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 income of the 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) 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 REITs held by a
fund.
The amount and composition of each fund's distribution is
disclosed quarterly at cohenandsteers.com; however, this
information may change at the end of the year because the final tax
characteristics of all fund distributions cannot be determined with
certainty until after the end of the calendar year. Final tax
characteristics of all fund distributions will be provided on Form
1099-DIV, which is mailed after the close of the calendar year.
