| How To Buy Fractional Shares In Groww |
But what exactly are fractional shares?
Imagine a company's share price is ₹10,000. Normally, you'd need the whole ₹10,000 to buy one share. But with fractional shares, you can invest any amount you like! Let's say you only have ₹500. Groww will use that ₹500 to buy you a portion (a fraction) of a share. So, you might end up owning 0.05 of a share, which is still a tiny piece of the company, but hey, it's a start!
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
