The Labor Insurance Fund and Labor Pension Fund declared in 2008 and 2009 successively to incorporate corporate social responsibility(CSR) concept into investment strategies in the near future . The investment purpose of pension funds is to provide beneficiaries adequate retirement economic protection, so the stock returns of the CSR corporations become an important issue for the public pension funds. To perform our analysis, we first choose CSR corporations both listed on the popular CSR evaluation mechanisms in Taiwan and fitting the CSR standard developed by the two public pension funds, and form the CSR portfolios with equal-weighted method. Then we apply Jensen(1968)one-factor model and Fama and French(1993) three-factor model to evaluate the stock returns of CSR portfolios. We find that the CSR portfolios’ abnormal stock returns are higher than the benchmark, but the relative risks of CSR portfolios are lower than the benchmark, and the abnormal returns persist in the year after their nomination. Besides, the abnormal returns have no significant relationship with company sizes and investment styles. |
