Cohen & Steers Announces Changes to Realty Indexes

NEW YORK, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE: CNS) announced today a change to its Realty Majors Portfolio Index (RMP) capitalization policy. Currently, individual index constituent capitalization weights are limited to a maximum of 8%. Effective as of close of business on May 17, 2024, constituent weightings will now be subject to an additional adjustment if the sum of the constituents that individually have a weight greater than 4.5% exceeds 45% of the total index.

If the new rule is breached, all constituents with weights greater than 4.5% are sorted in ascending order. The first constituent's weight that breaches this limit is reduced to 4.5%, and the excess weight is evenly redistributed to constituents with an unadjusted weight of less than 4.5%. This process is repeated until the sum of constituents with a weight greater than 4.5% is equal to or less than 45% of the total index.

Rebalancings occur quarterly, except in the event of certain corporate actions, such as stock splits, rights offerings, distributions, reorganizations, recapitalizations or similar events with respect to the component stocks.

Cohen & Steers also announced today pending changes to the constituents of its Realty Majors Portfolio Index (RMP), Global Realty Majors Portfolio Index (GRM) and International Realty Majors Portfolio Index (IRP), effective as of the close of business on May 17, 2024.

These free-float adjusted, modified market capitalization-weighted total return indexes of selected real estate equity securities are quoted intraday on a real-time basis by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The Indexes' modified capitalization-weighted approach and qualitative screening process emphasize companies that Cohen & Steers believes are leading the securitization of real estate globally.

The Indexes can be used as indexing benchmarks, stock selection universes, underlying indexes for derivative instruments or performance benchmarks. All index weightings are independently calculated by Standard & Poor's.
