Portfolio definition

What does Portfolio mean? In legal practice, portfolio describes the collection of investments, assets or exposures held by an investor, fund or financial institution at a given time. It is a descriptive term rather than one defined by legislation or case law, and is used across private equity, investment management, banking, insurance and real estate. In private equity, a fund’s investments in multiple companies constitute its portfolio; each investee is a portfolio company. Fund documentation (for example, a limited partnership agreement and an investment management agreement) and finance documents often include portfolio-level provisions, such as diversification or concentration limits, reporting and valuation requirements,...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
