# QUICK SPARK: This New ETF Puts Real Estate, Energy and Commodities Under One Roof to Win Resource Scarcity

**Cohen & Steers** launched the **Cohen & Steers Real Assets Active ETF (NYSE:CSRA)**, giving investors one actively managed vehicle for exposure to real estate, infrastructure, natural resources and commodities. The ETF began trading Wednesday and carries a **0.80% expense ratio**.

The launch reflects Cohen & Steers’ view that rising energy and materials demand, deglobalization and persistent supply constraints are creating a new "era of scarcity." Rather than using real assets solely as an inflation hedge, CSRA is designed to combine inflation sensitivity, diversification and long-term return potential in a single portfolio.

CSRA expands Cohen & Steers’ active ETF lineup, which already includes dedicated strategies focused on real assets, including the **Real Estate Active ETF** (NYSE:CSRE), **Infrastructure Opportunities Active ETF** (NYSE:CSIO), **Natural Resources Active ETF** (NYSE:CSNR) and **Future of Energy Active ETF** (NASDAQ:CSEN), among others.

**QUICK CONTEXT: Real Assets Take Center Stage**

Real assets have gained renewed attention as investors navigate structural shifts in the global economy, including rising demand for energy and materials and tighter supply chains. Cohen & Steers is positioning CSRA as a way to access several of these themes without requiring investors to build separate allocations across multiple asset classes.

The ETF’s active approach also gives the firm flexibility to adjust exposure across real estate, infrastructure, natural resources and commodities as market conditions change. That distinguishes CSRA from more narrowly focused ETFs that target a single real-asset segment.

For Cohen & Steers, the launch also deepens its push into active ETFs. The firm already offers dedicated active strategies across several real-asset categories, allowing CSRA to function as a broader, all-in-one option within that lineup.
