Cohen & Steers' (CNS) December AUM Improves on Upbeat Markets
Cohen & Steers, Inc. (CNS - Free Report) reported preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $83.1 billion as of Dec 31, 2023. This reflected a rise of 5.6% from the prior month's level.
The improvement was driven by a positive net inflow of $61 million and a market appreciation of $4.8 billion. These were partially offset by distributions of $408 million.
Cohen & Steers recorded total institutional accounts of $35 billion at the end of December 2023, increasing 7.1% from the November-end level. Of the total institutional accounts, advisory accounts were $20.3 billion, while the rest were sub-advisory.
Closed-end funds were $11.1 billion, up 3.5% from the November-end level. Also, Open-end funds were $37 billion, which improved 5% from the prior month.
CNS’ diverse product offerings, global reach and investment strategies are expected to support its financials. A solid AUM balance is likely to continue supporting the top line. However, a challenging operating environment is a major near-term headwind, which might hurt its financials to some extent.
Over the past three months, shares of Cohen & Steers have gained 19% compared with the industry’s growth of 16.8%.
