| Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | | Tax Cost of Investments | |
| $250,519,562 | | | | $ | (257,320,567) | | | | | $ | (6,801,005) | | | | | $ | 1,431,844,768 | | |
The difference between the tax cost of investments and the cost of investments for GAAP purposes is primarily due to the tax treatment of wash sale losses, mark to market on derivatives, mark to market on passive foreign investment companies, total return swaps, partnerships, and tax adjustments related to holding offsetting positions such as constructive sales.
Dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of June 30, 2020.
