| Abstract: | This article addresses some questions regarding ethical investments: Does ethical screening provide any incentives for improved social responsibility within companies? Are ethical screened portfolios competitive compared with conventional funds with respect to risk-adjustment return? Does the risk-adjusted return of a screened portfolio depend on the screening strategy applied? Considering ethical screening as a kind of segmentation of the equity market, it is shown that screening might create incentives for changes in companies' behaviour. |
