GTN has introduced fractional share trading for stocks listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), and Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE).
The addition extends the company’s global fractional trading capabilities beyond the US, UK, and European markets, offering access to high-value Asian stocks without requiring investors to purchase full shares.
“Expanding fractional shares to markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan”
Julien Le Noble, CEO of GTN Asia, commented, “GTN is continuously evolving its offerings to ensure our clients remain at the forefront of innovation. This feature, an expansion of our global fractional engine, is designed with our clients in mind, democratising access to the global markets for their end-users. We aim to help our clients stay ahead of the curve by predicting and meeting the needs of their end-users. Expanding fractional shares to markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan marks a significant step in realising our vision to make trading and investing accessible to all. GTN remains committed to adding additional markets and asset classes to its fractional engine based on client requirements.”
The company said fractional trading will be available through its co-branded global platform GTN Trade, as well as GTN Embed, its single API framework that allows integration by brokers, banks, asset managers, and fintech firms. The new offering enables these institutions to provide more flexible and cost-efficient access to Asian equities, strengthening their client proposition and competitiveness.
GTN said the launch is part of a broader push to enhance investor access to global financial markets. Its platform already supports fractional investments in fixed income instruments and spot commodities such as gold.
The company operates in 14 countries and employs over 500 professionals. Its infrastructure is licensed across multiple jurisdictions through its subsidiaries. GTN is backed by the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, and SBI Group, a major Japanese financial services firm.
GTN’s focus on expanding its fractional trading engine aligns with a growing trend among financial institutions to lower entry thresholds for investors seeking diversified portfolios, particularly in regions where high share prices have previously limited retail access to leading stocks.
Webull Singapore Tapped GTN for Fixed Income in APAC
GTN recently partnered with Webull Singapore to expand access to fixed income investing across the Asia-Pacific region. The collaboration enables Webull users to invest in fractional U.S. Treasuries and other fixed income assets through GTN’s technology framework.
The integration brings fixed income instruments directly into the Webull mobile platform via GTN’s single API for trading, market data, and account services. The solution simplifies access to traditionally complex markets and allows users to build diversified portfolios with smaller capital outlays.
The new offering includes access to selected fractional U.S. Treasury securities and a broader suite of non-fractional fixed income products. GTN and Webull said the move addresses growing investor demand for safer, yield-generating assets amid ongoing market uncertainty.
GTN operates in 14 countries and offers multi-asset access through regulated subsidiaries. Backed by IFC and Japan’s SBI Group, GTN provides infrastructure to brokers, fintechs, and financial institutions worldwide.
