Gain/Loss
The monetary amount of a gain or loss realized from
selling shares. If the amount is a loss, it is displayed in red characters with a leading minus
sign. On gain/loss screens, if the Gain/Loss is not known, the column is blank, with a hyphen (-) displaying instead of an amount. The gain/loss is unknown when the cost basis is unknown. On the Realized Gain/Loss screen, Gain/Loss may be shown as "Non-reportable" if the position was closed by an action other than a 1099-B-reportable event, for example, the transfer of all shares. In this case, Non-reportable extends into the Term column.
Gain on Sale
For an order to exercise incentive stock options (ISO),
this is the total proceeds from the order. The proceeds are calculated by subtracting the
fair market value at exercise from the exercise cost.
The exercise cost is the grant price per share
multiplied by the number of shares exercised.
Gain per TSRU
Equal to the Settlement Price less the Grant Price plus Dividend per Share.
Gamma
The rate of change in an option's delta for a one-point change in the price of the underlying security.
Example: A position gamma of 0.051 means that for every $1 change in the underlying, the combined deltas would rise/fall by $0.051.

Growth Funds
Growth funds are designed to pursue capital
appreciation over the long-term. Some growth funds are broad-based, meaning that they have a wide range
of stocks and industries in which they can invest. Others have a narrower focus - for example, they may
invest in a particular type of stock, such as small-cap or cyclical stocks, or use a specialized approach
to stock selection, such as investing only in stocks that are currently underpriced. Growth funds are
more volatile than more conservative income or money market funds and generally reflect changes in market
conditions and other company, political, and economic news.
