The countdown to carbon neutrality: Implications for passive investors
In 2019 the European Union (EU) Climate Benchmarks Regulation established a set of standardized emission reduction criteria for financial benchmarks. This study examines the risk-adjusted performance of equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking EU Climate Transition Benchmarks (CTBs) and EU Paris-Aligned Benchmarks (PABs). Our findings reveal that, after the implementation of the regulation, equity CTB ETFs have exhibited no significant risk-adjusted performance difference compared to their non-sustainable twin ETFs. Conversely, equity PAB ETFs, which adhere to more stringent environmental standards, have underperformed their non-sustainable counterparts. Our results suggest that stringent emission reduction objectives have a negative effect on investors’ returns.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
