Why trade partial shares?

Buying stocks by the dollar not the share price allows you to make every dollar count:

Flexibility to invest the dollar amount you want
Access to higher-priced stocks and TD ETFs
Maximize your investing budget

A fraction of the share for a fraction of the cost

When trading (buying or selling) one or more shares, the commission fee is $9.99.

Any time you trade a partial share (less than one share), you pay a $1.99 commission fee.

With TD Easy Trade^TM, we'll give you your first 50 trades for free, whether partial or full.
