Portfolio Management

  

You could rename this career "risk and reward management." Or just risk management. Or Bob. Bob's always a nice name.

Portfolio management is the process of managing a series of investments, sometimes aligned, sometimes disparate.

Like...if you're managing a portfolio of office buildings in a given region in the country, you then manage streams of rent, and you worry about interest rates and insurance costs and vandals. Different risks versus your managing a basket of, say, growth equities in tech.
