The problem with whole shares
Some of the world's best companies have share prices that put them out of reach for most people. One share of Amazon costs around 200 USD. One share of Alphabet (Google's parent company) costs over 150 USD. Historically, you needed to buy whole shares — meaning you'd need hundreds of dollars just to get started.
This locked millions of people out of the most valuable companies on the planet. Fractional shares change that.
How fractional shares work
A fractional share is a portion of a full share. Instead of buying 1 share of Amazon at 200 USD, you can buy 0.05 shares for 10 USD — and you own exactly 0.05% of one share of Amazon.
You earn gains and receive dividends proportionally. If Amazon's stock rises 10%, your fractional share also rises 10%. If Amazon pays a dividend, you receive your proportional amount.
Starting from 5,000 XAF
With Amarah, you can buy a fractional share of any available stock for as little as 5,000 XAF (approximately 8 USD). This means you can own a piece of Apple, Tesla, or Amazon today — not someday when you've saved enough for a full share.
You can add to your position whenever you want, in any amount. Over time, these small additions compound into a real portfolio.
Do you get real ownership rights?
Yes. A fractional share represents genuine economic ownership of the underlying company. You benefit from price appreciation and dividends in proportion to your fraction.
Note: fractional shares at Amarah are held in your brokerage account and are not directly transferable to other brokers as fractional units — this is standard practice across all fractional share platforms.
