PFS/REO question

How do you include unrealized positions in deals on a PFS/REO. Meaning if I got 5% of a deal as a promoted position but it’s only realized once all equity is repaid, does it go on the PFS/REO after it’s realized or can it be included prior?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, unrealized positions in deals, such as a 5% promoted position that is contingent on equity repayment, are typically not included on a PFS (Personal Financial Statement) or REO (Real Estate Owned) until they are realized. This is because the position is conditional and not yet a tangible asset or equity stake. Including it prematurely could misrepresent your financial standing.

However, if you want to reflect it, you could potentially include a note or disclosure indicating the contingent nature of the position, but it would not be part of the formal equity or asset calculation until realized. Always ensure clarity and transparency to avoid any misinterpretation.
