Abstract

In an era when the global economy prioritizes sustainability, the significance of green investments resonates more strongly than ever, impacting industries and regions worldwide. This research introduces a novel method, the Rolling Window Wavelet Quantile Correlation (RWWQC) technique, to investigate the safe haven, hedging, and diversification properties of green investments for energy commodities. Our findings reveal that green investments serve as safe havens, hedges, and diversifiers for energy commodities. Furthermore, we highlight that the strength of these roles varies with the investment holding period. These findings offer valuable insights for both individual and institutional investors seeking effective portfolio diversification strategies and carry significant policy implications in the pursuit of sustainable investments.
