Cohen & Steers Continues to Post Positive Flows Even as Market Losses Have an Impact on Its AUM

Greggory Warren, CFA Sector Strategist

Business Strategy and Outlook

| Greggory Warren, CFA |

While the combination of rising interest rates and an equity market selloff has had an impact on Cohen & Steers' levels of assets under management, we remain cautiously optimistic about the firm over the near to medium term. Cohen & Steers came into 2022 with a record $106.6 billion in managed assets, split among its U.S. real estate (47% of total AUM), global/international real estate (18%), global listed infrastructure (8%), and preferred securities (25%) offerings. But market depreciation during the first eight months of the year left the company with $89.8 billion in managed assets at the end of August.
