Preliminary Assets Under Management (AUM) for October 2026
Cohen & Steers released preliminary AUM data for the end of October 2026 on 9 November 2026. Key highlights are:
| Category | AUM (in millions) | Change from 30 Sep 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Mutual Funds | $40,012 | –$270 |
| ETFs | $1,310 | +$128 |
| SICAVs | $2,225 | –$14 |
| Other Wealth | $4,158 | +$16 |
| Total Wealth | $47,705 | –$140 |
| Institutional | $36,208 | –$69 |
| Closed‑end Funds | $12,031 | –$433 |
| Total AUM | $95,944 | –$209 |
The reported unaudited AUM of $95.944 billion at 31 Oct 2026 represents a $3.7 billion increase from $95.9 billion at 30 Sep 2026. The rise is attributed primarily to a $4.0 billion market appreciation, which partially offset net outflows of $209 million and distributions of $155 million. The company’s AUM growth is driven by modest inflows in ETFs and other wealth vehicles, while mutual funds and closed‑end funds experienced slight outflows.
Context and Implications
The disclosure of a significant stake in Prologis aligns with Cohen & Steers’ focus on real‑assets, including real‑estate investment trusts. The AUM data indicates steady growth despite market volatility, reflecting the firm’s continued success in managing portfolios across real assets, preferred securities, and commodity‑linked investments. The company’s market cap of $3.76 billion and a price‑to‑earnings ratio of 22.55 place it within the upper tier of capital‑market firms. The share price stood at $75.07 on 8 Nov 2026, well below the 52‑week high of $86.56 but above the low of $58.39 recorded in December 2025.
