Financial Performance of Government Bond Portfolios Based on Environmental, Social and Governance Criteria
Resumen: We evaluated the financial performance of government bond portfolios formed according to socially responsible investment (SRI) criteria. We thus open a discussion on the financial performance of SRI for government bonds. Our sample includes 24 countries over the period of June 2006 to December 2017. Using various financial performance measures, the results suggest that high-ratedgovernmentbonds,accordingtoenvironmental,social,andgovernance(ESG)dimensions, outperform low-ranked bonds under any cut-off, although differences are not statistically significant. These findings suggest that ESG screenings can be used for government bonds without sacrificing financial performance.
