What are fractional shares?

Emma Invest is only available to UK-based customers.

A share is a unit of a company stock. A fractional share is a smaller piece of one whole share of a company stock. Purchasing a fractional share means that instead of owning one full share of a company stock, you own a fraction of one 🥧

Purchasing fractional shares allows you to invest in companies, whose shares may otherwise be unobtainable due to high full share prices.

As with any investment, please be aware that your capital is at risk.
