Fragmentation in a market can be caused by several market needs, reduced levels of innovation, and economies of scale. Market fragmentation enables businesses to reach the right consumers. Remember, however, that it reduces the effectiveness of mass marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, market fragmentation means that the liquidity of an asset represents a fraction of the total cash for the item. Trading the same commodity in several places enhances price and liquidity variation because the traders involved are not at the same place. The challenges caused by fragmentation can be managed using electronic algorithmic trading techniques such as liquidity aggregation and smart order routing.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2>Question 1<\/h2>\n<p>Which of the following <em>best<\/em> describes market fragmentation?<\/p>\n<ol type=\"A\">\n<li>It is a method of estimating transaction costs by comparing the average fill prices to average market prices during a period surrounding the trade.<\/li>\n<li>It involves measuring the total cost of implementing an investment decision by capturing all explicit and implicit trading costs.<\/li>\n<li>It is the splitting of trading in any given instrument across multiple venues as the number of venues trading the same instruments has proliferated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Solution<\/h4>\n<p>The correct answer is <strong>C.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A is incorrect<\/strong>.
