Yahoo Finance Cohen & Steers' (CNS) April AUM Improves on Solid Inflows
Cohen & Steers CNS reported preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $92.8 billion as of Apr 30, 2021, which reflects an increase of 6.7% from the prior-month level. Net inflows of $821 million and market appreciation of $5.2 billion were partially offset by distributions of $200 million.
The company recorded total institutional accounts of $39.3 billion at the end of April, up 7.6% from the March-end level. Of the total institutional accounts, advisory accounts were $22 billion, while the rest were sub-advisory.
