NEW YORK, March 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE:CNS) announced today that the Cohen & Steers Real Estate Securities Fund (CSDIX) and the Cohen & Steers Institutional Realty Shares (CSRIX) have received 2024 LSEG Lipper Fund Awards for their strong risk-adjusted performance for the 10-year and 5-year periods, respectively, ended November 30, 2023. This is the ninth consecutive year Lipper has recognized CSDIX and the second consecutive year Lipper has recognized CSRIX.

Jason Yablon, Head of Listed Real Estate, said:

"We are honored to be recognized by the LSEG Lipper Awards for our listed real estate performance. We believe actively managed listed real estate deserves a place in investor portfolios as a strategic allocation. Further, as we enter a new macroeconomic regime characterized by the end of the Fed hiking cycle, pullbacks in the market can present attractive entry points."

In 2023, CSDIX received a Lipper Fund Award in the Real Estate category for the prior 10-year period, winning against 135 share classes while CSRIX received an award for the prior 5-year period against 184 share classes. In 2024, the Real Estate category for the 10-year period included 136 share classes, while the Real Estate category for the 5-year period included 189 share classes.

In 2019, Cohen & Steers closed CSDIX to new investors, although it remains open to its current shareholders, participants in qualifying retirement plans and existing intermediary-sponsored discretionary models. Cohen & Steers continues to offer attractive options for new investors looking to participate in real estate opportunities, through mutual funds, collective investment trusts and separate accounts. These include the firm's flagship real estate funds, Cohen & Steers Realty Shares (A: CSJAX; I: CSJIX) and Cohen & Steers Institutional Realty Shares (CSRIX), which invest primarily in high-quality, large- and mid-cap real estate companies.

Risks of Investing in Real Estate Securities

The risks of investing in real estate securities are similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate, including falling property values due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, political or technological developments, lack of liquidity, limited diversification and sensitivity to certain economic factors such as interest rate changes and market recessions. The Funds are classified as "non-diversified" funds under federal securities laws because they can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified fund. However, the Funds must meet certain diversification requirements under U.S. tax laws.

Cohen & Steers U.S. registered open-end funds are distributed by Cohen & Steers Securities, LLC and are only available to U.S. residents.
