Digital Brokerage Public Rolls Out Fractional Bond Investing

As an industry first, Public, the digital investing platform, plans to sell fractions of certain Treasurys and corporate bonds to customers at around $100, with hopes to eventually offer fractional bonds for as low as about $10.

Owning bonds outright isn’t common for everyday investors. Investing in bonds usually requires a minimum of about $1,000 or $5,000. Only about 1% of U.S. households owns bonds directly, according to the 2022 Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances. Public’s clearing firm, Apex Fintech Solutions, in October announced a pending launch of a fractional fixed-income investing platform, which Apex said is the first in the industry.
