id=\"What_is_Fractional_Share_Trading\"><\/span>What is Fractional Share Trading?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, fractional shares allow investors to own a portion of a whole share of a stock. (imagine getting a slice of pizza, instead of the whole piece)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As an example, 1 full unit of Apple share may cost $170. With fractional trading on Rakuten Trade, you can buy Apple shares for as small as 0.01 unit for just $1.70 (0.01 units * $170).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When you invest in fractional shares, you receive the same benefits as the other investors with full shares. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, you\u2019ll make gains when the stock price rises, as well as dividends should the stock you own pay them.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a
