🚨 Schwab just quietly rolled out fractional share trading to financial advisors — no fanfare, no press tour, just a huge unlock for SMAs. Nick and Ethan break down why this is a bigger deal than it looks.
📉 Markets first: the 10-year Treasury yield is flirting with 5%, the ECB just hiked, and a stronger-than-expected jobs report has the Fed's next move (and Chair Warsh's independence) squarely in focus. The guys debate hikes vs. holds heading into CPI and the September FOMC meeting — and why the political fight over rates may be aimed at the wrong end of the curve.
💡 Then: Schwab's fractional trading rollout, what it means for SMA minimums, precision rebalancing, and the $864B direct indexing wave. Plus: does fractional trading spell the end of stock splits? BofA's data says split stocks return 25% vs. the S&P's 12% — coincidence or momentum? 🤔
👉 Drop a comment: will fractional shares push more advisors from ETFs into SMAs?
