Does Going Green Pay the Green: A Comparative Analysis of Environmentally Friendly Funds and Conventional Investments
Abstract
As the demand for more environmentally friendly businesses continue
to grow, companies are forced to adopt corporate policies and think
about both the bottom line and its overall environmental impact.
Terms like green and sustainable are used but are loosely defined and
similarly do not communicate to shareholders and investors to what
extent a company is green or environmentally friendly. Findings
resulted in the realization that defining green and sustainable funds
can take a broad or more narrow approach. The findings showed that
sustainable investments funds do perform well but are not
outperforming the largest mutual funds and exchange-traded funds
(ETFs).
