Portfolio investment

Portfolio investments are investments in the form of a group (portfolio) of assets, including transactions in equity, securities, such as common stock, and debt securities, such as banknotes, bonds, and debentures.

[1] Portfolio investment covers a range of securities, such as stocks and bonds, as well as other types of investment vehicles.

A diversified portfolio helps spread the risk of possible loss because of below-expectations performance of one or a few of them.
