T2S partial settlement windows
In general, the settlement functionalities offered by T2S are included in Clearstream Banking AG’s service offering. Therefore, clients can participate in the settlement processes regardless of their chosen connectivity channel to T2S (Indirectly Connected Participants (ICP) or Directly Connected Participant (DCP)).
Partial settlement is active in T2S within the dedicated Partial Settlement Windows. These settlement windows are regularly reviewed by T2S and, if agreed with market participants, extended.
The following times are applicable in the T2S production environment:

Information regarding the client simulation
