Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. (RQI) announced a monthly distribution of $0.09 per share for February 2026, with the entirety of the payment derived from net realized long-term capital gains. The distribution brings year-to-date payouts to $0.18 per share since the beginning of 2026.
The fund operates under a managed distribution policy established in 2012, which provides a structured framework for returning capital to shareholders. Under this policy, monthly distributions may be composed of various income sources, including long-term capital gains, short-term capital gains, net investment income, and return of capital, depending on market conditions and the fund's investment performance.
Investors should review the fund's distribution composition carefully, as the tax treatment of distributions varies by source. Long-term capital gains distributions typically receive preferential tax treatment compared to other distribution types. The fund's managed distribution approach aims to provide consistent monthly payments while managing the fund's capital base over time.
