Fractional Shares

Fractional Shares allow investors to purchase a portion of a stock or ETF rather than a full share. This makes investing accessible even when the price of a single share is high.

 

For example, if a stock costs €500 per share, an investor can still invest €50 and own a fraction of that share. Many modern brokers now offer fractional investing.

 

Fractional shares make it easier to start investing, build diversified portfolios, and invest regularly with smaller amounts of money.
