Analysts at a leading brokerage firm have upgraded Cohen & Steers from Hold to Buy, highlighting the firm’s successful launches of two thematic ETFs in the past year. The new Asia-focused infrastructure ETF attracted $250 million in inflows during its first quarter and follows the October debut of the Global Real Assets Income ETF, which gathered $180 million within six weeks. The upgrade also cites the appointment of Sarah Lin as Head of Private Real Estate, bringing 15 years of institutional investment experience, and the hire of Kenji Watanabe to lead the Tokyo office. These moves are expected to drive additional asset inflows, particularly in fast-growing Asian markets and non-listed real estate strategies.

Cohen & Steers announced it will release its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results after market close on January 22, 2026. Management will host a conference call on January 23 at 10:00 a.m. ET, featuring CEO Joseph Harvey, Interim CFO Michael Donohue, and President & CIO Jon Cheigh. Participants can access the webcast through the company’s Investor Relations site or by dialing in with passcode 8494569. The replay will remain available for two weeks by phone and one month via webcast. Investors will be watching for trends in fee-earning assets under management, net inflows, and margins across listed and private real assets.

Founded in 1986 and headquartered in New York City, Cohen & Steers manages real assets and alternative income strategies, including listed real estate, preferred securities, infrastructure, resource equities and commodities. With offices in London, Dublin, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore, the firm leverages regional expertise to source investment opportunities. The combination of new product success and targeted hires in key markets positions CNS to capture rising institutional demand for yield and diversification, reinforcing its competitive edge.
