You've got questions, we've got answers

To begin investing in partial shares look for a stock or ETF that has a partial shares symbol on the Buy & Sell page. You can enter buy orders using a dollar amount or share quantity. The minimum amount is $1 or 0.00001 shares, whichever is greater. In WebBroker, you can see the list of eligible securities in the main menu under Trading > Buy / Sell > Fractional Stocks & ETFs.

When placing partial share orders on WebBroker, the TD mobile app, or Advanced Dashboard, the following commissions will apply:

Standard Trader – less than 150 trades per quarter:

  • $1.99 for trades of less than one full share (e.g., 0.5 shares)

  • $1.99 for trades of less than one full share (e.g., 0.5 shares)
