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.

Whole shares can normally be traded on all account types too, but here we offer fractional stocks trading exclusively on our Invest Account. This account type offers great conditions, including a minimum deposit of just $50.
