Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
除了手動到經紀所平台購買股票或者部分股票，您還可以通過購買持有股票的ETF，或者在401(k)中分配資金進入一項該類基金或其他工具的策略來獲得股票的份額。例如，Coinbase屬於金融部門。ETF通常持有許多能跟蹤該部門的流動性和大型公司的股票，使投資者能夠獲得該股票板塊內的趨勢。
