NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE: CNS) is adding to its suite of actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with the launch of two new strategies: the Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Opportunities Active ETF (NYSE Arca: CSIO) and the Cohen & Steers Short Duration Preferred and Income Active ETF (NYSE Arca: CSSD). CSIO and CSSD began trading on the NYSE Arca today.

Daniel Noonan, Head of Global Distribution, said: 
"Active ETFs are the fastest growing investment vehicle in U.S. wealth and have become the preferred allocation choice for many wealth managers and their clients. Cohen & Steers brings decades of proven expertise in infrastructure and preferred securities. The launch of these two strategies reflects our commitment to help clients build better portfolios for today's markets."

As a leading specialty active manager and a pioneer in listed real assets and alternative income for nearly four decades, Cohen & Steers now offers five actively managed ETFs focused on real estate, infrastructure, natural resources and preferred securities. These strategies deliver the best of Cohen & Steers combined with the advantages of active ETFs, including lower costs, tax efficiency, transparency and intraday liquidity.

Joseph Harvey, Chief Executive Officer, said: 
"The launch of these two ETFs builds on the success we have seen this year in our active ETF suite, reflecting a growing appetite from investors for targeted, actively managed strategies from managers with a strong track record generating alpha1. We see significant tailwinds for real assets and preferred securities and believe that an allocation to these asset classes can lead to superior investment outcomes compared to traditional 60/40 stock bond portfolios."
