The fund, traded as RQI, operates under a managed distribution policy established in 2012, aiming to provide regular monthly payouts. While the current distribution relies heavily on net investment income, the year-to-date figures show a more complex composition: 51.16% of total distributions paid through September 30, 2026, stem from net realized long-term capital gains, with 11.94% classified as return of capital.

Cohen & Steers Realty Fund Details September Distribution Sources
Number-focused: The Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund has disclosed its distribution breakdown for September 2026, revealing that 92.44% of the $0.09 per share monthly payout is derived from net investment income, while 4.89% originates from a return of capital to shareholders.

Management emphasizes that these figures are estimates and subject to change based on year-end tax characterizations. A return of capital, which occurs when payouts exceed net income and realized gains, reduces a shareholder's tax basis rather than functioning as taxable income. Shareholders are advised that actual tax reporting will be finalized via Form 1099-DIV after the calendar year concludes. Performance metrics for the period ending August 31, 2026, indicate a year-to-date cumulative total return of 14.30% against a cumulative distribution rate of 6.20%.
