Hello, thank you for reaching out. BasketTrader supports trading in fractional shares. Please view this FAQ for more information: https://arclightcapital.cc/faq?id=93061146

We offer an automatic trading feature whereby account holders may set up a ‘recurring investment’ instruction with the cash amount, asset to invest into and the schedule when to invest (e.g. buy 500 USD of AAPL on the 2nd day of the month). For an overview of the recurring investment feature, please view: https://arclightcapital.cc/faq?id=1112361625

We hope this helps!

I tried it via client portal, unchecking “Trade in Fractions”. But the next day it is checked again and TWS continues to create rebalance orders with fractions.

Hello, thank you for reaching out. Fractional shares will automatically convert into whole shares if you have enough fractional pieces to add up to a whole number. ARC does not accept fractional shares through a position transfer. https://arclightcapital.cc/faq?id=61921218
However, if it accumulates to a whole share, you should be able to make a position transfer. Please reach back out with any additional questions. We are here to help!

Hello, thank you for reaching out. Please view this FAQ for instructions to request trading permissions for fractional shares: https://arclightcapital.cc/faq?id=23299006

Trading permission requests are forwarded for Compliance Officer review. Please allow time for the completion of the due diligence checks and trading permission review. ARC is trying to review as many trading permission upgrades as possible given the current environment.

Do you know if there’s a time I have to wait before it gets totally enabled ?

If after investing for some time we reach the point that we accumulate enough to own a whole share or ETF, is that share or ETF than tranferable to another broker or can only be liquidated? Thank you in advance!

Yes, this means you will receive the same rights.

Does that mean we will also receive the same rights as whole shares if we have enough fractional shares to be converted to whole shares?

For European UCITS – ETFs, what are the comissions exactly? Thank you. Berk

Thank you for reaching out. In this situation, this would be equivalent to 2 full shares plus an additional .1 of the share. We hope this clarifies things!

Consider following scenario – I’ll buy 0.7, 0.5 and 0.9 of the same share in three different trades. Does it mean that after that I’m beneficiary owner of 2 complete shares + own 0.1 of another share, so my situation would be in effect the same as buying 2 shares in a single trade + 0.1 of the share in another trade? Or in given scenario I’m don’t own any share fully, just 0.7 of one share, 0.5 of another share and 0.9 of the third share? Thanks for explaining!
