In recent years, a new trend has emerged in the investing world that is increasingly becoming popular with investors of all ages, trading styles, and levels of experience.
This trend is known as fractional investing, and it can be a valuable aspect of a long-term strategy for wealth building and management through the stock market.
Fractional investing is exactly what it sounds like. Rather than buying an entire share of a company, fractional investing allows you to purchase a partial share of that company. This comes in particularly handy when you consider that a single share of some stocks can run you hundreds or even thousands of dollars a pop. For example, you could purchase a half of a share, one-third of a share, or even far less in many cases.
Fractional investing isn’t available through all brokerages, but more and more well-known trading platforms are offering users this option. Not only do fractional shares provide broader buying opportunities for active investors, but this approach is ideal for newer investors who want to start building a portfolio but don’t have a large sum to start investing with.
Here are 15 reasons why fractional shares are your new investing best friend and a fantastic option to incorporate into your long-term investment thesis.
