Cohen & Steers, Inc., a renowned global investment manager specializing in real assets and alternative income, recently announced its preliminary assets under management (AUM) for September 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, Cohen & Steers reported total AUM of $75.2 billion, representing a decrease of $4.9 billion from the previous month. This decline can be attributed to market depreciation of $4.3 billion, net outflows of $290 million, and distributions of $283 million. While these factors have impacted the overall AUM, it is important to note that Cohen & Steers remains a formidable player in the industry.

Breaking down the AUM by investment vehicle, the company’s institutional accounts showcased a total AUM of $31.2 billion. Despite experiencing a decrease of $2.0 billion due to market depreciation and other factors, Cohen & Steers’ advisory services maintained a strong presence with an AUM of $17.9 billion. The Japan Subadvisory and Subadvisory excluding Japan also contributed significantly to the institutional accounts, with AUMs of $8.1 billion and $5.2 billion respectively.

In addition to institutional accounts, Cohen & Steers’ open-end funds and closed-end funds also played a crucial role in its AUM. The open-end funds reported an AUM of $33.7 billion, while the closed-end funds accounted for $10.3 billion. Despite minor fluctuations, these investment vehicles continue to contribute to the company’s overall success.
