Supplement dated December 12, 2025 to the Summary Prospectus dated May 1, 2025

and Prospectus dated May 1, 2025, as supplemented on August 29, 2025

*On December 9, 2025, the Board of Directors of Cohen & Steers Global Realty Shares, Inc. approved, effective May 1, 2026, the following changes:* 

*The third paragraph within the "Principal Investment Strategies" section of the Summary Prospectus will be deleted and restated as follows:* 

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least the lesser of (i) 40% of its total assets or (ii) the percentage of non-U.S. companies in the index designated by the Fund as its current benchmark, the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Real Estate Index-Net, minus 10%, in real estate companies organized or located outside the U.S. or doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. The benchmark does not otherwise constrain the Fund's ability to make investments. The Fund allocates its assets among various regions and countries, including the United States (but in no fewer than three different countries). The Fund considers a company that derives at least 50% of its revenue from business outside the U.S. or has at least 50% of its assets outside the U.S. as doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. The non-U.S. companies in which the Fund invests may include those domiciled in emerging market countries. Typically, emerging markets are in countries that are in the process of industrialization, with lower gross national products per capita than more developed countries. The Fund is not limited in the extent to which it may invest in emerging market companies.

*The "Investment Objective, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks—Principal Investment Strategies—Real Estate Companies" section of the Prospectus will be deleted and restated in its entirety as follows:* 

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80%, and usually substantially all, of its total assets in common stocks and other equity securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. real estate companies, including real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and similar REIT-like entities. For purposes of the Fund's investment policies, a real estate company is one that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• derives at least 50% of its revenues from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of
commercial, industrial or residential real estate and land;

or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• has at least 50% of its assets invested in such real estate.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least the lesser of (i) 40% of its total assets or (ii) the percentage of non-U.S. companies in the index designated by the Fund as its current benchmark, the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Real Estate Index-Net, minus 10%, in real estate companies organized or located outside the U.S. or doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. The benchmark does not otherwise constrain the Fund's ability to make investments. The Fund allocates its assets among various regions and countries, including the United States (but in no fewer than three different countries). The Fund considers a company that derives at least 50% of its revenue from business outside the U.S. or has at least 50% of its assets outside the U.S. as doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. The Fund is not limited in the extent to which it may invest in real estate equity securities of companies domiciled in emerging market countries.

The *equity securities* in which the Fund invests can consist of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• common stocks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rights or warrants to purchase common stocks;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• securities convertible into common stocks where the conversion feature represents, in the view of the Advisor or
a Subadvisor, a significant element of the securities' value;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• preferred stocks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• private investments in public equity ("PIPEs"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• real estate private placements.

*The "Investment Objective, Principal Investment Strategies and Related Risks—Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund—Foreign (Non-U.S.) and Emerging Market Securities Risk" section of the Prospectus will be deleted and restated in its entirety as follows:* 

The Fund may invest without limit in foreign securities of companies in so-called "emerging markets" (or lesser developed countries). Investments in such securities are particularly speculative. Investing in foreign securities involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments, including, but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign economic, financial, political and social developments, such as, 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);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• different legal systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• less governmental supervision;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• regulation changes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• less publicly available information about foreign companies due to less rigorous disclosure and accounting
standards or regulatory practices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• high and volatile rates of inflation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• foreign currency devaluation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuating interest rates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• different accounting, auditing and financial record-keeping standards and requirements.

Investments in foreign securities, especially in emerging market countries, will expose the Fund to the direct or indirect consequences of political, social or economic changes in the countries that issue the securities or in which the issuers are located. 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. Certain countries in which the Fund may invest, especially emerging market countries, have historically experienced, and may continue to experience, high rates of inflation, high interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, large amounts of external debt, balance of payments and trade difficulties and extreme poverty and unemployment. Many of these countries are also characterized by political uncertainty and instability. The cost of servicing external debt will generally be adversely affected by rising international interest rates because many external debt obligations bear interest at rates which are adjusted based upon international interest rates. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries, there is a risk of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the possibility of expropriation of assets;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• confiscatory taxation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulty in obtaining or enforcing a court judgment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• economic, political or social instability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• diplomatic developments that could affect investments in those countries.

In addition, individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• growth of gross domestic product;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rates of inflation;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• capital reinvestment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• resources;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• self-sufficiency; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• balance of payments position.

To the extent the Fund's investments are focused in a geographic region or country, the Fund will be subject, to a greater extent than if the Fund's assets were less geographically focused, to the risks of adverse changes in that region or country. In addition, certain investments in foreign securities also may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes, which would reduce the Fund's return on those securities.

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 and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions. 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, 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 sometimes experienced substantial market disruptions and, accordingly, may do so in the future. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited. The economies of many emerging market countries may be heavily dependent on international trade and, accordingly, have 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. These economies also have been and may continue to be adversely affected by economic conditions of their international trading partners (including the United States). The reduction of foreign investment in the local economies or general declines in the international securities markets could have a significant adverse effect upon the securities markets of certain emerging market countries. In addition, the relatively high level of indebtedness of many emerging market countries and dependence on foreign borrowing also adds to the level of macroeconomic risk.

A small number of companies representing a limited number of industries may account for a significant percentage of an emerging market country's overall market and trading volume. Emerging market economies may be over-dependent on exports of commodities making these economies vulnerable to changes in prices of these commodities. Emerging market countries may have overburdened infrastructure and obsolete or unseasoned financial systems, environmental problems, less developed legal systems and less reliable custodial services and settlement practices.

Emerging securities markets are substantially smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets. The limited size of emerging securities markets and limited trading value compared to the volume of trading in U.S. securities could cause prices to be erratic for reasons apart from factors that affect the quality of the securities. For example, limited market size may cause prices to be unduly influenced by traders who control large positions. Adverse publicity and investors' perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and liquidity of portfolio securities, especially in these markets. Many emerging market countries have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates and corresponding currency devaluations have had and may continue to have negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries.

In the past, certain emerging market countries have experienced earthquakes, typhoons, tidal waves and other natural disasters varying in degrees of severity, and the risks of such phenomena, and damage resulting therefrom, will continue to exist. A major natural disaster could have a severe and negative impact on the Fund's investment portfolio and in the longer term could impair the ability of issuers in which the Fund invests to conduct their businesses in the manner currently conducted.

------

As a result of these potential risks, the Advisor or a Subadvisor may determine that, notwithstanding otherwise favorable investment criteria, it may not be practicable or appropriate to invest in a particular country. The Fund may invest in countries in which foreign investors, including the Advisor or a Subadvisor, have had no or limited prior experience.
