A portfolio investment entity is essentially an arrangement which contains numerous investments jointly. It allows risk to be financial leverage to investors who are interested in diversifying it, ease management, and tax or regulatory advantages. It is unlike to direct investment where one has to own assets individually but invests using a single structured vehicle that does the heavy lifting.
