Insights on Distributions
Funds like Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund, along with others, have established regular monthly cash distributions to common shareholders. The level rate of these distributions can be adjusted based on financial conditions and net investment income. It’s important to note that such adjustments can include net realized capital gains and possible returns on capital.
Return of capital refers to distributions that exceed net investment income, provided from the fund's resources. This characteristic may affect tax liabilities for investors.
Managed Distribution Policies
Funds like the Cohen & Steers Closed-End Opportunity Fund, Inc. have implemented managed distribution plans. These policies, under the Securities and Exchange Commission's guidelines, allow funds to distribute long-term capital gains more regularly, which ultimately benefits shareholders.
Furthermore, each month before the payout, the funds will issue notices detailing the distribution amount and its sources. This information serves as guidance for shareholders but isn't used for tax reporting.
Tax Considerations for Shareholders
Shareholders should be informed that their tax returns must reflect the information provided via Form 1099-DIV, which outlines how to report the distributions for federal income tax purposes. Investors are advised to consult their advisors before making any decisions based on this information.
