Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Fund's investment advisor (the "Advisor"), has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses through July 31, 2027 so that the Fund's total annual operating expenses (excluding payments made under the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan (if or when such fees are imposed), brokerage commissions and other expenses connected to the execution of portfolio transactions, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and, upon approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board"), extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.50%. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund's Board and the Advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Fund.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of those periods.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 50% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that pursues its objective by investing in securities of natural resource companies (as described in greater detail below).The Fund is actively managed by the Advisor, which combines top-down and bottom-up analysis in evaluating particular investments. The Advisor's portfolio construction process takes into account risk-parity at the sector-level, meaning that the Advisor generally seeks to provide the Fund with similar risk contributions, across the major three natural resource sectors: (i) metals and mining, which includes precious and non-precious metals and minerals; (ii) energy, which includes traditional and renewable sources; and (iii) agriculture, which includes chemicals, timber, farming and related machinery. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific environmental, social and governance ("ESG") outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of natural resource companies, which the Advisor defines as companies which are engaged in the business of holding natural resource assets or earning revenues which are derived from natural resources, or which otherwise form part of the value chain of natural resource industries, which includes the exploration, mining, extraction, production, processing, storage or transportation of natural resources or otherwise developing or providing goods and services that are related to natural resources, such as manufactures of equipment used for the foregoing.The Advisor considers natural resources to include precious metals (e.g., gold, platinum, palladium or silver), non-precious metals (e.g., copper, zinc or iron ore), minerals, traditional energy sources (e.g., oil, natural gas or coal), renewable energy sources (e.g., wind, solar, biomass, geothermal or hydroelectric), timber and forestry products, food and agricultural products (e.g., fertilizer), farm machinery and chemicals.The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold at least 25% of its net assets) in securities of natural resource companies. The Fund may invest in securities of natural resource companies of any market capitalization.
The Fund will invest primarily in common stock and other equity securities, but may also invest in debt securities, preferred securities and other securities or financial instruments. The Fund's investments in equity securities may include common stocks, American depositary receipts ("ADRs"), European depositary receipts ("EDRs"), global depositary receipts ("GDRs"), foreign stocks which may be denominated in foreign currencies and traded outside of the U.S., private investments in public equity ("PIPEs"), private placements and master limited partnerships ("MLPs"). The Fund may also invest in commodities and commodity derivatives, whether directly or indirectly through investments in other ETFs or other funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
The Fund may participate in the initial public offering ("IPO") market of securities.
The Fund may invest in the securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies, including companies located in emerging markets.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Before investing, be sure to read the additional descriptions of these risks in the full statutory prospectus.
Investment Risk
An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
Market Risk
Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account any reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Common Stock Risk
Common stocks are subject to special risks. Although common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed-income securities over the long-term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatility in returns. Common stocks may be more susceptible to adverse changes in market value due to issuer specific events or
2
general movements in the equities markets. A drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks held by the Fund. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes to investors' perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or the occurrence of political or economic events affecting issuers. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of common stock in which the Fund has invested; the price of common stock of an issuer may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks held by the Fund. Also, common stock of an issuer in the Fund's portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are typically subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company's capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and assets, and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such issuers. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates as the costs of capital rise and borrowing costs increase.
Natural Resources Sector Concentration Risk
Because the Fund, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of natural resource companies, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting this sector. The Fund's investments in securities of natural resource companies involve risks. The market value of securities of natural resource companies may be affected by numerous factors, including natural disasters, inflation and international politics. Because the Fund concentrates its investments in the natural resources sector, there is the risk that the Fund will perform poorly during a downturn in that sector. For example, natural events (such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, fires or disease outbreaks in prime natural resource areas) and political events (such as acts of terrorism, coups, wars and other military confrontations, tariffs, sanctions or embargos) can affect the overall supply of a natural resource and the value of companies involved in such natural resource. Political risks and the other risks to which foreign securities are subject may also affect domestic natural resource companies if they have significant operations or investments in foreign countries. Changes in interest rates and general economic conditions may also affect the demand for natural resources.
Agriculture Companies Risk
Economic forces and government policies and regulations affecting agriculture companies could adversely impact the Fund's investments. Agricultural and livestock production and trade flows are significantly affected by government policies and regulations. Governmental policies affecting agriculture companies, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies and import and export restrictions on agricultural equipment, commodities, commodity products and livestock, can influence agriculture company profitability, the decision to plant or raise certain crops/livestock as opposed to others, the location and size of crop and livestock production, whether unprocessed or processed commodity products are traded and the volume and types of imports and exports. In addition, agriculture companies must comply with a broad range of environmental, food safety, worker safety and health laws and regulations. Additional or more stringent laws and regulations may be enacted in the future which could have a material adverse effect on such companies. In addition, agriculture companies may be significantly affected by climate changes, adverse weather, natural disasters, pollution and disease, which could reduce or halt production.
Energy Companies Risk
Issuers in energy-related industries can be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of energy sources. Markets for various energy-related commodities can have significant volatility and are subject to control or manipulation by large producers or purchasers. Companies in the energy sector may need to make substantial expenditures, and to incur significant amounts of debt, in order to maintain or expand their reserves. Energy exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters as well as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government regulation, world events and economic conditions. Energy-related companies may be at risk of environmental damage claims.
Materials Companies Risk
Companies engaged in the mining production or distribution of goods in the materials sector may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. and world events, economic and political conditions, energy conservation and other environmental policies, commodity price volatility, changes in exchange rates, imposition of import controls, litigation and government regulations, increased competition, overproduction, depletion of resources and labor relations.
Precious Metal and Related Securities Risk
Prices of precious metals and of securities of companies engaged in the precious metals industry have historically experienced high levels of volatility. The high volatility of precious metal prices may adversely affect the financial condition of companies involved with precious metals. The production and sale of precious metals by central banks,
3
governments, or other larger holders of such metals may be adversely affected by various financial, economic, political, and social factors, which are unpredictable and can have a significant negative impact on the prices of precious metals and the securities of companies engaged in the precious metals industry. Other factors that may affect the prices of precious metals and securities related to them include changes in inflation, the outlook for inflation and changes in commercial, industrial and consumer demand for such metals.
Gold-Related Investments Risk
Prices of gold or gold-related investments may move up and down rapidly, and have historically offered lower long-term performance than the stock market as a whole. Historically, gold markets have experienced extended periods of flat or declining prices, as well as sharp fluctuations. Gold can be influenced by a variety of economic, financial and political factors, especially inflation: when inflation is low or expected to fall, prices tend to be weak.
Industrial Metals Related Risk
Industrial metals industries may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. and international economic and political conditions, environmental regulations, depletion of resources, labor relations, increased competition and changes in industrial and commercial demand for industrial metals. As a result, industrial metals have been and may continue to be subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time.
Timber and Forestry Industry Risk
The timber and forestry industry may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. and international economic conditions, interest rates, environmental and weather conditions and natural disasters, and government regulations, among other factors.
Infrastructure Companies Risk
Securities and instruments of infrastructure companies are more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting their industries. Infrastructure companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Infrastructure companies may also be affected by or subject to:
high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs;
difficulty in raising capital in adequate amounts on reasonable terms in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets;
inexperience with and potential losses resulting from a developing deregulatory environment;
costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental and other regulations;
regulation or adverse actions by various government authorities;
government regulation of rates charged to customers;
service interruption due to environmental, operational or other mishaps;
the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards;
technological innovations that may render existing plants, equipment or products obsolete; and
general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure and utilities assets.
Master Limited Partnership 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.
4
Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk
The Fund's use of derivatives, including for the purpose of hedging interest rate or foreign currency risks, presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Among the risks presented are market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, over-the-counter ("OTC") trading risk and tracking risk. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. In addition, the use of derivatives to hedge the Fund's foreign currency risks may reduce returns or increase volatility, perhaps substantially.
The U.S. government has enacted legislation that provides for regulation of the derivatives market including minimum margin and capital, clearing and trade execution requirements. The European Union, United Kingdom and some other jurisdictions have implemented and continue to implement similar requirements, which affect the Fund when it enters into a derivatives transaction with a counterparty organized in that jurisdiction or otherwise subject to that jurisdiction's derivatives regulations. These regulations have the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or the Fund's ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by the Fund as well as the Fund's ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments.
Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act requires that, among other things, the Fund limit its use of derivatives to maintain its status as a "limited derivatives user." If the Fund were not able to maintain such status, it would be required to apply a value-at-risk based limit to its use of derivative instruments and financing transactions, comply with other requirements, and adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program. Rule 18f-4 may curtail the Fund's ability to use derivative instruments as part of the Fund's investment strategy.
Authorized Participant Concentration Risk
Only an authorized participant (an "Authorized Participant") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, none of which are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable or unwilling to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able or willing to step forward to create or redeem an aggregation of a specified number of shares (each a "Creation Unit"), Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the net asset value ("NAV") per share of Fund shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. Additionally, the Fund could possibly face trading halts and/or delisting from the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange"). This risk is heightened in times of market stress, including at both the Fund share level and at the Fund holdings level.
Market Price Relative to NAV Risk
Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may differ, in some cases significantly, from their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in response to changes in NAV, as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Fund shares on the Exchange. Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund's shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. The Advisor cannot predict whether Fund shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may result because of, among other factors, supply and demand forces in the secondary trading market for Fund shares. It is expected that these forces generally will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund's holdings. In this regard, if a shareholder purchases Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. Different investment strategies or techniques, including those intended to be defensive in nature, including, for example, stop loss orders to sell an ETF's shares in the secondary market during negative market events or conditions, such as a "flash crash" or other market disruptions, may not work as intended and may produce significant losses to investors. Investors should consult their financial intermediary prior to using any such investment strategies or techniques, or before investing in the Fund.
Secondary Market Trading Risk
Investors buying or selling Fund shares will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares.
5
Fund Shares Liquidity Risk
Although the Fund's shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active, liquid or otherwise orderly trading market for Fund shares will be established or maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants, particularly in times of stressed market conditions. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to attract market makers and Authorized Participants. There is no obligation for market makers to make a market in the Fund's shares or for Authorized Participants to submit purchase or redemption orders for creation units. Accordingly, if such parties determine not to perform their respective functions, this could, such as during times of market stress, in turn, lead to variances between the market price of the Fund's shares and the underlying value of those shares and bid/ask spreads could widen. Trading in Fund shares on the Exchange also may be disrupted or even halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Fund shares on the Exchange may be subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange "circuit breaker" rules. There also can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund's shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that particular Fund investments 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
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, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts, instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), and possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities (including trading and tariff arrangements and restrictions, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks). 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.
Securities of companies in emerging markets may be more volatile than those of companies in more developed markets. Emerging market countries generally have less developed markets, exchanges and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions. Foreign securities markets and exchanges may be less liquid, more volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than in the United States. Political developments in foreign countries or the United States may at times subject such countries to sanctions from the U.S. government, foreign governments and/or international institutions that could negatively affect the Fund's investments in issuers located in, doing business in or with assets in such countries. Investing in securities of companies in emerging markets may entail special risks relating to potential economic, political or social instability and the risks of expropriation, nationalization, confiscation, trade sanctions or embargoes, exchange controls, the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, the lack of hedging instruments, restrictions on repatriation of capital invested or from problems in security registration or settlement and custody. Furthermore, custody practices and regulations abroad may offer less protection to investors, such as the Fund, and the Fund may be limited in its ability to enforce contractual rights or obligations. The securities and real estate markets of some emerging market countries have in the past experienced substantial market disruptions and may do so in the future. The economies of many emerging market countries may be heavily dependent on international trade and have thus been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by trade barriers, foreign exchange controls and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they wish to trade.
Foreign Currency and Currency Hedging Risk
Although the Fund will report its NAV and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund's investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Fund's NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In particular, Russia's military invasion of Ukraine has
6
weakened a number of Euro-area currencies and increased volatility of currencies in general. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund's foreign currency risks, and such investments are subject to the risks described under "Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk" above.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical and market events (including armed conflicts, terrorism, natural disasters, public health emergencies, trade disputes, tariffs, sanctions, and political or economic instability) can cause significant volatility in global markets and may adversely affect the Fund's investments. Disruptions to supply chains, sharp movements in commodity prices, and changes in investor sentiment or credit conditions may negatively impact issuers, sectors, or entire regions, even those not directly involved in the originating event.
Recent examples include the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and increasing political polarization around issues such as trade policy, monetary policy and the U.S. debt ceiling. 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.
Cyber Security 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 Advisor) 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 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 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 each of the Fund and Advisor have 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.
7
New Fund Risk
The Fund is a newly formed ETF. Accordingly, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful, which could result in the Fund being liquidated at any time without shareholder approval and/or at a time that may not be favorable to shareholders. Such liquidation could have negative tax consequences for shareholders.
Large Shareholder Risk
Certain shareholders, including other funds advised by the Advisor, may from time to time own a large amount of the Fund's shares. In addition, a third-party investor, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor, an authorized participant, a lead market maker, seed investor or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund's achieving a specified size or scale. Any such investment may be held for a limited length of time. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder would not redeem its investment, that the size of the Fund would be maintained at such levels or that the Fund would continue to meet applicable listing requirements. Redemptions by large shareholders could have a significant negative impact on the Fund, including on the Fund's liquidity. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a significant percentage of the trading volume on the Exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Fund's shares. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. To the extent that such transactions result in short-term capital gains, such gains will generally be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate for shareholders who hold Fund shares in a taxable account.
Other Investment Companies Risk
To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds' portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund's expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions, risk of a premature liquidity event initiated by activist shareholders and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the 1940 Act may limit the Fund's ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded derivative products that are not registered under the 1940 Act.
Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other applicable rules under Section 12(d)(1) permit an investment company to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. Reliance on these conditions could affect the Fund's ability to redeem its investments in other investment companies, make such investments less attractive, cause the Fund to incur losses, realize taxable gains distributable to shareholders, incur greater or unexpected expenses or experience other adverse consequences.
Active Management Risk
As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund's investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Advisor's investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund's investment objective or negatively affect the Fund's investment performance.
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 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.
Your investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency.
Fund Performance
Because the Fund has not yet completed a full calendar year of operations as of the date of this Prospectus, no performance returns are presented in this part of the Prospectus. Performance information for the Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, is available in the Financial Highlights section of this Prospectus.Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund's returns and comparing the Fund's performance to a broad measure of market performance.The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund issues and redeems shares only through Authorized Participants (intermediaries, typically broker-dealers who have executed an agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor"), that governs transactions in Fund creation units) in large blocks of shares called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed typically for an in-kind basket of securities. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on secondary markets through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or a bank. Because the Fund's shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). You may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the ETF (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the ETF (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the bid/ask spread). Information regarding the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spread, is available at www.cohenandsteers.com.
Tax Information
The Fund's distributions may be taxable to you as ordinary income and/or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, and may consist of a non-taxable return of capital. Investments through such tax-advantaged arrangements may be taxed upon withdrawal of monies from the tax-advantaged arrangement.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its Advisor or Distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your individual financial representative to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your individual financial representative or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
