  1. Invest in Fractional Shares

Don’t miss out on the chance to invest in top-performing companies just because their share prices are out of reach. With fractional shares, you can buy a part of a share, making investment accessible to all.

Although not all brokers offer this option yet, it is a growing trend that is sure to become standard practice in the near future. So take advantage of the opportunity to own a piece of high-priced stocks like Berkshire Hathaway Inc, Lindt & Sprungli AG, or NVR Incorporated.

By investing in fractional shares, you not only diversify your portfolio but also make smart use of your money, allowing you to spread your investment across multiple securities.

  1. Benefit from Stock Splits

Companies like Tesla, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), and Apple are using stock splits to make their shares more accessible to a wider range of investors. When a company conducts a stock split, it increases the number of shares, effectively lowering the value of each individual share.

Stock splits attract new investors and improve liquidity, ensuring that share prices don’t become prohibitively high. And for existing shareholders, a stock split has a neutral effect, preserving their ownership stake in the company.

Take Apple, for example, which has executed multiple stock splits over the years to keep its share prices within reach of more investors. With each split, the number of shares multiplied, making it easier for people to invest in such a well-known and successful company.

As the famous historian Niall Ferguson once said, imagine how many times the East India Company’s shares would have multiplied if it were still around today.
