Abstract:

As digital connectivity transforms financial decision-making, this study offers one of the first empirical investigations into the relationship between social media use and socially responsible investing (SRI). Using data from the 2021 National Financial Capability Study, multinomial regression analysis was used to explore whether people who rely on social media for investment decisions were more likely to invest in ways that reflect their values. The results show that investors who use social media for investment information are more likely to value being socially responsible as an important

Abstract:

A growing number of investors, globally and in South Africa, are embracing the concept of Responsible Investing (RI). In essence RI refers to a combination of investment strategies that integrate ethical as well as environmental, social and corporate governance considerations into investment analysis and decision making processes. Given the growing influence that investors are exerting on corporate decision making, the purpose of this paper was to position RI within an appropriate ethical framework. It is shown that RI constitutes a form of moral investing as responsible investors express a co

AbstractThis study investigates the value relevance of corporate impact investing (II) and socially responsible investing (SRI) strategies. We use the presence of sustainability strengths and the absence of sustainability concerns as proxies for corporate II and SRI strategies, respectively. Analyzing data from the 1991–2015 MSCI KLD environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of U.S. firms and employing a system of linear equations to control for endogeneity, we find that both corporate II and SRI are negatively associated with short‐term stock performance.

Recently, given the causes of the 2008 financial crisis, these concerns became even more relevant. However, while a diverse set of models have been developed to support investment decision-making based on financial criteria, models including also socially responsible criteria are rather scarce.

Abstract We construct optimal portfolios of mutual funds whose objectives include socially responsible investment (SRI). Comparing portfolios of these funds to those constructed from the broader fund universe reveals the cost of imposing the SRI constraint on investors seeking the highest Sharpe ratio. This SRI cost crucially depends on the investor’s views about asset pricing models and stock-picking skill by fund managers. To an investor who strongly believes in the CAPM and rules out managerial skill, that is, a market index investor, the cost of the SRI constraint is typically just a few b

Sustainable development requires a shift from traditionally invested assets to socially responsible investing (SRI), bringing together financial profits and social welfare. Private high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are critical for this shift as they control nearly half of global wealth. While we know little about HNWIs’ investment behavior, reference group theory suggests that their SRI engagement is influenced by their identification with and comparison to reference groups. We thus ask: how do reference groups influence the investment behavior of SRI-oriented HNWIs? To answer this question,

Abstract:

In their pursuit of value creation, charitable foundations are mission- rather than profit-driven. Therefore, foundations are also mission-driven investors. We explore the effects of mission-driven portfolio selection based on three model foundations, representing common fields of activity in Switzerland. Employing a moving block bootstrap approach, we simulate time series. Based on these model foundations and under the integration of qualitative company rating data, such as environmental, social, and governance-related characteristics (ESG), we find both negative and no significant financial

Abstract:

The dramatic growth of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) in recent decades has made them a significant phenomenon in global financial markets and raised the prospect of more enlightened investing that respects the environmental underpinnings of economic prosperity. Until the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, the movement for socially responsible investing (SRI) had been the only noteworthy dissenting voice to the traditional complacency about the financial economy’s wider impacts. That financial calamity not only unveiled a systemic malaise in the financial alchemy of the global economy but also hi

The year 2013 marked the 21st anniversary of responsible investing (RI) in South Africa. No systematic analysis of the nature of RI strategies and criteria has, however, been conducted. Content analysis of the investment mandates of 73 RI funds has revealed that the majority of asset managers employ impact investing strategies which address social issues such as infrastructure development and economic empowerment.
