Portfolio
The complete group of financial holdings one person or organisation owns.
Example
Jay has $40 in a bank account, $35 spread across several companies, and $25 lent under agreed terms. Together, the three holdings form one collection.
How it fits in
A portfolio view shows how holdings work together instead of judging each one alone. Record the percentages, fees, access rules, currencies, and shared sources of risk. Several product names can still create one concentrated portfolio when they own the same things. A fictional portfolio sketch is a comparison exercise, not a recommendation to buy.
