Equity and Credit Market Headwinds Continue to Pressure Cohen & Steers' Flows and Market Gains

While the combination of rising interest rates and an equity market selloff has had a negative impact on Cohen & Steers' level of managed assets, we remain cautiously optimistic about the firm. The company closed out the September quarter with $75.2 billion in managed assets, split among U.S. real estate (45% of total assets under management), global/international real estate (20%), global listed infrastructure (10%), preferred securities (23%), and other offerings. Market losses have had a bigger negative impact on AUM since the start of 2022, with Cohen & Steers experiencing a 21.7% decline in managed assets due to market losses the past seven calendar quarters. This was, however, better market-related performance than the FTSE Nareit All REITs TR Index (down 29.0%) and the Morningstar Global Markets REIT TR Index (down 29.1%).
