NEW YORK, July 15, 2010 - Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE: CNS) is marking the fifth anniversary of its
Hong Kong office, which was established in July 2005. The anniversary
coincides with the addition of three new hires who will expand and enhance
the firm's capabilities in the region.

service for Asia. He will focus on expanding Cohen & Steers' institutional
relationships in Asia ex-Japan and will oversee institutional client service.
Before joining Cohen & Steers, Mr. Chan was a vice president with Bank of New

The firm also added Grace Ding as a Hong Kong-based member of the global
listed infrastructure research team. Ms. Ding came from Nomura International

and electric power companies.

Jackie Choy, formerly with Lehman Brothers, is a research analyst
covering Hong Kong and China. He is part of the Hong Kong research team
dedicated to the Asia Pacific listed real estate sector, which is led by Luke
Sullivan, the regional portfolio manager.

"Our Hong Kong office is enormously important to our global presence, and
we are pleased to offer our clients-current and prospective-the best in
research and portfolio management," said Robert Steers, co-chairman and
co-chief executive officer of Cohen & Steers. "I am confident that Anton will
