Portfolio management refers to the professional management of an individual’s or institution’s investment portfolio.
This involves making investment decisions on which assets to incorporate, the allocation of resources across various asset classes, and the timing of buying or selling these assets. The primary objective of portfolio management is to fine-tune the balance between risk and return, aligning with the investor’s goals and risk tolerance for optimal performance.
