Fractional Orders: Democratizing Access to High-Value Securities

The Fractional Orders module of Koala.Markets revolutionizes the way securities are traded by enabling investors to purchase fractional shares of high-value assets. This module is designed to democratize market access, allowing retail investors to participate in asset classes previously out of reach while optimizing portfolio allocation for institutions and wealth managers.

Unlocking Access to Premium Assets

Fractional Orders make it possible for investors to acquire a portion of a share instead of needing to purchase a full unit. This capability is particularly valuable for high-value securities, such as stocks with elevated market prices or premium ETFs. By lowering the entry barrier, this module facilitates broader market participation and enhances the ability to diversify portfolios.

Key Benefits:

  • Democratization of Trading: Allows retail investors to invest in high-priced securities without the need for full share purchases
  • Precision in Portfolio Allocation: Enables granular control over portfolio composition, aligning closely with investment strategies.
  • Increased Liquidity: Aggregates fractional trades into full shares, contributing to market liquidity without impacting individual execution.

Automated Fractional Trade Execution

The Fractional Orders module works seamlessly with Koala.Markets Order Management and Block Orders modules to ensure smooth execution of fractional trades. Orders are automatically aggregated, executed, and redistributed to investors with full transparency.

How It Works?

  • Investor Input: Clients place orders to purchase a specific monetary value or fractional quantity of a security
  • Order Aggregation: Fractional requests from multiple investors are pooled together into a single, full-share trade.
  • Execution:The aggregated order is executed on the desired trading venue.
  • Redistribution:The resulting shares are divided among the investors based on their initial fractional requests.

Compliance and Risk Management

Koala.Markets ensures that all fractional trades meet the highest regulatory and compliance standards. From fractional order placement to settlement, all transactions are monitored to mitigate risks and meet global financial regulations.

Key Features:

  • Real-Time Compliance Checks: Ensures fractional trades adhere to MiFID II, AML, and other financial regulations.
