Portfolio

Portfolio – A portfolio may contain a combination of investments, including bank accounts, bonds, stocks, deeds and businesses. Any investment instrument that is likely to retain its value and/or produce a return can be included in an investment portfolio. Types of instruments vary based on individual circumstances and investment goals. Portfolios are constructed based on an investor’s budget and short- and long-term goals. Different types of investment instruments offer different rates of return and carry their own unique degree of risk.
