Preferreds Offer 6.5% Yields or More After Bond Market Selloff

Distribution rate is based on the current annualized distribution rate divided by the market price on the last business day of the quarter. As market conditions change, future distributions may also change. Distributions are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes after the end of the fiscal year. The Fund is currently paying distributions in excess of its net investment income, which may result in a return of capital. Absent this, the yield would have been lower.

Important Risk Considerations: Investing involves risk, including entire loss of capital invested. There can be no assurance that the investment strategy will meet its investment objectives. Diversification is not guaranteed to ensure a profit or protect against loss.

Risks of Investing in Preferred Securities. An investment in a preferred strategy is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Our preferred strategies may invest in below-investment-grade securities and unrated securities judged to be below investment grade by the advisor. Below-investment-grade securities or equivalent unrated securities generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher-grade securities.

Contingent capital securities (CoCos). CoCos are debt or preferred securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms of the security, for example a mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances, such as the issuer’s capital ratio falling below a certain level. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor, hence worsening the investor’s standing in a bankruptcy. Some CoCos provide for a reduction in the value or principal amount of the security under such circumstances. In addition, most CoCos are considered to be high yield securities and are therefore subject to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade securities.

Duration risk. Duration is a mathematical calculation of the average life of a fixed-income or preferred security that serves as a measure of the security's price risk to changes in interest rates (or yields). Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate (or yield) changes than securities with shorter durations. Duration differs from maturity in that it considers potential changes to interest rates, and a security's coupon payments, yield, price and par value and call features, in addition to the amount of time until the security matures. Various techniques may be used to shorten or lengthen a portfolio's duration. The duration of a security will be expected to change over time with changes in market factors and time to maturity.Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (Cohen & Steers) is a registered investment advisory firm that provides investment management services to corporate retirement, public and union retirement plans, endowments, foundations and mutual funds.
