The increase in total investment advisory and administration fees from the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily due to higher average assets under management across all three types of investment vehicles and an increase in the average effective fee rate, partially offset by one less day in the quarter. The fourth quarter of 2023 included performance fees from certain institutional accounts of $1.3 million.

Distribution and service fees increased from the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher average assets under management in U.S. open-end funds;
General and administrative expenses decreased from the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower rent expense of $1.6 million related to the expiration of the lease for the company’s prior headquarters in January 2024 and a decrease in recruitment fees of $314,000; and

Assets under management at March 31, 2024 were $81.2 billion, a decrease of 2.3% from $83.1 billion at December 31, 2023. The decrease was due to net outflows of $2.0 billion and distributions of $610 million, partially offset by market appreciation of $679 million.
Open-end Funds
Assets under management in open-end funds at March 31, 2024 were $37.7 billion, an increase of 1.8% from $37.0 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the following:
Net inflows of $325 million into U.S. real estate and $288 million into preferred securities, partially offset by net outflows of $70 million from global listed infrastructure;
Market appreciation of $410 million from preferred securities, partially offset by market depreciation of $92 million from U.S. real estate; and
Distributions of $135 million from U.S. real estate and $132 million from preferred securities. Of these distributions, $228 million was reinvested and included in net flows.
Institutional Accounts
Assets under management in institutional accounts at March 31, 2024 were $32.4 billion, a decrease of 7.4% from $35.0 billion at December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the following:
Advisory:    
Net outflows of $2.0 billion from global/international real estate, primarily due to the termination of two client accounts resulting from the elimination of real estate from their respective strategic asset allocations, and $302 million from preferred securities, partially offset by net inflows of $120 million into U.S. real estate; and
Market appreciation of $93 million from global listed infrastructure.
Japan subadvisory:
Net outflows of $205 million from global/international real estate and $104 million from U.S. real estate; and

Distributions of $169 million from U.S. real estate.

Investment Performance at March 31, 2024
investmentgraph324.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.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. 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 March 31, 2024. 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.

Balance Sheet Information
As of March 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Treasurys and liquid seed investments were $233.1 million, compared with $318.8 million as of December 31, 2023. The change was primarily due to the payment of year-end cash bonuses to employees, repurchases of common stock to satisfy employee withholding tax obligations on the
vesting and delivery of restricted stock units and the funding of a portion of the company’s capital commitment to Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. As of March 31, 2024, stockholders' equity was $378.9 million, compared with $381.2 million as of December 31, 2023.

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.
