The Future

Socially responsible investment (SRI) is attracting increasing interest worldwide and is also an excellent strategy for the future. Although SRI is present in emerging markets, very few studies to date have examined its reach within these markets and familiarity of investors with this concept. In our study we surveyed 300 Algerian investors in order to investigate reasons why SRI in Algeria is still low. The objective of this research is to analyze and put light on what are the reasons behind investors’ choice of investments toward or against SRI and to provide some recommendations helping to promote SRI in Algeria. The results based on the questionnaire survey demonstrate that SRI is still not-known to lots of Algerian investors. It is also found that financial institutions and advisors have a positive impact by bringing SRI concept closer to investors. Also, accrediting SRI products by public authorities influence massively the orientation of investors toward the SRI.

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.

Worldwide pension funds, in their capacity as large institutional investors, are under increasing pressure to take social and environmental considerations into account in their investment decision-making process. The concepts Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and Environmental Social Governance (ESG) are indeed ubiquitous in the current investment and pension community. This article aims to provide some insight into the conceptual relationship between SRI and ESG and its legal implications for the investment behaviour of private pension funds in the USA and the EU. Hence, the first part of the article gives some background to the distinct concepts of SRI and ESG. This leads to the finding that SRI goes one step further than ESG by prioritising moral or ethical considerations that may not be material to an investment’s financial performance, whereas ESG functions as a guideline to enhance financial performance. The second part analyses the legal possibilities and constraints for responsible investment in American occupational pensions and the third part does the same for European occupational pensions. The article concludes with a summary and comparative overview of the American and European lessons.
