Tri-Criterion Model for Constructing Low-Carbon Mutual Fund Portfolios: A Preference-Based Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm Approach

[EN] Sustainable finance, which integrates environmental, social and governance criteria on financial decisions rests on the fact that money should be used for good purposes. Thus, the financial sector is also expected to play a more important role to decarbonise the global economy. To align financi...

Thus, the financial sector is also expected to play a more important role to decarbonise the global economy. To align financial flows with a pathway towards a low-carbon economy, investors should be able to integrate into their financial decisions additional criteria beyond return and risk to manage climate risk. We propose a tri-criterion portfolio selection model to extend the classical Markowitz's mean-variance approach to include investor's preferences on the portfolio carbon risk exposure as an additional criterion. To approximate the 3D Pareto front we apply an efficient multi-objective genetic algorithm called ev-MOGA which is based on the concept of epsilon-dominance. Furthermore, we introduce a-posteriori approach to incorporate the investor's preferences into the solution process regarding their climate-change related preferences measured by the carbon risk exposure and their loss-adverse attitude. We test the performance of the proposed algorithm in a cross-section of European socially responsible investments open-end funds to assess the extent to which climate-related risk could be embedded in the portfolio according to the investor's preferences.MDPI AGDepartamento de Ingeniería de Sistemas y AutomáticaDepartamento de Economía y Ciencias SocialesInstituto Universitario de Automática e Informática IndustrialEscuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería IndustrialEscuela Politécnica Superior de AlcoyGrupo de Investigación de Economía Internacional y DesarrolloRepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20202020-09-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/161873reponame:RiuNet.
