Why does my Draft portfolio include all my Net Worth items?

Short answer: when creating a draft portfolio, you are able to choose whether you want non-security net worth items included or not.

Long answer: we believe that the best portfolio management decisions are made considering your entire net worth - not just the context of your securities portfolio or an individual account. Many retail investors like to invest differently within their retirement portfolios and their “high-risk” or play account, but at the end of the day your financial outcomes will be driven by what happens in aggregate across these accounts. Furthermore, tax-efficient investing often requires that you allocate income-producing securities to your tax free accounts and easily-harvestable securities to your taxable accounts, for example, which means that any one of these might look poorly constructed if analyzed on its own, even if the aggregated full net worth portfolio is well-balanced and diversified. As a result, when considering hypothetical new portfolios, we want our users to think about the full picture, which is why we allow you to sync everything in your Draft portfolio to your entire net worth.
