How can ShareBuilder offer stock purchases for just $4 or less?

When customers schedule automatic investments, ShareBuilder accumulates the orders by stock, combines them and makes just one buy for each stock on the investment day you select.

This "collective buy" keeps the execution and processing costs to a minimum.

ShareBuilder is committed to executing customer orders at the best price currently available.

Dollar-based investing / buy & sell partial shares of stock

Stocks you may have thought too expensive, are now within reach.

By investing in dollar amounts, you are not limited to whole share quantities, you can buy partial shares. Over time you can build up your position in that stock.

Example: P&G is trading at $98.24. You have $50 to invest. Rather than delaying your investment until you have enough money saved, you can invest the $50 and buy about a half of a share of P&G.

No minimums, no inactivity fees
