About Cohen & Steers, INC.

Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE: CNS) is a publicly listed U.S. asset manager headquartered in New York City, United States. Founded in 1986, the firm has built a recognizable franchise as a specialist in real assets and alternative income. Rather than competing as a broad, all-purpose asset manager, Cohen & Steers has historically focused on asset classes that investors often use for diversification, income generation, and inflation sensitivity. Its core business spans listed and private real estate, preferred securities, infrastructure, resource equities, commodities, and multi-strategy solutions. This specialization is central to the company’s investment proposition and commercial identity. Cohen & Steers serves a mix of institutional and intermediary clients, including corporate retirement plans, public and union retirement plans, endowments, foundations, financial advisors, registered investment advisors, bank trusts, OCIO providers, and retail investors through managed vehicles. The platform therefore combines traditional asset-management fee streams with a product mix anchored in niche, income-oriented strategies. From a competitive standpoint, Cohen & Steers stands out as a specialist rather than a scale-driven diversified manager. That can be an advantage in areas such as listed real estate, preferreds, and infrastructure, where expertise, research depth, and long-term consistency matter more than sheer breadth. The firm’s franchise is also supported by an international operating footprint, with offices in New York, London, Dublin, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore, helping it serve global investors and maintain market access across regions. Recent corporate developments underscore an active product and strategy pipeline. In December 2025, the company launched active ETFs focused on infrastructure opportunities and short-duration preferred securities. In March 2026, it announced plans to convert the Cohen & Steers Future of Energy Fund into an ETF. The firm also reported preliminary assets under management of $90.5 billion as of December 31, 2025, and $93.1 billion as of March 31, 2026, reflecting the ongoing scale of the platform and the sensitivity of AUM to both market moves and net flows. For investors, Cohen & Steers is best understood as a specialized U.S. listed NYSE manager with a focused product set, a long operating history, and a strong brand in real-assets investing.
