Settlement in a stock exchange refers to the process of transferring securities and funds between buyers and sellers after a trade is executed. Typically, this process occurs within a specific time frame, often T+2, meaning two business days after the trade date. During settlement, the seller delivers the securities to the buyer, and the buyer pays the agreed amount, usually facilitated by a clearinghouse to ensure the transaction's integrity and efficiency. Proper settlement is crucial to maintaining market stability and trust among participants.

Yes, but trade date must be PRIOR to ex-div date (even immediately prior is ok). If trade date is just before ex-div date (e.g. one day before), however settlement date is after (for example, three days after ex-div), you still receive dividends. This is because ownership of shares tranfers on trade date, however it is the transfer of money which occurs on settlement date. This is what allows you to buy shares, then sell the same shares one hour later, even though no money transaction has occured (the money movements will occur on settlement date, usually three days for shares).
