Portfolio risk refers to the overall potential for loss or volatility across a collection of investments, arising from factors like market movements, concentration, correlation between assets, and macroeconomic conditions. Financial analysts, portfolio managers, and risk officers measure it using tools such as standard deviation, beta, Value at Risk (VaR), and stress testing to guide diversification and hedging decisions. Managing it well is central to asset management, banking, and insurance work.
