Abstract: A survey was conducted to investigate investment style and
drivers of socially responsible investment (SRI) among institutional
investors. Respondents were 60 professionals working as SRI or non-SRI
investors in 19 different Swedish banks, pension funds, or mutual fund
companies. The results showed that non-SRI investors perceived market
regulations to be a stronger driver of SRI, while SRI investors perceived
others´ behaviour to be stronger driver. No differences were found between
SRI and non-SRI investors with respect to short- term vs. long-term or
active vs. passive investment styles.
