Just wanted to bump this thread as I have more information on these inherited funds. The answer is "yes" all of these stocks have documented unrealized gains/losses. I am able to see all of the gains/losses in my account and I spoke to the advisor to this account and he told me that I can trade all of the single stocks for VTI but I will pay tax on the gains. However, losses offset gains, and it just so happens if I add up all of the gains and losses it's less than a $100 gain. This makes me want to just convert everything to VTI and pay tax on the $100 and be done with it. HOWEVER, he also told me that the trade will cost 1-1.2% of the value to make (rolling my eyes a little bit, but whatever), so I have to factor that in. I could also keep AAPL and PFE as those are the two I like the most (also gainers) and end up with a net loss and protect the value of those funds, call it $20K, from the 1-1.2% trade cost.
Thoughts?
