Why Fractional Shares Are Ideal for First-Time Investors

If you're thinking about starting to invest for the first time, taking that first step can seem daunting. After all, investing carries risk and you'll be putting your money into the market during a volatile time.

There's some good news, though. There's never a bad time to start investing for the first time. And starting now means you've got a great opportunity most first-time investors before you didn't have: You can invest in fractional shares.

Fractional shares are now offered by several major brokers, and they allow you to buy just a part of a share, while before you were limited to buying full shares only.
