Fractional Shares

Owning a slice of a single share, so you can invest any dollar amount.

Fractional shares let you buy part of one share — helpful when a single share costs hundreds of dollars. It means a kid can own a piece of an expensive, familiar company with $5 instead of needing the full price, which makes small, regular investing possible.
