Summary Section

Investment Objective

The investment objective of Cohen & Steers Realty Shares, Inc. (the “Fund”) is total return through investment in real estate securities.

Fund Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you could pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts on Class A shares if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in Cohen & Steers open-end mutual funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and in “How to Purchase, Exchange and Sell Fund Shares—Purchasing the Class of Fund Shares that is Best for You” in the Fund’s prospectus (the “Prospectus”), in the Appendix to this Prospectus titled “Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries” (the “Appendix”), and “Reducing the Initial Sales Charge on Class A Shares” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”). If you purchase Class I, Class L or Class Z shares through a financial intermediary acting as an agent on behalf of its customers, that financial intermediary may charge you a commission. Such commissions, if any, are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in the fee table or expense example below. Class F shares are currently not available for purchase.

	Class A	Class C	Class F(1)	Class I	Class L	Class R	Class Z

(1)

Class F shares are currently not available for purchase.

(2)

There is a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% on purchases of $1 million or more of Class A shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase.

(3)

For Class C shares, the maximum deferred sales charge does not apply after one year.

(4)

The maximum shareholder service fee for Class I shares is 0.10%.

(5)

Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses through June 30, 2026, so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.15% for Class A shares, 1.80% for Class C shares, 0.80% for Class F shares, 0.88% for Class I shares, 0.88% for Class L shares, 1.30% for Class R shares and 0.80% for Class Z shares. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund’s Board of Directors and the Advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Fund.

(6)

The total annual fund operating expenses for Class F shares are estimated.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and that the Advisor did not waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses after June 30, 2026 (through June 30, 2026, expenses are based on the net amount pursuant to the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A Shares	$562	$805	$1,067	$1,814
Class F Shares	$82	$261	$457	$1,022
Class I Shares	$90	$287	$500	$1,116
Class L Shares	$90	$289	$507	$1,133
Class R Shares	$132	$418	$725	$1,598
Class Z Shares	$82	$261	$457	$1,022
Class C Shares Assuming redemption at the end of the period	$283	$572	$987	$2,145
Class C Shares Assuming no redemption at the end of the period	$183	$572	$987	$2,145

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 30% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Advisor adheres to a bottom-up, relative value investment process when selecting publicly traded real estate securities. To guide the portfolio construction process, the Advisor utilizes a proprietary valuation model that quantifies relative valuation of real estate securities based on price-to-net asset value (“NAV”), cash flow multiple/growth ratios and a dividend discount model (“DDM”). Analysts incorporate both quantitative and qualitative analysis in their NAV, cash flow, growth and DDM estimates. The company research process includes an evaluation of the commercial real estate supply and demand dynamics, management, strategy, property quality, financial strength and corporate structure. Judgments with respect to risk control, geographic and property sector diversification, liquidity and other factors are considered along with the models’ output and drive the portfolio managers’ investment decisions. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks and other equity securities issued by real estate companies. Real estate equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks and other equity securities issued by real estate companies, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and similar REIT-like entities. A real estate company is one that (i) derives at least 50% of its revenue from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of commercial, industrial or residential real estate and land; or (ii) has at least 50% of its assets invested in such real estate. REITs are companies that own interests in real estate or in real estate related loans or other interests, and their revenue primarily consists of rent derived from owned, income producing real estate properties and capital gains from the sale of such properties. The Fund may invest without limit in shares of REITs. A REIT in the U.S. is generally not taxed on income distributed to shareholders so long as it meets certain tax related requirements, including the requirement that it distribute substantially all of its taxable income to such shareholders (other than net capital gains for each taxable year). Foreign REITs and REIT-like entities are organized outside of the U.S. and have operations and receive tax treatment in their respective countries similar to that of U.S. REITs. The Fund retains the ability to invest in real estate companies of any market capitalization.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers which meet the same criteria for investment as domestic companies, including investments in such companies in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”).

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

Investment Risk

An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.

Market Risk

Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the REIT shares and other securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.

Common Stock Risk

Common stocks are subject to special risks. Although common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed-income securities over the long-term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatility in returns. Common stocks may be more susceptible to adverse changes in market value due to issuer specific events or general movements in the equities markets. A drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks held by the Fund. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes to investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or the occurrence of political or economic events affecting issuers. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of common stock in which the Fund has invested; the price of common stock of an issuer may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks held by the Fund. Also, common stock of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are typically subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and assets, and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such issuers. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates as the costs of capital rise and borrowing costs increase.

Real Estate Market Risk

Since the Fund concentrates its assets in companies engaged in the real estate industry, your investment in the Fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from unanticipated economic, legal, cultural or technological developments. Real estate company prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to pay their loans and poor management, and residential developers, in particular, could be negatively impacted by falling home prices, slower mortgage origination and rising construction costs.

REIT Risk

In addition to the risks of securities linked to the real estate industry, REITs are subject to certain other risks related to their structure and focus. REITs generally are dependent upon management skills and may not be diversified. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to (i) qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable tax law, or (ii) maintain their exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The above factors may also adversely affect a borrower’s or a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments.

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities Risk

Risks of investing in foreign securities, which can be expected to be greater for investments in emerging markets, include currency risks, future political and economic developments, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts (including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine), instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), and possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities (including trading and tariff arrangements and restrictions, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks). In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than about a domestic issuer, and foreign issuers may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements as domestic issuers.

Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk

Companies in the real estate industry tend to be small- to medium-sized companies in relation to the equity markets as a whole. There may be less trading in a smaller company’s stock, which means that buy and sell transactions in that stock could have a larger impact on the stock’s price than is the case with larger company stocks. Smaller companies also may have fewer lines of business so that changes in any one line of business may have a greater impact on a smaller company’s stock price than is the case for a larger company. Further, smaller company stocks may perform differently in different cycles than larger company stocks. Accordingly, real estate company shares can, and at times will, perform differently than large company stocks.

Preferred Securities Risk

There are various risks associated with investing in preferred securities. These risks include deferral and omission of distributions; credit risk; subordination to bonds and other debt securities in a company’s capital structure; interest rate risk; prepayment and extension risk; call, reinvestment and income risk; liquidity risk; limited voting rights; and special redemption rights.

Active Management Risk

As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund’s investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Advisor’s investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund’s investment objective or negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance.

Non-Diversification Risk

As a “non-diversified” investment company, the Fund can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified investment company. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to any single political, regulatory or economic occurrence and to the financial condition of individual issuers in which it invests. The Fund’s relative lack of diversity may subject investors to greater risk of loss than a fund that has a diversified portfolio.

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk

crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers and other governmental trade or market control programs, the potential exit of a country from its respective union and related geopolitical events, have led and may in the future lead to market volatility and may have long-lasting impacts on U.S. and global economies and financial markets. Supply chain disruptions or significant changes in the supply or prices of commodities or other economic inputs may have material and unexpected effects on both global securities markets and individual countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries. Events occurring in one region of the world may negatively impact industries and regions that are not otherwise directly impacted by the events. Additionally, those events, as well as other changes in foreign and domestic political and economic conditions, could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, secondary trading, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments.

Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine significantly amplified already existing geopolitical tensions. The United States and many other countries have instituted various economic sanctions against Russia, Russian individuals and entities and Belarus. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions imposed and other punitive actions taken (including any Russian retaliatory responses to such sanctions and actions), and resulting disruptions in Europe and globally cannot be predicted, but could be significant and have a severe adverse effect on the global economy, securities markets and commodities markets globally, including through global supply chain disruptions, increased inflationary pressures and reduced economic activity.

Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East could have similar negative impacts. The possibility of a prolonged conflict and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the oil and natural gas markets.

Systemic risk events in the financial sectors and/or resulting government actions can negatively impact investments held by the Fund. For example, issues with certain regional U.S. banks and other financial institutions in March 2023 raised economic concerns over disruption in the U.S. banking system. These risks also may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms, and exchanges, with which the Fund interacts. There can be no certainty that any actions taken by the U.S. government to strengthen public confidence in the U.S. banking system or financial markets will be effective in mitigating the effects of financial institution failures on the economy and restoring or maintaining public confidence. In addition, raising the U.S. Government debt ceiling has become increasingly politicized. Any failure to increase the total amount that the U.S. Government is authorized to borrow could lead to a default on U.S. Government obligations. A default or a threat of default by the U.S. Government would be highly disruptive to the U.S. and global securities markets and could significantly reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.

The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies may, among other things, adversely affect the Fund’s investments denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have, and the duration of those effects.

The rapid development and increasingly widespread use and regulation of artificial intelligence including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (collectively, “AI Technologies”), may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the rapid advanced

development of AI Technologies and efforts to regulate or control its use and advancement may have significant positive or negative impacts on a wide range of different industries and the global economy. It is not possible to predict which companies, sectors, or economies may benefit or be disadvantaged by such developments, or is it possible to determine the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.

Some political leaders around the world (including in the U.S. and certain European nations) have been and may be elected on protectionist platforms, raising questions about the future of global free trade. Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers and bilateral trade frictions, together with any future downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, could adversely affect the financial performance of the Fund and its investments.

Regulatory Risk

Legal and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and other financial institutions or products (such as banking or insurance products), and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator’s disagreement with the Fund’s interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund. The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the fund industry in general. These regulations or any laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future may restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions or raise additional capital and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund.

Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants’ ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.

The Fund and the instruments in which it invests may be subject to new or additional regulatory constraints in the future. While the full extent of all of these regulations is still unclear, these regulations and actions may adversely affect both the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests and its ability to execute its investment strategy. For example, climate change regulation (such as decarbonization legislation, other mandatory controls to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, or related disclosure requirements) could significantly affect the Fund or its investments by, among other things, increasing compliance costs or underlying companies’ operating costs and capital expenditures. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.

Cyber Security Risk

operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the Advisor, or a custodian, transfer agent, or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, affect the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential Fund information, impede trading, cause reputational damage, and subject the Fund to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and additional compliance costs. Furthermore, as a result of breaches in cyber security or other operational and technology disruptions or failures, an exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities or an entire market, which may result in a Fund being, among other things, unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments or unable to accurately price its investments. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect and prevent cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Similar types of cyber security risks also are present for issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the Fund’s investment in such securities to lose value.

Each of the Fund and the Advisor may have limited ability to detect and prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks or security or technology breakdowns affecting the Fund’s third-party service providers. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect and prevent or reduce the impact of cyber-attacks, such plans and systems are subject to inherent limitations.

Shareholder Concentration Risk

The Fund may have one or more large shareholders or a group of shareholders investing in classes of Fund shares indirectly through an account, platform or program sponsored by a financial institution. In addition, a large number of shareholders collectively may purchase or redeem Fund shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly (collectively, such transactions are referred to as “large shareholder transactions”). Investment and asset allocation decisions by such financial institutions regarding the account, platform or program through which multiple shareholders invest may result in subscription and redemption decisions that have a significant impact on the assets, expenses and trading activities of the Fund. Such a decision may cause the Fund to sell assets (or invest cash) at disadvantageous times or prices, increase or accelerate taxable income and/or gains or transaction costs and may negatively affect the Fund’s NAV, performance, or ability to satisfy redemptions in a timely manner. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. The Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation of large redemptions, diluting its investment returns. A number of circumstances may cause a Fund to experience large redemptions, such as changes in investors’ circumstances; changes in the eligibility criteria for a Fund or share class of the Fund; liquidations, reorganizations, repositionings, or other announced Fund events; or changes in investment objectives, strategies, policies, risks, or investment personnel.

Other Investment Companies Risk

To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds’ portfolio securities, and a

shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the 1940 Act may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired.

Rule 12d1-4 and other applicable rules under Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act, permit an investment company to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. This could affect the Fund’s ability to redeem its investments in other investment companies, make such investments less attractive, cause the Fund to incur losses, realize taxable gains distributable to shareholders, incur greater or unexpected expenses or experience other adverse consequences.

Your investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency.

Fund Performance

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class L shares. Prior to July 1, 2019, the Fund had only one class of shares outstanding, those shares have been redesignated as “Class L” shares. Because Class F shares are currently not available for purchase, and have therefore not commenced investment operations, no performance information is provided for this share class. The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns compare with the performance of a selected broad-based market index, the S&P 500 Index, over various time periods. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of common stocks that is frequently used as a general measure of U.S. stock market performance. In addition to the broad-based market index, the table shows performance of a linked benchmark (the “Linked Benchmark”). The Linked Benchmark is represented by the performance of the FTSE Nareit Equity REITs Index through March 31, 2019 and the FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs Index thereafter. The FTSE Nareit Equity REITs Index contains all tax-qualified real estate investment trusts (REITs) except timber and infrastructure REITs with more than 50% of total assets in qualifying real estate assets other than mortgages secured by real property that also meet minimum size and liquidity criteria. The FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs Index contains all tax-qualified REITs with more than 50% of total assets in qualifying real estate assets other than mortgages secured by real property that also meet minimum size and liquidity criteria. The Advisor believes that this index, as compared to the broad-based market index, is comprised of securities that are more representative of the Fund’s investment strategy.Past performance (both before and after taxes) is not, however, an indication as to how the Fund may perform in the future. Updated performance information, including the Fund’s NAV per share, is available at www.cohenandsteers.com or by calling (800) 330-7348.

Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitation, performance would have been lower. The table following the bar chart reflects applicable sales charges, if any.

Class L Shares

Highest quarterly return during this period:	17.20%	quarter ended	March 31, 2019
Lowest quarterly return during this period:	-22.83%	quarter ended	March 31, 2020

(1) The annual total returns for Class A, C, I, R and Z shares of the Fund are substantially similar to the annual total returns of Class L shares because the assets of all classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities. The annual total returns differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses. Class F shares are currently not available for purchase.

The inception date for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class Z shares is July 1, 2019. Since inception and through December 31, 2024, Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class Z share had a return before taxes of 4.71%, 4.91%, 5.87%, 5.43% and 5.96%, respectively.

After-tax returns are shown for Class L shares only. After-tax returns for Class A, C, I, R and Z shares will vary. Class F shares are currently not available for purchase. After-tax returns are calculated

using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-advantaged arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of taxable ordinary income, taxable capital gains and/or a non-taxable return of capital, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Investments through such tax-advantaged arrangements may be taxed upon withdrawal of monies from the tax-advantaged arrangement.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its Advisor or Distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your individual financial representative to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your individual financial representative or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Investment Objective, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks

Objective

The investment objective of the Fund is total return through investment in real estate securities. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund seeks both capital appreciation and current income. The Fund will concentrate its investments in the real estate industry. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund may change its investment objective without shareholder approval, although it has no current intention to do so. Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change to the Fund’s investment objective.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Advisor adheres to a bottom-up, relative value investment process when selecting publicly traded real estate securities. To guide the portfolio construction process, the Advisor utilizes a proprietary valuation model that quantifies relative valuation of real estate securities based on price-to-NAV, cash flow multiple/growth ratios and a DDM. Analysts incorporate both quantitative and qualitative analysis in their NAV, cash flow, growth and DDM estimates. The company research process includes an evaluation of the commercial real estate supply and demand dynamics, management, strategy, property quality, financial strength and corporate structure. Judgments with respect to risk control, geographic and property sector diversification, liquidity and other factors are considered along with the models’ output and drive the portfolio managers’ investment decisions. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific ESG outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.

The following are the Fund’s principal investment strategies. A more detailed description of the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and more detailed information about the Fund’s investments are contained in the Fund’s SAI.

Real Estate Companies

For purposes of the Fund’s investment policies, a real estate company is one that:

●

derives at least 50% of its revenues from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of commercial, industrial or residential real estate and land;

●

has at least 50% of its assets invested in such real estate.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80%, and normally substantially all, of its total assets in a portfolio of equity securities issued by real estate companies (including REITs and REIT-like entities).

The equity securities in which the Fund invests can consist of:

●

common stocks;

●

rights or warrants to purchase common stocks;

●

securities convertible into common stocks where the conversion feature represents, in the Advisor's view, a significant element of the securities’ value;

●

preferred stocks;

●

private investments in public equity (“PIPEs”); and

●

real estate private placements.

Real Estate Investment Trusts

REITs are companies that own interests in real estate or in real estate related loans or other interests, and their revenue primarily consists of rent derived from owned, income producing real estate properties and capital gains from the sale of such properties. The Fund may invest without limit in shares of REITs. A REIT in the U.S. is generally not taxed on income distributed to shareholders so long as it meets certain tax related requirements, including the requirement that it distribute substantially all of its taxable income to such shareholders (other than net capital gains for each taxable year). As a result, U.S. REITs tend to pay relatively higher dividends than other types of companies. Dividends paid by U.S. REITs generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction, and are generally not considered “qualified dividend income” (“QDI”) eligible for reduced rates of taxation for U.S. federal income tax purposes but may be considered to be “qualified REIT dividends” eligible for a 20% deduction for non-corporate taxpayers. Unless extended by Congress, this deduction for qualified REIT dividends will not be available for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025 and thereafter such dividends would be taxed in the same manner as other dividends, as discussed in this prospectus. Until the end of 2025, “qualified REIT dividends” are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers. Qualified REIT dividends are dividends received from REITs that are neither capital gain dividends nor are eligible for treatment as QDI, and with respect to which the REIT shareholder meets certain other requirements. The Fund is permitted to pass through qualified REIT dividends to its shareholders, provided the shareholders meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to their shares. See “Additional Information—Tax Considerations” in this Prospectus and “Taxation” in the SAI.

REITs can generally be classified as equity REITs or mortgage REITs. Equity REITs, which invest the majority of their assets directly in real property, derive their income primarily from rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs, which invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages, derive their income primarily from interest payments. The Fund invests primarily in equity REITs.

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities and Depositary Receipts

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities of non-U.S. real estate companies, including investments in such companies in the form of ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. Generally, ADRs in registered form are dollar-denominated securities designed for use in the U.S. securities markets, which represent and may be converted into an underlying foreign security. GDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use outside the United States. EDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use in the European securities markets. The Fund may invest in foreign issuers in both developed and emerging markets.

Preferred Stocks

The Fund may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stocks are securities that pay dividends at a specified rate and have a preference over common stocks in the payment of dividends and the liquidation of assets. This means that a company must pay dividends on its preferred stock prior to paying dividends on its common stock. In addition, in the event a company is liquidated, preferred shareholders must be fully repaid on their investments before common shareholders can receive any money from the company. Preferred shareholders, however, usually have no right to vote for a company’s directors or on other corporate matters. Preferred stocks pay a fixed stream of income to investors, and this income stream is a primary source of the long-term investment return on preferred stocks. As a result, the market value of preferred stocks is generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the market value of common stocks. In this respect, preferred stocks share many investment characteristics with debt securities.

Investment Restrictions

Except as otherwise stated, all percentage restrictions referenced in this Prospectus or the SAI are measured at the time of investment. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from market movements will not be considered a violation of the restriction.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

This section contains a discussion of the general risks of investing in the Fund. As with any fund, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objective or that the Fund’s performance will be positive for any period of time. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or by any bank or governmental agency.

Investment Risk

An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.

Market Risk

Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the REIT shares and other securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or

down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.

Common Stock Risk

Real Estate Market Risk

The Fund will not invest in real estate directly, but will invest in securities issued by real estate companies. However, because of its policy of concentration in the securities of companies in the real estate industry, the Fund is also subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. These risks include:

●

declines in the value of real estate;

●

risks related to general and local economic conditions;

●

possible lack of availability of mortgage funds;

●

overbuilding;

●

extended vacancies of properties;

●

increased competition;

●

increases in property taxes and operating expenses;

●

changes in zoning laws;

●

losses due to costs resulting from the clean-up of environmental problems;

●

liability to third parties for damages resulting from environmental problems;

●

casualty or condemnation losses;

●

limitations on rents;

●

changes in neighborhood values and the appeal of properties to tenants;

●

changes in interest rates;

●

falling home prices;

●

failure of borrowers to pay their loans;

●

early payment or restructuring of mortgage loans;

●

slower mortgage origination; and

●

rising construction costs.

Thus, the value of the Fund’s shares may change at different rates compared to the value of shares of a mutual fund with investments in a mix of different industries.

REIT Risk

In addition to the risks of securities linked to the real estate industry, REITs are subject to certain other risks related to their structure and focus. REITs generally are dependent upon management skills and may not be diversified. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to (i) qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable tax law, or (ii) maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act. The above factors may also adversely affect a borrower’s or a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments.

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities Risk

Investing in foreign securities involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments, including, but not limited to:

●

foreign economic, financial, political and social developments, such as, international wars or conflicts (including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine), instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics);

●

different legal systems;

●

the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions;

●

less governmental supervision;

●

regulation changes;

●

less publicly available information about foreign companies due to less rigorous disclosure and accounting standards or regulatory practices;

●

high and volatile rates of inflation;

●

foreign currency devaluation;

●

fluctuating interest rates; and

●

different accounting, auditing and financial record-keeping standards and requirements.

Investments in foreign securities, especially in emerging market countries, will expose the Fund to the direct or indirect consequences of political, social or economic changes in the countries that issue the securities or in which the issuers are located. Political developments in foreign countries or the United States may at times subject such countries to sanctions from the U.S. government, foreign governments and/or international institutions that could negatively affect the Fund’s investments in issuers located in, doing business in or with assets in such countries. Certain countries in which the Fund may invest, especially emerging market countries, have historically experienced, and may continue to experience, high rates of inflation, high interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, large amounts of external debt, balance of payments and trade difficulties and extreme poverty and unemployment. Many of these countries are also characterized by political uncertainty and instability. The cost of servicing external debt will generally be adversely affected by rising international interest rates because many external debt obligations bear interest at rates which are adjusted based upon international interest rates. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries, there is a risk of:

●

the possibility of expropriation of assets;

●

confiscatory taxation;

●

difficulty in obtaining or enforcing a court judgment;

●

economic, political or social instability; and

●

diplomatic developments that could affect investments in those countries.

In addition, individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as:

●

growth of gross domestic product;

●

rates of inflation;

●

capital reinvestment;

●

resources;

●

self-sufficiency; and

●

balance of payments position.

To the extent the Fund’s investments are focused in a geographic region or country, the Fund will be subject, to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were less geographically focused, to the risks of

adverse changes in that region or country. In addition, certain investments in foreign securities also may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s return on those securities.

Certain non-U.S. real estate companies in which the Fund invests may constitute “passive foreign investment companies.” See “Additional Information—Tax Considerations” in this Prospectus and “Taxation” in the SAI. This may subject the Fund to U.S. federal tax and interest charges, or may cause the Fund to recognize taxable income without a corresponding receipt of cash. The Fund may be required to liquidate other investments (including when it is not advantageous to do so) to meet its distribution requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”).

Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk

Preferred Securities Risk

●

Deferral and Omission Risk. Preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, at its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a stated period without any adverse consequences to the issuer. In certain cases, deferring or omitting distributions may be mandatory. If the Fund owns a preferred security that is deferring its distributions, the Fund may be required to report income for tax purposes although it has not yet received such income. In addition, recent changes in bank regulations may increase the likelihood for issuers to defer or omit distributions.

●

Credit and Subordination Risk. Credit risk is the risk that a preferred security in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in price or the issuer of the security will fail to make dividend, interest or principal payments when due because the issuer experiences a decline in its financial status. Preferred securities are generally subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure in terms of having priority to corporate income, claims to corporate assets and liquidation payments, and therefore will be subject to greater credit risk than more senior debt instruments.

●

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that preferred securities will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. When market interest rates rise, the market value of such securities generally will fall, and therefore the Fund may underperform during periods of rising interest rates. Interest rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy (or expectations that domestic or global economic policies will change). Preferred securities with longer periods before maturity may be more sensitive to interest rate changes.

●

Prepayment and Extension Risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that changes in interest rates, credit spreads or other factors will result in the call (repayment) of a preferred security more quickly than expected, such that the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, or that expectations of such early call will negatively impact the market price of the security. Extension risk is the risk that changes in the interest rates or credit spreads may result in diminishing call expectations, which can cause prices to fall.

●

Call, Reinvestment and Income Risk. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to redeem its issue at par earlier than scheduled which is generally known as call risk. Recent regulatory changes may increase call risk with respect to certain types of preferred securities. If this occurs, the Fund may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. This is known as reinvestment risk. Preferred securities frequently have call features that allow the issuer to repurchase the security prior to its stated maturity. An issuer may redeem preferred securities if the issuer can refinance the preferred securities at a lower cost due to declining interest rates or an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer, or in the event of regulatory changes affecting the capital treatment of a security. Another risk associated with a declining interest rate environment is that the income from the Fund’s portfolio may decline over time when the Fund invests the proceeds from new share sales at market rates that are below the portfolio’s current earnings rate.

●

Liquidity Risk. Certain preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks or U.S. government securities. Illiquid securities involve the risk that the securities will not be able to be sold at the time desired by the Fund or at prices approximating the value at which the Fund is carrying the securities on its books. During periods of high volatility, the Fund may experience increased redemptions, requiring it to liquidate securities when it is difficult to do so.

●

Limited Voting Rights Risk. Generally, traditional preferred securities offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer unless preferred dividends have been in arrears for a specified number of periods, at which time the preferred security holders may elect a number of directors to the issuer’s board of directors. Generally, once all the arrearages have been paid, the preferred security holders no longer have voting rights. Hybrid-preferred security holders generally have no voting rights.

●

Special Redemption Rights. In certain varying circumstances, an issuer of preferred securities may redeem the securities prior to a specified date. For instance, for certain types of preferred securities, a redemption may be triggered by a change in U.S. federal income tax or securities laws. As with call provisions, a redemption by the issuer may have a negative impact on the return of the security held by the Fund. See “Call, Reinvestment and Income Risk” above and “Regulatory Risk” below.

●

New Types of Securities. From time to time, preferred securities, including hybrid-preferred securities, have been, and may in the future be, offered having features other than those described herein. The Fund reserves the right to invest in these securities if the Advisor believes that doing so would be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Since the market for these instruments would be new, the Fund may have difficulty disposing of them at a suitable price and time. In addition to limited liquidity, these instruments may present other risks, such as high price volatility.

Active Management Risk

Non-Diversification Risk

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk

Geopolitical events, such as war (including ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), terrorist attacks, natural or environmental disasters (including hurricanes, wildfires and flooding), country instability, public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers and other governmental trade or market control programs, the potential exit of a country from its respective union and related geopolitical events, have led and may in the future lead to market volatility and may have long-lasting impacts on U.S. and global economies and financial markets. Supply chain disruptions or significant changes in the supply or prices of commodities or other economic inputs may have material and unexpected effects on both global securities markets and individual countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries. Events occurring in one region of the world may negatively impact industries and regions that are not otherwise directly impacted by the events. Additionally, those events, as well as other changes in foreign and domestic political and economic conditions, could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, secondary trading, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments.

These risks also may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms, and exchanges, with which the Fund interacts. There can be no certainty that any actions taken by the U.S. government to strengthen public confidence in the U.S. banking system or financial markets will be effective in mitigating the effects of financial institution failures on the economy and restoring or maintaining public confidence. In addition, raising the U.S. Government debt ceiling has become increasingly politicized. Any failure to increase the total amount that the U.S. Government is authorized to borrow could lead to a default on U.S. Government obligations. A default or a threat of default by the U.S. Government would be highly disruptive to the U.S. and global securities markets and could significantly reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.

The rapid development and increasingly widespread use and regulation of AI Technologies may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the rapid advanced development of AI Technologies and efforts to regulate or control its use and advancement may have significant positive or negative impacts on a wide range of different industries and the global economy. It is not possible to predict which companies, sectors, or economies may benefit or be disadvantaged by such developments, or is it possible to determine the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.

Regulatory Risk

Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants’ ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.

as decarbonization legislation, other mandatory controls to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, or related disclosure requirements) could significantly affect the Fund or its investments by, among other things, increasing compliance costs or underlying companies’ operating costs and capital expenditures. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.

Cyber Security Risk

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund and its service providers (including the Advisor) may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website or company system, misappropriating or releasing confidential information without authorization, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets and causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the Advisor, or a custodian, transfer agent, or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, affect the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential Fund information, impede trading, cause reputational damage, and subject the Fund to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and additional compliance costs. Furthermore, as a result of breaches in cyber security or other operational and technology disruptions or failures, an exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities or an entire market, which may result in a Fund being, among other things, unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments or unable to accurately price its investments. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect and prevent cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Similar types of cyber security risks also are present for issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the Fund’s investment in such securities to lose value.

Shareholder Concentration Risk

and redemption decisions that have a significant impact on the assets, expenses and trading activities of the Fund. Such a decision may cause the Fund to sell assets (or invest cash) at disadvantageous times or prices, increase or accelerate taxable income and/or gains or transaction costs and may negatively affect the Fund’s NAV, performance, or ability to satisfy redemptions in a timely manner. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. The Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation of large redemptions, diluting its investment returns. A number of circumstances may cause a Fund to experience large redemptions, such as changes in investors’ circumstances; changes in the eligibility criteria for a Fund or share class of the Fund; liquidations, reorganizations, repositionings, or other announced Fund events; or changes in investment objectives, strategies, policies, risks, or investment personnel.

Other Investment Companies Risk

To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds’ portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the 1940 Act may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired.

Additional Investment Information

In addition to the principal investment strategies described above, the Fund has other investment practices that are described here and in the SAI. These investment practices may subject the Fund to additional risks. Please review this section and the SAI for more information about the additional investment practices and their associated risks.

Illiquid Securities

Illiquid investments are generally investments that a fund cannot reasonably expect to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven (7) calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the instrument. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Restricted securities, which are securities that may not be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, or, if they are unregistered, may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an exemption from registration, may be illiquid. Such investments may include private investments in public equity and real estate private placements.

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to assess and manage its liquidity risk. Under its program, the Fund is required to classify its investments into specific liquidity categories and monitor compliance with limits on investments in illiquid securities. While the liquidity risk management program attempts to assess and manage liquidity risk, there is no guarantee it will be effective in its operation, and it will not reduce the liquidity risk inherent in the Fund’s investments.

Defensive Position

When the Advisor believes that market or general economic conditions justify a temporary defensive position, the Fund may deviate from its investment objective and invest all or any portion of its assets in short-term debt instruments, government securities, cash or cash equivalents. When and to the extent the Fund assumes a temporary defensive position, it may not pursue or achieve its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be required to hold more cash than anticipated to support its derivative positions, which could have a negative impact on returns.

Portfolio Holdings

A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s SAI. The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT, which is available to the public within 60 days after the end of the quarter. The Fund’s Form N-PORT is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 800-330-7348 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s full portfolio holdings are published semi-annually in reports filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR and such reports are made available at www.cohenandsteers.com/fund-literature generally within 70 days after the end of each semi-annual period. The Fund also posts an uncertified list of portfolio holdings on the website, no earlier than 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The holdings information remains available until the Fund files a publicly available report on Form N-PORT or Form N-CSR for the period that includes the date as of which the information is current. In addition to information on portfolio holdings, other Fund statistical information may be found on www.cohenandsteers.com or by calling 800-330-7348.

Management of the Fund

The Advisor

The Advisor, a registered investment advisor located at 1166 Avenue of the Americas, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10036, was formed in 1986 and its clients include pension plans, endowment funds and investment companies, including each of the open-end and closed-end Cohen & Steers funds. As of March 31, 2025, the Advisor managed approximately $87.6 billion in assets. The Advisor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cohen & Steers, Inc. (“CNS”), a publicly traded company whose common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “CNS.”

Under its investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Fund, the Advisor furnishes a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio, makes the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund and generally manages the Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Board of Directors of the Fund. The Advisor also performs certain administrative services for the Fund and provides persons

satisfactory to the Board of Directors of the Fund to serve as officers of the Fund. Such officers, as well as certain Directors of the Fund, may also be directors, officers, or employees of the Advisor. The Advisor also selects brokers and dealers to execute the Fund’s portfolio transactions.

For its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor a monthly investment advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund up to $8.5 billion and 0.70% of such assets in excess of $8.5 billion. This fee is allocated among the separate classes based on each class’s proportionate shares of such average daily net assets. The Fund’s effective investment advisory fee during 2024 was 0.71% of average daily net assets.

In addition to this investment advisory fee, the Fund pays other operating expenses, which may include but are not limited to administrative, transfer agency, custodial, legal and accounting fees. The Fund pays the Advisor, which also serves as the Fund’s administrator, a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.04% of the average daily net assets for administration services. The Fund’s co-administrator, State Street Bank and Trust Company, also performs certain administrative services for the Fund.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses through June 30, 2026 so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.15% for Class A shares, 1.80% for Class C shares, 0.80% for Class F shares, 0.88% for Class I shares, 0.88% for Class L shares, 1.30% for Class R shares and 0.80% for Class Z shares. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund’s Board of Directors and the Advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Fund.

A discussion regarding the Board of Directors’ basis for approving the Investment Advisory Agreement is available in the Fund’s N-CSR Filing for the period ended June 30, 2024.

The SAI contains additional information about the portfolio managers’ compensation, other accounts they manage, and their ownership of securities in the Fund.

Pricing of Fund Shares

The price at which you can purchase and redeem each class of the Fund’s shares is the NAV of that class of shares next determined after we receive your order in proper form, less any applicable sales charge.

Proper form means that your request includes the Fund name and account number, states the amount of the transaction (in dollars or shares), includes the signatures of all owners exactly as registered on the account, signature guarantees (if necessary), any supporting legal documentation that may be required and any outstanding certificates representing shares to be redeemed.

The Fund calculates its NAV per share as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Thus, purchase or redemption orders must be received in proper form by the close of regular trading on the NYSE in order to receive that day’s NAV; orders received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE will receive the NAV next determined. The Fund has authorized one or more brokers to accept on its behalf purchase and redemption orders, and these brokers are authorized to designate other intermediaries on the Fund’s behalf. The Fund will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized broker, or that broker’s designee, accepts the order, and that order will be priced at the next computed NAV after this acceptance. The Fund determines NAV per share for each class by dividing that class’s share of the net assets of the Fund (i.e., its assets less liabilities) by the total number of outstanding shares of that class.

Investments in securities that are listed on the 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 an exchange are valued at their settlement price at the close of trading on their primary exchange. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at the prevailing forward exchange rate. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse. OTC interest rate swaps are valued utilizing quotes received from a third-party pricing service. Exchange-traded options are valued at their last sale price as of the close of options trading on applicable exchanges on the valuation date. In the absence of a last sale price on such day, options are valued at the average of the quoted bid and ask prices as of the close of business. OTC options are valued based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service or counterparty.

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 non-U.S. equity holdings may be fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Directors as described below.

Readily marketable securities traded in the OTC market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by the Advisor to be OTC, are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the Advisor, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair value of such securities.

Fixed-income securities are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the Advisor, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair value of such securities. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity

exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features which are then used to calculate the fair values.

The Board of Directors has designated the Advisor as the Fund’s “Valuation Designee” under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As Valuation Designee, the Advisor is authorized to make fair valuation determinations, 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 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 non-U.S. equity holdings 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 NAV of Fund shares to differ from the NAV 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.

Short-term debt securities, which have a maturity date of 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV.

Since the Fund may hold securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of securities held in the Fund may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem Fund shares.

The Fund does not accept investments from investors with non-U.S. addresses and dealer controlled accounts designated as foreign accounts (“Restricted Accounts”). Existing Restricted Accounts can remain in the Fund, but are prohibited from making further investments. U.S. Armed Forces and Diplomatic post office addresses abroad are treated as U.S. addresses and can invest in the Fund. Addresses in U.S. territories, such as Guam and Puerto Rico, are also treated as U.S. addresses and can invest in the Fund.

The Fund reserves the right to reject or cancel any purchase order and to withdraw or suspend the offering of shares at any time. In addition, the Fund reserves the right to waive or change its minimum investment requirements.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. In some cases, federal law also requires us to verify and record information that identifies the natural persons who control and beneficially own a legal entity that opens an account. When you open an account, the Fund may request additional information to verify your identity including: names, addresses, dates of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you and certain other natural persons associated with the account. For some legal entity accounts, you will be asked to provide identifying information for one natural person that controls the entity, and for each natural person that beneficially owns 25% or more of the legal entity.

The Fund is also required to obtain information that identifies each authorized signer for an account by requesting the name, residential address, date of birth and social security number for each of your authorized signers.

If you do not provide this information or if such information cannot be verified, we reserve the right to close your account to the extent required or permitted by applicable law or regulations. If the NAV per share of the Fund has decreased since your purchase, you may lose money as a result of this account closure. You may also incur any applicable sales charge.

The following pages will cover additional details of each share class, including the sales charge tables for Class A shares, reduced sales charge information, Class C share CDSC information, Class F, Class I, Class L, Class R and Class Z information, and sales charge waivers.
Different financial intermediaries may impose different sales charges. Information on reducing your initial sales charge is available from your financial intermediary, in the Appendix to this Prospectus and in the SAI.
More information about existing sales charge reductions and waivers is available free of charge in a clear and prominent format at www.cohenandsteers.com, in the Appendix to this Prospectus and in the SAI, which is available on the website or upon request.

Except as otherwise noted, Class C shares will automatically convert into Class A shares on a monthly basis approximately eight years after the original date of purchase.

Class A Shares

Types of Shareholders Qualified to Purchase

Class A shares are generally available through financial intermediaries.

Initial Sales Charges

The following initial sales charges apply to Class A shares:

	SALES CHARGE AS A PERCENTAGE OF
INVESTMENT AMOUNT	OFFERING PRICE*	NET AMOUNT INVESTED
Less than $100,000	4.50 %	4.71 %
$100,000 but less than $250,000	3.75 %	3.90 %
$250,000 but less than $500,000	2.75 %	2.83 %
$500,000 but less than $1 million	2.00 %	2.04 %
$1 million or more	None	None

“Offering Price” is the amount you actually pay for Fund shares; it includes the initial sales charge.

The initial sales charge does not apply to shares that are purchased with reinvested dividends or other distributions.

CDSC

None, but if you invest $1,000,000 or more in Class A shares and sell those shares on or before the one year anniversary date of their purchase, you may pay a charge equal to 1% of the lesser of the current NAV or the original cost of the shares that you sell.

Reducing Your Initial Sales Charge

As demonstrated in the table above, the size of your investment in Class A shares will affect the initial sales charge that you pay. The Fund offers certain methods, which are described below, that you can use to reduce the initial sales charge. Additional information on reducing your initial sales charge is available from your financial intermediary and in the Appendix to this Prospectus and in the SAI.

Aggregating Accounts

The size of the total investment applies to the total amount being invested by any person, which includes:

●

you, your spouse and children under the age of 21;

●

a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing for a single trust, estate or single fiduciary account although more than one beneficiary is involved; and

●

any U.S. bank or investment advisor purchasing shares for its investment advisory clients.

Rights of Accumulation

A person (defined above) may take into account not only the amount being invested, but also the current NAV of the shares of the Fund and Class A and Class C shares of other Cohen & Steers open-end mutual funds (collectively, the “Eligible Funds” and individually, an “Eligible Fund”) already held by such person in order to reduce the sales charge on the new purchase.

To be entitled to a reduced sales charge pursuant to the Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”), you must notify the Fund, your dealer or other financial intermediary at the time of purchase, and give information related to the other account(s).

Letter of Intention

You may reduce your Class A sales charge by establishing a letter of intention. A letter of intention allows a person (defined above) to aggregate purchases of shares of the Fund and other Eligible Funds during a 13-month period in order to reduce the sales charge. All shares of the Fund and other Eligible Funds currently owned will be credited as purchases toward completion of the letter at the greater of their NAV on the date the letter is executed or their cost. You should retain any records necessary to substantiate cost basis because the Fund, SS&C GIDS, Inc., the Fund’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), or your dealer or financial intermediary may not maintain this information for periods prior to January 1, 2012. See “Additional Information—Tax Considerations.” Capital appreciation and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions do not count toward the required purchase amount during this 13-month period.

The letter is not a binding obligation. However, 5% of the amount specified in the letter will be held in escrow, and if your purchases are less than the amount specified, the Fund will request that you remit the amount equal to the difference between the sales charge paid and the sales charge applicable to the aggregate purchases actually made. If this amount is not remitted within 20 days after written request, an appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed in order to realize the difference. However, the sales charge applicable to the investment will in no event be higher than if you had not submitted a letter. Please note that no retroactive adjustment will be made if purchases exceed the amount indicated in the letter.

At the time of your purchase, you must inform the Fund, your dealer or other financial intermediary of any other investment in the Fund or in other Eligible Funds that would count toward reducing your sales charge. This includes, for example, investments held in a retirement account, an employee benefit plan, or at a dealer or other financial intermediary other than the one handling your current purchase. In addition, you may be asked to provide supporting account statements or other information to allow us to verify your eligibility for a discount. If you do not let the Fund, your dealer or other financial intermediary know that you are eligible for a discount, you may not receive the discount to which you are otherwise entitled.

You may obtain more information about sales charge reductions and waivers from www.cohenandsteers.com, the Appendix to this Prospectus, the SAI or your dealer or financial intermediary.

Sales at Net Asset Value

Class A shares of the Fund may be sold at NAV (i.e., without a sales charge) to certain investors without regard to investment amount, including investment advisors and financial planners who place trades for their own accounts or the accounts of their clients and who charge a management, consulting or other fee for their services, and through certain types of investment programs, including no-load networks, platforms or self-directed investment brokerage accounts offered by financial services firms that may or may not charge transaction fees to their clients, that have entered into an agreement with the Distributor to offer Class A shares without a sales charge. IRAs are not eligible to purchase Class A shares at NAV. For more information see the Appendix in this Prospectus and “Sales at Net Asset Value” in the SAI.

Dealer Commission

The Distributor may pay dealers a commission of up to 1% on investments of $1 million or more in Class A shares.

Reinstatement Privilege

If you redeem your Class A shares and then decide to reinvest in Class A shares of the Fund or another Eligible Fund, you have a one-time option to, within 120 calendar days of the date of your redemption, use all or any part of the proceeds of the redemption to reinstate, free of an initial sales charge, all or any part of your investment in Class A shares of the Fund. If you redeem your Class A shares and your redemption was subject to a CDSC, you may reinstate all or any part of your investment in Class A shares within 120 calendar days of the date of your redemption and receive a credit for the applicable CDSC that you paid. Your investment will be reinstated at the NAV per share next determined after we receive your request. The Transfer Agent must be informed that your new purchase represents a reinstated investment. Reinstated shares must be registered exactly and be of the same class as the shares previously redeemed, and the Fund’s minimum initial investment amount must be met at the time of reinstatement. For the purposes of the CDSC schedule, the holding period will continue as if the Class A shares had not been redeemed. The ability of a shareholder to utilize the reinstatement privilege is subject to the Fund’s right to reject any purchase or exchange order if it believes such shareholder is engaged in, or has engaged in, market timing or other abusive trading practices. In the event that the Fund rejects an exchange request, neither the redemption nor purchase will be processed. Should an exchange request be rejected, you should submit separate redemption and purchase orders rather than placing an exchange order.

Class C Shares

Types of Shareholders Qualified to Purchase

Class C shares are generally available through financial intermediaries.

Initial Sales Charges

There is no initial sales charge for Class C shares.

CDSC

You may pay a charge equal to 1% of the lesser of the current NAV of your shares or their original cost if you sell your shares on or before the one-year anniversary date of their purchase. The Fund’s Distributor collects and retains any applicable CDSC paid. Information on any applicable sales charge discounts is available from your financial intermediary, in the Appendix to this Prospectus and in the section in the SAI titled “Contingent Deferred Sales Charges.”

Dealer Commission

At the time of the initial sale of Class C shares, the Distributor generally pays a financial intermediary from its own resources an upfront commission of 1% of the amount invested. This amount represents a prepayment of the first year’s distribution and shareholder services fees. In the first year following the initial sale, the Fund pays the distribution and shareholder services fees to the Distributor as reimbursement for the Distributor’s upfront commission. If you redeem your Class C shares on or before the one-year anniversary date of their purchase, you will pay a 1% CDSC. In the first year, the

payment of a CDSC may result in the Distributor receiving amounts greater or less than the upfront commission paid to the financial intermediary. For Class C shares held over a year, the Fund pays the distribution and shareholder services fees to the Distributor, who is responsible for paying financial intermediaries. Please see the “Additional Information—Distribution Plan” and “Additional Information—Shareholder Services Plan” sections of the Prospectus for additional information.

Automatic Conversion of Class C Shares

Except as otherwise noted, Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares on a monthly basis approximately eight years after the original date of purchase (the “Conversion Date”), thus reducing future annual expenses. Conversions will take place based on the relative NAV of the two classes, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. Automatic conversions of Class C shares to Class A shares are expected to constitute a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes.

Class C shares acquired through a reinvestment of dividends and distributions will automatically convert to Class A shares on the Conversion Date for the Class C shares with respect to which they were acquired.

For Class C shares held through a financial intermediary, it is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to ensure that the investor is credited with the proper holding period. Due to operational limitations at your financial intermediary, your ability to have your Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares may be limited. For example, the automatic conversion of Class C shares to Class A shares may not apply to shares held through group retirement plan recordkeeping platforms of certain broker-dealer intermediaries who hold such shares with the Fund in an omnibus account and do not track participant-level share lot aging to facilitate such a conversion.

The Fund has no responsibility for monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for conversion. A financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control accounts, programs or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or different eligibility requirements for the exchange of Class C shares for Class A shares, as set forth in the Appendix to this Prospectus. In these cases, Class C shareholders may have their shares exchanged for Class A shares under the policies of the financial intermediary. Financial intermediaries will be responsible for making such exchanges in those circumstances. Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding the conversion of your Class C shares to Class A shares.

class F shares

Types of Shareholders Qualified to Purchase

Class F shares are currently not available for purchase. When made available, Class F shares are expected to be available for purchase by financial intermediaries permitted, by contract with the Distributor, to offer shares where neither the investor nor the intermediary will receive any commission payments, account servicing fees, record keeping fees, 12b-1 fees, sub-transfer agent fees, so called “finder’s fees,” administration fees or similar fees with respect to Class F shares. Class F shares are not available for purchase by retirement plans.

Purchases Through Dealers and Intermediaries

You may purchase the Fund’s shares through authorized dealers and other financial intermediaries.

Financial service firms that do not have a sales agreement with the Distributor also may place orders for purchases of the Fund’s shares, but may charge you a transaction fee in addition to any applicable initial sales charge.

Dealers and financial service firms are responsible for promptly transmitting purchase orders to the Distributor. These dealers and financial service firms may also impose charges for handling transactions placed through them that are in addition to the sales charges or any other charges described in this Prospectus. Such charges may include processing or service fees, which are typically fixed dollar amounts. You should contact your dealer or financial service firm for more information about any additional charges that may apply.

Additional Information on Purchase of Fund Shares

Dealer Compensation

Dealers will be paid a commission when you buy shares and may also be compensated through the distribution and service fees paid by the Fund. In addition, dealers may charge fees for administrative

and other services that such dealers provide to Fund shareholders. These fees may be paid by the Advisor (or an affiliate) out of its own resources and/or by the Fund pursuant to a networking, sub-transfer agency or other arrangements. See “Additional Information—Shareholder Services Plan” and “Additional Information—Networking and Sub-Transfer Agency Fees.”

A Note on Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

For purposes of determining the CDSC, if you sell only some of your shares, shares that are not subject to any CDSC will be sold first (e.g., shares acquired through reinvestment of distributions and shares held longer than the required holding period), followed by shares that you have owned the longest. All CDSCs will be waived on redemptions of shares following the death or disability of a shareholder or to meet the requirements of certain qualified retirement plans. See the SAI for more information.

Automatic Investment Plan and Purchases by ACH

The Fund’s automatic investment plan (the “Plan”) provides a convenient way to invest in the Fund. Under the Plan, you can have money transferred automatically from your checking account to the Fund each month to buy additional shares. If you are interested in this Plan, please refer to the automatic investment plan section of the Subscription Agreement attached to this Prospectus or contact your dealer. The market value of the Fund’s shares may fluctuate, and a systematic investment plan such as this will not assure a profit or protect against a loss. You may discontinue the Plan at any time by notifying the Fund by mail or telephone at the address or number on the back cover of this Prospectus.

You may purchase additional shares of the Fund by automated clearing house (“ACH”). To elect the Auto-Buy option, select it on your Subscription Agreement attached to this Prospectus or call the Transfer Agent and request an optional shareholder services form. ACH is similar to the Plan, except that you may choose the date on which you want to make the purchase. We will need a voided check or deposit slip before you may purchase by ACH. If you are interested in this option, please call (800) 437-9912.

The Plan and purchases by ACH may not be available to customers of certain financial intermediaries. Please contact your dealer or financial service firm for more information.

Exchange Privilege

You may exchange or convert some or all of your Fund shares for shares of other Cohen & Steers open-end mutual funds, provided that you meet applicable investment minimums and subject to the conditions below. The Fund allows you to exchange between share classes that impose a sales charge without paying a sales charge at the time of the exchange. Shares you acquire as part of an exchange will continue to be subject to any CDSC that applies to the shares you originally purchased. In computing the holding period for the purpose of the CDSC, the length of time you have owned your shares will be measured from the date of original purchase and will not be affected by the permitted exchange.

You may, under certain circumstances, exchange Class I shares or shares of the Cohen & Steers no-load funds for shares that are subject to a sales charge.

You may, under certain circumstances, exchange or convert Fund shares for a different class of shares of the same Fund, and move shares held in certain types of accounts to a different type of account or to a new account maintained by a financial intermediary. You are generally not permitted to exchange

into or out of Class F, Class R and Class Z shares. You may exchange Class R and Class Z shares of one Cohen & Steers open-end mutual fund for Class R and Class Z shares of another Cohen & Steers open-end mutual fund or for Class I shares of the same Fund or of a different Cohen & Steers open-end mutual fund, provided that you otherwise meet the requirements for investing in Class I (including the investment minimum). To qualify for a potential exchange, you must be eligible to purchase the class of shares you wish to exchange into (including satisfying any applicable investment minimum) and, if you invest in the Fund through an intermediary, your intermediary must have an arrangement with the Distributor to offer such class. No sales charges or other charges will apply to any such exchange.

Class A shares held in certain fee-based advisory program (“Advisory Program”) accounts may be converted to Class I shares if such Advisory Program had previously offered only Class A shares and now offers only Class I shares. In addition, a shareholder holding Class A or Class C shares through a brokerage account may also convert its Class A or Class C shares to Class I shares if such shareholder transfers its Class A or Class C shares to an account within an Advisory Program that offers only Class I shares. Such conversions will be on the basis of the relative NAV per share, without requiring any investment minimum to be met and without the imposition of any other charge on the conversion. In such situations, any applicable CDSC that would typically be incurred on a conversion may be waived at the discretion of the Distributor. Any sales charge or fees paid by a shareholder on the initial purchase or during the holding period of such shares will not be reimbursed upon conversion. The Fund reserves the right to allow additional conversions at its sole discretion. Contact your financial consultant, financial intermediary or institution for more information.

For federal income tax purposes, a same-fund share class exchange or conversion is not expected to result in the realization by the investor of a capital gain or loss; however, shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund. In addition, shareholders are advised to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to any tax consequences to them relating to an exchange of Fund shares for shares of a different Cohen & Steers fund. Please speak with your financial intermediary or tax advisor if you have any questions.

An exchange of shares for shares of another fund may result in you realizing a taxable gain or loss for income tax purposes. See “Additional Information—Tax Considerations.” The exchange privilege is available to shareholders residing in any state in which the shares being acquired may be legally sold. Before you exercise the exchange privilege, you should read the prospectus of the fund whose shares you are acquiring, and all exchanges are subject to any other limits on sales for or exchanges into that fund. Certain dealers and other financial intermediaries may limit or prohibit your right to use the exchange privilege and may charge you a fee for exchange transactions placed through them.

We have adopted reasonable procedures that are designed to ensure that any telephonic exchange instructions are genuine. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for any loss or expenses if we act in accordance with these procedures. We may modify or suspend telephone privileges without notice during periods of drastic economic or market changes. We may modify or revoke the exchange privilege for all shareholders upon 60 days’ prior written notice and this privilege may be revoked immediately with respect to any shareholder if the Fund believes the shareholder is engaged in, or has engaged in, market timing or other abusive trading practices. For additional information concerning exchanges, or to make an exchange, please call the Transfer Agent at (800) 437-9912.

How to Sell Fund Shares

You may sell or redeem your shares through authorized dealers, or other financial intermediaries or through the Transfer Agent. If your shares are held by your dealer or intermediary in “street name,” you must redeem your shares through that dealer or intermediary.

Redemptions Through Dealers and Other Intermediaries

If you have an account with an authorized dealer or other intermediary, you may submit a redemption request to such dealer or intermediary. They are responsible for promptly transmitting redemption requests to the Distributor. Dealers and intermediaries may impose charges for handling redemption transactions placed through them that are in addition to the sales charges or any other charges described in this Prospectus. Such charges may include processing or service fees, which are typically fixed dollar amounts. You should contact your dealer or intermediary for more information about any additional charges that may apply.

Redemption By Telephone

To redeem shares by telephone, call the Transfer Agent at (800) 437-9912. In order to be honored at that day’s price, we must receive any telephone redemption requests by the close of regular trading on the NYSE that day, generally 4:00 p.m., eastern time. Orders received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE will receive the NAV next determined.

If you would like to change your telephone redemption instructions, you must send the Transfer Agent written notification signed by all of the account’s registered owners, accompanied by signature guarantee(s), as described below.

We may modify or suspend telephone redemption privileges without notice during periods of drastic economic or market changes. We have adopted reasonable procedures that are designed to ensure that any telephonic redemption instructions are genuine. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for any loss or expenses if we act in accordance with these procedures. We may modify or terminate the telephone redemption privilege at any time on 30 days’ notice to shareholders.

Redemption By Mail

You can redeem Fund shares by sending a written request for redemption to the Transfer Agent:

SS&C GIDS, Inc.
P.O. Box 219953
Kansas City, MO 64121-9953
Attn: Cohen & Steers Realty Shares, Inc.

A written redemption request must:

●

state the number of shares or dollar amount to be redeemed;

●

identify your account number and tax identification number; and

●

be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are registered.

If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the certificate must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by a duly executed stock power) and must be submitted to the Transfer Agent together with a redemption request.

For redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators or guardians, the Transfer Agent may require additional supporting documents evidencing the authority of the person making the redemption (including evidence of appointment or incumbency). For additional information regarding the specific documentation required, contact the Transfer Agent at (800) 437-9912.

The Transfer Agent will not consider your redemption request to be properly made until it receives all required documentation in proper form.

Other Redemption Information

Payment of Redemption Proceeds

Except as noted below, the Fund normally sends redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders by mailing a check or via electronic transfer ACH within five business days after a redemption request is received in good order. Redemptions by wire will normally be sent within two business days. Regardless of the methods used to pay redemption proceeds, there may be instances where payments may take up to seven calendar days. When proceeds of redemptions are to be paid to someone other than the shareholder, either by wire or check, you must send a letter of instruction and the signature(s) on the letter of instruction must be guaranteed, as described below, regardless of the amount of the redemption. The Fund will delay the payment of redemption proceeds, however, if the check used to purchase the shares to be redeemed has not cleared, which may take up to 15 days or more. The Fund may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment if trading is halted or restricted on the NYSE or under other emergency conditions, including as determined by the SEC or as permitted by the 1940 Act.

The Fund may establish policies permitting the Fund’s transfer agent to place a temporary hold for up to 25 business days on the disbursement of redemption proceeds from an account held directly with the Fund if the transfer agent reasonably believes that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. “Specified Adult” refers to an individual who is a natural person (i) age 65 and older, or (ii) age 18 and older and whom the Fund’s transfer agent reasonably believes has a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests. The transfer agent and/or the Fund may not be aware of factors suggesting financial exploitation of a Specified Adult and may not be able to identify Specified Adults in all circumstances. Furthermore, neither the transfer agent nor the fund is required to delay the disbursement of redemption proceeds and nor do they assume any obligation to do so.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to meet redemption requests by check, ACH or wire, as described above, through the sale of readily marketable portfolio securities or using cash on hand. The Fund may also meet all or a portion of your redemption proceeds with readily marketable portfolio securities of the Fund transferred into your name (“in-kind”) in the following circumstances: (i) if the Advisor believes that stressed economic conditions exist or (ii) if the Advisor otherwise determines that meeting redemption requests by selling portfolio securities or using cash on hand would be detrimental to the best interests of the Fund and remaining shareholders. In-kind redemptions generally, but not necessarily, result in a pro rata distribution of each security held in a Fund’s portfolio. The securities distributed in an in-kind redemption will be valued in the same manner as they are valued for purposes of computing the Fund’s NAV. For shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) or other tax-advantaged plans, redemptions are generally a taxable event

for shareholders, regardless of whether the redemption is satisfied in cash or in-kind. The securities distributed are subject to market risk until they are sold and may increase or decrease in value prior to converting them into cash. You may incur brokerage and other transaction costs, and could incur a taxable gain or loss for income tax purposes when converting the securities to cash. The Fund has elected, however, to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, as a result of which the Fund is obligated to redeem shares, with respect to any one shareholder during any 90-day period, solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Fund’s NAV at the beginning of the period.

Cost Basis Reporting

Upon the redemption or exchange of your shares in the Fund, the Fund or, if you purchase your shares through a financial intermediary, your financial intermediary will be required to provide you and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) with cost basis and certain other related tax information about the Fund shares you redeemed or exchanged. This cost basis reporting requirement is effective for shares purchased, including through dividend reinvestment, on or after January 1, 2012. Please see the Subscription Agreement or consult your financial intermediary, as appropriate, for more information regarding available methods for cost basis reporting and how to select or change a particular method. Please consult your tax advisor to determine which available cost basis method is best for you.

Signature Guarantee

You may need to have your signature guaranteed (STAMP 2000 Medallion) in certain situations, such as:

●

sending written requests to wire redemption proceeds (if not previously authorized on the Subscription Agreement);

●

sending redemption proceeds to any person, address or bank account not on record; and

●

transferring redemption proceeds to a Cohen & Steers fund account with a different registration (name/ownership) from yours.

You can obtain a signature guarantee from most banks, savings institutions, broker-dealers and other guarantors acceptable to the Fund. The Fund cannot accept guarantees from notaries public or organizations that do not provide reimbursement in the case of fraud. A medallion signature guarantee may be waived in certain limited circumstances. A Signature Validation Program stamp may be accepted for certain non-financial shareholder account changes.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan

Shareholders may redeem their shares through a Systematic Withdrawal Plan (“SWP”). Under the SWP, shareholders or their financial intermediaries may request that a payment drawn in a predetermined amount be sent to them on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. If you elect this method of redemption, the Fund will send a check directly to your address of record or will send the payment directly to your bank account via electronic funds transfer through the ACH network. For payment through the ACH network, your bank must be an ACH member and your bank account information must be previously established on your account. For additional information on the SWP, please contact the Transfer Agent at (800) 437-9912. The SWP may be terminated at any time by the Fund.

Redemption of Small Accounts

If your Fund account value falls below $250 as the result of any voluntary redemption, we may redeem your remaining shares. We will, however, give you 30 days’ notice of our intention to do so. During

this 30-day notice period, you may make additional investments to increase your account value above the minimum purchase amount and avoid having the Fund automatically liquidate your account.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares

The Fund is designed for long-term investors. Excessive trading, short-term market timing or other abusive trading practices may disrupt portfolio management strategies and harm portfolio performance. For example, in order to handle large flows of cash into and out of the Fund, a portfolio manager may need to allocate more assets to cash or other short-term investments or sell securities. Transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions and market spreads, can detract from the Fund’s performance. Additionally, excessive trading is a concern for the Fund because the Fund’s portfolio will have foreign securities and therefore could be subject to time-zone arbitrage.

Because of potential harm to the Fund and its long-term investors, the Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted policies and procedures to discourage and prevent excessive trading and short-term market timing. As part of these policies and procedures, the Advisor monitors purchase, exchange and redemption activity in Fund shares. The intent is not to inhibit legitimate strategies such as asset allocation, dollar cost averaging or similar activities that may nonetheless result in frequent trading of the Fund’s shares. Under these procedures, the Fund generally prohibits more than two purchases and sales or exchanges of its shares within a 60 day calendar year period.

The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive: (i) transfers associated with systematic purchases or redemptions; (ii) transactions through firm- sponsored, discretionary asset allocation or wrap programs; and (iii) transactions subject to the trading policy of an intermediary that the Fund deems materially similar to the Fund’s policy.

If, based on these procedures, the Advisor determines that a shareholder is engaged in, or has engaged in, market timing or excessive trading, we may place a temporary or permanent block on all further purchases or exchanges of Fund shares.

Multiple accounts under common ownership or control may be considered one account for the purpose of determining a pattern of excessive trading, short-term market timing or other abusive trading practices.

The Fund will also utilize fair value pricing in an effort to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders.

Due to the complexity involved in identifying excessive trading and market timing activity, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will be able to identify and restrict such activity in all cases. Additionally, it is more difficult for the Fund to monitor the trading activity of beneficial owners of Fund shares who hold those shares through third-party 401(k) and other group retirement plans and other omnibus arrangements maintained by broker/dealers and other intermediaries. Omnibus account arrangements permit multiple investors to aggregate their respective share ownership positions and purchase, redeem and exchange Fund shares in a single account.

In certain circumstances the Fund may accept frequent trading restrictions of intermediaries that differ from the Fund’s policies. Since such intermediaries execute or administer transactions with many fund families, it may be impractical for them to enforce a particular fund’s frequent trading or exchange policy. These alternate trading restrictions would be authorized only if the Fund believes that the

alternate restrictions would provide reasonable protection to the Fund and its shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to prohibit any purchase, sale or exchange of its shares that the Fund believes may be disruptive to the Fund or its long-term investors.

Additional Information

Distribution Plan (Class A, Class C and Class R Shares Only)

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (a “Distribution Plan”) which allows the Fund to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its shares. Under the Distribution Plan, the Fund may pay the Distributor a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

The Distributor uses the amounts received under the Distribution Plan for payments to qualifying dealers for their assistance in the distribution of the Fund’s shares and for other expenses such as advertising costs and the payment for the printing and distribution of Prospectuses to prospective investors. In addition, with respect to Class R shares, such amounts may also be used to pay for services to Fund shareholders or services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Although the Distributor may retain a portion of the distribution fee, payments received under the Distribution Plan will not be used to pay any interest expenses, carrying charges or other financing costs or allocation of overhead of the Distributor. The Distributor and/or the Advisor bears distribution expenses to the extent they are not covered by payments under the Distribution Plan. Any distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor in the current fiscal year of the Fund, which are not reimbursed from payments under the Distribution Plan accrued in the current fiscal year, will not be carried over for payment under the Distribution Plan in any subsequent year.

Shareholder Services Plan (Class A, Class C, Class I and Class L Shares Only)

The Fund has also adopted a shareholder services plan, pursuant to which the Fund pays the Distributor a service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.10%, 0.25%, 0.10% and 0.10% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class I and Class L shares, respectively. Under this plan, the Fund or the Distributor may enter into agreements with qualified financial institutions to provide these shareholder services, and the Distributor is responsible for payment to the financial institutions. Services provided may include customer service and account maintenance, and may vary based on the services offered by your financial institution and the class of shares in which you invest. You should contact your financial institution about services offered and which share class is best for you.

Networking and Sub-Transfer Agency Fees

The Fund and/or the Distributor may also enter into agreements with financial intermediaries pursuant to which the Fund will pay financial intermediaries for services such as networking or sub-transfer agency. Payments made pursuant to such agreements are generally based on either (1) a

percentage of the average daily net assets of Fund shareholders serviced by such financial intermediaries, or (2) per account fee based on the number of Fund shareholders serviced by such financial intermediaries. Currently, any payments made pursuant to such an agreement are paid under the shareholder services plan described above. From time to time, the Advisor may pay a portion of the fees for networking or sub-transfer agency services at its own expense and out of its own profits.

Other Compensation

The Advisor and the Distributor may make payments from their own resources to dealers and other financial intermediaries for distribution, administrative or other services. These payments may be significant to the dealers and the financial intermediaries, and may create an incentive for a dealer or financial intermediary or their representatives to recommend or sell shares of a particular fund or share class over other mutual funds or share classes. Additionally, these payments may result in the Fund receiving certain marketing or servicing advantages that are not generally available to mutual funds that do not make such payments, including placement on a sales list, such as a preferred or select sales list, or in other sales programs. These payments, which are in addition to any amounts you may pay your dealer or other financial intermediary, create potential conflicts of interest between an investor and a dealer or other financial intermediary who is recommending a particular mutual fund over other mutual funds. Please contact your dealer or intermediary for details about payments it may receive. For further details, please consult the SAI.

Dividends and Distributions

The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends from its investment income quarterly. The Fund intends to distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least once each year, normally in December. The Transfer Agent will automatically reinvest your dividends and distributions in additional shares of the Fund unless you elected to have them paid to you in cash. If you elect to have dividends and distributions paid in cash and a dividend or distribution check mailed to you is returned as undeliverable or is not presented for payment within six months, the Transfer Agent will reinvest the dividend or distribution in additional shares of the Fund promptly and the check will be canceled. In addition, future dividends and distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund unless you contact the Fund or Transfer Agent and request to receive distributions by check.

Tax Considerations

The following tax discussion offers only a brief outline of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, does not address any non-U.S., state or local tax consequences, and is based on the federal tax laws in effect on the date hereof. Such tax laws are subject to change by legislative, judicial or administrative action, possibly with retroactive effect. Further, this discussion does not address tax consequences to specific types of shareholders such as tax-advantaged retirement plans or non-U.S. shareholders (defined below). In the SAI, we have provided more detailed information regarding the tax consequences of investing in the Fund. Investors should consult their own tax advisors for more detailed information and for information regarding the impact of state, local and non-U.S. taxes on an investment in the Fund.

Dividends paid to you out of the Fund’s investment income will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Taxes on distributions of capital gains are determined by how long the Fund owned or is considered to have

owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long you have owned your shares. Distributions from the sale of investments that the Fund owned for more than one year and that are properly reported by the Fund as capital gain dividends are taxable to you as long-term capital gains includible in net capital gain and taxed to individuals at reduced rates. Distributions from the sale of investments that the Fund owned for one year or less are taxable to you as ordinary income.

If a portion of the Fund’s income consists of dividends paid by U.S. corporations, a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund may be eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. In addition, distributions reported by the Fund as derived from QDI will be taxed in the hands of individuals at the reduced rates applicable to net capital gain, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met by both the shareholder and the Fund. Dividend income that the Fund receives from U.S. REITs will generally not be treated as QDI and will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction. The Fund cannot predict at this time what portion, if any, of its dividends will qualify for the corporate dividends-received deduction or be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation applicable to QDI.

Unless extended by Congress, this deduction for “qualified REIT dividends” will not be available for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025 and thereafter such dividends would be taxed in the same manner as other dividends, as discussed in this prospectus. Until the end of 2025, qualified REIT dividends are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers. Qualified REIT dividends are dividends received from REITs that are neither capital gain dividends nor are eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income, and with respect to which the REIT shareholder meets certain other requirements. The Fund is permitted to pass through qualified REIT dividends to its shareholders, provided the shareholders meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to their shares.

A 3.8% Medicare contribution tax is imposed on the net investment income of certain individuals, trusts and estates to the extent their income exceeds certain threshold amounts. Net investment income generally includes for this purpose dividends paid by the Fund, including any capital gain dividends, and net gains recognized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of shares of the Fund. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this additional tax on their investment in the Fund.

Because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties may exceed its taxable income. The REIT, and in turn the Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.

The tax treatment of your dividends and distributions will be the same regardless of whether they were paid to you in cash or reinvested in additional Fund shares. If you buy shares of the Fund when the Fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be “buying a dividend” by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion back in the form of a taxable distribution.

A distribution will be treated as paid to you on December 31 of the current calendar year if it is declared by the Fund in October, November or December with a record date in such a month and paid during January of the following year.

Each year, we will notify you of the tax status of dividends and other distributions.

The Fund has elected to be treated as, and intends to qualify each year to be treated as, a RIC under U.S. federal income tax law. In order to qualify and be treated as a RIC, the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) and meet requirements with respect to diversification of assets and distribution of income and gains. If the Fund does so, the Fund generally will not be required to pay federal income taxes on any income it timely distributes to shareholders. If the Fund were to fail to meet any one of these requirements, the Fund could in some cases cure such failure, including by paying a Fund-level tax, paying interest, making additional distributions, or disposing of certain assets. If the Fund were ineligible to or otherwise did not cure such failure for any year, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income and net capital gains at corporate rates, and all distributions from earnings and profits, including any distributions of net tax-exempt income and net long-term capital gains, would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

Certain of the Fund’s investments, including investments in certain debt instruments, could affect the amount, timing and character of distributions you receive and could cause the Fund to recognize taxable income in excess of the cash generated by such investments, which may require the Fund to liquidate other investments (including when it is not advantageous to do so) to meet its distribution requirements or otherwise qualify for treatment as a RIC.

If you sell or otherwise dispose of your Fund shares, including by exchanging them for shares of another Cohen & Steers open-end mutual fund, you will generally realize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between your adjusted tax basis in the shares and the amount received. Gain or loss, if any, recognized by a shareholder on a sale or other taxable disposition of Fund shares generally will be taxed as long-term capital gain or loss, if the shareholder held the shares for more than one year, and as short-term capital gain or loss, if the shareholder held the shares for one year or less, assuming in each case that the shareholder held the shares as capital assets. Short-term capital gains generally are taxed to individuals at the rates applicable to ordinary income. Any loss realized upon a disposition of shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term, rather than short-term, capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received by the shareholder with respect to the shares. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Additionally, any loss realized on a sale or other disposition of shares of a Fund may be disallowed under “wash sale” rules to the extent the shares disposed of are replaced with other shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of disposition, including pursuant to a dividend reinvestment in shares of the Fund. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an adjustment to the basis of the shares acquired.

We may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax on all taxable distributions and redemption proceeds payable if you:

●

fail to provide us with your correct taxpayer identification number;

●

fail to make required certifications; or

●

have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding.

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the financial performance of the Fund’s Class A, C, I, L, R and Z shares, each for the fiscal years shown below. Because Class F shares are currently not available for purchase and have therefore not commenced investment operations, financial highlights are not yet available for this share class. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). These financial highlights have been derived from financial statements audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, whose report, along with the Fund’s audited financial statements, is included in the Fund’s current annual report, which is available free of charge upon request or by visiting www.cohenandsteers.com.

The following tables include selected data for a share outstanding throughout each year and other performance information derived from the financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto.

APPENDIX TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED May 1, 2025 OF Cohen & Steers Realty Shares, Inc.

APPENDIX: SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS AVAILABLE THROUGH CERTAIN INTERMEDIARIES

The information in this Appendix is a part of, and incorporated into, the Prospectus for your Fund, and must be delivered with the Prospectus.

The Fund offers a number of ways to reduce or eliminate the initial sales charge on Class A shares, which are set forth in the Prospectus. The Prospectus also sets forth certain circumstances under which the Fund allows Class A shares to be sold at net asset value or will waive or reduce the sales charge imposed on purchases or redemptions of Class A or Class C shares. The availability of the sales charge reductions and waivers discussed in the Prospectus will depend upon whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. Certain intermediaries may have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of sales charge reductions or waivers, which are set forth below. In all instances, it is the investor’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the investor’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for any sales charge waivers or discounts. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.

EDWARD D. JONES & CO. (“EDWARD JONES”)

Policies Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones

The following information has been provided by Edward Jones:

Effective on or after August 29, 2024, the following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of Cohen & Steers mutual funds, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.

BREAKPOINTS

●

Breakpoint pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION (“ROA”)

●

The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of Cohen & Steers mutual funds held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.

●

The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.

●

ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).

LETTER OF INTENT (“LOI”)

●

Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

●

If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA account associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

SALES CHARGE WAIVERS

Sales charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following situations:

●

Associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate’s life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones’ policies and procedures.

Federal law requires mutual fund companies to report cost basis information to shareholders and to the IRS on mutual fund shares acquired and subsequently redeemed after December 31, 2011 (“covered shares”). In order to provide you and the IRS with accurate cost basis accounting, you are being asked to select a cost basis method to be applied to your covered shares.

Please consult your tax adviser to determine which method best suits your individual tax situation.

If you do not elect a method, the Fund default method of Average Cost will apply until it is either revoked or changed by you.

Please check one of the following available cost basis methods:

☐ Average Cost (ACST) — The purchase price of all shares in the account are averaged

☐ First In, First Out (FIFO) — Depletes shares beginning with the earliest acquisition date

☐ Last In, First Out (LIFO) — Depletes shares beginning with the most recent acquisition date

☐ Low Cost (LOFO) — Depletes shares beginning with the least expensive shares

☐ Loss/Gain Utilization (LGUT) — Depletes shares with losses prior to shares with gains and short-term shares prior to long-term shares

☐ Specific Lot Identification — Depletes shares according to the lots chosen by the shareholder at the time of each redemption. If you choose this method, you will need to select a secondary cost basis method to be used for systematic redemptions in cases where the lots you designate are insufficient or unavailable. Please check one of the following:

☐ First In, First Out (FIFO)

☐ Last In, First Out (LIFO)

☐ High Cost (HIFO)
