The decision has received unanimous approval from the Fund's Board of Directors and signifies Cohen & Steers’ recognition of the growing demand for flexibility and transparency in investment products among investors.
The transformation aims to provide shareholders with improved trading flexibility, clearer insights into portfolio holdings, and greater tax efficiency.
