Cohen & Steers, Inc. (CNS Quick QuoteCNS - Free Report) reported preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $77.2 billion as of Apr 30, 2024. This reflected a decline of 4.9% from the prior month's level.

The decrease was due to market depreciation of $3.9 billion, net outflows of $74 million and distributions of $151 million.

Cohen & Steers recorded total institutional accounts of $30.6 billion at the end of April 2024, falling 5.5% from the March 2024-end level. Of the total institutional accounts, advisory accounts were $17.4 billion, while the rest were sub-advisory.

Closed-end funds were $10.7 billion, down 3.4% from the March 2024-end level. Further, Open-end funds were $35.8 billion, which declined 5.1% from the previous 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 six months, Cohen & Steers shares have gained 35.5% compared with the industry’s growth of 26.3%.
