Fractional Shares Trading Made Easier
Across all platforms, Schwab has also expanded fractional trading capabilities to include most U.S. stocks and ETFs, with a new minimum investment of $1. Now, instead of accessing fractional shares trading via a separate experience, clients can select a dollar amount rather than number of shares right within Schwab’s trade ticket.
“Fractional shares trading lowers barriers to entry and gives clients greater simplicity and flexibility,” Kostulias added. “They can be a powerful tool for a wide range of investors, from those who may be priced out of higher-cost stocks to more seasoned traders who prefer to trade notionally, in dollar amounts rather than whole shares.”
