Explanation

The Portfolio Management Plan is the overarching management document, and the Portfolio Performance Management Plan is a subsidiary plan (component) nested within it. The Portfolio Management Plan contains several subsidiary plans that together describe how various aspects of the portfolio will be managed - performance being one of them. The Portfolio Strategic Plan is a separate, higher-level document focused on strategic alignment and goals. So the correct relationship is: Portfolio Performance Management Plan ⊂ Portfolio Management Plan, with the Strategic Plan being a distinct document at a different level.
