Answer(1): Minimally diverse portfolio- As the name suggest, minimal diverse portfolio has less stocks but the portfolio is well diversified. It has some stocks of different industries, it does not have more stocks but few.
Example: I am an investor and invest for long term. My portfolio is minimally diverse portfolio which contains four stocks of different industries:
Stock name | Industry | Weight |
Apple Inc. | Technology | 25% |
Johnson & Johnson | Pharma | 25% |
Walmart Inc. | FMCG | 25% |
Wells Fargo | Financial services | 25% |
Answer(2): This portfolio is minimally diverse because it has only four stocks and not many stocks. Minimally diverse portfolio provides higher return than the various stocks in the portfolio. If portfolio contains many stocks, return will be lower.
Answer(3): This portfolio is an "Aggressive one". It contains less number of stocks and these all stocks belong to equity market so the portfolio is aggressive.
