Sustainable investing stabilizes financial markets during crisis, study finds.
In times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, green bonds were found to be more resilient than regular bonds, with fewer sales during the outbreak. This suggests that sustainable investing can help stabilize financial markets during turmoil. Sustainability-focused funds sold less green bonds than others, showing their impact. Ownership of green bonds is more concentrated than regular bonds, and this concentration increased in early 2020.
