Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund is a closed-end fund that invests primarily in securities of companies in the infrastructure space. For nearly 20 years since its inception, the UTF CEF has offered nearly 9% of annualized total returns and is currently paying 8.35% in distribution income. We believe UTF is an excellent fund for income investors; we would rate the fund as a selective "buy" for new investors. For existing investors, it is a "Hold." It may be preferable to dollar-cost-average the buy instead of a lump sum.

Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund remains a solid long-term play on the infrastructure space while providing monthly cash flow for investors. The UTF closed-end fund's global exposure and leverage add to its potential upside in a continuing recovery, and the fund has historically performed well against its benchmark. I expect utilities and infrastructure to have a better performance in 2024, but I would be looking at a larger discount for UTF before adding significantly.

UTF: Solid Long-Term Infrastructure Fund Providing Monthly Distributions

Utilities stocks faced significant pressure in 2023 due to the Fed's interest rate hikes, but the sector bottomed out in October 2023. Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Fund focuses on infrastructure companies and uses leverage to potentially increase dividend yield. UTF has recovered nearly 26% from its October lows and remains a solid income-generating investment for income-focused investors.

Total Return is the actual rate of return for an investment over a given evaluation period, typically one, three, five, or ten years. The Total NAV Return is the sum of all dividends/distributions, assuming they are reinvested, plus the change in the NAV of the fund, be it positive or negative. However, managing our portfolio is not only about applying financial rules, because it is not certain that dividends can and will always be reinvested.
