I. INTRODUCTION
Portfolio is a collection of financial assets. An individual selects portfolio based on his risk tolerance, duration of investment and his investment objectives. The investors will focus on investing in a portfolio which will give maximum return with minimum risk. Investing in a portfolio can deliver better returns compared to specific asset counterparts and is because of the diversification of risks among various available investment avenues.
To achieve a positive, long-term goal, the investor should select a portfolio based on his objectives and formulate a suitable investment strategy. The future portfolio performance depends on investment policy. The selected portfolio should be well diversified to ensure that losses from one security are compensated by gains from other asset classes in the portfolio.
There are two forms of portfolio management. Passive management which tracks a market index (indexing or index investing) and active management with a single or a team of managers attempting to beat the market by actively managing a fund’s portfolio. The investment decisions are based on research and decisions on individual holdings. Closed-end funds are examples of actively managed funds.
