Tiivistelmä: | This study aims to analyze investor behaviour towards socially responsible (SR) mutual funds. The analysis is based on an experimental study where a sample of individuals takes investment decisions under different parameters of information about the investment alternatives and expected returns. Two treatments are performed, each providing a different degree of information on the SR character of one of the two investment alternatives. The results suggest that although individuals' criteria for investment are essentially guided by returns and diversification, participants invest notably more in a fund when they are explicitly informed about its SR nature. Particularly, participants who declare being concerned about SR actually invest significantly more in the SR alternative etc. |
