A seminal 2012 study that analyzed two groups of companies – similar in terms of industry, size, financial performance, and growth prospects – found that those in the “high sustainability group” had superior share-price performance. And a new study by Morgan Stanley’s Institute for Sustainable Investing, which analyzed the performance of 10,228 open-ended mutual funds and 2,874 separately managed accounts in the US, found that sustainable investments usually met – and often exceeded – the median returns of comparable traditional investments for the periods examined.
一项2012年的讨论研究分析了两组行业、规模、财务表现和增长前景相近的公司，结果发现“高可持续性组”的公司股票表现卓著。摩根士丹利可持续投资研究所（Institute for Sustainable Investing）的一份最新研究分析了美国10,228家开放式共同基金和2,874个独立管理账户的表现，发现可持续投资通常能够达到可比传统投资相同考察期内的中位回报，并且常常表现更好。
