If I understand you right, an equity investment is investment in equities (stocks?) and realized is when they have been sold and you have either profit or loss, and unrealized has not been sold, and you still have either profit or loss, but only on paper. In taxes, you only concern yourself with the realized profit or loss.

equity==money, money investment is involves cash to expect reasonable return in the future.
It should be realized because investment involves risk factor, when reward come, you don't realized your investment and when risk factor greater reward, your investment become unrealized and may going under.
Classic example is Dell, couple years ago, Dell is the darling of wallstreet, your investment should be realized by then, if you hold until now, you may lose your investment compltely
