Cohen & Steers UTF Discloses October Distribution Sources

Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund, Inc. (NYSE: UTF) has issued a required disclosure to shareholders detailing the sources behind its distribution scheduled for payment on October 30, 2026, in accordance with Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act.

The New York-based closed-end fund is obligated under federal securities regulations to notify investors when a distribution includes components sourced from capital gains, return of capital, or other non-income streams, rather than solely from net investment income. Such transparency requirements are designed to help investors accurately assess the nature of the cash they receive.
