What are Fractional Shares?
A fractional share means owning a part of a stock instead of the whole share.
Example: If one share of Apple costs $200, you can invest $20 and own 0.1 of a share.
You still benefit from price movements and dividends in proportion to the part you own.
Fractional Shares on CUSP
Yes — CUSP supports fractional investing.
You can start with as little as $1.
Your ownership is tracked the same way as with full shares.
Dividends (if paid) are distributed proportionally to your fractional holding.
Please note that fractional investing is available for most, but not all, assets.
Why It Helps Investors
Fractional shares make investing more flexible and accessible:
If you’re new → Start small, reduce risk, and build confidence without committing large sums.
If you’re experienced → Diversify across more companies and ETFs, even high-priced ones, with the same budget.
