Cohen & Steers Total Return Realty Fund Sets May 2026 Distribution Sources
The fund issued a required notice detailing the estimated sources of its May 29 distribution and year-to-date payments. The filing covers net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital components.
manilatimes.netCohen & Steers Total Return Realty Fund, Inc. (NYSE: RFI) released a Section 19(a) notice on May 27, 2026, providing shareholders with estimated sources for the distribution payable May 29, 2026. The notice also includes cumulative distribution figures for the fiscal year to date through May 31, 2026. All amounts are stated on a per-share basis.
The fund has operated under a managed distribution policy since December 2011 under Securities and Exchange Commission exemptive relief. The policy sets a fixed monthly distribution rate intended to deliver long-term total return. The Board of Directors may amend, terminate, or suspend the policy at any time.
Monthly distributions may consist of net investment income, short-term capital gains, long-term capital gains, or return of capital. Return of capital reduces a shareholder's tax basis and is not immediately taxable. Distributions from real estate investment trusts held by the fund may later be recharacterized as capital gains or return of capital after year-end reporting.
The final tax character of all 2026 distributions will be confirmed on Form 1099-DIV mailed after the calendar year closes.
