Responsible investments : Incentives for selection process for sustainable funds (English)
Abstract [sv]

En global trend inom finansbranschen har varit ett ökat intresse för hållbara och ansvarsfulla investeringar från både privata investerare som vid fondbolagens komponering av fonder. I Sverige sparar majoriteten av befolkningen i fonder och en markant tillväxt bland hållbara fonder har skett. Det privata sparandet har flyttats från sparkonto till olika typer av värdepapper såsom fonder. Trots det ökade intresset föreligger ingen definition av hållbara investeringar. Syftet med studien var att förklara urvalsprocessen vid komponering av hållbara placeringsprodukter för att öka investerares kunskap om vilka premisser fondbolag inkluderar i Socially Responsible Investments fonder. I studien intervjuades tre hållbarhetsansvariga i svenska fondbolag samt en aktieanalytiker. Intervjufrågorna kretsade kring vilka premisser fondbolagen inkluderar i sina hållbara fonder samtidigt fick respondenten belysa sin framtidstro på hållbara fonder.

Studiens resultat visade på att samtliga fondbolag använder samma urvalsmetoder och följde samma urvalskriterier vid komponering av sina hållbara placeringsprodukter. Legitimitet och ekonomiskt incitament är bidragande begrepp i föreliggande studie. Resultatet som framkom var att även ifall fondbolagen tagit beslut utifrån det ena incitament så finns det kopplingar till det andra underliggande incitamentet.

Abstract [en]

A global trend in the financial sector has been an increased interest in sustainable and responsible investments from both private investors and the fund companies' composition of funds. In Sweden, most of the population saves in funds and a significant growth among sustainable funds has taken place. Private savings have been transferred from savings accounts to various types of securities such as funds. Despite the increased interest, there is no definition of sustainable investment. The purpose of the study was to explain the selection process when composing sustainable investment products to increase investors' knowledge of the premises of fund companies in Socially Responsible Investment funds.The study interviewed three sustainability managers in Swedish fund companies and one equity analyst. The interview questions revolved around what premises the fund companies include in their sustainable funds at the same time the respondent had to shed light on his future belief in sustainable funds. The study's results showed that all fund companies use the same selection methods and followed the same selection criteria when composing their sustainable investment products. Legitimacy and financial incentive are contributing concepts in the present study. The result that emerged was that even if the fund companies made decisions based on one incentive, there are links to the other underlying incentive.
