To Our Shareholders:

We would like to share with you our report for the six months ended April 30, 2023. The total returns for Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund (the Fund) and its comparative benchmarks were:


	Six Months Ended April 30, 2023
Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund at Net Asset Value^a		–1.03	%
Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund at Market Value^a		1.59	%
ICE BofA 7% Constrained DRD Eligible Preferred Securities Index^b		3.52	%
Blended Benchmark—50% ICE BofA 7% Constrained DRD Eligible Preferred Securities Index/35% ICE BofA U.S. IG Institutional Capital Securities Index/15% Bloomberg Developed Market USD Contingent Capital Index^b		3.48	%
Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index^b		6.91	%

The performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, if sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current total returns of the Fund can be obtained by visiting our website at cohenandsteers.com. The Fund’s returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan. Index performance does not reflect the deduction of any fees, taxes or expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year are not annualized.

The Fund expects to make regular monthly distributions at a level rate (the Policy). Distributions paid by the Fund are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes and are taxable up to the amount of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains. As a result of the Policy, the Fund may pay distributions in excess of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains. This excess would be a return of capital distributed from the Fund’s assets. Distributions of capital decrease the Fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s expense ratio. In addition, in order to make these distributions, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.

^a	As a closed-end investment company, the price of the Fund’s exchange-traded shares will be set by market forces and can deviate from the net asset value (NAV) per share of the Fund.

Market Review

The six months ended April 30, 2023, were generally favorable for financial markets. Prior concerns regarding central banks tightening monetary policy gave way to a more optimistic tone in the fall of 2022 as inflation slowed, raising expectations that the steepest rate-hiking cycle in more than 40 years could soon draw to a close.

While short-term interest rates climbed as the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank continued to raise their key lending rates, fixed income asset classes generally advanced as longer-term interest rates declined. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield, which peaked around 4.25% in late October, settled at 3.44%. However, preferred securities came under selling pressure in the first quarter of 2023 due to concerns in the banking sector (as banks are the predominant issuer of preferred securities).

A meaningful performance divergence occurred within the preferreds market: U.S. investment-grade preferreds generated a healthy 6.6% total return, while contingent capital securities (CoCos, issued primarily by European banks) returned –4.2%. Preferred securities overall rose but underperformed longer-term U.S. Treasuries, investment-grade corporates and high-yield bonds.

Fund Performance

Based on market price, the Fund had a positive return in the period but underperformed its blended benchmark. On a NAV basis, the portfolio had a negative total return and underperformed the blended benchmark.

In the U.S., the sudden collapses of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank in March raised concerns about contagion risk. The banks had a preponderance of uninsured deposits and/or significant exposure to depositors in the technology sector that faced cash flow challenges. The banks could not raise capital amid substantial deposit outflows, which forced regulators to intervene. On May 1, First Republic Bank was placed into receivership despite a group of larger banks previously funneling $30 billion into the institution; its assets were sold to JPMorgan Chase.

Regulators took swift action to stem contagion risk. The Fed established an emergency lending program, accepting as collateral U.S. Treasuries and certain other high-quality securities at par value—even if the securities have been marked down. The Fed and other central banks also assured that funding would remain readily available in the global banking system. The FDIC said it would fully guarantee depositors in the failed banks, even above the normal $250,000 threshold. Liquidity concerns continued to ease on healthy first-quarter earnings and other reports showing stabilizing deposit funding. Asset quality remained near a historically high level, although banks did increase reserves in preparation for higher capital requirements (given recent events) and macro uncertainty.

The Fund’s security selection in U.S. bank preferreds was the most significant detractor from relative performance during the period. Out‑of‑index positions in issues from SVB and Signature Bank primarily drove this underperformance. However, the Fund’s underweight allocation in U.S. banks partially offset the adverse security selection in the sector.

In Europe, struggling Credit Suisse was acquired by rival UBS in March. In brokering the deal, the Swiss government took the unusual step of completely writing down the nominal value ($17 billion) of all

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

Credit Suisse Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds, also known as CoCos, which added to pressures in the preferred securities market. (Subsequently, with the AT1 bonds written down before the common equity, lawsuits have been filed, and a secondary market for ownership claims has arisen, which may allow for a partial recovery of the preferreds’ value.)

Credit Suisse was a clear outlier among European banks; although it appeared to be on the mend, the company had made material management missteps in recent years that left it weakened and unprofitable. Other European banks are not faced with the vulnerabilities that plagued Credit Suisse. Overall, the sector displays the best profitability dynamics seen in years. Moreover, bank loans in Europe tend to be floating rate and/or shorter duration—unlike in the U.S., where loans are fixed and long—so loan yields do a better job keeping up with deposit yields. On the deposit side, European bank deposits tend to be stickier, and the money market fund industry is not as developed. Additionally, regulators elsewhere in Europe reassured markets that their actions in circumstances similar to those of Credit Suisse, should they arise, would be guided by an established framework in which “common equity instruments are the first ones to absorb losses, and only after their full use would Additional Tier 1 be required to be written down.”

The Fund’s overweight allocation in non‑U.S. banks, which trailed the benchmark, detracted from relative performance.

The insurance sector performed well in the period. Property & casualty insurance companies enjoyed significant premium growth given the recovering economy, and life insurers benefited from the declining impact of Covid. However, the Fund’s security selection and underweight allocation in the sector detracted from relative performance. Detractors included a pair of low‑liquidity, out‑of‑index issues from a life insurer that were pressured on no real news and having no investment in certain long-duration securities that outperformed. Security selection in the finance sector hindered relative performance, partly due to an underweight allocation in a long-duration issue from American Express that rose meaningfully.

The pipeline sector outperformed, as company cash flows continued to improve, buoyed by recovering demand and high crude oil and refined product prices. Security selection in pipelines detracted from relative performance. However, a favorable overweight allocation in the sector largely offset this negative.

Utilities, a capital-intensive sector, benefited from falling long-term interest rates, strong earnings results, and a heightened investor focus on balance sheet quality. The Fund’s security selection and overweight allocation to the sector aided relative performance, partly due to well-performing out‑of‑benchmark positions from European and U.S. issuers. The portfolio’s overweight allocation in the real estate sector also contributed to relative returns, although this was partially offset by adverse security selection in the sector.

Impact of Leverage on Fund Performance

The Fund employs leverage as part of an effort to enhance yield. Leverage can increase total return in rising markets, just as it can have the opposite effect in declining markets. The Fund reduced its use of leverage during the period. Nevertheless, leverage significantly detracted from the Fund’s performance for the six months ended April 30, 2023.

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

Impact of Derivatives on Fund Performance

The Fund used derivatives in the form of forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage currency risk on certain Fund positions denominated in foreign currencies. The currency exchange contracts detracted significantly from the Fund’s total return for the six‑month period ended April 30, 2023.

The Fund also invested in binary options (currency and European index call options) with the intention of managing volatility in certain European holdings. The binary options did not have a material impact on the Fund’s total return for the six months ended April 30, 2023.

In connection with its use of leverage, the Fund pays interest on a portion of its borrowings based on a floating rate under the terms of its credit agreement. To reduce the impact that an increase in interest rates could have on the performance of the Fund with respect to these borrowings, the Fund used interest rate swaps to exchange a portion of the floating rate for a fixed rate. In addition, the Fund used total return swap contracts to manage credit risk. The Fund’s use of interest rate swaps detracted significantly from the Fund’s total return for the six months ended April 30, 2023, while the total return swaps had no impact.

Sincerely,



WILLIAM F. SCAPELL Portfolio Manager		ELAINE ZAHARIS-NIKAS Portfolio Manager

Our Leverage Strategy

(Unaudited)

Our current leverage strategy utilizes borrowings up to the maximum permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 to provide additional capital for the Fund, with an objective of increasing net income available for shareholders. As of April 30, 2023 leverage represented 36% of the Fund’s managed assets.

Through a combination of variable rate financing and interest rate swaps, the Fund has locked in interest rates on a significant portion of this additional capital through 2027 (where we effectively reduce our variable rate obligation and lock in our fixed rate obligation over various terms). Locking in a significant portion of our leveraging costs is designed to protect the dividend-paying ability of the Fund. The use of leverage increases the volatility of the Fund’s NAV in both up and down markets. However, we believe that locking in portions of the Fund’s leveraging costs for the various terms partially protects the Fund’s expenses from an increase in short-term interest rates.

Leverage Facts^a,b


Leverage (as a % of managed assets)		36%
% Variable Rate Financing		3%
Variable Rate		5.6%
% Fixed Rate Financing^c		97%
Weighted Average Rate on Fixed Financing		1.2%
Weighted Average Term on Fixed Financing		3.0 years

The Fund seeks to enhance its dividend yield through leverage. The use of leverage is a speculative technique and there are special risks and costs associated with leverage. The NAV of the Fund’s shares may be reduced by the issuance and ongoing costs of leverage. So long as the Fund is able to invest in securities that produce an investment yield that is greater than the total cost of leverage, the leverage strategy will produce higher current net investment income for shareholders. On the other hand, to the extent that the total cost of leverage exceeds the incremental income gained from employing such leverage, shareholders would realize lower net investment income. In addition to the impact on net income, the use of leverage will have an effect of magnifying capital appreciation or depreciation for shareholders. Specifically, in an up market, leverage will typically generate greater capital appreciation than if the Fund were not employing leverage. Conversely, in down markets, the use of leverage will generally result in greater capital depreciation than if the Fund had been unlevered. To the extent that the Fund is required or elects to reduce its leverage, the Fund may need to liquidate investments, including under adverse economic conditions which may result in capital losses potentially reducing returns to shareholders. There can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Cohen & Steers Tax‑Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund, a Maryland statutory trust (the Fund), was organized on November 14, 2019, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a non‑diversified, closed‑end management statutory trust. The Fund’s primary investment objective is high current income. The Fund’s secondary investment objective is capital appreciation. Investment operations commenced on October 28, 2020.

The Fund has a limited term and intends to terminate as of the first business day following the twelfth anniversary of the effective date of the Fund’s initial registration statement, which the Fund expects to occur on or about October 27, 2032 (the Dissolution Date); provided that the Fund’s Board of Trustees may, by a vote of the majority of the Board of Trustees and seventy-five percent (75%) of the members of the Board of Trustees of who either (i) have been a member of the Board of Trustees for a period of at least thirty‑six months (or since the commencement of the Fund’s operations, if less than thirty‑six months) or (ii) were nominated to serve as a member of the Board of Trustees by a majority of the Continuing Trustees then members of the Board of Trustees (a Board Action Vote), without shareholder approval, extend the Dissolution Date (i) once for up to one year, and (ii) once for up to an additional one year, to a date up to and including two years after the initial Dissolution Date, which later date shall then become the Dissolution Date.

As of a date within twelve months preceding the Dissolution Date, the Board of Trustees may, by a Board Action Vote, cause the Fund to conduct a tender offer to common shareholders to purchase 100% of the then outstanding common shares of the Fund at a price equal to the net asset value (NAV) per common share on the expiration date of the tender offer (an Eligible Tender Offer). In an Eligible Tender Offer, the Fund will offer to purchase all common shares held by each common shareholder; provided that if the number of properly tendered common shares would result in the Fund having aggregate net assets below $200 million (the Dissolution Threshold), the Eligible Tender Offer will be canceled, no common shares will be repurchased pursuant to the Eligible Tender Offer, and the Fund will terminate as otherwise scheduled. Following the completion of an Eligible Tender Offer, the Board of Trustees may, by a Board Action Vote, eliminate the Dissolution Date without shareholder approval and cause the Fund to have a perpetual existence.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946—Investment Companies. The accounting policies of the Fund are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Portfolio Valuation: Investments in securities that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (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

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

available, at the bid price. Forward foreign currency exchange 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. 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 based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service. Over‑the‑counter (OTC) option and total return swap contracts 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 (including NASDAQ) 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 established by the Board of Trustees.

Readily marketable securities traded in the over‑the‑counter (OTC) market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by the investment manager 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 investment manager, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Trustees, 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 investment manager, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Trustees, 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.

Short-term debt securities with 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.

The policies and procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees delegate authority to make fair value determinations to the investment manager, subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees. The investment manager 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 Trustees. 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.

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Securities for which market prices are unavailable, or securities for which the investment manager 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 Trustees. 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.

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.

Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would expect to receive upon the sale of an investment or expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. The hierarchy of inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments is summarized below.

•

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

•

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments may or may not be an indication of the risk associated with those investments. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex‑dividend date, except for certain dividends on foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex‑dividend date. Distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as ordinary income, net realized capital gain or return of capital based on information reported by the REITs and management’s estimates of such amounts based on historical information. These estimates are adjusted when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the REITs and actual amounts may differ from the estimated amounts.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign currency transaction gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, (excluding gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are presented separately, if any), currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, on the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign currency gains/losses included in realized and unrealized gains/losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with certain of its non‑U.S. dollar denominated securities. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment between two parties to purchase or sell foreign currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed are included in net realized gain or loss on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. For federal income tax purposes, the Fund has made an election to treat gains and losses from forward foreign currency exchange contracts as capital gains and losses.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the contract. Risks may also arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. In connection with these contracts, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts.

Option Contracts: The Fund may purchase and write exchange-listed and OTC put or call options on securities, stock indices and other financial instruments for hedging purposes, to enhance portfolio returns and/or reduce overall volatility.

When the Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked‑to‑market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When an option expires, the Fund realizes a gain on the option to the extent of the premium received. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security purchased by the Fund. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds of the security sold to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying investment. Other risks include the possibility of an illiquid options market or the inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.

Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss when the underlying transaction is executed. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.

Binary Option Contracts: The Fund may write or purchase binary options, which are options in which the payout depends on whether the price of a particular asset will rise above or fall below a specified level. When the binary option expires the buyer receives either a pre‑determined amount of cash or nothing at all.

At April 30, 2023, the Fund did not have any binary option contracts outstanding.

Over-the-Counter Total Return Swap Contracts: In a total return swap, one party receives a periodic payment equal to the total return of a specified security, basket of securities, index, or other reference asset for a specified period of time. In return, the other party receives a fixed or variable stream of payments, typically based upon short-term interest rates, possibly plus or minus an agreed upon spread. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. The Fund bears the risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risks may also arise from unanticipated movements in the value of exchange rates, interest rates, securities, index, or other reference asset.

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Centrally Cleared Interest Rate Swap Contracts: The Fund uses interest rate swaps in connection with borrowing under its revolving credit agreement. The interest rate swaps are intended to reduce interest rate risk by countering the effect that an increase in short-term interest rates could have on the performance of the Fund’s shares as a result of the floating rate structure of interest owed pursuant to the revolving credit agreement. When entering into interest rate swaps, the Fund agrees to pay the other party to the interest rate swap (which is known as the counterparty) a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty’s agreement to pay the Fund a variable rate payment that was intended to approximate the Fund’s variable rate payment obligation on the revolving credit agreement. The payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap. Depending on the state of interest rates in general, the use of interest rate swaps could enhance or harm the overall performance of the Fund. Swaps are marked‑to‑market daily and changes in the value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

Immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral pledged for interest rate swap contracts. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on interest rate swap contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Any upfront payments paid or received upon entering into a swap agreement would be recorded as assets or liabilities, respectively, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Payments received from or paid to the counterparty during the term of the swap agreement, or at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.

Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk, and exposure to loss in excess of the related amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: The Fund makes regular monthly distributions pursuant to the Policy. Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are typically declared quarterly and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward, are typically distributed to shareholders at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex‑dividend date and are automatically reinvested in full and fractional shares of the Fund in accordance with the Fund’s Reinvestment Plan, unless the shareholder has elected to have them paid in cash. Dividends from net investment income are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes.

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Distributions Subsequent to April 30, 2023: The following distributions have been declared by the Fund’s Board of Trustees and are payable subsequent to the period end of this report.


Ex‑Date	Record Date	Payable Date	Amount
May 09, 2023	May 10, 2023	May 31, 2023	$0.134
June 13, 2023	June 14, 2023	June 30, 2023	$0.134

Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (RIC), if such qualification is in the best interest of the shareholders, by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs, and by distributing substantially all of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. Also, in order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, the Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Dividends and interest income from holdings in non‑U.S. securities are recorded net of non‑U.S. taxes paid. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and applicable state income tax returns as well as its tax positions in non‑U.S. jurisdictions in which it trades for the current tax year and has concluded that as of April 30, 2023, no additional provisions for income tax are required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s tax positions for the current tax year for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, state departments of revenue and by foreign tax authorities.

Note 2. Investment Management Fees, Administration Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Management Fees: Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment manager pursuant to an investment management agreement (the investment management agreement). Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the investment manager provides the Fund with day‑to‑day investment decisions and generally manages the Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees.

For the services provided to the Fund, the investment manager receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily managed assets of the Fund. Managed assets are equal to the Fund’s net assets, plus the principal amount of loans from financial institutions or debt securities issued by the Fund, the liquidation preference of preferred shares issued by the Fund, if any, and the proceeds of any reverse repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund, if any.

Administration Fees: The Fund has entered into an administration agreement with the investment manager under which the investment manager performs certain administrative functions for the Fund and receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.06% of the average daily managed assets of the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2023, the Fund incurred $531,315 in fees under this administration agreement. Additionally, the Fund pays State Street Bank and Trust Company as co‑administrator under a fund accounting and administration agreement.

Trustees’ and Officers’ Fees: Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or employees of the investment manager. The Fund does not pay compensation to trustees and officers affiliated with the investment manager except for the Chief Compliance Officer, who received compensation from the investment manager, which was reimbursed by the Fund, in the amount of $6,154 for the six months ended April 30, 2023.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

During the six months ended April 30, 2023 and the year ended October 31, 2022, the Fund did not effect any repurchases.

Note 7. Borrowings

The Fund has entered into a $720,000,000 revolving credit agreement (the credit agreement) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (State Street) whereby funds may be drawn in U.S. dollars, Euros and Great British Pounds (GBP), subject to certain limitations. Borrowings under the credit agreement, which are secured by certain assets of the Fund, bear interest based on currency-specific variable rates plus a margin. The Fund pays a monthly financing charge which is calculated based on the utilized portion of the credit agreement and a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)-based rate through June 28, 2022 and a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)-based rate effective June 29, 2022 pursuant to an amendment to the credit agreement. The Fund also pays a fee of 0.15% per annum on any unutilized portion of the credit agreement through June 28, 2022 and effective June 29, 2022, a fee of 0.15% per annum for each day in which the aggregate loans outstanding under the credit agreement total less than 80% of the credit agreement amount of $720,000,000. The credit agreement has a 360‑day evergreen provision whereby State Street may terminate this agreement upon 360 days’ notice, but the Fund may terminate on three business days’ notice to State Street. Securities held by the Fund are subject to a lien, granted to State Street, to the extent of the borrowing outstanding in connection with the Fund’s revolving credit agreement. If the Fund fails to meet certain requirements, or maintain other financial covenants required under the credit agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the credit agreement, necessitating the sale of portfolio securities at potentially inopportune times.

As of April 30, 2023, the Fund had outstanding borrowings of $601,472,760 at a current rate of 5.6% on $560,000,000 and 5.0% on $41,472,761 (drawn in GBP expressed in USD). The carrying value of the borrowings approximates fair value. The borrowings are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. During the six months ended April 30, 2023, the Fund borrowed an average daily balance of $663,803,191 ($623,784,530 and $40,018,661 drawn in USD and GBP, respectively) at a weighted average borrowing cost of 5.1%. During the six months ended April 30, 2023, the Fund had no outstanding borrowings in EUR.

Note 8. Other Risks

Risk of Market Price Discount from Net Asset Value: Shares of closed‑end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their NAV. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities and may be greater for investors expecting to sell their shares in a relatively short period following completion of this offering. Whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of the shares will depend not upon the Fund’s NAV but entirely upon whether the market price of the shares at the time of sale is above or below the investor’s purchase price for the shares. Because the market price of the shares will be determined by factors such as relative supply of and demand for shares in the market, general market and economic conditions, and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, Fund shares may trade at, above or below NAV, or at below or above the initial public offering price.

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Preferred Securities Risk: Preferred securities are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that a security 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 also subject to interest rate risk and may decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates than would normally be the case in an environment of low interest rates and the effect of potential government fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives. In addition, an issuer may be permitted to defer or omit distributions. Preferred securities are also generally subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to redeem (call) its issue at par earlier than scheduled, and the Fund may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Certain preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks. Generally, preferred security holders have no voting rights with respect to the issuing company unless certain events occur. Certain preferred securities may give the issuers special redemption rights allowing the securities to be redeemed prior to a specified date if certain events occur, such as changes to tax or securities laws.

Contingent Capital Securities Risk: Contingent capital securities (sometimes referred to as “CoCos”) are debt or preferred securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms of the security, for example, a mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances, such as the issuer’s capital ratio falling below a certain level. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor, hence worsening the investor’s standing in a bankruptcy. Some CoCos provide for a reduction in the value or principal amount of the security (potentially to zero) under such circumstances. In March 2023, a Swiss regulator required a write-down of outstanding CoCos to zero notwithstanding the fact that the equity shares continued to exist and have economic value. It is currently unclear whether regulators of issuers in other jurisdictions will take similar actions. Notwithstanding these risks, the Fund may continue to invest in CoCos issued by Swiss companies and by companies in other jurisdictions. In addition, most CoCos are considered to be high yield or “junk” securities and are therefore subject to the risks of investing in below investment-grade securities. Finally, CoCo issuers can, at their discretion, suspend dividend distributions on their CoCo securities and are more likely to do so in response to negative economic conditions and/or government regulation. Omitted distributions are typically non‑cumulative and will not be paid on a future date. Any omitted distribution may negatively impact the returns or distribution rate of the Fund.

Concentration Risk: Because the Fund invests at least 25% of its managed assets in the financials sector, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting this sector, such as changes in interest rates, loan concentration and competition. In addition, the Fund will also be subject to the risks of investing in the individual industries and securities that comprise the financials sector, including the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, utilities, pipelines, health care and telecommunications, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with these particular sectors and industries. These sectors and industries may be adversely affected by, among others, changes in government regulation, world events and economic conditions.

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Credit and Below-Investment-Grade Securities Risk: Preferred securities may be rated below investment grade or may be unrated. Below-investment-grade securities, or equivalent unrated securities, which are commonly known as “high-yield bonds” or “junk bonds,” generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade securities. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic conditions could disrupt the market for lower-rated securities, have an adverse impact on the value of those securities and adversely affect the ability of the issuers of those securities to repay principal and interest on those securities.

Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that particular investments of the Fund may become difficult to sell or purchase. The market for certain investments may become less liquid or illiquid due to adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or due to adverse market or economic conditions. In addition, dealer inventories of certain securities, which provide an indication of the ability of dealers to engage in “market making,” are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which has the potential to increase price volatility in the fixed income markets in which the Fund invests. Federal banking regulations may also cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of certain securities, which may further decrease the Fund’s ability to buy or sell such securities. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. Further, transactions in less liquid or illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.

Foreign (Non‑U.S.) Securities Risk: The Fund directly purchases securities of foreign issuers. Risks of investing in foreign securities include currency risks, future political and economic developments and possible imposition of foreign withholding taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities. 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. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Foreign Currency Risk: Although the Fund will report its NAV and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund’s investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Fund’s NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks, and such investments are subject to the risks described under “Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk” below.

Leverage Risk: The use of leverage is a speculative technique and there are special risks and costs associated with leverage. The NAV of the Fund’s shares may be reduced by the issuance and ongoing costs of leverage. So long as the Fund is able to invest in securities that produce an investment

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

yield that is greater than the total cost of leverage, the leverage strategy will produce higher current net investment income for the shareholders. On the other hand, to the extent that the total cost of leverage exceeds the incremental income gained from employing such leverage, shareholders would realize lower net investment income. In addition to the impact on net income, the use of leverage will have an effect of magnifying capital appreciation or depreciation for shareholders. Specifically, in an up market, leverage will typically generate greater capital appreciation than if the Fund were not employing leverage. Conversely, in down markets, the use of leverage will generally result in greater capital depreciation than if the Fund had been unlevered. To the extent that the Fund is required or elects to reduce its leverage, the Fund may need to liquidate investments, including under adverse economic conditions which may result in capital losses potentially reducing returns to shareholders. The use of leverage also results in the investment advisory fees payable to the investment advisor being higher than if the Fund did not use leverage and can increase operating costs, which may reduce total return. There can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed.

Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk: The Fund’s use of derivatives, including for the purpose of hedging interest rate or foreign currency risks, presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Among the risks presented are counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, OTC trading risk and tracking risk. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives.

Geopolitical Risk: Occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as war (including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine), terrorist attacks, natural or environmental disasters, country instability, infectious disease epidemics or pandemics, such as that caused by COVID‑19, 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, may result in 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.

Although the long-term economic fallout of COVID‑19 is difficult to predict, it has contributed to, and may continue to contribute to, market volatility, inflation and systemic economic weakness. COVID‑19 and efforts to contain its spread may also exacerbate other pre‑existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. In addition, the U.S. government and other central banks across Europe, Asia, and elsewhere announced and/or adopted economic relief packages in response to COVID‑19. The end of any such program could cause market downturns, disruptions and volatility, particularly if markets view the ending as premature. The COVID‑19 pandemic and its effects are

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

expected to continue, and therefore the economic outlook, particularly for certain industries and businesses, remains inherently uncertain.

On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) withdrew from the European Union (EU) (referred to as Brexit), commencing a transition period that ended on December 31, 2020. The EU‑UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, a bilateral trade and cooperation deal governing the future relationship between the UK and the EU (TCA), provisionally went into effect on January 1, 2021, and entered into force officially on May 1, 2021, but critical aspects of the relationship remain unresolved and subject to further negotiation and agreement. Brexit has resulted in volatility in European and global markets and could have negative long-term impacts on financial markets in the UK and throughout Europe. There is still considerable uncertainty relating to the potential consequences of the exit, how the negotiations for new trade agreements will be conducted, and whether the UK’s exit will increase the likelihood of other countries also departing the EU. During this period of uncertainty, the negative impact on the UK, European and broader global economies, could be significant, potentially resulting in increased market volatility and illiquidity, political, economic, and legal uncertainty, and lower economic growth for companies that rely significantly on Europe for their business activities and revenues.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine significantly amplifying 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. To the extent the Fund has exposure to the energy sector, the Fund may be especially susceptible to these risks. Furthermore, in March 2023, the shut-down of certain financial institutions raised economic concerns over disruption in the U.S. banking system. There can be no certainty that the actions taken by the U.S. government to strengthen public confidence in the U.S. banking system will be effective in mitigating the effects of financial institution failures on the economy and restoring public confidence in the U.S. banking system. These disruptions may also make it difficult to value the Fund’s portfolio investments and cause certain of the Fund’s investments to become illiquid. 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.

LIBOR Risk: Many financial instruments are tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies, or investment value. LIBOR is the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The Head of the UK Financial Conduct Authority the (FCA) and LIBOR’s administrator, ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA) ceased publication of most LIBOR settings at the end of 2021 and the IBA is expected to cease publication of a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings after June 30, 2023. In addition, global regulators have announced that, with limited exceptions, no new LIBOR-based contracts should be entered into after 2021. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies

COHEN & STEERS TAX-ADVANTAGED PREFERRED SECURITIES AND INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

(e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for U.S. dollar LIBOR and the Sterling Overnight Index Average Rate for GBP LIBOR). Other countries are introducing their own local-currency-denominated alternative reference rates for short-term lending and global consensus on alternative rates is lacking.

In March 2022, the U.S. federal government enacted the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the LIBOR Act) to establish a process for replacing LIBOR in certain existing contracts that do not already provide for the use of a clearly defined and practicable replacement benchmark rate as described in the LIBOR Act. Generally, for contracts that do not contain clear and practicable fallback provisions as described in the LIBOR Act, a benchmark replacement recommended by the Federal Reserve Board will effectively replace the U.S. dollar LIBOR benchmark after June 30, 2023. The recommended benchmark replacement will be based on SOFR, which is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and will include certain spread adjustments and benchmark replacement conforming changes. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that implements the LIBOR Act. The final rule restates safe harbor protections contained in the LIBOR Act for selection or use of the replacement benchmark rate selected by the Federal Reserve Board. Consistent with the LIBOR Act, the final rule is also intended to ensure that LIBOR contracts adopting a benchmark rate selected by the Federal Reserve Board will not be interrupted or terminated following LIBOR’s replacement.

The transition away from LIBOR may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that are tied to LIBOR, reduced values of, inaccurate valuations of, and miscalculations of payment amounts for LIBOR-related investments or investments in issuers that utilize LIBOR, increased difficulty in borrowing or refinancing and reduced effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting the Fund’s performance or NAV. In addition, any alternative reference rate may be a less effective substitute resulting in prolonged adverse market conditions for the Fund. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the cessation of LIBOR publications.

Regulatory Risk: The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the mutual fund industry in general. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) final rules, related requirements and amendments to modernize reporting and disclosure, along with other potential upcoming regulations, could, among other things, restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions, and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund. In addition to Rule 18f‑4, which governs the way derivatives are used by registered investment companies, the SEC, Congress, various exchanges and regulatory and self-regulatory authorities, both domestic and foreign, have undertaken reviews of the use of derivatives by registered investment companies, which could affect the nature and extent of instruments used by the Fund. 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.

Note 9. Other

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note 10. New Accounting Pronouncement

In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021‑01 (ASU 2021‑01), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. Additionally, in December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022‑06 (ASU 2022‑06), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”. ASU 2022‑06 and ASU 2021‑01 are updates to ASU 2020‑04, which is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, and the reference rate reform initiatives regulators have undertaken to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020‑04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020‑04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU 2021‑01 update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU 2022‑06 update extends the period of time preparers can use the reference rate reform relief guidance by two years. ASU 2022‑06 defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The amendments in these updates are effective immediately through December 31, 2024, for all entities. Management does not expect ASU 2021‑01 or ASU 2022‑06 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events and transactions occurring after April 30, 2023 through the date that the financial statements were issued, and has determined that no additional disclosure in the financial statements is required.

We urge shareholders who want to take advantage of this plan and whose shares are held in ‘Street Name’ to consult your broker as soon as possible to determine if you must change registration into your own name to participate.

OTHER INFORMATION

A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 866-227-0757, (ii) on our website at cohenandsteers.com or (iii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, the Fund’s proxy voting record for the most recent 12‑month period ended June 30 is available by August 31 of each year (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 866-227-0757 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Disclosures of the Fund’s complete holdings are required to be made monthly on Form N-PORT, with every third month made available to the public by the SEC 60 days after the end of the Fund’s fiscal quarter. The Fund’s Form N-PORT is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 866-227-0757 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Please note that distributions paid by the Fund to shareholders are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes and are taxable up to the amount of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains are a return of capital distributed from the Fund’s assets. To the extent this occurs, the Fund’s shareholders of record will be notified of the estimated amount of capital returned to shareholders for each such distribution and this information will also be available at cohenandsteers.com. The final tax treatment of all distributions is reported to shareholders on their 1099-DIV forms, which are mailed after the close of each calendar year. Distributions of capital decrease the Fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s expense ratio. In addition, in order to make these distributions, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.

Notice is hereby given in accordance with Rule 23c-1 under the 1940 Act that the Fund may purchase, from time to time, shares of its common stock in the open market.
