| Supplement to Prospectus [Text Block] | COHEN & STEERS FUTURE OF ENERGY FUND, INC. CLASS A (MLOAX), CLASS C (MLOCX), CLASS F (MLOFX), CLASS I (MLOIX), CLASS R (MLORX) AND CLASS Z (MLOZX) SHARES Supplement dated March 11, 2026 to Summary Prospectus dated April 1, 2025, Prospectus dated April 1, 2025, as supplemented on August 29, 2025 and February 9, 2026 and Statement of Additional Information dated March 1, 2026 At a meeting held on March 10, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc. (the “Target Fund”) approved the conversion of the Target 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 Board, including the Directors not deemed to be “interested persons” of the Target Fund pursuant to Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 determined the Conversion is in the best interests of the Target Fund and that the Conversion will not dilute the interests of the Target Fund’s shareholders. The Conversion is currently expected to occur on or about June 12, 2026. The Acquiring Fund’s investment goals, principal investment strategies, investment adviser, sub-advisors, and portfolio management team are expected to be the same as the Target Fund. The Acquiring Fund has not commenced investment operations, and its shares are not currently available to the public nor approved for listing on any exchange. Following the Conversion, it is expected that the Acquiring Fund’s shares will be offered to the public and traded on an exchange. This communication contains important information about the timeline of the Conversion and actions that shareholders may need to take in advance of the Conversion. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) approved by the Board, the Conversion will consist of (i) the acquisition of the assets and assumption of the liabilities of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund of equal value to the net assets of the Target Fund being acquired; (ii) the pro rata distribution of such shares to the shareholders of the Target Fund who hold shares of the Target Fund through accounts that are permitted to hold shares of the Acquiring Fund or the distribution of cash to the shareholders of the Target Fund who do not hold shares of the Target Fund through accounts that are permitted to hold shares of the Acquiring Fund equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of the Target Fund shares held by such shareholders, and (iii) the complete liquidation and dissolution of the Target Fund, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan The Plan also provides that Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Target Fund will be consolidated into Class I shares (without a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) or other charge) prior to the Conversion on or about June 5, 2026 (the “Share Class Consolidation”). On the day of the Conversion, any fractional shares held by shareholders will be redeemed and the redemption proceeds will be distributed to those shareholders. The distribution of redemption proceeds to shareholders may be a taxable event and those shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors to determine the effect of any such redemption. Target Fund shareholders who do not have a brokerage account that can hold Acquiring Fund shares at the time of the Conversion will not receive Acquiring Fund shares in connection with the Conversion and will, instead, receive cash equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of Target Fund shares held on the closing date of the Conversion. Such liquidation and receipt of cash may be a taxable event. It is anticipated that the Conversion will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and that shareholders will not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of their Target Fund shares for Acquiring Fund shares in connection with the Conversion, except to the extent that they receive cash from the Target Fund in connection with the Conversion (such as cash received from the liquidation of any fractional Target Fund shares held by a shareholder prior to the Conversion). Prior to the closing of the Conversion, the Target Fund may declare one or more distributions to shareholders out of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), net tax-exempt income, if any, and net capital gain, if any, in each case that is earned during the Target Fund’s current taxable year through the closing of the Conversion or any prior taxable period with respect to which the Target Fund is eligible to pay a dividend. Such distributions will be taxable to shareholders who hold their Target Fund shares in a taxable account. The following is a list of important changes to the Target Fund that will occur in connection with the Conversion. Additional information is available below.
Effective immediately, the following changes are made to the Summary Prospectus and Prospectus of the Target Fund: The last sentence of the first paragraph in the “Fund Fees and Expenses” section on pg. 1 of the Summary Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: Currently, R and Z shares of the Fund are publicly offered on a limited basis.

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.
