Abstract

We investigate the relationship between ESG performance and stock price fragility using stock holdings and flow data from Chinese equity funds. We find a negative relationship between ESG performance and stock price fragility, and better ESG performance reduces stock price fragility. We further explore the channel through which ESG performance affects stock price fragility, and we find that better ESG performance reduces investors' sensitivity to stock performance, thus reducing stock price fragility.
