Abstract

The main aim of this research is to examine whether European sustainable mutual funds outperform their European conventional non sustainable peers during the financial crisis that we are all living and that derives from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In my research,This research emphasises the return comparison between the European sustainable mutual funds and their European conventional non sustainable peers by using the current financial crisis as a time period for empirical analysis. Moreover, This thesis sheds lights on the effect of the current financial crisis (that derives from the Russian-Ukraininain conflict) on European sustainable fund performance versus on European conventional non sustainable fund performance.
