Cohen & Steers Announces Latest Financial Report

Cohen & Steers, Inc., a prominent investment management firm listed on the NYSE under the ticker CNS, has recently published its preliminary financial results for the month ending March 31, 2025. The report highlights a significant change in their assets under management (AUM), noting a total of $87.6 billion. This reflects a decrease of $979 million when compared to the previous month’s figures, which recorded an AUM of $88.6 billion as of February 28, 2025.

This decline in assets is attributed primarily to two main factors: market depreciation and distributions to clients. Specifically, the firm experienced a market depreciation amounting to $1.1 billion, coupled with distributions totaling $301 million. Despite these setbacks, Cohen & Steers managed to achieve net inflows of $452 million, which served as a partial offset to the overall decrease in AUM.
