These funds are comingled for purposes of investing all of the funds at ACF. Approximately 2500 other funds are comingled and invested in a larger portfolio for efficiency and to maximize returns. The resulting gains/losses on the overall portfolio(whether realized or unrealized) are allocated back to each of the funds based upon their respective balances. Therefore, ACF is unable to provide specific original costs, sale proceeds, or other details that are specifically the property of an individual fund. The resulting $788 Realized Gain for 2024 is reported by adding $788 to Part V111, Line 7a(i) and $0 to Part V111, Line 7b(i).
