Unrealized capital gains are typically not recorded on the balance sheet, as they represent potential gains that have not yet been realized through a sale. However, they can be reflected in the equity section of the balance sheet under "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" (AOCI) if they pertain to available-for-sale securities. This treatment aligns with accounting standards that require unrealized gains and losses to be reported in the equity section rather than as assets.
