Portfolio management involves organizing financial assets into structured investment profiles to meet institutional goals under defined risk thresholds. Hedging is the use of financial tools such as derivatives to neutralize or offset potential losses caused by market fluctuations. Together, these functions enable institutions to balance growth with protection in changing financial environments.
