Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and there can be no assurance that the future performance of any specific investment, investment strategy, policy, or portfolio will be profitable and may in fact incur losses. Gains and losses are unrealized (i.e. an accounting entry only) until that asset or investment is sold and becomes a realized gain or loss (i.e. an actual gain or loss). • Nongovernmental gifts, scholarships, grants & bequests is 238.2% of budget and up $6,229 (109.6%) from last year at this time.
