If you are just getting started investing, it's much easier to invest in stocks and ETFs when you can buy fractional shares, instead of having to buy full shares.
I have been frustrated trying to where I can buy fractional shares of stocks and ETFs and also set up recurring investments so I can make small investment amounts (~$5 per ETF/stock) on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.
I want to be able to set it and forget it, grow my investment portfolio day in and day out while I'm focused on the rest of my life.

I've been investing with M1 for several years, the broker was created to invest in a portfolio of factional shares on a recurring basis. It's easy to create a portfolio (pie) of several stocks and/or ETFs, you choose the percent of your portfolio you'd like to have in each asset. You set up a recurring deposit and M1 will invest in fractional shares to bring your portfolio as close to your ideal portfolio balance with each deposit.
