This paper investigates whether ESG funds attract more fund flow and deliver better performance than their non-ESG counterparts. In addition, we examine if higher ESG scores attract more fund flow or have better performance. Since there is a large difference between the sample size of ESG funds and non-ESG funds, we use the matching approach before we run our test, in which we match three non-ESG funds for every ESG fund. The empirical results find it hard to conclude whether investors have a stronger preference for ESG funds, and we find that when it comes to flows, the role of ESG scores for ESG investors is not statistically significant. The study also finds that ESG funds tend to deliver better performance than their non-ESG counterparts, and for funds with relatively high ESG scores, increasing ESG score might narrow down their investment pool and thus harm their performance. On the contrary, for funds with relatively low ESG-score, increasing ESG scores might enhance their performance.參考文獻 Alda, M. (2020).
