Cohen & Steers Realty Fund Updates Distribution Sources

Under its managed distribution policy, the fund aims to provide regular monthly payouts to shareholders, a strategy that allows for flexibility in distributing long-term capital gains. However, the latest figures for the period ending June 30, 2026, show that net investment income accounts for only 32.08% of year-to-date distributions, with the remainder composed of short-term capital gains and a significant portion of capital returns. The fund emphasizes that these figures are preliminary estimates and should not be used for tax reporting. The final tax classification will be provided to shareholders via Form 1099-DIV after the calendar year concludes.

Management cautions that distribution amounts do not necessarily correlate with the fund's overall investment performance. While the fund reported a year-to-date cumulative total return of 10.28% through May 31, 2026, the current annualized distribution rate stands at 8.13%. Investors are advised that a return of capital, which occurs when payouts exceed net investment income and realized gains, effectively reduces the tax basis of their shares. The board retains the authority to amend or terminate this policy at any time, a move that could influence the market price of the fund's shares.
