November 16 2006 - 12:23PM
PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cohen & Steers
Capital Management, Inc., the investment adviser to each of the
closed-end Cohen & Steers mutual funds, announced projected
long-term capital gain distributions for 2006 as follows: Cohen
& Steers Total Return Realty Fund, Inc. (NYSE:RFI) $1.56 -
$2.03 per share Cohen & Steers Advantage Income Realty Fund,
Inc. (NYSE:RLF) $2.28 - $2.92 per share Cohen & Steers Quality
Income Realty Fund, Inc. (NYSE:RQI) $1.85 - $2.39 per share Cohen
& Steers Premium Income Realty Fund, Inc. (NYSE:RPF) $2.63 -
$3.42 per share Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred Income Fund,
Inc. (NYSE:RNP) $1.42 - $1.92 per share Cohen & Steers REIT and
Utility Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE:RTU) $0.84 - $0.97 per share Cohen
& Steers Select Utility Fund, Inc. (NYSE:UTF) $0.18 - $0.25 per
share Cohen & Steers Dividend Majors Fund, Inc. (NYSE:DVM)
$1.00 - $1.20 per share Cohen & Steers Worldwide Realty Income
Fund, Inc. (NYSE:RWF) $0.02 - $0.13 per share It is not expected
that the funds will declare and pay any short-term capital gain
distributions for 2006. It is expected that the funds will declare
and pay long-term capital gain distributions during the second half
of December. The numbers identified above represent estimates and
are subject to change based on portfolio, market and shareholder
activity and tax adjustments. The statement that the funds are not
expected to pay any short-term capital distributions is also a
projection and is subject to change. Actual capital gain
distributions will appear on shareholders' 1099-DIV forms, which
will be mailed in early 2007. Shareholders should keep in mind that
certain broker- dealers may distribute information on fund capital
gain distributions based on preliminary data and subsequently
distribute revised reports after the fund calculates final
distribution amounts for the 2006 taxable year. You should also
remember that the net asset value of a fund with a capital gain
distribution will decline on the "ex-dividend" date to reflect the
adjusted net asset value of the fund after the distribution, in
addition to any effect the market's performance had on the
securities within the fund's portfolio on that day. If you own
funds in a retirement plan or any type of IRA you will not owe any
current taxes on those distributions. Income may be subject to
state and local taxes as well as the alternative minimum tax. This
information reflects distribution activities at the fund level
only. Certain of the funds will own securities issued by REITs. A
portion of the dividends paid by REITs may be recharacterized for
tax purposes following year-end as capital gain and/or return of
capital. To the extent this occurs, distributions paid by the fund
during the year also will be reclassified to reflect these REIT
recharacterizations. Therefore the actual composition of a fund's
distributions during a year may change substantially by year-end
and, to the extent these changes do occur, they will have the
effect of reducing the net investment income component of fund
distributions and correspondingly increasing the capital gain
and/or return of capital components. You can find more information
regarding the tax character of fund distributions by visiting the
Cohen & Steers Web site at http://cohenandsteers.com/.
Shareholders will receive notification in a Form 1099-DIV of the
exact composition of all distributions for the year and the related
tax treatment. Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Cohen & Steers, Inc., a publicly
traded company whose common stock is listed on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "CNS." DATASOURCE: Cohen & Steers
