NAV change excludes distributions. Reported NAV total return includes reinvestment and is copied from the fund statement, not estimated by adding cash distributions to the NAV change.

Distribution and NAV evidence

Cash paid, opening and closing NAV, and the fund-reported NAV total return are separate observations. NAV change excludes distributions. These figures show outcomes, not which source funded a payment or whether future distributions are sustainable. Net investment income excludes investment gains and is not a payout-coverage ratio.

The income-producing business

Portfolio dividends and interest, realized investment results and any option activity contribute to distribution resources after expenses. A declared distribution can include gains or return of capital as well as investment income; its amount is not an earnings figure.

The earnings available to shareholders depend on the cash generated by these activities after operating and financing costs. Portfolio gains, financing proceeds and recurring income should be evaluated separately.

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.: financial report supporting reported earnings

Financing can amplify income and losses

The portfolio information checked September 11, 2026 reports effective leverage of 33.62%.

Financing can increase earning assets, but its cost reduces income available to common shareholders. When borrowing costs rise or portfolio income falls, the distribution can become harder to sustain.

What the reported earnings support

Cohen & Steers Select Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. reported $0.7000 per share for 2026-01-01 through 2026-06-30, measured as Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized.

Portfolio risk

Losses or weaker cash generation in preferred companies can reduce the resources available for future distributions.

Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.

Distribution sustainability

A maintained payment can exceed investment results. Review NAV and reported income together rather than treating distribution yield as total return.
