Excuse me, I'm curious about something. I've been hearing a lot about the S&P 500 and how it's a good investment option. But I'm a bit tight on my budget and I was wondering, is it possible to buy into the S&P 500 with just $100? I understand that it's a major index and usually requires larger investments, but I was hoping to find a way to get started with a smaller amount. Can you provide any insights or options that might allow me to do this? Thank you for your time.

The minimum investment for the S&P 500 varies depending on the investment vehicle chosen. For an S&P 500 index fund, there is often no minimum investment required, making it accessible to a wide range of investors.

However, if one opts for an S&P 500 ETF, they may need to pay the full price of a single share, which typically exceeds $100. This can be a barrier to entry for some investors with limited capital.

To address this issue, some financial services providers, such as robo-advisors, offer fractional shares of ETFs. This allows investors to purchase a portion of a share, reducing the initial investment required.

For instance, Stash is a robo-advisor that offers fractional shares of S&P 500 ETFs starting from as little as $5. This option enables even those with limited financial resources to gain exposure to the S&P 500 market.
