GTN launched fractional trading engine for equities and fixed income

GTN’s fractional trading engine for equities and fixed income was launched last month.

The trading platform provides retail investors with the ability to invest in high-value stocks and fixed-income assets in fractional amounts, thereby democratizing access to broader investment opportunities.

Fractional trading has been gaining steam as it allows retail investors to diversify their portfolios without the need for large capital outlays. By breaking down high-value stocks into more affordable units, investors can efficiently allocate smaller cash balances across a wider range of assets. GTN’s new offering aims to make the investment landscape more inclusive, offering fractional trading on equities, ETFs, and now, uniquely, fixed income.

The fractional trading engine will be integrated into GTN Trade, the company’s co-branded global trading platform, as well as its versatile API framework. This enables a broad range of financial institutions—including brokers, banks, wealth managers, and fintechs—to offer fractional trading services to their clients, thereby enhancing their value proposition.

GTN, which has been in the industry for decades, holds broker-dealer and capital markets services licenses in multiple jurisdictions through its subsidiaries. Its comprehensive trading ecosystem includes best-in-class execution, custody, and post-trade solutions. for all.
