Cohen & Steers Reports Preliminary Assets Under Management for September 2026

Cohen & Steers, Inc., a prominent global investment management firm, has announced its preliminary assets under management (AUM) as of September 30, 2026. The company reported total AUM of $95.9 billion, signifying a decrease of $5.1 billion compared to the $101.0 billion recorded on August 31, 2026. This decline can be attributed to several factors, primarily market depreciation and distributions made during the period.

Details of the Changes

The $5.1 billion drop in AUM stemmed from a market depreciation of the same amount, alongside distributions totaling $323 million. However, it is noteworthy that Cohen & Steers experienced net inflows of $335 million, which partially offset the overall loss.

Breakdown of Assets

The AUM is categorized by different investment vehicles:
1. Institutional Accounts:
- Advisory: From $23.0 billion, down to $21.8 billion, affected by market conditions and a minor distribution.
- Subadvisory: This category fell from $15.7 billion to $14.4 billion, again underlining the impact of depreciation and withdrawals.
- Total Institutional Accounts decreased to $36.2 billion.

2. Open-end Funds:
- These funds saw a slight increase in net inflows, amounting to $598 million, but the total dropped from $49.7 billion to $47.7 billion due to significant market pressures.

3. Closed-end Funds:
- This segment decreased from $12.6 billion to approximately $12.0 billion, primarily impacted by market fluctuations as well.

In summary, while market conditions heavily influenced the overall decrease in assets, the firm managed to attract some new capital in the process. Overall, the figures highlight the volatility in the market and the implications this has on investment management firms like Cohen & Steers.
