Abstract

[eng] Performance on the SRI market . Often linked to the only ethical management, SRI doesn’t concern only moral values. As for quite other investment, the optimization of the return/risk ratio is the main purpose. The question is to know how extra-financial criteria contribute to the return of investments. First, the authors differentiate different forms of this asset management and consider their possible consequences on the risk/return ratio. Then, they present results of academic surveys concerning link between extra-financial criteria in the asset management and the financial performance of portfolios. Finally, the authors describe two recent analyses : the one on the sustainable criteria in comparison with their traditional counterparts and the other one on the impact of the social responsibility of firms on financial performance. . JEL classification : G11, M14 [fre] Souvent assimilé à tort à la seule gestion éthique, l’ISR ne s’en tient pas qu’aux valeurs morales. Comme pour tout autre placement, l’optimisation du rapport rendement/risque est de mise. La question est de savoir dans quelle mesure la satisfaction de critères extra-financiers par les entreprises contribue à l’appréciation des rendements des placements. Les auteurs distinguent tout d’abord les différentes formes que revêt ce style de gestion et appréhendent les conséquences possibles sur le couple risque/rendement. Puis, ils rappellent les résultats de travaux académiques déjà publiés concernant le lien entre l’existence de critères extra-financiers dans la gestion d’actifs et la performance financière des portefeuilles. Enfin, les auteurs détaillent deux analyses récentes : l’une sur le comportement des indices durables par rapport à leurs homologues traditionnels et l’autre sur l’impact des différents thèmes de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises sur la performance financière. . Classification JEL : G11, M14
