NEW YORK, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers, Inc. (NYSE: CNS), today announced it is partnering with J.P. Morgan to provide access to the Cohen & Steers SICAV Short Duration Hybrid Credit & Income Fund for investors outside the United States across J.P. Morgan's global wealth management platform, offering their clients a cash alternative.
The Cohen & Steers SICAV Short Duration Hybrid Credit & Income Fund seeks to provide investors with high current income as the primary objective, and capital preservation as a secondary objective, through investments in global hybrid credit securities, while targeting a weighted average duration of less than three years. Hybrid credit securities offer investment opportunities with higher yields than similarly rated bonds. By targeting low duration securities, the Fund seeks to reduce portfolio interest-rate sensitivity.
Elaine Zaharis‑Nikas, Head of Fixed Income & Preferred Securities at Cohen & Steers, said: "Hybrid credit continues to stand out as a compelling source of high‑quality income, particularly for investors seeking resilience in a shifting rate environment. Our short‑duration approach is designed to help investors harvest attractive yields while mitigating interest‑rate sensitivity, and we are excited to bring this capability to more investors through our partnership with J.P. Morgan."
David Conway, Head of International Wholesale Distribution at Cohen & Steers, said:
"We are pleased to partner with one of the world's largest and most highly regarded banks and asset management organizations. As pioneers in hybrid credit strategies, today's announcement highlights the broader industry shift towards greater diversification within fixed income portfolio allocations."

Im Gotthardmassiv im Tessin ist einem internationalen Forschungsteam erstmals gelungen, die Erde kontrolliert zum Beben zu bringen. Im Untergrundlabor "Bedrettolab", das in einem ehemaligen Baustollen des Furkatunnels eingerichtet wurde, lösten Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler gezielt eine Serie von Mikrobeben aus. Die beteiligte Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH Aachen) sprach von einem "sehr erfolgreichen" Versuch.
Über mehrere Tage injizierten Fachleute der ETH Zürich, der RWTH Aachen und des italienischen Nationalen Instituts für Geophysik und Vulkanologie (INGV) Wasser mit hohem Druck in eine natürliche Bruchzone tief im Fels. Ziel des Experiments war es, Spannungsänderungen im Gestein hervorzurufen und damit kleinste Erschütterungen auszulösen. Genau das trat ein: Registriert wurde eine ganze Serie von Mikrobeben, teilweise mit Magnituden knapp unterhalb von 0. An der Erdoberfläche waren diese Ereignisse nicht zu spüren.
Um die künstlich erzeugten Beben detailliert zu erfassen, installierte das Team Hunderte hochsensibler Sensoren in unmittelbarer Nähe der Verwerfung. Die Messinstrumente reagierten so feinfühlig, dass im Bedrettolab sogar das Erdbeben in Japan vom 20. April präzise aufgezeichnet werden konnte. Durch die direkte Platzierung an der Bruchzone konnte die Entstehung der Erschütterungen erstmals am Ursprungsort und nicht wie sonst üblich an der Erdoberfläche verfolgt werden. Die aufgezeichneten Signale seien "unglaublich", sagte Projektleiter Florian Amann von der RWTH Aachen, man erhalte einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Erdbebenphysik.
Das Experiment ist Teil des Projekts "FEAR" – kurz für "Fault Activation and Earthquake Rupture". Langfristig sollen die Daten dazu beitragen, die Vorhersagbarkeit von Erdbeben zu verbessern. Im Fokus steht die Frage, was im Gestein passiert, bevor ein größeres Beben einsetzt. Nach Angaben der Forschenden gehen starken Erdbeben typischerweise tausende kleine Ereignisse voraus. Deren Entwicklung im Labor nachzuzeichnen, soll helfen, die physikalischen Prozesse entlang natürlicher Störungszonen besser zu verstehen und Frühindikatoren für künftige Beben zu identifizieren.
