Vince Childers, Head of Real Assets Multi-Strategy at Cohen & Steers, said:
"We believe we have entered an era of scarcity shaped by rising demand for energy and materials, deglobalization, and persistent supply constraints. In this environment, investors need more than a short-term inflation hedge. A thoughtfully blended real assets allocation can offer three important benefits: positive inflation sensitivity, diversification, and long-term total return potential. CSRA brings these complementary exposures together in a single actively managed strategy without having to manage separate allocations across real estate, infrastructure, natural resources and commodities."
Alex Berg, Head of ETF Sales at Cohen & Steers, said:
"ETFs have become a preferred investment vehicle for investors, and the rapid growth of active ETFs reflects increasing demand for differentiated, actively managed solutions. Building on this momentum, CSRA brings together Cohen & Steers' real assets expertise into one actively managed ETF, providing investors with diversified access to the essential assets that underpin the global economy. As pioneers in real asset investing, we are pleased to introduce CSRA to our growing active ETF lineup – the next step in our commitment to helping investors build better portfolios."

Investing involves risk, including entire loss of capital invested. There can be no assurance that the investment strategy will meet its investment objectives. Diversification is not guaranteed to ensure a profit or protect against loss. A real assets strategy is subject to the risk that its asset allocations may not achieve the desired risk return characteristic, underperform other similar investment strategies or cause an investor to lose money. Risks of investing in REITs are similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate securities, including (i) property values may fall due to increasing vacancies, declining rents resulting from economic, legal, tax, political or technological developments, lack of liquidity, limited diversification and sensitivity to certain economic factors such as interest rate changes and market recessions. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The use of derivatives presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities, including market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, leverage risk and liquidity risk and can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. Securities of natural resource companies may be affected by events occurring in nature, inflationary pressures and international politics. Global infrastructure securities may be subject to regulation by various governmental authorities, such as rates charged to customers, operational or other mishaps, tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards. Foreign securities involve special risks, including currency fluctuation and lower liquidity.
