fractionalization
Breaking into parts
Fractionalization is the process of dividing something into separate parts or factions.
In politics, fractionalization describes a society or legislature splitting into competing groups: Ethnic fractionalization has destabilized the region.
In finance, it refers to dividing ownership of assets into smaller shares, making expensive investments accessible to more buyers: Real estate fractionalization lets investors own portions of properties.
