Investment statement says:

Change in value of assets: (5000)

unrealized gain (loss): (20000)

uhm, I thought the unrealized loss was the change in the value of the assests

Maybe part of it was realized.

Hard to tell without any other context.

Change in value of assets is usually a month over month change. Unrealized gain or loss is just the built in gain/loss on the assets.

Example:

You bought 100 Shares of NJA for $10 five years ago.

June Statement

100 shares of NJA = $1,500

Unrealized gain/loss = $500

July Statement

100 shares of NJA = $1,300

Unrealized gain/loss = $300

Change in value of assets = ($200)
