The share class had a 29.68% total return in the six months ended May 31, 2026, compared with the Linked Index,1 which returned 26.39%, and the MSCI World Index - net, which returned 11.38%.
Stock selection in the integrated oils sector helped the Fund's relative performance in the period compared with the Linked Index,1 led by an out-of-benchmark position in Cenovus Energy. The Canada-based energy producer had a sizable gain, benefiting from strong earnings growth and an announced dividend increase. The Fund's out-of-benchmark allocation to infrastructure construction companies also aided performance, as these holdings generated strong returns. Stock selection in the midstream oil & gas sector further contributed to performance, in part due to a non-investment in pipeline owner Kinder Morgan, which rose but trailed the benchmark.
Factors that detracted from relative performance included the Fund's non-benchmark allocation to integrated electric utilities, which had only a small gain in the portfolio. An underweight in oilfield services & equipment also hindered returns, as the sector rose more than 40% in the benchmark. The Fund's out-of-benchmark position in base metals producers weighed on relative performance as well. The allocation consisted of two uranium operators that were strong performers in 2025, but then struggled in 2026 as the Iran conflict disrupted the nuclear and uranium value chains.

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. All share class returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value (NAV). Fund performance figures reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, without which the performance would have been lower. Performance quoted does not reflect the deduction of the maximum 4.50% initial sales charge on Class A shares or the 1.00% maximum contingent deferred sales charge on Class C shares. The 1.00% maximum contingent deferred sales charge on Class C shares applies if redemption occurs on or before the one year anniversary date of their purchase. If such charges were included, returns would have been lower. Index performance does not reflect the deduction of any fees, taxes or expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. Performance figures for periods shorter than one year are not annualized.
Please note that all distributions paid by the Fund to shareholders are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes and are taxable up to the amount of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains are return of capital distributed from the Fund’s assets. Return of capital distributions decrease the Fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s expense ratio.
| (a) |
The returns shown are based on NAVs calculated for shareholder transactions and may differ from the returns shown in the Financial Highlights, which reflect adjustments made to the NAVs in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). |
| (b) |
The MSCI World Index—net is a free-float-adjusted index that measures performance of large- and mid-capitalization companies representing developed market countries and is net of dividend withholding taxes. The S&P Energy Select Sector Index is a modified market cap index comprised of energy-related companies within the S&P 500, as defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) energy sector classification. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 8, 2013 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide attractive total return, comprised of current income and price appreciation. The authorized shares of the Fund are divided into six classes designated Class A, C, F, I, R and Z shares. Each of the Fund’s shares has equal dividend, liquidation and voting rights (except for matters relating to distribution and shareholder servicing of such shares). Class F shares are currently not available for purchase.
At a meeting held on March 10, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Fund approved the conversion of the Fund into an exchange-traded fund, the Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Active ETF, a newly created series of the Cohen & Steers ETF Trust (the Conversion). The Conversion did not require shareholder approval and occurred on June 12, 2026. In connection with the Conversion, on March 11, 2026, Class R and Z shares of the Fund became available on a limited basis and on June 5, 2026, Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares were consolidated into Class I shares (without a CDSC or other charge). For more information regarding the Conversion, investors should refer to the combined Prospectus/Information Statement on file with the SEC.
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. Exchange-traded options are valued at their last sale price as of the close of options trading on the applicable exchanges on the valuation date, when supported by sufficient trading volume, or otherwise based on prices provided by a third-party pricing service. Over-the-counter (OTC) options are valued based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service or counterparty.
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,
15
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
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 OTC market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. (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.
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.
Foreign equity fair value pricing procedures utilized by the Fund may cause certain non-U.S. equity holdings to be fair valued on the basis of fair value factors provided by a pricing service to reflect any significant market movements between the time the Fund values such securities and the earlier closing of foreign 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
16
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
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 |
| • |
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 securities 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 May 31, 2026 are disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expense Allocations: Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost. 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. Distributions from common stock and Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) are recorded as income and return of capital based on information reported by the securities and management’s estimates of such amounts based on historical information. These estimates are adjusted when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by these securities and actual amounts may differ from the estimated amounts. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
Option Contracts: The Fund may purchase and write exchange-listed and OTC put or call options on securities, stock indices and other financial instruments for hedging purposes, to enhance portfolio returns and/or reduce overall volatility.
When the Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When an option expires, the Fund realizes a gain on the option to the extent of the premium received. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security purchased by the Fund. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds of the security sold to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying investment. Other risks include the possibility of an illiquid options market or the inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.
Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid
17
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss when the underlying transaction is executed. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.
At May 31, 2026, the Fund did not have any option contracts outstanding.
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 exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, 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 exchange 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 gain/loss 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 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
18
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
contracts. In connection with these contracts, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts.
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 quarterly. Net realized capital gains, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward, are typically distributed to shareholders at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are automatically reinvested in full and fractional shares of the Fund based on the NAV per share at the close of business on the payable date, unless the shareholder has elected to have them 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 is 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 all open tax years and has concluded that as of May 31, 2026, no additional provisions for income tax are required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s tax positions for the tax years 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 the services provided to the Fund, the investment advisor receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.80% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
For the six months ended May 31, 2026, and through June 30, 2027, the investment advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses), did not exceed 1.25% for Class A shares, 1.90% for Class C shares, 0.90% for Class I shares, 1.40% for Class R shares and 0.90% for Class Z shares. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Board of Directors and the investment advisor and
19
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and investment advisor. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed totaled $201,825.
Under subadvisory agreements between the investment advisor and each of Cohen & Steers Asia Limited and Cohen & Steers UK Limited (collectively, the subadvisors), affiliates of the investment advisor, the subadvisors are responsible for managing the Fund’s investments in certain non-U.S. holdings. For their services provided under the subadvisory agreements, the investment advisor (not the Fund) pays the subadvisors. The investment advisor allocates 50% of the investment advisory fee received from the Fund among itself and each subadvisor based on the portion of the Fund’s average daily net assets managed by the investment advisor and each subadvisor.
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 and receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, the Fund incurred $37,080 in fees under this administration agreement. Additionally, the Fund pays State Street Bank and Trust Company as co-administrator under a fund accounting and administration agreement.
Distribution Fees: Shares of the Fund are distributed by Cohen & Steers Securities, LLC (the distributor), an affiliated entity of the investment advisor. The Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which allows the Fund to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its shares. The plan provides that the Fund will pay the distributor a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares, up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares and up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. In addition, with respect to Class R shares, such amounts may also be used to pay for services to Fund shareholders or services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
There is a maximum initial sales charge of 4.50% for Class A shares. There is a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% on purchases of $1 million or more of Class A shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase. There is a CDSC of 1.00% on Class C shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase. For the six months ended May 31, 2026, the Fund has been advised that the distributor received $1,994, which represents a portion of the sales commissions paid by shareholders from the sale of Class A shares, and $9 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The distributor has advised the Fund that proceeds from the CDSC on these classes are used by the distributor to defray its expenses related to providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of these classes, including payments to dealers and other financial intermediaries for selling these classes. The payment of a CDSC may result in the distributor receiving amounts greater or less than the upfront commission paid by the distributor to the financial intermediary.
In connection with the Conversion, effective March 11, 2026, initial sales charges on Class A shares and CDSCs were suspended.
20
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
Shareholder Servicing Fees: For shareholder services, the Fund pays the distributor or its affiliates a fee, accrued daily, at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A and Class I shares and up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class C shares. The distributor is responsible for paying qualified financial institutions for shareholder services.
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 $464 for the six months ended May 31, 2026.
Note 3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended May 31, 2026, totaled $137,310,055 and $102,299,298, respectively.

Note 7. Other Risks
Energy Sector Risk: The Fund will be subject to more risks related to the energy sector than if the Fund were more broadly diversified over numerous sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy sector of the economy could have a larger impact on the Fund than on an investment company that does not concentrate in the sector. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the sector has lagged the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Recent uncertainty in the energy markets has had an adverse effect on energy-related securities, and it is unclear when these markets may stabilize. In addition, there are several specific risks associated with investments in the energy sector, including the following: fluctuations in commodity prices; reduced volumes of energy commodities available for transporting, processing, storing or distributing; slowdowns in new construction and acquisitions that can limit growth potential; reduced demand for energy commodities;depletion of energy commodities; regulatory changes; rising interest rates; extreme weather or other natural disasters; and terrorism, war, sanctions, trade disruptions and other geopolitical risks.
Market Volatility Risk: The Fund’s strategy of focusing its investments in equity securities of energy and energy-related companies means that the performance of the Fund will be closely tied to the performance of the energy infrastructure industry. Recent market volatility in the energy markets has significantly affected the performance of the energy infrastructure industry, as well as the performance of the energy and energy-related companies in which the Fund invests. In addition, volatility in the energy markets may affect the ability of energy and energy-related companies to finance capital expenditures and new acquisitions and to maintain or increase distributions to investors due to a lack of access to capital.
Utilities Sector Risks: Companies in the utilities sector are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs associated with capital construction and improvement programs; difficulty in raising adequate capital in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets; governmental regulation of rates the issuer can charge to customers; costs associated with compliance with environmental and other regulations; effects of economic slowdowns and surplus capacity; the potential impact of natural disasters and terrorist
24
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
attacks on the utility industry and its customers; increased competition; potential losses resulting from a changes in regulations; and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities.
Clean Energy Risk: Many clean energy companies are involved in the development and commercialization of new technologies, which may be subject to delays resulting from budget constraints, technological difficulties, or public and regulatory opposition. Clean energy companies may be highly dependent upon government subsidies, contracts with government entities, and the successful development of new and proprietary technologies. In addition, seasonal weather conditions, fluctuations in the supply of and demand for clean energy products, changes in energy prices, and international political events may cause fluctuations in the performance of clean energy companies and the prices of their securities.
Renewable Companies Risk: Renewable companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including costs and losses associated with environmental and other regulations and enforcement policies or changes thereto, obsolescence of its existing offerings, the effects of economic slowdown, short production cycles, increased competition from other providers of services, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors.
Because many renewable companies may be concentrated in a particular industry or industry sector (for example, the energy sector), they are subject to risks associated with such industry or sector. Renewable energy companies may be more volatile than companies operating in more established industries. Renewable energy companies and other companies operating in the renewable energy group of industries are subject to specific risks, including, among others: fluctuations in commodity prices and/or interest rates; the success of research or exploration projects, changes in governmental or environmental regulation; reduced availability of renewable energy sources or other commodities for transporting, processing, storing or delivering resources; slowdowns in new construction; seasonal weather conditions, extreme weather or other natural disasters; and threats of attack by terrorists on certain clean energy assets. Additionally, the industry also can be significantly affected by the supply of and demand for specific products or services, including the supply of and demand and price of traditional energy sources (e.g., oil and gas).
Interest Rate Risk to Energy and Energy-Related Companies Risk: Rising interest rates could increase the costs of capital thereby increasing operating costs and reducing the ability of Energy and Energy-Related Companies to carry out acquisitions or expansions in a cost-effective manner. As a result, rising interest rates could negatively affect the financial performance of Energy and Energy-Related Companies. Rising interest rates may also impact the price of the securities of Energy and Energy-Related Companies as the yields on alternative investments increase.
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.
25
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
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. 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. 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
26
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the investment advisor, or a custodian, transfer agent, 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.
MLP Risk: An investment in MLP units involves some risks that differ from an investment in the common stock of a corporation. Holders of MLP units have limited control on matters affecting the partnership. Investing in MLPs involves certain risks related to investing in the underlying assets of the MLPs and risks associated with pooled investment vehicles. MLPs holding credit-related investments are subject to interest rate risk and the risk of default on payment obligations by debt issuers. MLPs that concentrate in a particular industry or industry sector (for example, the energy sector) or a particular geographic region are subject to risks associated with such industry, sector or region. The benefit derived from the Fund’s investment in MLPs is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.
Counterparty Risk: Weakening energy market fundamentals may increase counterparty risk and impact MLP profitability. Specifically, energy companies suffering financial distress may be able to abrogate contracts with MLPs, decreasing or eliminating sources of revenue.
Liquidity Risk: Although the equity securities, including those of the MLPs, in which the Fund invests generally trade on major stock exchanges, certain securities may trade less frequently, particularly those of MLPs and other issuers with smaller capitalizations. Securities with limited trading volumes may display volatile or erratic price movements. Also, the Fund may be one of the largest investors in certain sub-sectors of the energy or natural resource sectors. Thus, it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy and sell significant amounts of such securities without an unfavorable impact on prevailing market prices. Larger purchases or sales of these securities by the Fund in a short period of time may cause abnormal movements in the market price of these securities. As a result, these securities may be difficult to dispose of at a fair price at the times when the investment advisor believes it is desirable to do so.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) 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.
Non-Diversification Risk: As a “non-diversified” investment company, the Fund can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified investment company. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to any single political, regulatory or economic occurrence and to the financial condition
27
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
of individual issuers in which it invests. The Fund’s relative lack of diversity may subject investors to greater risk of loss than a fund that has a diversified portfolio.
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
At a meeting held on March 10, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Fund approved the conversion of the 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 Conversion did not require shareholder approval and occurred on June 12, 2026.
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Board, the Conversion was a tax-free reorganization that consisted of (i) the acquisition of the assets and assumption of the liabilities of the Fund by the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund of equal value to the net assets of the Fund; (ii) the pro rata distribution of such shares to the shareholders of the Fund who held shares of the Fund through accounts that are permitted to hold ETF shares or the distribution of cash to the shareholders of the Fund who did not hold Fund shares through accounts that are permitted to hold ETF shares equal in value to the aggregate NAV of the Fund shares held by such shareholders, and (iii) the complete liquidation and dissolution of the Fund.
28
Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)—(Continued)
The Acquiring Fund is managed by the same portfolio management team and pursues the same investment objectives as the Fund. The Acquiring Fund charges a unitary management fee at an annual rate of 0.80% of the average daily net assets of the ETF. Additionally, the Acquiring Fund has adopted the historical accounting records and performance of the Fund’s Class I shares. In connection with the Conversion, Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares of the Fund were consolidated into Class I shares (without a CDSC or other charge) on June 5, 2026. Effective June 1, 2026, Distribution (12b-1) Fees on Class A, C and R shares were waived.
The final day for all investors to purchase shares of the Fund was June 10, 2026 and the final day to redeem or exchange out of the Fund was June 11, 2026. For more information regarding the Conversion, investors should refer to the combined Prospectus/Information Statement on file with the SEC.

Please note that distributions paid by the Fund to shareholders are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes and are taxable up to the amount of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and net realized gains. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s net investment company taxable income and realized gains are a return of capital distributed from the Fund’s assets. The final tax treatment of all distributions is reported to shareholders on their 1099-DIV forms, which are mailed after the close of each calendar year. Distributions of capital decrease the Fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s expense ratio. In addition, in order to make these distributions, the Fund’s may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.
