Fractional shares allow you to invest in stocks based on a dollar amount, so you may end up with a fraction of a share, a whole share, or more than one share.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Rakuten Trade, fractional share trading starts from as small as 0.01 (Buy) or 0.0001 (Sell) for US stocks, ADRs and ETFs tradeable* on Rakuten Trade. Brokerage fees range from RM1 to RM100 or USD1.88 to USD25.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This launch marks the second enhancement that Rakuten Trade has made to its US Trading Platform. In August 2022, it announced its foreign currency settlement services enabling investors to choose to trade in either Ringgit Malaysia or in US Dollar.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"block\"><div>For more details on share trading, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/share-trading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">share trading listing page<\/a>s.<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRakuten Trade\u2019s foreign market trading platform serves as a catalyst for new investors to test trading strategies on Bursa Malaysia before diversifying into the US markets,\u201d added Mise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, Rakuten Trade made two massive changes soon after it launched its trading services on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imoney.my\/articles\/rakuten-trade-extends-trading-to-hong-kong-stock-exchange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hong Kong Stock Exchange<\/a>.
