Suppose, as a medical or nursing school student, or new practitioner, you want to invest in a company, but its stock price may be higher than what you want, or can afford, to pay.
Instead of buying a whole share of stock, you can buy a fractional share, which is a “slice” of stock that represents a partial share, for very little money (ie., $5 at Charles Schwab).

Example: If a company’s stock is selling at $1,000 a share and you were buying $200 worth of it, you would own 0.2 (20%) of a share. With stock slices, investing has never been more accessible.
