A portfolio means a pool of assets that includes securities, bonds, and other investment instruments which helps in risk minimization of the money that has been invested. In other words, it can be said that a portfolio means a combination of assets in which an investor decides to invest their money in order to get a lump sum return in the future or even a series of cash flow that the person is expecting at the end of their job life.
