Saxo Bank launches fractional trading for Singapore clients

Saxo Bank, a leading global provider of online trading and investment solutions, has announced the launch of fractional share trading for its clients in Singapore. This new feature allows investors to purchase fractions of shares, rather than whole units, giving them access to high-priced stocks and enabling more precise portfolio management.
With this launch, Saxo clients in Singapore can now trade fractional units in more than 1,000 instruments across various asset classes, according to the company’s website. The fractional trading feature is fully integrated across all Saxo platforms, including desktop, web, and mobile versions, ensuring uninterrupted access regardless of the interface used.
Benefits and goals of the new feature
Fractional shares represent a portion of a full share, allowing investors to buy only a part of a stock without needing to cover the full price of one share. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who previously couldn’t afford to invest in expensive equities, including major global tech firms or large financial institutions.
Saxo Bank emphasizes that the initiative is designed to give clients greater flexibility and control over their investments. The ability to invest precise amounts makes capital usage more efficient and simplifies the process of building diversified portfolios tailored to different goals and budget sizes.
How fractional trading works and Saxo Bank’s strategy
To determine whether a specific instrument supports fractional trading, users can check the "Minimum trade size" in the instrument’s trading conditions. This helps traders understand the smallest allowable trade size and structure accurate investment strategies.
Placing a fractional trade is simple: select the desired instrument, verify that it supports fractional trading, open a trade ticket, and enter the amount you wish to invest. The system will automatically calculate the corresponding fraction of the share. The order can then be submitted by clicking “Place order.”
This functionality reflects Saxo Bank’s commitment to democratizing investing, offering tools suitable for both beginners and experienced investors. By lowering barriers to entry and enhancing portfolio flexibility, Saxo Bank continues to lead in delivering innovative, client-centric solutions for Asia’s expanding retail investment market.
Notably, Saxo Markets, the Singapore branch of Saxo Bank, earlier announced plans to launch an exclusive webinar series aimed at improving investor knowledge in options trading.
