Cohen & Steers Capital Advisors
Cohen & Steers Capital Advisors was established in 2014 as the private markets division of Cohen & Steers, a publicly traded asset manager known for real estate and listed real assets. Jon Cheigh serves as CEO, with Rajiv Jain as CIO and Joseph Harvey as President — each brings decades of institutional investment experience from the parent firm. The strategy focuses on real estate equity, infrastructure debt, energy transition infrastructure, and private credit across direct investments, co-investments, and commingled vehicles. Geographic reach spans North America, Europe, and select Asian markets. Known positions have included investments in the Flexi-Group logistics platform and partnership with Brookfield on infrastructure debt deals. The firm operates from London, Plymouth Meeting, La Jolla, Toronto, New York, Albany, Utrecht, and Vancouver. Cohen & Steers' listed parent reported $92.8 billion in assets under management as of March 2025, which includes the capital advisors unit's assets within its total. Team size is undisclosed. A structural differentiator is Cohen & Steers Capital Advisors' ability to leverage the parent firm's deep public markets real estate research and relationships for private market sourcing — a model that bridges public and private real assets under one roof.
