21.05.2026

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.

By targeting low duration securities, the Fund seeks to reduce portfolio interest-rate sensitivity.

Our shortduration approach is designed to help investors harvest attractive yields while mitigating interestrate 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."

Oberleitungsdefekt bei Bardowick bringt ICE-Verkehr durcheinander

04.05.2026

Ein gerissener Fahrdraht hat am Mittag den Bahnverkehr im Norden Deutschlands erheblich beeinträchtigt. Nahe Bardowick bei Lüneburg prallte ein ICE auf dem Weg von Hamburg nach München gegen eine herunterhängende Oberleitung. In dem betroffenen Zug, dem ICE 589, sitzen nach Angaben der Bundespolizei rund 460 Reisende fest. Verletzt wurde nach bisherigen Erkenntnissen niemand.

Nach ersten Ermittlungen bemerkte der Lokführer etwa 500 Meter nordwestlich des Bahnhofs Bardowick auf Höhe der Straße Witwenkamp, dass die Oberleitung in den Fahrbereich ragte, und leitete umgehend eine Vollbremsung ein. Da die Oberleitung unter einer Spannung von etwa 15.000 Volt steht, besteht nach Einschätzung einer Sprecherin der Deutschen Bahn potenziell Lebensgefahr im unmittelbaren Bereich des Schadens. Die Passagiere sollen über einen anderen Zug evakuiert werden; wie lange dies dauern wird, ist laut Bundespolizei noch unklar.

Der Vorfall führt im Fernverkehr auf der wichtigen Nord-Süd-Achse zu erheblichen Störungen. Züge zwischen Hamburg und Berlin werden aktuell über Hannover umgeleitet, was zu längeren Fahrzeiten und Verspätungen führt. Auch der Regionalverkehr ist betroffen: Die Metronom-Linien RE3 und RB31 verzeichnen auf der Strecke Hamburg–Lüneburg–Uelzen massive Verspätungen und Teilausfälle. Zur Entlastung wurde ein Schienenersatzverkehr mit Bussen eingerichtet.

Die Ursache für den Oberleitungsschaden ist bislang ungeklärt. Spezialteams der Bahn und Einsatzkräfte der Bundespolizei sind vor Ort, um die Lage zu sichern und die Evakuierung der Fahrgäste vorzubereiten. Reisende werden gebeten, sich vor Fahrtantritt über aktuelle Abfahrts- und Ankunftszeiten zu informieren und mehr Zeit für ihre Verbindungen einzuplanen.
