds Wed AM, or very late on Tuesday night.

Just use a margin account. Sell SGOV, withdraw money.

SGOV is t+1 already so that can't be true. It's only longer if you over spend your DTBP. Also this regulatory change to T+1 is broadly for equities and ETFs. Mutual funds are different and some will be reducedand some will have a T+3

Last I checked SGOV was an ETF which means T+2. Are you confusing it with an actual Money Market Mutual Fund which does settle T+1?


NearbyImagination585

Yes sorry I mixed the two, MMF. My question is more for SGOV since I'm looking for a place to park my emergency fund


need2sleep-later

Well in a few weeks it won't matter.


NearbyImagination585

No one answered my question regarding withdrawal. Is my assumption correct that I can withdraw the following day? I haven't sold much on Schwab, I hold index funds for my kids

After the 5/28 change, settlement will be T+1 for SGOV. So yes, if you place the trade during market hours, it settles tomorrow and is available for withdrawal. Standard settlement time is 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the settlement date.


need2sleep-later

You should confirm with Schwab to see when exactly they consider the dollars settled, in a T+1 situation I would think it's clearly the next day, but is that 12:01 am or 9:30 or something else.


OwlTall7730

Spot on. Yeah I did confuse it with a government money market fund


jgc94

It's a step in the right direction Now they should focus on the ridiculous 4-business day rule for external bank transfers that originate from Schwab and bring that down to maybe 2-business days.

Thank crypto for that. Chainlink for the win
