The predictability of stock returns: a cross sectional analysis

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the exploitability of stock return predictability reveals that risk-adjusted excess returns are related to market estimates and analytical estimates of company growth rates. The results of the study however, may only be a result of poor measurement and further studies may be needed to confirm observations. Return predictability may also be inversely associated with excess returns if these returns are discovered to be abnormal.

Is there a cost to being socially responsible in investing?

Article Abstract:

The average returns of a socially screened and unscreened equity universe from 1987 to 1994 showed no marked difference. A comparison of socially screened and unscreened portfolios also revealed that earnings forecasts, forecast revisions and forecast revision direction enhance portfolio creation value. The analysis correlated social screening to improved management and higher returns generation.
