U.S. GAAP
This section discusses the financial results of the company as presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Revenue
Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $154.2 million, an increase of $9.9 million, or 6.9% from $144.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. The change was primarily due to an increase in investment advisory and administration fees resulting from higher average assets under management across all three investment vehicles and one additional day in the quarter of $11.0 million, partially offset by lower performance fees from certain institutional accounts of $1.8 million. Changes to investment advisory and administration fee revenue by investment vehicle were as follows:
Institutional account revenue increased $658,000 to $38.0 million;
Open-end fund revenue increased $7.8 million to $77.5 million; and
Closed-end fund revenue increased $861,000 to $28.1 million.
Expenses
Expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $86.0 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 1.6% from $84.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. The change was primarily due to:
An increase in distribution and services fees of $1.1 million, primarily due to higher average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds, partially offset by a shift in the composition of assets under management into lower cost share classes; and
Higher general and administrative expenses of $515,000, primarily due to higher travel and entertainment expenses.
Operating Margin
Operating margin was 44.3% for the third quarter of 2021, compared with 41.4% for the second quarter of 2021. Operating margin represents the ratio of operating income to revenue.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was 26.0%, compared with 25.4% for the second quarter of 2021. For both quarters, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state, local and foreign income taxes and limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation, partially offset by the cumulative effect of a change in the company’s estimated effective tax rate for the year.

Advisory:

Assets under management in closed-end funds at September 30, 2021 were $12.3 billion, a decrease of 1.7% from $12.5 billion at June 30, 2021. The decrease was due to net outflows of $101 million which was primarily due to the liquidation of Cohen & Steers MLP Income and Energy Opportunity Fund, Inc., and distributions of $147 million, partially offset by market appreciation of $31 million.

Investment Performance at September 30, 2021
investmentgraph0921a.jpg
_________________________
(1)    Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Outperformance is determined by comparing the annualized investment performance of each investment strategy to the performance of specified reference benchmarks. Investment performance in excess of the performance of the benchmark is considered outperformance. The investment performance calculation of each investment strategy is based on all active accounts and investment models pursuing similar investment objectives. For accounts, actual investment performance is measured gross of fees and net of withholding taxes. For investment models, for which actual investment performance does not exist, the investment performance of a composite of accounts pursuing comparable investment objectives is used as a proxy for actual investment performance. The performance of the specified reference benchmark for each account and investment model is measured net of withholding taxes, where applicable. This is not investment advice and may not be construed as sales or marketing material for any financial product or service sponsored or provided by Cohen & Steers.

Morningstar calculates its ratings based on a risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive five stars, the next 22.5% receive four stars, the next 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% receive two stars and the bottom 10% receive one star. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Based on independent rating by Morningstar, Inc. of investment performance of each Cohen & Steers-sponsored open-end U.S.-registered mutual fund for all share classes for the overall period at September 30, 2021. Overall Morningstar rating is a weighted average based on the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year Morningstar rating. Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.

Reconciliations of U.S. GAAP to As Adjusted Financial Results
Management believes that use of the following as adjusted (non-GAAP) financial results provides greater transparency into the company's operating performance. In addition, these as adjusted financial results are used to prepare the company's internal management reports which are used in evaluating its business.
While management believes that these as adjusted financial results are useful in evaluating operating performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
