span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;"The Fund seeks to achieve attractive total returns over the long-term and to maximize real returns during inflationary environments. “Real returns” are defined as total returns adjusted for the effects of inflation. The Fund pursues its objectives through investments offering exposure to “real assets,” which the Fund defines as (i) real estate, commodities, natural resources, infrastructure and gold and other precious metals; (ii) companies that own or derive a significant portion of their value from such real assets or the production thereof; and (iii) other assets expected to perform well during periods of high inflation. /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;"Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;"allocating at least 80% of its net assets to U.S. and non-U.S. investments providing exposure to or investment in the following real asset classes: (i) real estate companies, including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”); (ii) commodities; (iii) natural resource companies; (iv) infrastructure companies; and (v) gold and other precious metals./spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;" The Fund may also invest in certain short-term fixed income /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;"securities to manage portfolio volatility.  The Fund will not seek to achieve specific environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision making./spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;"The Fund is actively managed by the Advisor. To pursue its goal, the Advisor combines a top-down approach, focused on identifying relative value across multiple classes of real assets, with bottom- up security selection based on fundamental research concentrated at the sector-, industry-, and security-levels, as well as quantitative commodity strategies. /span br/ br/span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;"When making allocation decisions, the Advisor conducts quantitative and qualitative analysis, aiming to optimize the balance between relative return potential and risk across asset classes. The goal of this process is to establish a target asset allocation for the Fund intended to meet its objectives while maintaining a risk/return profile that is consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives. In choosing investments at the asset class level, the Advisor, through its specialized investment teams, follows an active fundamental approach with respect to equity and fixed income investments, and a quantitative approach with respect to commodity-related investments, in each case focused on identifying what are believed to be securities or trading strategies possessing superior risk-adjusted return profiles. For each real asset allocation, the Advisor seeks to outperform a passive allocation to that asset class over a full market cycle. While the Fund is not constrained to allocate its investments among asset classes according to specific ranges, under normal circumstances the Advisor expects the Fund’s assets to be /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;"allocated to each asset class within the allocation ranges set forth in the table below. In addition, the Advisor has appointed a committee (the “Asset Allocation Committee”)  consisting of a select group of the Advisor’s senior investment professionals, to periodically review the Fund’s asset allocation and allocation targets. Actual allocations may vary at any time and may move and remain outside of these ranges for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, changes in investment outlook, market movements, cash flows into or out of the Fund and other factors, such as that securities held within one asset class will overlap with another asset class (/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;font-style:italic;"e.g., /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;"gold and other precious metals overlap with the commodities and natural resource companies asset classes)./spanspan style="border-bottom:0.5pt groove #000000;color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;"Asset Class/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;"Allocation/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;"Range/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"Real Estate Companies/REITs/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;width:27.49pt;"20-35/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"Commodities/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;width:27.49pt;"20-35/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"Natural Resource Companies/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;width:27.49pt;"10-20/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"Infrastructure Companies and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”)/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;width:27.49pt;"10-20/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"Gold and Other Precious Metals/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;width:27.49pt;"0-10/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"Fixed Income Securities/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.2pt;width:27.49pt;"0-20/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:11.02pt;"The Fund expects that it will achieve a significant portion of its exposure to commodities through investment in Cohen amp; Steers Real Assets Fund, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”).
