Cohen & Steers was founded by Martin Cohen and Robert Steers in 1986 as the first U.S. investment advisor to specialize in real estate securities.

Initially focused on U.S. REITs, the firm expanded operations to Europe and Asia Pacific as the global real estate securities markets evolved, forming the industry’s largest global investment team dedicated to real estate securities. Over the years and through careful consideration, Cohen & Steers also developed capabilities in adjacent asset classes including listed infrastructure, resource equities, and preferred securities, and has been a pioneer in creating investment strategies and vehicles designed to meet investors’ increasing demand for dividend income and real returns.

Our Infrastructure and InvITs practice group has been instrumental in development of the InvIT regime in India.
