A portfolio manager is an individual responsible for making investment decisions using the money given to them by clients. Portfolio managers work to maximize return potential and minimize risk, reflecting the client’s specific investment goals and risk tolerance. They may manage mutual funds, pensions, trusts, or private accounts, and must often report to investors on the performance and reasoning behind investment strategies.
