1. What are U.S. Fractional Shares
In U.S. stock trading, orders where the trading quantity is not a whole share are known as "U.S. fractional share" orders. For example, if a user account has $20 USD and submits an instruction to buy 0.1 shares of NVIDIA, it is considered a fractional share transaction. Fractional share trading can lower the barrier to entry for investors and allow for more flexible investment allocation. It is a more favorable investment method for stocks that have not split and have high face values.
