I disagree... there are more ways you can use this matrix to creatively extract information out of it.

For instance, you can normalize along the columns, and build a "recommender system" using matrix factorization.

With that, when a new person comes with a portfolio, the system will output a probability for this new person to acquire the other assets he doesn't have.

It's (the very basic) idea of how Netflix recommends movies.
