PortfolioGerman: Portfolio

A portfolio is your collection of investments, such as stocks, funds, bonds and cash reserves.

In plain language

Its composition shapes opportunities and risks. Look beyond individual products to their combined characteristics. Your goal, time horizon and need for accessible cash provide the framework.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

Let’s make it concrete

An illustrative portfolio holds €6,000 in equity funds, €3,000 in bonds and €1,000 in cash. The weights are 60%, 30% and 10%.

Simplified example for illustration.

Worth understanding

One holding’s good performance can obscure risks elsewhere. Consider the whole portfolio.
