The team from Transact recently joined us to record a series of fantastic 5-10 minute audio treats. We hope you enjoy them.

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes when you place a trade on a platform? In this bite-sized Paraplanners’ Assembly Transact’s head of distribution, Glen Sweet, does just that.

In just FIVE minutes, Glen tells host, Richard Allum, all about trading points, settlement periods (including the difference between settlement of equities and funds), reconciliations, execution prices, trading windows…you get the idea. 

When you consider the intro takes about 60 seconds it’s AMAZING how much insight and knowledge Glen packs in to his remaining 4 minutes and 23 seconds.  

So if you’ve ever wanted to lift the lid on the workings of a platform, tune in to this episode for insights galore!
