Investors should be aware that the utility and infrastructure sectors are subject to unique risks, including those related to general and local economic conditions, political developments, changes in regulations, environmental problems, casualty losses, and changes in interest rates [1]. The fund's portfolio is further exposed to these risks due to its concentration in these industries.

Moreover, investing internationally, which is a common practice for funds seeking to diversify their portfolios, adds additional risks such as currency, political, accounting, economic, and market risks [1]. The fund's portfolio also includes investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), which are subject to tax law changes, regulation, and factors affecting underlying assets [1].

The fund's management team, led by Chief Investment Officer Eric Elvekrog, has a proven track record of navigating these risks and identifying opportunities for growth within the utility and infrastructure sectors. With a research focus on global utility and infrastructure companies, Mr. Elvekrog and his team are well-positioned to capitalize on trends and developments within these industries [1].

Investors interested in the Duff & Phelps Utility and Infrastructure Fund should carefully consider the risks associated with the fund's investments and the broader market. Although there is no guarantee that the portfolio will meet its objective, the fund's managed distribution plan provides shareholders with a steady stream of income.
