Mutual Fund Attributes and Investor Behavior
研究发现社会责任基金的投资者现金流月度波动低于传统基金，且对正收益更敏感，对负收益反应较弱，表明投资者从社会责任属性中获得效用。
Abstract I study the dynamics of investor cash flows in socially responsible mutual funds. Consistent with anecdotal evidence of loyalty, the monthly volatility of investor cash flows is lower in socially responsible funds than in conventional funds. I find strong evidence that cash flows into socially responsible funds are more sensitive to lagged positive returns than cash flows into conventional funds, and weaker evidence that cash outflows from socially responsible funds are less sensitive to lagged negative returns. These results indicate that investors derive utility from the socially responsible attribute, especially when returns are positive.
