portfolio

Artist's sample case

A portfolio is a case for carrying loose papers, drawings, or documents.

From this comes the extended sense of a collection of work samples, especially for artists, designers, or writers seeking employment: She brought her portfolio to the interview.

In finance, a portfolio is the range of investments held by a person or institution: a diversified portfolio.

A minister's portfolio is their area of governmental responsibility.
