Sammanfattning

On a full sample of ESG-rated S&P 500 stocks from 2003 to 2024, ESG overlays add no statistically significant alpha improvement to the Quality-minus-Junk strategy. Furthermore, ESG overlays also fail to improve returns within the Quality leg. Results are confirmed with factor-controls up to FF5+1, as well as several robustness tests. These findings challenge earlier research that suggest an "icing on the cake" effect for high-quality stocks.
