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 sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance results reflect the effects of leverage, resulting from borrowings under a credit agreement. Current total returns of the Fund can be obtained by visiting our website at cohenandsteers.com. The Funds returns assume the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at prices obtained under the Funds dividend reinvestment plan. 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.
Managed Distribution Policy
The Fund, acting in accordance with an exemptive order received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and with approval of its Board of Directors (the Board), adopted a managed distribution policy under which the Fund intends to include long-term capital gains, where applicable, as part of the regular monthly cash distributions to its shareholders (the Plan). The Plan gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains and to distribute those gains on a regular monthly basis. In accordance with the Plan, the Fund currently distributes $0.136 per share on a monthly basis.
a | As a closed-end investment company, the price of the Funds exchange-traded shares will be set by market forces and can deviate from the net asset value (NAV) per share of the Fund. |
b | The FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs Index contains all tax-qualified REITs with more than 50% of total assets in qualifying real estate assets other than mortgages secured by real property that also meet minimum size and liquidity criteria. ICE BofA Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index tracks the performance of fixed-rate U.S. dollar-denominated preferred securities issued in the U.S. domestic market. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 large capitalization stocks that is frequently used as a general measure of U.S. stock market performance. Benchmark returns are shown for comparative purposes only and may not be representative of the Funds portfolio. |

COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
The Fund may pay distributions in excess of the Funds investment company taxable income and net realized gains. This excess would be a return of capital distributed from the Funds assets. Distributions of capital decrease the Funds total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Funds expense ratio. In addition, in order to make these distributions, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Funds investment performance from the amount of these distributions or from the terms of the Funds Plan. The Funds total return based on NAV is presented in the table above as well as in the Consolidated Financial Highlights table.
The Plan provides that the Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to Fund shareholders; however, at this time, there are no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause the termination. The termination of the Plan could have the effect of creating a trading discount (if the Funds stock is trading at or above NAV) or widening an existing trading discount.
Market Review
In the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, U.S. real estate securities declined sharply along with the broader equities market. Amid ongoing supply chain challenges, the U.S. economy slowed abruptly and inflation climbed to a 40-year high as Russias invasion of Ukraine in late February led to a pronounced increase in prices for energy and other commodities. Bond yields rose meaningfully and the Federal Reserve (along with most major central banks) began to aggressively raise interest rates to slow demand to check persistently high inflation. While real estate fundamentals generally remained sound, slower growth and higher inflation clouded the outlook for REITs, particularly for sectors lacking pricing power.
Preferred securities also struggled in this environment, hindered by concerns about inflation and interest rates, which weighed on credit-sensitive as well as interest rate-sensitive fixed income securities. Preferreds had a significant absolute decline for the period, performing in line with investment-grade corporate bonds but holding up somewhat better than high-yield debt.
Fund Performance
The Fund had a negative total return for the period and underperformed its blended benchmark on both a NAV and market price basis.
For REIT common shares, returns were negative across all property types. The industrial sector underperformed; while demand for warehouse space remained high, growth expectations for industrial companies diminished with Amazons plans to scale back the growth of its logistics space usage. The Funds stock selection in the industrial sector aided relative performance. Contributors included our overweight in refrigerated warehouse specialist Americold, which outperformed as improvements in labor availability translated into better production, higher inventory and pricing power for the company.
Office REITs continued to underperform, as earnings results underscored a difficult leasing environment. Although the number of daily commuters to offices continued to climb, occupancies remained below 50% and the long-term impact on tenant demand due to work-from-home policies remained uncertain, which has also affected asset values. The Funds underweight allocation in the office sector contributed to relative performance.

COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
Many retail property companies reported record leasing volumes and strong leasing spreads in the period. Despite historically being interest rate-sensitive, net lease property owners outperformed broader REITs amid evidence of solid external growth and as odds of a recession increased given stable cash flows with long leases. Shopping centers also modestly outperformed, with grocery-anchored assets seen as being somewhat defensive. Regional mall companies underperformed on the marked deterioration in consumer sentiment and its implications for tenants. The Funds overweight in free standing REITs aided relative performance. The Funds overweight allocation in the mall sector (via a position in Simon Property Group) detracted from relative returns. The shares declined meaningfully despite strong demand for Simons portfolio of high-quality assets as concerns of a consumer slowdown took precedence.
Residential sectors, including apartments, manufactured homes and single family homes for rent, declined despite demographic tailwinds and a healthy jobs market and as home affordability worsened with sharply higher mortgage rates and the growth in asset values. The Funds stock selection in residential sectors, particularly apartments, detracted from relative performance. This included having no investment in student housing provider American Campus Communities, which rose as the company agreed to be acquired by a private equity firm in an all-cash deal.
Infrastructure REITs outperformed on healthy leasing activity from wireless carriers rolling out 5G telecom equipment and as mobile data usage continues to grow. The Funds stock selection and overweight allocation in the sector was beneficial to relative performance. In contrast, data centers appeared to be caught up in this years technology stock selloff. The sector underperformed other REIT categories despite strong underlying fundamentals. Tenant demand has shown no signs of abating, with capital spending for cloud computing expected to accelerate in 2022, for instance. Our underweight in data centers contributed to relative performance. However, this was partially offset by adverse stock selection in the sector.
The Fund held a modest out-of-index investment in private real estate in the period, which offered an attractive yield and access to investments that are often overlooked by listed real estate companies. The Funds allocation to private real estate contributed to relative performance.
Preferred securities also had broad-based declines by sector. The macro headwinds rattling financial markets notwithstanding, fundamentals for issuers of preferreds remained generally solid. Banks, which are a substantial issuer of preferreds, reported earnings that continued to be encouraging from a credit perspective. Positive factors reported by banks included continued strong credit quality, loan growth, expanding net interest margins and better-than-expected trading activity revenues. Capital ratios declined modestly as excess capital was returned to shareholders in the form of large stock buybacks. Overall, however, banks capital ratios remained at high levels and well above regulatory minimums in the U.S. as well as Europe.
Bank preferreds performed in line with the wider preferreds market in the period. The Funds security selection among bank preferreds contributed to relative performance, in part due to our underweights or non-investment in certain highly interest rate-sensitive securities.
The insurance sector slightly underperformed the overall preferreds market, although property & casualty companies saw significant premium growth with the recovering economy, while life insurers benefited from a declining overall Covid impact and from solid results in their investment portfolios. The Funds security selection in insurance detracted from relative performance.

COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
The utilities sector modestly outperformed the broader preferreds market. Security selection in utilities detracted from the Funds relative performance. The Funds telecommunications allocation, which consisted of several higher-yielding out-of-benchmark issues, hindered performance with a significant decline.
The pipeline sector outperformed broader preferreds with a modest decline. Pipeline company cash flows continued to improve on higher crude oil prices, driven by recovering demand and geopolitical supply disruptions. Our overweight in pipelines aided relative performance.
Impact of Leverage on Fund Performance
The Fund employs leverage as part of a yield-enhancement strategy. Leverage, which can increase total return in rising markets (just as it can have the opposite effect in declining markets), detracted significantly from the Funds performance for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.
Impact of Derivatives on Fund Performance
The Fund used derivatives in the form of forward foreign currency exchange contracts for managing currency risk on certain Fund positions denominated in foreign currencies. These instruments did not have a material effect on the Funds total return for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.
The Fund also engaged in the buying and selling of certain single stock options with the intention of enhancing total returns and reducing overall volatility. These contracts did not have a material effect on the Funds total return for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.
In connection with its use of leverage, the Fund pays interest on a portion of its borrowings based on a floating rate under the terms of its credit agreement. To reduce the impact that an increase in interest rates could have on the performance of the Fund with respect to these borrowings, the Fund used interest rate swaps to exchange a portion of the floating rate for a fixed rate. The Funds use of swaps contributed significantly to performance in the period. The Fund also used swaptions, which are options to enter into swaps with the intention of managing interest-rate risk. The Funds use of swaptions did not have a material effect on the Funds total return for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. In addition, the Fund used equity options with the intention of managing interest-rate risk. These options did not have a material effect on the Funds total return for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

Our Leverage Strategy
(Unaudited)
Our current leverage strategy utilizes borrowings up to the maximum permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 to provide additional capital for the Fund, with an objective of increasing net income available for shareholders. As of June 30, 2022, leverage represented 29% of the Funds managed assets.
Through a combination of variable and fixed rate financing, the Fund has locked in interest rates on a significant portion of this additional capital through 2027 (where we effectively reduce our variable rate obligation and lock in our fixed rate obligation over various terms). Locking in a significant portion of our leveraging costs is designed to protect the dividend-paying ability of the Fund. The use of leverage increases the volatility of the Funds NAV in both up and down markets. However, we believe that locking in portions of the Funds leveraging costs for the various terms partially protects the Funds expenses from an increase in short-term interest rates.

The Fund seeks to enhance its dividend yield through leverage. The use of leverage is a speculative technique and there are special risks and costs associated with leverage. The NAV of the Funds shares may be reduced by the issuance and ongoing costs of leverage. So long as the Fund is able to invest in securities that produce an investment yield that is greater than the total cost of leverage, the leverage strategy will produce higher current net investment income for shareholders. On the other hand, to the extent that the total cost of leverage exceeds the incremental income gained from employing such leverage, shareholders would realize lower net investment income. In addition to the impact on net income, the use of leverage will have an effect of magnifying capital appreciation or depreciation for shareholders. Specifically, in an up market, leverage will typically generate greater capital appreciation than if the Fund were not employing leverage. Conversely, in down markets, the use of leverage will generally result in greater capital depreciation than if the Fund had been unlevered. To the extent that the Fund is required or elects to reduce its leverage, the Fund may incur breakage fees under the Funds credit arrangement and may need to liquidate investments, including under adverse economic conditions which may result in capital losses potentially reducing returns to shareholders. There can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Cohen & Steers REIT and Preferred and Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on March 25, 2003 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Funds investment objective is high current income. The Funds secondary investment objective is capital appreciation.
Cohen & Steers RNP Trust (the REIT Subsidiary), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the state of Maryland as a statutory trust on July 9, 2021 that commenced operations on November 30, 2021. The REIT Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the Fund in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Fund, consistent with the Funds investment objectives and policies. The Fund expects that it will achieve a significant portion of its exposure to private real estate investments through investment in the REIT Subsidiary. The REIT Subsidiary may use wholly-owned, limited liability companies to contain the exposure of individual private real estate investments. Unlike the Fund, the REIT Subsidiary may invest without limitation in private real estate. Investments in the REIT Subsidiary are limited to 25% of the Funds total assets. The Consolidated Schedule of Investments includes positions of the Fund and the REIT Subsidiary. The financial statements have been consolidated and include the accounts of the Fund and the REIT Subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated 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 946Investment 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued at the price determined by the relevant exchange or clearinghouse. Exchange-traded options are valued at their last sale price as of the close of options trading on applicable exchanges on the valuation date. In the absence of a last sale price on such day, options are valued at the average of the quoted bid and ask prices as of the close of business. Over-the-counter (OTC) options are valued based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service or counterparty. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the prevailing forward exchange rate.
Securities not listed on the NYSE but listed on other domestic or foreign securities exchanges (including NASDAQ) are valued in a similar manner. Securities traded on more than one securities

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
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 manager) 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 manager, pursuant to delegation by the Board of Directors, to reflect the fair value of such securities.
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 manager, 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-end mutual funds are valued at net asset value (NAV).
The Fund utilizes an independent valuation services firm (the Independent Valuation Advisor) to assist the investment manager in the determination of the Funds fair value of private real estate investments held by the REIT Subsidiary. Limited scope appraisals are prepared on a monthly basis and typically include a limited comparable sales and a full discounted cash flow analysis. Annually, a full scope, detailed appraisal report is completed which typically includes market analysis, cost approach, sales comparison approach and an income approach containing a discounted cash flow analysis. The full scope report is prepared by a third-party appraisal firm. The investment manager, including through communication with the Independent Valuation Advisor, monitors for material events that the investment manager believes may be expected to have a material impact on the most recent estimated fair values of such private real estate investments. However, rapidly changing market conditions or material events may not be immediately reflected in the Funds or REIT Subsidiarys daily NAV. The investment manager, in conjunction with the Independent Valuation Advisor, values the private real estate investments using the valuation methodology it deems most appropriate and consistent with industry best practices and market conditions. The investment manager expects the primary methodology used to value private real estate investments will be the income approach. Consistent with industry practices, the income approach incorporates actual contractual lease income, professional judgments regarding comparable rental and operating expense data, the capitalization or discount rate and projections of
37
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
future rent and expenses based on appropriate market evidence, and other subjective factors. Other methodologies that may also be used to value properties include, among other approaches, sales comparisons and cost approaches. Private real estate appraisals are reported on a free and clear basis (i.e. any property-level indebtedness that may be in place is not incorporated into the valuation). Property level debt is valued separately in accordance with GAAP.
The policies and procedures approved by the Funds Board of Directors delegate authority to make fair value determinations to the investment manager, subject to the oversight of the Board of Directors. The investment manager 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 manager 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 Funds 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.
For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities would be categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the hierarchy, depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs. Securities, including private placements or other restricted securities, for which observable inputs are not available are valued using alternate valuation approaches, including the market approach, the income approach and cost approach, and are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy. The market approach considers factors including the price of recent investments in the same or a similar security or financial metrics of comparable securities. The income approach considers factors including expected future cash flows, security specific risks and corresponding discount rates. The cost approach considers factors including the value of the securitys underlying assets and liabilities.
The Funds 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 market for the
38

investment or liability. The hierarchy of inputs that are used in determining the fair value of the Funds investments is summarized below.
| Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| Level 2other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.) |
| Level 3significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |

b | Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. |
Security Transactions and Investment Income: 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-dividend date except for certain dividends on foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Distributions from real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as ordinary income, net realized capital gain or return of capital based on information reported by the REITs and managements estimates of such amounts based on historical information. These estimates are adjusted when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the REITs and actual amounts may differ from the estimated amounts.
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 Funds 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
41
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
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.
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 Consolidated 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.
Option Contracts: The Fund may purchase and write exchange-listed and OTC put or call options on securities, stock indices and other financial instruments for hedging purposes, to enhance portfolio returns and/or reduce overall volatility.
When the Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When an option expires, the Fund realizes a gain on the option to the extent of the premium received. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security purchased by the Fund. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds of the security sold to determine the realized gain or loss. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying investment. Other risks include the possibility of an illiquid options market or the inability of the counterparties to fulfill their obligations under the contracts.
Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss when the underlying transaction is executed. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
Centrally Cleared Interest Rate Swap Contracts: The Fund uses interest rate swaps in connection with borrowing under its credit agreement. The interest rate swaps are intended to reduce interest rate risk by countering the effect that an increase in short-term interest rates could have on the performance of the Funds shares as a result of the floating rate structure of interest owed pursuant to the credit agreement. When entering into interest rate swaps, the Fund agrees to pay the other party to the interest rate swap (which is known as the counterparty) a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterpartys agreement to pay the Fund a variable rate payment that was intended to approximate the Funds variable rate payment obligation on the credit agreement, the accruals for which would begin at a specific date in the future (the effective date). The payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the swap. 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).
Immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the Funds 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. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Consolidated Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 typically declared quarterly 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-dividend date and are automatically reinvested in full and fractional shares of the Fund in accordance with the Funds Reinvestment Plan, unless the shareholder has elected to have them paid in cash.

COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
The Fund has a managed distribution policy in accordance with exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Plan gives the Fund greater flexibility to realize long-term capital gains throughout the year and to distribute those gains on a more regular basis to shareholders. Therefore, regular monthly distributions throughout the year may include a portion of estimated realized long-term capital gains, along with net investment income, short-term capital gains and return of capital, which is not taxable. In accordance with the Plan, the Fund is required to adhere to certain conditions in order to distribute long-term capital gains during the year.
Dividends from net investment income are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes. Based upon the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022, the investment manager considers it likely that a portion of the dividends will be reclassified to distributions from net realized gain upon the final determination of the Funds taxable net income after December 31, 2022, the Funds fiscal year end.
Distributions Subsequent to June 30, 2022: The following distributions have been declared by the Funds Board of Directors and are payable subsequent to the period end of this report.

Distributions to holders of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock are accrued daily and paid semi-annually and are determined as described in Note 7. The payments made to the holders of the Funds Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock are treated as dividends or distributions.
Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (RIC), if such qualification is in the best interest of the shareholders, by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to RICs, and by distributing substantially all of its taxable earnings to its shareholders. Also, in order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, the Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized gains on a calendar year basis. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Dividend and interest income from holdings in non-U.S. securities is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Management has analyzed the Funds 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 June 30, 2022, no additional provisions for income tax are required in the Funds consolidated financial statements. The Funds 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.
The REIT Subsidiary intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Subchapter M of the Code. The REIT Subsidiarys qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon the REIT Subsidiarys ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual operating results, certain qualification tests set forth in the Code. Those qualification tests involve the percentage of income that it earns from specified sources, the percentage of its assets that falls within specified categories, the diversity of the ownership of its shares, and the percentage of its taxable income that the REIT Subsidiary distributes. As a REIT, the
44

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
REIT Subsidiary generally will be allowed to deduct dividends paid to its shareholders and, as a result, the REIT Subsidiary will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of its ordinary income and net capital gain that the REIT Subsidiary annually distributes to its shareholders, as long as the REIT Subsidiary meets the minimum distribution requirements under the Code. The REIT Subsidiary intends to make distributions on a regular basis as necessary to avoid material U.S. federal income tax and to comply with the REIT distribution requirements.
Note 2. Investment Management Fees, Administration Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Investment Management Fees: Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. serves as the Funds investment manager pursuant to an investment management agreement (the investment management agreement). Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the investment manager provides the Fund with day-to-day investment decisions and generally manages the Funds investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors.
For the services provided to the Fund, the investment manager receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.65% of the average daily managed assets of the Fund. Managed assets are equal to the net assets plus the amount of any borrowings used for leverage outstanding.
Administration Fees: The Fund has entered into an administration agreement with the investment manager under which the investment manager performs certain administrative functions for the Fund and receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.06% of the average daily managed assets of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Fund incurred $500,841 in fees under this administration agreement. Additionally, the Fund pays State Street Bank and Trust Company as co-administrator under a fund accounting and administration agreement.
Directors and Officers Fees: Certain directors and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or employees of the investment manager. The Fund does not pay compensation to directors and officers affiliated with the investment manager except for the Chief Compliance Officer, who received compensation from the investment manager, which was reimbursed by the Fund, in the amount of $5,023 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Note 3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended June 30, 2022, totaled $405,002,126 and $337,330,688, respectively.

Note 7. Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock
On January 27, 2022, the Funds wholly-owned REIT Subsidiary completed a private placement of 125 shares of 12.0% Series A Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock) for aggregate gross proceeds of $125,000. The Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share plus an amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends (the Liquidation Preference). The Preferred Stock dividends are cumulative at a rate of 12.0% per annum and are redeemable under certain conditions by the REIT Subsidiary or subject to mandatory redemption upon default of certain coverage requirements at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference.
Note 8. Capital Stock
The Fund is authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Fund did not issue shares of common stock for the reinvestment of dividends. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Fund issued 13,064 shares of common stock at $361,950 for the reinvestment of dividends.
On December 7, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the continuation of the delegation of its authority to management to effect repurchases, pursuant to managements discretion and subject to market conditions and investment considerations, of up to 10% of the Funds common shares outstanding (Share Repurchase Program) as of January 1, 2022, through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, the Fund did not effect any repurchases.
Note 9. Borrowings
The Fund has entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the credit agreement) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage International, Ltd. (BNPP) in which the Fund pays a monthly financing charge based on a combination of London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)-based variable and fixed rates through June 30, 2022 and a combination of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR)-based variable and fixed rates effective July 1, 2022, pursuant to an amendment to the credit agreement. The commitment amount of the credit agreement is $450,000,000. The Fund may pay a fee of 0.45% per
50
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
annum on any unused portion of the credit agreement. BNPP may not change certain terms of the credit agreement except upon 360 days notice. Also, if the Fund violates certain conditions, the credit agreement may be terminated. The Fund is required to pledge portfolio securities and/or cash as collateral in an amount up to two times the loan balance outstanding (or more depending on the terms of the credit agreement) and has granted a security interest in the securities pledged to, and in favor of, BNPP as security for the loan balance outstanding. If the Fund fails to meet certain requirements, or maintain other financial covenants required under the credit agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the credit agreement, necessitating the sale of portfolio securities at potentially inopportune times. Under the terms of the credit agreement, the Fund may, upon prior written notice to BNPP, prepay all or a portion of the fixed rate portions of the credit facility. In the event of such prepayment, the Fund will receive or pay any gain or loss associated with BNPPs interest rate hedge with respect to the applicable fixed rate portions of the credit facility, which could be material in certain circumstances (breakage fee). The credit agreement also permits, subject to certain conditions, BNPP to rehypothecate portfolio securities pledged by the Fund up to the amount of the loan balance outstanding and the Fund receives a portion of the fees earned by BNPP in connection with the rehypothecation of portfolio securities. The Fund continues to receive dividends and interest on rehypothecated securities. The Fund also has the right under the credit agreement to recall the rehypothecated securities from BNPP on demand. If BNPP fails to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Fund will be compensated by BNPP for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security will not be returned by BNPP, the Fund, upon notice to BNPP, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the amount of the recalled security failed to be returned.
As of June 30, 2022, the Fund had outstanding borrowings of $450,000,000 at a weighted average rate of 2.8%. The fair value of these borrowings at June 30, 2022 was approximately $450,042,000, including estimated breakage fees of approximately $42,000 in the event of a prepayment of all of the fixed rate financing. The borrowings are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Fund borrowed an average daily balance of $449,585,635 at a weighted average borrowing cost of 1.9%.
Note 10. Other Risks
Market Price Discount from Net Asset Value Risk: Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their NAV. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that NAV could decrease as a result of investment activities. Whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of the shares will depend not upon the Funds NAV but entirely upon whether the market price of the shares at the time of sale is above or below the investors purchase price for the shares. Because the market price of the shares is determined by factors such as relative supply of and demand for shares in the market, general market and economic conditions, and other factors beyond the control of the Fund, Fund shares may trade at, above or below NAV.
Common Stock Risk: While common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed-income securities over the long-term, common stocks have also experienced significantly more volatility in those returns, although under certain market conditions, fixed-income investments may have
51
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
comparable or greater price volatility. The value of common stocks and other equity securities will fluctuate in response to developments concerning the company, political and regulatory circumstances, the stock market, and the economy. In the short term, stock prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, stocks of large companies can react differently than stocks of smaller companies, and value stocks (stocks of companies that are undervalued by various measures and have potential for long-term capital appreciation), can react differently from growth stocks (stocks of companies with attractive cash flow returns on invested capital and earnings that are expected to grow). These developments can affect a single company, all companies within the same industry, economic sector or geographic region, or the stock market as a whole.
Real Estate Market Risk: Since the Fund concentrates its assets in companies in the real estate industry, an investment in the Fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Risks of investing in real estate securities include falling property values due to increasing vacancies, declining rents resulting from economic, legal, tax, political or technological developments, lack of liquidity, limited diversification, and sensitivity to certain economic factors such as interest-rate changes and market recessions. Real estate company prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to pay their loans and poor management, and residential developers, in particular, could be negatively impacted by falling home prices, slower mortgage origination and rising construction costs. The risks of investing in REITs are similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate securities.
REIT Risk: In addition to the risks of securities linked to the real estate industry, REITs are subject to certain other risks related to their structure and focus. REITs are dependent upon management skills and generally may not be diversified. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to (i) qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable tax law, or (ii) maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act. The above factors may also adversely affect a borrowers or a lessees ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments.
Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk: Real estate companies in the industry tend to be small- to medium-sized companies in relation to the equity markets as a whole. There may be less trading in a smaller companys stock, which means that buy and sell transactions in that stock could have a larger impact on the stocks price than is the case with larger company stocks. Smaller companies also may have fewer lines of business so that changes in any one line of business may have a greater impact on a smaller companys stock price than is the case for a larger company. Further, smaller company stocks may perform differently in different cycles than larger company stocks. Accordingly, real estate company shares can, and at times will, perform differently than large company stocks.
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 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
52
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
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 companys 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.
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 issuers 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 investors standing in a bankruptcy. Some CoCos provide for a reduction in the value or principal amount of the security under such circumstances. 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. Omitted distributions are typically non-cumulative and will not be paid on a future date. Any omitted distribution may negatively impact the returns or distribution rate of the Fund.
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.
Leverage Risk: The use of leverage is a speculative technique and there are special risks and costs associated with leverage. The NAV of the Funds shares may be reduced by the issuance and ongoing costs of leverage. So long as the Fund is able to invest in securities that produce an investment yield that is greater than the total cost of leverage, the leverage strategy will produce higher current net investment income for the shareholders. On the other hand, to the extent that the total cost of leverage exceeds the incremental income gained from employing such leverage, shareholders would realize lower net investment income. In addition to the impact on net income, the use of leverage will have an effect of magnifying capital appreciation or depreciation for shareholders. Specifically, in an up market, leverage will typically generate greater capital appreciation than if the Fund were not employing leverage. Conversely, in down markets, the use of leverage will generally result in greater capital
53
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
depreciation than if the Fund had been unlevered. To the extent that the Fund is required or elects to reduce its leverage, the Fund may incur applicable breakage fees under the Funds credit arrangement and may need to liquidate investments, including under adverse economic conditions which may result in capital losses potentially reducing returns to shareholders. The use of leverage also results in the investment management fees payable to the investment manager being higher than if the Fund did not use leverage and can increase operating costs, which may reduce total return. There can be no assurance that a leveraging strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed.
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 Funds 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.) 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.
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 or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, the lack of hedging instruments, and repatriation of capital invested. 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.
Foreign Currency 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 Funds investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Funds NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. 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 Funds foreign currency risks, and such investments are subject to the risks described under Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk below.

COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk: The Funds 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 counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, 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.
Options Risk: Gains on options transactions depend on the investment managers ability to predict correctly the direction of stock prices, indexes, interest rates, and other economic factors, and unanticipated changes may cause poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not engaged in such transactions. A rise in the value of the security or index underlying a call option written by the Fund exposes the Fund to possible loss or loss of opportunity to realize appreciation in the value of any portfolio securities underlying or otherwise related to the call option. By writing a put option, the Fund assumes the risk of a decline in the underlying security or index. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position, and for certain options not traded on an exchange no market usually exists. Trading could be interrupted, for example, because of supply and demand imbalances arising from a lack of either buyers or sellers, or an options exchange could suspend trading after the price has risen or fallen more than the maximum specified by the exchange.
Although the Fund may be able to offset to some extent any adverse effects of being unable to liquidate an option position, that Fund may experience losses in some cases as a result of such inability, may not be able to close its position and, in such an event would be unable to control its losses.
Private Real Estate Risk: The Funds investments in private real estate include additional risks. For example, lease defaults, terminations by one or more tenants or landlord-tenant disputes may reduce the Funds revenues and net income. Any of these situations may result in extended periods during which there is a significant decline in revenues or no revenues generated by a property. If this occurred, it could adversely affect the Funds results of operations.
The Funds investments in private real estate are expected to be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks or U.S. government securities.
REIT Subsidiary Risk: Investments in a REIT Subsidiary are subject to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. A REIT Subsidiary, and therefore the Fund, may be affected by changes in the real estate markets generally as well as changes in the values of any properties owned by a REIT Subsidiary or securing any mortgages owned by a REIT Subsidiary (which changes in value could be influenced by market conditions for real estate in general or issues related to the particular property). If a REIT Subsidiarys underlying assets are concentrated in properties used by a particular industry, it will be subject to risks associated with such industry.
By investing through a REIT Subsidiary, the Fund bears the fees and expenses of the REIT Subsidiary (including, among other things operating costs, transaction expenses, administrative and custody fees, legal expenses and custody expenses). Thus, investing through a REIT Subsidiary may cause the Fund to be subject to higher operating expenses than if it invested directly.
55
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
Real Estate Limited Liability Company Risk: The Fund through a REIT subsidiary may invest in real estate limited liability companies with third parties. The Fund may also make investments in partnerships or other co-ownership arrangements or participations. Such investments may involve risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment, which include risks associated with having a limited liability company partner, such as the real estate limited liability company partner becoming insolvent or bankrupt, engaging in fraud or other misconduct or having economic or business interests or goals that conflict with the Funds business interest or goals. Also, the terms of the limited liability company agreement could restrict the Funds ability to sell or transfer its interest to a third party or could cause the Fund to sell its interest or acquire its partners interest at a time when the Fund otherwise would not have initiated such a transaction.
In addition, disputes between the Fund and its real estate limited liability company partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase the Funds expenses and prevent the Funds officers and trustees from focusing their time and efforts on the Funds business. Any of the above might subject the Fund to liabilities and thus reduce its returns on the investment with that real estate limited liability company partner.
Geopolitical Risk: Occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as war (including Russias military invasion of Ukraine), terrorist attacks, natural or environmental disasters, country instability, infectious disease epidemics, such as that caused by COVID-19, 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, may result in market volatility and may have long-lasting impacts on both the U.S. and global financial markets. 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 Funds investments.
Although the long-term economic fallout of COVID-19 is difficult to predict, it has contributed to, and may continue to contribute to, market volatility, inflation and systemic economic weakness. In addition, the U.S. government and other central banks across Europe, Asia, and elsewhere announced and/or adopted economic relief packages in response to COVID-19. The end of any such program could cause market downturns, disruptions and volatility, particularly if markets view the ending as premature. The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects are expected to continue through 2022 and beyond, and therefore the economic outlook, particularly for certain industries and businesses, remains inherently uncertain.
On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) withdrew from the European Union (EU) (referred to as Brexit), commencing a transition period that ended on December 31, 2020. The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, a bilateral trade and cooperation deal governing the future relationship between the UK and the EU (TCA), provisionally went into effect on January 1, 2021, and entered into force officially on May 1, 2021. Notwithstanding the TCA, following the transition period, there is likely to be considerable uncertainty as to the UKs post-transition framework, including how the financial markets will react. As this process unfolds, markets may be further disrupted. Given the size and
56
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
importance of the UKs economy, uncertainty about its legal, political and economic relationship with the remaining member states of the EU may continue to be a source of instability.
On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions. The United States and many other countries have instituted various economic sanctions against Russian individuals and entities. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions imposed and other punitive actions taken and resulting future market disruptions in Europe and globally cannot be easily predicted, but could be significant and have a severe adverse effect on the global economy, securities markets and commodities markets globally. To the extent the Fund has exposure to the energy sector, the Fund may be especially susceptible to these risks. These disruptions may also make it difficult to value the Funds portfolio investments and cause certain of the Funds investments to become illiquid. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies may, among other things, adversely affect the Funds 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.
Regulatory Risk: The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the mutual fund industry in general. The SECs final rules, related requirements and amendments to modernize reporting and disclosure, along with other potential upcoming regulations, could, among other things, restrict the Funds ability to engage in transactions, and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund. In addition to recently adopted Rule 18f-4, which governs the way derivatives are used by registered investment companies, the SEC, Congress, various exchanges and regulatory and self-regulatory authorities, both domestic and foreign, have undertaken reviews of the use of derivatives by registered investment companies, which could affect the nature and extent of instruments used by the Fund. 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. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.
LIBOR Risk: Many financial instruments are tied to the LIBOR to determine payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies, or investment value. LIBOR is the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks. The Head of the UK Financial Conduct Authority the (FCA) and LIBORs administrator, ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA) ceased publication of most LIBOR settings at the end of 2021 and the IBA is expected to cease publication of a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings after June 30, 2023. In addition, global regulators have announced that, with limited exceptions, no new LIBOR-based contracts should be entered into after 2021. Actions by regulators have resulted in the establishment of alternative reference rates to LIBOR in most major currencies (e.g., the SOFR for U.S. dollar LIBOR and the Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate for GBP LIBOR). Other countries are introducing their own local-currency-denominated alternative reference rates for short-term lending and global consensus on alternative rates is lacking.
There remains uncertainty and risk regarding the willingness and ability of issuers and lenders to include enhanced provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments, the suitability of the proposed replacement rates, and the process for amending existing contracts and instruments remains unclear. As such, the transition away from LIBOR may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that
57
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
are tied to LIBOR, reduced values of, inaccurate valuations of, and miscalculations of payment amounts for LIBOR-related investments or investments in issuers that utilize LIBOR, increased difficulty in borrowing or refinancing and reduced effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting the Funds performance or NAV. In addition, any alternative reference rate may be a less effective substitute resulting in prolonged adverse market conditions for the Fund. Since the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the cessation of LIBOR publications.
Note 11. Other
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds 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 12. New Accounting Pronouncement
In January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-01 (ASU 2021-01), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2021-01 is an update of ASU 2020-04, which is in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and particularly the risk of cessation of LIBOR, and the reference rate reform initiatives that the regulators have undertaken to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. ASU 2020-04 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is elective and applies to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU 2021-01 update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in this update are effective immediately through December 31, 2022, for all entities. Management does not expect any impact to the Funds net assets or results of operations.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events and transactions occurring after June 30, 2022 through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that no additional disclosure in the consolidated financial statements is required.

Disclosures of the Funds 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 Funds fiscal quarter. The Funds Form N-PORT is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling 866-227-0757 or (ii) on the SECs 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 Funds investment company taxable income and net realized gains. Distributions in excess of the Funds investment company taxable income and net realized gains are a return of capital distributed from the Funds assets. To the extent this occurs, the Funds 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-DIV forms, which are mailed after the close of each calendar year. Distributions of capital decrease the Funds total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Funds expense ratio. In addition, in order to make these distributions, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.
Notice is hereby given in accordance with Rule 23c-1 under the 1940 Act that the Fund may purchase, from time to time, shares of its common stock in the open market.
The following information in this semiannual shareholder report is a summary of certain changes since the Funds most recent annual shareholder report. This information may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you purchased the Fund.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
The Board of Directors of the Fund, including a majority of the directors who are not parties to the Funds investment management agreement (the Management Agreement), or interested persons of any such party (the Independent Directors), has the responsibility under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to approve the Funds Management Agreement for its initial two year term and its continuation annually thereafter at a meeting of the Board of Directors called for the purpose of voting on the approval or continuation. The Management Agreement was discussed at a meeting of the Independent Directors, in their capacity as the Contract Review Committee, held on June 7, 2022 and at meetings of the full Board of Directors held on March 15, 2022 and June 14, 2022. The Independent Directors, in their capacity as the Contract Review Committee, also discussed the Management Agreement in executive session on June 14, 2022. At the meeting of the full Board of Directors on June 14, 2022, the Management Agreement was unanimously continued for a term ending June 30, 2023 by the Funds Board of Directors, including the Independent Directors. The Independent Directors were represented by independent counsel who assisted them in their deliberations during the meetings and executive session.
In considering whether to continue the Management Agreement, the Board of Directors 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 Funds investment manager (the Investment Manager); and a memorandum from counsel to the Independent Directors outlining the legal duties of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also spoke directly with representatives of the independent data provider and met with investment management personnel. In addition, the Board of Directors considered information provided from time to time by the Investment Manager throughout the year at meetings of the Board of Directors, including presentations by portfolio managers relating to the investment performance of the Fund and the investment strategies used in pursuing the Funds objective. The Board of Directors 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. Additionally, the Independent Directors noted that in connection with their considerations, that they had received information from the Investment Manager about, and discussed with the Investment Manager, the operations of its business continuity plan and related matters and the operations of third party service providers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the Board of Directors considered the following:
(i) The nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Investment Manager: The Board of Directors reviewed the services that the Investment Manager provides to the Fund, including, but not limited to, making the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund, placing orders for the investment and reinvestment of the Funds assets, furnishing information to the Board of Directors of the Fund regarding the Funds portfolio, providing individuals to serve as Fund officers, managing the Funds debt leverage level, and generally managing the Funds investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund. The Board of Directors also discussed with officers and portfolio managers of the Fund the types of transactions conducted on behalf of the Fund. Additionally, the Board of Directors took into account the services provided by the Investment Manager to its other funds and accounts, including those that have investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Board of
61
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
Directors also considered the education, background and experience of the Investment Managers personnel, particularly noting the potential benefit that the portfolio managers work experience and favorable reputation can have on the Fund. The Board of Directors further noted the Investment Managers ability to attract qualified and experienced personnel. The Board of Directors also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Manager, including compliance and accounting services. After consideration of the above factors, among others, the Board of Directors concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager are satisfactory and appropriate.
(ii) Investment performance of the Fund and the Investment Manager: The Board of Directors considered the investment performance of the Fund compared to Peer Funds and compared to a relevant linked blended benchmark. The Board of Directors noted that the Funds dual focus on REITs and preferred securities is uncommon and as a result, the Peer Funds generally consisted of real-estate only or preferred-only funds, making it difficult to make quantitative comparisons of the Funds performance with that of the Peer Funds. The Board of Directors noted that the Fund outperformed the Peer Group medians for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2022, ranking the Fund in the second, second, first and first quintiles, respectively. The Fund outperformed the relevant linked blended benchmark for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2022. The Board of Directors engaged in discussions with the Investment Manager regarding the contributors to and detractors from the Funds performance during the period, the relevant implications of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of leverage on the Funds performance. The Board of Directors also considered supplemental information provided by the Investment Manager, including a narrative summary of various factors affecting performance and the Investment Managers performance in managing similarly managed funds and accounts. The Board of Directors determined that Fund performance, in light of all the considerations noted above, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.
(iii) Cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Investment Manager from the relationship with the Fund: The Board of Directors considered the contractual and actual management fees paid by the Fund as well as the Funds total expense ratios. As part of its analysis, the Board of Directors gave consideration to the fee and expense analyses provided by the independent data provider. The Board of Directors considered that the Funds actual management fees at managed and common asset levels are lower than the Peer Group medians, ranking in the first quintile for each. The Board of Directors noted that the Funds total expense ratio including investment-related expenses at common and managed asset levels were higher than the Peer Group median, ranking the Fund in the fourth quintile for each. The Board of Directors also noted that the Funds total expense ratios excluding investment-related expenses at managed and common asset levels were lower than the Peer Group medians, ranking in the first quintile for each. The Board of Directors considered the impact of leverage levels on the Funds fees and expenses at managed and common asset levels. In light of the considerations above, the Board of Directors concluded that the Funds current expense structure was satisfactory.
The Board of Directors also reviewed information regarding the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Fund. The Board of Directors considered the level of the Investment Managers profits and whether the profits were reasonable for the Investment Manager. The Board of Directors took into consideration other benefits to be derived by the Investment Manager in connection
62
COHEN & STEERS REIT AND PREFERRED AND INCOME FUND, INC.
with the Management 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 Manager receives by allocating the Funds brokerage transactions. The Board of Directors further considered that the Investment Manager 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 of Directors also considered the administrative services provided by the Investment Manager and the associated administration fee paid to the Investment Manager for such services under the Administration Agreement. The Board of Directors determined that the services received under the Administration Agreement are beneficial to the Fund. The Board of Directors concluded that the profits realized by the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Fund were reasonable and consistent with the Investment Managers 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 of Directors noted that, as a closed-end fund, the Fund would not be expected to have inflows of capital that might produce increasing economies of scale. The Board of Directors determined that, given the Funds closed-end structure, there were no significant economies of scale that were not already being shared with shareholders. In considering economies of scale, the Board of Directors also noted, as discussed above in (iii), that the Investment Manager 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 management contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisors or other clients: As discussed above in (iii), the Board of Directors compared the fees paid under the Management Agreement to those under other investment management contracts of other investment advisors managing Peer Funds. The Board of Directors also compared the services rendered and fees paid under the Management Agreement to fees paid, including the ranges of such fees, under the Investment Managers other fund management agreements and advisory contracts with institutional and other clients with similar investment mandates, noting that the Investment Manager provides more services to the Fund than it does for institutional or subadvised accounts. The Board of Directors also considered the entrepreneurial risk and financial exposure assumed by the Investment Manager in developing and managing the Fund that the Investment Manager does not have with institutional and other clients and other differences in the management of registered investment companies and institutional accounts. The Board of Directors determined that on a comparative basis the fees under the Management Agreement were reasonable in relation to the services provided.
No single factor was cited as determinative to the decision of the Board of Directors, 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 of Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Management Agreement.

C&S utilizes a team-based approach in managing the registrant. Effective April 29, 2022, Elaine

by the registrants portfolio managers as of June 30, 2022: William F. Scapell Jason A. Yablon Mathew Kirschner Elaine Zaharis-Nikas Jerry Dorost Conflicts of Interest. It is possible that conflicts of interest may arise in connection with the
portfolio managers management of the registrants investments on the one hand and the investments of other accounts or vehicles for which the portfolio managers are responsible on the other. For example, a portfolio manager may have
conflicts of interest in allocating management time, resources and investment opportunities among the registrant and the other accounts or vehicles he advises. In addition, due to differences in the investment strategies or restrictions among the
registrant and the other accounts, a portfolio manager may take action with respect to another account that differs from the action taken with respect to the registrant. In some cases, another account managed by a portfolio manager may provide more revenue to the registrants investment advisor. While this
may appear to create additional conflicts of interest for the portfolio manager in the allocation of management time, resources and investment opportunities, the investment advisor strives to ensure that portfolio managers endeavor to exercise their
discretion in a manner that is equitable to all interested persons. In this regard, in the absence of specific account-related impediments (such as client-imposed restrictions or lack of available cash), it is the policy of the investment advisor to
allocate investment ideas pro rata to all accounts with the same primary investment objective.
In addition, certain of the portfolio managers may from time to time manage one or more accounts
on behalf of the registrants investment advisor and its affiliated companies (the CNS Accounts). Certain securities held and traded in the CNS Accounts also may be held and traded in one or more client accounts. It is the policy of
the investment advisor however not to put the interests of the CNS Accounts ahead of the interests of client accounts. The investment advisor may aggregate orders of client accounts with those of the CNS Accounts; however, under no circumstances
will preferential treatment be given to the CNS Accounts. For all orders involving the CNS Accounts, purchases or sales will be allocated prior to trade placement, and orders that are only partially filled will be allocated across all accounts in
proportion to the shares each account, including the CNS Accounts, was designated to receive prior to trading. As a result, it is expected that the CNS Accounts will receive the same average price as other accounts included in the aggregated order.
Shares will not be allocated or re-allocated to the CNS Accounts after trade execution or after the average price is known. In the event so few shares of an order are executed that a pro-rata allocation is not practical, a rotational system of allocation may be used; however, the CNS Accounts will never be part of that rotation or receive shares of a partially filled order other than on a pro-rata basis. Because certain CNS Accounts are managed with a cash management objective, it is
possible that a security will be sold out of the CNS Accounts but continue to be held for one or more client accounts. In situations when this occurs, such security will remain in a client account only if the portfolio manager, acting in its
reasonable judgment and consistent with its fiduciary duties, believes this is appropriate for, and consistent with the objectives and profile of, the client account. Advisor Compensation Structure. Compensation of the investment advisors portfolio managers and other investment professionals has
three primary components: (1) a base salary, (2) an annual cash bonus and (3) long-term stock-based compensation consisting generally of restricted stock units of the investment advisors parent, CNS. The investment
advisors investment professionals, including the portfolio managers, also receive certain retirement, insurance and other benefits that are broadly available to all of its employees. Compensation of the investment advisors investment
professionals is reviewed primarily on an annual basis. Cash bonuses, stock-based compensation awards, and adjustments in base salary are typically paid or put into effect in the January following the fiscal
year-end of CNS. Method to Determine Compensation. The registrants investment
advisor compensates its portfolio managers based primarily on the total return performance of funds and accounts managed by the portfolio manager versus appropriate peer groups or benchmarks. C&S uses a variety of benchmarks to evaluate each
portfolio managers performance for compensation purposes, including the Morningstar U.S. All Taxable Ex-Foreign Equity Index and other broad based indexes based on the asset classes managed by each
portfolio manager. In evaluating the performance of a portfolio manager, primary emphasis is normally placed on one- and three-year performance, with secondary consideration of performance over longer periods
of time. Performance is evaluated on a pre-tax and pre-expense basis. In addition to rankings within peer groups of funds on the basis of absolute performance,
consideration may also be given to risk-adjusted performance. For funds and accounts with a primary investment objective of high current income, consideration will also be given to the funds and accounts success in achieving
this objective. For portfolio managers responsible for multiple funds and accounts, investment performance is evaluated on an aggregate basis. The investment advisor has three funds or accounts
with performance-based advisory fees. Portfolio managers are also evaluated on the basis of their success in managing their dedicated team of analysts. Base compensation for portfolio managers of the Advisor varies in line with the portfolio
managers seniority and position with the firm. Salaries, bonuses and stock-based compensation are also influenced by the operating
performance of the registrants investment advisor and CNS. While the annual salaries of the Advisors portfolio managers are fixed, cash bonuses and stock based compensation may fluctuate significantly from year to year, based on changes
in manager performance and other factors. Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management
Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers. None. Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None.
