13 February 2024
At Autumn Statement 2023, the Government announced its intention to permit certain fractional shares contracts to be eligible ISA investments. This requires a change to the ISA Regulations and ISA manager’s guidance to define those eligible investments for ISA purposes.
Government has considered the Financial Conduct Authority’s initial position towards fractional shares, the position of the small number of firms offering them, and the view of the wider market.
Further information will be available in due course.
