A portfolio shows how your money is allocated across different assets. Instead of betting on a single outcome, you spread exposure across multiple positions.
The goal is balance. Some assets aim for growth, others for stability. How these pieces interact matters more than any single pick.
Portfolios determine overall risk and return behavior. A well-structured portfolio can reduce volatility and protect against single-stock blow-ups.
They also reflect strategy and time horizon. Long-term portfolios are built differently than short-term ones, even if they hold similar assets.
Portfolios are typically evaluated by:
- Asset allocation across sectors and asset types
- Concentration versus diversification
- Correlation between holdings
- Overall volatility and drawdown behavior
Structure matters more than the number of positions.
A common mistake is overconcentration. Too much exposure to one idea increases downside risk.
Another error is ignoring correlation. Holding many assets that move the same way doesn’t reduce risk, even if the portfolio looks diversified.
