Evaluating the Performance of Ethical and Non-ethical Funds: A Matched Pair Analysis
This paper studies the performance of 60 European funds from four countries. The paper extends the UK matched pair approach for fund evaluation developed by <link rid="b35">Mallin et al. (1995)</link> to a European setting. The findings suggest that there is no difference between ethical and non-ethical funds according to the performance measures employed. Neither type of fund displayed any ability to time the market. Finally, the results indicate that the management fee is a significant explanatory variable for the Jensen measure as <link rid="b6">Chen et al. (1992)</link> and <link rid="b25">Grinblatt and Titman (1994)</link> suggested. Copyright Blackwell Publishers Ltd, 2005.
