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."

Der chinesische Smartphone-Hersteller Vivo vollzieht seinen offiziellen Markteintritt in der Schweiz und startet gleichzeitig einen eigenen Webshop für Schweizer Kundinnen und Kunden. Bislang waren Vivo-Geräte hierzulande nur über Dritthändler erhältlich. Mit dem direkten Vertrieb will der Konzern seine Präsenz im hiesigen Markt ausbauen und sich in einem von Apple und anderen etablierten Marken dominierten Premium-Segment positionieren.

Zum Start lanciert Vivo sein aktuelles Flaggschiff X300 Ultra, das in der Schweiz für 1.824 Franken angeboten wird. Global zählt der Konzern zu den fünf größten Smartphone-Produzenten und hat im ersten Quartal 2026 nach eigenen Angaben weltweit mehr als 21 Millionen Geräte verkauft. In Europa ist Vivo seit 2020 aktiv, ließ sich mit dem Schritt in die Schweiz jedoch bis jetzt Zeit.

Im Zentrum der Vermarktung des X300 Ultra steht die Kamera-Ausstattung. Das Gerät verfügt laut Hersteller über ein Zeiss-Triple-Prime-System mit Brennweiten von 85, 35 und 14 Millimetern sowie einer weiterentwickelten Farbtechnologie, die Smartphone-Fotografie auf ein neues Niveau heben soll. Die Hauptkamera bietet eine Auflösung von 200 Megapixeln. Zielgruppe sind Foto- und Videograf:innen, denen Vivo ein „aussergewöhnliches Nutzungserlebnis“ verspricht. „Mit dem X300 Ultra bringen wir erstmals ein Gerät unserer Ultra-Serie – und damit auch unser bislang innovativstes Kamera-Flaggschiff – in die Schweiz und markieren zugleich unseren offiziellen Markteintritt“, sagt Martin Wallner, Vice President von Vivo Österreich und der Schweiz.

Technisch setzt Vivo beim X300 Ultra auf ein 6,82 Zoll großes LTPO-AMOLED-Display mit einer Auflösung von 1.440 x 3.168 Pixeln. Das Dual-SIM-fähige Gerät unterstützt 4G, 5G, WLAN, NFC und Bluetooth 5.4 und ist mit einem 6.600-mAh-Akku ausgestattet. Das Smartphone bringt 232 Gramm auf die Waage, ist 8,49 Millimeter dick und kommt in den Farbvarianten „Volcano Black“ und „Steppe Green“. Eine Armor-Glass-Aussenhülle sowie IP68- und IP69-Zertifizierungen gegen Staub und Wasser sollen für besondere Robustheit sorgen. In Deutschland hat Vivo den Marktstart des Modells für den 24. April 2026 mit einem Preis von 1.999 Euro angegeben.
