[SINGAPORE] Fractional investing is growing in Singapore, as the concept becomes more widely known and methods of doing so proliferate. As competition grows, platforms aim to set themselves apart with different offerings and options for investors.

Fractional investing allows investors to buy a fraction of a share or unit, rather than an entire one, at the current market price.

While there are no estimates of overall fractional investing activity in Singapore, existing players report growth in such investments, while new products continue to be launched.
