Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred & Income Fund, Inc. semi-annual shareholder reportas of October 31, 2025 Class A- LPXAX |

| Class name | Costs of a $10,000 investment |
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment (annualized) |
| Class A | $47 | 0.91% |
The share class had a 5.15% total return in the six months ended October 31, 2025, compared with the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index, which returned 2.72%, and the ICE BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index, which returned 7.15%.
The Fund's benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index, focuses on investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities of one to three years. The Fund's primary objective is to provide high current income, and its secondary objective is to provide capital preservation; we believe this is consistent with the benchmark over time. However, to meet its objectives, the Fund invests in low-duration preferred securities as well as shorter-term corporate bonds.
The Fund's allocations to preferreds, contingent capital securities (CoCos) and corporate debt securities with maturities greater than one year helped relative performance versus the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index. The Fund's allocations to preferreds, CoCos and corporate debt with less than one year to maturity modestly detracted from relative performance.
By sector, the Fund's allocations to preferred securities in the banking, utilities and insurance sectors contributed to relative performance. The Fund's allocation to total return swaps and interest rate swaps (used with the intention of managing credit and interest rate risk, respectively) weighed on relative performance.

| Class name | Costs of a $10,000 investment |
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment (annualized) |
| Class Z | $31 | 0.60% |
The share class had a 5.39% total return in the six months ended October 31, 2025, compared with the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index, which returned 2.72%, and the ICE BofA U.S. All Capital Securities Index, which returned 7.15%.
The Fund's benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index, focuses on investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities of one to three years. The Fund's primary objective is to provide high current income, and its secondary objective is to provide capital preservation; we believe this is consistent with the benchmark over time. However, to meet its objectives, the Fund invests in low-duration preferred securities as well as shorter-term corporate bonds.
The Fund's allocations to preferreds, contingent capital securities (CoCos) and corporate debt securities with maturities greater than one year helped relative performance versus the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Index. The Fund's allocations to preferreds, CoCos and corporate debt with less than one year to maturity modestly detracted from relative performance.
By sector, the Fund's allocations to preferred securities in the banking, utilities and insurance sectors contributed to relative performance. The Fund's allocation to total return swaps and interest rate swaps (used with the intention of managing credit and interest rate risk, respectively) weighed on relative performance.

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 2.00% 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.
| (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 1-3Year U.S. Corporate Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market, with a remaining term to final maturity of less than three years. The ICE BofA 8% Constrained Developed Markets Low Duration Capital Securities Custom Index tracks the performance of select U.S. dollar-denominated fixed and floating-rate preferred, corporate and contingent capital securities, with issuer exposure capped at 8%, and with a remaining term to final maturity of one year or more, but less than five years. The ICE BofA 1-5Year U.S. Corporate Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated investment-grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market with a remaining term to final maturity of less than five years. |

Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
The Fund makes regular monthly distributions at a level rate (the Policy). Distributions paid by the Fund 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. As a result of the Policy, the Fund may pay distributions in excess of the Fund's investment company taxable income and net realized gains. This excess would be a return of capital distributed from the Fund's assets. 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 may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on September 2, 2015 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, open-endmanagement investment company. The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek to provide high current income and its secondary objective is to provide capital preservation. 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).
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. Over-the-counter(OTC) options and total return swap contracts are valued based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service or counterparty. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse.
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 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.
29
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
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 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-endmutual 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-5under 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

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 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 October 31, 2025 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. 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-dividenddate, except for certain dividends on foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividenddate. 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.
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.
31
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
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 contracts. In connection with these contracts, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective contracts.
Over-the-CounterTotal Return Swap Contracts: In a total return swap, one party receives a periodic payment equal to the total return of a specified security, basket of securities, index, or other reference asset for a specified period of time. In return, the other party receives a fixed or variable stream of payments, typically based upon short-term interest rates, possibly plus or minus an agreed upon spread. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the value of the swap are recorded as unrealized appreciation and depreciation. Periodic payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations. The Fund bears the risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty. Risks may also arise from unanticipated movements in the value of exchange rates, interest rates, securities, index, or other reference asset.
At October 31, 2025, the Fund did not have any total return swap contracts outstanding.
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.
32
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
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 distributed to shareholders at least annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividenddate 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 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 all open tax years and has concluded that as of October 31, 2025, 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

For the six months ended October 31, 2025, fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed totaled $1,788,268.
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.

The plan provides that the Fund will pay the distributor a monthly distribution fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of up to 0.25%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares, respectively. In addition, also under the plan, the Fund may pay the distributor a monthly service fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of up to 0.10% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The amounts paid pursuant to the plan for Class A, Class C and Class R shares may also be used to pay for services to Fund shareholders or services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
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 I shares. The distributor is responsible for paying qualified financial institutions for shareholder services.
Sales Charges and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges:There is a maximum initial sales charge of 2.00% for Class A shares. There is a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% on purchases of $500,000 or more of Class A shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase.

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.
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 $5,172 for the six months ended October 31, 2025.

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
38
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
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.
Risks associated with preferred securities differ from risks inherent with other investments. In particular, in the event of bankruptcy, a company's preferred securities are senior to common stock but subordinated to all other types of corporate debt. Corporate bonds sit higher in the capital structure than preferred securities, and therefore in the event of bankruptcy, will be senior to the preferred securities.
Duration Risk: Duration is a mathematical calculation of the average life of a fixed-income or preferred security that serves as a measure of the security's price risk to changes in interest rates (or yields). Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate (or yield) changes than securities with shorter durations. Duration differs from maturity in that it considers potential changes to interest rates, and a security's coupon payments, yield, price and par value and call features, in addition to the amount of time until the security matures. Various techniques may be used to shorten or lengthen the Fund's duration. The duration of a security will be expected to change over time with changes in market factors and time to maturity.
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
39
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
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 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.
Foreign (Non-U.S.)and Emerging Market Securities Risk:The Fund directly purchases securities of foreign issuers. Risks of investing in foreign securities 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.
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 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 may 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
Omitted distributions are typically non-cumulativeand will not be paid on a future date. Any omitted distribution may negatively impact the returns or distribution rate of the Fund.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk:Geopolitical events, such as war (including ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East), terrorist attacks, natural or environmental disasters (including hurricanes, wildfires, and flooding), country instability, public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers and other governmental trade or market control programs, the potential exit of a country from its respective union and related geopolitical events, have led and may in the future lead to market volatility and may have long-lasting impacts on U.S. and global economies and financial markets. Supply chain disruptions or significant changes in the supply or prices of commodities or other economic inputs may have material and unexpected effects on both global securities markets and individual countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries. Events occurring in one region of the world may negatively impact industries and regions that are not otherwise directly impacted by the events. Additionally, those events, as well as other changes in foreign and domestic political and economic conditions, could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, secondary trading, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Fund's investments.
Russia's military invasion of Ukraine significantly amplified already existing geopolitical tensions. The U.S. and many other countries have instituted various economic sanctions against Russia, Russian individuals and entities and Belarus. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions imposed and other punitive actions taken (including any Russian retaliatory responses to such sanctions and actions), and resulting disruptions in Europe and globally cannot be predicted, but could be significant and have a severe adverse effect on the global economy, securities markets and commodities markets globally, including through global supply chain disruptions, increased inflationary pressures and reduced economic activity.
Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East could have similar negative impacts. The possibility of a prolonged conflict, and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the oil and natural gas markets.
Systemic risk events in the financial sectors and/or resulting government actions can negatively impact investments held by the Fund. For example, issues with certain regional U.S. banks and other financial institutions in March 2023 raised economic concerns over disruption in the U.S. banking system. These risks also may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms, and exchanges, with which the Fund interacts. There can be no certainty that any actions taken by the U.S. government to strengthen public confidence in the U.S. banking system or financial markets will be effective in mitigating the effects of financial institution failures on the economy and restoring or maintaining public confidence. In addition, raising the U.S. Government debt ceiling has become increasingly politicized. Any failure to increase the total amount that the U.S. Government is authorized to borrow could lead to a default on U.S. Government obligations. A default or a threat of default by
41
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
the U.S. Government would be highly disruptive to the U.S. and global securities markets and could significantly reduce the value of the Fund's investments.
The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies may, among other things, adversely affect the Fund's investments denominated in non-U.S.dollar currencies. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have, and the duration of those effects.
The rapid development and increasingly widespread use and regulation of artificial intelligence, including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (collectively, AI Technologies), may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the rapid advanced development of AI Technologies and efforts to regulate or control its use and advancement may have significant positive or negative impacts on a wide range of different industries and the global economy. It is not possible to predict which companies, sectors, or economies may benefit or be disadvantaged by such developments, nor is it possible to determine the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.
Some political leaders around the world (including in the U.S. and certain European nations) have been and may be elected on protectionist platforms, raising questions about the future of global free trade. Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers and bilateral trade frictions, together with any future downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, could adversely affect the financial performance of the Fund and its 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 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, 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.
Shareholder Concentration Risk: The Fund may have one or more large shareholders or a group of shareholders investing in Fund shares indirectly through an account, platform or program sponsored by a financial institution. Investment and asset allocation decisions by such financial institutions regarding the account, platform or program through which multiple shareholders invest may result in subscription and redemption decisions that have a significant impact on the assets, expenses and trading activities of the Fund. Such a decision may cause the Fund to sell assets (or invest cash) at disadvantageous times or prices, increase or accelerate taxable gains or transaction costs and may negatively affect the Fund's NAV, performance, or ability to satisfy redemptions in a timely manner.
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
43
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)
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-determinedin 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. New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" (ASU 2023-09). ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance income tax disclosures, including disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the new standard will impact financial statement disclosures only and will not affect any Fund's financial position or the results of its operations.
Note 11. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events and transactions occurring after October 31, 2025 through the date that the financial statements were issued, and has determined that no additional disclosure in the financial statements is required.

Disclosures of the Fund's complete holdings are required to be made monthly on Form N-PORT,with every third month made available to the public by the SEC 60 days after the end of the Fund's fiscal quarter. The Fund's Form N-PORTis available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 800-330-7348or (ii) on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
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 investment company taxable income and net realized gains are a return of capital distributed from the Fund's assets. To the extent this occurs, the Fund's shareholders of record will be notified of the estimated amount of capital returned to shareholders for each such distribution and this information will also be available at cohenandsteers.com. The final tax treatment of all distributions is reported to shareholders on their 1099-DIVforms, 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 may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Board of Directors of the Fund (the Board), including a majority of the directors who are not parties to the Fund's investment advisory agreement (the Advisory Agreement), or interested persons of any such party (the Independent Directors), has the responsibility under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Fund's Advisory Agreement for its initial two year term and its continuation annually thereafter at a meeting of the Board called for the purpose of voting on the approval or continuation. The Advisory Agreement was discussed at a meeting of the Independent Directors, in their capacity as the Contract Review Committee, held on June 3, 2025, and at a meeting of the full Board held on June 17, 2025. The Independent Directors, in their capacity as the Contract Review Committee, also discussed the Advisory Agreement in executive sessions on June 16 and 17, 2025. At the meeting of the full Board on June 17, 2025, the Advisory Agreement was unanimously continued for a term ending June 30, 2026, by the Board, including the Independent Directors. The Independent Directors were represented by independent counsel who assisted them in their deliberations during the meetings and executive sessions.
In considering whether to continue the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed materials provided by an independent data provider, which included, among other items, fee, expense and performance information compared to peer funds (the Peer Funds and, collectively with the Fund, the Peer Group) and performance comparisons to a larger category universe; summary information prepared by the Fund's investment advisor (the Investment Advisor); and a memorandum from counsel to the Independent Directors outlining the legal duties of the Board. The Board also considered a supplemental peer group compiled by the Investment Advisor when evaluating the Fund's performance and fees and expenses; the Investment Advisor believes the supplemental peer group is more representative of the Fund's investment strategy because most Peer Funds are not short duration funds, and the Fund has a different investment objective than most Peer Funds. The Board also spoke directly with a representative of the independent data provider and met with investment advisory personnel. In addition, the Board considered information provided from time to time by the Investment Advisor throughout the year at meetings of the Board, including presentations by portfolio managers relating to the investment performance of the Fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Fund's objective. The Board also considered information provided by the Investment Advisor in response to a request for information submitted by counsel to the Independent Directors, on behalf of the Independent Directors, as well as information provided by the Investment Advisor in response to a supplemental request. In particular, the Board considered the following:
(i) The nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Investment Advisor: The Board reviewed the services that the Investment Advisor provides to the Fund, including, but not limited to, making the day-to-dayinvestment decisions for the Fund, placing orders for the investment and reinvestment of the Fund's assets, furnishing information to the Board regarding the Fund's portfolio, providing individuals to serve as Fund officers, and generally managing the Fund's investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund. The Board also discussed with officers and portfolio managers of the Fund the types of transactions conducted on behalf of the Fund. Additionally, the Board took into account the services provided by the Investment Advisor to its other funds and accounts, including those that have investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Board also considered the education, background and experience of the
46
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
Investment Advisor's personnel, particularly noting the potential benefit that the portfolio managers' work experience and favorable reputation can have on the Fund. The Board further noted the Investment Advisor's ability to attract qualified and experienced personnel. The Board also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Advisor, including compliance and accounting services. After consideration of the above factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Advisor are satisfactory and appropriate.
(ii) Investment performance of the Fund and the Investment Advisor: The Board considered the investment performance of the Fund compared to Peer Funds and compared to a relevant benchmark and a relevant blended benchmark. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the Peer Group median for the three-year period and underperformed the Peer Group medians for the one-and five-year periods ended March 31, 2025, ranking the Fund one out of seven peers, five out of seven peers and six out of six peers, respectively. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed the relevant benchmark for the one-,three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2025. The Board noted that the Fund was in-linewith the relevant blended benchmark for the three-year period and underperformed the relevant blended benchmark for the one-and five-year periods ended March 31, 2025. The Board also considered the Fund's performance compared to a supplemental peer group compiled by the Investment Advisor, and noted that the Fund outperformed the supplemental peer group median for the one-year period, was in-linewith the supplemental peer group median for the three-year period and underperformed the supplemental peer group median for the five-year period ended March 31, 2025, ranking one out of sixteen, nine out of sixteen and nine out of sixteen peers, respectively. The Board engaged in discussions with the Investment Advisor regarding the contributors to and detractors from the Fund's performance. The Board also considered supplemental information provided by the Investment Advisor, including a narrative summary of various factors affecting performance and the Investment Advisor's performance in managing similarly managed funds and accounts. The Board determined that Fund performance, in light of all the considerations noted above, supported the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.
(iii) Cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Investment Advisor from the relationship with the Fund: The Board considered the contractual and actual management fees paid by the Fund as well as the Fund's total expense ratio. As part of its analysis, the Board gave consideration to the fee and expense analyses provided by the independent data provider. The Board noted that the Fund's actual management fee was lower than the Peer Group median and the total expense ratio was the lowest in the Peer Group, ranking the Fund two out of seven peers and one out of seven peers, respectively. The Board also considered the Fund's fees and expenses versus the supplemental peer group compiled by the Investment Advisor and noted that the Fund's actual management fee versus the supplemental peer group was in-linewith the supplemental peer group median, ranking eleven out of sixteen peers. The Board further noted that the Fund's overall total expense ratio versus the supplemental peer group was in-linewith the supplemental peer group median, ranking nine out of sixteen peers. The Board considered that the Investment Advisor continues to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit the overall operating expenses of the Fund. In light of all the considerations above, the Board concluded that the Fund's current expense structure was satisfactory.
47
Cohen & Steers Low Duration Preferred and Income Fund, Inc.
The Board also reviewed information regarding the profitability to the Investment Advisor of its relationship with the Fund. The Board considered the level of the Investment Advisor's profits and whether the profits were reasonable for the Investment Advisor. The Board noted that the Investment Advisor is currently waiving a portion of its fee and/or reimbursing expenses of the Fund. The Board took into consideration other benefits to be derived by the Investment Advisor in connection with the Advisory Agreement, noting particularly the research and related services, within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that the Investment Advisor receives by allocating the Fund's brokerage transactions. The Board further considered that the Investment Advisor continues to reinvest profits back in the business, including upgrading and/or implementing new trading, compliance and accounting systems, and by adding investment personnel to the portfolio management teams. The Board also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Advisor and the associated administration fee paid to the Investment Advisor for such services under the Administration Agreement. The Board determined that the services received under the Administration Agreement are beneficial to the Fund. The Board concluded that the profits realized by the Investment Advisor from its relationship with the Fund were reasonable and consistent with the Investment Advisor's fiduciary duties.
(iv) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale: The Board noted that the Investment Advisor is currently waiving a portion of its fee and/or reimbursing expenses to limit the overall operating expenses of the Fund. In light of the considerations above, the Board determined that economies of scale are being shared with shareholders and will continue to be shared with shareholders, concluding that the Fund's expense structure was satisfactory. In considering economies of scale, the Board also noted, as discussed above in (iii), that the Investment Advisor continues to reinvest profits back in the business.
(v) Comparison of services to be rendered and fees to be paid to those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisors or other clients: As discussed above in (iii), the Board compared the fees paid under the Advisory Agreement to those under other investment advisory contracts of other investment advisors managing Peer Funds. The Board also compared the services rendered and fees paid under the Advisory Agreement to fees paid, including the ranges of such fees, under the Investment Advisor's other fund advisory agreements and advisory contracts with institutional and other clients with similar investment mandates, noting that the Investment Advisor provides more services to the Fund than it does to institutional or subadvised accounts. The Board also considered the entrepreneurial risk and financial exposure assumed by the Investment Advisor in developing and managing the Fund that the Investment Advisor does not have with institutional and other clients and other differences in the management of registered investment companies and institutional accounts. The Board determined that on a comparative basis the fees under the Advisory Agreement were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
No single factor was cited as determinative to the decision of the Board, and each Director may have assigned different weights to the various factors. Rather, after weighing all of the considerations and conclusions discussed above, the Board, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.
