European Real Estate Securities

Cohen & Steers European Real Estate Securities strategy seeks to benefit from economic growth in the United Kingdom and continental Europe by investing in REITs and other publicly traded real estate securities. We screen for securities that we believe have the greatest potential for diversification, competitive total return and current income, and select companies with strong market positions, superior management teams and first-tier properties.

Investment Opportunity
European governments are introducing REITs and REIT-like structures in an effort to unlock value in their countries' real estate assets and to broaden the ownership base. Investors can participate through Cohen & Steers European Real Estate strategy—an active, risk-managed approach focused on companies with the potential to benefit from the securitization of European real estate.

Portfolio characteristics
  • Typically 20–45 holdings
  • Investments in Europe with a maximum security weighting of 10%
  • Portfolios diversified by country, currency and property sector
