Settlement reports

The settlement advice is a report that represents the net trading position at the end of the day and contains all transactions for which settlement must take place. As a general rule, Upvest will provide the settlement advice for each trading day. This also applies to the settlement advice of corporate action processing.

If the fee functionality of the Investment API is used, we will create a fee settlement report describing any fee collections that were conducted and transferred to the registered bank account.

The settlement advice is issued as of T+1 for net buy, T+2 for net sell days.
Sell order settlements delay for a net sell day, and will settled once Upvest has received cash for all orders.
Note that different settlement advice types are not netted (i.e., trading vs. corporate actions).

To be able to retrieve the reports for settlement via the Investment API, we provide the /files endpoint.

Go to the 'Retrieving settlement reports' chapter to find a detailed description of how to fetch reports.
