The Funds pay regular quarterly cash distributions to common
shareholders at a level rate that may be adjusted from time to
time, based on the projected performance of a Fund. The amount of
quarterly distributions may vary depending on a number of factors,
including changes in portfolio and market conditions. Each 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, and 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.
In addition, distributions for Funds investing in real estate
investment trusts (REITs) and 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 and CEFs held by a Fund.
The amount and composition of each fund's distribution is
disclosed quarterly at cohenandsteers.com; however, this
information may change after each calendar year end once the final
tax characteristics of all fund distributions can be determined
with certainty. Final tax characteristics of all fund
distributions will be provided on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed
after the close of each calendar year.
