I have been trying to sell fractional shares in my portfolio so that I can reinvest into whole shares (not the same shares) to comply with the ISA rules from April. However, all the sell options do not allow me to enter shares less than 1.
So how are we meant to do this?
When I sold my fractional shares, I just clicked on ‘Sell all’ and the field was populated.
If I had say 1.24584, I still clicked on ‘Sell all’ and then deleted the “1”, so I was selling just the fractional 0.24584 bit and that worked.
But that was a couple of weeks ago, before the update so I don’t know if that still works.
‘Sell all’
yes this is how I used to do it
but it no longer works it just puts 0 and says you cannot sell 0 shares.
if I enter 0.66… it just reverts to 0.
Looks like the update prevents the old way of selling. Probably best to contact in-app Help to ask them to sort out.
If you click sell and then enter a “.” (Bottom left on the number pad) you’ll be able to enter the fractional amount to sell. The updates haven’t shipped quite yet and this wouldn’t be restricted. Let me know if that’s not working.
iOS or Android? I sold fractions on Android yesterday without an issue.
