Just wondering how dividends will work with fractional shares (for those shares that pay dividends)?

Fractional dividends?

Correct. When you buy other unitised assets (say, mutual funds/OEICs/unit trusts) your distribution is based on your holding down to the Nth decimal place. Same here. If a dividend is £1 per share and you have 0.5 shares you’ll get 50p. Unlike units trusts we won’t have to get caught up with Group 1 and 2 unit distinction and the dreaded ‘equalisation’ calculation on dividends! Rejoice!

Hell knows what that meant. But if there is “Rejoice” at the end, then this got to be damn good! :joy:
