- W2270188078 abstract "2015 dissertation for MSc Finance and Risk. Selected by academic staff as a good example of a masters level dissertation.Ethical funds have got attention to investors due to the nature of investmentand selection of stocks. Over the time growth of ethical funds or SRI fundshas been increasing. Considering the evolution of ethical funds, this studyhas been undertaken to compare the performance among the ethical funds,conventional funds, simulated portfolio and Market Portfolio in the UK andMalaysia. The main objective of the study was to identify the performance ofethical mutual funds over conventional funds, simulated portfolio and localmarket portfolio and how the performances of ethical funds differ. The studyhas been conducted collecting regarding nine conventional funds in the UK,nine ethical funds in UK, Listed stocks of FTSE100, FTSE100 indexperformance, nine conventional funds in Malaysia, nine ethical funds inMalaysia, Listed stocks of FTSE Bursa KLCI and performance of FTSE BursaKLCI. Data has been collected from Bloomberg and analyzed through MonteCarlo simulation and Sharp ratio.Overall analysis of the study concludes that the performance of ethical fundsis higher than the market portfolio (FTSE100 index) performance but lowerthan the simulated portfolio in the UK. However, the performance of ethicalfunds and conventional funds in the UK is almost similar. This is due tosimilar types of investment allocation and fees related to investment. In UKinvestors may not only consider the return from funds for investment butalso social issues can be considered to select the funds of own choice. Asthere is no difference between the performances of ethical funds andconventional funds so people might be interested in ethical funds to makethem socially more responsible.On the other hand in Malaysia, ethical funds are performing poorly thanconventional funds, simulated portfolio and local market portfolio (FTSEBursa KLCI: IND). This indicates that ethical funds are sacrificingperformance compared to conventional funds and other portfolios. Theauthor found that all the mutual funds in Malaysia are associated withShariah-based investment. For this reason, investors are selecting ethicalfunds with less return. Here investors are considering Halal or Haram issuesrather than return to take investment decision. Researcher also found thatvarious fees associated with ethical funds are higher than from theconventional funds.Moreover, the ethical funds of Malaysia are poorly performing compared tothe ethical funds of the UK. The author in this study found that the variousfees associated with the funds management is higher is Malaysia than theUK, information asymmetry for the investors of Malaysia as Malaysian marketin developing. Besides these, asset allocation decision also causes thedifference of performance. Lastly, the Malaysian investors focus on economicgrowth than the ethical issue as still they are in developing stage. Whereas,the investors of the UK giving emphasis on ethical issues to invest as theireconomy is already developed." @default.
