Cohen & Steers FOF Discloses October Distribution Sources

Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NYSE: FOF) has issued a Section 19(a) notification informing shareholders of the sources behind its upcoming distribution scheduled for payment on October 30, 2026, the New York-based fund manager announced Monday.
