Analysts at Meridian Capital have upgraded Cohen & Steers, Inc. to Buy from Hold, citing the firm’s recent ETF launches and key leadership appointments. In the past six months, CNS rolled out two new exchange-traded funds targeting global infrastructure and preferred securities, which have collectively attracted more than $450 million in net inflows since launch. The success of these products builds on the firm’s existing suite of nine alternative-income and real-asset funds, which manage over $65 billion in assets. To capitalize on growing demand in private real estate and the Asia-Pacific region, CNS appointed Jessica Lin as Head of Private Real Estate Solutions, bringing 25 years of industry experience, and named Hiroshi Takeda as Regional Director for Japan, where the firm aims to expand its local distribution network and launch tailored mandates later this year.
