摘要:We propose a quantitative framework for assessing the financial impact of any form of impact investing, including socially responsible investing (SRI), environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives, and other non-financial investment criteria. Under general bivariate distributions of the impact factor and residual returns from a multi-factor asset-pricing model, the construction and performance of optimal impact portfolios depend critically on the dependence structure (copula) between the two, which reduces to a correlation under normality assumptions. We explicitly derive the optimal portfolio weights under several copula families. We apply this framework to study the performance of green portfolios in both the US and Chinese markets, constructed using a broad range of climate-related environmental metrics, including carbon emissions, water consumption, waste disposal, land and water pollutants, air pollutants, and natural resource use.
