What is the difference between my Net Worth portfolio, Asset Groups, and individual accounts?

These are three different views of the same underlying data, each serving a different purpose:

  • Net Worth portfolio — your complete financial picture. Everything you've connected or added (all brokerages, real estate, crypto, cash, etc.) is combined into one total view, accessible at Net Worth.
  • Individual accounts — a single brokerage account or asset (e.g. your IRA, your taxable brokerage, your home). Each account is a subset of your Net Worth.
  • Asset Groups — a custom grouping you define, cutting across multiple accounts. Asset Groups let you set separate risk preferences and get separate Top recommendations for each bucket. They're also useful for separating non-liquid or non-investable assets from the rest of your portfolio — for example, putting real estate or private equity in their own group so Top recommendations focuses on your liquid, investable portion only.

To switch between any of these views, use the Portfolio Selector in the left sidebar (or at the top of the page on mobile). It lets you flip between your full Net Worth portfolio, any Asset Group, and individual accounts — and the Portfolio Score, recommendations, and Analysis & comparison all recalculate against whichever view you've selected.
