What is the term for everything you've invested in — your personal mix of assets?

• A. Asset Class
• B. Investment Portfolio
• C. Bear Market
• D. Full-Service Broker

Answer: (B)

Your investment portfolio is the term for everything you've invested in—the collection of all your assets and holdings. It includes stocks, bonds, cash, mutual funds or ETFs, real estate, and any other investments you own. Seeing it as a portfolio helps you understand your overall risk and potential return, because it shows how your assets are spread across different classes and individual holdings. Managing the portfolio often involves asset allocation (how much in each category) and rebalancing to keep your risk aligned with your goals and time horizon. The other terms refer to parts of this picture (an asset class is a category of investments, a bear market is a market downturn, a full-service broker is a service provider) but don’t describe the complete set you own.
