The investment objective of Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is to provide attractive total return, comprised of current income and price appreciation.

**Fund Fees and Expenses**

This table describes the fees and expenses that you could pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.** You may qualify for sales charge discounts on Class A shares if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $100,000 in Cohen & Steers open-end mutual funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary and in "How to Purchase, Exchange and Sell Fund Shares—Purchasing the Class of Fund Shares that is Best for You" in the Fund's prospectus (the "Prospectus"), in the Appendix to this Prospectus titled "Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries" (the "Appendix"), and "Reducing the Initial Sales Charge on Class A Shares" in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI"). If you purchase Class I or Class Z shares through a financial intermediary acting as an agent on behalf of its customers, that financial intermediary may charge you a commission. Such commissions, if any, are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in the fee table or expense example below. **Currently, R and Z shares of the Fund are publicly offered on a limited basis. Class F shares are currently not available for purchase. See "*How to Purchase, Exchange and Sell Fund Shares—*Purchasing the Class of Fund Shares that Is Best for You" in the Prospectus for more information.**

At a meeting held on March 10, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Fund approved the conversion of the Fund into an exchange-traded fund, the Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Active ETF (the "Acquiring Fund"), a newly created series of the Cohen & Steers ETF Trust (the "Conversion"). The Conversion is currently expected to occur on or about June 12, 2026.

Effective March 11, 2026, no initial sales charge will be imposed on Class A shares, and no contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") will be imposed on redemptions of Class A or C shares. Effective June 1, 2026, the Distribution (12b-1) Fees on Class A, C and R shares will be waived. Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Fund will be consolidated into Class I shares (without a CDSC or other charge) on or about June 5, 2026.

(1) **Class F shares are currently not available for purchase. Class R and Z shares are available on a limited basis.**

(2) In connection with the Conversion, effective June 1, 2026, the Distribution (12b-1) Fees on Class A, C and R shares will be waived.

(3) The maximum shareholder service fee for Class I shares is 0.10%.

(4) Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses through June 30, 2027 so that the Fund's total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.25% for Class A shares, 1.90% for Class C shares, 0.90% for Class F shares, 0.90% for Class I shares, 1.40% for Class R shares and 0.90% for Class Z shares. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund's Board of Directors and the Advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Fund.

(5) The total annual fund operating expenses for Class F shares are estimated.

**Example**

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, and that the Advisor did not waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses after June 30, 2027 (through June 30, 2027, expenses are based on the net amount pursuant to the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| **Class A Shares** | $127 | $454 | $813 | $1823 |
| **Class C Shares** | $193 | $654 | $1149 | $2514 |
| **Class F Shares** | $92 | $345 | $627 | $1431 |
| **Class I Shares** | $92 | $358 | $656 | $1503 |
| **Class R Shares** | $143 | $501 | $891 | $1987 |
| **Class Z Shares** | $92 | $345 | $627 | $1431 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 115% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of energy companies, including traditional-, alternative-, renewable- and clean-energy companies, natural resource companies, utilities, and companies in associated businesses (collectively, "Energy and Energy-Related Companies") (as further defined below). The Fund will seek to invest in Energy and Energy-Related Companies that the Advisor believes are leading, enabling, supplying, disrupting, or otherwise benefiting from transitional or longer-term structural changes to the global energy sector, such as changes resulting from shifting demand and supply of traditional and alternative energy sources, increasing emphasis on storage, resilience, and security of supply, and other developments in technologies, regulations, and behaviors affecting the energy sector. Equity securities include common

------

stocks, rights or warrants to purchase common stocks, convertible securities, preferred stocks, depositary receipts, private investments in public equity ("PIPEs"), and private placements. The Fund may invest in equity securities of Energy and Energy- Related Companies of any market capitalization. "Energy and Energy-Related Companies" may also include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Securities of companies that own or otherwise engage in activities related to energy in the U.S., such as assets related to exploration, development, mining, production, transmission, infrastructure, processing, refining, storage, gathering, distribution, marketing, and transportation (including pipelines) of oil and gas, minerals, geothermal energy, renewable energy, liquefied natural gas ("LNG"), fertilizer, timber or industrial source carbon dioxide;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) securities of renewable companies that are owners or operators of "clean" assets, as well as those developing technologies, products, processes and services relating to more efficient or cleaner use, storage, delivery, management, conservation or conversion of natural resources or products derived therefrom or the transition to cleaner and more efficient use of natural resources or products derived therefrom;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Utilities, including gas, water, cable, electrical and telecommunications utilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Energy and Energy-Related Companies that are organized as Master Limited Partnerships ("MLPs") and limited liability companies that are publicly traded and treated as partnerships or C corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Direct investments in MLPs may take the form of debt or equity, including, without limitation, common units, preferred units, convertible subordinated units, PIPEs, and securities of affiliates of MLPs, substantially all of whose assets consist of units or ownership interests of an affiliated MLP (which includes, without limitation, general partner interests, incentive distribution rights, common units and subordinated units);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) securities of exchange-traded, open-end or closed-end funds that invest primarily in other Energy or Energy-Related Companies or their affiliates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) Instruments that provide economic exposure to each type of investment listed in items (i) through (v) above, including derivative instruments such as, among others, forward contracts, futures and options thereon, options and swaps.

The Fund may also invest up to 50% of its net assets in foreign securities, including those issued by companies in emerging markets.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in investments that are not Energy and Energy-Related Companies.

Debt securities issued by Energy and Energy-Related Companies may include those rated below investment grade (below Baa3 or BBB-) by Moody's, S&P, Fitch or an equivalent rating by one nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") or that are unrated but judged to be below investment grade by the Advisor at the time of purchase. Such securities are commonly known as "high yield bonds" or "junk bonds." The Fund may invest in debt securities without regard to their maturity or credit rating.

The Fund may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments to seek to generate return, facilitate portfolio management and mitigate risks.

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund**

Before investing, be sure to read the additional descriptions of these risks in the full statutory prospectus.

**Investment Risk**

An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.

**Market Risk**

Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account any reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.

**Market Volatility Risk**

The Fund's strategy of focusing its investments in Energy and Energy-Related Companies means that the performance of the Fund will be closely tied to the performance of the energy infrastructure industry. Recent market volatility in the energy markets has significantly affected the performance of the energy infrastructure industry, as well as the performance of the Energy and Energy-Related companies in which the Fund invests. In addition, volatility in the energy markets may affect the ability of Energy and Energy-Related Companies to finance capital expenditures and new acquisitions and to maintain or increase distributions to investors due to a lack of access to capital.

------

**Energy Sector Risks**

The Fund will be subject to more risks related to the energy sector than if the Fund were more broadly diversified over numerous sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy sector of the economy could have a larger impact on the Fund than on an investment company that does not concentrate in the sector. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the sector has lagged the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Recent uncertainty in the energy markets has had an adverse effect on energy-related securities, and it is unclear when these markets may stabilize. In addition, there are several specific risks associated with investments in the energy sector, including the following:

● Fluctuations in commodity prices may impact the volume of commodities transported, processed, stored or distributed.

● The global energy markets are especially vulnerable to war, sanctions, trade disruptions, tarrifs and other geopolitical risks.

● Reduced volumes of natural gas or other energy commodities available for transporting, processing, storing or distributing may affect the profitability of Energy and Energy-Related Companies.

● Slowdowns in new construction and acquisitions can limit growth potential.

● A sustained reduced demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products that could adversely affect revenues and cash flows.

● Depletion of the natural gas reserves or other commodities if not replaced, which could impact the ability of Energy and Energy-Related Companies to make distributions.

● Changes in the regulatory environment could adversely affect the profitability of Energy and Energy-Related Companies.

● Extreme weather or other natural disasters could impact the value of Energy and Energy-Related Companies.

● Rising interest rates which could result in a higher cost of capital and divert investors into other investment opportunities.

● Threats of attack by terrorists on energy assets could impact the market for Energy and Energy-Related Companies.

**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 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.

**Industry Specific Risks**

Entities operating in the energy sector are also subject to risks that are specific to the industry within that sector they serve. These sectors include pipelines, gathering and processing, midstream, exploration and production, propane, coal and marine shipping.

**Utilities Sector Risk**

Companies in the utilities sector are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs associated with capital construction and improvement programs; difficulty in raising adequate capital in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets; governmental regulation of rates the issuer can charge to customers; costs associated with compliance with environmental and other regulations; effects of economic slowdowns and surplus capacity; the potential impact of natural disasters, terrorist attacks on the utility industry and its customers; increased competition; potential losses resulting from changes in regulations; and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities.

**Natural Resources Risk**

The Fund's investments in securities of natural resource companies involve risks. The market value of securities of natural resource companies may be affected by numerous factors, including events occurring in nature, inflationary pressures and international politics. Because the Fund invests significantly in natural resource companies, there is the risk that the Fund will perform poorly during a downturn in the natural resource sector. For example, events occurring in nature (such as earthquakes or fires in prime natural resource areas) and political events (such as coups, military confrontations or acts of terrorism or sanctions) can affect the overall supply of a natural resource and the value of companies involved in such natural resource. Political risks and the other risks to which foreign securities are subject may also affect domestic natural resource companies if they have significant operations or investments in foreign countries. In particular Russia's military invasion of Ukraine has increased the volatility of many natural resources investments. Rising interest rates and general economic conditions may also affect the demand for natural resources.

**Below Investment Grade Securities Risk**

The Fund may invest in securities that are rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated securities. Below investment grade securities 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. Such securities may face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial or economic conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic condition could disrupt the market for below investment grade 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.

**Convertible Securities Risk**

Although to a lesser extent than with non-convertible fixed-income securities, the market value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, tends to increase as interest rates decline. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the market value of convertible securities tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying common stock. A unique feature of convertible securities is that as the market price of the underlying common stock declines, convertible securities tend to trade increasingly on a yield basis, and so may not experience market value declines to the same extent as the underlying common stock. When the market price of the underlying common stock increases, the prices of the convertible securities tend to rise as a reflection of the value of the underlying common stock. While no securities investments are without risk, investments in convertible securities generally entail less risk than investments in common stock of the same issuer.

**Liquidity Risk**

Liquidity risk is the risk that particular investments of the Fund may become difficult to sell or purchase. Although the equity securities, including those of the MLPs, in which the Fund invests generally trade on major stock exchanges, certain securities may trade less frequently, particularly those of MLPs and other issuers with smaller capitalizations. Securities with limited trading volumes may display volatile or erratic price movements. 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. Also, the Fund may be one of the largest investors in certain sub-sectors of the energy or natural resource sectors. Thus, it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy and sell significant amounts of such securities without an unfavorable impact on prevailing market prices. Larger purchases or sales of these securities by the Fund in a short period of time may cause abnormal movements in the market price of these securities. As a result, these securities may be difficult to dispose of at a fair price at the times when the Advisor believes it is desirable to do so.

**Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities and Emerging Markets Risk**

Risks of investing in foreign securities, which can be expected to be greater for investments in emerging markets, include currency risks, future political and economic developments, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts (including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine), instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), and possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities (including trading and tariff arrangements and restrictions, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks). 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.

Securities of companies in emerging markets may be more volatile than those of companies in more developed markets. Emerging market countries generally have less developed markets, exchanges and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions. Foreign securities markets and exchanges may be less liquid, more

------

**5**

------

volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than in the United States. Political developments in foreign countries or the United States may at times subject such countries to sanctions from the U.S. government, foreign governments and/or international institutions that could negatively affect the Fund's investments in issuers located in, doing business in or with assets in such countries. 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, exchange controls, the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, the lack of hedging instruments, restrictions on repatriation of capital invested or from problems in security registration or settlement and custody. Furthermore, custody practices and regulations abroad may offer less protection to investors, such as the Fund, and the Fund may be limited in its ability to enforce contractual rights or obligations. 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. The economies of many emerging market countries may be heavily dependent on international trade and have thus been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by trade barriers, foreign exchange controls and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they wish to trade.

**Clean Energy Risk**

Many clean energy companies are involved in the development and commercialization of new technologies, which may be subject to delays resulting from budget constraints, technological difficulties, or public and regulatory opposition. Clean energy companies may be highly dependent upon government subsidies, contracts with government entities, and the successful development of new and proprietary technologies. In addition, seasonal weather conditions, fluctuations in the supply of and demand for clean energy products, changes in energy prices, and international political events may cause fluctuations in the performance of clean energy companies and the prices of their securities.

**Renewable Companies Risk**

Renewable companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including costs and losses associated with environmental and other regulations and enforcement policies or changes thereto, obsolescence of its existing offerings, the effects of economic slowdown, short production cycles, increased competition from other providers of services, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors.

Because many renewable companies may be concentrated in a particular industry or industry sector (for example, the energy sector), they are subject to risks associated with such industry or sector. Renewable energy companies may be more volatile than companies operating in more established industries. Renewable energy companies and other companies operating in the renewable energy group of industries are subject to specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; the success of research or exploration projects, changes in governmental or environmental regulation; reduced availability of renewable energy sources or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering resources; slowdowns in new construction; seasonal weather conditions, extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on certain clean energy assets. Additionally, the industry also can be significantly affected by the supply of and demand for specific products or services, including the supply of and demand and price of traditional energy sources (*e.g.*, oil and gas).

**Royalty and Income Trust Risk**

Royalty and income trusts generally make single-sector or even single-enterprise investments, and their investments are therefore sensitive to business cycles, particularly real estate or commodities trusts. Certain trusts may be considered partnerships and their interests may not provide the same limited liability protection as common stocks. Distributions from these trusts may include return of capital invested and, since valuation of a trust's unit is often driven by a multiple of the entire distribution, units of a trust distributing returns of capital may be priced above their economic value. Royalty trusts and income trusts do not guarantee minimum distributions or even return of capital, and if a trust's investments lose money, the trust can reduce or even eliminate distributions, which will typically be accompanied by a loss in the market value of trust units. To the extent these trusts pay out more than their net income (returns of capital), the trusts' capital will decline over time. To the extent that the value of royalty trusts or income trusts is driven by the deferral or reduction of tax, any change in government tax regulations to remove the benefit will reduce the trusts' market value. Royalty trusts and income trusts frequently are found in Canada, and an investment in a Canadian trust will be subject to certain additional risks of investing in foreign securities.

**Master Limited Partnership Risk**

An investment in MLP units involves some risks that differ from an investment in the common stock of a corporation. Holders of MLP units have limited control on matters affecting the partnership. Investing in MLPs involves certain risks related to investing in the underlying assets of the MLPs and risks associated with pooled investment vehicles. MLPs holding credit-related investments are subject to interest rate risk and the risk of default on payment obligations by debt

------

**6**

------

issuers. MLPs that concentrate in a particular industry or industry sector (for example, the energy sector) or a particular geographic region are subject to risks associated with such industry, sector or region. The benefit derived from the Fund's investment in MLPs is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.

**Interest Rate Risk to Energy and Energy-Related Companies Risk**

Rising interest rates could increase the costs of capital thereby increasing operating costs and reducing the ability of Energy and Energy-Related Companies to carry out acquisitions or expansions in a cost-effective manner. As a result, rising interest rates could negatively affect the financial performance of Energy and Energy-Related Companies. Rising interest rates may also impact the price of the securities of Energy and Energy-Related Companies as the yields on alternative investments increase.

**Preferred Securities Risk**

There are various risks associated with investing in preferred securities. These risks include deferral and omission of distributions; credit risk; subordination to bonds and other debt securities in a company's capital structure; interest rate risk; prepayment and extension risk; call, reinvestment and income risk; liquidity risk; limited voting rights; and special redemption rights.

**Tax Risk**

The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company ("RIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). For any year in which the Fund so qualifies, it will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income or gain that it timely distributes to shareholders as dividends. In order to qualify as a RIC, the Fund must meet, among other things, certain asset diversification requirements at the close of each quarter of its taxable year. The treatment of certain of the Fund's investments for purposes of this test may be unclear, and it is possible that the IRS or a court could recharacterize one or more such investments in a manner bearing adversely on the Fund's ability to meet this requirement.

**Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk**

The 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 market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, over-the-counter ("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. In addition, the use of derivatives to hedge the Fund's foreign currency risks may reduce returns or increase volatility, perhaps substantially.

The U.S. government has enacted legislation that provides for regulation of the derivatives market, including minimum margin and capital, clearing and trade execution requirements. The European Union, United Kingdom and some other jurisdictions have implemented and continue to implement similar requirements, which affect the Fund when it enters into a derivatives transaction with a counterparty organized in that country or otherwise subject to that country's derivatives regulations. These regulations have the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or the Fund's ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by the Fund as well as the Fund's ability to pursue its investment objectives through the use of such instruments.

Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act requires that, among other things, the Fund limit its use of derivatives to maintain its status as a "limited derivatives user." If the Fund were not able to maintain such status, it would be required to apply a value-at-risk based limit to its use of derivative instruments and financing transactions, comply with other requirements, and adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program. Rule 18f-4 may curtail the Fund's ability to use derivative instruments as part of the Fund's investment strategy.

**Options Risk**

There are various risks associated with the Fund's use of options, including risks from writing covered call options, writing naked call options and writing put options. The Fund's ability to use options as part of its investment program depends on the liquidity of the markets in those instruments. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. If the Fund were unable to close out an option that it had purchased on a security, it would have to exercise the option in order to realize any profit or the option may expire worthless.

When the Fund writes listed or exchange-traded options, a liquid secondary market may not exist on an exchange when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. The value of options written by the Fund may be adversely affected if the market for the option is reduced or becomes illiquid. If trading were discontinued, the secondary market on that exchange (or in that class or series of options) would cease to exist.

------

The Fund may also write unlisted OTC options, which differ from listed or exchange-traded options in that they are two-party contracts, with price and other terms negotiated between buyer and seller, and generally do not have as much market liquidity as exchange-traded options. In addition, the Fund's ability to terminate OTC options may be more limited than with exchange-traded options. In the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, the Fund may be unable to liquidate an OTC option position.

**Restricted and Illiquid Securities Risk**

The Fund may invest in investments that may be illiquid (*i.e.,* securities that may be difficult to sell at a desirable time or price). Illiquid securities are securities that are not readily marketable and may include some restricted securities, which are securities that may not be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 or, if they are unregistered, may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an exemption from registration. Illiquid investments involve the risk that the securities will not be able to be sold at the time desired by the Fund or at prices approximating the value at which the Fund is carrying the securities on its books. Such securities may include Energy and Energy-Related Companies and non-Energy and Energy-Related Companies.

**Active Management Risk**

As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund's investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Advisor's investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund's investment objective or negatively affect the Fund's investment performance.

**Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk**

Geopolitical and market events (including armed conflicts, terrorism, natural disasters, public health emergencies, trade disputes, tariffs, sanctions, and political or economic instability) can cause significant volatility in global markets and may adversely affect the Fund's investments. Disruptions to supply chains, sharp movements in commodity prices, and changes in investor sentiment or credit conditions may negatively impact issuers, sectors, or entire regions, even those not directly involved in the originating event.

Recent examples include the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, recent political and military developments in Venezuela, and increasing political polarization around issues such as trade policy, monetary policy and the U.S. debt ceiling. The rapid development and regulation of artificial intelligence technologies may also introduce uncertainty. The scope, severity, and duration of these risks are difficult to predict, but they could materially reduce the value of the Fund's 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 may be 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. 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.

**Cyber Security Risk**

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (collectively, "AI Technologies"), and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund and its service providers (including the Advisor and Subadvisors

------

**8**

------

(defined below)), 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 Advisor, a Subadvisor, 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, the Advisor and the Subadvisors 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.

**Shareholder Concentration Risk**

The Fund may have one or more large shareholders or a group of shareholders investing in classes of Fund shares indirectly through an account, platform or program sponsored by a financial institution. In addition, a large number of shareholders collectively may purchase or redeem Fund shares in large amounts rapidly or unexpectedly (collectively, such transactions are referred to as "large shareholder transactions"). Investment and asset allocation decisions by such financial institutions regarding the account, platform or program through which multiple shareholders invest may result in subscription and redemption decisions that have a significant impact on the assets, expenses and trading activities of the Fund. Such a decision may cause the Fund to sell assets (or invest cash) at disadvantageous times or prices, increase or accelerate taxable income and/or gains or transaction costs and may negatively affect the Fund's NAV, performance, or ability to satisfy redemptions in a timely manner. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. The Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation of large redemptions, diluting its investment returns. A number of circumstances may cause a Fund to experience large redemptions, such as changes in investors' circumstances; changes in the eligibility criteria for a Fund or share class of the Fund; liquidations, reorganizations, repositionings, or other announced Fund events; or changes in investment objectives, strategies, policies, risks, or investment personnel.

**Other Investment Companies Risk**

To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds' portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund's expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") may limit the Fund's ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired.

Rule 12d1-4 and other applicable rules under Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act permit an investment company to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. This could affect the Fund's ability to redeem its investments in other investment companies, make such investments less attractive, cause the Fund to incur losses, realize taxable gains distributable to shareholders, incur greater or unexpected expenses or experience other adverse consequences.

**Non-Diversification Risk**

As a "non-diversified" investment company, the Fund can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified investment company. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to any single political, regulatory or economic occurrence and to the financial condition of individual issuers in which it invests. The Fund's relative lack of diversity may subject investors to greater risk of loss than a fund that has a diversified portfolio.

**Fund Performance**

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund's performance from year to year for Class A shares. Because Class F shares are currently not available for purchase, and have therefore not commenced investment operations, no performance information is provided for this share class. The Fund changed its principal investment strategies on March 28, 2024. The performance in the following bar chart and table reflects returns achieved pursuant to different principal investment strategies for periods prior to such change. If the Fund's current strategies had been in place for the periods prior to such change, results shown may have been different. The table shows how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the performance of a selected broad-based market index (the "Broad-Based Index"), the MSCI World Index (net), over various time periods. The MSCI World Index-net is a free-float-adjusted index that measures performance of large- and mid-capitalization companies representing developed market countries and is net of dividend withholding taxes. In addition to the Broad-Based Index, the table shows performance of two additional benchmarks. Each additional benchmark is represented by the performance of a benchmark consisting of the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (Total Return) through January 31, 2019, the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Canada-Capped Index through October 30, 2020, and a blended benchmark of 70% Alerian Midstream Energy Index, 20% S&P 500 Utilities Index, and 10% S&P 500 Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing Index through March 28, 2024. Following March 28, 2024, one additional benchmark (the "Linked Benchmark") is represented by the performance of the S&P Energy Select Sector Index and the other additional benchmark (the "Custom Linked Benchmark") is represented by the performance of the Cohen & Steers Energy Aggregate Blend Price Index, which is a blended benchmark consisting of 35% S&P Energy Select Sector Index, 35% Cohen & Steers Risk Parity Energy Index (Custom) and 30% S&P North American and Europe Clean Energy Index-net. The Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (Total Return) is a capped, float adjusted, capitalization-weighted index composite of North American energy infrastructure companies, whose constituents are engaged in midstream activities involving energy commodities. The Alerian Midstream Energy Select Canada-Capped Index is a composite of North American energy infrastructure companies. The capped, float-adjusted, capitalized-weighted index, which includes the same companies as the Alerian Midstream Energy Select Index (Total Return) but caps the aggregate weight of Canadian constituents at 20%, is disseminated end-of-day on a price-return and total-return basis. The Alerian Midstream Energy Index is a broad-based composite of North American energy infrastructure companies. The capped, float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index, whose constituents are engaged in midstream activities involving energy commodities, is disseminated real-time on a price return basis and on a total return basis. The S&P 500 Utilities Index comprises those companies included in the S&P 500 that are classified as members of the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) utilities sector. The S&P 500 Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing Index is a subset of the S&P 500 Index that includes companies engaged in the refining and marketing of oil, gas and/or refined products. The S&P Energy Select Sector Index is a modified market cap index comprised of energy-related companies within the S&P 500, as defined by the GICS energy sector classification. The Cohen & Steers Risk Parity Energy Index (Custom) is based on the S&P Energy Select Sector Index with weights based on volatility contribution of the underlying GICS industries. The S&P North American and Europe Clean Energy Index-net is designed to measure the performance of 100 of the largest companies in global clean energy-related businesses from North America and Europe. The Advisor believes that the Linked Benchmark and the Custom Linked Benchmark, as compared to the Broad-Based Index, are comprised of securities that are more representative of the Fund's investment strategy during those periods.Past performance (both before and after taxes) is not, however, an indication as to how the Fund may perform in the future. Updated performance information, including the Fund's NAV per share, is available at www.cohenandsteers.com or by calling (800) 330-7348.

The bar chart does not reflect the deduction of sales charges imposed on Class A shares; if these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown. Absent any applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitation, performance would have been lower. The table following the bar chart reflects applicable sales charges, if any.
