Cohen & Steers Real Assets Fund, Inc.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Quarterly Period

 

Since March 28, 2013 represents the last day during the Fund’s quarterly period on which the New York Stock Exchange was open for trading, the Fund’s financial statements have been presented through that date to maintain consistency with the Fund’s net asset value calculations used for shareholder transactions.

 

Note 2. Portfolio Valuation

 

Investments in securities that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price reflected at the close of the NYSE on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices on such day or, if no ask price is available, at the bid price. Futures contracts traded on a commodities exchange or board of trade are valued at their settlement price at the close of trading on such exchange or board of trade. Commodity swaps are valued based on the values of underlying futures contracts, using the settlement price from the principal exchange on which the contract is traded.

 

Securities not listed on the NYSE but listed on other domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued in a similar manner. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price reflected at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If after the close of a foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued, market conditions change significantly, certain foreign securities may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors.

 

Readily marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by Cohen & Steers Capital Management (the advisor) to be over-the-counter, are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date as reported by sources deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors to reflect their fair market value. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices on such day or, if no ask price is available, at the bid price. However, certain fixed-income securities may be valued on the basis of prices provided by a pricing service when such prices are believed by the advisor, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair market value of such securities.

 

Short-term debt securities with a maturity date of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value.

 

The policies and procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors delegate authority to make fair value determinations to the advisor, subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors. The advisor has established a valuation committee (Valuation Committee) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process according to the policies and procedures approved annually by the Board of Directors. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent

 



 

Cohen & Steers Real Assets Fund, Inc.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.

 

Securities for which market prices are unavailable, or securities for which the advisor determines that the bid and/or ask price or a counterparty valuation does not reflect market value, will be valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, pursuant to procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Circumstances in which market prices may be unavailable include, but are not limited to, when trading in a security is suspended, the exchange on which the security is traded is subject to an unscheduled close or disruption or material events occur after the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. In these circumstances, the Fund determines fair value in a manner that fairly reflects the market value of the security on the valuation date based on consideration of any information or factors it deems appropriate. These may include, but are not limited to, recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security and developments in the markets.

 

Foreign equity fair value pricing procedures utilized by the Fund may cause certain foreign securities to be fair valued on the basis of fair value factors provided by a pricing service to reflect any significant market movements between the time the Fund values such securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets.

 

The Fund’s use of fair value pricing may cause the net asset value of Fund shares to differ from the net asset value that would be calculated using market quotations. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would expect to receive upon the sale of an investment or expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability.  The hierarchy of inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments is summarized below.

 

·                   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

·                   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

·                   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

For movements between the levels within the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has adopted a policy of recognizing the transfer at the end of the period in which the underlying event causing the movement occurred. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. As of March 28, 2013, there were $17,842,266 of

Futures Contracts: The Fund uses futures contracts in order to gain exposure to the underlying commodities markets. Futures contracts provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument at a fixed price or for a cash amount based on the change in the value of the underlying instrument at a specific date in the future. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated as such on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

 

The Fund may be subject to the risk that the change in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument. Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. With exchange traded futures contracts, the exchange or board of trade acts as the counterparty to futures transactions; therefore, the Fund’s credit risk is limited to failure of the exchange or board of trade. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of certain positions. In certain circumstances, the futures commissions merchant (FCM) can require additional margin on futures contracts which would subject the Fund to counterparty credit risk with the FCM.

 

Commodity swaps: The Fund uses swaps on commodity futures in order to gain exposure to the underlying commodities markets. Swap values are based on the values of underlying futures contracts, using the settlement price from the principal exchange on which the contract is traded.

 

Upon entering into a swap, the Fund is required to post an initial margin (referred to as “Independent Amount”, as defined in the swap agreement). Independent amounts are posted to a segregated account at the Fund’s custodian. The Fund is required to post additional collateral to the segregated account, for the benefit of the counterparty, as applicable, for mark-to-market losses on swaps.

 

Daily movement of collateral is subject to minimum threshold amounts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Fund may be subject to various risks from the use of swaps including: (i) the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying instrument; (ii) counterparty credit risk related to the failure, by the counterparty to an over-the-counter derivative, to perform under the terms of the contract; (iii) liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for these contracts to allow the Fund to close out its position(s); and, (iv) documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms.

 

The Fund’s activities in commodity swaps are concentrated with one counterparty. Counterparty credit risk may be mitigated to the extent the counterparty posts collateral for mark-to-market gains to the Fund.
