Fractional orders, how does it work?
14/05/2025
Avenue makes it possible to acquire fractions of a unitary share. For example: if a share is quoted at US$ 1,000.00 you can request a purchase of US$ 300.00 for that share. In this example, your purchase will be 0.30 shares.
IMPORTANT to point out that fractional purchases can only be executed with the ” market” order type.
It is important to understand that fractional stock trading has additional risks and limitations that you must understand before executing.
Cost: the execution of a fractional order (less than 1 action) will have the same cost of executing an entire order. The brokerage commission will follow our current table, see “Costs and Taxes”.
Rounding: You can buy and hold up to eight decimal places in your account. This can affect the purchase of a dollar-order order. For example, if you request an amount of $ 100 on a security, your transaction may not total exactly $ 100 due to rounding (it may be a penny less, but it will never be more than the order amount, before commission is charged).
Rounding may also affect your ability to be credited for cash dividends, stock dividends and splits. For example, if you own 0.0001 of a share that pays a dividend of one cent per share, we will not credit your cash balance against a fraction of a cent.
Limit orders will not be accepted for the purchase of fractional shares, Avenue will only accept market or stop orders for fractional shares. Orders placed outside normal trading hours cannot be executed under these conditions.
Transfer of Fractional Shares: fractional shares are not transferable. If you close your account or transfer your account to another company, the fractional installment will need to be settled, resulting in possible commission charges. Fractional shares cannot be placed in the form of a certificate and sent by mail. They will need to be sold. The commission charged for the settlement may equal the fractional part, if the fraction is less than our minimum commission.
