Portfolio
The stock portfolio is the representation of all the securities in which an economic agent has invested in the financial market.
A stock portfolio includes securities, such as stocks and bonds, but also investment funds (SICAVs and mutual funds), more sophisticated products like derivatives, etc.
The composition and management of a stock portfolio require taking into account factors such as the growth objectives of an economy, a sector, and companies, as well as the investor's risk tolerance thresholds.
