This research paper aims to understand how the Portfolio's creation using the Markowitz Model will help choose the best Portfolio among the number of available portfolios if an investor is investing in two companies. This paper will help all investors who want to invest in companies that make maximum profit for an equal amount of Risk instead of investing in random companies. The data included in this research is from secondary data collected from financeyahoo.com as a source of data for analyzing best portfolios, which will be helpful for an investor to invest in these companies, specifically IT sectors. The findings of this research paper are to make an investment in the best Portfolios than making investments from random two companies. In this, there are ten portfolios' out of which there are five Portfolios those are the best portfolios for an investor to make investments in such companies, remaining there are only in the proportion of 70: 30, 80: 20, 90: 10 and 100: 0 which are not suitable to invest as per my opinion. This research paper is only limited to those investors who want to invest in two companies. Future researchers can concentrate on making portfolios of more than three companies and try to link with other more profitable sectors and create an investor easy to make the investment that brings maximum returns and minimizes the Risk.
