No, a portfolio is generally not required for Master's-level finance programs.

Admissions typically focus on your academic records, test scores, statement of purpose, and relevant work experience. Portfolios are usually needed only for creative fields like design or art, not finance.

However, you may need to submit:
- Motivation letter: Explains your interest in finance and career goals.
- CV (Curriculum Vitae): Details your academic background and experience.

Requirements can vary by university and country, so review each program’s guidelines carefully.
