European fractional shares do not have a minimum investment requirement, and US fractional shares can be purchased for as little as $1.00, irrespective of the stock price. Fractional shares enable investors to maximize returns by putting small cash balances to work quickly rather than holding cash and potentially earning lower returns.

As soon as the cash amount does not line up with a whole number of shares, fractional shares will be bought or sold automatically.
