CMC Invest adds fractional shares and ETFs across ISA, SIPP and GIA accounts
CMC Markets has launched fractional investing on its CMC Invest platform, allowing clients to buy and sell fractional shares and ETFs from as little as £1 across its Stocks & Shares ISA, Self-Invested Personal Pension and General Investment Account. The company said the launch supports its strategy of broadening access to investing through a simpler platform.

Fractional investing is now available across three CMC Invest account types named in the announcement: the Stocks & Shares ISA, the Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) and the General Investment Account (GIA). Clients can buy and sell fractional shares and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with a stated minimum investment of £1. CMC Markets said investing by value rather than buying whole shares lets clients build more diversified portfolios at an amount that suits them, while continuing to benefit from commission-free investing. The notice does not identify which shares or ETFs are eligible for fractional dealing, and it does not set out whether other charges apply beyond the commission-free investing the company cites.
How the company frames it
The launch is presented as part of CMC Markets' continued investment in its wealth proposition, described as broadening access to investing through a simpler, more flexible experience intended to give retail investors greater choice and control. Lachlan Rourke-Davies, Senior Product Manager at CMC Markets, said: "Investing should be defined by an investor's goals, not the price of a single share. Fractional investing gives clients greater flexibility to build diversified portfolios in a way that works for them, helping them invest with greater confidence while reflecting our continued focus on making investing more accessible to all." The accessibility, flexibility and confidence benefits in that statement are the company's own characterisation, not independently assessed findings.
