We investigate the relationship between operational leanness and institutional ownership. Based on a sample of 12,291 firm‐year observations of US manufacturing firms from 1998 to 2020, we find leaner firms to attract significantly more institutional investors – both in terms of the fraction of shares held and the number of institutional investors holding shares of the firm. This finding holds in several tests addressing endogeneity concerns. Contrary to studies investigating the relationship between operational leanness and operating performance or credit ratings, our results do not provide consistent evidence that this relationship is also of a concave shape. However, we provide evidence that the relationship is stronger (i) for firms with weak corporate governance and high firm‐specific monitoring costs and (ii) for active institutions, suggesting that not only firm performance considerations but also perceived lower agency costs are important mechanisms explaining why institutional investors prefer lean manufacturing firms. Taken together, these findings contribute to our understanding of institutional investors’ preferences in general and across institution types.

We investigate how an investor’s preference for sustainable assets in the portfolio varies for differing levels of risk aversion. Using a sample of 411 publicly listed firms in the S&P 500, we calculate financial and sustainability returns, on which the investor’s utility depends. We approximate the investor’s preference by the exponential and s-shaped utility function and optimize with regard to the sustainability preference. We find that with increasing levels of risk aversion, both minimum-variance and maximum Sharpe ratio type investors seek to incorporate sustainable assets in the portfolio.

We investigate how the volatility of carbon emission allowance (EUA) prices affects European stock market sectors. We employ a connectedness network analysis on prices of EUA futures and FTSE stock market sector indices and find that the EUA is mostly a net receiver of volatility connectedness and significantly receives volatility across most sectors during the recent European energy crisis.

We investigate the value of investor relations (IR) and find firms with strong IR to experience between five and eight percentage points higher stock returns than those with weak IR during the COVID-19 crisis. Firms with better-quality IR are also associated with higher investor loyalty and appear to have attracted significantly more institutional investors over the crisis period. This suggests that a firm’s IR contributes to value generation by enhancing credibility with shareholders and by diversifying its shareholder base. After decomposing IR into public and private transmission channels, we find the private IR function to be the main driver of our results.
... Jansson et al. (2014) predicted that risk attitude would be positively related to SRI preferences on the basis of less efficient diversification, but their results showed the opposite, suggesting that sustainable investments were perceived as less risky. Aslan and Posch (2022) noted that with increasing levels of risk aversion, investors seek to incorporate sustainable investments into their portfolios, whereas Lagerkvist et al. (2020) showed that sustainability-focused individuals tend to avoid larger levels of risk exposure compared with financially-focused individuals. Conversely, other authors found the opposite. ...

... The results of the Toda-Yamamoto co-integration test, along with the causality Granger test, demonstrate a causality direction from stock indices to the carbon market. Aslan and Posch (2022) discover the volatility connectedness between FTSE300 and EUA prices, using the Diebold-Yilmaz method for the third and last phase of the EU-ETS. According to the outcomes, the carbon market is a net receiver of volatilities from the stock market, and this connection enhances during the latest energy crisis in the EU. ...

... We further control for various firm characteristics that are likely to be related to ESG violations (Wahid 2019;Zaman et al. 2021;Heese et al. 2022;Neukirchen et al. 2022). We control for firm size (SIZE); financial performance (return on assets, ROA and losses, LOSS); ...

... We investigate whether the asymmetric variation in our oil volatility index impacts our daily market returns. There is great concern amongst shareholders about negative volatility amid a crisis; as a result, investors may respond more strongly to bad news than to good news (Garel & Petit-Romec, 2021;Neukirchen, Engelhardt, Krause, & Posch, 2022). Consequently, we have utilized a quantile regression approach in the current study to understand this pattern better. ...

... This type of investor tends to be more loyal by holding their assets in times of crisis (Siddiq & Javed, 2014). A considerable number of studies have focused on the global financial crisis and revealed that companies with good ESG scores have high stock returns and lower volatility during the turmoil period (Gul & Altuntas, 2024;Horobet et al., 2024;Liu et al., 2023;Naseer et al., 2024;Zhou & Zhou, 2023;Chininga et al., 2024;Engelhardt et al., 2021). ...

... This might be because of things like having more debt, having fewer financial resources, and being more vulnerable to market fluctuations. Neukirchen et al. (2022) looked into the connection between stock market responses to COVID-19 news announcements and business age. According to the findings, older businesses were more resilient than younger ones when it came to how their stock prices responded to news about the epidemic. ...

... His empirical research demonstrates that this volatility was primarily driven by two key factors: the number of new daily infection cases globally and within the United States and the escalating fatality ratio. Engelhardt et al. (2021) posit that trust in the government plays a crucial role in mitigating market volatility. Their findings indicate that increased levels of societal and governmental trust are associated with lower levels of uncertainty within the country's stock market. ...

... As already mentioned, VaR calculation is a portfolio risk prediction method that, by its very nature, offers a trader or investor a prediction of the maximum possible loss for a particular securities portfolio at specific market characteristics and at a specific level of materiality that defines the probability of a given loss. (Dong et al., 2020;Mitic et al., 2020;Zhang et al., 2019;Bucher et al., 2020;Corbetta and Peri, 2018;Leippold and Vasiljevic, 2020) Based on the nature of trading, and on our proposed trading system, we proposed a procedure based on adjusting the formula for calculating normal linear VaR such that the result of such a calculation was not the amount of financial loss but the level of significance at which such a loss occurred. Del Brio et al., 2020;Chen et al., 2019) The logic of such a calculation lies in the fact that, based on the setting of the risk management of the trading system, we know the monetary expression for the maximum loss, which we accept in the event of unstoppable developments, and therefore the probability with which such a result will occur is unknown. ...
