Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund Reports Distribution Sources

Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund (NYSE: RQI) has provided shareholders with details regarding the sources of its distribution scheduled for September 30, 2026, and cumulative distributions for the fiscal year to date. The fund operates under a managed distribution policy, implemented in December 2012, which aims to deliver the fund's long-term total return potential through regular monthly distributions.

The policy allows the fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and distribute them to shareholders monthly. The Board of Directors can amend or terminate this policy, which may affect the market price of the fund's shares. Monthly distributions can comprise net investment income, realized capital gains (both short-term and long-term), and/or return of capital for tax purposes.

A return of capital occurs when distributions exceed the fund's net investment income and net realized capital gains, effectively returning a portion of the shareholder's initial investment. This reduces the shareholder's cost basis in the fund and is not taxed directly. Distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs) held by the fund may later be reclassified as capital gains or return of capital based on REITs' year-end reporting.

The fund estimates the current monthly distribution to be $0.09 per share. Of this, net investment income accounts for 92.44% ($0.0832) and return of capital represents 4.89% ($0.0044). For the year-to-date total of $0.81 per share, long-term capital gains constitute 51.16% ($0.4144). Final tax reporting details will be provided on Form 1099-DIV after the calendar year concludes.
