ESG-Valued Portfolio Optimization and Dynamic Asset Pricing

6 Jun 2022  ·  Davide Lauria, W. Brent Lindquist, Stefan Mittnik, Svetlozar T. Rachev ·

ESG ratings provide a quantitative measure for socially responsible investment. We present a unified framework for incorporating numeric ESG ratings into dynamic pricing theory. Specifically, we introduce an ESG-valued return that is a linearly constrained transformation of financial return and ESG score. This leads to a more complex portfolio optimization problem in a space governed by reward, risk and ESG score. The framework preserves the traditional risk aversion parameter and introduces an ESG affinity parameter. We apply this framework to develop ESG-valued: portfolio optimization; capital market line; risk measures; option pricing; and the computation of shadow riskless rates.
