Fractional shares

Hello BrokerChooser,

Do you know when Lightyear broker will introduce the possibility to buy and trade fractional shares of ETFs and non-American stocks? What other platforms have this option?

Thanks for answer,
T

Hi T,

Lightyear currently offers fractional shares for U.S. stocks and have announced plans to expand this feature to include ETFs and more international stocks. However, they haven’t specified a timeline for this expansion.

If you’re interested in platforms that offer fractional shares for ETFs and non-American stocks, here are some options:

  • Interactive Brokers: Offers fractional shares for U.S. and European stocks, but fractional trading for ETFs is limited.
  • eToro: Provides fractional shares for a wide range of stocks, including non-U.S. stocks and ETFs.
  • Trading 212: Allows fractional investments in various global stocks and ETFs.

You can read more about these platforms on our website, let me know if you have further questions!

Best,
Samuel
