COHEN & STEERS, INC. Set forth on the following pages is management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 and 2021. Such information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included herein. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. When we use the terms "Cohen & Steers ," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our," we meanCohen & Steers, Inc. , aDelaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. Executive Overview General We are a global investment manager specializing in real assets and alternative income, including real estate, preferred securities, infrastructure, resource equities, commodities, as well as multi-strategy solutions. Founded in 1986, we are headquartered inNew York City , with offices inLondon ,Dublin ,Hong Kong andTokyo . Our primary investment strategies includeU.S. real estate, preferred securities and low duration preferred securities, global/international real estate, global listed infrastructure, real assets multi-strategy, midstream energy and MLPs, as well as global natural resource equities. Our strategies seek to achieve a variety of investment objectives for different risk profiles and are actively managed by specialist teams of investment professionals who employ fundamental-driven research and portfolio management processes. We offer our strategies through a variety of investment vehicles, includingU.S. and non-U.S. registered funds and other commingled vehicles, separate accounts and subadvised portfolios.
Our distribution network encompasses two major channels, wealth and institutional. Our wealth channel includes registered investment advisers, wirehouses, independent and regional broker dealers and bank trusts. Our institutional channel includes sovereign wealth funds, corporate plans, insurance companies and public funds, including defined benefit and defined contribution plans, as well as other financial institutions that access our investment management services directly or through consultants and other intermediaries.
Our revenue from the wealth channel is derived from investment advisory, administration, distribution and service fees from Company-sponsored open-end and closed-end funds. Our revenue from the institutional channel is derived from fees received from our clients for managing advised and subadvised accounts. Our fees are based on contractually specified rates applied to the value of the assets we manage and, in certain cases, may include a performance-based fee. Our revenue fluctuates with changes in the total value of our assets under management, which may occur as a result of market appreciation and depreciation, contributions or withdrawals from investor accounts and distributions. This revenue is recognized over the period that the assets are managed. The Russian invasion ofUkraine has impacted global financial markets, introducing new threats to global economic growth and adding to inflationary pressures. We have taken measures to ensure ongoing compliance with all applicable sanctions and guidance issued by authorities globally against certain regions, entities, or individuals. Our overall exposure to Russian and Ukrainian securities is limited and we do not expect a material impact to our financial results. 20 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Outperformance is
determined by comparing the annualized investment performance of each investment
strategy to the performance of specified reference benchmarks. Investment
performance in excess of the performance of the benchmark is considered
outperformance. The investment performance calculation of each investment
strategy is based on all active accounts and investment models pursuing similar
investment objectives. For accounts, actual investment performance is measured
gross of fees and net of withholding taxes. For investment models, for which
actual investment performance does not exist, the investment performance of a
composite of accounts pursuing comparable investment objectives is used as a
proxy for actual investment performance. The performance of the specified
reference benchmark for each account and investment model is measured net of
withholding taxes, where applicable. This is not investment advice and may not

Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We seek to maintain a capital structure that supports our business strategies and maintains the appropriate amount of liquidity at all times. Furthermore, we currently expect cash flows from operations to be more than adequate to fund our present and reasonably foreseeable future commitments for investing and financing activities.
Net Liquid Assets
Our current financial condition is highly liquid and is primarily comprised of
cash and cash equivalents,
The table below summarizes net liquid assets:
March 31, December 31,
(in thousands) 2022 2021
Cash and cash equivalents $ 84,817 $ 184,373
U.S. Treasury securities 29,945 -
Liquid seed investments-net 63,432 62,679
Other current assets 90,178 84,533
Current liabilities (71,559) (118,888)
Net liquid assets $ 196,813 $ 212,697
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are on deposit with several highly-rated financial
institutions and include short-term, highly liquid investments, which are
readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or
less.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 , we paid aggregate costs of $15.2
million associated with the initial public offering of RLTY. We also funded an
additional $18.0 million of our up to $50.0 million investment commitment in the
Cohen & Steers Real Estate Opportunities Fund, L.P. (REOF) during the quarter.
Refer to Investment Commitments, Contractual Obligations, Commitments and
Contingencies for further discussion.
Liquid seed investments-net
Liquid seed investments are generally traded in active markets on major exchanges and can typically be liquidated within a normal settlement cycle. Liquid seed investments are presented net of redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Other current assets
Other current assets primarily represent investment advisory and administration fees receivable. AtMarch 31, 2022 , institutional accounts comprised 52.0% of total accounts receivable, while open-end and closed-end funds, together, comprised 47.1% of total accounts receivable. We perform a review of our receivables on an ongoing basis in order to assess collectibility and, based on our analysis atMarch 31, 2022 , there was no allowance for uncollectible accounts required.
Current liabilities
Current liabilities included accrued compensation and benefits, distribution and service fees payable, operating lease obligations due within 12 months, certain income taxes payable, and other liabilities and accrued expenses.
Cash flows
Our cash flows generally result from the operating activities of our business, with investment advisory and administration fees being the most significant contributor.
