We analyse whether SRI funds focus on non-financial aspects and reduce the importance of changing their behaviour in certain calendar periods with the purpose of achieving better performance in these seasons. Considering several investment areas (Asia, Europe, Japan, USA and global), we study the season patterns on monthly, quarterly, and second-half yearly basis. In general, our results do not show seasonality behaviour. Consequently, SRI mutual funds do not vary their behaviour in certain calendar periods, revealing a more stable investment conduct, consistent with non-financial preferences. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. 000152220 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S38-17R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCINN/RTI2018-093483-B-I00 000152220 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000152220 590__ $$a1.2$$b2023 000152220 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b341 / 600 = 0.568$$c2023$$dQ3$$eT2 000152220 592__ $$a0.376$$b2023 000152220 593__ $$aEconomics and Econometrics$$c2023$$dQ3 000152220 594__ $$a2.9$$b2023 000152220 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000152220 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1667-6107$$aVicente, Ruth$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000152220 7102_ $$14002$$2230$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
