Sustainable Investing: Socio-Economic
Impacts of Exchange-Traded Funds examines the social and economic
effects of sustainable investing ETFs and their impacts on the global
financial system. The book presents the key issues with regard to
sustainable investing, discussing exchange-traded funds mechanisms and
categories in comparison to competing investment funds. The book
outlines the theoretical determinants of ETF markets development and the
effects of their diffusion, both at the investor and firm levels, as
well as financial system, entire economy, and society levels. The book
presents various possible implementations of sustainable investing, and
covers the methodological aspects of their identification and
categorization.
Hybrid investment
products—such as exchange-traded funds that combine the investment
features of mutual funds with the trading features of stocks—are one of
the most rapidly growing categories of investment funds with their total
global value reaching almost $5 trillion. The book examines the
linkages between ETFs and the FinTech sector in the context of
sustainable development, as well as global sustainable development
policies in relation to their effects on the popularity of sustainable
investing. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance for
other entities that may be affected, such as policy makers and
recipients of funds invested through sustainable investment strategies.
