I think the problem with this would be brokerage fees for buying/selling. If a fund is rebalancing 10% of their holdings the fees are a rounding error, if I'm rebalancing 10% of mine as an individual the fees would be a noticeable percentage.

There are no brokerage fees anymore.

But fractional share ownership is not widely popular and would require an aggregator anyway.

Are you aware of a firm that offers free trading in fractional shares?
Robinhood announced that and you can request early access to it in the app right now. And yes, it is commission free too.
M1 Finance, Interactive Brokers
So for a lot of shares that people can only afford fractional ownership of some kind of fund would still have to own them?
