It is a carrying case for papers, from the French word "porter" meaning to carry and folio, a large size of paper. So, a portfolio was originally a folder for carrying big pieces of paper and it is still used that way to describe a folder that artists use to carry around their work.
It has several extended meanings. It means a collection of investments, probably because originally investors carried around stock certificates in a portfolio. It also means the particular duties assigned to a government minister, as the information on these duties would have been handed to him in a portfolio when he took on the job. A member of the cabinet who does not have a specific area to supervise is called a "minister without portfolio."
