Cohen & Steers is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is an investment manager focusing on real assets and alternative income, including real estate, preferred securities, infrastructure, resource equities, commodities, as well as multi-strategy solutions. Co. manages three types of investment vehicles: institutional accounts, which represent portfolios of securities it manages for institutional clients; open-end funds, which provide and issue shares continuously as assets are invested and redeem shares when assets are withdrawn; and closed-end funds, which are registered investment companies that have issued a fixed number of shares through public offerings. The CNS YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the CNS YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether CNS YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the CNS YTD return calculation (with any dividends reinvested as applicable), and to provide a
coverage universe of many stocks and ETFs to be able to compare YTD returns.
