Investopedia explains 'Fractional Ownership'

Fractional ownership is a common investment structure for expensive assets such as aircraft, sports cars and vacation properties. The fundamental difference between fractional ownership and timeshare is that, with fractional ownership, the investor owns part of the title, rather than units of time; with fractional ownership, if the asset increases in value, so does the value of the shares in the investment.
