What are fractional stocks*?

Fractional stocks allow you to own a part of a stock instead of having to buy a whole share. Think of it as buying a slice of cake, rather than the whole thing. You’d expect it to be cheaper, wouldn’t you?

This is exactly how fractional stocks trading works. You can buy a much smaller piece of a company, which will cost you a lot less. Major household names like Netflix currently cost almost US$657**, which can be quite a substantial amount for those on a smaller budget or just for those new to trading who might not be comfortable investing such a large amount.

With Scope Markets, you can invest in Netflix for as little as 1/100th of the whole share price, meaning you’ll get your piece for just US$6.57!

Fractional Stocks vs. Whole Shares trading – what's the difference?

Aside from the obvious entry price (your initial investment), there are a few other differences. One of these is that you may pay a slightly higher spread on a fractional stocks than the whole, but at Scope Markets, we charge as little as possible and never subject you to hidden fees.
