Abstract

The financial market innovates and diversifies with Green Project, indexes, bonds, and portfolios. We examine whether Green Stock portfolios outperform non-Green Stock portfolios in India. Data from April 2018 to January 2022 distinguishes portfolio performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study splits time into two periods: before COVID and during COVID. The performance will be assessed using the absolute rate of return risk-adjusted indices like Sharpe, Treynor, and Jensen's Alpha. Green portfolios (excluding green bluechip) outperformed the other portfolios in this study. Green assets outperformed non-green portfolios during the COVID-19 epidemic. Green portfolios (excluding green bluechip) have higher risk-adjusted performance. The report suggests investing in green portfolios for improved returns and security against unmitigated risk factors like the COVID-19 pandemic. Since Green is the future of our world, investors, companies,and regulators should promote Green Portfolio.
