XTB’s Fractional Shares Expand Access to UK Investors

XTB, a fintech company which is known for its online investing platform and mobile app, is bringing its Fractional Shares offering to the UK. Additionally, it is opening up stock market opportunities for a broader audience.

In
recent years, a notable influx of new retail investors has entered global
financial markets, seeking additional income sources amidst economic
uncertainty, particularly at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Joshua Raymond, the Head of XTB UK,
said: “This phenomenon can be explained by three key factors – globalisation,
the development of digital technologies and the desire to protect capital from
adverse economic conditions, such as the pandemic and rising inflation. XTB’s
client data reflects similar trends, where the proportion of clients investing
in real stocks and ETFs across all markets has exceeded 61 per cent.”

Until now, retail investors often
encountered obstacles related to the capital required for constructing
diversified investment portfolios. The steep prices of traditionally appealing
stocks like Mastercard,
Microsoft, Meta Platforms, or Apple presented barriers to entry.

Positive Reception in European
Markets Strengthens XTB’s Presence

XTB’s
introduction of Fractional Shares has changed the landscape, offering more than
3000 shares from 16 major global exchanges and 300 global ETFs that are now
accessible to UK investors.

Investors
can enter the market with a minimum transaction value of €10, allowing them to
purchase Fractional Shares, which grant ownership rights to a portion of
individual shares or ETFs listed on regulated markets. These Fractional Shares
eliminate the need to buy an entire share at once, and investors receive a
proportional share of economic benefits, including dividends.

Moreover,
XTB provides 0% commission for
investing in Fractional Shares, making capital markets more accessible than
ever for UK investors. Joshua Raymond emphasized the positive reception of Fractional Shares in other European markets and believes it enhances XTB’s
competitive edge in the UK where the company has become a hub for various investors.

XTB’s
Fractional Shares feature has already been well-received in other key European
markets, such as Poland, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and
Romania.
