ShareBuilder is Simple.
Creating a ShareBuilder Plan is easy. Choose which stocks you'd like to invest in, how much you'd like to invest on a weekly or monthly basis, then simply select how you'd like to fund your account. That's it!

ShareBuilder is Flexible.
Allocate a fixed dollar amount to invest each month in a ShareBuilder Plan, or make a one-time purchase when it fits your budget. You can change securities or investment amounts any time.

The philosophy behind ShareBuilder is dollar-based investing.

Each week or month (you decide), ShareBuilder automatically buys the stocks you designate in the dollar amount you specify. What could be simpler?

What makes ShareBuilder different is that we focus on helping you invest regularly through recurring investments. With ShareBuilder you can buy partial shares of stocks and steadily accumulate positions over time.

Each week ShareBuilder collects the orders our investors have made through their ShareBuilder Plan and purchases the shares in a lump sum. Since you choose the dollar amount to invest, rather than the number of shares to buy, you will usually be purchasing partial shares. For example, if you invest $100 in a stock that ShareBuilder acquires for you at $75, you will own 1.33 shares of that stock.

We buy these stocks at the current market prices available at that time. After each transaction, we'll notify you and let you know the number of shares you've purchased. Once you've set up your personal investing plan, ShareBuilder does the work for you by applying the necessary discipline for a smart long-term investing strategy.
