(b)Summary of Equity Investments
We held marketable equity securities of $481 million and $431 million as of July 27, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively. We recognized a net unrealized gain of $71 million and $36 million for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively, on our marketable securities still held as of the reporting date. Our net adjustments to non-marketable equity securities measured using the measurement alternative still held was a net loss of $165 million and $8 million for fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. We held equity interests in certain private equity funds of $0.8 billion and $0.9 billion as of July 27, 2024 and July 29, 2023, respectively, 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 July 27, 2024, there were no additional significant variable interest or voting interest entities required to be consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of July 27, 2024, the carrying value of our investments in privately held companies was $1.8 billion. Of the total carrying value of our investments in privately held companies as of July 27, 2024, $0.9 billion of such investments are considered to be in variable interest entities which are unconsolidated. We have total funding commitments of $0.2 billion related to privately held investments. The carrying value of these investments and the additional funding commitments, collectively, represent our maximum exposure related to privately held investments.
