Investment portfolio Meaning

A collection of various financial assets-such as stocks, bonds, commodities, and digital assets-held by an individual or an institution. The goal of a portfolio is to achieve a specific financial return while managing risk through a process called "diversification." In modern portfolio theory, the "mix" of assets is more important than any single investment.

By holding assets that move in different directions (low correlation), an investor can reduce the "vividness" of their losses during a market crash. For example, an investor might hold 60% stocks, 30% bonds, and 10% digital assets.

Managing a portfolio in the 24/7 world of digital finance requires constant monitoring.

Many investors use "rebalancing" to maintain their desired asset mix; if their crypto grows to 20% of their portfolio, they might sell half of it to buy more bonds, effectively "selling high" and "buying low" to maintain their long-term risk profile.
