The move also underscores the firm’s dedication to bolstering its U.S. and global real estate capabilities under Mr. Yabon’s guidance, further building upon Cohen & Steers’ legacy as a pioneering real estate investor for more than 35 years.

As Head of Listed Real Estate, Mr. Yablon will continue reporting to Jon Cheigh, Chief Investment Officer. Mr. Cheigh is also a senior portfolio manager and a member of Cohen & Steers’ Executive Committee.

Jon Cheigh, Chief Investment Officer, said:

“Jason has been essential to the firm's long-term track record of generating impressive investment performance throughout his 19-year tenure at Cohen & Steers as an analyst, portfolio manager, and head of U.S. real estate. As important, Jason will continue our strategic focus on developing talent and investment innovation. I’m pleased to hand over the reins of leading our global real estate team to such a talented, selfless and dedicated leader as Jason.”
