Fractional Shares Now Available for Traders on Swissquote


Swissquote has launched fractional shares trading. It will allow traders to purchase portions of popular stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, and Themes Trading products. This new feature lets traders invest based on their available capital.

About New Offerings

Swissquote converts fractional shares into full shares once the cumulative fractions reach one full unit. Clients gain full ownership rights when they reach a complete share, offering the same benefits as owning full stocks. 

In addition to fractional shares, Swissquote introduced a new “Saving Plan” order type. It lets clients automate recurring investments. This plan can be adjusted based on the client’s available funds. This plan allows clients to set up recurring investments. The broker also reduced its trading commissions to CHF 3 per trade for shares. It will make transactions more affordable.

Benefits for Traders

These new offerings will offer these benefits to users:

Increased Accessibility 

Traders and investors with limited capital can now invest in expensive stocks like Apple without needing to buy a full share. They can start investing with smaller amounts and still gain exposure to high-value companies.

More Opportunities 

Investors can spread their capital across multiple stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies without needing large sums. This diversification reduces risk by allowing exposure to varied assets with limited funds.

Lower Financial Barriers

Fractional shares lower the financial barriers. It makes it easier for new or smaller investors to enter the market. Instead of being priced out by high share prices, they can now participate with whatever available capital.

Flexibility 

Traders gain the flexibility to adjust their investments according to their available funds and market conditions. The “Saving Plan” further enables automatic, recurring investments that align with long-term financial goals.

Full Ownership 

Even with fractional shares, investors can eventually accumulate full ownership. Swissquote converts fractional shares into full units. It ensures investors enjoy the benefits of complete ownership rights once a full share is reached.
