The company recorded total institutional accounts of $29.7 billion at the end of February, down 7.5% on a sequential basis. Of the total institutional accountsas of Feb 29, advisory accounts were $14.6 billion, while the rest were sub-advisory.
Cohen & Steers recorded $30.1 billion in open-end funds, down 7.2% from $31.5 billion in the prior month. Also, close-end funds came in at $9.4 billion, declining 3.2% from January 2020.
With operations at a global level, Cohen & Steers benefits from well-diversified AUM. The company’s widespread product offerings and investment strategies continue to attract investors, in turn supporting revenue growth. However, mounting expenses — mainly due to its continued expansion efforts — will likely impede bottom-line growth to some extent.
Shares of the company have lost 12.7% over the past three months compared with 9.8% decline of the industry it belongs to.
Currently, Cohen & Steers sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
