다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

  Socially Responsible Investment(SRI) involves the incorporation of moral or political principles into the construction and management of an investment portfolio. In general, corporations strive to make profits and increase the value of their shareholders’ investments. The traditional view is that a corporation that meets this goal has a beneficial impact on the community where it is based by creating new jobs and by enhancing its economic welfare.<BR>  However, there is a growing view among investment professionals that environmental, social and corporate governance(ESG) issues can affect the performance portfolios. Investors fulfilling their fiduciary duty therefore need to give appropriate consideration to these issues. In recent years, a growing number of investors have been participating in a phenomenon called socially responsible investing.<BR>  Institutional investors have a fiduciary duty to act as if it were making investment decisions for itself. Ordinarily, this means that the fiduciary considers only economic criteria in order to maximize returns and increase the fund’s total asserts. If the fund manager chooses to engage in ‘socially responsible investing’, by contrast, the manager considers noneconomic criteria in making investment choices. Socially responsible investing vary in their investment objectives and in their means of pursuing these objectives. Individuals have different views as to which types of investment are beneficial to society, and this is reflected, to a limited extent, in the variety of socially responsible funds available in the market.
