What is fractionalisation?
Fractionalisation gives investors the opportunity to purchase a specific amount of any given stock (as opposed to buying a whole share)
Fractionalisation is a key (and often missing) step in the investor’s evolution from a beginner to an experienced investor. It offers more options at a lower risk & cost
Fractionalisation is a great acquisition and retention tool for companies looking to access new target market (young investors)
