Avkastning till vilket pris som helst? : En kvantitativ studie om portföljval ur ett oetiskt perspektiv

Sammanfattning: Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how different portfolio compositions on the Stockholm Stock Exchange perform in relation to its risk between the years 2008-2020. The thesis analyzes how an unethical portfolio performs in comparison with a value portfolio, growth portfolio, random portfolio and OMX30 index. Theory: This thesis is based on the effective market hypothesis, Portfolio theory, Holding Period Returns, Sharpe ratio, Fama & French's three factor model and Oparat T-test. Method: A quantitative study with a deductive approach. The study collected data between 2008-01-01 and 2020-12-31 to see what portfolio construction generated the most returns. Results: The unethical portfolio generated the worst returns in relation to its risk. The random portfolio had the highest returns, however the value portfolio generated the best returns in relation to its risk. Conclusion: The conclusion for this thesis can be seen as that it is not worthwhile to invest in Swedish unethical companies listed on Nasdaq. To increase returns, investors should review other securities to invest in as unethical stocks neither maximize profits nor contribute to a better planet. However the unethical portfolio has a higher return than the OMX30 index.
