(b)Summary of Equity Investments
Our net unrealized gains recognized during the reporting period on our marketable and non-marketable equity securities still held as of January 23, 2021 was $4 million for each of the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021, and a net gain of $3 million for the corresponding periods of fiscal 2020. Our net adjustments to non-marketable equity securities measured using the measurement alternative was a net gain of $3 million and $4 million for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2021, respectively. These adjustments were net gains of $3 million for each of the corresponding periods of fiscal 2020. We held equity interests in certain private equity funds of $0.7 billion as of each of January 23, 2021 and July 25, 2020, which are accounted for under the NAV practical expedient.
In the ordinary course of business, we have investments in privately held companies and provide financing to certain customers. These privately held companies and customers are evaluated for consolidation under the variable interest or voting interest entity models. We evaluate on an ongoing basis our investments in these privately held companies and our customer financings, and have determined that as of January 23, 2021, except as disclosed herein, there were no significant variable interest or voting interest entities required to be consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The carrying value of our investments in privately held companies was $1.3 billion as of each of January 23, 2021 and July 25, 2020.
Of the total carrying value of our investments in privately held companies as of January 23, 2021, $0.7 billion of such investments are considered to be in variable interest entities which are unconsolidated. We have total funding commitments of $0.3 billion related to privately held investments, some of which may be based on the achievement of certain agreed-upon milestones, and some of which are required to be funded on demand. The carrying value of these investments and the additional funding commitments collectively represent our maximum exposure related to privately held investments.
