Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund Inc
Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund Inc (NYSE: UTF) is a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company launched by Cohen & Steers, a New York-based asset manager specializing in real assets. The fund's investment objective is total return, composed of high current income and capital appreciation. It typically invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of infrastructure companies, including those in utilities, energy infrastructure, transportation, and communications sectors. The fund employs a multi-sector approach, targeting companies with stable cash flows, regulated or contracted revenue models, and growth potential linked to economic expansion or government spending. It may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs) that focus on infrastructure-related property types. As a closed-end fund, shares trade on the NYSE under the ticker UTF, and the fund can use leverage to enhance returns. Cohen & Steers as a firm manages over $80 billion in assets (per Cohen & Steers, 2025), with the infrastructure fund representing one of its several closed-end offerings. The fund's portfolio is concentrated in North America and Western Europe, with exposure to companies like NextEra Energy, Union Pacific, and Enbridge. The fund has no specifically named portfolio companies in recent filings, but sector allocation data is publicly available in its annual reports. Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund's structure as a closed-end fund is a clear differentiator: it does not face daily redemptions, enabling management to invest in less-liquid infrastructure equities and use leverage. The fund is externally managed by Cohen & Steers Capital Management, which provides dedicated infrastructure research and portfolio management teams. This governance arrangement aligns the fund with the broader Cohen & Steers platform, a specialist in real assets for over 30 years.
