The Relationship

The notion of rational investment is not attuned with the idea of socially responsible investment. Incongruence with conventional investments, the SRI/sustainable investment/ethical investment is pertained to ethical, environmental and social criteria (Eccles and Viviers,2011). All investors are not single-minded for an objective of wealth creation. The welfare of society and the environment are among the other drivers of investment. In certain cases, investors do prefer sustainable development to personal financial aspects (Beal et al., 2005). The present study has primarily focused on assessing the relationship between individual investors’ attributes and their noneconomic goal in order to comprehend their socially responsible investment behaviour specifically in Indian scenario. The findings of study are useful for fund managers, regulators and researchers as study has provided useful insights regarding behaviour of Indian investors for responsible investments.

Vote Counting

Over the last twenty years, the debate on financial performance of socially responsible investment (SRI) has not yielded a clear consensus, arguing mainly that there was no difference in performance between SRI and ‘conventional’ investment, although SRI could underperform or outperform in some cases. Our research, based on a meta-analysis ‘vote-counting’ approach of the empirical literature, allows us to observe that the effects of SRI on financial performance are multiple. Second, we conclude that the financial performance of SRI is radically changing according to the empirical methods employed by researchers.
