The meaning of 'Portfolio' (portfolio) depends heavily on the context. In connection with 'Künstlern' (artists) or 'Bewerbungen' (applications), it means work samples. With 'Aktien' (stocks) and 'Risiko' (risk), it is about finance. In the context of 'Produkten' (products) or 'Marken' (brands), it refers to a company's range of offerings.

offer / deal
'das Angebot' and 'das Portfolio' can both describe which products, services, or options are available. 'Angebot' often sounds closer to the customer: it is about what you can buy, book, or use. 'Portfolio' sounds more like an organized overview of everything a company or person has or is responsible for. The words can be confused when talking about a company's selection. In everyday language, 'Angebot' is usually more natural; in companies and presentations, 'Portfolio' is often more precise.
