Strategic Moves in the ETF Marketplace: Cohen & Steers Expands Leadership Team

Cohen & Steers, Inc. announces a significant enhancement to its presence in the exchange-traded fund (ETF) sector with the appointment of two seasoned executives, Griffin Frank and Alexander Berg, to lead its ETF Capital Markets and ETF Sales divisions, respectively. This strategic move occurs in the wake of the firm’s recent launch of three fully transparent Active ETFs that focus on real estate, preferred securities, and natural resource equities. As the demand for actively managed investment products continues to grow, these appointments signal Cohen & Steers' commitment to leveraging its expertise in real assets and alternative income strategies.

Griffin Frank, who steps in as Head of ETF Capital Markets, brings over 23 years of extensive industry experience, having previously worked at T. Rowe Price and Vanguard. His role will involve managing liquidity strategies for Cohen & Steers' Active ETF platform, which is crucial for ensuring that investors can efficiently buy and sell shares in the funds. Frank's background as Vice President in T. Rowe Price’s ETF capital markets division equips him with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of the ETF marketplace and enhance the firm's competitive edge.

Meanwhile, Alexander Berg, appointed as Head of ETF Sales, carries 16 years of ETF sales experience, previously serving at State Street Global Advisors. His primary focus will be on driving growth for Cohen & Steers' Active ETF platform, ensuring that the firm's innovative offerings reach a broader audience. Both leaders will report to senior executives within the company, fostering collaboration to elevate the firm’s position in the ETF marketplace. CEO Joseph Harvey highlights the excitement surrounding these hires, reaffirming Cohen & Steers' dedication to providing investors with enhanced access to actively managed real assets and alternative income strategies.

In addition to these leadership changes, Cohen & Steers continues to emphasize the importance of investor education. The firm advises potential investors to carefully consider their investment objectives and the associated risks before committing to any funds. This commitment to transparency and informed decision-making aligns with the growing trend in the investment management industry toward more active engagement with clients.

Cohen & Steers, founded in 1986 and headquartered in New York City, has established itself as a leader in real assets and alternative income investment strategies. With a global presence in major finance hubs, the firm is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing interest in actively managed investment products, particularly in the context of real estate and natural resources. The strategic appointments of Frank and Berg are seen as a pivotal step in reinforcing the firm’s capabilities and expanding its market share in the evolving ETF landscape.
