Fractional Shares

Fractional Shares: Robinhood

Posted on By Sumeet Sinha, MBA

Fractional Shares on Robinhood

Robinhood recently introduced a new feature that allows investors to buy fractional shares. This is important because it allows more and more people to invest in companies whose share prices are very high, Amazon, for example, trades at more than $2400 as of June 2, 2020. If an investor has just $100 to invest every month, without the ability to buy partial shares, they would have to wait for 24 months to buy their first AMZN share in a traditional manner. But, with the partial share feature, investors can invest little amounts into high market price stocks. Keep reading till the end to see how I could finally invest in Berkshire Hathaway Class A stock (BRK.A) trading at $345,000 per share!

Invest in Berkshire Hathaway using the partial stock feature on Robinhood

Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway offers two classes of stocks to investors – Class A stock (BRK.A) and Class B stock (BRK.B).

When I first started investing, I wanted to invested in the Buffet stock – Berkshire Hathaway. Between the two class of stocks (A and B), I could afford only class B shares. Reason – I simply couldn’t afford one share of class A stock. As of November 2020, one class A share trades at $350,000.

How to buy partial shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) on Robinhood?

Step 1: Search for the Berkshire Hathaway stock Class A shares (ticker symbol: BRK.A). Click on the trade button on the bottom right.
