    To Our Shareholders:

    We would like to share with you our report for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The total returns for the Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) and its comparative benchmarks were:

    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. Performance results reflect the effects of leverage, resulting from borrowings under a credit agreement. 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.

    Managed Distribution Policy

    The Fund, acting in accordance with an exemptive order received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and with approval of its Board of Directors (the Board), adopted a managed distribution policy under which the Fund intends to include long-term capital gains, where applicable, as part of the regular monthly cash distributions to its shareholders (the Plan). The Plan gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis. In accordance with the Plan, the Fund currently distributes $0.136 per share on a monthly basis.

     

     
    (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.

    (b) 

    The FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs Index contains all tax-qualified REITs with more than 50% of total assets in qualifying real estate assets other than mortgages secured by real property that also meet minimum size and liquidity criteria. The ICE BofA Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index tracks the performance of fixed-rate U.S. dollar-denominated preferred securities issued in the U.S. domestic market. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 large-capitalization stocks that is frequently used as a general measure of U.S. stock market performance.

    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.

    Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Fund’s Plan. The Fund’s total return based on NAV is presented in the table above as well as in the Consolidated Financial Highlights table.

    The Plan provides that the Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to Fund shareholders; however, at this time, there are no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause the termination. The termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Fund’s stock is trading at or above NAV) or widening an existing trading discount.

    Market Review

    Real estate stocks had a modestly positive total return in the six months ended June 30, 2025, although they trailed broader equities. The period was characterized by heightened uncertainty around economic growth and inflation. President Trump initiated a trade war, announcing higher-than-anticipated tariffs in early April. The news initially weighed on financial markets, but subsequent statements from the Trump administration and trade partners’ willingness to reach compromises led to price rebounds.

    Bond yields, though volatile, moved lower as inflation concerns diminished. Although the U.S. Federal Reserve held its key lending rate steady throughout the period, it signaled that cuts were possible later in 2025. The European Central Bank steadily cut its main refinancing rate—from around 3% at the start of the year to 2.15%—due to declining inflation, slower growth in the region and uncertainty from U.S. tariffs.

    Despite a shifting macro backdrop, commercial real estate fundamentals remained generally healthy, with steady demand and limited new supply in most property sectors.

    Fund Performance

    The Fund had a positive total return in the period and outperformed its blended benchmark on both a NAV and market price basis.

    Returns varied widely by property type. Telecommunications was a top performer, with the typically interest-rate sensitive sector aided by a decline in bond yields. An improving leasing outlook for cell tower owners further supported performance. Health care landlords also outperformed, lifted on strong results from companies with senior housing businesses. The Fund’s overweight in telecommunication contributed positively to relative return, as did stock selection in health care, where an overweight in senior housing specialist Welltower had a sizable gain.

    Industrial REITs, which are among the companies most directly impacted by tariffs and any potential slowdown in trade, had a slight decline. Bellwether industrial landlord Prologis reported solid earnings but decided not to raise its outlook, citing a delay in decision activity from prospective tenants and lower-than-usual leasing volume. Stock selection in industrial hindered performance, due in part to an overweight in cold storage operator Americold Realty Trust, which fell as the company cut its earnings outlook amid volume concerns.

    Retail landlords had mixed returns. Shopping centers and regional malls declined as retail sales faltered in the second half of the period, with May retail sales coming in weaker than consensus expectations. Free-standing retail companies, which tend to be rate-sensitive due to having long leases, advanced amid the decline in bond yields. The Fund’s underweight in free standing detracted from performance, while an underweight in shopping centers contributed.

    Data center REITs struggled, reflecting weakness in shares of Equinix, which issued a soft five-year revenue outlook relative to expectations. Still, the company noted strong data center fundamentals and an expanding potential customer base. Stock selection in the sector helped relative performance due to an underweight in Equinix.

    Elsewhere of note in the Fund’s equity allocation, stock selection among specialty REITs hindered performance, due primarily to an overweight in Iron Mountain. The information and data storage company underperformed amid concerns that the U.S. government, under the new administration, may digitize some of its recordkeeping.

    Preferred securities had a positive total return in the period against a mostly supportive interest-rate environment. Within the group, the banking sector performed well against the backdrop of positive industry fundamentals and strong balance sheets. Banks’ asset quality remained in good shape. Security selection in banking contributed to relative performance; top contributors included out-of-benchmark issues from European banks that had sizable gains.

    As with banks, the insurance industry’s cash flows and asset quality remained healthy. However, issues in the sector modestly underperformed preferreds as a whole. The Fund’s security selection in insurance aided relative performance.

    Factors that detracted from relative performance in the Fund’s preferred allocation included an overweight in telecommunication services. The sector fell in the period despite the decline in bond yields. An underweight in the finance sector hindered performance as well.

    Impact of Leverage on Fund Performance

    The Fund employs leverage as part of a yield-enhancement strategy. Leverage, which can increase total return in rising markets (just as it can have the opposite effect in declining markets), contributed to the Fund’s performance for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

    Impact of Derivatives on Fund Performance

    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

    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    borrowings, the Fund used interest rate swaps to exchange a portion of the floating rate for a fixed rate. The Fund’s use of interest rate swaps did not have a material effect on the Fund’s total return for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

    The Fund engaged in the buying and selling of single stock options with the intention of enhancing current income. These contracts did not have a material impact on the Fund’s total return for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

    The Fund used total return swaps with the intention of managing credit risk. The total return swaps did not have a material impact on the Fund’s total return for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

    The Fund also used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage currency risk on certain Fund positions denominated in foreign currencies. The currency forwards detracted from the Fund’s total return for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

    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 June 30, 2025, leverage represented 31% 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 2028 (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.

    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.

    The Fund entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap contracts with interest receipts and payments commencing on September 15, 2025 (effective date).

The weighted average term on fixed financing includes the maturities of the forward-starting interest rate swaps.

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

    Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on March 25, 2003 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is high current income. The Fund’s secondary investment objective is capital appreciation.

    Cohen & Steers RNP Trust (the REIT Subsidiary), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the state of Maryland as a statutory trust on July 9, 2021 that commenced operations on November 30, 2021. The REIT Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Fund, consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies. The Fund expects that it will achieve a significant portion of its exposure to private real estate investments through investment in the REIT Subsidiary. The REIT Subsidiary may use wholly-owned, limited liability companies to contain the exposure of individual private real estate investments. Unlike the Fund, the REIT Subsidiary may invest without limitation in private real estate. Investments in the REIT Subsidiary are limited to 25% of the Fund’s total assets. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments includes positions of the Fund and the REIT Subsidiary. The financial statements have been consolidated and include the accounts of the Fund and the REIT Subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 available, at the bid price. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the prevailing forward exchange rate. 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) options 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 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 Directors.

    Readily marketable securities traded in the OTC market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (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 Directors, 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 Directors, 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 net asset value (NAV).

    The Fund utilizes an independent valuation services firm (the Independent Valuation Advisor) to assist the investment manager in the determination of the Fund’s fair value of private real estate investments held by the REIT Subsidiary. Limited scope appraisals are prepared on a monthly basis and typically include a limited comparable sales and a full discounted cash flow analysis. Annually, a full scope, detailed appraisal report is completed which typically includes market analysis, cost approach, sales comparison approach and an income approach containing a discounted cash flow analysis. The full scope report is prepared by a third-party appraisal firm. The investment manager, including through communication with the Independent Valuation Advisor, monitors for material events that the investment manager believes may be expected to have a material impact on the most recent estimated fair values of such private real estate investments. However, rapidly changing market conditions or material events may not be immediately reflected in the Fund’s or REIT Subsidiary’s daily NAV. The investment manager, in conjunction with the Independent Valuation Advisor, values the private real estate investments using the valuation methodology it deems most appropriate and consistent with industry best practices and market conditions. The investment manager expects the primary methodology used to value private real estate

     

    38


    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    investments will be the income approach. Consistent with industry practices, the income approach incorporates actual contractual lease income, professional judgments regarding comparable rental and operating expense data, the capitalization or discount rate and projections of future rent and expenses based on appropriate market evidence, and other subjective factors. Other methodologies that may also be used to value properties include, among other approaches, sales comparisons and cost approaches. Private real estate appraisals are reported on a free and clear basis (i.e., any property-level indebtedness that may be in place is not incorporated into the valuation). Property level debt is valued separately in accordance with GAAP.

    The Board of Directors has designated the investment manager as the Fund’s “Valuation Designee” under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As Valuation Designee, the investment manager is authorized to make fair valuation determinations, subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors. 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 Directors. 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.

    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 Directors. 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.

    For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities are categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the hierarchy, depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs. Securities, including private placements or other restricted securities, for which observable inputs are not available are valued using alternate valuation approaches, including the market approach, the income approach and cost approach, and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. The market approach considers factors including the price of recent investments in the same or a similar security or financial metrics of comparable securities. The income approach considers factors including expected future cash flows, security specific risks and corresponding discount rates. The cost approach considers factors including the value of the security’s underlying assets and liabilities.

    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.

    The levels associated with valuing the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2025 are disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

    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.

    Cash: For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Fund defines cash as cash, including foreign currency and restricted cash.

    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

     

    40


    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable 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 Consolidated 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

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    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.

    Centrally Cleared Interest Rate Swap Contracts: The Fund uses interest rate swaps in connection with borrowing under its 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 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 credit agreement, the accruals for which would begin at a specific date in the future (the effective date). 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 Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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: 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 dividend reinvestment plan, unless the shareholder has elected to have them paid in cash.

    The Fund has a managed distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Plan gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a more regular basis to shareholders. Therefore, regular monthly distributions throughout the year may include a portion of estimated realized long-term capital gains, along with net investment income, short-term capital gains and return of capital, which is not taxable. In accordance with the Plan, the Fund is required to adhere to certain conditions in order to distribute long-term capital gains during the year.

    Dividends from net investment income are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes. Based upon the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025, the investment manager considers it likely that a portion of the dividends will be reclassified to distributions from net realized gain and/or tax return of capital upon the final determination of the Fund’s taxable income after December 31, 2025 the Fund’s fiscal year end.

    Distributions Subsequent to June 30, 2025: The following distributions have been declared by the Fund’s Board of Directors and are payable subsequent to the period end of this report.

    9/9/25     9/30/25     $0.136

    Distributions to holders of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock are accrued daily and paid semi-annually and are determined as described in Note 7. The payments made to the holders of the Fund’s Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock are treated as dividends or distributions.

    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 on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Dividend and interest income from holdings in non-U.S. securities is 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 all open tax years and has concluded that as of June 30, 2025, no additional provisions for

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    income tax are required in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements. The Fund’s tax positions for the tax years 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.

    The REIT Subsidiary intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Subchapter M of the Code. The REIT Subsidiary’s qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon the REIT Subsidiary’s ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual operating results, certain qualification tests set forth in the Code. Those qualification tests involve the percentage of income that it earns from specified sources, the percentage of its assets that falls within specified categories, the diversity of the ownership of its shares, and the percentage of its taxable income that the REIT Subsidiary distributes. As a REIT, the REIT Subsidiary generally will be allowed to deduct dividends paid to its shareholders and, as a result, the REIT Subsidiary will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of its ordinary income and net capital gain that the REIT Subsidiary annually distributes to its shareholders, as long as the REIT Subsidiary meets the minimum distribution requirements under the Code. The REIT Subsidiary intends to make distributions on a regular basis as necessary to avoid material U.S. federal income tax and to comply with the REIT distribution requirements.

    For the current open tax year and for all major jurisdictions, management of the REIT Subsidiary has analyzed and concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements. The REIT Subsidiary’s tax positions for the tax years 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 Directors.

    For the services provided to the Fund, the investment manager receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.65% of the average daily managed assets of the Fund. Managed assets are equal to the net assets plus the amount of any borrowings used for leverage outstanding.

    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 June 30, 2025, the Fund incurred $433,038 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.

    Note 9. Borrowings

    The Fund has entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the credit agreement) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International, Ltd. (BNPP) in which the Fund pays a monthly financing charge based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)-based variable rates. The commitment amount of the credit agreement (the commitment amount) was $450,000,000 prior to July 15, 2025 and increased to $500,000,000 effective July 15, 2025. The Fund also pays a fee of 0.45% per annum on any unused portion of the credit agreement, which, beginning on July 15, 2025, is only charged when less than 80% of the commitment amount is outstanding. BNPP may not change certain terms of the credit agreement except upon 360 days’ notice. Also, if the Fund violates certain conditions, the credit agreement may be terminated. The Fund is required to pledge portfolio securities and/or cash as collateral. 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. The credit agreement also permits, subject to certain conditions, BNPP to rehypothecate portfolio securities pledged by the Fund up to the amount of the loan balance outstanding and, prior to January 1, 2024, the Fund received a portion of the fees earned by BNPP in connection with the rehypothecation of portfolio securities (the rehypothecation fee). The Fund continues to receive dividends and interest on rehypothecated securities. The Fund also has the right under the credit agreement to recall the rehypothecated securities from BNPP on demand. If BNPP fails to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Fund will be compensated by BNPP for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security will not be returned by BNPP, the Fund, upon notice to BNPP, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the amount of the recalled security failed to be returned.

    As of June 30, 2025, the Fund had outstanding borrowings of $450,000,000 at a rate of 5.2%. 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 June 30, 2025, the Fund borrowed an average daily balance of $450,000,000 at a weighted average borrowing cost of 5.1%.

    Note 10. Other Risks

    Market Price Discount from Net Asset Value Risk: 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. 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 is 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, the shares may trade at, above or below NAV.

    Common Stock Risk: While common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed-income securities over the long-term, common stocks have also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns, although under certain market conditions, fixed-income investments

     

    49


    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    may have comparable or greater price volatility. The value of common stocks and other equity securities will fluctuate in response to developments concerning the company, political and regulatory circumstances, the stock market, and the economy. In the short term, stock prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of large companies can react differently than stocks of smaller companies, and value stocks (stocks of companies that are undervalued by various measures and have potential for long-term capital appreciation), can react differently from growth stocks (stocks of companies with attractive cash flow returns on invested capital and earnings that are expected to grow). These developments can affect a single company, all companies within the same industry, economic sector or geographic region, or the stock market as a whole.

    Real Estate Market Risk: Since the Fund concentrates its assets in companies engaged in the real estate industry, an investment in the Fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Risks of investing in real estate securities include falling property values due to increasing vacancies, declining rents resulting from economic, legal, tax, political or technological developments, lack of liquidity, limited diversification, and sensitivity to certain economic factors such as interest-rate changes and market recessions. Real estate company prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to pay their loans and poor management, and residential developers, in particular, could be negatively impacted by falling home prices, slower mortgage origination and rising construction costs. The risks of investing in REITs are similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate securities.

    REIT Risk: In addition to the risks of securities linked to the real estate industry, REITs are subject to certain other risks related to their structure and focus. REITs generally are dependent upon management skills and may not be diversified. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to (i) qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable tax law, or (ii) maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act. The above factors may also adversely affect a borrower’s or a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments.

    Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk: Companies in the real estate industry tend to be small- to medium-sized companies in relation to the equity markets as a whole. There may be less trading in a smaller company’s stock, which means that buy and sell transactions in that stock could have a larger impact on the stock’s price than is the case with larger company stocks. Smaller companies also may have fewer lines of business so that changes in any one line of business may have a greater impact on a smaller company’s stock price than is the case for a larger company. Further, smaller company stocks may perform differently in different cycles than larger company stocks. Accordingly, real estate company shares can, and at times will, perform differently than large company stocks.

    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

     

    50


    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    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: 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 intends to 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.

    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.

    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    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 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 incur applicable breakage fees under the Fund’s credit arrangement and 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 management fees payable to the investment manager 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.

    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, due to changes in market structure and regulation over the past several years, dealers ted to hold lower inventories of securities than they had in the past, which can limit the ability and willingness of these dealers to make markets and provide liquidity. 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.) and Emerging Market 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.

    Investing in securities of companies in emerging markets may entail special risks relating to potential economic, political or social instability and the risks of expropriation, nationalization, confiscation, trade sanctions or embargoes or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment,

     

    52


    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    the lack of hedging instruments, and repatriation of capital invested. The securities and real estate markets of some emerging market countries have in the past experienced substantial market disruptions and may do so in the future.

    Foreign Currency and Currency Hedging 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.

    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.

    Options Risk: Gains on options transactions depend on the investment manager’s ability to predict correctly the direction of stock prices, indexes, interest rates, and other economic factors, and unanticipated changes may cause poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not engaged in such transactions. A rise in the value of the security or index underlying a call option written by the Fund exposes the Fund to possible loss or loss of opportunity to realize appreciation in the value of any portfolio securities underlying or otherwise related to the call option. By writing a put option, the Fund assumes the risk of a decline in the underlying security or index. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position, and for certain options not traded on an exchange no market usually exists. Trading could be interrupted, for example, because of supply and demand imbalances arising from a lack of either buyers or sellers, or an options exchange could suspend trading after the price has risen or fallen more than the maximum specified by the exchange. Although the Fund may be able to offset to some extent any adverse effects of being unable to liquidate an option position, that Fund may experience losses in some cases as a result of such inability, may not be able to close its position and, in such an event would be unable to control its losses.

    Private Real Estate Risk: The Fund’s investments in private real estate include additional risks. For example, lease defaults, terminations by one or more tenants or landlord-tenant disputes may reduce the Fund’s revenues and net income. Any of these situations may result in extended periods during which there is a significant decline in revenues or no revenues generated by a property. If this occurred, it could adversely affect the Fund’s results of operations.

     

    53


    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    The Fund’s investments in private real estate are expected to be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks or U.S. government securities.

    REIT Subsidiary Risk: Investments in a REIT Subsidiary are subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. A REIT Subsidiary, and therefore the Fund, may be affected by changes in the real estate markets generally as well as changes in the values of any properties owned by a REIT Subsidiary or securing any mortgages owned by a REIT Subsidiary (which changes in value could be influenced by market conditions for real estate in general or issues related to the particular property). If a REIT Subsidiary’s underlying assets are concentrated in properties used by a particular industry, it will be subject to risks associated with such industry.

    By investing through a REIT Subsidiary, the Fund bears the fees and expenses of the REIT Subsidiary (including, among other things operating costs, transaction expenses, administrative and custody fees, legal expenses and custody expenses). Thus, investing through a REIT Subsidiary may cause the Fund to be subject to higher operating expenses than if it invested directly.

    Real Estate Limited Liability Company Risk: The Fund through a REIT subsidiary may invest in real estate limited liability companies with third parties. The Fund may also make investments in partnerships or other co-ownership arrangements or participations. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment, which include risks associated with having a limited liability company partner, such as the real estate limited liability company partner becoming insolvent or bankrupt, engaging in fraud or other misconduct or having economic or business interests or goals that conflict with the Fund’s business interest or goals. Also, the terms of the limited liability company agreement could restrict the Fund’s ability to sell or transfer its interest to a third party or could cause the Fund to sell its interest or acquire its partner’s interest at a time when the Fund otherwise would not have initiated such a transaction.

    In addition, disputes between the Fund and its real estate limited liability company partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase the Fund’s expenses and prevent the Fund’s officers and trustees from focusing their time and efforts on the Fund’s business. Any of the above might subject the Fund to liabilities and thus reduce its returns on the investment with that real estate limited liability company partner.

    Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk: Geopolitical events, such as war (including ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), terrorist attacks, natural or environmental disasters (including hurricanes, wildfires, and flooding), country instability, public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), 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, have led and may in the future lead to 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

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    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.

    Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine significantly amplified already existing geopolitical tensions. The U.S. 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.

    Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East could have similar negative impacts. The possibility of a prolonged conflict, and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the oil and natural gas markets.

    Systemic risk events in the financial sectors and/or resulting government actions can negatively impact investments held by the Fund. For example, issues with certain regional U.S. banks and other financial institutions in March 2023 raised economic concerns over disruption in the U.S. banking system. These risks also may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms, and exchanges, with which the Fund interacts. There can be no certainty that any actions taken by the U.S. government to strengthen public confidence in the U.S. banking system or financial markets will be effective in mitigating the effects of financial institution failures on the economy and restoring or maintaining public confidence. In addition, raising the U.S. Government debt ceiling has become increasingly politicized. Any failure to increase the total amount that the U.S. Government is authorized to borrow could lead to a default on U.S. Government obligations. A default or a threat of default by the U.S. Government would be highly disruptive to the U.S. and global securities markets and could significantly reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.

    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.

    The rapid development and increasingly widespread use and regulation of artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (collectively, AI Technologies), may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the rapid advanced development of AI Technologies and efforts to regulate or control its use and advancement may have significant positive or negative impacts on a wide range of different industries and the global economy. It is not possible to predict which companies, sectors, or economies may benefit or be disadvantaged by such developments, nor is it possible to determine the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.

    Some political leaders around the world (including in the U.S. and certain European nations) have been and may be elected on protectionist platforms, raising questions about the future of

    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)

     

    global free trade. Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers and bilateral trade frictions, together with any future downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, could adversely affect the financial performance of the Fund and its investments.

    Regulatory Risk: Legal and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and other financial institutions or products (such as banking or insurance products), and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator’s disagreement with the Fund’s interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund. The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the fund industry in general. These regulations or any laws and regulations that maybe adopted in the future may restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions or raise additional capital and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund.

    Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants’ ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.

    The Fund and the instruments in which it invests may be subject to new or additional regulatory constraints in the future. 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.

    Cybersecurity Risk: With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and AI Technologies, and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund and its service providers (including the investment manager), and their own service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website or company system, misappropriating or releasing confidential information without authorization (including personal data), gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets and causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. New ways to carry out cyber-attacks continue to develop. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflict, and geopolitical tensions may increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber security attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the investment manager, or a custodian, transfer

    agent, or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders.

    Each of the Fund and the investment manager may have limited ability to detect, prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks or security or technology breakdowns affecting the Fund’s third-party service providers. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect, prevent or reduce the impact of cyber-attacks, such plans and systems are subject to inherent limitations.

    Note 11. Operating Segments

    An operating segment is defined in ASC Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The executive committee of the Fund’s investment manager and the Fund’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer act as the Fund’s CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s total returns, expense ratios, subscriptions and redemptions, which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements.

    Note 12. 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 13. Subsequent Events

    Management has evaluated events and transactions occurring after June 30, 2025 through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that no additional disclosure in the consolidated financial statements is required.

    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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) 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.

    Changes to the Portfolio Management Team

    Effective January 31, 2025, Robert Kastoff was added as a portfolio manager of the Fund.

    APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

    The Board of Directors of the Fund (the Board), including a majority of the directors who are not parties to the Fund’s investment management agreement (the Management Agreement), or interested persons of any such party (the Independent Directors), has the responsibility under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Fund’s Management Agreement for its initial two year term and its continuation annually thereafter at a meeting of the Board called for the purpose of voting on the approval or continuation. The Management Agreement was discussed at a meeting of the Independent Directors, in their capacity as the Contract Review Committee, held on June 3, 2025, and at a meeting of the full Board held on June 17, 2025. The Independent Directors, in their capacity as the Contract Review Committee, also discussed the Management Agreement in executive sessions on June 16 and 17, 2025. At the meeting of the full Board on June 17, 2025, the Management Agreement was unanimously continued for a term ending June 30, 2026, by the Board, including the Independent Directors. The Independent Directors were represented by independent counsel who assisted them in their deliberations during the meetings and executive sessions.

    In considering whether to continue the Management Agreement, the Board reviewed materials provided by an independent data provider, which included, among other items, fee, expense and performance information compared to peer funds (the Peer Funds and, collectively with the Fund, the Peer Group) and performance comparisons to a larger category universe; summary information prepared by the Fund’s investment manager (the Investment Manager); and a memorandum from counsel to the Independent Directors outlining the legal duties of the Board. The Board also spoke directly with a representative of the independent data provider and met with investment management personnel. In addition, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Investment Manager throughout the year at meetings of the Board, including presentations by portfolio managers relating to the investment performance of the Fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Fund’s objective. The Board also considered information provided by the Investment Manager in response to a request for information submitted by counsel to the Independent Directors, on behalf of the Independent Directors, as well as information provided by the Investment Manager in response to a supplemental request. In particular, the Board considered the following:

    (i) The nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Investment Manager: The Board reviewed the services that the Investment Manager provides to the Fund, including, but not limited to, making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund, placing orders for the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets, furnishing information to the Board regarding the Fund’s portfolio, providing individuals to serve as Fund officers, managing the Fund’s debt leverage level, and generally managing the Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund. The Board also discussed with officers and portfolio managers of the Fund the types of transactions conducted on behalf of the Fund. Additionally, the Board took into account the services provided by the Investment Manager to its other funds and accounts, including those that have investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Board also considered the education, background and experience of the Investment Manager’s personnel, particularly noting the potential benefit that the portfolio managers’ work experience and favorable reputation can have on the Fund. The Board further noted the Investment Manager’s ability to attract qualified and

     

    60


    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    experienced personnel. The Board also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Manager, including compliance and accounting services. After consideration of the above factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager are satisfactory and appropriate.

    (ii) Investment performance of the Fund and the Investment Manager: The Board considered the investment performance of the Fund compared to Peer Funds and compared to a relevant linked blended benchmark. The Board considered that, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, the Fund outperformed the Peer Group medians for the one-, five- and ten-year periods and underperformed for the three-year period ended March 31, 2025, ranking the Fund four out of eight peers, three out of eight peers, three out of eight peers and six out of eight peers, respectively. The Board noted that, on a NAV basis, the Fund outperformed the relevant linked blended benchmark for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2025. The Board engaged in discussions with the Investment Manager regarding the contributors to and detractors from the Fund’s performance, as well as the impact of leverage on the Fund’s performance. The Board considered that the Fund’s dual focus on REITs and preferred securities is uncommon and as a result, the Peer Funds generally consisted of real-estate only or preferred-only funds, making it difficult to make quantitative comparisons of the Fund’s performance with that of the Peer Funds. The Board also considered supplemental information provided by the Investment Manager, including a narrative summary of various factors affecting performance and the Investment Manager’s performance in managing similarly managed funds and accounts. The Board determined that Fund performance, in light of all the considerations noted above, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

    (iii) Cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Investment Manager from the relationship with the Fund: The Board considered the contractual and actual management fees paid by the Fund as well as the Fund’s total expense ratios. As part of its analysis, the Board gave consideration to the fee and expense analyses provided by the independent data provider. The Board considered that the Fund’s actual management fee at managed and common asset levels were lower than the Peer Group medians, ranking two out of eight peers for each. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratios including investment-related expenses at common and managed asset levels were lower than the Peer Group medians, ranking three out of eight peers for each. The Board also noted that the Fund’s total expense ratios excluding investment-related expenses at managed and common asset levels were lower than the Peer Group medians, ranking two out of eight peers for each. The Board considered the impact of leverage on the Fund’s fees and expenses at managed and common asset levels. In light of the considerations above, the Board concluded that the Fund’s current expense structure was satisfactory.

    The Board also reviewed information regarding the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Fund. The Board considered the level of the Investment Manager’s profits and whether the profits were reasonable for the Investment Manager. The Board took into consideration other benefits to be derived by the Investment Manager in connection with the Management Agreement, noting particularly the research and related services, within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that the Investment Manager receives by allocating the Fund’s brokerage transactions. The Board further considered that the Investment Manager continues to reinvest profits back in the business, including upgrading and/or

     

    61


    Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.

     

    implementing new trading, compliance and accounting systems, and by adding investment personnel to the portfolio management teams. The Board also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Manager and the associated administration fee paid to the Investment Manager for such services under the Administration Agreement. The Board determined that the services received under the Administration Agreement are beneficial to the Fund. The Board concluded that the profits realized by the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Fund were reasonable and consistent with the Investment Manager’s fiduciary duties.

    (iv) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale: The Board noted that, as a closed-end fund, the Fund would not be expected to have inflows of capital that might produce increasing economies of scale. The Board determined that, given the Fund’s closed-end structure, there were no significant economies of scale that were not already being shared with shareholders. In considering economies of scale, the Board also noted, as discussed above in (iii), that the Investment Manager continues to reinvest profits back in the business.

    (v) Comparison of services to be rendered and fees to be paid to those under other investment management contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisors or other clients: As discussed above in (iii), the Board compared the fees paid under the Management Agreement to those under other investment management contracts of other investment advisors managing Peer Funds. The Board also compared the services rendered and fees paid under the Management Agreement to fees paid, including the ranges of such fees, under the Investment Manager’s other fund management agreements and advisory contracts with institutional and other clients with similar investment mandates, noting that the Investment Manager provides more services to the Fund than it does to institutional or subadvised accounts. The Board also considered the entrepreneurial risk and financial exposure assumed by the Investment Manager in developing and managing the Fund that the Investment Manager does not have with institutional and other clients and other differences in the management of registered investment companies and institutional accounts. The Board determined that on a comparative basis the fees under the Management Agreement were reasonable in relation to the services provided.

    No single factor was cited as determinative to the decision of the Board, and each Director may have assigned different weights to the various factors. Rather, after weighing all of the considerations and conclusions discussed above, the Board, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Management Agreement.

    In connection with the use of a Credit Facility (the “BNP Credit Facility”) with BNPP, the Registrant permits BNPP, subject to certain conditions, to rehypothecate (i.e., lend to other counterparties) portfolio securities pledged by the Registrant.

    As a securities lending agent, BNPP is responsible for the implementation and administration of the Registrant’s securities lending activities pursuant to the rehypothecation component of the BNP Credit Facility.
