Founded in 1986 by Martin Cohen and Robert Steers, Cohen & Steers was the first U.S. investment advisor to focus on real estate securities. Since inception, the firm has recognized the power of real asset strategies that provide investors a value-added approach to investing in real assets, which are historically characterized by attractive and predictable income, strong total returns, low volatility, and low correlations to broader equity and fixed income markets.

As of December 31, 2019, the firm had US$72.2 billion in assets under management.
