holdings
Explanation:
The reference here is to the company's interests (stakes) in various other companies. In US business usage, that would be "holdings".

Cf. Schäfer,
Beteiligung f
(com) interest
– holding
– stake
– participation
– participating interest (or share)
(Fin) equity holding (or stake)
– industrial holding
– share of equity capital
(Fin) investment
[Schäfer, Hyperbook Wirtschaftsenglisch]

So, within your context, it would be "a total of 45 holdings offer great business opportunities, but also constitute a challenge" (or something like that).
Hope it helps!
