Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE: CNS) is a publicly traded asset management holding company founded in 1986 and headquartered in New York. The firm provides investment management services to institutional investors such as pension funds, endowments, and foundations, offering equity, fixed income, multi-asset, and commodity portfolios, as well as mutual funds and hedge funds launched through its subsidiaries.
The company specializes in real assets and alternative income, with a focus on real estate (including REITs), infrastructure, natural resource equities, commodities, and preferred securities. Its sector focus and product lineup in real assets differentiate it from broader diversified asset managers, and as a publicly listed asset manager (GICS: Asset Management & Custody Banks), its revenue is primarily driven by fees calculated on assets under management (AUM).
- REIT sector performance drives AUM and fee revenue
- Rising rates pressure preferred security and real estate valuations
- Net asset flows reflect demand for real asset strategies
