fail to deliver


Definition
A seller's failure to deliver securities to a buyer in the contracted amount of time. Payment is contingent on the delivery of the securities to the buyer, so a seller runs the risk of losing revenue if he or she does not deliver the securities in the designated time frame. A fail to deliver can lead a broker dealer to experience a fail position.
