Longbridge now supports US fractional shares trading - own US stocks for just USD 1*

SINGAPORE, May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Longbridge Securities Singapore ("Longbridge Singapore") announced the launch of US fractional shares trading service. Investors can now build positions in US stocks like Apple and Tesla with investments as low as USD 1, significantly lowering the barrier to entry while enabling more flexible portfolio strategies. 

Fractional shares trading: making investing accessible

Traditional stock markets have long imposed whole-share trading requirements, where purchasing a single share of high-priced stocks often requires hundreds or even thousands of dollars, raising the entry threshold for investors with limited capital. US fractional shares trading breaks through these limitations by allowing investors to buy stocks by dollar amount or fractional shares. For long-term investors, fractional trading provides more flexible asset allocation strategies, enabling them to adjust their portfolios without being constrained by stock prices or whole-share trading rules.

Furthermore, fractional shares trading helps investors better manage market fluctuations. Investors can build positions gradually based on their risk tolerance and market conditions, making smarter use of their capital. As investing becomes increasingly accessible worldwide, fractional shares provide beginners with an easy entry point into the US market, while allowing experienced investors to fine-tune their strategies with greater precision - further enhancing capital flexibility. 

Invest in US stocks for as low as USD 1 with Longbridge

Longbridge's US fractional shares trading service, offered by Longbridge Singapore, covers a wide range of popular US stocks. Investors can easily explore eligible stocks through the "Classification" section under the "Market" tab in the Longbridge App, or identify supported stocks by looking for the "fractional shares" icon on the stock detail page. 

The Longbridge App offers two flexible order placement options: investors can either specify the fractional share quantity or input the dollar amount they wish to invest. The system automatically calculates the corresponding number of shares based on the current market price, making it easy to align investments with individual budgets. To further enhance value, all US fractional share trades on Longbridge are commission-free, helping investors reduce costs and maximize potential returns. For seamless execution, fractional share trading is available exclusively during regular US market hours.

A Longbridge spokesperson stated, "We believe fractional shares trading lowers the entry barrier to the US stock market and enables more precise asset allocation. Whether you're a first-time investor or a seasoned trader with diversified needs, fractional trading offers a flexible and efficient way to tailor your portfolio to your financial goals." In addition, Longbridge offers lifetime $0 commission for Hong Kong and US stocks, further reducing trading costs and supporting long-term wealth growth for investors.

Risk Disclosure

Long Bridge Securities Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("Longbridge Singapore") endeavours to obtain the best available terms for your orders in accordance with its Best Execution Policy. However, due to market conditions and the nature of fractional share trading, execution speed and price may differ from whole-lot trades, and Longbridge Singapore does not guarantee execution at the best available market price. Generally, stocks with higher liquidity are more likely to be successfully traded in fractional shares.

Fractional share orders currently support only limit and market orders. Other order types such as conditional orders and grid orders are not supported. Trading in U.S. fractional shares is available only during regular U.S. market hours, from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM (ET), and on half-trading days, from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM (ET).

Short selling is not permitted for fractional shares. Financing features, including buying power and margin interest rates, are the same as those applicable to whole-lot trades. Modifications to submitted fractional share orders are not supported; you must cancel and re-submit a new order if you wish to make changes.

Mandatory corporate actions such as cash dividends and stock splits are supported for fractional shares. However, voluntary corporate actions, including rights issues, takeovers, or cash offers, are not supported. In the event of stock splits or reverse splits, you may receive fractional shares as part of the adjustment process. Please note that fractional shares may not carry the same shareholder rights as whole shares (e.g., voting rights).

You should be aware of the limitations and risks associated with fractional share trading, and assess whether such trades are suitable for your individual investment objectives. If in doubt, you are encouraged to seek advice from an independent financial adviser.
