Abstract [sv]

På senare år har intresset för hållbarhet ökat i samhället. Allt fler vill bidra till samhället på ett positivt sätt genom att exempelvis källsortera, åka mindre bil eller minska på köttkonsumtionen. I och med det ökade intresset för hållbarhet, har även intresset för hållbara investeringsalternativ ökat. Studiens syfte är att undersöka sambandet mellan graden av hållbarhet och prestation hos fonder på den svenska fondmarknaden. Detta är en kvantitativ studie där totalt 32 svenskregistrerade fonder undersöks. Fonderna valdes ut från Morningstars onlineregister och jämfördes utifrån de fem hållbarhetsbetygen, där betyg 1 anses vara minst hållbart och betyg 5 är mest hållbart. Perioden som analyserades var 2015-01-01 till 2019-12-31. För att få fram ett resultat som kan besvara studiens frågeställningar användes faktisk avkastning, CAPM, Sharpekvot, Jensens alfa och Treynorkvot. Studien visar inte på några signifikanta resultat i att fonder presterar sämre desto hållbarare de är. Detta leder till slutsatsen att det inte går att bevisa att hållbara fonder presterar bättre eller sämre än konventionella fonder.

Abstract [en]

In later years, the interest for sustainability has increased in society. More and more people want to contribute to society in a positive way by for example, sorting at source, driving less with cars or reducing meat consumption. With the increased interest in sustainability, the interest in sustainable investment alternatives has also increased. The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between the degree of sustainability and performance of funds in the Swedish fund market. This is a quantitative study in which a total of 32 Swedish-registrered funds are examined. The funds were selected from Morningstar’s online register and compared on the basis of the five sustainability ratings, where grade 1 is considered as the least sustainable and grade 5 is the most sustainable. The period that was analyzed was 2015-01-01 to 2019-12-31. In order to get a result that can answer the questions of this study, actual return, CAPM, Sharpe ratio, Jensen’s alpha and Treynor ratio are used. The study does not show any significant results regarding the degree of sustainability and the performance. The conclusion regarding whether sustainable funds perform better or worse than conventional funds cannot be established.
