The Fund had a 2.51% total return in the six months ended April 30, 2026, compared with the Blended Benchmark,1 which returned 1.95%, and the ICE BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index, which returned 1.39%.
Security selection and an overweight allocation to the banking sector contributed to relative performance during the period versus the Blended Benchmark.1 This was driven by a preference for higher-coupon securities with wider credit spreads and good call protection, which generally outperformed tighter credit spread and longer-duration preferreds amid rising interest rates.
An underweight allocation in the insurance sector also contributed to relative performance. The sector includes a number of high-quality, lower-yielding Japanese life insurance issues that generated only modest total returns in the period.
Security selection in the pipeline sector further aided relative performance, led by an out-of-benchmark position in an issue from Venture Global. The security rose materially due to the liquefied natural gas exporter's exposure to spot LNG prices, which increased meaningfully amid the U.S.–Iran conflict.
Security selection in the telecommunications sector modestly detracted from relative performance, as an issue from Japan-based Softbank Group was pressured along with AI- and software-related investments.

The performance data quoted represent past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Current total returns of the Fund can be obtained by visiting our website at cohenandsteers.com. The Fund’s returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value (NAV). Shareholders should be aware that the Fund is managed within the context of separately managed account programs and not with the objective of matching or exceeding the Fund’s stated indexes, which are used for Fund reporting purposes. As such, comparisons of the Fund’s performance to that of the indicated indexes are not likely to be meaningful. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year are not annualized. Performance figures do not reflect the effect of fees and expenses associated with a separately managed account (SMA) program or fees paid to the investment advisor for SMA advisory services. Such fees are paid directly or indirectly by the SMA program sponsor to the investment advisor. The investment advisor does not charge an advisory fee to the Fund. The investment advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund so that the total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses, and other expenses approved by the Board of Directors) do not exceed 0.00%. This contractual agreement is currently expected to remain in place for the life of the Fund, can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund’s Board of Directors and the investment advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the investment advisor.
| (a) | The ICE BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index tracks the performance of fixed rate, U.S. dollar-denominated hybrid corporate and preferred securities publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The ICE BofA U.S. IG Institutional Capital Securities Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated investment grade hybrid capital corporate and preferred securities publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The Bloomberg Developed Market USD Contingent Capital Index includes hybrid capital securities in developed markets with explicit equity conversion or write down loss absorption mechanisms that are based on an issuer’s regulatory capital ratio or other explicit solvency-based triggers. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income SMA Shares, Inc. (the Fund) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on November 16, 2018 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return (high current income and capital appreciation). Investment operations commenced on March 1, 2019. Shares of the Fund are only offered to participants in separately managed account (SMA) programs and to certain non-program SMA clients that have an agreement with Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (the investment advisor).
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946—Investment Companies. The accounting policies of the Fund are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Portfolio Valuation: Investments in securities that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price reflected at the close of the NYSE on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices on such day or, if no ask price is available, at the bid price. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the prevailing forward exchange rate. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service.
Securities not listed on the NYSE but listed on other domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued in a similar manner. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price reflected at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If after the close of a foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued, market conditions change significantly, certain non-U.S. equity holdings may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors.
Readily marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by the investment advisor to be OTC, are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the investment advisor, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair value of such securities.
Fixed-income securities are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the investment advisor, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair value of such securities. The
22
Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income SMA Shares, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features which are then used to calculate the fair values.
Short-term debt securities with a maturity date of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value (NAV).
The Board of Directors has designated the investment advisor as the Fund’s “Valuation Designee” under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As Valuation Designee, the investment advisor is authorized to make fair valuation determinations, subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors. The investment advisor has established a valuation committee (Valuation Committee) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process according to the policies and procedures approved annually by the Board of Directors. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Securities for which market prices are unavailable, or securities for which the investment advisor determines that the bid and/or ask price or a counterparty valuation does not reflect market value, will be valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, pursuant to procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Circumstances in which market prices may be unavailable include, but are not limited to, when trading in a security is suspended, the exchange on which the security is traded is subject to an unscheduled close or disruption or material events occur after the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. In these circumstances, the Fund determines fair value in a manner that fairly reflects the market value of the security on the valuation date based on consideration of any information or factors it deems appropriate. These may include, but are not limited to, recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security and developments in the markets.
The Fund’s use of fair value pricing may cause the NAV of Fund shares to differ from the NAV that would be calculated using market quotations. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.
Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would expect to receive upon the sale of an investment or expect to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. The hierarchy of inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments is summarized below.
| • | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
23
Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income SMA Shares, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
| • | Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.) |
| • | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments may or may not be an indication of the risk associated with those investments. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The levels associated with valuing the Fund’s investments as of April 30, 2026 are disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends on foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign currency transaction gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, (excluding gains and losses on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are presented separately, if any), currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, on the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Pursuant to U.S. federal income tax regulations, certain foreign currency gains/losses included in realized and unrealized gains/losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The Fund enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with certain of its non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment between two parties to purchase or sell foreign currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency exchange contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked to market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation and/or depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. Realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was
24
Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income SMA Shares, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
opened and the value at the time it was closed are included in net realized gain or loss on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. For federal income tax purposes, the Fund has made an election to treat gains and losses from forward foreign currency exchange contracts as capital gains and losses.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the contract. Risks may also arise upon entering these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. In connection with these contracts, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts.
Centrally Cleared Interest Rate Swap Contracts: The Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate risk. An interest rate swap involves the exchange of cash flows based on interest rate specifications and a specified principal amount, often a fixed payment for a floating payment that is linked to an interest rate. Depending on the state of interest rates in general, the use of interest rate swaps could enhance or harm the overall performance of the Fund. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and changes in the value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations.
Immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral pledged for interest rate swap contracts. The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin on interest rate swap contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Any upfront payments paid or received upon entering into a swap agreement would be recorded as assets or liabilities, respectively, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Payments received from or paid to the counterparty during the term of the swap agreement, or at termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and counterparty risk, and exposure to loss in excess of the related amounts reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward, are typically
25
Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income SMA Shares, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
distributed to shareholders at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are paid in cash. Dividends from net investment income are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes.
Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (RIC), if such qualification is in the best interest of the shareholders, by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs, and by distributing substantially all of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. Also, in order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, the Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized gains on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Dividend and interest income from holdings in non-U.S. securities are recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and applicable state income tax returns as well as its tax positions in non-U.S. jurisdictions in which it trades for the current tax year and has concluded that as of April 30, 2026, no additional provisions for income tax are required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s tax positions for the current tax year for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, state departments of revenue and by foreign tax authorities.
Note 2. Investment Advisory Fees, Administration Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Advisory Fees: Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment advisor pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the investment advisory agreement). Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the investment advisor provides the Fund with day-to-day investment decisions and generally manages the Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors.
For its services under the investment advisory agreement, the investment advisor receives no investment advisory or other fees from the Fund. This arrangement recognizes that shares of the Fund are only offered to participants in SMA programs (each, a Program Participant) who pay fees to program sponsors (each, a Sponsor) for the costs and expenses of the programs, including fees for investment advice, custody and portfolio execution, and to certain non-program SMA clients of the investment advisor. When a Program Participant, alone or with his or her Sponsor, elects to allocate assets in an SMA to an investment strategy managed or advised by the investment advisor, the investment advisor typically receives a fee from the Sponsor for providing such advisory services to the SMA, including with respect to assets that may be invested in the Fund. In certain cases, a Program Participant will pay a fee for investment advice directly to the investment advisor in its capacity as advisor to the Program Participant’s SMA. Similarly, non-program SMA clients will pay fees directly to the investment advisor.
The investment advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund so that the total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses, and other expenses approved by the Board of Directors) do not exceed 0.00%. This contractual agreement is currently expected to remain in place for the life of the Fund, can only be terminated by agreement of the Fund’s Board of Directors and the investment advisor,
26
Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income SMA Shares, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the investment advisor. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed totaled $209,455.
Administration Fees: The Fund has entered into an administration agreement with the investment advisor under which the investment advisor performs certain administrative functions for the Fund. For its services under the administration agreement, the investment advisor receives no fees from the Fund. The Fund pays State Street Bank and Trust Company as co-administrator under a fund accounting and administration agreement.
Directors’ and Officers’ Fees: Certain directors and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or employees of the investment advisor. The Fund does not pay compensation to interested directors and officers, except for the Chief Compliance Officer who received compensation from the investment advisor, which was reimbursed by the Fund, in the amount of $1,281 for the six months ended April 30, 2026.
Note 3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2026, totaled $107,873,567 and $120,958,514, respectively.

Note 7. Other Risks
Preferred Securities Risk: Preferred securities are subject to credit risk, which is the risk that a security will decline in price, or the issuer of the security will fail to make dividend, interest or principal payments when due, because the issuer experiences a decline in its financial status. Preferred securities are also subject to interest rate risk and may decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates than would normally be the case in an environment of low interest rates and the effect of potential government fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives. In addition, an issuer may be permitted to defer or omit distributions. Preferred securities are also generally subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to redeem (call) its issue at par earlier than scheduled, and the Fund may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. Certain preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks. Generally, preferred security holders have no voting rights with respect to the issuing company unless certain events occur. Certain preferred securities may give the issuers special redemption rights allowing the securities to be redeemed prior to a specified date if certain events occur, such as changes to tax or securities laws.
Contingent Capital Securities Risk: Contingent capital securities (sometimes referred to as “CoCos”) are debt or preferred securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms of the security, for example, a mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances, such as the issuer’s capital ratio falling below a certain level. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced
29
Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income SMA Shares, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
income rate, potentially to zero, and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor, hence worsening the investor’s standing in a bankruptcy. Some CoCos provide for a reduction in the value or principal amount of the security (potentially to zero) under such circumstances. In March 2023, a Swiss regulator required a write-down of outstanding CoCos to zero notwithstanding the fact that the equity shares continued to exist and have economic value. It is currently unclear whether regulators of issuers in other jurisdictions will take similar actions. Notwithstanding these risks, the Fund intends to continue to invest in CoCos issued by Swiss companies and by companies in other jurisdictions. In addition, most CoCos are considered to be high yield or “junk” securities and are therefore subject to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade securities. Finally, CoCo issuers can, at their discretion, suspend dividend distributions on their CoCo securities and are more likely to do so in response to negative economic conditions and/or government regulation. Omitted distributions are typically non-cumulative and will not be paid on a future date. Any omitted distribution may negatively impact the returns or distribution rate of the Fund.
Credit and Below-Investment-Grade Securities Risk: Preferred securities may be rated below-investment-grade or may be unrated. Below-investment-grade securities, or equivalent unrated securities, which are commonly known as “high-yield bonds” or “junk bonds,” 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. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic conditions could disrupt the market for lower-rated 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.
Concentration Risk: Because the Fund invests at least 25% of its net assets in the financials sector, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting this sector, such as changes in interest rates, loan concentration and competition. In addition, the Fund will also be subject to the risks of investing in the individual industries and securities that comprise the financials sector, including the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, utilities, pipelines, health care and telecommunications, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with these particular sectors and industries. These sectors and industries may be adversely affected by, among others, changes in government regulation, world events and economic conditions.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that particular investments of the Fund may become difficult to sell or purchase. 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. In addition, dealer inventories of certain securities, which provide an indication of the ability of dealers to engage in “market making,” are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which has the potential to increase price volatility in the fixed income markets in which the Fund invests. Federal banking regulations may also cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of certain securities, which may further decrease the Fund’s ability to buy or sell such securities. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of
30
Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income SMA Shares, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
which could have a negative effect on performance. Further, transactions in less liquid or illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Liquidity risk also includes the risk that market conditions or large shareholder redemptions may impact the ability of the Fund to meet redemption requests within required time periods. In order to meet such redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell securities at inopportune times or prices.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) and Emerging Market Securities Risk: The Fund directly purchases securities of foreign issuers. 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 and possible imposition of foreign withholding taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities. 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. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
Foreign Currency Risk: Although the Fund will report its NAV and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund’s investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Fund’s NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks, and such investments are subject to the risks described under “Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk” below.
Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk: The Fund’s 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 counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, 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.
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 and increasing political polarization around issues such as trade policy, monetary policy and the U.S. debt ceiling.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
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. While the full extent of all of these regulations is still unclear, 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.
Cybersecurity 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 investment advisor), 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 investment advisor, or a custodian, transfer agent,
32
Cohen & Steers Preferred Securities and Income SMA Shares, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Each of the Fund and the investment advisor 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.
This is not a complete list of the risks of investing in the Fund. For additional information concerning the risks of investing in the Fund, please consult the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 8. Operating Segments
An operating segment is defined in ASC Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The executive committee of the Fund’s investment advisor and the Fund’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer act as the Fund’s CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio managers as a team. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s total returns, expense ratios, subscriptions and redemptions, which are used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance versus the Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements.
Note 9. Other
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 10. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events and transactions occurring after April 30, 2026 through the date that the financial statements were issued, and has determined that no additional disclosure in the financial statements is required.
