CMC Markets Launches Fractional Investing on CMC Invest Platform | LeapRate
CMC Markets, a FTSE 250 company and global multi-asset financial services firm, has expanded its CMC Invest platform by launching fractional investing.
The company revealed that fractional investing is now available across CMC Invest’s Stocks & Shares ISA, Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) and General Investment Account (GIA). The launch enables clients to buy and sell fractional shares and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), allowing them to invest from as little as £1.
The brokerage explained that by investing based on value rather than needing to purchase whole shares, clients can build more diversified portfolios tailored to an investment amount that suits them, all while continuing to benefit from commission-free investing.
The move is said to reflect CMC Markets’ ongoing investment in its wealth proposition, aiming to broaden access to investing through a simpler and more flexible experience that gives retail investors greater choice and control over how they manage their money.
Lachlan Rourke-Davies, Senior Product Manager at CMC Markets, commented on the launch, saying that investing should be defined by an investor’s goals rather than the price of a single share. He added that fractional investing gives clients greater flexibility to build diversified portfolios in a way that works for them, helping them invest with more confidence, while reinforcing the company’s continued focus on making investing more accessible to everyone.
The launch of fractional shares comes as part of a broader push by CMC Markets to strengthen its position in the wealth management space, as the company continues to roll out features designed to lower barriers to entry for everyday investors across the UK.
