Cohen & Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund,
Inc. has decreased its monthly distribution by $0.004 per share, to $0.131 per share. Cohen & Steers Select
Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. has decreased its monthly
distribution by $0.009, to
$0.126. Cohen & Steers Real
Estate Opportunities and Income Fund increased its monthly
distribution by $0.006, to
$0.110. Each Fund's monthly
distribution has been adjusted to reflect current market
conditions.
Beginning in December 2016, Cohen
& Steers Limited Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. and
Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., in
accordance with exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), and with approval of its Board of
Directors (the Board), implemented a managed distribution policy
under which both Funds included long-term capital gains, where
applicable, as part of the regular monthly cash distributions to
its shareholders (the Plan). Effective July
1, 2023, the Board approved the termination of the Plan for
PSF and LDP and adopted a new policy for each Fund to make regular
monthly distributions at a level rate (the Policy). LDP and PSF
expect these distributions will continue to be declared and
announced on a quarterly basis. As a result of the Policy, both
Funds may pay distributions in excess of their investment company
taxable income and realized gains. In order to make these
distributions, each Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a
less opportune time, which could have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Fund's shares. Once the Policy is in effect
for LDP and PSF, following each distribution that does not
consist solely of net investment income, the Fund will issue a
notice that will provide information regarding the amount and
composition of the distribution and other related information. The
Board may amend or terminate the Policy, or re-adopt a managed
distribution plan, at any time without prior notice to
shareholders.
Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and
Income Fund and Cohen & Steers Real Estate Opportunities and
Income Fund pay regular monthly cash distributions to common
shareholders at a level rate that may be adjusted from time to
time. Each of these fund's distributions reflect net investment
income, and may also include net realized capital gains and/or
return of capital. Return of capital includes distributions paid by
a fund in excess of its net investment income. Such excess is
distributed from the fund's assets. Under federal tax regulations,
some or all of the return of capital distributed by a fund may be
taxed as ordinary income. The amount of monthly distributions may
vary depending on a number of factors, including changes in
portfolio and market conditions.
Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund, Inc., Cohen
& Steers Total Return Realty Fund, Inc., Cohen &
Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., Cohen &
Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc., and Cohen & Steers
Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. only:
Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund, Inc., Cohen
& Steers Total Return Realty Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers
REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc., Cohen & Steers
Infrastructure Fund, Inc., and Cohen & Steers Quality Income
Realty Fund, Inc. (each, a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds")
declared their monthly distributions pursuant to such Fund's
managed distribution plans. Each Fund implemented a managed
distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by
the Securities and Exchange Commission. The policy gives each Fund
greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout
the year and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis
to shareholders. Information can also be found on the Funds'
website at cohenandsteers.com. The Board of Directors of each Fund
may amend, terminate or suspend the managed distribution policy at
any time, which could have an adverse effect on the market price of
each Fund's shares.
Distributions of a fund's investment in real estate investment
trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships (MLPs) and/or
closed-end funds (CEFs) may later be characterized as capital gains
and/or a return of capital, depending on the character of the
dividends reported to each fund after year end by the REITs, MLPs
and CEFs held by a fund.
Each Fund's distributions may include net investment income,
long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains and/or return of
capital. Under the plan, prior to the payment date of the
distribution every month, each Fund will issue a press release and
a notice containing information about the amount and sources of the
distribution and other related information to shareholders of
record on the record date. Please note that the notice is not
provided for tax reporting purposes but for informational purposes
only. Information can also be found on the Funds' website at
cohenandsteers.com.
Shareholders should not use the information provided in
preparing their tax returns. Shareholders will receive a Form
1099-DIV for the calendar year indicating how to report Fund
distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks,
charges and expense of the fund carefully before investing. You can
