What is an investment portfolio?
An investment portfolio is simply the collection of assets you hold as an investor. These assets generally fall into two broad categories – growth and defensive – and finding the right balance between them is at the heart of good investment advice.
Growth assets include things like Australian and international shares, property, infrastructure and alternative investments. They offer higher potential returns over time but come with more short-term variability.
Defensive assets such as bonds, cash and term deposits are more stable and focused on protecting your capital, but typically offer lower returns. Most investors hold a mix of both. The right balance depends on your goals, your timeframe, and how much market movement you’re comfortable with.
