## Overview of portfolios

A portfolio is a collection of investments or solution sets.

In a small-to-midsize enterprise, one portfolio can typically govern the entire solution set. In a large enterprise, there can be multiple portfolios, one for each line of business. They collectively build up a portfolio hierarchy for the enterprise.

Each portfolio fulfills its contribution to realize the overall enterprise strategy.
