The new product allows investors to trade corporate and Treasury bonds starting from $100.
The company aims to democratize access to fixed-income securities for retail investors.
Investing
platform Public.com has launched fractional bond trading, allowing investors to
buy and sell corporate and Treasury bonds in smaller denominations. The company
claims to be the first to introduce real-time fractional trading for stocks and
is now pioneering this approach in the debt securities market.
The new
offering enables users to invest in bonds for as little as $100, significantly
lower than the typical minimum investment requirements in the bond market.
Public.com Introduces
Fractional Bond Trading
Currently,
Public.com offers over 100 fractional bonds on its platform, with plans to
expand the selection in the future. The platform also presents a variety of
tools to help investors navigate the bond market, such as AI-powered bond
search, a screener, and detailed bond information pages that provide key
financial data for corporate bonds.
Public.com
has also introduced a liquidity score from 1 to 5 for all bonds on the platform, with fractional bonds receiving a score of 5, indicating high liquidity
compared to other bonds available.

To further support investors in their bond investing journey, Public.com has developed educational resources, including a center that offers content on bond fundamentals and strategies and a podcast covering macro news that
impacts the bond markets.
Encouraging
investors to allocate capital to fractional bonds, Public.com refers to a
Bloomberg article from March, which suggested that investing in corporate bonds
is the safest it has been in nearly a decade.
Benefits of Fractional
Bonds
The
introduction of fractional bond trading comes amid improving corporate debt ratios and the potential for interest rate cuts later in the year, increasing investor interest in the bond market. By offering the ability to purchase bonds in smaller, whole-dollar amounts, Public.com aims to make fixed-income securities more accessible to a broader range of investors.
Traditionally,
retail investors have faced several challenges when investing in bonds, including the lack of mobile-friendly platforms, high minimum order quantities, limited liquidity, and difficulty accessing relevant data to
make informed investment decisions. Public.com’s fractional bond trading seeks
to address these pain points by providing a user-friendly, mobile-optimized
experience with a focus on discoverability.
Public.com's Challenges in the UK
In 2023,
the zero-commission stock trading platform from the United States sought to
expand its operations into Europe. The startup, valued at $1.2 billion
and based in New York, considered potential European acquisitions despite
unsuccessful negotiations to acquire Dutch competitor Bux. This initiative led
to an announcement in July 2023 that Public.com would launch its services in
the United Kingdom, marking its first venture into an international market.
However, it became apparent that the company could not
sustain its presence in the competitive UK market for long, deciding to exit
just eight months after its launch. The situation was exacerbated by
Robinhood's recent entry into the local market, which further intensified
market competition.
A spokesperson for Public.com confirmed that "with
even more accelerated growth in the US, particularly from recent feature
launches such as a five percent high-yield account, corporate bonds, and
options trading, we decided it's better to focus on our US business for
now."
