One of the better developments in the investing world over the past several years has been the introduction of fractional shares. Instead of needing the full price of a stock to purchase a share, fractional shares allow investors to buy a portion, often for as little as $1.
Popularized by Robinhood Markets, fractional shares have removed a barrier to entry in investing. This was especially important for investors who wanted access to great companies trading well into the thousands, like Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A).
Trading at well over half a million dollars per share, purchasing a whole share of Berkshire Hathaway isn't feasible for most people. Luckily, that doesn't have to be the case. If you have $100 available to invest, look no further than the conglomerate of all conglomerates.
