Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE: CNS) announced a partnership with J.P. Morgan to provide access to the Cohen & Steers SICAV Short Duration Hybrid Credit & Income Fund for investors outside the United States through J.P. Morgan's global wealth management platform.

The fund seeks to provide high current income as its primary objective and capital preservation as a secondary objective through investments in global hybrid credit securities. The fund targets a weighted average duration of less than three years to reduce portfolio interest-rate sensitivity.

"Hybrid credit continues to stand out as a compelling source of high-quality income, particularly for investors seeking resilience in a shifting rate environment," said Elaine Zaharis-Nikas, Head of Fixed Income & Preferred Securities at Cohen & Steers. "Our short-duration approach is designed to help investors harvest attractive yields while mitigating interest-rate sensitivity."

David Conway, Head of International Wholesale Distribution at Cohen & Steers, noted the partnership with one of the world's largest banks and asset management organizations represents a broader industry shift towards greater diversification within fixed income portfolio allocations.
